Chapter 1437 - 1430: The Storm is Coming (4)
"So what?"
Qin Zhizhi’s simple three words suddenly stumped Cai Yiren.
Right, so what? She had uncovered his affair, and he didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding it; instead, his blunt question about what she wanted to do left her at a loss.
What could she do? Make a scene? Make it so big that both families knew, inviting relatives to pass judgment? Not to mention Bai Changyou wouldn’t come forward; the Qin Family was divided into three branches, the eldest and the second branches wouldn’t utter a word, they would instead relish her misfortune. After all, she had climbed up the social ladder by stepping over the first and second branches when she got married. And the third branch, Qin Weijia favored his son, Qin Zhimei never paid her any mind. In these matters, they wouldn’t help her, they might even blame her for not being able to keep her son’s heart, which led him to fool around outside.
She was acutely aware that she had no leverage to confront Qin Zhizhi, even marrying into the Qin Family was aiming high for her. If she were the biological daughter of Bai Changyou, maybe he would have helped her. But she wasn’t. Even if her mother and uncle might stand by her side, what good would it do?
Moreover, the Bai Family was currently facing a crisis, making it even less likely to have a falling out with the third branch. If things escalated to separation or divorce, perhaps the first to get angry and violent would be Bai Changyou himself!
Why couldn’t she be Bai Changyou’s biological daughter? If she pushed things too far, a pawn would become an expendable one!
