Chapter 1664: Chapter 1507: Female Supremacy 1
At first, Qi Guanshuangshuang went to Dong Xinxian’s place for Fang Miaozhen’s sake, a quaint little shop that she deemed completely unworthy of her attention, a place she would never normally visit.
But after going once, Qi Guanshuangshuang was captivated by Dong Xinxian’s beauty, and then there was a second, third, and countless visits to the little shop to dine.
Dong Xinxian was genuinely very handsome. His culinary skills, though not masterful, were exceedingly refined. His shop had good business, with some regular customers returning for his craftsmanship.
Of course, there were also some women who were drawn by Dong Xinxian’s looks, constantly supporting the business in hopes of winning the heart of the Beauty.
Many women admired Dong Xinxian, naturally leading to numerous pursuers, but Dong Xinxian remained indifferent to everyone.
Not only were there admirers drawn by Dong Xinxian’s allure, but also some with impure intentions, taking advantage of his solitude to harass him.
If it weren’t for Fang Miaozhen and a group of women who openly and secretly protected him, Dong Xinxian might have been bullied countless times.
However, Dong Xinxian’s personality was very cold, treating pursuers and those with ill intentions with equal indifference, neither warm nor cold.
Yet Dong Xinxian was very different toward Qi Guanshuangshuang; every time he saw her, he was gentle, unable to say more than a few words before shyly lowering his head, unlike his demeanor with other women.
Qi Guanshuangshuang enjoyed Dong Xinxian’s gentle and considerate nature so much that she lost interest in drinking or going to entertainment venues, spending her days around Dong Xinxian.
After spending a lot of time with Dong Xinxian, Qi Guanshuangshuang began to harbor the thought of marrying Dong Xinxian as her main husband. She even felt that with Dong Xinxian, she could forsake all other men.
Dong Xinxian’s special treatment filled Qi Guanshuangshuang with confidence; being someone who couldn’t conceal things, she directly proposed to Dong Xinxian, promising that after marriage, he’d be her only husband, without other courtiers.
However, to Qi Guanshuangshuang’s surprise, Dong Xinxian refused her proposal, which left her puzzled because although he rejected her, he remained enthusiastic toward her.
Initially, Qi Guanshuangshuang thought Dong Xinxian was simply shy, so she proposed two more times, but every time she did, Dong Xinxian would turn cold, only to treat her warmly as if nothing happened afterward.
Dong Xinxian’s alternating cold and warm attitude caused Qi Guanshuangshuang considerable agony; she couldn’t understand why Dong Xinxian, who clearly had feelings for her, wouldn’t agree to marry her.
Unwilling to give up, Qi Guanshuangshuang questioned Dong Xinxian on why he wouldn’t marry her. Dong Xinxian responded that he was merely an isolated, destitute gentleman, without parents or backing, fearing betrayal post-marriage.
No matter how Qi Guanshuangshuang swore and promised, Dong Xinxian refused to relent and accept the proposal.
While Qi Guanshuangshuang was worrying about all this, her good friend Fang Miaozhen offered a suggestion, telling Qi Guanshuangshuang that Dong Xinxian lacked confidence, scared to marry her due to having no foundation.
Dong Xinxian had neither family to support him nor wealth; marrying her would mean he’d end up with nothing if Qi Guanshuangshuang ever changed her mind. To reassure Dong Xinxian to marry her, he must gain confidence.
While nothing could be done on the family front, Qi Guanshuangshuang could provide Dong Xinxian with a wealthy dowry. With financial security, Dong Xinxian would gain the confidence to marry her.
Qi Guanshuangshuang thought Fang Miaozhen’s idea was excellent and straightforwardly arranged for a generous dowry for Dong Xinxian, sufficient for him to live worry-free for life.
Sure enough, with the dowry, Dong Xinxian finally agreed to marry Qi Guanshuangshuang, bringing great joy to Qi Gongshuangshuang for winning the heart of the Beauty, becoming the envy of many women because Dong Xinxian was incredibly handsome.
After marriage, to express her feelings for Dong Xinxian, Qi Guanshuangshuang entrusted her family’s wealth to him, under the pretense of female leading outside, male leading inside.
However, within a year, Qi Guanshuangshuang’s business began encountering continuous issues. Though she was a spoiled socialite, fortunately, her mother had left behind many loyal shopkeepers and capable employees.
Realizing she had spoiled her daughter, Qi Guanshuangshuang’s mother painstakingly selected many reliable individuals to assist Qi Guanshuangshuang after her passing, ensuring Qi Guanshuangshuang could live comfortably.
Thanks to her mother’s keen judgment, after both parents passed, Qi Guanshuangshuang continued living a carefree life with the support of these people, and the Qi Guan Family thrived financially.
Upon entrusting family wealth to Dong Xinxian, he promised to handle business affairs for Qi Guanshuangshuang.
Having never lacked money since childhood, and disinterested in business, plus believing they were a couple, Qi Guanshuangshuang gladly let Dong Xinxian manage the business.
But after Dong Xinxian took over, the individuals her mother left behind began having frequent issues, starting with her mother’s old shopkeepers and employees clashing with Dong Xinxian.
Dong Xinxian often complained to Qi Guanshuangshuang about how these old shopkeepers and employees used their seniority to bully him, the head household husband.
Qi Guanshuangshuang sincerely loved Dong Xinxian, and hearing about his bullying was intolerable. To stand up for her beloved husband, Qi Guanshuangshuang decisively fired those disrespectful shopkeepers and employees.
Without those shopkeepers and employees, business began frequently having issues, and within three years, Qi Guanshuangshuang’s vast wealth was completely exhausted.
The day after Qi Guanshuangshuang’s wealth was gone, her husband Dong Xinxian left a divorce letter and left Qi Guanshuangshuang, leaving her with nothing.
Qi Guanshuangshuang stubbornly searched for Dong Xinxian, only to unexpectedly find him outside a tavern, paired up affectionately with her friend Fang Miaozhen.
At this point, if Qi Guanshuangshuang didn’t realize there was something between her husband and so-called friend, she’d be an idiot.
Instead of impulsively confronting Dong Xinxian and Fang Miaozhen, Qi Guanshuangshuang, with a slight hope, decided to investigate whether she had wronged Dong Xinxian.
Who knew the investigation results would disappoint her — one after another of the Qi Guan Family’s businesses and properties had indeed become Fang Family assets.
Originally a younger daughter, Fang Miaozhen even surpassed her elder sister Fang Miaqing, becoming the Fang Family heir.
Qi Guanshuangshuang was angry, unwilling to accept the outcome. Holding onto her fury, she left Yun City for the border, starting anew, and within ten years built a business larger than the original Qi Guan Family.
