Chapter 175 – First Class Scum
Gan Song Bai evidently caught into the strange points in her words and asked a few more questions to get more details. Finally, Jing Yun Zhao understood that Xiang Jin’s life could be described using the phrase ‘appalling devastation’!
The name of Xiang Jin’s husband was Qin Zhi Xue. He was her classmate in college before they progressed towards dating and afterwards, marriage.
However, back then, Qin Zhi Xue’s family’s financial status wasn’t good, while the Jin Family used to manage a somewhat successful business. Xiang Jin was his father’s only daughter, so he doted on her a lot and thus, the money needed for the wedding was all taken care of by the Jin Family.
Not long after the two became newlyweds, Xiang Jin’s father suffered from a serious illness and was bedridden. Xiang Jin inherited the company as the director and could be said to be quite competent.
However, things were the exact opposite for Qin Zhi Xue. No matter what he did at his job, he was unsuccessful. Others would mock him and say he couldn’t even compare to a woman, and there would even be some people who directly asked why he still wanted to go out to look for a job with an identity like his? He could peacefully stay at home and become Xiang Jin’s kept man, assist the wife, and educate the child.
Because of this, Qin Zhi Xue was enraged. Every single day, he wouldn’t go home without being drunk.
And precisely when Father Xiang passed away, the company was also in a mess. Xiang Jin thought that since husband and wife should be one, and she also couldn’t bear losing her husband after losing her father, so she hired her husband with a high salary to take the place as one of the key figures of the company.
Qin Zhi Xue’s exhibited his abilities in the company and became even more outstanding, and the feelings between husband and wife also progressed for the better.
However, to Qin Zhi Xue, his Perfect Life had just one shortcoming. No matter how hard he worked or how outstanding his results were, others would still think that he was benefiting from being under Xiang Jin’s light. (T/N: I just wanna say, men with insecurity issues from their wife after marriage, don’t expect the wife to have to conform to you and comfort you too much. By then you’re just making use of her suffering to push yourself up)
There were times where he felt depressed because of this, especially because down in his heart, he was clear that if it weren’t for his wife, he wouldn’t have had this job. After this feeling went on for two more years, Qin Zhi Xue started wishing for Xiang Jin to stay at home and raise their children at ease. (E/N: does your weewee is so small that you need that to feel better? I feel sorry for his wife. I think that besides a low self-esteem that he cannot pick up there are other things that he cannot pick up.)
Not long after, she really did get pregnant. To take care of her, Qin Zhi Xue requested for his mother to be brought over to stay with them. From then on, the period of pain and suffering began.
Back then, Old Madam Qin’s treatment to Xiang Jin was still okay, but after her son’s job continuously improved, she started thinking that Xiang Jin was an obstacle in her son’s future. During Xiang Jin’s pregnancy, the old lady would behave like an eccentric. Every time this happened, Qin Zhi Xue would softly pacify Xiang Jin, letting her immerse herself in his promises of sweet nothings.
Under Qin Zhi Xue’s manipulations, Xiang Jin gradually transferred all the projects to him. Within a few months, the whole company’s ownership completely changed hands.
At that time, she thought that since they were husband and wife, it didn’t matter who the owner was.
But this kind of thinking only lasted for a short while before it was struck down and completely collapsed.
Without her there, the company became the nesting ground for the Qin family. The old madam complained about her freeloading every day and the stress she underwent during her pregnancy was very large. Afterwards, her husband became unconcerned and showed no interest in her, causing her to be absent-minded when she went down the stairs. She accidentally lost her footing, and at the same time her child.
Qin Zhi Xue treated her even more coldly after that. Old Madam Qi was even more direct and said she wasn’t used to life in Ning City and wanted to move to Hua Ning County even if she had to die for it. She was also extremely insistent on wanting her daughter-in-law to accompany her there to serve her. Xiang Jin was naturally unwilling, but Qin Zhi Xue heartlessly used her mother to threaten her.
When Father Xiang passed, Xiang Jin’s mother was stimulated a little. She couldn’t recognise anyone anymore and spoke crazily, so she’d been staying at the hospital for treatment ever since. Now, Qin Zhi Xue blatantly said that he wouldn’t care about Mother Xiang if she didn’t listen to him.
Xiang Jin was left with no choice and had to suffer under Qin Zhi Xue’s torment.
She wanted to go to court, after all the company was originally hers, but she had been the one to personally sign those papers back then. Adding on to that was the fact that the Xiang family’s company’s money was slowly transferred out and Qin Zhi Xue had used this money to do other businesses. Now, the company was different, everything else remained the same but the people had completely changed.
After Jing Yun Zhao heard the whole story, she sighed a little in her heart.
This Xiang Jin was too foolish, but the predator had indeed hidden well. Hearing her summary of events, Qin Zhi Xue’s treatments towards her was indeed quite good. It’s really too difficult to want to defend against this kind of people.
