Chapter 1871: Blaming Me?

Qiu Chenxi was fuming, but she could not possibly leave. Even though Sister Zhao had said that, Qiu Chenxi could not believe her words. Apart from her, Zhai Sheng would never want to marry anyone else. Her father-in-law, Zhai Yaohui, had treated her rather well in the past. She did not believe that the Zhai family would be so unfeeling to her and would say whatever the caretaker had just told her.

All these had to be done by that woman who had set her sights on marrying Zhai Sheng. If she were to leave because of her anger now, she would have fallen for that woman’s trap and would have allowed that woman to take advantage of her! Would Qiu Chenxi do such a foolish thing?

Thankfully, the hotels in Qingshui Town had already opened now that it was spring. After looking through several hotels, Qiu Chenxi finally found one that she thought she would be able to spend the night in. Then, she made a call to her mom. “Mom, I’m in Qingshui Town.”

“Are you in the Zhai family’s house?” What Qi Minlan really wanted to know was where her daughter was. Her daughter’s current location would determine whether she still had any chance of getting back together with Zhai Sheng.

Qiu Chenxi did not lie. “No, I’m in a hotel.”

“As expected…” Even though she was Qiu Chenxi’s biological mother, she felt that her daughter had gone overboard and could not be forgiven this time. Even she, her mother, thought so, much less Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing, who were Zhai Sheng’s parents. They would never be able to forgive her daughter for betraying Zhai Sheng.

“Mom, it’s too early to say such things. It’s not my fault that I didn’t manage to enter the Zhai family’s house this time. It was not the Zhai family’s fault either. It was because of another woman.” She was the Zhai family’s only daughter-in-law. Even if she had done something wrong and had let Zhai Sheng down in the past, she had all reasons to believe that the Zhai family would not go so far as to refuse to meet her for Zhai Sheng’s sake.

“What do you mean? Why’s there suddenly another woman in the picture? Are you talking about Miao Jing?” The only woman who hated Chenxi in the entire Zhai family was Miao Jing.

At the mention of this, Qiu Chenxi flared up. “It’s not that stupid old woman, but I bet it has something to do with that stupid old woman! Haven’t they always wanted Zhai Sheng to get remarried to another woman? I guess the Zhai family must have found a partner for Zhai Sheng behind my back. That woman is rather impressive. She managed to bribe the caretaker of the Zhai family’s old villa, and that was why the caretaker refused to let me in to see the Zhai family.”

Initially, Qi Minlan was infuriated as well. How could there be such a bold and daring caretaker who cared more for an outsider than someone on her own side? But very soon, she calmed down. “This is the Zhai family we’re talking about. The Zhai family will never make such a low-level mistake and be taken for a ride by a caretaker. Are you sure that those words were those of Zhai Sheng’s partner and not the Zhai family?”

She did not think it was strange for Zhai Yaohui or Miao Jing to have said such a thing. If she had a son and if her daughter-in-law were to have an affair behind her son’s back, she would much rather her son remain single for the rest of his life after his divorce than allow her son to meet with that shameless ex-daughter-in-law ever again.

“Chenxi, I’m not trying to be nasty, but I hope that you’ll calm down and think it through. It’s very hard for the Zhai family to forgive you for what you’ve done. I don’t know if that woman you’ve talked about really exists, but what I do know is that the Zhai family may very well take it as though you’ve never existed and has instructed the caretaker not to open the door for you.”
