It was rare for Wei Mingyan not to have a social gathering today. The driver took a long vacation at home, and he drove back by himself. He parked his car outside the Qi’s home and took out the key to open the door.
Qi Jingye could have been at leisure after his promotion, but his character was not the kind that allowed such behavior. In addition, his daughter was doing very well at school now, so he only needed to pick up and drop her off. When he has nothing to do, he takes his wife to travel outside every day.
Qi Jingshu had gotten a job. Wei Mingyan mentioned that he wanted her to work in his own company but she refused.
Since the time she personally resisted Cao Jing, Qi Jingshu seemed to have untied the heavy shackles on her body, and became much more self confident. Even without the protection of her Older Brother, Sister-in-law and her boyfriend, she could face many things on her own.
All this was impossible for the former Qi Jingshu, but it just so happened to be like this. She found a job in a different company. Although the company was not as big as the Cao Group, it was also a well-known enterprise. The seniors in her department were also very friendly to her. She diligently absorbed work knowledge, hoping that even if she couldn’t stand at the same heights as her boyfriend, she wouldn’t be too far away from him.
Of course, Qi Jingshu won’t know that the company she ‘found by herself’ was actually from Wei Mingyan secretly opening a back door for her.
However, Qi Jingshu’s professional ability proved that she could still have entered by her own ability, without him dealing through back door tabletalks.
Thus, the elder brother and sister-in-law of the Qi family went out to the field every day. Jiayu, the little niece, attended classes at school, and Qi Jingshu now started going to work. Hence, this family was rarely available at home.
Taking note of the time, Wei Mingyan figured that Qi Jingshu would be back in about half an hour. He rolled up his sleeves and decided to cook a meal.
He was so busy recently that he practically made the Qi’s house his own home. Even nowadays, when he wasn’t too busy, he didn’t plan to leave anyways. Regardless, the Qi’s family were glad to have him around. Qi Jingye even gave him a key so that he could come home when no one was watching the house.
The man wore classy casual clothes, showing a clean white arm as he hummed a song and cut vegetables in a very good mood.
He only knew how to make shredded potatoes though, so it’s a good thing the Qi’s didn’t mind.
As Mingyan was cutting vegetables in the house, Qi Jingshu was walking home with her small bag.
Her Brother and Sister-in-law were very busy these days, so after work, when her colleagues asked her out for dinner, she didn’t go, and planned to come home to cook for Mingyan. However, as soon as she arrived home, she saw the luxury car parked next to the door.
Is Mingyan back?
How come he was so early today? The corners of her mouth raised happily, and she was about to take out the key to open the door when she heard an ugly hoarse voice behind her, “Look, I told you, she is someone who favors the rich and disdains the poor. Last time, her boyfriend was a teacher that came to their home, I really saw it.”
(TNote: [嫌贫爱富] xián pín ài fù = to favor the rich and disdain the poor/ snobbish.)
Qi Jingshu frowned and turned to look at Old Lady Jin, who was sitting at the door of her neighbor’s and shaking her fan, showing her disdainful face.
“Look, you didn’t believe me when I told you, but you must believe me now. When we came to enjoy the cool air, this car wasn’t here.”
Old Lady Jin obviously took Qi Jingshu’s neighbor as a tool, not caring at all about the embarrassed look on the person’s face as she continued to watch Qi Jingshu, taunting and talking. “Last time, that teacher boyfriend of yours was willing to go to court with my son for you, right? Was he used and thrown away? Eh, I wonder if he’ll thank me for reminding him in the first place if we ever meet again?”
“I was right in the first place, you are a flirtatious woman who seduced my son from the start, and then refused to agree to marriage…”
Seeing that she was still getting more and more worked up, Qi Jingshu lowered her face coldly, a smirk tugging at her lips. “Old Lady Jin, I advise you to be prudent in your words. When I was less than 18 years old, how old was your son? Even if I were to look at a roadside beggar, I’m sure I wouldn’t look at your jobless boy who relied on his own mother to support him.”
Her voice was crisp, and the speed of words were a little fast because of excitement. Similar to a constant pouring of marbles, crackling so much that nobody had a chance to interrupt.
Old Lady Jin was really shocked.
The other day, she was frightened by Wei Mingyan’s words, and later she was scared by Sister-in-law Qi. She didn’t dare to show up around the Qi family for a long time.
