Quick Transmigration: Saving the White Moonlight in a Matriarchal World - Chapter 13

Fang Qiong was thrown out of Zijinyuan. 

 

She was still unwilling to accept it, but Lin Qingchi had long since blocked her, and Shen Yunzhou would never bother with her. There was no way for her to get back inside. 

 

Sneaking in was something she had already done once, and she didn’t have the face to do it again. 

 

Besides, the security system at Zijinyuan wasn’t just for show. For now, they had only kicked her out, likely because her face had been trending on social media for days. 

 

Online, people mocked her, calling her useless. 

 

“Fang Family’s second daughter, a complete fool.” 

 

Fang Qiong thought back to the harsh words she’d overheard yesterday and let out a bitter laugh. Just then, her eldest sister called, and she quickly drove off. 

 

Since her family’s downfall, the investors fled, the employees quit, and even the shareholders jumped ship. Her elder sister was running herself ragged trying to keep things afloat, and Fang Qiong wanted to help but was powerless to do so. 

 

Growing up, Fang Qiong had always lived carefreely, knowing from the start that the family business would go to her elder sister. She never got involved in the company’s matters and instead indulged in a life of leisure and fun. 

 

Now, no matter how hard she tried to make up for it, she couldn’t compete with the seasoned veterans who had spent decades navigating the business world. 

 

At this point, Fang Qiong suddenly thought of Jiang Zhou. If they hadn’t broken off the engagement, perhaps the Jiang family would have helped her now. 

 

But alas, 

 

On the day her scandal exploded on social media, the Jiang family sent Jiang Zhou abroad on a business trip. 

 

Three days later, watching her elder sister collapse in a shareholder meeting, Fang Qiong felt a deep sense of regret. 

 

She truly regretted it. 

 

Back in university, if she hadn’t orchestrated that scene upon realizing Shen Yunzhou liked Lin Qingchi, and if she hadn’t arranged for Shen Yunzhou to overhear fabricated lies, Lin Qingchi wouldn’t have turned a blind eye to her troubles now. 

 

They had grown up as friends. Long before, she had suspected that Lin Qingchi might have feelings for Shen Yunzhou, but she pretended not to notice. 

 

She had been afraid of losing to her. 

 

Shen Yunzhou was one of a kind! 

 

When she discovered that Shen Yunzhou liked Lin Qingchi, she had only one thought: she couldn’t let him go to Lin Qingchi. Shen Yunzhou was hers. 

 

So, she planned everything, having someone loudly spout those fabricated lines in a classroom Shen Yunzhou would definitely pass by. And she succeeded. 

 

Shen Yunzhou stopped talking to Lin Qingchi. 

 

Great! 

 

At the time, she was so thrilled she couldn’t sleep. She knew Shen Yunzhou’s personality, he wouldn’t ask questions. That gave her all the time she needed to pursue him and make him fall for her. 

 

Finally, when Shen Yunzhou graduated, he agreed to date her. She immediately posted a picture of them holding hands on social media. 

 

She wanted to show Lin Qingchi: See? The person you like is mine now. 

 

After that, Lin Qingchi barely appeared in Shen Yunzhou’s life. Fang Qiong felt triumphant and delighted, thinking she had finally won. 

 

But now, Lin Qingchi had brought Shen Yunzhou back to her side after all these years. 

 

She had never truly won. 

 

In those two years of chasing him, and another year of coaxing him, Shen Yunzhou never let her get close beyond holding hands. 

 

Yet when Lin Qingchi reappeared, Shen Yunzhou surrendered completely, letting her take him home, sleep with him, and even accompany her to her company. 

 

Fang Qiong finally understood. 

 

The one Shen Yunzhou truly loved, even six years later, was still Lin Qingchi. 

 

And everything else? 

 

After Shen Yunzhou disappeared, if she had gone to his hometown even once, she would have realized his grandmother had been taken away and might have uncovered the truth behind her family’s actions. 

 

But Shen Yunzhou’s hometown was a ten-hour drive away, and she’d heard it was a poor, remote place. She had never even considered going there. 

 

When she met Jiang Zhou, if she hadn’t treated him as a substitute or lied to him, he might not have left her. 

 

Fang Qiong wanted to apologize. 

 

She drove to Zijinyuan again, but she still couldn’t reach Lin Qingchi. 

 

Lin Qingchi was different from her. 

 

Lin Qingchi had been groomed as an heir since childhood. She had both brains and capability. If she wanted to, she could save the Fang family. 

 

Fang Qiong resolved to apologize, to be sincere enough. With over twenty years of friendship between them, Lin Qingchi would surely help her. 

