CHAPTER 781: CHAPTER 766 REJECTION

Mother Qin watched the girl leave.

She sat by the edge of the kang with a sullen face.

"You child! Don’t tell me bringing people over doesn’t mean something to you! You’re not young anymore, already over forty. Miss Cui’e is a maiden, don’t mind her age.

Moreover, she can take care of her younger siblings at home and will surely take good care of you. She is educated and beautiful, a perfect match for you. I just hope you get married soon, build a family, and have someone care for you.

Of course, having a son early would be for your own good,"

Mother Qin felt her good intentions were wasted.

"Mom, since you’ve laid it all out, I’ll be honest with you. I’ll be honest with you. Even if I want to marry, I want to persuade my wife to return. If I can’t remarry her, I’ll spend the rest of my life with my two daughters."

Qin Dazhuang made his point clear.

Mother Qin was furious.

"Why are you as stubborn as ever? What’s good about that wife of yours? Dull and always sullen-faced. Moreover, she can’t bear a son. You should seize this chance to marry another wife and have a son. What are you scheming for?"

Mother Qin never liked Jiang Xin; if it weren’t for her son being so adamant about marrying Jiang Xin, she wouldn’t have allowed it.

At that time, the requirements were so harsh that Jiang Xin had to replace her mother’s job early for the son’s benefit.

Even though he was adopted, not her biological son.

Still, she once wholeheartedly cared for him, considering everything for the child’s benefit.

Qin Dazhuang laughed, "Mom, since you know I’m stubborn, don’t get mad. In this life, I only want Jiang Xin; I don’t want anyone else. Stay here, it’s fine. Since Miss Li is here, let her enjoy touring the Capital City. I’ll buy her a ticket to send her back.

But let’s drop the rest. I’m genuinely not interested."

Mother Qin turned her face away in anger.

Her son is now wealthy and powerful. She can’t easily fight with him as she used to.

Moreover, Qin Dazhuang is a grown man; after he once pushed her, Mother Qin realized her son could be ruthless if he wanted.

So she became more cautious.

Qin Dazhuang got up to arrange for their meals and drinks.

As he stepped out, he saw Li Cui’e standing at the door, obviously having heard the conversation. Her face was flushed with color.

"Brother Qin, do you find me so unappealing?"

Qin Dazhuang was surprised by her straightforwardness, addressing him directly.

"Miss Li, I don’t want to hide anything from you. Although I’m divorced, I haven’t let go of my ex-wife and the children in my heart entirely. So I am contemplating how to remarry her, though she disagrees.

Back then, with the gambling and violence toward her, I broke her heart. It’s no surprise she won’t forgive me. But as long as she agrees, I’ll remarry her immediately. I can only make space in my heart for one person, no one else.

Don’t waste your time on me. You are a fine young woman, good-hearted, competent, and beautiful. Surely you will meet a better man."

Qin Dazhuang didn’t want any misunderstandings.

Li Cui’e couldn’t help but admire Qin Dazhuang.

At her age, remaining unmarried left her at a disadvantage in the marriage market, subject to selection rather than choosing.

When she was introduced to come here, she truly didn’t expect to meet a decent person.

Especially since he’s divorced.

But upon meeting Qin Dazhuang, she realized he’s a true-to-heart person and genuinely admired him.

This man is honestly trying to reconcile with his ex-wife and kids.

Such a good man, and she didn’t meet him sooner.

However, upon hearing his divorces were due to domestic violence and gambling,

Li Cui’e withdrew her intention.

When a man resorts to violence and gambling, who knows when it will happen again?

Despite his charming words now, what happens if he starts hitting again? There won’t be anywhere left to cry. It’s a relief he doesn’t fancy me; perhaps it’s for my own good.

"Then I wish you, Brother Qin, reunite with your wife and children soon."

Her blessing was genuine.

Qin Dazhuang nodded; indeed, she seemed like a good person.

Without trying to rush into marriage just because I have good conditions.

The next day, Li Cui’e left.

Mother Qin had no choice but to stay here. Mainly because staying at her son-in-law’s was unfeasible.

The in-laws moved in seeing her stay at their daughter’s place, claiming to help take care of the grandchildren.

Now, with three seniors living there, it’s chaos.

Her daughter and son-in-law are busy at the hospital with their child, leaving no time for home. She couldn’t argue with her in-laws daily.

Thus, she figured she’d move back to her son’s place.

Qin Dazhuang felt at peace after sending off Li Xiu’e, then drove to Jiang Xin’s tailor shop.

Jiang Xin’s shop was now prominent, not only making clothes for others but also selling their designs.

Jiang Xin saw his car stop outside and walked out.

"Why are you here now? It’s Saturday. You missed picking up the kids yesterday; they’re fishing with my dad now."

"They’re fishing with Dad, no problem. I came late because my mom returned. I wanted to see them briefly. It’s okay if I didn’t, seeing you matters; hearing they’re well puts my mind at ease."

Qin Dazhuang greedily gazed at his wife. If it weren’t for his out-of-control violence and gambling, how could this wife become estranged?

Jiang Xin softened under Qin Dazhuang’s gaze.

She knew his feelings for her, but she couldn’t reciprocate them.

During quiet nights, recalling Qin Dazhuang’s grim face when he raised his fist at her, Jiang Xin couldn’t soften her heart.

Yet, seeing his kindness to the children and herself,

She felt a pang of guilt.

What was this situation between them?

Dragging each other down.

"Qin Dazhuang, I know you’re good to me and the kids, but you should find someone and settle down. Being alone is not sustainable, between us, there’s no future."

Jiang Xin spoke decisively.
