Chapter 173: Chapter 173
Bo Xichen arranged for his people to enter the private room. The two managers immediately ensured that the doors were guarded, denying admission to any irrelevant individuals. The Qin family was left stranded at the door, gazing helplessly.
Qin Siling murmured, "Dad, Grandfather, it seems the Bo family doesn’t think much of us. Aunt Wang also seems determined to get a divorce."
Qin Han’s expression was somewhat complicated. Just now, seeing Wang Keru, she seemed even more alluring than before. He had been fond of her in his youth. Later, when the Gu family fell on hard times, she had sought his help, which had somewhat inflated his ego—a common failing in men. But seeing her now, he felt a twinge of reluctance to let her go; after all, Wang Keru was a very presentable wife.
Old Master Qin had just been put at a disadvantage by Bo Xichen’s mother and couldn’t help but fiercely scold his son again. Seeing no point in waiting further, they returned to the hotel to discuss things slowly.
The atmosphere throughout dinner was as heavy as if they were attending a funeral.
Shen Wanqing belatedly realized the Qin family was no longer treating her as cordially as before. Old Master Qin didn’t greet her with his usual affectionate "Wanqing, my girl"; he merely gave a faint nod when she greeted him.
She felt very flustered and ate her meal silently, listening to their discussion.
Fortunately, she overheard that Wang Keru was determined to get a divorce. Without Wang Keru and Gu Anxi, if she could find a way to win Qin Siyuan’s heart again, she could definitely marry into the Qin family.
Halfway through the meal, Qin Siling asked, "Dad, did you two sign any prenuptial agreement back then?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Han broke out in a cold sweat.
He had... completely forgotten! ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
Seeing his expression, the mood of the Qin family members grew even heavier. However, Qin Siling quickly decided, "We need to prepare for two scenarios. First, Dad, you continue to try and reconcile with Wang Keru. Avoid divorce if possible, and once you’ve reconciled, coax her into signing an agreement. Second, if divorce is inevitable, we must hire the best lawyer."
Her expression turned fierce. "Since she doesn’t want to stay in the Qin family, then don’t let her take a single cent from us. She should leave with nothing, just as she came! Penniless."
Qin Han took a few hard drags on his cigarette, then exhaled a long plume of smoke before saying, "If she’s unyielding, then she can’t blame me for being ruthless. If she insists on going down the same path as Gu Yuntian, there’s nothing I can do."
"Qin Han!" Old Master Qin rebuked. "How can you say such things so casually? Gu Yuntian died in a car accident! It had nothing to do with anyone else, and certainly nothing to do with our Qin family."
Qin Han remained silent.
Qin Siyuan’s fingers suddenly clenched.
Shen Wanqing’s eyes widened as if she had heard something truly shocking, then she quickly pretended she hadn’t heard a thing.
Even Qin Siling’s mouth fell slightly agape, unable to utter a word—
Were her dad and grandfather implying... that the car accident involving Gu Yuntian and Gu Anxi was related to the Qin family?
The atmosphere was quite heavy. At this moment, Shen Wanqing spoke up delicately, "I think what Sister Si Lan said is quite right. If Aunt Wang refuses to return to the Qin family, then it’s only right that she leaves with nothing."
These words clearly pleased Old Master Qin. He chuckled, "Wanqing is indeed sensible."
Having been praised, Shen Wanqing immediately looked towards Qin Siyuan, but he remained unmoved.
Old Master Qin spoke again, "Let’s do as Si Lan said. If it comes to divorce, we’ll return to Qingcheng to handle it. A mighty dragon cannot crush a local serpent; I’d like to see what the Bo family can do to our Qin family there! Also, Si Lan, you need to speed things up. It’s the lawyer surnamed Feng, right? Hire him, no matter how expensive. Our Qin family can afford it!"
Qin Siling nodded. "Rest assured, Grandfather. No matter the cost, I will definitely hire Lawyer Feng."