 

She waited for one day, two days, but still didn’t see Lin Qingchi’s car. She went to the Lin Corporation to look for her but was stopped at the door for not having an appointment. 

 

On the third day, she finally saw Lin Qingchi’s car, but the person who got out was Lin Qingchi’s driver. 

 

Fang Qiong rushed over and grabbed him, demanding answers. 

 

The driver told her that President Lin had gone to Italy to marry her boyfriend. As he spoke, he handed her a handful of wedding candy. 

 

Married? 

 

Shen Yunzhou and Lin Qingchi were married. 

 

Fang Qiong held the handful of wedding candy in a daze, her thoughts wandering aimlessly. Suddenly, her body was flung into the air, a sharp pain spread throughout her, and then her consciousness faded. 

 

Half a month later. 

 

“What’s this?” 

 

At the old Lin family residence, Lin Ye put on her glasses to examine the document Lin Qingchi handed over. After a few minutes, she widened her eyes and stood up abruptly. 

 

“You’re pregnant!” Lin Ye looked at Shen Yunzhou, who was standing beside Lin Qingchi, with excitement that replaced her usual cold demeanor. “Come, come, have a seat.” 

 

Shen Yunzhou, startled by her sudden enthusiasm, sat down cautiously and glanced at Lin Qingchi as if asking for help. 

 

“When Mother asks you to sit, you sit,” Lin Qingchi said, handing the bag of wedding candy to Aunt Lin and instructing her to distribute it. 

 

“How far along are you?” Lin Ye crouched to get a closer look at Shen Yunzhou’s still barely noticeable belly. “Isn’t your waist a bit too thin? You need to eat more.” 

 

Shen Yunzhou: “…” 

 

“Four months,” Lin Qingchi replied. “I ordered custom rings two months ago, and we got married abroad a month ago.” 

 

“I don’t care where you got married.” 

 

Lin Ye waved off the unnecessary details. She reached out to touch Shen Yunzhou’s belly and grinned. “Four months along, huh? Just five more months to go. I can wait.” 

 

Shen Yunzhou: “…” 

 

Lin Ye could be… quite surprising. 

 

After giving instructions to Aunt Lin about dinner, Lin Qingchi walked over and sat beside Shen Yunzhou. “Mother, I know you love children. You can raise the baby when the time comes.” 

 

“Really?” Lin Ye’s eyes lit up with a startling brightness, though she quickly caught sight of Shen Yunzhou’s frown and added, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to raise the child well.” 

 

Shen Yunzhou: “…” 

 

Lin Qingchi patted his shoulder reassuringly. 

 

“Deal. The baby will be yours to raise after birth. But let’s be clear, you’d better treat Zhouzhou well. If not, I’ll take the child back and cut off your allowance.” 

 

Lin Ye’s expression froze. 

 

Shen Yunzhou quietly observed her. 

 

After a moment, Lin Ye forced a smile. 

 

“Fine, fine. As long as I get to raise the baby, I’ll let you in the house.” 

 

Shen Yunzhou’s eyes lit up, and for the first time, he looked genuinely happy. 

 

Feeling slightly awkward under his gaze, Lin Ye quickly stood up and shouted for Aunt Lin to prepare dinner before retreating to the kitchen, taking her time to get there. 

 

Shen Yunzhou tilted his head, and Lin Qingchi winked at him. “Feel better now?” 

 

“Mm!” Shen Yunzhou smiled, lowering his head to glance at the ring on his finger. While no one was looking, he leaned closer and gave Lin Qingchi a quick kiss. 

 

That evening, the three of them shared a meal together. It was only then that Lin Ye noticed Shen Yunzhou’s preferences were almost identical to her own. 

 

Though satisfied internally, Lin Ye kept a stern face and ordered the couple to leave after dinner. 

 

Shen Yunzhou softly said goodbye and, hand in hand with Lin Qingchi, left the house. However, they didn’t leave the grounds immediately, opting instead for a quiet walk. 

 

“I heard Fang Qiong was in a car accident?” 

 

“Did she die?” Shen Yunzhou asked. 

 

“No,” Lin Qingchi replied. “She didn’t injure her head, so she should recover soon.” 

 

“Oh.” 

 

[Ding, he only loves you.] 

 

I know. 

 

Lin Qingchi responded inwardly to 005. 

 

“Yunzhou,” Lin Qingchi stopped walking and turned to face him. “I love you.” 

 

Shen Yunzhou froze momentarily, then smiled in response to his beloved’s confession. “Mm.” 

 

Mm. 

 

Lin Qingchi’s eyes curved into crescents as he pulled Shen Yunzhou into an embrace, closing his eyes in silence. 

 

Chi Qing. 

 

See you in the next world.
