Chapter 626 Even if I die, I will die in peace!
As the car turned the corner, a Cayenne parked in the distance outside a modern-style villa came into view.
The little girl sat up, grabbed the seat in front of her, pointed at the car, and said, "Mommy, that's Auntie's car!"
At first glance, the little girl wasn't quite sure, but as the car moved forward, she saw clearly and became certain.
Qin Dongyu saw it. As she turned the steering wheel and the car rounded the corner, the scenery ahead came into view, and she immediately spotted the car parked far away outside the villa.
That's Dong Pingting's car.
Upon seeing the car, Qin Dongyu's expression shifted slightly, and he said, "Yes, it's my aunt's car."
The little girl blinked her big eyes and looked at Qin Dongyu: "Mommy, is Auntie coming to our house to play today?"
Normally, Qin Dongyu would tell the little girl in advance who was coming to the house and what was going to be done, but she didn't tell her when she picked the little girl up from school today.
Qin Dongyu said, "Something must have happened. Your aunt didn't call Mom earlier. Go inside and play with her by yourself in a bit, and Mom will talk to your aunt, okay?"
The little girl obediently replied, "Okay!"
As the Maserati drove forward, the driver's side door of the parked car opened, and Dong Pingting, dressed in long clothes and trousers, with her long hair tied back, stepped out of the car—a stark contrast to her usual gentle image.
She closed the car door, stood outside the car, and turned to face the car driving towards her.
Qin Dongyu looked at the person in front of her, whose expression was devoid of emotion and desire, and sighed inwardly.
It seems they know.
"Bah."
The car came to a smooth stop behind Dong Pingting's car. Qin Dongyu didn't get out of the car immediately, but instead picked up her phone to call the maid.
A moment later, the servant came out.
Qin Dongyu opened the car door and helped the little girl out. The little girl immediately smiled at Dong Pingting and said, "Auntie~"
Dong Pingting had already arrived in front of the two of them. She was not wearing makeup, and her haggard appearance was immediately apparent. Her eyes were even slightly red and swollen.
Clearly, she had cried.
The little girl smiled at her, and she forced a smile, saying, "Ruan Ruan is out of school?"
The little girl said, "Yes~"
Seeing Dong Pingting's appearance, Qin Dongyu said to the maid who came over, "Take Miss inside to play."
"Okay, ma'am."
The maid took the little girl's hand, and Qin Dongyu said to her, "Mommy will talk to Auntie for a while, and Ruanruan will play with Auntie."
The little girl may be young, but she can tell the difference between adults' expressions and states at a glance.
He said to Qin Dongyu, "Okay, Mom~"
After saying that, he waved to Dong Pingting: "Goodbye, Auntie~"
Dong Pingting forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and said, "Goodbye."
The little girl was led into the villa by the maid.
Qin Dongyu watched until the little girl's figure disappeared before turning his gaze away. Looking at the person before him who had lost everything and was no longer the radiant person he once was, he said, "Do you understand?"
She kept it a secret from Dong Pingting. Firstly, the news of Wenren Chen and Zhou Yi's marriage couldn't be publicized yet. Sheng Mingying had already given the word, but the young girl wasn't ready to make a move yet. She was afraid that if the news got out, it would scare people away, which would be troublesome.
Another reason is that, for Dong Pingting's own good, if we wait a little longer, we can introduce her to some outstanding men, and maybe she'll take a liking to one, then we won't have to focus our attention on Wenren Chen anymore.
But to my surprise, she found out so quickly.
Qin Dongyu was a little curious about how she knew.
Upon hearing her words, Dong Pingting swayed instantly, on the verge of collapse.
Seeing her like this, it seemed she had lost all support and couldn't even stand up straight.
Qin Dongyu quickly helped her up, and seeing her pale face, he frowned and said, "Let's talk in the car."
"it is good."
The voice was hoarse, filled with utter helplessness and profound sorrow.
Qin Dongyu frowned, helped her into the car, and closed the door.
At this point, Dong Pingting could no longer hold back, bent over, covered her face, and burst into tears: "Cousin, why?"
"Why would he rather marry a penniless nanny than marry me?"
"Cousin, tell me, why is this?"
Tears streamed down her face and soaked her palms. Through her blurry vision, she looked at Qin Dongyu, overwhelmed with grief.
Seeing her like this, Qin Dongyu felt heartbroken and hugged her: "Do you like Wenren Chen that much?"
She used to be gentle and calm. Even when her mother-in-law rejected her, she didn't seem hurt at all. She agreed to be introduced to other people and even got to know them.
She thought her little cousin was sensible.
But now it seems she was wrong.
Her younger cousin had never let go of Wenren Chen.
Dong Pingting gripped her clothes tightly, her voice hoarse: "I like him, I like him so much, I really, really like him. I fell in love with him the first time I saw him when I was sixteen. For the past ten years, I have been working hard to make myself better, to make myself worthy of him. I have worked hard every day, with all my heart, without ever slacking off. But when I was finally worthy of him in every way, he married a woman who was inferior to me in every way. Cousin, tell me, why is that?"
“If he didn’t want someone so outstanding, why would I have done all this? I would have stayed by his side long ago, accompanying him every day, rather than having someone else beat me to it.”
"Cousin, why? Tell me why?"
Tears streamed down her face as she gripped Qin Dongyu's clothes tightly, her eyes red and swollen as she looked at him.
Qin Dongyu moved her lips, wanting to speak, but seeing Dong Pingting's pained expression, she didn't know how to comfort her for a moment.
From the very beginning, Pingting made it very clear to her that she liked Wenren Chen and asked her for help.
The cause and effect were explained clearly, and she, as the older cousin, also helped. But in her heart, she felt that her younger cousin was too young at the time, which was why she had fantasies about Wenren Chen.
Now that her mother-in-law has refused, her illusions have been shattered, and she can start afresh.
And she did indeed act as usual, without making a fuss. Her mother-in-law didn't specifically look for her because of her younger cousin, so she thought that with time, everything would fade away.
Of course, upon learning that Wenren Chen and Zhou Yi were getting married, she also considered that her younger cousin might not be able to accept it.
No normal person could accept this.
However, she, as the older cousin, really didn't expect it to turn out like this.
Tears streamed down Dong Pingting's face like broken beads, falling one after another onto Qin Dongyu's body. The burning tears were unbearable for Qin Dongyu; she could only helplessly utter, "Pingting..."
“Cousin, I can accept him marrying any woman better than me. At least it means I’m not good enough for him. But I can’t accept him marrying a nanny who is inferior to me in every way!”
"That little girl had nothing. What did she have? Family background? Appearance? Education? connections?"
"She has nothing, so why could she marry him? Just because she can take care of children? I can too, I'm learning, I've been learning and working hard. If you give me time, I can definitely get that child to accept me. Why won't he give me time? Why is he in such a hurry to marry a woman like that?"
"Cousin, I beg you, please tell me the reason. Even if I die, I will die in peace!"
