When asked this question, Zhou Xing's mother suddenly felt a little confused. She couldn't remember how her little sister had integrated into her life and become an indispensable part of it. It was as if the child was born to be here.

"She's Zhou Yue's goddaughter, and Qin Xiaoyu is her biological mother." Commander Wang clarified the relationship in just a few words.

“Yes, Xiaoyue’s goddaughter, my god-granddaughter.” Zhou Xing’s mother smiled proudly.

"From now on, she'll be like my own granddaughter," Bai Weiwei said with a smile.

"Heh." Zhou Xing's mother was speechless for a moment, unable to respond to that.

"But now we're even closer than if she were our own granddaughter," Commander Wang continued, trying to smooth things over.

Qing Xiaoxu had already sensed something was amiss. She leaned back on the sofa, her eyes narrowing. Qin Xiaoyu knew she was observing, and she couldn't let her notice anything.

"You guys chat, I'm going to keep my little sister company." Qin Xiaoyu stood up.

"Go ahead." Commander Wang wished he could blow Qin Xiaoyu away immediately and speak up for Zhou Xing's mother.

"Sister-in-law, don't go! We still have so much to talk about." Bai Weiwei still had a smile on her face.

“You young people talk too much, go ahead, don’t stay with us,” Qing Xiaoxu said. Bai Weiwei got up, went to Qin Xiaoyu’s side, took her hand, and walked upstairs.

Qin Xiaoyu felt so disgusted that she wanted to shake her hand off, but with everyone watching, she could only endure it for a while.

Bai Weiwei was very familiar with the Zhou family's layout, and she dragged Qin Xiaoyu directly onto the rooftop.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say!" Qin Xiaoyu shook off her hand.

"Please, give him to me." Bai Weiwei's pale face was streaked with tears, and her pitiful appearance startled Qin Xiaoyu.

"You, you switch roles too quickly, I'm not used to it." Qin Xiaoyu thought Bai Weiwei was there to settle scores with her, but she didn't expect her to back down first.

"Sister-in-law, you must not understand what it feels like to love someone and not be able to have them. I've liked him since I was six years old, for fifteen years. Please have pity on me and let me have him." Bai Weiwei was already in tears.

"Wait, matters of the heart aren't something I can control. Go find him, and if he goes with you, I absolutely won't stop him." Qin Xiaoyu finally managed to find the right script and get her lines right.

It seems that Qiong Yao's novels are based on reality; this is a veritable rooftop version of "Romance in the Rain."

"He's bewitched! To tell you the truth, my family has always disapproved of our marriage. That's why I went around in circles and got involved with Jingtian. Now that I've been jilted, I'm tainted, and my family no longer objects to my choices, but you've stolen my love..."

Qin Xiaoyu was somewhat moved upon hearing this. She had originally thought that Bai Weiwei's behavior towards Zhou Xing was just a young woman's capriciousness, but she hadn't expected that Bai Weiwei would be willing to humble herself and lower her standards for Zhou Xing's sake, which was quite rare.

"Listen to me, this can't be won over, feelings can't be forced..." Qin Xiaoyu wanted to reason with her.

"You're the most arrogant person I've ever met! Believe me or not, if I had been one step ahead, you wouldn't have been a part of this at all!" Bai Weiwei's tone hardened.

"Really? You're quite confident, aren't you?" Qin Xiaoyu's sympathy vanished instantly. Ha, Qin Xiaoyu, you saintly bastard, you got slapped in the face, didn't you? Serves you right for being so overly compassionate.

"So you're saying you won't allow it?" Bai Weiwei's eyes narrowed. She looked a lot like Qing Xiaoxu. Qin Xiaoyu began to think that she might have been deceived by Qing Xiaoxu's appearance. Like mother, like daughter; neither of them were simple.

"I told you, whether I get to decide or not isn't up to you. Go find him. It's none of your business how I am." Qin Xiaoyu turned and walked into the building. The rooftop was too hot, and her back was soaked with sweat. She didn't even know how to find a comfortable place for negotiations; her skills were too low.

