Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 17

The next day, both Qiu Mu-Cheng and Master Qiu were discharged from the hospital.

Qiu Mu-Cheng wanted to return to the Qiu’s family house to visit her grandfather, but changed her mind when she reached the gate.

“We’re already at the gate. Don’t you want to go in?” Ye Fan asked.

Qiu Mu-Cheng shook her head and smiled self-deprecatingly. “No. When grandfather sees me, it will only make him mad. I was the one who got the Qiu family into trouble.” After saying her piece, she returned home.

At that moment, Ye Fan’s phone vibrated. It was a text message from Li Er. “Young Master Fan, I’ve followed your instruction. It’s done.” Ye Fan lifted his head and looked at the Qiu’s family house. He smiled ambiguously and left.

The Qiu’s family house.

Although Master Qiu had already left the hospital, the rest of the Qiu family were still hanging around him.

Right now, the eldest and fourth Qiu brothers were in prison. The second and youngest brothers were not around. And Qiu Lei, Qiu Mu-Cheng’s father, was just useless. He did not even dare to visit the family house. Only Master Qiu was left to support the family in its time of need.

“Tell me, do you think we have underestimated Ye Fan?”

“Even the Shens were so servile to him. This Ye Fan could be a hidden dragon!”

“Perhaps, the calamity we are facing now has nothing to do with the Shen family. Maybe it is Ye Fan’s revenge on us?”

The person speaking was the only daughter of the patriarch and Qiu Mu-Cheng’s paternal aunt, Qiu Huan.

“Hmph, what kind of bullshit big shot is he?”

“This Ye Fan is just a useless piece of trash. If he’s somebody important, then my Ying-Ying is the First Lady. Obviously, the Shen family had made a mistake. The person they were looking for is our Wen- Fei.” Wang Qiao-Yu’s face was still swollen, but she had already forgotten the lesson taught to her at the hospital. She was still insisting that the Shens had made a mistake.

The other Qius kept their peace. Obviously they were skeptical of Wang Qiao-Yu’s judgement.

After all, even if the Shens had made a mistake when they thought that Ye Fan was Chu Wen-Fei, how could they have mistaken Qiu Mu-Cheng for Qiu Mu-Ying? All of them remembered that the Shens had kowtowed to Qiu Mu-Cheng.

“Wen-Fei, say something. Tell your uncles and aunties that you were the one who settled the issue with the Shen family.” When she saw that the others did not believe her, Wang Qiao-Yu angrily demanded Chu Wen-Fei to speak up.

“Dad!”

“Uncle Luo~”

“Uncle Guang!”

“You are back?”

But just as the Qius were discussing the events that had taken place at the hospital, two persons walked into the meeting. Qiu Mu-Ying and the others recognized the new arrivals, and joyously welcomed them.

“Guang and Luo, what happened? How come you are out so soon?” Master Qiu was pleasantly surprised but, at the same time, confused.

“Dad, we will explain later. Where’s Wen-Fei? Luo and I have to thank Wen-Fei properly.” Qiu Guang started looking for Chu Wen-Fei the moment he arrived.

Finally, the two Qiu brothers almost knelt down in front of Chu Wen-Fei.

“Dad, uncle, don’t do this. It will be most unfilial of me if I let my elders kneel down in front of me!” Chu Wen-Fei was completely stupefied when he saw his uncles-in-law attempting to kneel in front of him. He was so frightened that he stopped them immediately.

“Wen-Fei, this time, the Qiu family has to thank you!”

“You are the savior of our family.”

“Without you, we would never have overcome this trial!”

When Qiu Guang and Qiu Luo thought about the events that had happened that night, they still had lingering fears. When Qiu Guang had been arrested, he had thought that was the end of the Qiu family.

But, to his surprise, they had been released this morning. Not only them, but the Qiu family warehouses had also been reopened.

When they had left the public security bureau, Qiu Guang and Qiu Luo had met Shen Jiu-Yi. And he had told them, “If it wasn’t for Mister Chu’s magnanimity, your family would have been destroyed.”

“Rejoice, for your family is fortunate enough to have a son-in-law like Mister Chu!”

And that had told the Qiu brothers everything they needed to know about the situation, including the identity of their savior.

