Chapter 262: Bad News-II
The room fell quiet with Li Lian who didn’t comment on anything yet, "He wasn’t exactly the gentlest person as you’ve seen." The woman laughed to give herself a lighter conversation, "That day, I had enough with his rough attitude also the marriage my parents forced me with and asked Mrs. Sun if I could stay at her house for a little while. She agreed and that happened." drawled Ms. Qin before placing the empty paper cup elsewhere.
Somewhere Li Lian was sure that wasn’t the first time Mr. Shui had raised his hand on Ms. Qin but for a reason the woman didn’t explained the sequence thoroughly and Li Lian thought it could be because the woman didn’t want to dig the old wound she received. "Did you file charges at him?" Li Lian asked that was the only thing that man should receive or not a break of hand or two for the scum.
"As you see, he is someone with a wealth. Compared to him, I could do less charges at him. I did file the charge however, it wouldn’t work much for me or did any effect." replied Ms. Qin and Li Lian could feel the unfairness for her. The woman had been forced to marry into situation with a man she didn’t love in a loveless marriage.
If the Old Master had agreed with the terms Akasaka son proposed, she would perhaps be somewhat similar to Ms. Qin. Things had worked differently for her because her family was on her side unlike Ms. Qin who has to went through it all alone. Li Lian couldn’t tell what Ms. Qin had went through to arrived here at the point where she was now. The path must have been rough and she had went through it all alone which Li Lian found it more admirable than her. Li Lian raised her hand and took Ms. Qin’s hand she rested on her laps.
With her hand pulled, Ms. Qin looked at Li Lian who had smiled warmly at her, "I’m glad you are alright, that is what is the best. Now you can have your own life, a free one. You are a strong woman, Ms. Qin far more admirable than what I’ve did that day."
Li Lian was how Ms. Qin looked at her before she looked down as if to hold something back, "You are a very kind person, Mrs. Li. I could see why Mr. Li has chosen you." Only a few knew about their marriage including a hand full of people in the socialites and !sl Qin was one of them who had learned the situation. "I had been thinking to properly thank you Mrs. Li for saving me that day but I didn’t find any way to repay your kindness and now too, your words are saving me again."
"I’m glad if you think so." Li Lian replied, "Have you talked with your family?" she asked, hoping she wasn’t beefing nosey.
