Chapter 476 is truly outrageous.
As soon as she stepped inside, several pairs of eyes turned to her. Staring at those deathly gazes, she steeled herself and went in.
Shi Yi, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, even holding onto Qiao Xing as if afraid she would run away.
"Aunt Wang," Shi Yi greeted first, pulling Qiao Xing along with a smile as they walked over.
"You've arrived, please have a seat," Wang Yu said, gesturing for the two to sit down.
Not everyone knew Shi Yi. After she sat down, she said to Wang Yu, "So many people! I've never seen them before. Auntie, how should I address everyone?"
Wang Yu smiled and introduced them to everyone one by one, while Shi Yi greeted them one by one. Because she stole the spotlight, almost no one noticed Qiao Xing.
Since arriving in the capital, Qiao Xing has been experiencing social anxiety three times a day. Sitting here makes her feel like she's sitting on pins and needles, and the fact that no one notices her actually makes her feel relieved.
After Shi Yi greeted them in turn, someone asked, "I don't think I've seen this girl before. Is she my daughter-in-law?"
Shi Yi felt somewhat embarrassed when she asked that question.
Wang Yu hurriedly smiled and said, "Speaking of my daughter-in-law, I forgot about Xingxing. I forgot to introduce her to you. This is Xingxing, her name is Qiao Xing, and she is Xiao Ce's girlfriend."
As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes turned to Qiao Xing, scrutinizing her several times as if judging her.
Qiao Xing could only maintain a smile, which was almost stiff from smiling so much.
It's still the same three-piece set: where they're from, what they do, and what their family does.
Qiao Xing answered truthfully, "I am from Chongqing, and my parents and I are ordinary people."
No sooner had she finished speaking than a disdainful voice came from the doorway, "What ordinary person? More like a country bumpkin."
Qiao Xing was slightly taken aback. He looked up and saw that Qin Fei had indeed arrived.
Wang Yu noticed that her expression had changed and told her not to come out of the room, but she still ran out anyway.
What are you doing here?
"Why can't I come? Isn't this my home?"
Wang Yu was taken aback, but she couldn't say anything too harsh in front of so many people, so she could only scold, "Children shouldn't interrupt adults. Go back to your room."
"I'm not going back, I'm staying here." Qin Fei strode over, sat down in a chair, and stared intently at Qiao Xing.
Shi Yi quickly advised, "Let Feifei stay here. She probably wants to chat with everyone."
Others also tried to persuade her, and Wang Yu had no choice but to let her stay.
Qin Fei said, "Exactly, why do they keep telling me to go back inside? Are they afraid I'll expose Qiao Xing's identity?"
“She’s your sister-in-law, don’t talk nonsense here.”
Qin Fei snorted, "She's not worthy of being my sister-in-law, and Qin Ce isn't my brother either."
Shi Yi, standing to the side, could barely suppress her smile. This Qin Fei was truly a handy tool.
Shi Yi said, "You also have the surname Qin, and Brother Qin Ce also has the surname Qin, so how come he's not your brother? Even if we're comparing ages, you should call him brother."
Qin Fei rolled her eyes. "There are plenty of people with the surname Qin. Does that mean I have to call every person in the country with the surname Qin 'brother'?"
She probably got scolded last night, because she didn't mention Qin Ce's shameless return.
Wang Yu tried to smooth things over for her, saying, "This child is young and speaks without thinking, please don't take it seriously."
One woman joked, "Feifei has a straightforward personality and speaks her mind freely, which is quite rare."
Wang Yu laughed awkwardly twice.
Qin Fei couldn't tell the difference between good and bad; she only felt that she was being praised, and a smug look appeared on her face.
Then she said, "I'm not lying. Qin Ce hasn't come back for so many years. He himself said he's not Dad's son anymore. It wasn't me who said that."
"Oh? Is that so?"
A burning desire for gossip ignited in everyone's eyes as they stared intently at Qin Fei, eager to hear more secrets from her.
"Of course, he keeps saying he's not a member of the Qin family, yet he's staying here and even brought this woman with him. Who knows what he's up to?"
Shi Yi said, "That's because Grandpa Qin isn't feeling well. He probably just wants to spend more time with Grandpa Qin. You might be overthinking it."
Qin Fei scoffed dismissively, "He lived in Chongqing when he was healthy, but now that he's not healthy, he's come back. Why didn't he think of coming back before?"
Hearing this, Qiao Xing couldn't stand it anymore. She suddenly said, "Why don't you say that Grandpa was in good health when he was in Chongqing, but his health has deteriorated since he came to Beijing?"
Qin Fei suddenly stood up, glaring at Qiao Xing, and said, "What do you mean? Are you saying we mistreated him?"
"I didn't say that. I was just stating the facts. He's in very good health in Chongqing, and that's a fact."
Wang Yu also stood up and grabbed Qiao Xing's arm, "You two stop talking. Fei Fei is young and doesn't know any better. She doesn't watch what she says. Xing Xing, don't be angry."
After saying that, he looked at Qin Fei and said, "And you, go back to your room!"
Qin Fei's temper flared even more. She said irritably, "Why do you always side with others! Didn't you hear what she said? Are you just going to let her slander us?!"
Qiao Xing said, "I was just stating the fact that Grandpa was in good health in Chongqing. I didn't slander anyone. Why are you reacting so strongly? Did you really do something wrong?"
Qin Fei instantly exploded, "You're the one who did something wrong! You country bumpkin, what do you know? If you hadn't hooked up with Qin Ce, would you even have the right to sit here? You're not worthy to speak to me in your entire life!"
What are you arguing about?
A furious shout came from the doorway, and everyone turned around to see Qin Liang standing there with a dark expression.
"I could hear your voices outside, it's outrageous!"
Beside him stood Qin Ce, Qin Yi, and the ever-enthusiastic Third Master, all of them standing there.
Qin Fei was about to speak when Qin Liang glared at her, silencing her. She stood there angrily, her eyes filled with murderous intent as she looked at Qiao Xing.
Qin Ce suddenly said, "So it turns out that everyone doesn't welcome us back. Don't worry, we'll leave tomorrow and won't shamelessly stay here."
Qin Liang was taken aback, then frowned and looked at Qin Ce, "Don't you know what kind of temper she has? You still listen to her nonsense, aren't you still in high school?"
Qin Ce said, "It's precisely because she's straightforward that she speaks the truth. But I'm curious, how does Qin Fei know that Qiao Xing is from the countryside when she's never met her?"
Qin Liang glanced at Wang Yu subconsciously.
Qiao Xing's background and identity have never been revealed to outsiders, and Qin Fei rarely comes back, so how would she know about these things?
Wang Yu's face instantly paled a shade lower.
She didn't say it, but she had told Qin Ji that the two siblings had a good relationship, so Qin Fei must have asked Qin Ji about it.
Some people in the living room outside also came over, curious to see what was going on.
The old man arrived at some point and said, "Xingxing is my neighbor. I watched her grow up. I was the one who brought them together. If you have any opinions or questions, you can ask me, this old man. Don't make things difficult for a young girl."
