Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 151 Severing ties
Shen Wanqing's eyes were hurt, and her expression was dejected.

"Yan Yan has been close to you since she was little,"

Qi Yan found it ironic, and his tone was tinged with sarcasm.

"When Yan Yan was lost, didn't you scold me for not being able to stand seeing you spoil Yan Yan? How come you're admitting that my relationship with her is good now that you need me?"

Qi Yan thought he would no longer be saddened by his mother's favoritism.

But when she stands in front of me and brings up Yan Yan's matter again, I still feel sad.

Shen Wanqing frowned; this was something she hadn't expected.

"How could you become like this? Even if our relationship was a bit strained before, it doesn't mean you have to talk to me like this."

Shen Wanqing turned her gaze and landed on the door of the master bedroom.

"Is it because of this woman?"

"She has a name, Mom. I don't expect you to respect me, but please don't vent your dissatisfaction with me on Sisi."

Seeing his mother's disrespect for Sisi, Qi Yan couldn't help but raise his voice.

"I can't help with Yan Yan's situation, but she needs me more here."

Upon receiving Qi Yan's refusal, Shen Wanqing's pupils constricted sharply. "Say that again?"

“Say it ten times, it’s the same. Since Yan Yan doesn’t want to go back, then don’t force her. If we suddenly disrupt her life trajectory of more than ten years, she won’t be able to get used to it even if she returns to the capital.”

"shut up!"

Snapped--

Shen Wanqing was so angry that her body trembled and her right hand turned red. She pointed at Qi Yan and said, "I'm telling you, you have to go."

Qi Yan's jawline tightened, and his face grew increasingly gloomy. The pain in his left cheek was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.

Ji Sisi woke up while the two were arguing. She originally wanted Qi Yan to resolve the situation, but after hearing the slap, she couldn't sit still and opened the door to her room.

She rushed over to check on Qi Yan's injuries, her face full of worry.

"Does it hurt?"

When he saw Ji Sisi come out, Qi Yan's eyes softened considerably, and he shook his head, afraid that she would worry.

"It doesn't hurt. You go inside and go to sleep first. I'll go back to my room after I'm done."

“I won’t go in. What if she hits you again? You’re worried about blood ties, but I’m not. If she dares to hit you again, I’ll hit her back!”

Ji Sisi stood in front of Qi Yan like a mother protecting her child, wanting to protect him.

On the contrary, Ji Sisi was somewhat looking forward to Shen Wanqing making another move. She was someone who had taken a powerful slap, and she was worried that this woman, who was over fifty years old, would be knocked to the ground.

"you!"

Shen Wanqing was furious. She knew Ji Sisi didn't respect her, but she didn't expect her to be this disrespectful.

"Qi Yan, is this the wife you married?"

"Mom, you have no right to talk to Sisi. I won't go to Yan Yan's place. I've already spoken to the police station. You have to leave by the day after tomorrow at the latest. I'll pay for your travel expenses."

Shen Wanqing snorted several times as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Do you think I need your few coins? You have to come back with me this time, or I'll disown you as my son forever."

Qi Yan nodded in agreement, his attitude decisive, "Fine, you'd better keep your word. Anyway, you haven't treated me like your son since you lost Yan Yan."

"You said those words yourself, so please don't take them seriously in the future and stop using my family's name to hurt the people I care about!"

When Sisi came back and was chatting with Lin Miao in the back seat, Lin Peifeng overheard everything.

Unfortunately, Lin Peifeng was someone who couldn't keep things to himself. Despite promising his sister and Ji Sisi he wouldn't tell, he eventually did.

Qi Yan also had a general understanding of what had happened in Jianghai.

Based on his understanding of his mother, these were all too mild; the situation was likely much more complicated.

Sisi just didn't tell him.

Shen Wanqing thought she was hallucinating and asked again, disbelievingly, "What did you say?"

Qi Yan raised his voice again and repeated what he had just said.

"You're insane, Qi Yan! You're a complete lunatic, a heartless bastard! All those years of schooling have gone to waste! You don't even want your parents and your sister anymore?"

Qi Yan's silence was a silent answer to Shen Wanqing's question.

Qi Yan thought that saying these words would make him feel sad, but he didn't expect to feel so relieved.

It was as if he had broken free of an invisible shackle.

Shen Wanqing remained silent and returned to her room alone, without making a sound.

"Sisi, do you think I'm a cold-hearted person who doesn't even want family?"

Ji Sisi shook her head in denial, "No."

How could her Ayan be a cold person? He would do everything he could to give her the best.

From childhood to adulthood, she has endured the pressure of public opinion and the favoritism and cruelty of her parents on her own. Despite this, she has never complained and has never taken the initiative to sever ties with her family.

How could someone like that be a cold-hearted person?

They are all unworthy to be her family.

"It's getting late, you should go to sleep first, I'll come in later." Qi Yan raised his hand and ruffled her hair, forcing a smile.

"But I want you to be with me. You haven't been with me in so long."

Ji Sisi clung to his arm and acted coquettishly, not wanting to give him the chance to overthink things.

Qi Yan compromised, "Okay, you go in first, I'll go boil some water to take a bath, and then I'll come and keep you company."

"it is good."

Watching Ji Sisi enter the room, and the moment she disappeared, Qi Yan's smile vanished, replaced by a deep sense of bitterness and disappointment.

While the water was boiling, Qi Yan's childhood memories came to mind.

A thousand words were reduced to sighs, and the lingering obsessions and grievances disappeared with each sigh.

Qi Yan was determined; he absolutely could not let Sisi suffer any injustice like he had.
-
The next day, when Ji Sisi woke up, the person next to her was empty.

She didn't know whether Qi Yan had come in last night or not; she had only been lying in bed for a short while when she fell into a deep sleep.

"You're awake? I've brought breakfast back. Get up and eat it while it's hot."

Qi Yan entered the room, sat on the edge of the bed, and helped Ji Sisi sit up. "Are you hungry?"

Ji Sisi, still sleepy, leaned against him. "I'm hungry. What time did you come in last night?"

Around 11 o'clock.

Qi Yan didn't close the door, and Shen Wanqing saw the two of them being affectionate. Suddenly, Qi Yan's advice rang in her ears again.

"Mom, why don't you just apologize to your sister-in-law? Your brother listens to her, and maybe she can help you persuade him."

She didn't take those words to heart and chose to believe in herself.

Shen Wanqing couldn't sleep all night. At this moment, she felt as if she had truly lost Qi Yan.

The three finished their meal in silence, and Qi Yan left first.

Ji Sisi packed her things in the house, preparing to go to work.

Shen Wanqing almost couldn't help but lecture Ji Sisi again when she saw the unwashed dishes.

Seeing that Ji Sisi was about to leave, Shen Wanqing closed her eyes, hardened her heart, and called out to her, "Ji Sisi, I have something to say to you."

"Let's talk about it tonight, I don't have time."

Ji Sisi refused to communicate with Shen Wanqing.

This is her home, her territory, and Ji Sisi prioritizes her own feelings.

Shen Wanqing was speechless. She watched as Ji Sisi walked out the door without hesitation, without even turning her head once.
