Chapter 493 Warmth
In the past, Jiang Tao didn’t fight for the power of the Jiang family.
However, the consequence was people kept coming after him because he was the official heir. Now, they even hurt the people he liked.
Now, he had someone to protect. Therefore, he wanted the power of the Jiang family.
When the Jiang Family announced the annulment, the Qin Family lost a lot of face.
“Bastards!” Qin Xingbao was fuming at home. “Jiang Huaiyuan and Jiang Tao have really gone too far!”
Although the reason for breaking off the engagement was a fact, it was still a huge humiliation.
In the past, everyone would only mock and ridicule the Qin Family in private. But now, they did it openly.
Everyone in the capital knew that Qin Yan would not be able to marry anymore… or rather, she couldn’t marry well.
If she wanted to marry, she could only marry into a family whose power and influence were not as good as the Qin family.
In other words, Qin Yan could only marry into a low-class family.
Bang! Qin Xingbao angrily threw away another teacup on the table.
Madam Qin and Qin Junfeng sat on the sofa. Their faces were tense, and their expressions were unusually ugly.
Qin Yan sat on the other side. Her originally beautiful appearance was now ferocious and distorted, and her eyes were bursting with intense hatred and viciousness.
Madam Qin’s face was tense. She tightly pursed her lips, and the anger in her eyes soared.
A moment later, Madam Qin said, “Hubby, we absolutely can’t let this matter go. We need to do something.”
Qin Xingbao’s sharp eyes swept over her as he sternly asked, “So, what do you want to do? This is…” Qin Yan’s fault to begin with.
However, Qin Xingbao glanced at his pale and pitiful daughter and didn’t continue speaking.
Madam Qin choked and didn’t know what to say.
At this moment, Qin Yan said firmly, “Dad, let me marry Gong Tianhao. If I marry Gong Tianhao, then the friendship between Jiang Tao and Gong Tianhao will be broken, and the Gong and Jiang families will become enemies. The Qin Family will obtain the greatest benefits too.
“This way, I can take revenge on the Jiang family. My lifelong dream will be fulfilled. The Qin Family will gain a lot from the union. Killing three birds with one stone, how great would that be?!”
Qin Xingbao, “…”
Qin Junfeng, “…”
She is still daydreaming.
At this moment, Madam Qin echoed, “I think Yan ‘Er is right. Since the engagement has been annulled, Yan ‘Er is not bound by the contract anymore. It will be much easier for her to marry Gong Tianhao.”
Qin Junfeng suddenly said weakly, “Mom, if Gong Tianhao likes little sister, naturally, that will be great.
“But the problem now is that Gong Tianhao doesn’t like little sister at all. He already has another woman. For that woman, he even… Moreover, with little sister’s current state… It’s even more impossible for Gong Tianhao to like little sister.” There were some things that he really couldn’t say to his little sister.
Why were his mother and sister so hung up on this? Then again, if they weren’t, the Qin Family wouldn’t be in this state that day.
When Qin Yan heard Qin Junfeng’s words, her eyes immediately revealed a fierce light. With a huge complaint, she said loudly and fiercely, “Brother, didn’t you promise to help me before? Why did you go back on your words now? Is it because your sister’s reputation is too bad now, and she has no value anymore? Since I was young, you said you loved me the most.” At this point, Qin Yan sneered and said sarcastically, “It looks like you were being fake too.”
The Qin couple, “…”
Qin Junfeng, “…” His face was full of black lines, but he felt very powerless.
Qin Xingbao frowned and was very dissatisfied.
Madam Qin’s expression changed, and she said to Qin Yan nicely, “Yan ‘Er, you can’t talk about your brother like that. Your Brother really loves you very much. Ever since you were young, he has always been there to protect you. Your brother is only saying things. He’ll definitely help you.” As a mother, she naturally hoped that her children would get along
Madam Qin immediately looked at Qin Junfeng and gestured with her eyes. Then, she asked, “Feng ‘Er, you will definitely help your sister, right?”
“Yes!” Qin Junfeng had no choice but to nod his head and agree.
Getting Gong Tianhao to marry Qin Yan was something that was almost impossible. However, his sister had gone crazy, so he could only go along with it for now.
When Qin Yan heard her brother’s reply, her tears turned into a smile. She said, “Yes, I know that brother always treats me the best.”
Madam Qin smiled and said, ‘Yan ‘Er, your brother has agreed to help you. You should be relieved now.”
“Yes, yes.” Qin Yan nodded happily. But no one knew what she was really thinking inside her head.
Qin Junfeng gave Madam Qin a look. Madam Qin immediately smiled and said to Qin Yan, “Yan ‘Er, you must be tired. Why don’t you go back to your room to rest?”
Recently, Qin Yan’s mental state had been very abnormal. She had to rest more.
Perhaps because she had her brother’s support, Qin Yan seemed to be in a good mood. Once she was in a good mood, she naturally agreed to everything.
“Okay!”
After that, Qin Yan went upstairs. The Qin Family saw Qin Yan go upstairs. They assumed she had gone back to her room to rest.
Little did they know that at this moment, she was standing at the corner of the corridor on the second floor, eavesdropping.
Her temperament had changed drastically. She did not trust anyone. Therefore, how could she be so obedient and go to her room to rest?
She needed to know how her family planned to marry her to Gong Tianhao.
As soon as Qin Yan went upstairs, Madam Qin said disapprovingly, “Qin Junfeng, you know that your sister is not in her best condition right now, so why can’t you just go along with her?”
Qin Junfeng looked at his mother and said, “Mom, do you think it’s possible for sister to marry Gong Tianhao?”