But this time, it was different. She saw the luxury car with her own eyes. Her son watched the news every day, and knew luxury cars best.
Her son told her personally that if this car was sold, it would be worth a lot of money.
Although she couldn’t say anything when she saw Wei Mingyan, she remembered Wei Mingyan saying that he was a teacher.
In the end, although a teacher’s salary of 8,000 a month was enough to leave a very strong impression in her heart, as she looked at the car again, even if it was just 10,000 yuan a month, a teacher wouldn’t be able to afford it.
In addition, she hasn’t seen Wei Mingyan at all during this time, which confirmed the fact that Qi Jingshu favored the rich and hated the poor, and dumped Wei Mingyan for a wealthier man.
For others, even if they didn’t get along with the Qi family, upon seeing this luxury car, they would be a little more careful. However, Old Lady Jin’s scruples were just scruples, her mind was still useless when it came to the proper path.
She didn’t believe that the owner of this car would really marry Qi Jingshu. As her son said, all rich people had one woman on the surface and several at the back. Qi Jingshu, who she had watched growing up, was of no use at all apart from her good looks.
(TNote: One on the surface and several at the back = One wife, several mistresses.)
So what if you graduated from a prestigious university? Your family is so poor, why would the rich even bother with them?
She always hated the fact that the Qi family had refused her son’s marriage proposal, causing her to be the talk of town. Now, her son was in his thirties yet still an old bachelor. Although it was a fact that her son was ugly, had no skills to speak of, jobless, and lives off the family’s money, Old Lady Jin still put the blame on Qi Jingshu for his failure to find a girlfriend.
How was it possible for her to admit that he couldn’t marry because her son was rotten!
Her son was having a hard time, and Qi Jingshu, who caused her son to remain unmarried, certainly shouldn’t live well either.
She had been talking around for a while, complaining that the Qi family wasn’t as frugal these days as before. They were willing to buy expensive groceries, and even bought a roast chicken back home every now and then.
What was the reason other than the fact that the wealthy man gave the Qis money?!
Today, when her son called her, he said that he had applied to be a driver in a big company. It was driving for the chairman, that is, for the biggest person there!
The son, Jin Zhaocai, was particularly proud of himself, saying that afterwards, a word from him would be worth a year of hard work for others.
Old Lady Jin was so happy that she couldn’t wait to tell the whole world. She was going to look for neighbors to show off her son’s work when she saw the car at the door and knocked on the neighbor’s door.
These days, Old Mrs. Jin spread the rumor that Qi Jingshu favored the rich and hated the poor, abandoned her ex-boyfriend to marry a wealthy man, and was kept by a man. Although her neighbors loved gossip, they didn’t believe a word she said.
Qi Jingshu was someone everyone watched growing up. What kind of child she really was, they could see it clearly in the neighborhood. Instead, Old Lady Jin, who kept her son that lived off the old, was also a coward and didn’t work. And that son, how dare he think of a young girl!
They were not impressed, but given that Old Lady Jin’s shamelessness had been deeply rooted in the people’s hearts, they were unwilling to offend such a villain and cause conflict at home, so they acted perfunctory on the surface. In fact, they were secretly rooting for the good girl, Qi Jingshu.
Such a nice girl, but haunted by such a filthy thing. They didn’t have the guts to stand out, so they would have to secretly pray that Old Lady Jin would ascend to heaven soon and stop tormenting everyone.
Today, Old Lady Jin mysteriously said she was going to show everyone a good show. Although the neighbors made a bunch of excuses, it was like the Old Lady to not take their words in at all as she sat at the neighbor’s house and wouldn’t leave.
The neighbor was fed up in her heart. Although she saw the luxury car, she still didn’t believe that the child she grew up with would be the kind of person Old Lady Jin said.
Now seeing Qi Jingshu unbelievably dared to refute, she was stunned at first, then secretly cheered in her heart.
That’s right, for this shameless old lady, just don’t give her face!
“You, you dead girl, so brave just from having a backer. You dare lecture this old woman? Did you not have any proper upbringing? Didn’t your parents tell you to ‘respect the old and care for the young’ before they died? Huh?”
