Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Su Kexin is Going to Marry Qin Jinhai

Xiaomei ran to open the door.

Outside was Yang Ningzheng, who had previously sought medicine.

When Yang Ningzheng saw Fu Bing was also there, he smiled and said, "I was passing by and thought Miss Fu and Xiaomei might be here, so I came over to see how you two were doing."

"Thank you for thinking of us. Please, have a seat."

Yang Ningzheng had emerged as a prominent figure in Jiangcheng over the last few years, collaborating with various major families in the city.

At the same time, he belonged to none of these families.

Seeing there was a guest, Uncle He prepared an extra portion of food.

Under his stern gaze, Fu Bing finished a large bowl of medicinal soup.

It was so bitter that her face puckered up.

She said coquettishly, "Why is it so bitter today? Uncle He, do you and Aunt Ning not love me anymore?"

"This is how disobedient children must be treated," Uncle He feigned anger but eventually couldn’t help the corners of his eyes crinkling into a smile.

That’s what family is like. No matter how angry you are, if that person acts a little spoiled, even the greatest anger dissipates.

Yang Ningzheng watched the interaction between Fu Bing and Uncle He, finding himself captivated.

Fu Bing noticed Yang Ningzheng’s gaze and looked up at him.

Realizing he had been impolite, Yang Ningzheng said, "Actually, I came about another matter. I heard Miss Fu is looking for a house. As it happens, I own a villa that’s been renovated but never lived in. It’s located near Imperial Garden, convenient for travel. If you’re interested, you can take a look. Miss Fu can decide on the rent. Of course, if Miss Fu would prefer, she can also pay the market price."

Yang Ningzheng had not intended to charge for the villa. But since he and Fu Bing weren’t close, not asking for payment might make her wary.

"Thank you, President Yang, for your generosity. One of my family members has mobility issues and uses a wheelchair full-time, so we need a villa that is accessible and adapted for seniors. More importantly, they also have to like it. We appreciate your kind offer, President Yang."

"In that case, my villa indeed does not meet your requirements. However, I can keep an eye out for you."

"I’d appreciate that."

Yang Ningzheng didn’t want to overstay his welcome, so he left after the meal.

Seeing Xiaomei and Uncle He still looking at her, Fu Bing smiled and said, "I’ve gotten my properties back. I have a villa near Wangjiang Pavilion. Xiaomei, find a designer to start on the renovations."

"Sis, did you agree to some demand from Qin Jinhai...?"

"What’s between him and me can’t be explained in just a few words," Fu Bing shifted the topic. "There are more and more people around us now, so we need to be more careful. In front of me, you can act like a child, even be a bit spoiled, but when you’re out, you need to act like an adult."

Xiaomei nodded, "I understand. But I’m worried about you."

Qin Jinhai definitely isn’t harboring good intentions; otherwise, why would he suddenly return Sister’s assets?

Fu Bing knew Xiaomei was worried.

She didn’t want to explain, nor did she know how.

Xiaomei wanted to say more, but Uncle He pulled her away.

Fu Bing returned to her room and took out the finished wedding dress design sketches from a locked cabinet.

She digitized them and had Ying send them to Qin Jinhai.

Fu Bing gazed at the intricate and well-proportioned design of the wedding attire.

Tears suddenly fell, uncontrollably.

She had become Qin Jinhai’s lover.

Yet she had to embroider a wedding dress for him.

He wasn’t marrying Li Qing, nor any female star from the entertainment industry. The one he was going to marry was... Su Kexin!

Su Jiang returned from the sanatorium, his face sullen.

Except for Su Kexin, no one in the Su Family dared to appear before him at this moment.

After massaging Su Jiang, Su Kexin’s eyes turned red.

"Dad, I was too reckless yesterday. I angered the person who could save Mom, and that’s why you’re so upset. I really deserve to die."

Su Jiang waved his hand. "It’s not your fault. Fu Bing has received so many favors from the Su Family, yet she still acts on her emotions. She’s not someone to associate with from the start."

"But what if she really could cure Mom’s illness?"

"If she truly had that ability, she wouldn’t have damaged her health giving birth in prison and become infertile."

"Is that true?" Su Kexin’s eyes widened.

"When she was released from prison, she immediately went for a check-up at the hospital where your mother is. The director personally showed me her medical report; there’s no mistake."

A flicker of joy sparked in Su Kexin’s heart, but she said aloud, "Then she’s doomed for life. No matter how much a man might like her, it would only be for amusement. And since she can’t have children, they wouldn’t even need to be careful when they’re together."

Su Jiang nodded.

"So you needn’t worry about her having a future with Qin Jinhai. Qin Jinhai’s father would never let him marry Fu Bing. If he had been willing to agree, he would have done so three years ago."

Su Kexin’s cheeks flushed red.

"Dad, what are you talking about? You and Mom not only adopted me but raised me as your own daughter. I can never repay your kindness in my lifetime; I can’t bear to leave you."

Su Jiang chuckled. "Children eventually grow up and leave their parents to live their own lives. It’s just that Qin Jinhai’s ambiguous relationship with Fu Bing truly bothers me. Qin Jinmo, on the other hand, doesn’t have such complications with women. Qin Jinhai might be talented, but he’s too calculating and difficult to manage. If you marry him, you’ll inevitably suffer in ways we can’t protect you from."

He had seen the surveillance footage from last night: Fu Bing on Sully Road, leaving with Qin Jinhai.

Su Kexin’s eyes gleamed as an idea struck her.

"Dad, this can be easily handled."

"Let’s hear it."

"Didn’t Fu Bing rush off to find Qin Jinhai the moment she left our house? We can tell Old Master Qin or Madam Qin about this. Just let them know about her scandalous behavior, and they’ll deal with her."

Su Jiang nodded repeatedly after listening.

"That’s an excellent method. Using others to eliminate those you dislike, without getting your own hands dirty."

"I’m glad you don’t think my method is too extreme."

"It’s the best approach for now. Both our families are interested in you marrying Qin Jinhai, though it hasn’t been openly acknowledged yet. It wouldn’t be appropriate for you to be the one to do this. It seems the Qin Family might be considering abandoning Qin Jinhai as the family head. If Qin Jinhai doesn’t become the head of the family, would you still be willing to marry him?"

Su Jiang himself hesitated.

With the Su Family’s support, Kexin wouldn’t be mistreated in the Qin Family, even if she didn’t marry their family head. However, wealth and power change a person. Without the position of family head, Qin Jinhai might not maintain his current demeanor. If he became psychologically imbalanced, Kexin would be the one to suffer.

"I..."

Su Kexin hesitated.

"Think it over carefully before you answer me. Until you’ve made up your mind, don’t get involved in Qin Jinhai and Fu Bing’s affairs. That’s something his future wife should handle."

Su Kexin looked embarrassed.

"I understand, Dad."

"Call your third brother here. I have something to arrange for him."

Su Kexin left reluctantly.

But inside, she was very dissatisfied with Su Jiang’s approach. He knew I liked Qin Jinhai, but he was unwilling to help him secure his position as the head of the Qin Family. That way, I wouldn’t have to choose, and I could even deal with Fu Bing myself!

Su Kexin went downstairs and said irritably to Su Junling, "Director Su, Dad wants to see you upstairs."

Su Junling didn’t respond and quickly went upstairs.

Upon seeing him come in, Su Jiang pointed to a spot by the window.

"Sit."

Su Junling sat down.

"If you’re free today, arrange to meet Fu Bing alone. Ask her to visit your mother at the hospital and see if she has any way to treat her illness."
