After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

Qiao Xing stared at her and could guess who made the call just by looking at her reaction.

"Aqin, why don't you answer the call? Is it your husband calling?" my aunt said aloud.

Wang Qin trembled and took out her phone. It was a knock-off touch-screen phone. The phone case was worn and stained, just like her withered hands.

Seeing the caller ID, Wang Qin immediately hung up the phone and turned off the phone.

Wang Ye couldn't stand it any longer. He said, "Auntie, why didn't you call the police?"

Wang Qin's face turned ugly. She hesitated and said, "I called the police... He threatened me..."

When he called the police for the first time, he threatened Wang Qin to strangle Lin Xi to death and kill her and her mother together.

Lin Xi was still so young. She didn't dare to call the police if she had any money on her.

"Hey, what kind of man is this?" Wang Ye was a little indignant.

Auntie asked again: "What should we do about that, Xingxing? Your mother is here. They probably haven't eaten in the past two days. Why don't you take them out to eat?"

It was already nine o'clock when Wang Qin arrived here, and they had already eaten. Seeing her virtuous attitude, her aunt was too lazy to make fresh meals for the mother and daughter.

He kept asking Wang Qin around and asked him all about Wang Qin's experiences over the years.

"I..." Qiao Xing glanced at Qin Ce subconsciously.

Qin Ce had already put away his phone and walked over. He looked at Qiao Xing's troubled face and could naturally see her embarrassment.

"Let's go, I'm hungry too." Qin Ce said, "The restaurant will be closed later."

To be honest, after Wang Yue said so much just now, Qiao Xing didn't shed any tears. Only Qin Ce's words made her eyes sore.

The aunt played the role of peacemaker and pushed Wang Qin and her daughter towards Qiao Xing, "Go quickly, go quickly, I have been riding in the car for two days, I must be starving, go and eat quickly."

Qiao Xing lowered his head and followed Qin Ce.

She felt very sorry for Qin Ce, and at the same time she didn't know how to deal with this matter. If Wang Qin had really ignored her all these years.

Then she would never exchange another word with Wang Qin, and Wang Yue's words pushed her into a dilemma.

Helping Wang Qin made her feel sorry for what she had experienced over the years. Not helping Wang Qin made her look ruthless and hard-hearted.

It seems that no matter what you do, you will be criticized.

Several people were silent and came downstairs.

Fortunately, Qin Ce brought the BMW, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sit down.

Qin Ce opened the car door and said to Wang Qin, "Get up."

Wang Qin glanced at Qin Ce gratefully and pulled Lin Xi to sit on him.

He went to open the door for Qiao Xing again, but before opening the door, Qiao Xing took his hand. She looked at him as if she had something to say.

Qin Ce held her hand instead, opened the car door and said, "Get in the car first, and we'll talk about it when we get back."

Qiao Xing pursed her lips and carefully observed his expression, but there was no change.

She lowered her head and got into the car.

It was now close to twelve o'clock, and except for those night stalls and food stalls, almost all restaurants were closed.

There were no people on the road and only a few cars.

Qin Ce drove around and found a food stall with good business near the industrial area. He parked the car on the side of the road and led a few people inside.

Qiao Xing didn't say anything at the table, and Wang Qin was too embarrassed to speak.

Qin Ce asked the boss for a menu and handed it to Wang Qin, "Take a look and order what you want."

Wang Qin smiled bitterly and pushed the menu back, "You order it, we can all do it."

"Where's the child? Let her see."

Wang Qin looked at Lin Xi next to him, hesitated for a moment, and took the menu, "Xiao Xi, take a look and see if there is anything you like. Don't order too much."

Lin Xi stared at the menu for a while, then stretched out a finger and clicked on the crispy pork and rose ice powder.

Both of these were not expensive, but they were things she had always wanted to eat but had never had.

Wang Qin returned the menu to Qin Ce, "Just those two."

Qin Ce nodded and asked, "Are there any taboos?"

Wang Qin hurriedly shook her head, "No."

"Then I'll order whatever I want." Qin Ce looked at the menu and saw that he ordered everything himself and had to write it down in his notebook.

He picked up the pen and wrote down a few dishes in a flash, and he didn't know if the boss could understand them.

After writing, he took the menu and notebook and went over there to find the boss.

As soon as he left, Wang Qin and the others were left on the table.

Qiao Xing didn't speak or look at her. He turned his head to look at the people punching outside.

Wang Qin opened her mouth, but stopped talking several times.

Until Qin Ce came back, she couldn't speak.

"Your name is Qin..." Wang Qin forgot his name.

"Qin Ce."

Wang Qin looked at Qin Ce with complicated eyes, and finally nodded, "It's good. The stars are lucky to find a good husband like you."

She has a somewhat submissive appearance, and her experiences over the years have long since smoothed all her edges.

She is no longer the young woman who walked with a wind in her eyes, but has become a middle-aged woman who has been through many hardships and is over fifty years old.

Like most mediocre women at the bottom, their backs have been bent by life.

Qin Ce was silent, then glanced at Qiao Xing beside him, and said, "It's my blessing, and I have to thank you for giving birth to such a good daughter for me to meet."

A wry smile appeared on Wang Qin's face and she stopped talking.

After the food was served, Lin Xi took the plate of crispy pork and placed it in front of her. She didn't even use chopsticks and just grabbed it with her hands.

I stuffed each piece into my mouth and devoured it as if I had never eaten before.

Qin Ce served a bowl of casserole crab paste porridge to Qiao Xing, "You should eat some too."

Qiao Xing wasn't very hungry. She just wanted to find something to do for herself, so she drank the porridge in her bowl.

Qin Ce took out his mobile phone and worked on it for a few minutes. Then he raised his head and said to Wang Qin: "Auntie, I have booked a hotel for you. I will take you there after dinner."

"Oh, don't bother me. I still have some money, so I can just find a place to live by myself."

Qin Ce said: "It doesn't matter, it's been decided. It's inconvenient for you to walk outside so late with a child."

"Then...then thank you, Xiaoce."

"You're welcome, let's eat first."

Qin Ce ordered a bit too much, he and Qiao Xing barely moved, and Wang Qin and her daughter couldn't finish their food.

There was a lot left, so Wang Qin asked the boss for a packing box and packed the rest.

"Boss, how much is it?" Wang Qin said, going to touch the cash in his pocket.

The boss smiled and said: "This handsome guy has already paid."

Wang Qin glanced at Qin Ce, his face even more embarrassed.

"Xiao Ce, I'm really troubling you. Today I..."

Qin Ce stood up and said: "No need to say this, let's go, I will take you to the hotel first."

Wang Qin's face was complicated and guilty. She pulled Lin Xi and walked out with Qin Ce silently.

Qin Ce sent them to the hotel, went to the front desk to book a room in person, handed the room card to Wang Qin, and asked the waiter to take them to the elevator.

Only then did he look at Qiao Xing.

"Everything has been arranged, let's go back." Qin Ce walked to Qiao Xing and looked down at her face.

She lowered her head, and the broken hair scattered around her ears blocked her expression.

"You booked such an expensive hotel." Qiao Xing finally said his first words.

"It's okay, it's just a few hundred yuan."

Qiao Xing turned around and walked out of the hotel. After waiting outside, she suddenly stopped and looked back at Qin Ce.

There was a glimmer of struggle in her eyes, and after a moment, she said, "Qin Ce, how about we get a divorce."