Qin Xiaoyu's unintentional disdainful look completely enraged Bai Weiwei.

"Qin Xiaoyu." Bai Weiwei's voice was cold, and Qin Xiaoyu couldn't help but stop.

"You'd better watch yourself."

"Ha, whatever you want." Qin Xiaoyu pushed open the door and went inside.

Laughter echoed downstairs. When Qin Xiaoyu returned to the living room, she saw three women clapping along to accompany her younger sister.

The little girl, wearing patent leather shoes, was seriously tap dancing.

"Where did you go?" Zhou Xing's mother couldn't help but ask when Qin Xiaoyu came in.

"I looked around but didn't see my little sister." Qin Xiaoyu walked to the sofa, and her little sister rushed into her arms, pointing to the new leather shoes for her to see.

"Where's Weiwei?" Qing Xiaoxu looked at the doorway.

"I didn't see her. She left as soon as she stepped out the door," Qin Xiaoyu said without looking up.

"Little Fish, look at my hair, there's always a strand sticking up, it looks so awkward, go fix it for me." Commander Wang finally found an excuse.

"You're staying for dinner tonight? It's been a long time since we've all gotten together, and it looks like you're having a great time," Zhou Xing's mother said, inviting the guests to stay.

"I can't stay any longer. There are activities tonight. If Xiaoyu wants to stay, she has to go back and get her hair done first, otherwise I won't allow it," Commander Wang pouted and said coquettishly.

“Look at her, she’s still the same as when she was a child after all these years,” Zhou Xing’s mother said, pointing at Commander Wang with a smile.

“Yes, the three of us were best friends when we were in the performing arts troupe, and now we’re all old ladies in the blink of an eye,” Qing Xiaoxu said with emotion.

"Auntie, you're not old at all! Time has only added to your charm; it wouldn't hurt to do anything to your faces," Qin Xiaoyu said sincerely.

"Oh my, this little fish is usually quiet, but when she does speak, she's so cultured. You really can't judge a book by its cover." Zhou Xing's mother only knew Qin Xiaoyu as someone who could make money and handle things, but she never expected her to speak so eloquently.

"Let's go, let's go!" Commander Wang dragged Qin Xiaoyu out without saying a word.

At the door, Qin Xiaoyu was surprised to see Bai Weiwei sitting in the car, her back ramrod straight, her expression hidden.

"What are you talking about? It looks disgusting to me," Commander Wang whispered in Qin Xiaoyu's ear, linking his arm with hers.

“She came to force me to hand over Zhou Xing to him.”

"Tsk tsk, girls these days are really bold!" Commander Wang exclaimed.

Qin Xiaoyu couldn't help but chuckle; this was how elders viewed young people in every era.

"What do you say? Stop grinning like an idiot, I'm in a hurry!" Commander Wang pinched Qin Xiaoyu.

"No, no! It hurts. I told her to go find Zhou Xing, don't bother me."

"Why is my heart pounding so hard? I have a bad feeling about this," Commander Wang said uneasily, patting his chest.

"Aunt Wang, it's alright. Even if the sky falls, Zhou Xing will hold it up. Don't be afraid."

“You have no idea who Bai Weiwei is. She was Wang Lei’s classmate when she was a child, and I know a thing or two about her.” Commander Wang said in a low voice, “This girl looks gentle and lovely, but she’s ruthless to the core.”

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"They used to be classmates. There was a girl in the class whose family background was similar to Bai's. That girl was also very outstanding and always competed with Bai Weiwei for first place. Once, in a writing competition, she copied Bai Weiwei's diary and submitted it, winning first place. Everyone thought Bai Weiwei would make a fuss, but she remained silent. There was going to be a poetry competition soon, and Bai Weiwei carefully prepared a poem. The girl copied it again. But this time, not only did she not win first place, but because she used the wrong line from Chairman Mao's poem, her parents were also implicated, causing quite a stir."
