Qin Shuanglu was actually unwilling to accept only one hundred yuan, but she knew that Qin Baishi wouldn’t give her a single penny more. Afraid of getting nothing if she continued to argue, she wiped away her tears, knowing when to stop.
“Fine, since you insist on forcing me, Mom, I must take responsibility for my next life. I can’t live with my family forever. I choose Dong Qiang.”
These words severed all blood ties with the Qin family.
“Wait a minute.” Yun Zheng raised her eyebrows, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes half-closed. “Words are meaningless; a written agreement is fairer. Once Auntie takes this money, she will sever all ties with the Qin family. After the family business is established, she will not be allowed to return to the Qin family for even a needle or thread under any pretext.”
A sneer appeared on Qin Shuanglu’s lips. She didn’t believe Yun Zheng’s claim that the business would be profitable; she was convinced it would lose everything. She was eager for a written agreement so that if the Qin family fell on hard times, they wouldn’t be able to ask her for help.
From now on, she wouldn’t need to provide Qin Baishi with retirement funds anymore, so why not?
Thus, the agreement was drawn up, with Qin Baishi and Qin Shuanglu each affixing their fingerprints.
Qin Shuanglu, upon receiving the agreement, thought she was about to live a happy life.
Little did she know that her tragedy was already sealed from that moment. When she looked back on this day in the future, she would wish she could travel back in time and slap herself to death.
But there’s no such thing as knowing beforehand; the path one chooses, one must walk it, even if it means crying.
“Wait a minute, what about Lang’er? Are you planning to take him with you?” Qin Baishi asked.
Qin Shuanglu glanced at the silent Qin Lang and said without changing her expression,
“Mom, since you can accept Qin Yunzheng as your granddaughter being raised in the Qin family, Qin Lang is also your grandson. Raising another one shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
Qin Baishi narrowed her triangular eyes and sneered, “Now that you have a man, you don’t even want to raise your son anymore.”
Truly an ungrateful wretch, cold-blooded to the core!
“I’m already married. Dong Qiang doesn’t have a son, so I’ll definitely have another one for him later. Taking Qin Lang with me will upset Dong Qiang’s family.”
Qin Baishi didn’t want to hear these heartless words. She looked at Qin Lang seriously. “Lang-ge’er, you tell me, do you want to go with your mother or with Grandma?”
“I’ll stay with Grandma.” Qin Lang had never intended to go with Qin Shuanglu from the beginning. He didn’t have a deep affection for this mother. Even if Qin Baishi didn’t want him, and he starved to death outside, he wouldn’t go with Qin Shuanglu.
The matter was settled. Qin Shuanglu got what she wanted and immediately packed her bags, taking everything that belonged to her in the house, including Qin Lang’s bedding.
By the time Qin Baishi discovered this, Qin Shuanglu had already disappeared. Qin Baishi was furious. Qin Lang was truly unlucky to have such a mother.
“Grandma, don’t be angry. Anyway, she only took old cotton wadding. We have money now, everyone will get new cotton tomorrow.”
Qin Baishi looked at her granddaughter comforting her, feeling incredibly warm-hearted. She then completely forgot about Qin Shuanglu’s heartless moment.
Qin Yang also asked enthusiastically, “By the way, Fifth Sister, what kind of business are you planning to do? Like my old classmate, going into business reselling goods?”
Yun Zheng shook her head. “That kind of money-making method isn’t sustainable. Everyone can do it; it’s nothing new. If we’re going to do it, we should do something that others can’t follow, something that will last. So I plan to make and sell flower tea!”