Qi Jingshu squeezed the bag in her grip, her eyes turning red, and stared viciously at the smelly Old Lady Jin. “My parents did teach me that, but you don’t realize what you look like. How is a gossipmonger like you worth any respect?”
She was angry with the words Old Lady Jin said before, but she still remembered the way her boyfriend taught her to quarrel. She didn’t stop there, and said, “But you, I am much younger than you. Why don’t I see you caring for me?”
“Old Lady Jin, your name is Jin, and my name is Qi. There is no blood relationship between us, and you are in no position to tell anyone in my family what to do. If I hear your slanderous mouth again, I will call the police immediately.”
It never occurred to Old Lady Jin that Qi Jingshu, who had always been weak and afraid to resist, would dare to say such a thing to her. Her face bloomed red, not knowing if it was from excitement or anger. She rushed forward, trying to slap Qi Jingshu’s face. “What are you pretending to be in front of me, you bitch? Not only did you seduce my son, but also seducing someone else and throwing away another. If you had no guilt in your heart, what are you afraid of? What’s so great about your brother being a policeman?”
“I’m telling you, my son said, if you dare to hit me, he will take videos and photos and send them online. He is now working in a big company. With just one word from him, your brother, that police/inspector, won’t be able to work anymore!”
“Eh eh eh, Old Lady, Old Lady, what good would that do? Jingshu is still young …”
Seeing that the situation was turning really, the neighbor behind her rushed up and grabbed Old Lady Jin. While trying to control her, she winked at Qi Jingshu. “You child, hurry to hide in the house. Wait for your Sister-in-law to come back!”
“What Sister-in-law! ! Even if her parents climbed out of the ground. I will discipline this bitch that dared to challenge me. I have to let her know what I am. Let me go!!”
“Hey, Old Lady Jin, don’t, don’t! Come and give me a hand, I can’t stop it …”
The soundproofing of the houses here wasn’t very good, not to mention that Old Lady Jin was screaming at the top of her lungs like a pig being slaughtered. As such, the neighbors who were still at home all around heard the commotion and rushed out. Seeing what was going on, they even went forward to pull her back.
“Everyone’s just in time, I’ll give you a good lecture, ah! Let me tell you something, Qi Jingshu!! She’s got money now, she’s being kept as a mistress, so powerful, so good!! Now, she bullies an old woman like me because she has a backer. She says she’s going to ask her brother to beat me up. Fighting, beating people up because her brother is a policeman, everyone come see!!!”
The old woman’s hoarse and ugly voice resounded loudly. She had learnt how to deal with people for years.
People wanted to save face, but she was already an old woman. Even if she cried in the street, how much would her face be worth anyways? Qi Jingshu was different. She was young, and a college graduate. The old lady was sure she would be crying now, just like she did in the beginning.
When Old Lady Jin was young, she was a vicious person. Now, her fighting capacity has risen to a higher level. She knew that the more she shouted, the more ashamed Qi Jingshu would be, so she kept shouting, growing louder by the second.
“Ah…, Old Lady Jin, what are you doing?… Jingshu never said she was going to hit you. You’re the one who’s rather awful…”
“Jingshu, hurry to apologize to her. Otherwise, she would keep making trouble. In the end, it would still be your family that will suffer…”
A few neighbors who were there were kind enough to remind Qi Jingshu. However, she only stood still, her eyes bloodshot red, her nails imprinted into her palms, her lips pursed to death, refusing to make a sound.
This happens every time!
Why should she have to apologize every time this spiteful Old Lady Jin lays on the ground and howls and cries? How many times has she suffered and cried in secret since she was a child? And by what right did she have to apologize?
Old Lady Jin was busy crying, though, adding oil, saying that she found Qi Jingshu being with someone wealthy. Coupled with the luxury car parked next to Qi’s house, the eyes of several aunts from the neighborhood started turning sides.
One of them quietly looked at Qi Jingshu’s face, which looked more beautiful than a movie star. “Jingshu ah, tell the truth to Auntie. Is what Old Lady Jin said true?”
“You people, is Jingshu a child like that? Why are you still listening to the rumors?”
“This car is here. If it weren’t for that, how do you explain it!”
“It shouldn’t be like what she said. Jingshu is a good kid, how could she do something like that…”
“I don’t know about that, nowadays, little girls…”
Although the onlookers were well-meaning people like the neighbors, naturally, there were people like Old Lady Jin who couldn’t bear to see others live well. With just a few words from Old Lady Jin, some people started to say bizarre and vulgar things out of jealousy.
