Su Ding was utterly speechless, beyond speechless.
How could someone be so difficult to communicate with? Seeing Zhao Qin's disbelieving expression, she simply gave up on explaining.
She stood up directly. "I'm leaving now. You can stay here. If you need anything, you can contact me. Water, food, and some basic daily necessities will be delivered soon. Just open the door to get them."
"That's all. I'm going back."
Su Ding finished her instructions with a blank expression, picked up her car keys, and turned to leave.
"Hey! Hey! Are you really leaving?"
Seeing Su Ding leave, Zhao Qin suddenly felt a little uneasy. She called out a few times, but Su Ding didn't even look back, walking even faster as if avoiding some monstrous flood. Zhao Qin muttered unhappily.
"Just admit that Ye bought it. It's not the first time you've relied on my son."
Muttering to herself, Zhao Qin walked back to the sofa and plugged in her phone to charge.
The warm and comfortable lighting, the cozy and clean house – all of it finally gave the long-weary woman a sense of security.
Gradually, her mind began to wander uncontrollably.
"Jin He must be desperately searching for me everywhere. Did I come out too rashly?"
"Fortunately, I met Su Ding today, otherwise..."
The more Zhao Qin thought, the more she felt a sense of dread. Although she didn't want to admit it, she was grateful to Su Ding in her heart. It was just that the kidnapping incident had disappointed her too much.
Lost in thought, her phone screen lit up.
Powering on successfully!
Zhao Qin quickly picked up her phone and opened WeChat. She found that Jin He hadn't sent her a single message.
At this moment, her heart felt a chill.
The grievances she had suffered today erupted, making her eyes feel hot. She sniffled and said indignantly,
"Fine, very fine, Jin He, you're really something! If you want a divorce, I, Zhao Qin, will grant it!"
As she spoke, tears began to fall.
With no one around, Zhao Qin no longer needed to pretend. She simply broke down in tears.
"I, Zhao Qin, have followed you for so many years, and you want a divorce just like that? You're so heartless!"
"Even if I was wrong this time, couldn't you have coaxed me?"
"Xiao Ye dotes on his wife, and he's devoted to Su Ding. What about you? You're the father, and you treat your wife like this?"
"Wuwu... If you want a divorce, then divorce. I, Zhao Qin, can still live without you..."
As she cried and spoke, her crying grew more intense. Recalling the past, Zhao Qin felt that she had indeed gone too far.
She knew that her behavior today was indeed a bit malicious.
But she was only trying to protect her family. Why couldn't anyone understand her?
Everyone treated her as a bad person. Her husband, her son, her grandson – they were all against her. She was a complete failure as a person.
As she was crying, the doorbell suddenly rang. Zhao Qin jolted, looking nervously at the door.
After another two minutes, there was no more movement outside.
Immediately after, her phone vibrated, and a WeChat message popped up: [Su Ding: The takeout has arrived. I told the delivery person to leave. Take the things inside.]
Zhao Qin looked at Su Ding's message in WeChat.
Even with just text, she could guess Su Ding's indifferent tone. xxs壹贰
Still so unlikable.
If Su Ding were like Lin Lin, sweet-mouthed and good at coaxing her, she might, probably, possibly accept Su Ding.
To take a step back, even if Su Ding wasn't sweet-mouthed, as long as she didn't do anything illegal, she could reluctantly accept her. It was a pity that Su Ding was a wolf in sheep's clothing... Alas!
Zhao Qin thought to herself, wiped away her tears, stood up, and walked to the door. Seeing that the person was gone through the peephole, she then opened the door and brought in a large bag of items.
After moving the bag into the living room, Zhao Qin curiously opened it.
She was very curious about what Su Ding had bought for her.
Upon opening it, even with Zhao Qin's great opinion of Su Ding, she couldn't help but sigh: So thoughtful.
There was drinking water, tissues, instant noodles and hot pot, frozen dumplings, a pair of slippers, a set of bath towels...
Basically, everything she could think of was thought of.
Considering Zhao Qin's aversion to the items in the house, everything was bought brand new.
Looking at the abundance of supplies on the floor, Zhao Qin felt a warmth in her heart. At this point, what was there to dislike? She immediately started cooking noodles.
Perhaps by keeping busy, negative emotions would dissipate. After tidying everything up, the noodles were also cooked.
Zhao Qin's mood also settled down.
She carried the noodles to the dining table, ate, and browsed her phone.
After hesitating for a long time, she still awkwardly picked up her phone, took a photo of the noodles, and sent it to Su Ding. Su Ding didn't reply, and she didn't think much of it.
Then she continued reading the news on her phone.
To be honest, ever since she had brought reporters to Su Ding's house during the day, declared her intention to drive Su Ding away, was persuaded by her son to return home, and then argued with Jin He, threatening divorce and leaving home, she had consciously avoided checking her phone, and even more so, she didn't want to face the potential consequences of this incident.
But as night deepened and the world quieted down.
Whether out of guilt or regret towards Su Ding, she couldn't help but click into it.
What she never expected was that the online reviews of Su Ding were so good, with public opinion almost entirely in support of Su Ding.
"What's going on?"
Zhao Qin was dumbfounded.
It wasn't that she didn't wish Su Ding well, but this outcome was too unbelievable.
After half an hour of surfing the internet, Zhao Qin was completely stunned. She sat blankly on the stool, looking at the article that vindicated Su Ding, unable to calm down for a long time.
"Su Ding was framed? It was Shao Lin?"
"On the wedding day, she was actually kidnapped? Oh my god."
"That child... was lost because of this kidnapping..."
"From beginning to end, it was all Shao Lin's trap..."
Zhao Qin's body stiffened, her blood seemed to stop flowing. In her disbelief, clear evidence after clear evidence made it impossible for her not to believe.
The evidence was conclusive, and the authorities were arresting Shao Lin...
