"You're seeing that guy from the Xie family?" The woman's face showed a deep weariness and a slightly weathered look, but it didn't stop people from seeing that she was a beautiful woman when she was young.
The woman was Lin Qingying's mother and the former head of the Lin family.
Lin Qingying ignored what the woman said and continued doing her own thing.
Seeing that Lin Qingying ignored her words, the woman looked somewhat displeased, but quickly changed her expression to one of concern, "You won't admit it?"
"What's there to be ashamed of? It's not like my third brother is unworthy of my attention, he just doesn't want to talk to you," Lin Qingying said bluntly.
"Did he force you into this relationship?" The woman seemed not to hear Lin Qingying's words, as if the answer was unimportant.
Hearing the woman's words, Lin Qingying frowned and retorted, "I forced him."
"He... is not a good match for you. He is ambitious in establishing Qiyuan and expanding the Xie family. The Lin family will be destroyed in your hands." The woman's words were indeed a fairly objective assessment, and they were also what the upper class in the capital thought.
"A good match? The 'good matches' you're talking about are just women who sleep with disreputable men every now and then. I don't want to catch any diseases."
"Leaving aside how much you know about him, and whether he would actually do what you're describing, if he truly desires the Lin family's assets, I will offer them up without hesitation."
Lin Qingying didn't want to pay attention to her, but she couldn't tolerate what Xie Wei had said, so her tone was naturally anything but kind.
"I am your mother, how could I possibly harm you!" the woman said, her voice trembling, her emotions running high.
"Mother? Bringing up the word 'mother' now?" Lin Qingying said disdainfully, "I'll say it again: when have you ever fulfilled your duties as a mother?"
"you……"
"How about it? Do you think everyone is as hypocritical as you, treating your family as tools and binding those around you with your own desires? Don't you find that a bit ridiculous?"
Upon hearing her words, the woman's eyes trembled, she lowered her head slightly, her lips opened and closed as if she wanted to say something but found herself speechless.
There was a long silence.
Lin Qingying snorted softly upon seeing this and left.
Although she knew this would be the outcome, she couldn't help but feel disappointed. This feeling was unavoidable, and Lin Qingying could only face it.
Xie Wei once said that if you feel tired, just take a break. The sky won't fall, and besides, even if it does, he, being tall, will hold it up.
That makes sense, so Lin Qingying resolutely turned the steering wheel and drove home.
Back home, Lin Qingying couldn't wait to run back to Xie Wei's room. Although he had been gone for a long time and the bedding had been washed, she could still smell his scent.
Lin Qingying knew that the struggle in Nancheng was fierce, and she was afraid that Xie Wei was busy, so she didn't dare to disturb him now. She wanted to make sure he comforted her when he came back.
It would be best to take him to meet that woman, let her know how happy she is now, and provoke her.
Just thinking about it makes me happy.
Only Su Tang and Li Ning were at home. Both of them could sense that Lin Qingying's mood was somewhat off, but they were afraid of touching on her privacy and didn't want to ask too much.
Su Tang knew more about it than Li Ning.
"Candy, Qingying doesn't seem to be in a good mood... and her husband isn't here... what should we do?" Li Ning asked worriedly.
Su Tang looked up at the upstairs window, pursed her lips, and said, "Watch me."
"Li Ning and I are going shopping in Jiangmen, want to come along?" Su Tang approached Lin Qingying, after all, they were sisters, and she wanted to show her more care and love.
"Go!" Lin Qingying stood up, perking up. "Let me get dressed."
Su Tang went downstairs and winked at Li Ning, meaning it was all settled.
Li Ning clapped her hands in a playful, supporting manner.
A moment later, seeing Lin Qingying come downstairs wiping her face with a washcloth, Su Tang rolled her eyes. "Didn't you say you just needed to wash your face after getting ready?"
"My face is the best makeup I can do," Lin Qingying said confidently. "Besides, Third Brother isn't here, so who am I dressing up for?"
Li Ning nodded in agreement with Lin Qingying's words.
What could Su Tang say? Wasn't that what she thought too?
And so the three of them set off for Jiangmen.
Although they didn't have any elaborate makeup, the three women's faces were already stunning without any cosmetic enhancements, and each had their own unique figure.
This inevitably attracted all sorts of attention.
Fortunately, since Xie Wei wasn't there, Su Tang carried Li Jie and her group's bags, so the shopping trip went smoothly without any inconsiderate people disturbing their enjoyment.
The three women strolled around the streets, helping each other choose clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics. When they got tired, they would find a restaurant for afternoon tea to rest for a while, and then they would start shopping again.
The three of them also visited men's shops and adult clothing stores, buying a lot of things, all for Xie Wei in various ways, each with their own agenda.
It was quite late after they finished shopping, so the three of them had dinner before going home.
On her way home, Lin Qingying glanced at Su Tang and Li Ning sitting on either side of her.
Although they didn't say it, she knew they were there for her because they sensed something was wrong with her emotions.
No wonder they're such good sisters!
A sense of joy quietly crept into my heart.
After Lin Qingying finished showering, she received a video call from Xie Wei.
Xie Wei, on the other end of the video, had his face close to the screen, wearing a black suit and loosening his tie with his fingertips, exuding an air of asceticism.
Lin Qingying seemed to be thinking of something, her cheeks began to flush, and she even swallowed, looking like a shy young woman.
Unfortunately, since it was a video call, Xie Wei couldn't notice anything unusual about Lin Qingying. He only saw that she had just come out of the shower, and the neckline of her pajamas was very low, allowing him to see right through her clothes.
She wasn't wearing anything.
Xie Wei had no choice but to shift his attention to the topic of the phone call and bring up what had happened that morning.
Li Ning sent him a message saying that he knew it was the day Lin Qingying was going back to the Lin family for dinner, and he guessed roughly what had happened.
"Is little Lin Qingying unhappy today?" Xie Wei called her "little girl" as if he were coaxing a child.
"I wasn't too unhappy, having Ningning and Tangguo with me made things much better."
"I'm just a little bit unhappy," Lin Qingying said, counting on her fingers to show Xie Wei how much she was upset.
Xie Wei raised an eyebrow and said softly, "Then how should Third Brother coax little Lin Qingying to make her happy?"
Although it was coming through a cell phone, Xie Wei's voice was still magnetic and pleasant to listen to. As he spoke those words, Lin Qingying couldn't resist and turned her head away, pretending to be distracted.
"Then, Third Brother, tell me a story to lull me to sleep."
Xie Weizhen on the other end of the "Brother Rong, look for me" video was searching for the story.
But after a while, he started telling stories to coax Lin Qingying.
Lin Qingying wasn't idle either; she picked up another phone to record it.
The two continued their video call until Lin Qingying fell asleep, and the call remained uninterrupted.
