Trouble and misfortunes never came alone, while blessings never came in a pair. There were some troubles that always found their way in somehow. When this happened, the only thing Zhai Hua was thankful for was that her family was the one getting targeted, not her.

“I’m sorry, but you can’t enter.” The people in the courtyard held Qiu Chenxi back, preventing her from meeting the Zhai family. It could be said that Qiu Chenxi was first on the Zhai family’s blacklist. No matter where they went, the Zhai family did not find it bothersome or embarra.s.sing, and they would always make a point to blacklist Qiu Chenxi.

Of course, the moment Qiu Chenxi returned to Ping Cheng and tried to enter, she was denied entry.

Qiu Chenxi, who was being barred from entering everywhere, was in a foul mood. At this time, she could not help but reminisce about how it had been in the three years that she had been married to Zhai Sheng. At that time, it was as though she held a green pa.s.s in her hands. No matter where she went, she never heard the word ‘no’.

“Why don’t you understand? I-I’m part of this family. Don’t you know? What right do you have to stop me from going back to my own house?” Qiu Chenxi was frustrated. After marrying Zhai Sheng, she had only stayed in this house for a few days before moving to the capital. In the capital, she had stayed in the military courtyard. At that time, Qiu Chenxi had been extremely proud and happy about that.

Now that many years had pa.s.sed, it seemed that the soldiers of the military compound had changed and they did not recognize her as the Zhai family’s daughter-in-law who had been part of the Zhai family for three years. Qiu Chenxi could not do anything about this.

“Since there is such a person in the Zhai family, why don’t you tell me your name? I can help you ask Chief Zhai’s family.” The soldier was resolute and refused to let Qiu Chenxi in. Even though Qiu Chenxi insisted that she was part of the Zhai family, the soldier refused to back down.

“I…” Because she had been looked at in a different light after mentioning her name previously, Qiu Chenxi was reluctant to reveal her ident.i.ty. After meeting with dead-ends a few times, Qiu Chenxi realized that she had been blacklisted by the Zhai family.

Qiu Chenxi was upset. She had indeed committed a mistake while she was younger. But that was all in the past. She was sensible now and would not make any more mistakes. Did the Zhai family think that their reputation was more important than Zhai Sheng’s happiness and partner? How selfis.h.!.+

“Fine. Tell the Zhai family that I’m from the Qi family.” Qiu Chenxi used her mother’s surname instead of her own surname. Qiu Chenxi had no other choice. The Zhai family had such a strong opinion against her, but if they knew that the person who came was her mother, they would probably not be as stubborn since they had been friends for decades.

“Please wait here for a moment. I’ll help you ask them.” The soldier was not deliberately trying to embarra.s.s her, but he could not possibly allow just anyone to enter. However, asking Chief Zhai’s family if they approved of this visitor would do no harm.

“Someone from the Qi family?” When Zhai Sheng first heard this name, he had not realized what was going on. But once he caught sight of Zhai Yaohui, he finally regained his senses. There was only one person with that surname who had contact with the Zhai family. Zhai Sheng was not a ‘gossipmonger’, and the moment he heard the name, he handed the phone over to Zhai Yaohui. It would be up to his father whether he wanted to see that person with the surname ‘Qi’.

The moment Zhai Yaohui heard that someone from the Qi family had come to find him, the person who came to his mind at once was Qi Minlan. But his impression of her now was completely different. “I don’t want to see her.”

At that time, Qi Minlan had created so much trouble but he had not even taken issue with that. In the end, Qi Minlan had even raised a daughter like Qiu Chenxi to harm his son! He never wanted to see that woman again in this lifetime. If he were really to meet her, Miao Miao would definitely not take it lying down.

For the sake of his family’s peace, Zhai Yaohui would be a fool to meet Qi Minlan.

Having been rejected even after she used the Qi family’s name, Qiu Chenxi was in a horrible mood. She was right in front of the Zhai family’s house. That was her in-law’s house, but she was being barred from entering it! Was there anything worse than not being able to return home?

Since she could not even meet them, Qiu Chenxi had no other way of begging for the Zhai family’s forgiveness to allow Zhai Sheng to get back together with her. Since there was nothing else she could do, Qiu Chenxi returned to the Qiu family’s house after achieving nothing.

Upon arriving at the Qiu family’s house, Qiu Chenxi saw only her mom. Her dad was not at home. “Did my dad go out to find that vixen and his son again?” What was so good about having a son? She could not understand what her dad was thinking. “Once I reconcile with Zhai Sheng, my dad should never think of getting any benefits from the Zhai family because of me. He should just rely on that son of his if he wants to get promoted or get rich in the future!”

If she could turn back time, she would never have tried to carry her family up when she had just gotten married for the sake of elevating her status so that she would match up to Zhai Sheng. Her dad had betrayed their family and had found a woman who had given birth to his son! Her dad was not worth her help!

“…” Qi Minlan was speechless after hearing her daughter’s optimistic words. “It’s been a month. Have you met the Zhai family or spoken to Zhai Sheng?” She had to have made slight progress after so much effort.

Qiu Chenxi’s expression darkened. “It’s not as if you don’t know the kind of people the Zhai family is and the kind of habits they have. They don’t like going out and won’t visit others. Even waiting at their door won’t be that easy. But I don’t know why the Zhai family suddenly returned to Ping Cheng yesterday. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have returned either. I’ve already asked my friends to find out what’s going on in the Zhai family. I’m guessing that Zhai Hua must have gotten into some trouble, and that’s why the entire family made their way back here.”

Thinking about how Zhai Hua had been so arrogant and dismissive toward her when she had first gotten married to Zhai Sheng, Qiu Chenxi was enraged. If Zhai Hua was truly down on her luck now, Qiu Chenxi felt that this was simply retribution for her att.i.tude back then.

Marrying Wei De was the most stupid thing Zhai Hua could have done. Zhai Hua’s family background was outstanding, while Wei De’s family background was terrible. Zhai Hua would have to suffer a lot because of Wei De. Her mom did not have much for her dad to take advantage of, but her dad had always relied on her and her mom to rise to his status today. Even so, he had found himself a mistress who had even given birth to his son!

Given Zhai Hua’s relations.h.i.+p with Wei De, it was only a matter of time before Wei De would no longer be able to tolerate Zhai Hua’s power and would similarly find himself a mistress to give birth to his son.
