Having learned from his mistakes, and not wanting the same regret to happen again, Xu Yanshu has been thinking about how to handle his relationship with the Zhou family these past few days.
Qin Shengyi nodded emphatically and said solemnly, "Brother Yan Shu, this is just a suggestion."
"No matter what choice you make, I will unconditionally support you and always be by your side."
Meeting the girl's pure eyes, Xu Yanshu's heart softened. He reached out and affectionately ruffled Shengyi's hair, a gentle smile lingering in his eyes.
"I'm going back to Kyoto the day after tomorrow!"
Qin Shengyi was slightly taken aback, then remembered what Jiang Zhengyu had mentioned on the phone yesterday, and he tentatively asked, "Is it because Xie Junyang is about to be sentenced?"
"Yes, Uncle He and I both want to go back to be witnesses. We'll stay for two days and then come back."
After dinner, Xu Yanshu offered to take Qin Shengyi home, as usual, but she politely declined.
As soon as Qin Shengyi stepped into the house, he looked up and met a sharp gaze.
"So you've finally decided to come back? You've gone back to chasing after that divorced boyfriend of yours again?!"
Qin Shengyi's face darkened, once again hurt by her mother's sharp tongue. At the same time, she couldn't help but glance resentfully at her father next to her, secretly complaining that this man didn't even give her a heads-up beforehand.
To quell her anger, Sheng Yi spoke up for the person involved in a very low voice, "Don't say that. Brother Yan Shu is only a few years older than me, and being divorced isn't part of his criminal record."
The moment she finished speaking, Qin Yao raised her eyes and gave the person in front of her a cool glance, her slightly furrowed brows full of disdain.
It's a waste that Qin Yao, who was always so free and easy, gave birth to such a love-obsessed child.
Cough cough—
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, Ouyang Ming coughed lightly twice as a reminder, and then gently patted his wife's shoulder.
Qin Yao softened her expression at the right moment, "Xiao Yi, I hope you can distinguish that gratitude and love are two completely different things."
“I know you are very grateful to Xu Yanshu for standing up for you in that time, and your father and I are also very grateful to him, but that doesn’t mean…”
“Mom, I’m not a three-year-old anymore. I know what I’m doing.”
Before the other person could finish speaking, Qin Shengyi interrupted without warning, her attitude unexpectedly firm: "I want to be with Yan Shu because I like him, and I am very certain of that."
"Don't say that you are grateful to him. I just hope that you don't look at her with prejudice. Being divorced doesn't mean anything."
As she spoke, Qin Shengyi's eyes unconsciously reddened.
In her eyes, Yan Shu was truly the best person in the world. It was rare that they could reunite after more than a decade, and it was also rare that when she fell in love with him, he was reciprocating her feelings so well.
However, her parents always tried to make things difficult for Yan Shu, and she really didn't want to see Xu Yan Shu suffer humiliation and injustice because of her.
Why are you crying?
Qin Yao frowned in confusion. She turned her face slightly to the other side and waved to the other person, signaling them to leave quickly.
Ouyang Ming quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Alright, Nannan, you've had a busy day, you should go back to your room and rest!"
Qin Sheng hesitated, but ultimately said nothing more and turned to go back upstairs without uttering a word.
Click—
Hearing the crisp sound of the door closing upstairs, Qin Yao couldn't help but speak up, her tone full of resentment, "Look at what you've done to your daughter. She starts crying as soon as you say a few words to her."
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I'll definitely have a good talk with him later!" Ouyang Ming didn't dare to refute and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"However, Xu Yanshu is a really good young man. Like mother, like daughter. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe your daughter's judgment!"
Is this just a disguised form of self-promotion?
Qin Shengyi glanced at the person with disapproval, and after thinking for a moment, he said quietly, "Seeing is believing. When I have time, I must go and meet this Xu Yanshu in person."
...
Xu Yanshu and He Wen returned to Kyoto a day early, and after landing, they went directly to the law firm where Jiang Zhengyu worked.
"It is said that the police station had previously called Xie Huanyu to ask if she would abide by the court's verdict against Xie Junyang, and Xie Huanyu naturally agreed unconditionally."
"After Xie Junyang found out, he immediately lost his temper and started making a scene inside. He was only stopped after being violently suppressed by the prison guards!" Jiang Zhengyu said, shrugging nonchalantly, his tone inscrutable.
He Wen gave a noncommittal scoff before speaking.
"He still thinks he's the glamorous Chairman Xie!"
Xu Yanshu curled his lips in mockery. With his death imminent, the old man was still trying to make a last-ditch effort.
Xie Huanyu had already made her choice before this, and she was determined not to be soft-hearted anymore. Otherwise, she would have definitely found a way to get the person out of there long ago.
Xu Yanshu snapped out of her reverie and looked up at Jiang Zhengyu sitting opposite her. "Where's your car? I want to go see the Xiwai Cemetery."
"Hey kid, did you know I just got a new car?!"
He took the car keys thrown to him, then resolutely turned and left the law firm. After getting into the car, he drove directly to the Xiwai Cemetery.
