Chapter 1437: Chapter 1430: The Storm is Coming (4)

"So what?"

Qin Zhizhi’s simple three words suddenly stumped Cai Yiren.

Right, so what? She had uncovered his affair, and he didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding it; instead, his blunt question about what she wanted to do left her at a loss.

What could she do? Make a scene? Make it so big that both families knew, inviting relatives to pass judgment? Not to mention Bai Changyou wouldn’t come forward; the Qin Family was divided into three branches, the eldest and the second branches wouldn’t utter a word, they would instead relish her misfortune. After all, she had climbed up the social ladder by stepping over the first and second branches when she got married. And the third branch, Qin Weijia favored his son, Qin Zhimei never paid her any mind. In these matters, they wouldn’t help her, they might even blame her for not being able to keep her son’s heart, which led him to fool around outside.

She was acutely aware that she had no leverage to confront Qin Zhizhi, even marrying into the Qin Family was aiming high for her. If she were the biological daughter of Bai Changyou, maybe he would have helped her. But she wasn’t. Even if her mother and uncle might stand by her side, what good would it do?

Moreover, the Bai Family was currently facing a crisis, making it even less likely to have a falling out with the third branch. If things escalated to separation or divorce, perhaps the first to get angry and violent would be Bai Changyou himself!

Why couldn’t she be Bai Changyou’s biological daughter? If she pushed things too far, a pawn would become an expendable one!

She could see Qin Zhizhi’s impatience and dissatisfaction, she knew the husband she chose, the fate she picked, she had to bear it all.

Biting her teeth, she had to swallow even the deepest grievances, immediately she put on a different face, and said sadly, "Zhizhi, I feel a bit upset. I really like you, we’re already married, I... I understand that I’m still recovering from the miscarriage and can’t take care of you. But I care a lot about you, and that’s why I worry so much. Even if you need to... conduct business, it inevitably involves some entanglements. But I truly like you."

Pretending to be weak had always worked well for her. Even now, Qin Zhizhi wasn’t a brutal man; initially frustrated with her questioning, his heart softened as her tone did, and he saw no need to confront her.

However, Cai Yiren, weakened from the miscarriage, had a sallow complexion and withered hair, and her appearance was even worse after a sleepless night. She was not a natural beauty like Lu Weixi; with her pallor, her modest looks had plummeted from a six to a three.

Men are so pragmatic; a beautiful woman with tears could stir their compassion, but they’d despise a shrew from the bottom of their hearts. Nonetheless, Cai Yiren had managed to marry into the family, and with the third branch still tied to the Bai Family, he had no significant dissatisfaction with her, so he consoled her with a "Take good care of yourself."

Then he got ready, changed his clothes, and went down to eat breakfast and left, just like any other day.

Cai Yiren followed behind, sensing the change in Qin Zhizhi and felt even more resentful inside. She had planned to go for a medical checkup today and hadn’t eaten yet, so she tidied up a bit and went to the hospital. All the way there, she kept thinking about the woman who had called Qin Zhizhi; the voice seemed familiar, like she had heard it somewhere before, or knew her.

But no matter how hard she thought, she just couldn’t figure out who that person was.
