Chapter 1356 - 897:
So, she was willing to play dumb, to maintain a superficial peace, but today, her husband’s actions disappointed her too much, forcing her to the point where she couldn’t pretend to be oblivious anymore.
"Meiqing..." Ever since he got married to his old partner, Qian Zhenghong had never seen his wife be so cold to anyone. Even though he had a family outside, he never thought about separating from his old wife. Now, he was truly panicked.
"Don’t worry, I won’t divorce you. At this age, even if I don’t care about my own face, I have to care about the children’s..." With a long sigh, Old Lady Qian looked utterly disinterested, "Qian Zhenghong, go on as you please in the future. Even if you want to move in with that woman, I won’t say anything."
"Meiqing..." Old Master Qian looked at his wife in panic, "Meiqing, don’t be like this. The bond between us as husband and wife is unmatched.
I can’t just leave her alone now. I can promise you that I will try to interact with her less in the future. You..." After hesitating, he made his request, "Please don’t let the young ones know, okay?"
"Ha..." Old Lady Qian looked at him amusedly, "Do you think the young ones don’t know? Isn’t that a bit too naive? If I’m not mistaken, apart from Dakun, probably no one doesn’t know about this.
So Qian Zhenghong, if you’re only worried about how the young ones see you and that’s why you don’t dare to do anything with me, there’s no need. The fact that I, Yang Meiqing, can speak to you so clearly means I’ve thought this through. How to proceed is up to you."
Old Master Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Towards his old wife, it’s not like there was no feeling; after all, they’ve been married for over fifty years. However, he cared more about his status and face within the family.
No matter if the young ones knew privately, as long as they didn’t tear things up and divorce at such an old age, he could pretend nothing ever happened.
Moreover, he was also holding onto some luck, thinking that as long as it didn’t reach the final step, without concrete evidence, it would remain ambiguous, and the young ones might be half-believing the rumors.
In the future, as long as he’s careful and doesn’t get caught red-handed, it’s not impossible for the matter to gradually be forgotten...
Old Lady Qian had been observing her husband’s expression. Having lived together for so many years, any emotional change in him couldn’t escape her eyes. Even the little reluctance she had left finally vanished completely upon seeing the calculation in his eyes.
Right now, she really didn’t want to see him; she simply got up and walked out. Old Master Qian, in his urgency, grabbed her: "Where are you going?"
"Guest room."
"No way!" Old Master Qian tightly held onto her, "If you do this, what will the younger ones think?" Realizing his tone was a bit harsh, he quickly softened it, "Meiqing, we’ve been married all our lives, and at our age, let’s not make a fuss and let others laugh at us, alright?"
"I don’t care."
"Meiqing, you can’t be so selfish..."
"Not helping you act is selfish?" Old Lady Qian stared at him speechlessly, "Qian Zhenghong, to bully someone so self-righteously, you truly are one of a kind."
"It doesn’t make me look good, and it doesn’t make you look good either, right?" Old Master Qian collected his smile, looking seriously at Old Lady Qian, "A man lives for dignity, just like a tree lives for its bark. Ultimately, what you decide to do is up to you." With that, he let go of her and sat back on the sofa.
Old Lady Qian glanced at him indifferently, turned around, opened the door, and quickly slipped out.
Old Master Qian was stunned there; he thought that by saying so much, Old Lady Qian would definitely not dare to leave... No, he quickly got up and walked toward the door, only for Old Lady Qian to suddenly push the door open and come back in! He thought so, he couldn’t have misjudged, and a self-satisfied look appeared on his face...
"There’s something I want to make clear right now..." Old Lady Qian looked at him with a calm expression, "Dakun should return to his mother’s side. Don’t think about using any methods to bring him back.
Let me remind you, as a father, at this point, you must know what you should or shouldn’t think. If the young ones become disheartened..." The old lady opened her hands, "Do I need to say more?"
"Everything I do is for the development of the family, even if you’re angry with me, you shouldn’t twist the facts and wrong me..." Old Master Qian glared angrily at the old lady, "If you don’t want me to hate you, don’t do such self-damaging things that don’t benefit anyone."
"Seems like, once torn apart, you really don’t care about anything..." Old Lady Qian sighed, "Qian Zhenghong, we’ve been married for over fifty years. Somethings shouldn’t be done too ruthlessly; otherwise, you’ll regret it, not me."
"You..." Old Master Qian took a deep breath before saying, "Yang Meiqing, I’ve backed down again and again, and now you’re clearly not stopping until you push me into a corner, am I right?
Fine, whatever you want to do, do it. Leave if you want, go if you like. As long as you think you won’t regret it, do whatever you wish. I definitely won’t stop you again."
"Getting angry out of shame?" Old Lady Qian looked at him speechlessly, "Qian Zhenghong, do you think provoking me will work? If you’re capable, provoke me more, and I will absolutely satisfy your wishes!"
Old Master Qian’s lips moved, but he dared not utter another word. He could see that the old lady wasn’t joking, so this wasn’t a joke he could afford to make...(To be continued.
