Chapter 172 Destined
Sitting down at a window seat, Xu Qingsui handed the menu to Qin Fang: "Brother Qin, take a look at what you like to eat. I'm treating you tonight, so don't be polite to me."
"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll eat yourself into a pulp!" Qin Fang was really rude and ordered six dishes and a soup. Judging from the names, they were all Xu Qingsui's favorites.
He even knew what she liked to eat.
She couldn't help but wonder, if she hadn't met Huo Xilin, would she have fallen in love with Qin Fang?
But there is no "if" in this world. The fate between people is destined from the first meeting.
While the dishes were being served, Xu Qingsui explained the purpose of inviting Qin Fang today. She asked him, "Brother Qin, I heard that you have an older brother, is that right?"
The moment she asked the question, the smile on Qin Fang's face disappeared.
"Why are you bringing up that bastard for no reason?"
From Qin Fang's tone, it can be seen that he dislikes his brother very much, and there is even a grudge between them.
"It's like this. I had a lawsuit with Mr. Lu, and my request was to sentence him to death, but he found a very good lawyer and eventually sentenced him to life imprisonment. I heard that this lawyer might be related to Young Master Qin." This was just Xu Qingsui's guess. She deliberately said it so affirmatively just to see Qin Fang's reaction.
"How dare he do something bad here?" Qin Fang was immediately furious: "I saw the lawsuit between you and the Lu family on the news, and I didn't expect him to be involved."
Without waiting for Xu Qingsui to speak, Qin Fang hurriedly said, "Don't worry about this matter. I will definitely check it out. If it is really him who did it, I will give you an explanation!"
"Actually, Brother Qin, I didn't come to you today to ask you to help me with anything. I just wanted to ask you about your elder brother. I'm also curious about why he wants to help the Lu family."
"Why else? It must be to deal with me." Qin Fang thought that it was because of him that Xu Qingsui was implicated, and said guiltily: "He must have found out about your relationship with me, so he deliberately used this incident to disgust you and get revenge on me! In the final analysis, it was me who implicated you in this matter."
Xu Qingsui was confused. Was it really as Qin Fang said?
But she always felt that the truth of the matter was not that simple.
"Is there any grudge between you and him?" Xu Qingsui couldn't help asking.
Qin Fang sighed, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You should have heard of my life story. I am not the child of the Qin family's principal wife. I am an illegitimate child. I have lived with my mother since I was a child. Later, I was found by the Qin family and taken back."
Xu Qingsui knew about this matter. When he was a child, his friends who played together often asked him where his father was, but he could only remain silent every time, because he had asked his mother this question countless times when he was so young, and the answer to this question was also silence.
Later one day, several black cars came and took away the mother and son. Since then, Xu Qingsui never saw Qin Fang again until the last time when they met again because of the ancient painting.
"It was his mother who killed my mother, and he..." Qin Fang closed his eyes, his face full of pain, he clenched his fists, the veins on his forehead bulged, he was trying hard to suppress the rage in his heart.
Seeing this, Xu Qingsui hurried over, squatted beside him and patted his trembling shoulders: "I'm sorry, Brother Qin, I didn't know these things, I'm sorry for making you recall them."
She seemed to be able to guess that life would not be easy after returning to the Qin family.
Qin Fang gradually calmed down. He opened his eyes and looked at Xu Qingsui who was so close to him. It seemed that he was greatly healed. He said, "At first, I didn't live in the Qin family compound. Instead, I lived with my mother in a suburban villa. But that woman threatened me every now and then. My mother was in poor health and worried about me every day. Finally, one night, that woman came again. The two of them locked themselves in the room and talked about something. After she left, my mother coaxed me to sleep and then took pills to commit suicide."
Xu Qingsui felt very sympathetic towards Qin Fang. Mistakes between adults should not involve children. Perhaps Qin Fang's mother was wrong to be a mistress. From the perspective of the principal wife, it seemed reasonable for her to vent her resentment and resentment, but Qin Fang was innocent.
As if he had seen through Xu Qingsui's inner thoughts, Qin Fang asked, "Do you think my mother is also at fault in this matter? She shouldn't be a mistress."
Xu Qingsui didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say. As Qin Fang's friend, she should comfort him.
"My mother is not the mistress, that woman is!"
Xu Qingsui's eyes widened in shock, and he listened quietly as Qin Fang continued, "My mother and my father were college classmates, and they were in love. At that time, my mother didn't know my father's true identity, and they imagined their future together, saying that after graduation, when my father's job was stable, they would get married."
"But after graduation, the two began a long-distance relationship. At that time, my mother didn't know that the Qin family had already prepared a suitable fiancée for my father. In order to force my father to agree, they locked him up and prevented him from contacting the outside world. They even teamed up with that woman to drug my father and made the matter a fait accompli."
"Finally, under their coercion, my father had to agree to cut off contact with my mother. One month before they got married, my father finally found an opportunity and secretly came to see my mother. His original intention was to say goodbye, but he couldn't control his emotions and didn't expect that I would be born."
"My mother knew nothing about it from the beginning to the end. When she was holding the pregnancy test stick with two bars and wanted to tell my father the good news, she saw on the news that my father was married to another woman. At that moment, her world collapsed. She wanted to go to the hospital to have an abortion, but when she was lying on the bed and was pushed into the operating room, she backed off and decided to give birth to me. So she decisively left that city, came here, rented a house, and started to be a single mother."
"But paper can't cover fire after all. That woman eventually found out about my mother and me. In order to protect my mother and me, my father agreed to some request from the Qin family. He finally agreed to take my mother and me back to the Qin family, but with one condition. As long as my mother is alive, she and I cannot set foot in the Qin family compound."
"If I want the Qin family to truly recognize me, she has to die." Qin Fang grabbed his hair fiercely and said angrily: "I know why my mother committed suicide. She did it all for me!"
