Chapter 690: 697 If This Isn’t Love_1

After receiving the call, Qi Zhenzhen rushed back to the hospital immediately, where she found a tearful and helpless Su Yueze.

"I’ve never threatened anyone. Why would someone be so scared of me that they nearly died? I don’t want to be a murderer!"

Qi Zhenzhen cried bitterly. Her pain lay not just in possibly hurting others, but also in hurting herself.

Seeing her sorrow and guilt, Su Yueze felt compelled to divulge the truth. "You’re lucky. She was treated in time and she didn’t die."

Qi Zhenzhen glared at him angrily, picking up her purse and swinging it at his head. "You’re terrible, Su Yueze! You scared me! You enjoy seeing me cry, don’t you? Does my misery excite you?"

Princess Qi swung her purse with such force that her lipstick and perfume fell to the floor.

Shielding his cheek with his hand, Su Yueze cared very much for his face and continuously tried to protect his face from being hit. "Enough, enough, enough. You’ve done enough damage!"

Qi Zhenzhen, after releasing her emotions, finally relented. "Su Yueze, why did you trick me?"

"Her condition was indeed dire. She was almost dead," Su Yueze said earnestly, without joking.

Qi Zhenzhen was scared again. "Do her family members know about this? If they do, will they retaliate against me?"

"They know," Su Yueze nodded.

"Oh..." Qi Zhenzhen felt extremely guilty. "Should I go apologize to them, what do you think?"

"An apology would be appropriate. But how would you apologize? Just say, ’I’m sorry, I almost poisoned your wife and mother to death?’", Su Yueze retorted.

"I can compensate them!" Qi Zhenzhen said in desperation.

Su Yueze chuckled. "In today’s Z country, who’s richer than their family? When Qin Muchuan needed capital for a domestic project, he got a lot of money ..."

"Oh..." Qi Zhenzhen forced a bitter smile. "So, they don’t need my money!"

"Indeed, they don’t!" Su Yueze nodded.

Qi Zhenzhen smiled. "So, I should go home and ask my dad about the G project and try to persuade the Qin family to proceed with it?"

"Ha, that would be best. On behalf of Wanwan, I thank you in advance!" Su Yueze said, smiling.

Qi Zhenzhen pouted. "Why do you always thank me on her behalf? What’s your relationship with her? Are you sleeping together?"

Su Yueze nervously dismissed the idea. "No, no, no ... you can’t just say things like that. That’s a beheading offense!"

"Wow, is it really that serious?"

"You don’t understand how much Lin Xiangwan’s husband cares about her ..."

Qi Zhenzhen pressed. "So, have you two had sex or not?"

"Of course not!" Su Yueze rolled his eyes. "Why do people always picture things like that? She’s the spouse of my best friend. Even rabbits don’t eat the grass by their burrow!"

"I see you’re actually principled!"

"Hehe..."

Qi Zhenzhen raised her chin in defiance. "In that case, you don’t need to thank me for doing anything for her. After all, it has nothing to do with you!"

In his heart, Su Yueze thought: why is this woman, Qi Zhenzhen, fussing so much? I never intended to thank you. You took my politeness too seriously.

Qin Muchuan made a call to Aunt Liu, asking her to prepare some food and send it to the hospital to look after Wanwan.

Somehow, this news reached Xu Feng’e who blabbed it to Grandma. Grandma then persistently asked Aunt Liu what exactly happened to Wanwan.

Aunt Liu refused to reveal the details, only vaguely stating that Wanwan was ill.

As luck would have it, Zhou Ziqing came home at this moment and laughingly shared the news with everyone. "Miss Lin truly is the daughter-in-law of the Qin Family. Her luck is exceptional indeed. Whatever ailment made her go to the hospital and be put on IV drips, yet she snuck out and drank alcohol. Due to an allergic reaction, she was hanging by a thread, almost losing her life. The doctors even said that this lady has a strong life force, otherwise, she would surely be gone!"

Upon hearing this, the entire family was taken aback.

The two children were especially inconsolable, crying and demanding to see their mother...

"Mommy is about to die, I want to see mommy!" Ranran cried, losing his composure.

Tongtong rebuked his little brother. "You mustn’t cry like this and misjudge things. Mommy is not about to die. She’s still alive. But we must go see Mommy..."

However, Granny Qin forbade them from doing so and ordered the housemaids to watch over the children. She then tried to comfort them. "Your mother is okay. Didn’t they say that she was saved? You children, you can’t always go to places like the hospital, they are full of negative energy."

Upon hearing these words, the children became terrified once more. A place with a strong ’negative energy’ implied the presence of ghosts. They were scared of ghosts –– especially now that it was nighttime.

Xu Feng’e couldn’t stop herself from sighing. "Ai... What’s wrong with Chuanchuan’s wife? Her husband is in crisis and yet, she still has the mood to drink alcohol? This... It’s... inexcusable, right?"

Great grandpa Qin was so angry that he kept panting and huffing. "This kind of woman should be allowed to leave. She’s not good for my grandson..."

The children vigorously shook their heads in protest. "Our mommy is a good mommy..."

"Why won’t you accept my mother, all the time?! Now it’s Dad who has another woman, hurting mom’s heart. Why are you only criticizing mom?" Tongtong angrily questioned his great-grandfather!

Great grandpa replied, looking at him with a heavy heart. "I don’t want you two to be motherless either. But tell me, was your mother’s actions correct today? You two know your father is in crisis, you are presumably afraid that your father will be worried and aggravated. You even sing for him to make him happy. Can you think back on what your mother has done today, hmm?"

Tongtong and Ranran looked at each other, and certainly knew that mother drinking at such a time was definitely wrong.

Tongtong stammered for a while before saying, "Maybe there’s something behind this that we don’t know about. I believe that Mom loves Dad, at least more than Auntie Zhou does!"

At this point, Grandma Qin also became puzzled, uncertain about who to support.

If Wanwan has already moved on mentally, then keeping her with my grandson would also do him no good, right?

Zhou Ziqing’s eyes were filled with tears, as if she had been greatly wronged. "You’re saying that I don’t have their father in my heart, that I don’t treat their father as well as their mother? Who has been tirelessly working to support their father then? Look at my feet..."

She took off her shoes revealing her feet, which had blisters from friction. It was indeed a pitiful sight.

Xu Feng’e added, "Look at this... If this isn’t considered as expressing love for Chuanchuan, then what would be considered as love?"
