"Yingying, stop fooling around."
Gu Jin pulled Gu Yingying along.
Gu Yingying abruptly shook off her brother's hand, and said matter-of-factly, "Did I say something wrong? Or is there something I said that's incorrect?"
"Have you made enough of a scene?!"
Gu Jin's tone became impatient, and he waited for Gu Yingying with a stern face, his words conveying an urge to throw Gu Yingying out immediately.
Gu Yingying ignored her and continued to glare angrily at Ye Yun.
Qin Zheng put his arm around Ye Yun's shoulder, met Gu Yingying's gaze, and frowned, saying, "This is a matter between the two of us. What right do you, an outsider, have to be mean to my wife?"
Gu Yingying was surprised, "Brother Qin Zheng, you..."
"Qin Zheng, are you really going to resign?" Gu Jin frowned, her expression showing disapproval.
A bright future, just throw it all away like that?
He finally made it out of that small mountain valley, and it took him so much effort to get to where he is today. He risked his life for it, and now he's just going to give it all up?
Gu Jin couldn't understand it any more and more.
He couldn't bear to see Qin Zheng's efforts go to waste, so he said in a cold voice, "Qin Zheng, I think you should reconsider."
Qin Zheng: "I've already thought about it."
"So you're thinking of going back to farming in that remote mountain village?" Gu Jin gritted her teeth, clearly losing her initial patience.
Qin Zheng: "You don't know the whole story. The town's transport team won't accept my transfer to logistics."
"Huh? Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jin's angry face showed a hint of surprise and disbelief.
The town's transport team won't accept Qin Zheng?
“That’s it. They still want me to run around and risk my life, but I’m not going to risk it anymore. Gu Jin, maybe you’ll never understand why my attitude is so firm right now.” Qin Zheng finished speaking and stood up with a cold face.
He walked behind Ye Yun, put his arm around her shoulder, and leaned down to ask, "Do you want to eat more?"
If you're not going to eat, are you leaving?
Clearly, today's meal was a bit unpleasant. He hadn't really wanted to come since he learned that Gu Jin might bring Gu Yingying along.
"If they won't let us adjust it, then we won't!"
Gu Yingying also stood up angrily and said anxiously, "Brother Qin Zheng, your team wants you to keep running, so naturally there's a reason why they need you. Don't forget, as long as you go on missions, you'll have a steady stream of rewards. Every time you go on a mission, you'll earn merit. If you accumulate like this, you'll climb higher and higher. Isn't it good to have a high position and great power?"
Qin Zheng paused slightly as he leaned over Ye Yun, then glanced at her coolly.
Snap!
Tian Xiaohui slammed her hand on the table first, grabbed a teacup, and threw it at Gu Yingying!
"You don't know anything!"
Bang!
Before anyone could react, the teacup slammed heavily onto the table in front of Gu Yingying, shattering into pieces. The flying shards startled Gu Yingying, who screamed and burrowed into Gu Jin's arms in terror.
“Brother…” She was terrified and tremblingly complained to Gu Jin.
Gu Jin glanced at Tian Xiaohui with displeasure, her furrowed brows looking as if they could trap a fly.
Tian Xiaohui didn't take him seriously at all, glaring fiercely at Gu Yingying with a warning look. "Your name is Gu Yingying, right? You'd better shut up, I get annoyed just looking at you!"
Gu Jin's temples throbbed slightly as she suppressed her anger and said, "Qin Zheng, isn't your sister being a bit too unreasonable?"
"Making trouble out of nothing?"
Before Qin Zheng could speak, Ye Yun interrupted them with a sneer.
"Gu Jin, aren't you being ridiculous? You always protect your sister no matter what she does, but when it comes to Qin Zheng's sister, it's all considered unreasonable?"
She smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
Gu Jin said with a gloomy face, "Ye Yun, this is not the same thing at all. No matter how unreasonable Yingying is, she did not hurt anyone."
But this sister of Qin Zheng, who appeared out of nowhere, actually threw a cup at his sister. The cup shattered into pieces in front of his sister and almost ruined her face!
"Pah!"
Tian Xiaohui retorted, "Hurt someone? Is it as serious as when Brother Qin Zheng went out on a mission?"
Gu Jin was taken aback.
It seems no one expected that Tian Xiaohui, a village girl, could be so eloquent.
Ye Yun was still smiling, calmly tapping the table, her gaze fixed on Gu Jin: "Gu Jin, you should know how ignorant your sister's words are. Is it that she's brainless, or that you're brainless?"
Gu Jin gritted her teeth, but had no way to refute it.
Ye Yun turned to look at Gu Yingying and scoffed, "Gu Yingying, you said you made Qin Zheng go on missions again and again to accumulate merits, but let me ask you, do you know how dangerous missions are? Do you know how worried our family is every time Qin Zheng goes out? Do you think he can come back safe and sound every time?"
The questions left Gu Yingying with a look of bewilderment.
Her face had turned deathly pale from the teacup Tian Xiaohui had thrown at her. She was a sheltered flower raised in a greenhouse, inexperienced in big events. The intense fear and Ye Yun's questioning made her hide in her older brother Gu Jin's arms, too afraid to utter a sound.
Gu Jin ultimately felt sorry for his younger sister.
“I admit that Yingying was wrong, but that’s no excuse for others to lay a hand on her.” He patted Gu Yingying’s head to comfort her, but he had no intention of letting the matter rest. He looked at Qin Zheng with a cold face and said, “Qin Zheng, you have to make her apologize.”
Qin Zheng remained silent.
Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh.
Gu Jin's plan was clearly wrong; Tian Xiaohui was simply not the type of person who would apologize.
"You want me to apologize?"
Sure enough, Tian Xiaohui laughed heartily and even clapped her hands in delight.
Then her face turned cold, and she stared disdainfully at Gu Jin across from her. With a slam, she overturned the rice bowl in front of her and laughed, "You want me to apologize to your sister, a capitalist's daughter? In your next life!"
After saying that, Tian Xiaohui turned and left.
A straightforward mountain girl like her will only ever be beaten into submission; there's no such thing as an apology!
I watched as Tian Xiaohui left.
Qin Zheng and Ye Yun didn't plan to linger. Qin Zheng took Ye Yun's hand, and Ye Yun didn't say anything more. She followed Qin Zheng and walked outside.
"Wait a moment."
Just as they were about to walk out, Gu Jin suddenly called out to them from behind.
Qin Zheng paused in his steps.
"Is there anything else?"
After their argument, Qin Zheng spoke to Gu Jin in a cold tone.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Gu Jin's face, but he wasn't in a hurry to settle scores with Qin Zheng. Instead, he asked somewhat uncertainly, "Was it something they did?"
"Otherwise, what did you think?"
Qin Zheng remained aloof, but his expression softened somewhat after hearing these words.
"Damn it..."
Gu Jin gritted her teeth and cursed.
He, who usually appears very polite and even somewhat humorous, suddenly started cursing without any regard for his image, clearly extremely angry.
Upon seeing this, Ye Yun fell into deep thought.
From Qin Zheng and Gu Jin's conversation, she seemed to realize that someone was deliberately making things difficult for Qin Zheng, intentionally preventing him from being transferred to a safer position...
