Chapter 152: Holding One’s Head High

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Madam Qin understood that Shen Qingyue couldn’t possibly use such a fragile lie to deceive her. She was angry about Wei Jiu’er’s lies. Her agreement to Wei Jiu’er’s marriage to Qin Zhen was not because Wei Jiu’er had saved Qin Zhen, but because she thought of Wei Jiu’er as a blood bank. In case Qin Zhen got into trouble again, at least they would have a mobile blood reserve. But the result…

Shen Qingyue stood up and said, “Madam Qin, you think you’re very clever, but in reality, haven’t you been manipulated by others many times? What is this? Being too clever for your own good? I have no interest in the grudges and conflicts within your family. I hope you won’t come to me again in the future. Next time, the security downstairs will throw you out directly. Don’t say I don’t respect the elderly and care for the young. Goodbye.” With that, she left, her high heels clicking.

Madam Qin stood alone in the reception room, on the verge of exploding in anger.

Wei Jiu’er had been staying at the Zhao family recently. Since Qin Zhen announced the news of their wedding, Zhao Manman and Zhao Guoping had stopped their previous domineering behavior towards her. Especially Zhao Guoping, he spoke to her very cautiously. He even bought a bunch of supplements for her to pass on to Qin Zhen, as a token of his goodwill.

Wei Jiu’er naturally accepted with a smile, looking pleased with herself.

Zhao Manman was jealous to the point of grinding her teeth. “It’s just an

announcement of marriage, why are you so pleased with yourself? Be careful it’s all for nothing! Without Qin Zhen, you’re still an illegitimate child who can’t show her face, only fit to serve tea and pour water for me! Someone like you, in a big family like ours in the past, wouldn’t even have the qualification to stand by my side.”

The smile on Wei Jiu’er’s face froze for a moment, and then she said, “Sister, are you jealous now? Because I have something better than you? Between sisters, we shouldn’t be like this…”

Zhao Manman retorted, “Just like your lowly mother, using her womb to catch a rich husband. What do I have to be jealous of…”

Slap!

Wei Jiu’er raised her hand and gave Zhao Manman a slap, sneering, “I am the future Lady of the Qin family. Do you need me to remind you of the Qin family’s status? Watch your mouth when you speak to me!”

Zhao Manman covered her face and said, “You, you fatherless b*stard, dare to hit me?”

Smack!

Another slap landed. Wei Jiu’er’s eyes were fierce; she despised it when people said she had no father. Now that she had Qin Zhen as her backer, she did not need to pretend anymore. “Let me tell you, I’m an illegitimate child, so what? Sooner or later, your Zhao family will be mine. You, the legitimate daughter, won’t even be qualified to carry my shoes!”

Zhao Manman went crazy, “The Zhao family is mine! You, you little b*stard, what qualifications do you have…”

Wei Jiu’er took a step back and immediately shouted, “Daddy! Sister wants to hit me!”

Zhao Guoping quickly arrived and scolded, “Manman! What are you doing? Apologize immediately!”

Zhao Manman was unwilling, “Dad! This wench is bullying me! Do you really think someone like her can help us in the future?”

Zhao Guoping remained unfazed, “I told you to apologize! Otherwise, don’t blame me for disowning you!”

With her lower lip firmly bitten, Zhao Manman, under her father’s threat, reluctantly muttered, “I’m sorry.”

She then immediately ran off.

Zhao Guoping put on a smile, “Jiu’er, your sister didn’t mean it. She’s just outspoken, a bit thoughtless. Don’t be angry.”

Wei Jiu’er fake-smiled, “How could I be? I’ve been living here since I was little; we’re all one family.”

With that, Zhao Guoping went to chase after Zhao Manman.

Watching their father and daughter leave, Wei Jiu’er smugly closed the door. She had been suppressed by Zhao Manman for so many years, but today, she had finally turned the tables! She could already imagine how triumphant she would feel when she married into the Qin family. After all these years of plotting, she had finally succeeded. However, her joy was short-lived as she received a call from Madam Qin.

Wei Jiu’er picked up the call after dressing up a bit, changing into a simple and elegant outfit before heading out. Lately, that old woman had been treating her well, and she was willing to show a bit of respect.

The Qin Residence.

Madam Qin was sitting on the living room sofa. Wei Jiu’er approached with a polite smile, “Mom, I…”

Madam Qin’s gaze was unkind, “Who is your mom?”

“I was too presumptuous. I haven’t married Zhen yet, so I spoke out of turn.” Wei Jiu’er continued to smile, but she was silently cursing Madam Qin in her heart. She muttered, “Aunt.”

But even so, Madam Qin’s disgust was evident. If Wei Jiu’er still could not understand, she would be truly foolish. Wei Jiu’er said, “Auntie, I’m not sure what I did wrong to make you angry..”
