Chapter 523. Dispute
With Wang Qin’s abrupt shout, the noise in the office instantly halted and a stiff coldness appeared in the air.
The mother and son stared at each other just like that.
Wang Qin’s eyes were filled with anger and disappointment which she endured, yet Qi Lei just sneered. The light in his dark eyes was cold as the autumn waters.
After a while, he averted his gaze and apathetically looked down at the document in his hand. “You know that I’m just telling the truth. If you divorce him, you might even get something from him, and with what you have, you can definitely come out whole. Don’t wait until the end when you’re just there paving the way for someone else. The old man is cold and heartless. You have always known this. If he’s even this stingy to a woman, he’s not that great a person.”
Qi Lei’s calm voice was heard, yet it brought a vague feeling of pain. Wang Qin could actually hear a hint of dullness and stillness from his words.
Her expression was a mix of emotions as she sighed deeply and held back the surging emotions in her heart. After she eased off for a while, she stared at Qi Lei. “My son, I just… I just worry about you. Do you understand? You are Qi Qiming’s rightful son, and I, Wang Qin, gave birth to you. You should be enjoying exceptional advantages and be doted on endlessly. You should be the one enjoying the love of everyone, but for the sake of Qi Qifeng, Qi Qiming could be so heartless. This makes me extremely disappointed and sad!”
Wang Qin’s tone could not help but start to turn solemn as her fingers that held onto the side of Qi Lei’s desk began to turn pale. You could tell that she was trying her hardest to control her emotions too.
“You know that the marriage between Qi Qiming and I had nothing to do with feelings. Long before I married Qi Qiming, I already knew that I, Wang Qin, would have no options in this lifetime. Qi Qiming pressures me in all aspects. He can even be this cold to his own son, yet he offers extreme care for that illegitimate son, Qi Feng. How can I stomach this? I can disregard how he has been treating me, but, Xiao Lei, I’m only fighting for what you deserve! I’ve never lost to anyone before. I hope that as my son, you can do this too. You have to understand that life is like a battlefield. Only the victors have a right to speak!” Wang Qin spoke sincerely and earnestly, even though her elegant face seemed somewhat grave, her gaze had softened.
She stared at Qi Lei for a moment, then she could not help but continue again, “Now, I’ve received news that Qi Feng might not be dead. All these years, he has been hidden by Qi Qiming. He must be trying to evade us. While I thought that Qi Feng was dead all these years, I put my guard against Qi Qiming down. Now, all of the company’s shareholders are on his side. If this continues, you should know what the outcome will be in the next shareholder meeting. Qi Qiming is despicable and cruel. I’m sure you know this better than I do.”