In the Qiu family, there was only one person with the Chu surname. It could only be Chu Wen-Fei. And that was why the Qiu brothers had thanked Chu Wen-Fei upon their return.

“Damn, it’s really Wen-Fei!”

“Wen-Fei’s family is so powerful that they can even handle the Shen family?”

“Our family has an excellent son-in-law indeed.” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Wen-Fei, you are the savior of our family.”

All at once, after the Qiu brothers’ confirmation, everyone’s suspicion was dispelled and they competed to offer thanks to Chu Wen-Fei.

Wang Qiao-Yu and Qiu Mu-Ying were both overjoyed.

“Heh, I have said it before. Our Wen-Fei is the one who saved our family. And you didn’t believe me? And you even gave credit to that piece of trash, Ye Fan. Do you believe me now?” Wang Qiao-Yu said smugly.

“That’s right, my husband is the best! The Shens obviously made a mistake yesterday. They should have kowtowed to my husband. But that useless trash Ye Fan took advantage of their mistake.” Qiu Mu-Ying raised her chin proudly.

The Qius were all smiling, but Chu Wen-Fei failed to raise his spirits.

What was going on?

How did he become the savior of the Qiu family?

The important thing was that Chu Wen-Fei did not remember doing anything to help.

Could it be the phone call I made to my father?

Damn. When did my father become so powerful that he can take care of the Shen family of Yunzhou?

Chu Wen-Fei basked in happiness when he thought about this. He decided to accept that it was his father who had lent a helping hand.

“Hahaha~”

“Uncle and auntie, it was nothing. We are all family. There is no need to stand on ceremony.”

After some consideration, Chu Wen-Fei decided to stop being humble. It was time to show off.

The Qiu family had just survived a crisis, so the mood was jubilant. That night, the Qiu family members gathered for dinner.

At the family banquet, Master Qiu sighed as he looked at the empty spots where Qiu Lei and his family were supposed to be seated. “Tomorrow, give Mu-Cheng a call. Tell her to return to the company. She is still a daughter of the Qiu family after all. Even broken bones are held together by tendons and blood is thicker than water.”

In the past, Qiu Mu-Cheng had been Master Qiu’s favorite granddaughter. But due to some reasons, he had become disappointed in her. But, despite his disappointment, he did miss his granddaughter.

Master Qiu’s suggestion, however, was not well-received by the other family members. Qiu Mu-Ying and her family were especially opposed to this idea. But Master Qiu ignored the voices of dissent and stood firmly by his decision to let Qiu Mu-Cheng return.

“Nevermind, we are one family after all. Let’s not quibble with her. If she wants to return, let her.”

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Come, let us all toast Wen-Fei. He single-handedly turned back the tide and save the Qiu family.”

And so the Qius raised their cups toward Chu Wen-Fei.

And he decided not to be shy about taking credit for his success, so he accepted their toasts. Basking in the limelight, Chu Wen-Fei looked the very picture of success and he was contented.

Damn. Showing off felt really good!

After a while, a messenger sent by Shen Jiu-Yi arrived with an invitation for Master Qiu.

“What happened before was my fault. I have failed to bring up my son properly and I am ashamed of myself. Three days later, my son and I will throw a banquet at Yunjing Hotel, where we will personally apologize to the Qiu family. At that time, I hope Mr. Chu and Mrs. Qiu will do us the honor of attending the banquet!”

Written by, Shen Jiu-Yi!

“Whoa, Wen-Fei, that’s awesome!”

“A handwritten invitation from the head of the Shen family, inviting you to a banquet where he will personally apologize to you?”

When they saw the invitation, the Qius got themselves all worked again. And Qiu Mu-Ying felt really proud of herself.

After all, having an amazing husband like Chu Wen-Fei made her look good too.

But as Chu Wen-Fei looked at the invitation, he could not help but feel that something was wrong.

Since his father was the one who had dealt with the Shen family, with zero participation from himself, then the person Shen Jiu-Yi should be inviting was his father. So why was he invited?

Moreover, Shen Fei had never offended him or his wife before. So why did Shen Jin-Yi talk about his failure to bring up his son properly? Why mention apologizing at all?

“Damn it, what went wrong?”

The more Chu Wen-Fei thought about this invitation, the more suspicious it looked to him. He could not shake the feeling that something was wrong.
