Since Shen Qiqi was found missing in the morning, half a day has passed. Shen Mingyu has sent dozens of groups of people to look for her, almost turning Yuzhou City upside down, but still failed to find her.
The servants in front of him were the last group he sent out to look for Shen Qiqi.
Seeing Shen Mingyu's extremely gloomy expression, the servant felt uneasy.
But he couldn't just conjure someone out of thin air, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Return to the master. I'm incompetent and haven't found the second girl yet..."
Bang!
As expected, before the servant could finish his words, Shen Mingyu angrily kicked the chair next to him.
The chair made of fine pear wood shattered into pieces in an instant.
The servant was so frightened that he shrank his neck and didn't dare to breathe. Shen Ning'er hurriedly said to him, "You've worked hard all day, go down and rest first."
"Thank you so much for your understanding, young lady!"
The servant was as if he had been pardoned, and hurriedly knelt to thank Shen Ning'er, but in his heart he secretly blamed Shen Qiqi for being too willful. She actually acted like a spoiled child on a day like today and ran away from home, causing them to be implicated.
Although the second girl and the eldest girl are not born of the same mother, they have the same father. Compared with the gentle and kind eldest girl, the second girl is so naughty that it is unbearable to look at.
While the servant was blaming Shen Qiqi in his heart, he glanced at Shen Ning'er gratefully and turned away.
As soon as the servant left, Shen Ning'er quickly poured a cup of tea.
"Qiqi may still be angry now. Once she calms down and thinks things through, she'll naturally come home... Father, please have a cup of tea to cool down first."
As Shen Ning'er spoke, she held the teacup in both hands and handed it to Shen Mingyu. The latter took it and drank it all in one gulp. Then he slammed the empty teacup on the table and said angrily:
"Humph, she's angry? What right does she have to be angry? It was she who cried and made a fuss, insisting on marrying Changfeng. I sacrificed my old face and begged your uncle Qiu for this marriage, but she actually ran away from home on such an important day as the engagement... What does she want to do? Does she think I haven't lost face enough?"
When he broke off the engagement with the Xie family, many people secretly criticized him for not being able to educate his daughter well.
I didn't expect him to cause such a scene again!
When Shen Mingyu thought that the banquet was about to begin and Shen Qiqi was still hiding somewhere and throwing a tantrum, he wanted to strangle this little girl to death and gasped in anger.
Seeing Shen Mingyu so angry, Shen Ning'er lowered her eyes, pursed her lips and said nothing.
She knew what happened last night, because Qiu Changfeng went to question Shen Qiqi because of her.
What she didn't expect was that after she just cried in front of Qiu Changfeng, that guy ran to question Shen Qiqi angrily. Not only did he generously pay back a large amount of spirit stones to Shen Qiqi for her, he also called her "Ning'er" all the time.
The other party was her future brother-in-law, and he actually called her by her maiden name without any reservation. If outsiders heard it, they would think that she and Qiu Changfeng had some unspeakable secret.
God knows how angry she was when she heard about this.
Because of the spirit stone incident, her reputation had already been severely damaged. If it was revealed that she had stolen her sister's fiancé, her reputation would be completely ruined.
Therefore, even though this was a good opportunity to attack Shen Qiqi, Shen Ning'er didn't dare to say a word against Shen Qiqi.
Not only could she not step on Shen Qiqi, she even had to speak well of Shen Qiqi.
Shen Ning'er pursed her lips, went over and helped Shen Mingyu sit down obediently, and gently advised: "Father, don't be angry, Qiqi is still young..."
"If I remember correctly, Miss Shen Er should be sixteen years old this year, right? Sixteen years old, in the folk, is already old enough to be a mother. It's a bit far-fetched to say that she is young at this age."
The young man's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
Qiu Changfeng walked in with a frosty face, first bowed to Shen Mingyu as a junior, then looked at Shen Ning'er and slowed down his voice.
"Miss Shen, I know you feel bad for your sister, but you also saw that I was just speaking a few words for you yesterday out of a sense of injustice, and then Miss Shen Er started making unwarranted assumptions about our relationship, causing damage to Miss Shen's reputation. It was Qiu who was reckless. Qiu hereby apologizes to Miss Shen, and I ask for her forgiveness."
After Qiu Changfeng finished speaking, he bowed and apologized.
In just a few words, he explained what happened last night, and then he spoke openly and without any concealment, which showed that he had a clear conscience.
Shen Mingyu had originally been quite critical of Qiu Changfeng's behavior last night, and had secretly wondered if Qiu Changfeng really had something going on with Shen Ning'er. However, when he saw Qiu Changfeng's frank and upright style, the doubts in his heart immediately vanished.
As for Shen Ning'er, she was worried that Qiu Changfeng would be so careless as he was last night and say something that would damage her reputation, so she was feeling very uneasy. However, Qiu Changfeng was extremely polite and sensible today. He explained what happened yesterday clearly and helped her clear her grievances. She felt relieved immediately.
She also said hurriedly: "Mr. Qiu, you are too kind. My sister has been spoiled by my father and me since she was young, and her temperament is a bit spoiled. Mr. Qiu, please consider that my sister is young and ignorant and don't bother with her..."
"Miss Shen!" Before Shen Ning'er finished speaking, Qiu Changfeng said in a deep voice: "I just said that your sister is already sixteen years old this year. At this age, she can no longer be said to be young and ignorant. The dirty ones will see the dirty ones. Your sister's behavior is entirely a problem of her personal character.
Last night, Shen Qiqi threw the engagement jade bracelet to him. He just thought that Shen Qiqi was jealous and had a bad temper. When the jealousy passed, she would naturally come over and admit her mistake to him.
After all, this marriage was obtained by Shen Qiqi begging for it.
As a result, Qiu Changfeng waited for most of the night, but Shen Qiqi didn't come to apologize to him.
The next morning, Qiu Changfeng heard that Shen Qiqi had run away from home again, and only then did he realize that Shen Qiqi was serious. He was very angry at the time.
The reason why he hadn't walked away was, firstly, the relationship between the Chen and Qiu families was there, and secondly, Qiu Changfeng was unwilling to admit the fact that he had been broken off from engagement from deep down in his heart.
He had not agreed to this marriage in the first place, but it was his father Qiu Xuan who took it upon himself to agree to it. He had no choice but to accept it, thinking of finding a reason to cancel the marriage later.
What a surprise! Before he could even quit Shen Qiqi, Shen Qiqi quit him first!
A good-for-nothing except for her looks actually dared to cancel Qiu Changfeng's marriage. It was outrageous!
With anger in his heart, Qiu Changfeng said this without any politeness, and almost directly said that Shen Qiqi had a bad character.
Qiu Xuan, who came with Qiu Changfeng, also looked a little unhappy.