Qi Jingshu’s ears rang with the chatterings of the crowd. She opened her mouth, holding back her anger, and explained word by word, “No, what she said is not true. This car…”
—“Mom! Mom, what are you doing! Who bullied you?!”
Squeezed into the crowd was a skinny, waxy-faced man. This was the loafing son.
The 30 years old Jin Zhaocai, who had been up all night playing cards, smoking, and drinking, appeared at Old Lady Jin’s side.
“Who else could it be? It’s that b*tch Qi Jingshu! Son, she’s been kept, she’s rich, and she’s started bullying your mother, and now I have to lie here and demand justice. See if the boss who kept her will continue to keep her when he comes!”
“At that time, she first seduced you then disliked you for not being able to make money. Now, she’s looking at Mom’s old bones and wants to bully me to death!”
Old Lady Jin’s son almost immediately understood her mother’s words. In recent years, when the mother and son were short of money, they would scam people, and formed a tacit understanding of each other. With a somewhat lecherous glance at Qi Jingshu’s tightly dressed upper body, he held out his hand and lunged forward.
“Trying to bully my mother?! You motherless b*tch! Today I will teach you a lesson!”
He had been thinking about Qi Jingshu a few years ago. Such a nice face, such a nice body. He always wanted to touch it himself, and the feeling must be very pleasant.
He knew that college students like Qi Jingshu valued reputation, and had planned to tyrannize her, but the Qi family’s character was too fierce, and he didn’t dare do so when the time came.
Qi Jingye was a policeman. In case he was put in jail with all of Jingye’s colleagues inside, he would be bullied to death.
Nowadays, things have changed. While doing it in the name of venting for his mother, he’s going to feel all over the person in front of him to see if that boss who is keeping her still wants such a Qi Jingshu!
By then, he’ll be able to marry someone over.
As for Qi Jingshu not seeing himself as a suitable candidate, he hadn’t even thought about it.
In his eyes, when Qi Jingshu refused, it was because he didn’t have enough money. Now, he has entered a big company to drive for a boss, and he will officially go to work tomorrow. With so much money every month, how can this woman not want him?
He couldn’t help but smile sardonically and pounced towards Qi Jingshu, who stood in the doorway.
“Stay away!!”
Qi Jingshu felt sick when she saw that face. She lifted her bag and smashed it desperately toward his face.
“Go away!! Go away!! Go away!!”
She seemed crazy and angry, and the man who was hit held his head and screamed as he avoided it.
“Crazy, your crazy b*tch!!”
In truth, the bag was soft, and although it hurt, there was no wound on his face, and he slapped it away with hatred.
If nothing else, Qi Jingshu’s face would definitely swell up if the slap hit her.
However, this slap was stopped by a white and slender hand.
Before Jin Zhaocai could react, his stomach suddenly hurt, and he was lying on the ground eating dirt.
Wei Mingyan kicked the man in the face, and turned to hold his girlfriend in his arms. He could feel her trembling, his sweetheart was that scared.
“It’s okay, I’m here, don’t be afraid …”
Wrapping her body in his arms and constantly reassuring her, Wei Mingyan’s eyes were cold as he looked at the man howling on the ground.
After seeing what he looked like, his eyes narrowed and his magnetic voice rang out coldly, “Jin Zhaocai?”
Jin Zhaocai was kicked lightly and felt the pain in his stomach. When he heard the man who beat him dare to call his name, he immediately raised his head viciously.
“Is this master’s name something you can casually call?!”
Wei Mingyan was expressionless, and his eyes were cold when he looked at the person on the ground. “You just applied for the driver position in Wei Group this morning, and expect to work tomorrow, right?”
Jin Zhaocai shrunk his body and subconsciously felt unease. Why did he feel this person looked somewhat familiar?
He had borrowed a suit this morning, relying on his able mouth, and managed to get hired in Wei Group when he applied. He just came back from the company. He hadn’t had time to find someone to show off to, and he only told his mother. How did this man know about it?
Old Lady Jin rushed up like a mad woman. “It’s good you know who my son is, you poor school teacher! Still not apologizing to my son yet? He now works for a big company, and a word from him will make you…”
“Old lady.”