Madam Qin opened her mouth, “…”
Although she had always supported her daughter in marrying Gong Tianhao, she knew very well that Gong Tianhao was not someone that they could force into a marriage. If it was really that simple, the Qin family would have forced Gong Tianhao to marry Qin Yan a long time ago. They couldn’t do that in the past, and they couldn’t do that
now.
Madam Qin sighed heavily and said after thinking for a while, “I know that’s not possible, but look at your sister’s current state. If she’s not happy, she’ll go crazy. So, can’t we just give in to her first? Husband?”
Madam Qin said this to her son and her husband.
Qin Xingbao thought for a while and nodded. “You’re right.”
Qin Junfeng didn’t agree. He said, “But mom, that means we’re just lying to her.”
Madam Qin said angrily, “How am I lying to her? I’m saying we’ll go along with her demands for now. Once she calms down, she’ll realize how ridiculous this is.”
Upstairs, Qin Yan was leaning against the white wall. Her fingers were deeply embedded in the wall as if she wanted to poke a hole in
it.
She did not hide the anger, hatred, and viciousness on her face. The expression on her face was twisted, ferocious, and terrifying. It was very frightening.
Qin Yan gritted her teeth and said, “You lied to me. You are all liars!”
Even her mother, who loved her the most, had lied to her.
Qin Yan’s last bit of hope was torn apart. All that was left for her was despair and hatred!
She hated the woman who stole Gong Tianhao. She hated Gong Tianhao, the Jiang family, and Jiang Tao. She also hated her brother and her parents.
She hated everyone!
She hated the whole world!
But she swore that she would get what she wanted!
A moment later, Qin Yan returned to her room. She made a call and asked, “Send me the address!”
Ever since Xiao Lingyu married Gong Tianhao, Xiao Lingyu had been living in the Gong family.
Even if Xiao Lingyu didn’t want to move, the Xiao Family would never agree to it. Xiao Lingyu was a married woman, so how could she live with her parents anymore? It would make the Gong Family lose face.
She had to get used to staying with her husband’s family.
Xiao Lingyu had Old Master Gong, who cherished her a lot. Her husband doted on her. So basically, she still had a lot of love.
However, the Gong Family didn’t have a mistress before Gong Tianhao married over. So she had to learn how to manage the family account.
Although the Gong Family was small, they had a huge business. Plus, now that she had married Gong Tianhao, she had to attend many social functions. Therefore, Xiao Lingyu had to adapt to Gong Tianhao’s world.
Of course, all that had to wait after she gave birth.
“Mother, I want to learn how to cook from you!” Gong Tianhao went straight to the kitchen to look for Mother Xiao.
Mother Xiao’s hands that were washing the pan paused. She said in disbelief, “Tianhao, what did you say? You want to learn how to
cook?”
Her son-in-law was the richest man in the country. He could have hired someone to cook for him. Therefore she was very surprised by his request.
Gong Tianhao said very seriously, “Mom, you know that Yu ‘Er likes your cooking very much. Now in Taoyuan Village, she can eat your cooking anytime.
“But, Yu ‘Er will come back to the capital with me one day. At that time, she won’t be able to eat your cooking anymore. Therefore, I want to learn how to cook from mother. In the future, I will cook for Yu ‘Er personally.”
Of course, Gong Tianhao could bring Mother Xiao to live in the capital with them but as the mother-in-law, going to stay for a short period was fine. But if she stayed for long, people would gossip. The Xiao Family would not let their daughter be the subject of people’s gossip. Mother Xiao was silent for a moment before saying, “Hao ‘Er, actually, you don’t have to learn it yourself. Just send someone over to learn from me.”
Gong Tianhao smiled and said, “But, mother, I want to cook for Yu ‘Er personally. Others can cook better food, but I want to prepare the dishes for Yu ‘Er myself.”
Mother Xiao was very moved as she said, “Hao ‘Er, you’re really thoughtful. My Yu ‘Er is very lucky to have married you.”
To the Xiao family, it didn’t matter whether Gong Tianhao was rich or not. What they saw was how good Gong Tianhao was to Xiao Lingyu. Xiao Lingyu would definitely be happy after she married him.
Gong Tianhao said a little embarrassedly, “No, it’s my fortune to be able to marry Yu ‘Er.”
Mother Xiao smiled and said, “Alright, since you want to learn, come and learn from me tonight.”
“Thank you, mother!” Gong Tianhao said with a smile.
“What are you thanking me for? I should be thanking you. Thank you for taking such good care of Yu ‘Er.” Mother Xiao said with a smile.
Recently, Xiao Lingyu had noticed that Gong Tianhao seemed to be a little elusive.
She could often see some black marks on his face, and she also noticed that there were small wounds on his hands from time to time.
Xiao Lingyu saw that his skin had been cut open, and blood was flowing out of his index finger, which was covered with a bandage. She narrowed her eyes and asked very seriously, “Tianhao, what have you been up to? What’s with all these wounds?”
Gong Tianhao’s eyes flashed, and he said, “Nothing much.”
Xiao Lingyu asked sternly, “Nothing much? Why are there so many wounds? And there are so many dust stains on your face. Are you learning how to cook?”
She had the same signs when she first learned how to cook.
Gong Tianhao laughed and said, “My wife is really smart.”
Xiao Lingyu took the cotton swab and tried to disinfect his wound. She asked seriously, “Seriously, why do you want to learn how to cook? Isn’t there someone at home who can cook?”
Gong Tianhao said seriously, “Because I want to cook for my wife personally!”
Xiao Lingyu’s hand that was holding the cotton swab paused.
