After leaving my father and keeping my son, I built my own wealthy family, and my ex-husband's

Qin Hai was immediately alarmed. "Old Yang, go find it for me quickly!"

Seeing how worried he was about Mingyun, He Ya felt very uncomfortable and secretly thought that it would be best if he jumped off a building and died, which would save her a lot of trouble.

However, Mingyun soon arrived with Steward Yang.

He Ya gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with disappointment.

Qin Hai visibly relaxed and said softly to Mingyun, "Please sit down."

He Ya felt a tightness in her chest, but then she thought that no matter what, the most important thing was the family heir.

Let's just consider this one last time before Mingyun is completely kicked out of the Qin family, so she can enjoy being the young mistress of the Qin family.

"Take Youyao and Chengxi to a small restaurant for dinner," Qin Hai ordered again.

What follows is something very important for adults, and it is not appropriate for children to be present.

Manager Yang immediately complied.

More than a dozen exquisite dishes were steaming hot and fragrant on the table.

But no one touched their chopsticks; everyone sat upright and formally.

Tick-tick-tick-

The clock in the restaurant was ringing.

This made the atmosphere even more eerily quiet.

Even Qin Xiaoxiao, who is usually quite carefree and easygoing, didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Qin Hai pursed his lips.

He didn't speak, and the others dared not utter a sound either.

Bai Fengqin and Qin Pinsen both quietly comforted He Ya with their eyes.

Although He Ya kept telling herself that she was sure to win, her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat. She unconsciously gripped Qin Pinsen's hand tightly under the table.

On the contrary, Mingyun remained calm and composed.

She was even hoping her father-in-law would announce soon that he agreed to Qin Pinsen's divorce from her.

From then on, she had peace and quiet, free to roam the sea and sky where fish could leap and birds could fly.

Just thinking about it makes me feel so relaxed.

She locked herself in a cage for love, and has been doing so for six years now.

I once acted voluntarily, and now that it's all over, I have no regrets and no lingering feelings.

This is the most dignified ending for an adult.

"Pinsen, Xiaoya..." Qin Hai finally spoke, mentioning the two first.

Everyone present perked up their ears.

Qin Hai said, "I gave that apartment in Liujin Mansion to Xiaoyun a long time ago; it belongs to her as her personal property."

None of them expected that he would bring up this matter first.

Moreover, apart from Mingyun, no one expected that such a nice house would actually be given to Mingyun.

"When did you give it to me? Why didn't you tell me?" Bai Fengqin was a little annoyed.

Qin Hai ignored her, focusing only on the somewhat dumbfounded Qin Pinsen and He Ya, and continued, "You two, disregarding the evidence she provided and forcibly destroying it, what do you plan to do?"

At this critical juncture, He Ya dared not argue.

Even if she's envious of that house, she can only adjust her attitude. After all, once she becomes Mrs. Qin, the benefits will far outweigh any house she could ever own.

She got up immediately.

She first bowed to Mingyun, using this as a strategic retreat to demonstrate her refinement as the eldest daughter of the He family.

"I was reckless in this matter, please don't blame Pinsen. I will compensate you three times the amount for the losses caused."

Her words sounded very sincere, showing the demeanor of a well-bred lady.

Qin Hai asked Mingyun, "Do you accept it?"

"Okay, sure." Mingyun didn't want to argue any further and immediately agreed.

Qin Hai nodded, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a small sip, and said, "As for Pinsen and Xiaoyun..."

Everyone held their breath.

Finally, Qin Hai was about to announce his decision.

He put down his teacup and said, word by word, "You two—you are not allowed to divorce."

Everyone froze.

Mingyun's pupils trembled, and she clenched her fingers.

He Ya almost lost her balance, and her face turned deathly pale instantly.

How could this happen?

Qin Pinsen stood up, supported her waist, and said incredulously, "Dad! How can I let Ya'er marry me if I don't divorce Mingyun?"

"Yes!" Qin Xiaoxiao chimed in, "Dad, Sister Ya is the most suitable person to be my sister-in-law!"

Bai Fengqin chimed in anxiously, "Husband, are you out of your mind? Don't you want your grandson? Do you really want the family line to end?!"