Wei Mingyan’s always elegant facial expression sneered in a rare way, and turned to Mrs. Jin with a pair of eyes that were both flat and seemingly full of scorn. “Allow me to remind you that your son just applied to Wei Group today, and I am the Chairman of the Board.”
“And he applied for the post of my driver.”
He held the person in his arms tightly, his voice calm.
“Jin Zhaocai, I now announce that you are dismissed for harassing the chairman’s fiancée. If you have any objections, you are always welcome by the legal team of the Wei Group.”
Old Lady Jin stared in horror.
Jin Zhaobao stared blankly at Wei Mingyan’s cold, frosty face, finally knowing why it looked familiar.
Today, people in the company showed him several photos …
The chairman of Wei Group, was actually Qi Jingshu’s fiancé?
His legs went weak, and he was incredibly and completely paralyzed, collapsing to the ground.
(TNote: Did Big Brother Mingyan just hire someone for the sake of firing him in retribution? *slow clap in awe*.)

“Everyone’s just in time, I’ll give you a good lecture, ah! Let me tell you something, Qi Jingshu!! She’s got money now, she’s being kept as a mistress, so powerful, so good!! Now, she bullies an old woman like me because she has a backer. She says she’s going to ask her brother to beat me up. Fighting, beating people up because her brother is a policeman, everyone come see!!!”
The old woman’s hoarse and ugly voice resounded loudly. She had learnt how to deal with people for years.
People wanted to save face, but she was already an old woman. Even if she cried in the street, how much would her face be worth anyways? Qi Jingshu was different. She was young, and a college graduate. The old lady was sure she would be crying now, just like she did in the beginning.
When Old Lady Jin was young, she was a vicious person. Now, her fighting capacity has risen to a higher level. She knew that the more she shouted, the more ashamed Qi Jingshu would be, so she kept shouting, growing louder by the second.
“Ah…, Old Lady Jin, what are you doing?… Jingshu never said she was going to hit you. You’re the one who’s rather awful…”
“Jingshu, hurry to apologize to her. Otherwise, she would keep making trouble. In the end, it would still be your family that will suffer…”
A few neighbors who were there were kind enough to remind Qi Jingshu. However, she only stood still, her eyes bloodshot red, her nails imprinted into her palms, her lips pursed to death, refusing to make a sound.
This happens every time!
Why should she have to apologize every time this spiteful Old Lady Jin lays on the ground and howls and cries? How many times has she suffered and cried in secret since she was a child? And by what right did she have to apologize?
Old Lady Jin was busy crying, though, adding oil, saying that she found Qi Jingshu being with someone wealthy. Coupled with the luxury car parked next to Qi’s house, the eyes of several aunts from the neighborhood started turning sides.
One of them quietly looked at Qi Jingshu’s face, which looked more beautiful than a movie star. “Jingshu ah, tell the truth to Auntie. Is what Old Lady Jin said true?”
“You people, is Jingshu a child like that? Why are you still listening to the rumors?”
“This car is here. If it weren’t for that, how do you explain it!”
“It shouldn’t be like what she said. Jingshu is a good kid, how could she do something like that…”
“I don’t know about that, nowadays, little girls…”
Although the onlookers were well-meaning people like the neighbors, naturally, there were people like Old Lady Jin who couldn’t bear to see others live well. With just a few words from Old Lady Jin, some people started to say bizarre and vulgar things out of jealousy.
Qi Jingshu’s ears rang with the chatterings of the crowd. She opened her mouth, holding back her anger, and explained word by word, “No, what she said is not true. This car…”
—“Mom! Mom, what are you doing! Who bullied you?!”
Squeezed into the crowd was a skinny, waxy-faced man. This was the loafing son.
The 30 years old Jin Zhaocai, who had been up all night playing cards, smoking, and drinking, appeared at Old Lady Jin’s side.
“Who else could it be? It’s that b*tch Qi Jingshu! Son, she’s been kept, she’s rich, and she’s started bullying your mother, and now I have to lie here and demand justice. See if the boss who kept her will continue to keep her when he comes!”
“At that time, she first seduced you then disliked you for not being able to make money. Now, she’s looking at Mom’s old bones and wants to bully me to death!”
