Chapter 206 - Disappointment

Chapter 206: Disappointment

The Sun family did not lose to the Qin family in the famous families of the capital. Sun Zhilan was the youngest daughter of the Sun Patriarch with three older brothers. As the only girl and being the youngest, she received a lot of love from young.

But she did not grow up to have a spoilt temper and was instead a sweet-tempered girl. Countless men chased after her and it was also because of this that she was extremely strict with Qin Jiaojiao.

To have lost her chastity before marriage and even have her fiancé cuckolded, Sun Zhilan’s entire body was covered with rage. It was her first time being angry at Qin Jiaojiao.

She constantly warned Qin Jiaojiao that girls had to be kept pure. Over the recent years, although people talk about gender equality, a girl’s chastity was still important. And in the apocalypse, for Qin Jiaojiao who was a girl that had no abilities, it was even more so important.

On this day, she had felt better and was out for a walk when she discovered the entire base was filled with rumors of Qin Jiaojiao, saying that she did not love herself, had no restraint, and everyone laughed at the Qin family.

Qin Jiaojiao did not expect that Sun Zhilan would be informed on this; she was in fact afraid of this happening. Although Sun Zhilan treated her well, a mistake would turn Sun Zhilan to be strict and fierce. Maybe if she was a bit more like her father…

Qin Jiaojiao hid behind Qin Mian in fear. “Mum, what’re you talking about? I don’t know what you’re saying.”

Sun Zhilan harrumphed. “You say you don’t know. Or are you simply lying to us? Word is spreading like crazy outside. The Qin family’s Miss Qin Jiaojiao, whose fiancé is wearing a green hat, has no restraint and no self-love. You, you’re really…”

Sun Zhilan fumed to the point of no words. She suddenly coughed and her pale face turned red as her progressively weakening body swayed.

Qin Mian quickly grabbed onto Sun Zhilan; his heart filled with pain when he saw the love of his life being so frail. He carefully sat her down and sighed. “Zhilan, we let the Chen family down. Let’s dissolve the engagement. Since Jiaojiao says she likes Zheng Zhong, let’s let the two of them be together.”

When he initially heard the news, Qin Mian was also stunned and disappointed with Qin Jiaojiao. But now that the matter between both kids had been revealed, they had no choice but to go with it.

Streams of tears dropped down Sun Zhilan’s pale face. “Brother Mian, I let you down. I didn’t teach our Jiaojiao well and threw the Qin family’s face.”

Although Sun Zhilan looked to be sweet-tempered, she was in fact a very strong person and truly regretted spoiling Qin Jiaojiao.

“Silly girl.” Qin Mian gently wiped away Sun Zhilan’s tears, acting strong but was extremely gentle towards her. “What face? As long as you all can live well, this is good enough. Don’t bother about what outsiders have to say.”

Qin Mian then looked back at Qin Jiaojiao who was standing uncomfortably at the side. He smiled gently, but even the handsome face could not hide the fatigue in his eyes. “Find some time to bring Zheng Zhong over. I will discuss with him over the matters between you two. Jiaojiao, this is your choice. I hope that you won’t live to regret it.”

Qin Jiaojiao clenched her teeth. “I won’t regret it. Big brother Zheng Zhong will treat me well for our entire lives.” Qin Jiaojiao’s words were meant for Sun Zhilan to hear.

Sun Zhilan did not look at her and spoke to her husband. “Brother Mian, I’m tired. Help me up.”

Qin Jiaojiao watched as Sun Zhilan and Qin Mian’s back figure disappeared from the stairs. She looked at Qin Hanmo anxiously. “Second brother, is mummy angry with me? But I really like big brother Zheng Zhong.”

Qin Jiaojiao’s eyes were misty with tears with a hurt and confused look. This caused Qin Hanmo, who had initially disapproved of her actions, to turn soft. He caressed Qin Jiaojiao’s head. “It’s fine. Mum is just tired. She loves Jiaojiao the most and won’t be angry with you. As for Zheng Zhong, as long as Jiaojiao likes him, that’s fine.”
