Chapter 526 526: A grave fall
Mother Qi was ashamed and angry when she admitted how weak her family was when compared to the Luo. She worked so hard all these years, thinking that one day she would be able to take them down. All these years, she had been planning and planning.
But now that she was hit hard, Mother Qi couldn't be more embarrassed. Her efforts were nothing in comparison to the Luo family; this was something that could be seen at a glance. Luo Yeqing, that woman was actually hiding her real strength all along.
No wonder she was not worried when she signed that contract with her family. She thought that the woman was terrified of her, but now that she was hit hard, Mother Qi realised that Luo Yeqing was neither terrified nor worried when facing her.
She had the confidence to take her down and thus didn't care about anything.
The reality was ugly, and Mother Qi was not happy to accept it.
When Qi Changpu heard her mother's words, she too was saddened by the large gap between the two families. Obviously she and Luo Huian were third-generation rich heirs, but why was there such a big difference between the two of them?
Luo Huian was not even half as skilled as her, but her mother was willing to protect her like this and her mother? Hah!
Qi Changpu raised her head and looked at Mother Qi, who looked livid and flustered. Seeing the uselessness of her mother, Qi Changpu was rather upset. It was disgusting. This show of weakness and helplessness was simply too frustrating.
Though she was annoyed, Qi Changou knew that she couldn't waste her time on useless things. She said to her family, "Alright. There is no need for you to panic all of a sudden. I will have someone arrange a meeting with Yongrui. I believe that he will help us."
The second she finished speaking, her father jumped up and immediately agreed with her. "That's right. We have raised that mer for so long; how can he leave our family in a lurch like this? He needs to help us out."
Master Qi's thought process was simple. He had brought Qi Yongrui to his family when that mer had nothing in his hands. It was all thanks to their family that Qi Yongrui became so famous and rich. Since that was the case, he needed to help the Qi family when they were in trouble.
It was as simple as that!
But what Master Qi forgot was that the reason the Qi family was still at large was not because his daughters were skilled. Instead, it was all due to Qi Yongrui, who awakened as an S-class business hunter, which allowed the Qi family to rise to the top from a mediocre rich family.
Qi Yongrui didn't owe them anything. It was they who owed him.
However, the entire Qi family only saw the grace of raising and adopting Qi Yongrui and they didn't see the efforts that he put in helping their family. In their eyes, this was something that mer was supposed to do for them.
Thus, when her father finished speaking, Qi Changpu nodded along and said to him, "You are right, Dad. Since we raised that mer, it is only right for him to take this heat off our family."
Since the Luo family treated Qi Yongrui so well, it's only natural that they would listen to him. As long as Qi Yongrui was willing to let go of this matter, the Luo family would let their family go.
And if that mer was treated so well by the Luo family, then it could only mean that he had won Luo Huian's heart. Since that was the case, it wouldn't be difficult for him to get his hands on the blood within Luo Huian's heart.
Qi Changpu's mind was working in a hyperactive mode.
All the beads in her head were working at twice the speed, and the calculations within her head were so fast that the beads were about to fall out on the floor.
Since it was decided, Qi Changpu immediately arranged for a meeting between her and Qi Yongrui. She wanted to speak with him as soon as possible. As for Wen Wan? Since his mother was no longer the proud boss of the Wen corporation, Qi Changpu demoted him to a mere bed servant from the official husband.
She simply placed the reports of corruption that the Wen family had committed and the damages brought to her family by the Wen family in the court. She was the victim in this situation, and the law strictly stipulated that the mers of fallen families were not allowed to become the official husbands.
It was only through the love and affection of their wives that these mers sat in the high-ranking position of official husbands. But if the woman herself didn't want to keep them in that position, the court could revoke their position.
The same happened to Wen Wan. He was found creating trouble for his wife due to his inexplicable jealousy, as Qi Changpu maintained that she only had a good relationship with her adopted brother, and that made this mer jealous, which further led to trouble for her and her family.
What happened between the two of them took place inside the bedroom.
There was no evidence to prove the good things that Qi Changpu had done and said to him. Thus, all the blame was pushed onto Wen Wan.
When the verdict came out, Wen Wan was so angry that he nearly fainted. Though his family was not as rich as the Luo family, they had also helped Qi Changpu and her family.
He had loved that woman so much that he didn't even listen to a thing and agreed with everything that she asked him to do. In exchange for that, what did she give him?
This? This ultimate betrayal?
If he had known that he meant this little in her heart, he would have never bothered with Qi Changpu.
Wen Wan was so regretful that his intestines were turning green with regret, but at the same time, he felt resentful towards Qi Yongrui. Though his wife was not a good person, that mer was not a good mer either. He could have stayed away from Qi Changpu, but that mer deliberately swaggered in front of her and charmed that woman.
If not for Qi Yongrui…if only that mer had not caused trouble, then everything would have been fine! Qi Changpu had fallen in love with him, and she would have protected him. But because she had Qi Yongrui in her heart, she didn't listen to what he had to say.
"Why didn't that mer die? Why didn't he lose his life in that accident? If he died, then I wouldn't be—I wouldn't be reduced to such a lowly position," Wen Wan sobbed angrily in the hospital ward. He was brought to the hospital after he fainted in anger, and when he woke up, only his dowry servant was by his side. No one came to see him, even when he was lying in the hospital.
And this was all Qi Yongrui's fault!
The more Wen Wan thought about it, the angrier he became.
When the servant heard his angry words, he sighed. He knew that his master was not reconciled with what happened, but the things had escalated to this point already; what was the point of getting angry now?
He said to Wen Wan, "Master Wen, forget about Madam for the time being. You need to work hard and think of recuperating your body."
"I am like this; what's the point of recuperating my body?" Wen Wan questioned angrily. His entire life had been ruined by that woman and mer. If they had not done such a terrible thing and had an affair under his nose despite being siblings, would he be so angry?
He could accept any other mer, but he could never accept Qi Yongrui. How could he!? That mer was the adoptive brother of his wife. The adoptive brother was similar to a brother in Wen Wan's eyes. After all, the two of them grew up together.
If his wife were to take in her adoptive brother as her concubine, where would he put his face?
Was he the one at fault for taking such a step? No!
"Master." Realising that Wen Wan's condition was getting worse, the servant said in a low voice, "You don't need to give up so soon. You are forgetting something. As long as you can get pregnant with a fat baby girl, you can get your title back. After all, the first daughter of Madam would need a status, wouldn't she?"
"You should think about getting better and then getting pregnant. As long as you are with a child, even the Madam will have to bow her head in front of you."
"What can a little cripple do to you then? With such an injury, do you think Qi Yongrui can even get it up?"
What do you think?