Old Lady Jin’s son almost immediately understood her mother’s words. In recent years, when the mother and son were short of money, they would scam people, and formed a tacit understanding of each other. With a somewhat lecherous glance at Qi Jingshu’s tightly dressed upper body, he held out his hand and lunged forward.
“Trying to bully my mother?! You motherless b*tch! Today I will teach you a lesson!”
He had been thinking about Qi Jingshu a few years ago. Such a nice face, such a nice body. He always wanted to touch it himself, and the feeling must be very pleasant.
He knew that college students like Qi Jingshu valued reputation, and had planned to tyrannize her, but the Qi family’s character was too fierce, and he didn’t dare do so when the time came.
Qi Jingye was a policeman. In case he was put in jail with all of Jingye’s colleagues inside, he would be bullied to death.
Nowadays, things have changed. While doing it in the name of venting for his mother, he’s going to feel all over the person in front of him to see if that boss who is keeping her still wants such a Qi Jingshu!
By then, he’ll be able to marry someone over.
As for Qi Jingshu not seeing himself as a suitable candidate, he hadn’t even thought about it.
In his eyes, when Qi Jingshu refused, it was because he didn’t have enough money. Now, he has entered a big company to drive for a boss, and he will officially go to work tomorrow. With so much money every month, how can this woman not want him?
He couldn’t help but smile sardonically and pounced towards Qi Jingshu, who stood in the doorway.
“Stay away!!”
Qi Jingshu felt sick when she saw that face. She lifted her bag and smashed it desperately toward his face.
“Go away!! Go away!! Go away!!”
She seemed crazy and angry, and the man who was hit held his head and screamed as he avoided it.
“Crazy, your crazy b*tch!!”
In truth, the bag was soft, and although it hurt, there was no wound on his face, and he slapped it away with hatred.
If nothing else, Qi Jingshu’s face would definitely swell up if the slap hit her.
However, this slap was stopped by a white and slender hand.
Before Jin Zhaocai could react, his stomach suddenly hurt, and he was lying on the ground eating dirt.
Wei Mingyan kicked the man in the face, and turned to hold his girlfriend in his arms. He could feel her trembling, his sweetheart was that scared.
“It’s okay, I’m here, don’t be afraid …”
Wrapping her body in his arms and constantly reassuring her, Wei Mingyan’s eyes were cold as he looked at the man howling on the ground.
After seeing what he looked like, his eyes narrowed and his magnetic voice rang out coldly, “Jin Zhaocai?”
Jin Zhaocai was kicked lightly and felt the pain in his stomach. When he heard the man who beat him dare to call his name, he immediately raised his head viciously.
“Is this master’s name something you can casually call?!”
Wei Mingyan was expressionless, and his eyes were cold when he looked at the person on the ground. “You just applied for the driver position in Wei Group this morning, and expect to work tomorrow, right?”
Jin Zhaocai shrunk his body and subconsciously felt unease. Why did he feel this person looked somewhat familiar?
He had borrowed a suit this morning, relying on his able mouth, and managed to get hired in Wei Group when he applied. He just came back from the company. He hadn’t had time to find someone to show off to, and he only told his mother. How did this man know about it?
Old Lady Jin rushed up like a mad woman. “It’s good you know who my son is, you poor school teacher! Still not apologizing to my son yet? He now works for a big company, and a word from him will make you…”
“Old lady.”
Wei Mingyan’s always elegant facial expression sneered in a rare way, and turned to Mrs. Jin with a pair of eyes that were both flat and seemingly full of scorn. “Allow me to remind you that your son just applied to Wei Group today, and I am the Chairman of the Board.”
“And he applied for the post of my driver.”
He held the person in his arms tightly, his voice calm.
“Jin Zhaocai, I now announce that you are dismissed for harassing the chairman’s fiancée. If you have any objections, you are always welcome by the legal team of the Wei Group.”
Old Lady Jin stared in horror.
Jin Zhaobao stared blankly at Wei Mingyan’s cold, frosty face, finally knowing why it looked familiar.
Today, people in the company showed him several photos …
The chairman of Wei Group, was actually Qi Jingshu’s fiancé?
His legs went weak, and he was incredibly and completely paralyzed, collapsing to the ground.
(TNote: Did Big Brother Mingyan just hire someone for the sake of firing him in retribution? *slow clap in awe*.)
