Wang Qin had always been a strong woman,
She started getting involved in her family business since she was 20 years old, and she valued family bonds even more so than her romantic relationship. That was the reason why she decisively gave up on the man she loved and married Kim Joon as per her family's arrangement.
She never loved Kim Joon all these years, and he never loved her either.
Both of them knew they loved other people. Wang Qin gave up on finding love ever again. On the other hand, Kim Joon's mistresses never stopped appearing, with Lu Xinlan being just one of the many.
Lu Xinlan mentioned that Manoban Zi was Kim Joon's true love, but Wang Qin was quite doubtful about this. Although Kim Joon did show Manoban Zi quite a bit of attention and was particularly nice to Suho as well, Lisa had already told her that Suho and Yeji were not related to Kim Joon at all.
That meant that Manoban Zi's lover was not Kim Joon. He was not an idiot, but why would he be so nice to Suho if he was not his child?
Wang Qin could not figure it out, and this question had been bugging her ever since.
Was it just because Suho was Sehun's good friend?
"There's no point wasting your time if you know he'll never change. Stop using me as an excuse after so many years. Divorce is the best option you can choose right now," Jisoo finally spoke up. He pinched the space between his eyebrows and continued, "Any stepfather you find for me is probably better than him. I'm not staying with you two anyway. I don't care what the two of you are doing. You're giving yourself a tough time, and I'm suffering the consequences."
Jisoo put on a wicked smile as sarcasm filled his tone. "If I were you, I'd collect evidence of him cheating. He also uses violence on you, doesn't he? If you're lucky, you might be able to get half of his assets if you present these pieces of evidence to the court." His tone was casual and easy as if he did not care.
"No, Xiao Jisoo, you'd lose everything if I do that. Your grandfather has already proclaimed you as the successor of the Kim family. We're not here to steal from others, but we should take what we deserve. I've endured this the whole time. I can't involve my son as well!"
Wang Qin looked at Jisoo with sorrow in her eyes. "Kim Joon shifted his hatred towards me onto you. You're innocent, Xiao Jisoo. It's all my fault."
Jisoo turned away, his smile becoming cold, and eventually, his expression faded. He just looked outside the car window without saying anything.
"Xiao Jisoo, I just hope that you can be well. I hope you don't have to become like me. I want you to lead a happy life, but you're such a proud person. How could you...? I know you don't like to listen to this since I'm sure you already know, but I suppose he never thought of you as his son, seeing how he treated you in Miyeon's office."
"He has no right to be my father," Jisoo gave a brief reply. Wang Qin was heartbroken to hear that, so she assured him, "You still have me! I'll protect you forever!"
"It's fine. It really doesn't matter to me. Just take care of yourself. Because of just one mistake, you're suffering the consequences for the rest of your life. I'm really impressed by your courage and tenacity. If it were me, I'd have left a long time ago."
Jisoo took a deep breath and continued, "You don't have to bother with Shasha as well. If not, that old man might mess with you. Shasha... She's changed. If you mess with her, she might do something to you. I know her way too well."
"Miyeon! I told you she's a scheming woman, Xiao Jisoo. Luckily, you didn't go over that time, or else you might've been the one in the accident instead of Suho! Suho is really stupid, being fooled by Miyeon. She was eloping together with Sehun and not him. I'm not sure if I should laugh or applaud his effort," Wang Qin said.
"Mind your words. Suho is my good friend." Jisoo's eyes darkened when he heard Wang Qin's remark, and he shot Wang Qin an unhappy glance. "I'm sure he has his reasons. Maybe he doesn't deserve the criticism."
"I know you, Sehun, and Suho were all under Miyeon's spell. Speaking of Suho, he probably loved Miyeon as much as you both. The way he looks at her can't be faked. However, I never expected him to just hand her over to Sehun." Wang Qin was reminded of some scenes from the past.
However, Jisoo frowned. "Suho? What do you mean?"
"Don't you know?" Wang Qin was confused. She took a pause before explaining, "On the day before Miyeon and Lisa's marriage, Suho and Sehun had a fight. It was really intense. Sehun even punched Suho. I was worried that you might be involved. That was why I made you go away."
Wang Qin thought about what might have happened if she did not make Jisoo go away. He might have been in the car, and it would have been disastrous!
"Did you say Sehun punched Suho?" Jisoo squinted his eyes as he looked at Wang Qin. "Do you remember why they fought?"
Wang Qin gave it some thought before shaking her head. "Sehun was already hitting him when I noticed them. Suho even puked some blood. Kim Joon found out and pulled them apart. When Sehun said Suho was unforgivable, he was probably blaming Suho for not being able to stop the marriage between Miyeon and Lisa, or else they wouldn't have run away. Miyeon is really scary. She had so many men dancing around on her fingertips, yet she didn't appreciate Lisa at all. Instead, she got together with Sehun, involving both you and Suho!"
