Chapter 407: Chapter 407: The Last Chance
Qin Jiao said, "Uncle, I trust you."
With the experience from her past life, Qin Jiao knew that Sun Jianhua was a very reliable and trustworthy person. The reason she hadn’t given him a major role before was because she knew he would be deceived three times.
The third time, he was deceived by Qin Jiqun.
Even the slowest person should learn from their mistakes by now. Besides, Sun Jianhua was destined to become a fruit tycoon. A man like that couldn’t be stupid; he would just learn to be more discerning about who to trust.
Moved by Qin Jiao’s trust, Sun Jianhua was thrilled. He said, "Don’t you worry, Xiao Jiao. As for sales, I will absolutely do a great job!"
"But this job involves a lot of drinking and constant business trips. The clothing factory is just starting out, so it might be a lot of hard work for you, Uncle."
"What’s a little hard work? You trust me, so no matter what, I’ll get this done!"
Qin Na was also beaming with joy. "Xiao Jiao," she said, "I don’t even know how to thank you."
Qin Jiao said, "Then let’s all just work hard. Aunt Du and the others trust us so much, we have to show them some tangible results."
Du Liya had complete faith in Qin Jiao. She was totally absorbed in designing clothes, not bothering with anything else.
As for Beidou, he was never good at running a business anyway. He was more into doing unconventional things. Of course, if you needed someone to pull some strings or put on a show of force, he was definitely your man.
Now, the clothing factory was essentially half hers, and Qin Jiao couldn’t just accept such a gift for nothing. She had to lead her family in a united effort to double the factory’s value.
’Once she and Shen Yi go their separate ways, she won’t take anything extra. But in the meantime, her parents, her aunt, and her uncle would all gain valuable experience. In the future, they’ll be able to run their own small businesses and stand on their own two feet.’
’This was the greatest benefit that Du Liya and Shen Yi had given her!’
If Shen Yi knew that Qin Jiao was constantly planning for their eventual separation, he would surely be miserable. But miserable or not, he wouldn’t give up on her.
「A few days later」
Word came from their hometown that Qin Bogang and Sun Li had actually, truly divorced.
Qin Xiaolan sounded surprisingly calm on the phone when she spoke to Qin Jiao. "Sis, I’ve thought it through. My dad... he needs to be left alone to cool his head for a while. He has a perfectly good life, but he just has to make trouble all day, acting like he’s some big shot who has to save the world! It’s like every time something involving his parents or uncle comes up, he turns into a completely different person. Anyway, Mom’s tired of it, and I’m tired of it. It’s better this way."
"The apartment was from my maternal grandparents’ work unit to begin with, and of course I’m staying with Mom. Afterward, Mom gave Dad one-third of the family’s money."
Qin Jiao was silent for a moment. "Your parents have saved a lot of money over the years. Even at one-third, your dad must have gotten a considerable sum. Aren’t you worried he’ll just turn around and give it all to his parents?"
Qin Xiaolan scoffed. "Actually, this is Mom’s last chance for him. They’ve decided to divorce, but they haven’t finalized the certificate yet. If Dad immediately turns around and gives his share of the money to his family back home, then Mom and I will probably never speak to him again for the rest of our lives."
’What a terrifying kind of father, to take his divorce settlement and immediately give it to his own family.’
’How could they go on living like that?’
That was why, even though Sun Li couldn’t bear to leave Qin Bogang—after all, they had been married for nearly twenty years—she still gave him one last chance.
Now it was just a matter of seeing whether he would treasure it.
