Chapter 10: Threatening To Break Up

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Just as Lin Shan was about to persuade her, something large and dirty flew over and landed on her newly-tailored clothes with a smack!

A foul smell quickly spread.

It was cow dung!

“Ah! Little brats, I’ll kill you all!”

Lin Shan’s lips were trembling, and she was so angry that her eyebrows were vertical. She rolled up her sleeves and rushed over, wanting to teach Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao a lesson, but she was stopped by Qiu Tong.

“Qiu Tong, look at these ingrates. What are you keeping them for?”

Lin Shan glared hatefully at the brats. “We might as well sell them and exchange them for some money!”

“If you like to sell children so much, why don’t you sell your own children?”

With a cold face, Qiu Tong smirked. “Speaking of money… when are you going to return the money you swindled from me?”


“What… what are you talking about?”

Lin Shan took a step back and looked away guiltily, refusing to admit it. “When did I cheat you of your money?”

The smile on Qiu Tong’s face grew colder when she realized that she was denying it.

“Since you didn’t cheat me, then it’s a loan? When are you going to return the $15,000 you borrowed from me?”

In the original novel, it was stated that after the former Qiu Tong’s family assets were seized, she still had some money on her. However, Lin Shan would keep borrowing money from her, until she was all emptied out.

Seeing that she was really angry, Lin Shan’s expression changed and her tone softened. “Qiu Tong, don’t be angry. Actually, I borrowed money from you for your own good.”

“Think about it, the Qiu family assets were seized and everything has been confiscated by the police. If they find out that you still have that stash of money, the police will definitely take it away.”

Lin Shan sounded extremely sincere, as if she was genuinely concerned for Qiu Tong. “I am just helping you keep it safe for the time being.”

As for whether she would ever return the money to Qiu Tong, Lin Shan did not even consider it. In any case, based on her understanding of Qiu Tong, she would definitely not dare to call the police, so the money would remain in her hands.

However, to Lin Shan’s surprise, Qiu Tong insisted on getting her money back.

“No need. Give me back my money. I’ll hand it over to the police myself.”

“Have you gone mad?”

Lin Shan raised her voice and said angrily, “Qiu Tong, don’t you trust me? Well now, we’re best friends but you don’t even trust me…”

Despite Lin Shan’s reprimand, Qiu Tong insisted, “It’s every citizen’s duty to abide by the law.”

She raised her eyebrows, her clear and sharp gaze almost seeing through Lin Shan’s thoughts. She smiled insincerely and said, “You’re not planning to keep it for yourself and not return it to me, are you?”

After having her true motives exposed, Lin Shan now looked miserable. “How is that possible? It’s just that I came out in a hurry today and didn’t bring any money with me.”

“Wait for me. I’ll go back and bring it to you now.”

Lin Shan ran off without looking back. Qiu Tong watched her leave, the smirk on her face growing wider.

Lin Shan probably wouldn’t dare to come again for the time being.

But, no one had ever managed to take anything from her. Even if they did, she would make them pay it back ten times or even a hundred times over!

She already had a plan in mind.

Turning around, Qiu Tong raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Qiu Xingyuan drew back his conflicted gaze. He did not expect this woman to protect them.

Previously, when Lin Shan came, she would either hit or scold them. Meanwhile, this woman would instigate her to beat them even more ruthlessly.

This was the first time she had protected them.

The three children started to have some tender feelings for Qiu Tong. Even the way they looked at her changed.

Qiu Tong noticed the change in the children’s attitude. Before she could rejoice, a man suddenly appeared at the door.


“Qiu Tong!”

He rushed over aggressively and pointed angrily at Qiu Xingyuan and the rest. “Didn’t you promise me to sell them? Why are they still here?”

Who was this?

Qiu Tong looked at the handsome but malicious man in front of her and asked coldly, “Why should I sell?”

The man thought that Qiu Tong could not bear to part with the children, so he immediately held her hand and said with deep affection, “Qiu Tong, we’ll have our own children in the future. With these three burdens, we won’t be able to have a good life, and my family won’t accept you.”

His tone carried a hint of threat. “Don’t you want to marry me?”

Qiu Tong’s heart skipped a beat. So this man was her lover, the scumbag Yu Ge?

Yu Ge was also an expert at swindling money. Later on, he even cheated Qiu Tong of the money from selling her children before dumping her. This was the main cause of Qiu Tong’s change in temperament and poverty.

Qiu Tong retracted her hand and said coldly, “You can’t even accept my children. This means you don’t love me at all. Why should I care if your family can accept me?”

“Yu Ge, you can’t blame these children for their lack of ability to survive. You’re the useless one!”
