Chapter 551: Draw the Line

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qi Minlan could not take it lying down. Did Brother Zhai intend to draw the line with her?

“Abandoned? Qi Minlan, this is a serious statement.” There was a disconsolate look on Zhai Yaohui’s face. The simple and pure young lady back then was gone with the pa.s.sage of time, and in replace was a worldly and coa.r.s.e woman who was only concerned with fame and money. “If I remember correctly, at the very least, before I married Miao Miao, you always introduced me to others as your brother, am I right?”

Back then, Zhai Yaohui and Qi Minlan did not have a long relations.h.i.+p. Their families knew that they were dating, but to outsiders, especially whenever Zhai Yaohui fetched Qi Minlan, she would introduce Zhai Yaohui as her brother to her cla.s.smates at school and to her friends.

“I have already explained it. At that time, I was still studying, and I was too embarra.s.sed to go public.” Qi Minlan blushed. She refused to admit it.

“It was when you just graduated. Are you sure it was because you were shy? In the past, I never questioned you, but it doesn’t mean that I felt nothing at all. You always feel that it is Miao Miao who s.n.a.t.c.hed everything from you, but the truth is because of Miao Miao, I am able to see the truth.” Zhai Yaohui looked at Qi Minlan coldly. “I have no wish to say those unpleasant words, but if you want to listen, I don’t mind saying them. It’s been so many years. It is enough.”

He never felt that he should be apologetic toward Qi Minlan for marrying Miao Miao.

All these years, he had been taking care of the Qiu family, and he had allowed Qiu Chenxi to be with his son. He did not do this simply to compensate Qi Minlan.

With regards to this matter, even though Qi Minlan never acknowledged their relations.h.i.+p in front of outsiders, but deep down inside, he knew that this was a fact. The only reason that he had to compensate for Qi Minlan was that he was the one who initiated the breakup.

That was all.

s.h.i.+ Peng was part of the reason why he took care of the Qiu family and treated Qi Minlan well.

“Brother Zhai, do you doubt my feelings for you? How can you say such irresponsible words in order to s.h.i.+rk responsibility and not to help Chenxi? If I was not serious about you, why would I go crazy and insist that my family disrupted the marriage when I knew that you were going to marry Miao Jing?” There was a flicker of guilt in Qi Minlan’s eyes. She shouted at the top of her voice, “Brother Zhai, even if you really don’t want to help, you shouldn’t say this to upset me or slander me. It’s okay if you won’t help. She is my daughter and has lots of suitors. Brother Zhai, I am so disappointed with you today. I didn’t expect that you would be so irresponsible. Back then, I was young and ignorant. I have made the wrong judgment. I shouldn’t have given my heart to you! Since you have said so today, I will no longer have any relations.h.i.+p with you in the future. If I b.u.mp into you or the people from the Zhai family, I will take a detour. Brother Zhai, I am bitterly disappointed in you!”

Qi Minlan turned and stood up, walking in small steps toward the door.

Zhai Yaohui pursed his lips. Qi Minlan would not take big strides but she was definitely not like those daughters from the respected families who would take small, lady-like steps.

The more Qi Minlan behaved in this manner, the more determined Zhai Yaohui was. “It’s good this way. Back then, I was the one who initiated the breakup. This time, you are the one who decided to break off all relations. In this way, we no longer owe each other anything.”

Since both of them had decided to sever ties, regarding Qiu Chenxi leaving the army, Zhai Yaohui would never intercede for her.

At the same time, unless Qiu Chenxi was able to gain Zhai Sheng’s affection, Zhai Yaohui would no longer do anything to create an opportunity for her and disregard his son’s feelings.
