My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 656 - 663 Money and your relationship with men_1

Lin Xiangwan felt very uncomfortable in this house, and the butler called her for breakfast early in the morning.

Seeing Zhou Ziqing busily moving back and forth between the kitchen and dining room with such ease made her uncomfortable, and she lost her appetite.

However, the maids seemed to treat her better than before, all of them greeting her and asking what she would like to eat.

Lin Xiangwan shook her head at each inquiry.

Grandma Qin also made a point to speak with her. "Wanwan, come have some food!"

Lin Xiangwan shook her head. "No, thank you. I need to go to my shop at this time!"

After saying this, she headed towards the exit.

Grandpa Qin, who had held his tongue so far, expressed his dissatisfaction. "Now that you are back in the Qin Family, you should abide by its rules. Your shop should be closed!"

"Closed? How could it be? My shop is doing very well!" Lin Xiangwan pondered then stopped still, answering seriously. "Grandpa, Grandma, I returned not as Qin Muchuan’s wife, but as a mother to my children. That being said, it doesn’t mean I intend to stay here indefinitely. Once Qin Muchuan marries a woman who can definitely treat my children well, I am willing to leave without worries. But if it’s Miss Zhou, I’m sorry, I can’t trust her, or any of you, with my children. After all, a non-biological mother can’t possibly care for my kids better than I can."

Her words were pretty ruthless, and after taking a deep breath, Grandpa Qin said, "Miss Lin, you are out of line. As the children’s closest relatives, how can we possibly not care for them properly?"

"I acknowledge that you are their relatives, and you do treat the children well, but you are getting old. As for the children’s grandmother, she is not related by blood, so I can’t trust her. As for their grandfather, I can’t make a judgement. Since their father has a busy job, I genuinely can’t feel reassured under these circumstances." Lin Xiangwan then chuckled, "So for now, no matter how unwilling I am to return or how much I dislike living here, I have to endure it for a while!"

Zhou Ziqing chimed in mockingly after being continuously prodded. "Then suffer it!"

Lin Xiangwan shot her an angry glare. "Miss Zhou, do you think you have any room to talk here? Who the heck are you?"

"..."

Lin Xiangwan’s face flushed and turned pale alternately as she was left without a response.

Xu Feng’e defended her. "Lin Xiangwan, even if Zhou Ziqing isn’t qualified to question you, at least I still qualify, right? You say you are suffering here? Do you think everyone actually enjoys your presence?"

Lin Xiangwan wasn’t angry at all, and just smiled calmly. "Of course, I do know that you all do not wish to see me. Hence, I’m sorry, but you will have to endure my presence for some time!"

Xu Feng’e returned the cold smile. "Don’t you know that your words deeply offend and hurt others? Even though there are some disagreements among us adults, but I genuinely love Tongtong and Ranran. And for you to say that..."

Lin Xiangwan smirked, completely ignoring her confession.

She turned around and left!

Xu Feng’e pointed at her retreating figure, barely managing to speak out of anger. "Father, Mother, look at her. Does she in any way resemble a member of our Qin family? She’s intentionally provoking us!"

Grandfather Qin twitched his lips, while Grandma Qin was so distressed, she didn’t know how to salvage her relationship with her daughter-in-law.

Zhou Ziqing was upset that no one in the family was standing up for her.

She practically had no status in this family... what should she do?

********

A cold gust of wind blew, causing leaves to fall from the trees lining the streets.

Early winter, giving off a desolate feeling.

"Gosh, it’s getting cold again!" Lin Xiangwan sighed.

"Yes, the weather is getting colder!" Su Yueze, standing by her side, was looking at the same scenery, uttering the same words.

"This year, I feel like I’ve gained a lot but also haven’t gained that much!" Lin Xiangwan blinked, recalling when she first arrived in city B, the weather wasn’t even warm yet.

Within less than a year, she had gained a family, but was about to lose it again...

If you had never tasted something, you wouldn’t know how delicious it was and wouldn’t feel much loss if you never got to try it.

But she had tasted it, fallen deeply in love with it, and losing it now made her feel truly sad.

Especially since she had forgiven him before, she felt like she was devastated twice over.

If you fell twice at the same spot in a ditch, nobody would sympathize with you—they would only ridicule you!

Lin Xiangwan really felt like killing herself. Qin Muchuan must be laughing at her somewhere!

She was really so stupid!

"Well...there’s still a few months until the New Year, it’s still not too late. You should try to reclaim what you’ve lost!" Su Yueze encouraged.

Lin Xiangwan gave a bitter smile. "But this thing, I’ve decided I don’t want it anymore!"

"Huh?" Su Yueze was surprised.

Lin Xiangwan was confused at his surprise. "What’s wrong?"

Su Yueze asked, puzzled. "Are you sure the ’thing’ you’re talking about is a man?"

"Yes, Qin Muchuan is definitely a man!" Lin Xiangwan nodded.

"What I mean is, you can ditch Qin Muchuan, but you don’t have any reason to ditch men, right? Do you know how you will be without a man?" Su Yueze asked, looking horrified.

"I don’t know!" She pondered then laughed. "Nowadays, I increasingly feel that women don’t need to rely on men. Depending on men will only make life miserable. I was without a man, yet in a year I was able to make five to six hundred thousand. Ever since I started dating Qin Muchuan, I seem to have become a woman who just spends money aimlessly all day. But now... I can earn my own money. I feel like life’s good!"

"What I mean is not about money and men, but about you and men. You might not need a man during the day, but don’t you need one at night?" Su Yueze queried.

Lin Xiangwan’s face flushed with embarrassment. "No, I don’t need one!"

"Are you kidding? When did you become a nun?"

"I said I don’t need one!"

Su Yueze pointed at her stylish outfit. "If you’re not interested, why would you dress so beautifully? Don’t you get dressed up to attract attention? You crave men’s gaze during the day and yet claim you don’t need a man at night, who are you trying to fool?"

Lin Xiangwan blushed with anger. "Who says getting dressed up can’t be for self-pleasure? Who says getting dressed up is to attract men’s eyes?"

"Ha! If you say that’s not the case, you’re just deceiving me. You certainly can’t deceive yourself!" Su Yueze said, unconvinced.

Then, leaning closer to her, he whispered, "Pretty lady, why don’t you consider me? You’re getting divorced from Qin Muchuan, shouldn’t you give me a chance?" freёnovelkiss.com
