Chapter 158 – Did The Boss Have A Stepmother too? (3)

Welp, there was no reason to go on with this conversation, so Yan Shuyu was about to get up and walk away again. Nonetheless, before she was able to act upon it, the rich woman sitting across from her chuckled. Most likely thinking that now that she had put Yan Shuyu in her place, she can now move onto her main purpose. 

She tapped the table top with her index finger that has an emerald green ring on it. With a shred of impatience in her disdainful voice, she said, “Out with it, what would it take for you to leave Qinhe?”

Yan Shuyu, who was just about to walk away, sat back down docilely. She couldn’t help but ask, “So you are Boss Zhou’s mother?”

What a familiar development. 

A hint of annoyance caused by shame flashed past the eyes of Qin Luoyi, the rich woman.

She felt that her daughter and Boss Zhou were a match made in heaven. As long as she could take care of this little wench in front of her, she would naturally become Boss Zhou’s mother-in-law in due time. But they were, after all, not related at the moment. Yan Shuyu’s question made Qin Luoyi feel that she was being challenged and insulted. 

Qin Luoyi didn’t originally think that it had to be Zhou Qinhe. With his high status, if this was to be his first marriage, even her nieces from her side of the family might not be good enough for him. But now that it was his second marriage, they would have a shot at it. She must at least try to fight for her daughter. 

She did understand the concept that certain things could not be forced. She even had a talk with Xie Yuxuan while they were looking into Yan Shuyu. Had that woman been halfway decent, they would have given up. There was no need to make enemies even if they couldn’t marry into the family. 

Welp, it probably would have been better had they never looked into Yan Shuyu at all. The result they had gotten truly startled them. The woman with Zhou Qinhe was not only unacceptable, she was despicable like mud that people spit on – born to the lower class, came from a poor family, barely half literate, a widow with a kid, and worked in the red-light district previously. Nevermind that this woman wasn’t good enough for Zhou Qinhe, she was too dirty to even carry her daughter’s shoes for her. 

It was so obvious that a woman like that would never marry into the Zhou’s, so why should they back off of such an ideal son-in-law like Zhou Qinhe for a woman like that?

Qin Luoyi felt a strong feeling of unjust. 

Even so, she didn’t need to stoop so low as to come to talk to Yan Shuyu in person. Boss Zhou wouldn’t marry her one way or another. All they needed to do was to maintain a good relationship with Boss Zhou and never needed to acknowledge the existence of this woman. 

Except some additional information from Xie Yuxuan really bothered Qin Luoyi – the day of their first meeting happened to be the coffee shop where this wench had just started working at. She even acted very innocently and performed for them. Boss Zhou had never asked Yuxuan out again after that. According to their investigations, he had been visiting the coffee shop frequently since then. 

What the heck was that? Did that woman just use her daughter as the springboard to steal her daughter’s man?

Qin Luoyi wasn’t going to let that slide. She might not have a great marriage and that her husband didn’t have very high status among their circle, but back in the days, she was the Qin’s Young Miss. How could she allow a wench like that to walk all over herself and her daughter?

That was the reason Qin Luoyi decided to come and meet Yan Shuyu in person. 

That was, of course, only a small part of the reasons. A more important one was that Yan Shuyu had started presenting a threat to Qin Luoyi.
