Shen Qingyue interrupted him, saying, "Leave, I'm working."
Shen Yiyan took several deep breaths before speaking, "There's a business banquet tomorrow evening. You and I will attend together as representatives of the group. I've placed the list of attending companies and their information on your desk."
Shen Qingyue glanced at it and said, "For such trivial matters, you can have the secretary handle them in the future."
Upon mentioning this, Shen Yiyan felt aggrieved. Lately, that old man Shen Jun seemed to have gone crazy. He took away the secretary whom Shen Yiyan trusted the most and replaced him with someone else who constantly monitored him.
"Next time, don't bother calling me," Shen Yiyan glared at Shen Qingyue and walked away.
At noon, Qin Zhen went to the hospital to visit Wei Jiu'er.
Wei Jiu'er was enjoying a delicious lunch when a nurse rushed in and said, "Miss Wei, Mr. Qin is here."
Upon hearing this, Wei Jiu'er quickly hid the food in a drawer, leaving only a bowl of vegetable porridge, and made her lips appear paler. When Qin Zhen entered, her pale lips moved, "Zhen, you're here."
Qin Zhen glanced at the porridge on the table and asked, "You've just had lunch?"
Wei Jiu'er weakly replied, "Yes, the nurse just bought it, and I haven't had a chance to eat yet."
"I'll feed you," Qin Zhen took off his suit jacket and sat down by the bed. He noticed a bag of snacks in the trash can, and his expression changed. Suddenly, he lifted the blanket and pressed it against Wei Jiu'er's bandaged wound.
Everything happened too quickly, and Wei Jiu'er could not react in time.
Qin Zhen had been observing her expression all along, his face turning dark. "You weren't injured at all, were you?"
Wei Jiu'er, with a forced explanation, said, "Yesterday, when I was stitched up, I was given anesthesia..."
"Wei Jiu'er!" This was the first time Qin Zhen angrily confronted Wei Jiu'er, "Do you think I'm a fool? You received anesthesia yesterday, and the effects haven't worn off by noon today!"
Wei Jiu'er had never seen Qin Zhen like this before and was instantly frightened. She hurriedly hugged Qin Zhen's waist and said, "I had no choice... Shen Qingyue said that if I didn't help her divorce you, she would send me out of the country... I'm really scared, I can't bear to lose you..."
In the past, Qin Zhen would have felt sorry for Wei Jiu'er when seeing her like this. However, this time, he hesitated. He realized that his pure and clean first love had hidden ulterior motives. Who knows if this was the first time or the second time, or even the countless times? Once the seed of doubt was planted, it was difficult to eradicate.
"What about the news? Don't tell me that Shen Qingyue forced you into that too! Do you think she's gone mad?"
Wei Jiu'er was completely panicked, hugging him even tighter. Various thoughts flashed through her mind, and in the end, she confessed directly, "I was wrong this time. I just couldn't accept being threatened by Shen Qingyue before... I did all this just to be with you... Zhen, you have to believe me, I truly love you. Otherwise, five years ago, I wouldn't have risked my life to save you..."
As he heard the mention of five years ago, Qin Zhen's attitude finally softened. If it was not for Wei Jiu'er's desperate rescue when Shen Qingyue left him behind, he wouldn't be where he was today. Even if Wei Jiu'er had truly made a mistake, he was the least qualified person to blame her.
In the end, Wei Jiu'er was also human and could experience jealousy.
Finally, he hugged Wei Jiu'er back and said, "Let's forget about this incident, but you're not allowed to deceive me again in the future."
Wei Jiu'er nodded heavily in his arms, but her eyes held a hint of cunning. That vile Shen Qingyue, even after divorcing Qin Zhen, dared to ruin her good fortune!
...
The next evening, Shen Qingyue rode in Shen Yiyan's car to the venue of the banquet. However, halfway through the journey, Shen Yiyan suddenly said he needed to retrieve a gift and got out of the car. Shen Qingyue did noot think much of it, but as soon as she pushed open the car door to step out, she realized she had been played by Shen Yiyan. Her phone and wallet were still in the car!
She had to walk at least three kilometers to reach the destination, and wearing high heels, she would undoubtedly suffer. However, she only furrowed her brows slightly. Compared to the three years spent in the Qin family, this level of hardship was too bland.
However, as she walked a certain distance, a car stopped next to her. She turned her head and saw Qin Zhen's familiar Maybach.
Shen Qingyue looked towards the back seat, where Qin Zhen and Wei Jiu'er were sitting.
Qin Zhen met her gaze and scolded the driver, "Who told you to stop? Drive."
Wei Jiu'er sympathetically suggested, "Zhen, why don't we give Qingyue a ride? It's still quite a distance from here, and continuing to walk like this will strain her legs..."
Qin Zhen coldly replied, "Does it concern me? Drive!"
Upon hearing this, a gloating expression appeared on Wei Jiu'er's face.
The apologetic driver glanced at Shen Qingyue, thinking that the boss might show some sympathy, especially since she was the former madam. However, now... all he could do was drive away.
