Chapter 5538: Chapter 5538: Understood

At that point, Qin Dingkang was almost certain that his wife had misunderstood Ye Jian.

After pondering for a few seconds to confirm whether his wife had misunderstood, Qin Dingkang asked with a smile, "You keep insisting that Miss Ye is deliberately trying to climb up the social ladder by attaching herself to the Qin family and even wants to marry Xiu, so let me ask..."

"What do you want to ask? Do you even need to ask anything more? Could it be that after all I’ve said, you haven’t listened at all? Do you think I’m lying and trying to stir up trouble between you and your mother’s relationship?"

Madam Qin almost slammed the table, but she managed to restrain herself. Instead, she tightly clenched her fist against the dressing table, her eyes cold as she stared at her husband, "What else do you want to ask?"

"Calm down, calm down." Seeing his wife getting angry, Qin Dingkang stood up with a good-natured smile, walked over, and took Madam Qin’s shoulders, pulling her to his chest, "We’re just talking here, why are you so upset?"

His gentle gesture instantly extinguished the fire rising in Madam Qin’s heart. She lightly punched his back while coldly chuckling, "Fine, fine, I knew you would have many questions, go ahead, ask."

"I’ll ask, have you ever seen Miss Ye alone with Xiu? Have you seen Miss Ye closely following Xiu? Or like Miss Du from the Du family, appearing wherever Xiu is? Have you seen her behaving inappropriately towards Xiu or speaking ambiguously?"

...

She really hadn’t seen any of that!

With those few questions, Madam Qin didn’t even know how to respond.

From Madam Qin’s expression alone, Ambassador Qin Dingkang was completely clear; namely, she had never seen any of it. She hadn’t even seen Miss Ye speaking alone with Xiu, much less engaging in inappropriate behaviors!

Seeing that Madam Qin was still upset, Qin Dingkang did not want to spoil her mood on the first day of the New Year. He released his wife and sat back down beside the bed, sighing, "My dear, don’t worry so much, you should take good care of yourself."

Unable to provide an answer, Madam Qin threw down her comb onto the dressing table and thought deeply. Although she hadn’t witnessed any intimate interaction between the girl and Xiu, if she was truly decent, why then, would she sometimes be seen with Little Six from the Xia family and occasionally with Old Man Xia’s grandson?

Furthermore, Du Jiayi had also mentioned that she was a ruthless and selfish person who could act unscrupulously!

After some thought, Madam Qin turned to her husband sitting on the bed and reminded, "About your queries, I indeed haven’t seen any of it. But listen carefully to what I say, there’s no need to thank Miss Ye anymore, and if Old Madam suggests recognizing Miss Ye as your goddaughter again, you must refuse!"

"Did you hear me clearly? You are not allowed to deceive me; you must stand with me in this matter! I will find out for myself, and you must not intervene!"

"Alright, alright, I understand, I definitely won’t readily agree to what Old Madam has said," Qin Dingkang replied, nodding his head, though he tended to believe Old Madam’s side more.

After those few questions, Qin Dingkang was even more convinced that his wife misunderstood.

But...

Ye Jian, Ye Jian... Something’s not right—this name... Somehow it seems... familiar.

Ye Jian? Ye Jian?

It really does seem like I’ve heard it somewhere.

But just couldn’t recall in the moment.
