Chapter 248: I Really Want to Strangle You

Qin Xiaotian was awakened by the Old Steward upon seeing the news.

At that moment, he was sitting on the big bed, watching the news.

“Is it her?” Qin Xiaotian just couldn’t believe it.

“It’s confirmed—she is the Young Madam.”

The Old Steward smiled warmly; this was a golden opportunity!

Qin Xiaotian’s face grew icy cold: “How could she have reverted to her original form again?”

The Old Steward was taken aback. What kind of remark was that?

It seemed the Young Master needed some proper guidance.

“Young Master, you should be focusing on the fact that your wife was snatched away by someone else, rather than doubting what she might have done here!”

Qin Xiaotian looked up, utterly puzzled: “She’s just a woman with a daughter—how can she go on secret rendezvous with a man while bringing her child along? What kind of propriety is that?”

“Don’t you think Shen Conghao looks somewhat familiar, Young Master?”
Qin Xiaotian glanced over: “The young master of the Shen Group?”

“Young Master, the Shen family is no ordinary clan—we even cooperate with them. If your wife has caught their eye, don’t you think it’s because she must possess some exceptional qualities that made them take such an interest?”

“…That’s right, isn’t it?”

Qin Xiaotian felt increasingly frustrated.

“This whole incident is too strange. Before releasing the news, these people should have first contacted the parties involved and tried to extort a settlement. But instead, they went in the opposite direction—there’s definitely something fishy going on.”

Qin Xiaotian calmed down: “Are you saying that the young master of the Shen Group deliberately released those photos?”

“That method may not be very clever, but it certainly worked. If it were me, I’d do the same—at least this way, it would create a misunderstanding on Ling Hanyu’s side. Then she’d naturally bring up divorce, and once your wife becomes single again, the Shen family would finally have a chance to step in.”

“Why would Shen Conghao do such a thing?”

At this point, Qin Xiaotian no longer believed that Song Qingtian was the kind of woman worth fighting over.

Although he did like Song Qingtian, she had a notorious reputation.

Who would willingly devote themselves wholeheartedly to someone like that?

The Old Steward was deeply troubled: “Don’t you think your wife is bold, daring, intelligent, and capable?”

Qin Xiaotian gave the Old Steward a faint glance, lost in thought.

Although Song Qingtian had indeed been quite bad in the past, she really was as the Old Steward described now.

“So what are you getting at?”

The Old Steward was nearly frantic.

“Young Master, why still don’t you understand? Even the worst person has qualities that make them likable. Your wife has so many endearing traits—why can’t others like her just as much as you do?”

A dark cloud settled over Qin Xiaotian’s handsome face.

The Old Steward’s meaning was now clear enough.

There was someone else who liked Song Qingtian just as much as he did.

Even though Song Qingtian wasn’t exactly a paragon of virtue, there were still plenty of people willing to eat even the stinkiest durians.

Qin Xiaotian’s expression grew even more grim: “She even said she liked me that day.”

“…” The Old Steward was speechless. Clearly, she had mistaken him for someone else that day—and the Young Master himself realized it afterward. Now, she was trying to pin the blame on him again.

Song Qingtian walked in and saw Ling Hanyu: “You’re back?”

Upon seeing him, Song Qingtian went over to greet Ling Hanyu.

Aunt Chen wanted to warn Song Qingtian.

But Ling Hanyu was right there on the sofa, within his line of sight—she didn’t dare say a word.

“Daddy, here’s a balloon for you, floaty-floaty!”

Ling Nuonuo loved balloons and happily handed one to Ling Hanyu.

Ling Hanyu patted his daughter’s head: “Daddy has something to talk to Mommy about.”

“Daddy, the balloon!”

Ling Nuonuo was full of anticipation.

Aunt Chen hurried over to Ling Nuonuo: “Nuonuo, let’s go hang up the balloon first, okay?”

“Okay!”

Ling Nuonuo eagerly followed Aunt Chen upstairs.

Song Qingtian wasn’t stupid—something must have happened.

Thinking back to how she’d seen Song Yinyin earlier in the day, and knowing that Song Yinyin had just broken up with Shen Conghao before getting together with him, she figured the problem must lie there.

Sure enough, that was where the trouble started.

The question was, though: Ling Hanyu hadn’t believed Song Yinyin before either—so why would he suddenly accept her story as solid evidence now?

Ling Hanyu unbuttoned his shirt and put down his phone.

Song Qingtian found it odd—did he really want to fight again?

Aunt Chen came in, and Song Qingtian glanced at the phone on the coffee table before turning around and heading out: “Let’s talk outside.”

She didn’t want their daughter to hear and get scared!

Ling Hanyu was furious and stepped out after her.

After walking a few steps outside, Song Qingtian turned to face Ling Hanyu: “What’s going on?”

“What do you think?”

Ling Hanyu’s face looked especially cold and stern in the darkness.

It was the first time Song Qingtian had ever seen him lose his composure like this.

But most likely, it all stemmed from the afternoon incident.

Still, if Ling Hanyu wouldn’t speak up, she couldn’t bring herself to say anything either.

“I don’t know what’s going on—why don’t you tell me?”

Song Qingtian sounded nonchalant, as if she weren’t afraid of boiling water at all.

Ling Hanyu grabbed her chin: “I really want to strangle you!”

Song Qingtian slowly raised her head, her chin throbbing painfully—but she wasn’t one to back down easily.
