Chapter 33: Break Off All Relations 4
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Madam Wu’s rant continued with more gusto, “And you claim you’re not a fool! If you weren’t, would you misunderstand your own parents and brothers?”
After that, Madam Guo scolded, “You’re blinded by your own stupidity! You cold-hearted bastard!”
“Don’t you feel ashamed, slandering your family like this?” Old Man Qi cradled his chest, looking in pain.
Qi Qingyao froze.
She had not expected them to turn everything around and make it seem like she had been in the wrong the whole time!
Even though she had revealed the truth, Madam Wu still retaliated from another angle, twisting her words…
She had to put a stop to this now, instead of pointlessly going back and forth with her ‘parents’ — this was a waste of her time!
Qi Qingyao raised her head. Her gaze was cold and her pupils dark as she stared at Madam Wu and declared, “Qi Boli, Wu Yulian, I want to break off all relations with you!”
Madam Wu acted hurt. “You insolent brat! You want to break off all relations with your father and mother? Your heart must have been eaten by the dogs!”
Madam Guo, Madam Liang, and Madam Tian looked at Qi Qingyao with identical expressions of disappointment.
Qi Qingyao was not annoyed by them. She suddenly grinned cheekily. “If you don’t want to, you’ll be taking care of the three kids. Without them holding me back, I can marry someone else.”
Madam Wu’s smile slipped off her face.
She curled her lips and gave Qi Qingyao a look full of hatred and mockery. She replied, saying, “You want to break off all relations with us? Now that you’re no longer a fool, let’s do that — but if anyone asks, don’t tell them that we didn’t raise you as a kid.”
Seizing his chance before it could slip away, Old Man Qi interjected. “Your mother is right. You’re already nineteen. If you want to break off all relations, we’ll fulfill your wish. We’ll live separate lives from now on. As for you, take care of your children well.”
Qi Qingyao’s eyes glinted with glee as she finally got what she wanted. However, she put on an expression of sadness, of someone that had lost hope and was crying to the gods for help.
She cradled her chest and fell to the ground on her knees, muttering, “I was just joking, but my parents truly want to cut off all ties with me. You must be playing a trick on me, right? Will we have to write an agreement now? Don’t write an agreement, please don’t, Daddy and Mummy! Please don’t be so cruel to me! I don’t want to face the brutal truth!”
Old Man Qi and Madam Wu had not thought about writing an agreement. After Qi Qingyao’s tantrum, they realized it would be best to draw one up, so Qi Qingyao could not go back on her word if she tried to.
Madam Wu said decisively, “An agreement? Of course we should write one.”
Old Man Qi reassured his daughter, putting on a show of gentleness. “You’re an adult. You’re nineteen, and your children are already three years old. You’ll have to live your own life in the future sooner or later. This is not cruel or brutal.”
Madam Wu gave her sons a beckoning look.
Qi Yuancheng shared a look with his brothers. He said, feeling embarrassed, “Mother, I only know simple words and I don’t know how to write. There’s no one else in the family that knows how… What should we do?”
Jiang Yeqian, who had been coldly standing by and watching everything unfold, said, “If you want to write an agreement, I can do it.”
Madam Wu glared at Jiang Yeqian. “Who are you to meddle in our family business?”
Qi Qingyao said calmly, “He’s a scholar!”
Madam Wu jabbed, “He’s merely a poor scholar.”
Qi Yuancheng asked, “Why is there a scholar here in your hut?”
Tears brimmed in Qi Qingyao’s eyes. She looked at Jiang Yeqian pitifully and pleaded dejectedly, “O Scholar, please don’t write the agreement! My parents and I merely have some misunderstandings. They’re going to help me take care of my kids!”
Upon hearing that, Old Man Qi felt his blood pressure skyrocket.
Madam Wu rushed Jiang Yeqian anxiously. “Write it! Quick! Poor scholar, quickly write the agreement!”
