At first, Shi Xingcan thought that the so called "reinstating the marriage agreement" was just to entertain herself with the time home. When she saw the declaration that Qin Yanmo had personally made, she was shocked and a little sad at the same time.
He never thought that even after such a thing happened, Qin Yanmo would still be unable to get rid of him.
She went to the bathroom and washed her face. She looked at herself in the mirror and gave a smile that was worse than crying.
She should be happy when Qin Yanmo comes out of jail.
She should have been happy...
Shi Xingcan looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly felt that she was a stranger.
It was a young and beautiful face, but the life he had been living for so long had destroyed the vitality in the depths of his eyes.
Shi Xingcan took a deep breath and walked out of the washroom.
The past was past. She wanted to live in the present.
"Jinx!" You go to the prison and bail Qu Zhong out! " kohlrabi fructus knocked heavily on Shi Xingcan's door, his tone full of impatience.
Shi Xingcan opened the door, looking at kohlrabi fructus who was extremely haggard, many thoughts in her mind.
The arrogance from before vanished one strike after another. Even though his tone was the same as before, it no longer seemed as arrogant as before.
"Yes." Shi Xingcan replied softly, her tone did not change, she was already used to kohlrabi fructus making things difficult for him.
After kohlrabi fructus finished speaking, he left. His usually straight back had become slightly hunched, and some white hair could be vaguely seen on it.
Shi Xingcan sighed emotionally and went to the Public Prosecutor's Office.
Although the kohlrabi fructus liked to be harsh on her, she didn't dare to delay such a big matter and gave her enough money to bail her out.
"Lawyer Zhang, can Qu Zhong's situation be released on bail?"
The Qu Family's imperial lawyer frowned: "There's not much hope, the police will very likely refuse to bail him out due to the pressure from the public."
On the other hand, Shi Xingcan didn't care, she wanted Qu Zhong and Han Yue to suffer more, but with Yang Qi's life and their marriage, she wanted to walk around carefully, so she had no choice but to force a smile to bail Qu Zhong out.
"Can't you pay more?"
"This is not a foreign country. Public opinion is more important than money. The people at the top need to consider the social impact." Lawyer Zhang sighed. "We can only try our best."
Shi Xingcan nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you, Lawyer Zhang."
Lawyer Zhang waved and walked into the Public Prosecutor's Office.
Shi Xingcan stayed behind with the people in charge and talked for a long time, but was unable to get the right to bail Qu Zhong out.
Helpless, they could only go to the police station to see Qu Zhong.
Compared to their domineering attitude from before, the two of them were much more dispirited.
This was especially the case for Han Yue, as the beautiful woman from before had stayed in Police station, who did not have any skincare or skincare products, for three days. Her greasy hair and yellow skin made her look like a delinquent in an unknown small bar.
Qu Zhong's chin had already grown stubble, his hair had the same greasy luster as Han Yue's.
He looked at Shi Xingcan as if he had seen a savior, and asked excitedly: "Did my dad send you to pick me up? Why did you only arrive now!? "
Shi Xingcan shook his head indifferently: "I can't report you, the people from the Public Prosecutor's Office do not agree."
Qu Zhong was furious: "If the Public Prosecutor's Office doesn't agree, you can just pay more! Can't you have some brains for doing things! "
The policeman standing behind him heard this and poked him in the back with his baton like a warning. His tone was serious.
Qu Zhong's face was filled with unwillingness, in the end, he still did not have the ability to fight with the government agencies, so he could only shut his mouth.
"Where's my dad? Why didn't he come to see me? " Qu Zhong looked for a long time, but did not see anyone behind Shi Xingcan, "Why is my mother not here either?"
"Father is sick," Shi Xingcan's tone carried a hint of reproach, "I was transferred out of the ICU yesterday."
Qu Zhong's face immediately became pale. He didn't know what the ICU was supposed to mean, and looked at Qu Zhong in a daze. He didn't understand why Qu Zhong had suddenly become like this.
"Hubby, what does ICU mean?"
Qu Zhong pushed Han Yue away with a pale face, and asked absentmindedly: "Where's Mom? Why didn't she come to see me? "
Shi Xingcan's tone was filled with naked disgust. "How could she have the time to care about you?"
Qu Zhong had not spoken yet, but Lawyer Zhang's tone was extremely serious as he said, "Young Master Qu, the Qu Family's stocks have already fallen to the bottom. If we do not find a new opportunity, we can declare bankruptcy in a few months."
"How could that be?" Qu Zhong looked at him in disbelief, "When I left, everything was still fine!"
Shi Xingcan didn't speak anymore, and only coldly looked at him. "Because you left without saying another word, causing everyone to suffer a great deal of injury. Think about it in the prison."
After Shi Xingcan finished speaking, she wanted to leave.
"Wait a moment!" Qu Zhong called out to her, "Can you come to my house to see my child? We left him with the nanny. "
Shi Xingcan originally wanted to refuse, but upon thinking that the child was innocent, she nodded and said, "If possible, I'll bring him back to the old house for mother to take care of him."
Qu Zhong opened his mouth, but the word 'thank you' was still swallowed back into his stomach.
When he grinded his teeth and decided to apologize, Shi Xingcan had already left with the lawyer.
Shi Xingcan drove the car to Qu Zhong's villa.
When she returned here once again, she felt extremely guilty. She had suffered many hardships here, and now she actually wanted to return to help the two people she hated the most with her children.
During the time that Qu Zhong wasn't around, there had been servants guarding the house, and the child had a nanny to take care of him.
But when Shi Xingcan entered and did not see anyone, she felt somewhat suspicious.
From time to time, faint crying could be heard, and Shi Xingcan followed the sound to the kitchen door.
The sound was much clearer, and there was a silent cry coming from the kitchen.