Qin Hai smiled coldly, "Since they are children of the Qin family, I can't possibly abandon them."

"and you……"

"Chengxi, return to the Qin family and acknowledge Mingyun as your mother."

"What?!"

Bai Fengqin suddenly stood up.

A loud buzzing sound exploded in Mingyun's mind.

Qin Pinsen was completely stunned, and He Ya almost collapsed in his arms.

Before everyone could recover from their shock, Qin Hai pointed at Qin Pinsen and reprimanded him:

"Xiao Yun risked her life to save you back then, and later, during her pregnancy and childbirth, she barely escaped death! She also took care of you tirelessly for almost a whole year to prevent you from becoming paralyzed! She loved you so much, are you blind?! If I had known this would happen, I would have given birth to a piece of barbecued pork rather than you! If you still want to be a man, then shoulder your responsibilities! If you can't even shoulder family responsibilities, how can you bear the burden of your entire family!"

Qin Pinsen looked extremely embarrassed and was rendered speechless by the scolding.

Qin Hai then pointed at He Ya, "As for you, whether it's true love or having a son, it doesn't change the fact that you interfered in someone else's marriage! If you're not happy, call your father to see me! I'll see where he gets the nerve to let his daughter, who was a mistress, into the Qin family!"

He Ya collapsed to the ground, as if her soul had been blasted to ashes by those words.

"Qin Hai! You..." Bai Fengqin's face turned green as she slammed her hand on the table and roared, "What you said... was too awful!"

Qin Hai continued firmly, "It's settled then, He Ya. Go back and tell your parents that I won't pursue the matter of you ruining my son and daughter-in-law's marriage. Even if your He family wants to use this as an excuse to demand compensation from me, feel free to ask. However, Cheng Xi must stay with the Qin family and have absolutely no further connection with your He family!"

Bai Fengqin had planned everything meticulously, but she never expected her husband to make such a decision.

He Ya had a perfectly good trump card in her hand, but he snatched it away and stuffed it into Ming Yun's hand!

For a moment, he didn't know what else to say and slumped into a chair.

"Dad!" Qin Pinsen knelt down on both knees.

Qin Hai roared, "Shut up and sit back down! After this meal, I'll send someone to take He Ya back to the He family."

The group felt as if the sky had fallen.

Mingyun's vision went black again and again.

This is not the result I wanted either.

But Qin Hai is clearly in a state of rage now, and even I can't bring myself to persuade him.

It might backfire, making him even more protective of himself and even less willing to agree to a divorce.

After Qin Hai finished speaking, the villa's dining room fell into an even quieter, deathly silence than before.

"Master, the guests have arrived." Steward Yang walked in at this moment.

"Yes, please come in."

"Yes, sir."

At this moment, He Ya was so distraught that she couldn't eat anything. Qin Pinsen gritted his teeth and asked his sister to help him get He Ya to rest.

Qin Hai didn't say anything.

"I'm not eating either!" Bai Fengqin glared at him and stormed out of the restaurant.

Bai Fengqin went ahead, with Qin Pinsen and Qin Xiaoxiao supporting He Ya on either side. Just as they reached the door, a tall figure appeared in front of them.

The brother and sister were taken aback at first, clearly knowing each other, but neither greeted each other and continued walking with He Ya.

Mingyun was organizing her thoughts, preparing to tell Qin Hai that she had made up her mind to get a divorce.

Qin Hai said to the tall figure who entered, "Please make yourself at home."

"Yes, Third Uncle."

Mingyun felt that this voice...

The name sounded so familiar that it made her heart skip a beat.

I subconsciously looked up.

He met a cold, hard gaze.

That gaze, like lightning, pierced through the memories she had locked away deep within her heart.

In an instant, her blood seemed to freeze.

"Xiao Yun, this is the son of my second brother Qin Yun's wife. He takes his mother's surname Yu, and his given name is Ye. So, you should call him your cousin," Qin Hai introduced.

Mingyun felt a chill run down her spine, and goosebumps rose all over her body.

What?!

Her first love, her ex-boyfriend.

Mino.

actually……

It's Qin Pinsen's cousin!!!
