Chapter 307: Chapter 305: Facing the Love Rival: Qin Zhao and I Are Family, You Know

"No, she must have experienced an illusion."

Qin Zhao was certain that there weren’t any ghosts in this place. Qin Kejing’s earlier behavior was due to a problem with her mental state—she had an episode of mental illness.

"Wasn’t she locked up? How did she get out?"

A few days ago, Qin Wan had mentioned that Qin Siyu came looking for her, wanting Qin Zhao to meet some big shot, hoping that the big shot could save Qin Kejing.

Chu Yan knew about this and had thought, if Qin Siyu came to Qin Wan again, he would definitely teach him a lesson.

To make his wife curry favor with some big shot, did that guy even deserve?

But after they returned to Imperial City, Qin Siyu hadn’t come looking for Qin Wan.

Now, Qin Kejing had already left the psychiatric hospital, and he didn’t know how she did it.

"I don’t know, the Shen Family is in for a headache now."

Qin Zhao couldn’t help but laugh schadenfreudically.

The phrase "let Shen Xihhe be unable to leave her for the rest of his life" that Qin Kejing just uttered wasn’t without weight. The eerie marriage line between them really might keep Shen Xihhe from leaving her.

Having calmed his startled mother, Shen Xihhe had planned to take her back. But then he saw Qin Zhao and Chu Yan dining here, with a delicate and cherished little toddle at the table as well.

Seeing this harmonious scene, Shen Xihhe inexplicably felt a twinge of pain in his heart.

He thought Tengshe was their child.

Little did he expect, not only had Qin Zhao gotten married in secret, she already had a child.

If he hadn’t broken off the engagement back then, would he be the one sitting here with Qin Zhao now? Strangely, he felt a sense of regret.

Had he known Qin Kejing would turn out like this, he would have never broken off the engagement with Qin Zhao for her sake.

Alas, there’s no medicine for regret in this world.

Everything he had to face now was the consequence of his own choices.

"Xihe, what are you staring at?"

Mrs. Shen noticed him standing still and couldn’t help but ask.

Then she couldn’t restrain herself from saying, "Qin Kejing’s mental illness is so scary—it was like a ghost possessed her just now. Don’t go seeing her anymore!

As soon as we get back home, I’m going to call Mrs. Qin and discuss breaking off the engagement!"

Hearing the words "possessed by a ghost," Shen Xihhe’s expression grew serious.

Thinking about the feelings in his own body, he still thought it was strange.

After reflecting for a moment, Shen Xihhe decided to have a chat with Qin Zhao.

"Isn’t that Qin Zhao? Son, why do you want to find her?"

Mrs. Shen pulled on Shen Xihhe, frowning.

Shen Xihhe then told Mrs. Shen about the strange things he had encountered.

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen’s mouth dropped open in surprise, "What? You never intended to take Qin Kejing out for dinner, yet you couldn’t control your own body? Could it be that you’ve been cursed!"

In an instant, both mother and son thought of the words uttered by the demented woman.

Could that crazy woman have done something to cause Xihe to become like this?

"Mom, I’ve heard that Qin Zhao can exorcise evil spirits and has helped the Criminal Police Team solve many supernatural cases. I plan to ask her and hope she can help solve this."

"Go on, then, hurry and ask her!"

Mrs. Shen didn’t hold Shen Xihhe back any longer, instead urging him to go find Qin Zhao.

At Qin Zhao’s table, they had almost finished eating and called the waiter over to pay the bill.

"The total cost is 1,245,000 yuan."

Because Qin Zhao and Chu Yan were watching a play, Tengshe ordered quite a few more items.

For an ordinary family, they would definitely be eaten out of house and home by this gluttonous snake.

Qin Zhao complained silently in her heart.

Just getting ready to pay, another waiter came over.

"Hello, a gentleman has already settled your bill."

"Who paid for it?"

Qin Zhao had just finished asking when Shen Xihhe and Mrs. Shen came over.

"It’s not often we run into you, so I took the liberty of picking up the tab. Last time I was in jeopardy, it was Qin Zhao who helped the Criminal Police Team solve the case, allowing me not to suffer injustice," Shen Xihhe said with a smile.

Chu Yan didn’t show any pleasant expression when he saw him, "Mr. Shen is being too courteous. Today is a family dinner for us, there’s no need for an outsider to pick up the check."

"I am still Jingjing’s fiancé, and Qin Zhao is Jingjing’s sister, so I’m hardly an outsider, right? This is just a gesture of my goodwill."

Chu Yan ignored his words and said to the waiter, "Refund his money, I’ll pay the bill."

Today, if anyone else had offered to pay, Chu Yan might have let it be.

But not when it was Shen Xihhe. Why should he let his least favorite person pay?

He wanted nothing to do with him!

Shen Xihhe stood there, his expression turning rather awkward.

Mrs. Shen looked at Qin Zhao and Chu Yan and spoke up, "Qin Zhao, is this your boyfriend? He is truly handsome and talented. Our Xihe is far inferior to him; your taste is really good. Today, Xihe taking care of the bill is nothing personal. Thinking of the past debts owed to you, now seeing you so happy, I feel relieved, so I let him take care of the bill as a treat.

Mr. Chu, please don’t misunderstand, the gesture was my idea."

Qin Zhao looked coldly at the mother and son before her, "What kind of people you two are, I’m well aware. There’s no need for phony reminiscing here. If you have something to say, then say it."

In fact, she had already guessed their motive and didn’t mind them trying to ingratiate themselves by intentionally offering to pay.

However, she didn’t stop Chu Yan from having the waiter refund the money.

Since Chu Yan minded, and he had money to burn anyway, it was fine to let him pay.

Mrs. Shen and Shen Xihhe exchanged a glance before Mrs. Shen spoke seriously, "May we sit down and talk? This is quite a serious matter, and we really don’t know how to resolve it.

I’ve heard that you, Qin Zhao, are a professional, and if you could help our Xihe with this issue, the compensation would be no problem. If you still resent me for making Xihe break off the engagement, I can also offer a public apology."

Mrs. Shen had her son in her heart and eyes, all her plans were made with her son’s welfare in mind. She might have hurt the original owner in the past, but now, for her son’s safety, she was willing to swallow her pride and apologize.

Qin Zhao said indifferently, "You don’t need to apologize, it’s been so long since that happened, I’ve long stopped caring."

The one who liked Shen Xihhe wasn’t her, but the original owner.

What good would an apology from Shen Xihhe’s mother do now?

The original owner wouldn’t know.

"Are you referring to the matter with Qin Kejing? Has your son been exhibiting some strange behavior after his recent contact with her? Does he sometimes lose control over himself, clearly intending to break off the engagement and not wanting to deal with her, but for some reason he can’t help but treat her well?"

"Yes, exactly! Sometimes he can’t control himself. He clearly wants to break off the engagement and not pay her any attention. But somehow, he still ends up treating her well uncontrollably," Mrs. Shen felt she hadn’t described the situation accurately enough, so she asked Shen Xihhe to explain it himself.

Shen Xihhe then described the feeling, which was that when he was kind to Qin Kejing, he was completely unaware that he was doing so.

He suddenly came to his senses today, remembering those things, and didn’t feel like it was something he had done.

It was as if someone was controlling his body.

Promising Qin Kejing not to break off the engagement and treating her with utmost care, even taking her out for meals.