Shi Xingcan could tell that it was Qu Zhong's child's voice, but when she tried to open the door, she discovered that the door was locked.
"Little …" Just as he was about to speak, Shi Xingcan realized that she did not even know the name of Qu Zhong's child, "Don't hide at the door, I'll kick it open."
The child inside was still crying on his own, his voice hoarse to the point that it was terrifying.
Shi Xingcan was extremely anxious outside, but she didn't see a single servant after walking around the entire villa. In the end, she made up her mind, and simply climbed from the water pipe to the kitchen window and jumped in.
Fortunately, the kitchen was on the first floor. Although it was still a bit high off the ground, it would at most hurt him and prevent him from getting hurt by the fall.
The pipe outside the kitchen was a little slippery. Shi Xingcan stepped on it tightly, afraid that she would fall down.
The window was also tightly closed. Shi Xingcan smashed the window with her elbow, reached her hand in, pulled the crescent moon lock, and pushed open the window to jump in.
Qu Zhong's child was crying his heart out. When he saw Shi Xingcan, he staggered in front of her and hugged her thighs.
Shi Xingcan raised her eyebrows, Qu Zhong had not changed his clothes for a long time and his clothes were not as clean as the clothes on her body. Saliva and tears kept falling and her chest was soaked.
She somewhat disdainfully picked up the child and placed him on the back seat. She comforted him in a neutral tone, "Don't cry anymore, I'll take you to see Grandma."
Hearing the familiar name, the child's wailing became a lot quieter, but he still sucked on his fingers and sobbed.
kohlrabi fructus had already returned home and was preparing to cook dinner for Crooked Father. The format of Qu Family was getting worse with each passing day, and they had already dismissed the unnecessary servants.
Shi Xingcan brought the child in front of her and said, "Mom, I've brought Qu Zhong's child."
kohlrabi fructus saw Shi Xingcan holding onto a dirty little child. At the beginning, she didn't recognize him, but it was only when Shi Xingcan said this that she realized that the child in front of her was her grandson!
She picked up the child and asked, "How did he become like this?"
"He was locked in the kitchen. That's what happened when I saw him." Shi Xingcan said indifferently, "It should be locked by the nanny. Qu Zhong said that he gave the child to the nanny."
kohlrabi fructus was angry and pained, and could not help but scold: "Those people who killed over a thousand blades! Where's Qu Zhong? "
"I can't guarantee it. The procuratorate doesn't agree to bail."
Seeing his grandson's happiness diluted the worry in his heart, kohlrabi fructus did not have the mood to care about Shi Xingcan, and brought his grandson to his bedroom.
"Grandmother will bring you to take a bath!"
Shi Xingcan heaved a sigh of relief and went to the bathroom to wash her black hands.
Before he could wash up, he heard kohlrabi fructus's exasperated voice, "If your mother wasn't as stupid as a pig, we wouldn't be so unlucky!"
Then came the heart-wrenching cry of a child.
Shi Xingcan frowned, although she was unwilling, but she still went to the kohlrabi fructus's bedroom to take a look.
Qu Zhong and Han Yue's child were naked as they stood in the bedroom crying loudly. The cold wind from the air conditioner blew directly onto his body.
Shi Xingcan immediately took out her bathrobe from the bathroom to wrap the child up, and advised: "Mom, the child is still young, please take more responsibility."
kohlrabi fructus swore as she walked forward and fiercely pinched the child: "If it wasn't for this damned child, where would all this trouble have come from!?"
The child cried even more miserably as he mumbled, "Don't scold my mother!"
When kohlrabi fructus heard this, she became even angrier, and attacked even more viciously. "Why can't I say more!? It was your fox mother who killed my husband! Your biological grandfather! "
The child ran forward with the intention to beat kohlrabi fructus up.
kohlrabi fructus grabbed it and slapped it a few times mercilessly. "Your mother is Xiao San! You are Little San's bastard! "
The kohlrabi fructus had obviously lost all sense of reason. She kept beating and scolding the child, and Shi Xingcan was unable to persuade him.
In the end, the kohlrabi fructus pushed the child into Shi Xingcan's embrace. "You take this bastard! I'm not free! "
With that, he turned around and left.
Shi Xingcan looked at the child in her arms and laughed coldly.
Let her bring her husband's lover's child? He wasn't even afraid that she would kill this child.
Strangely, the child that was crying non-stop became quiet in Shi Xingcan's arms. Shi Xingcan lowered her head and met the child's eyes that were filled with no impurities.
Shi Xingcan sighed helplessly. No matter what happens to adults, it has nothing to do with children.
After washing the child, she brought the child downstairs, just in time to see kohlrabi fructus, who was about to go to the hospital.
"Scram with him to Qu Zhong's villa, don't bother me here." kohlrabi fructus's tone was bad, "If I come back at night, don't blame me for being rude!"
The child was so frightened by her sinister face that she stayed in Shi Xingcan's embrace, not daring to move an inch. Shi Xingcan nodded lightly: "Alright, let's go back now."
kohlrabi fructus snorted coldly and left in disdain.
Shi Xingcan did not have much clothes to begin with, and there were even less left over here.
Carrying the child in one hand and the suitcase in the other, she took the taxi straight to the villa.
The villa was still empty, Shi Xingcan felt that those servants might not even be able to escape after getting their wages if they continued to stay after seeing the Qu Family losing her power.
She looked at the child sitting quietly in the back seat and suddenly felt horrified. If she hadn't rushed back in time, would the child have starved to death in the kitchen?
"Mom …" "Mom …" The child met Shi Xingcan's gaze, and laughed until his eyes curved.
Shi Xingcan's heart was struck hard by the words' mother '. She smiled and asked, "What's your name?"
"Qu Biao." The child said unclearly, "Because father is called Qu Zhong."
