Chapter 485: A Disgraceful Display

"I don’t care what you’re thinking right now. If you want to make this work, then let’s make it work. If you really don’t, then there’s nothing I can do. You can throw whatever tantrum you want."

"For the next few days, I’ll have Aunt Li bring you your meals. I’ll come get you on the day you’re discharged."

After saying this, Qin Wenze turned and left the hospital room.

Gao Lan never expected him to leave so decisively. She was completely stunned.

Immediately, tears began to fall like pearls—

’Is he trying to divorce me because he knows I can’t have children?’

’The Qin family must be thinking the same thing.’

’No wonder every single one of them has been so cold to me lately.’

’That mother-in-law of mine was actually thinking of just splitting us off from the family.’

The Gao family arrived in the afternoon and saw that Gao Lan’s eyes were red and swollen.

They were also very surprised.

’Why is she crying like this again?’

"Where’s Wenzhe? Why isn’t he here? And what did the Qin family say about the adoption?"

The one asking was Gao Lan’s older brother, Gao Shengli.

Gao Lan then told them about the Qin family’s decision.

When the Gao family members heard this, their expressions soured.

Gao Shengli’s face was grim. "What do they mean by that? If this child is adopted by you, won’t he be just like your own biological son? On what grounds can he not receive a share of the Qin family’s assets?"

The Eldest Sister-in-law was also furious.

"Exactly! If I give my son to you, won’t he be your son? He’ll be the one to care for you in your old age and see to your funerals, making him a member of the Qin family. How can he not get a share of the Qin family’s property?"

"Gao Lan, you have to stand your ground on this. Their family caused you to lose a child, on what grounds can they not even agree to this small request?"

Listening to her brother and sister-in-law’s self-righteous indignation, her older sister, Gao Yu, couldn’t help but snarl,

"That’s enough! Your greed is so obvious it’s practically slapping the Qin family in the face! The child hasn’t even been adopted yet, and every other word out of your mouths is about dividing up their assets. Are you brainless? Do you think Qin Wenze and the Qin family are fools?

Or are you actually trying to get Gao Lan and Qin Wenze to divorce?"

After shouting this, she looked at her younger sister, Gao Lan, again.

"Gao Lan, think about those hard days you spent in the countryside. Don’t you dare throw away the good life you’ve worked so hard to get."

"You’ve lost the child, and you can’t have another. I know this is a huge blow and has hurt you deeply—but if you insist on making a scene like this, then any guilt the Qin family feels will vanish into thin air. Just think, if Qin Wenze really does divorce you, what other good family like his could you possibly marry into?"

As soon as Gao Yu said this, the color drained from Gao Lan’s face.

Although she was in immense pain, she was unwilling to actually divorce Qin Wenze.

Seeing her expression, Gao Yu knew that her words were starting to sink in.

So, she softened her tone.

"Gao Lan, a good life is something you build for yourself. Stop getting bogged down in this. That boy, Qin Yue, didn’t bump into you on purpose. I don’t think you should be so hostile toward that child. Besides, since you’re so insistent on adopting our older brother’s youngest son, you can’t be so demanding."

"Why can’t we be demanding? My son is being adopted into the Qin family to be Qin Wenze’s son. Shouldn’t he be treated just like a biological son?"

Gao Yu looked at her sister-in-law’s entitled expression and couldn’t help but sneer.

"What, you think because they don’t have a son they’re obligated to take yours? Even if they wanted to adopt, they’d want a child who’s young and impressionable, not an eight-year-old like your son."
