She wondered if her son had told Qiuyue that he was a spy and a murderer, otherwise why was her daughter looking at her with that kind of gaze?
This look in his eyes seemed to be something Qiu Jingwen was seeing for the first time. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, and it made him feel that his daughter was filled with mixed feelings of love and hate.
Only Qiu Yang could understand the look in his father's eyes.
He whispered to the autumn moon:
"Qiuyue, why are you drinking baijiu when you're a girl? If you want to toast your elders, just use soda."
Qiuyue insisted:
"Why can't I drink? I want to drink, so I'll drink! Drinking isn't murder or arson."
Qiu Yue's somewhat unusual behavior made Liang Damin and Wei Hong feel that something was amiss.
Liang Damin, in particular, had watched Qiu Jingwen's children grow up. He had visited Qiu Jingwen's house for meals many times, but when had he ever seen Qiu Yue so insistent on drinking baijiu, throw such a tantrum, and spout nonsense about drinking being the same as murder or arson?
Not only Liang Damin, but Wei Hong and his wife were also completely confused.
Jiang Yuping naturally understood the hidden meaning in her daughter's words and was startled.
He thought to himself, "Could it be that my daughter Qiuyue also knows that her father Qiu Jingwen is a spy, and that she, Jiang Yuping, killed that spy Liu Han?"
Otherwise, why would he have lost his temper so badly today, and even mentioned murder and arson?
She noticed Qiu Jingwen's glance at her son Qiu Yang and quickly understood something.
The son, Qiuyang, must have told Qiuyue everything he knew.
After all, it was three families sitting together for a meal and drinks. If the atmosphere was ruined and Wei Hong and the others felt awkward, Jiang Yuping would feel bad too.
Besides, she was thinking that if her case was solved by Shao Jian's investigation team and her husband Qiu Jingwen's identity was also discovered, and the couple ended up in jail, she would still have to rely on Liang Damin and Wei Hong to comfort and take care of their children. After all, the couple had committed crimes, which would be huge news at the Hongqi Factory, and their five children would definitely not be able to bear the blow.
So, she looked at the autumn sun and said:
"Qiuyang, since your sister wants to drink so much, pour Qiuyue some baijiu too. Besides, Qiuyue is already grown up. Even if she gets drunk, she can handle it herself. Life always involves facing many things in order to grow and adapt."
Jiang Yuping spoke in a very low voice, so low that it sounded like she was choking and crying.
Wei Hong was surprised to see her best friend supporting her daughter's drinking.
Besides, she knew that Qiuyue was dating Liang Damin's son, Liang Guoping. Her future father-in-law was still on the table, and the prospective daughter-in-law was asking for a drink of liquor. This was a bit abnormal and improper.
So she looked at Jiang Yuping and asked:
"Yu Ping, do you really agree to let Qiu Yue drink alcohol?"
Jiang Yuping nodded, then said to Qiu Yang:
"Qiuyang, pour your sister some wine. If she doesn't drink, the pain in her heart won't be relieved."
Liang Damin was somewhat bewildered.
The Wei couple were even more bewildered.
What is the pain in her heart?
Qiuyue, a working girl of only nineteen, is in the prime of her youth. What pain could she possibly feel?
Several outsiders shared the same question.
