Chapter 36 It’s not my intention to separate the couple
After a few seconds, she looked away without mentioning the beads, but emphasized the meaning of her previous words.
"I have no ill will or prejudice towards Miss Shen, but for the sake of Lan Ting and the relationship between the family, I have to do this. I hope Miss Shen can understand the difficulties of being a mother."
Shen Zhiyi was silent for a long time, but asked a question that had nothing to do with this matter: “Auntie, did you just come from home?”
A brief silence.
Qin Lan looked at Shen Zhiyi blankly, wondering if she didn't want to face this question so she deliberately changed the subject?
She then said, "I know this isn't right. If you have any requests, please let me know. If I can satisfy them, I will definitely do so. But you can't use Lan Ting as a condition."
Shen Zhiyi held her chin with her palm, her face calm, without the slightest embarrassment of being disliked.
She said, "I'm sorry, auntie, I can't promise you this."
The light in Qin Lan's eyes instantly went out, and her expression became gloomy, as if she had suddenly lost the ability to speak. She was silent for a long time.
"I have no words to express my gratitude to the teacher for his hard work in tutoring me during this period. This amulet is a token of my gratitude. I hope you will accept it."
A red paper talisman appeared in front of Qin Lan.
She was a little stunned and looked very surprised.
"this……"
“Carry it with you for peace and security.”
"Oh, thank you for taking the trouble."
Qin Lan couldn't help but reveal a look of piety as she took the amulet in both hands.
The cell phone rang at this moment.
She looked down for a while, her expression changed, and she looked up and said to Shen Zhiyi: "I have something to do, Miss Shen, don't take my words to heart, thank you for this talisman."
Shen Zhiyi didn't keep them. He stood up and sent them to the door. He watched them go downstairs before returning to his room.
After the door closed, her index finger and thumb rubbed together, making a crisp sound. A golden dotted line then faintly emerged, wrapped around her index finger, passed through all obstacles, and extended to the downstairs.
The driver followed Qin Lan and couldn't help but say, "Fourth Madam, it seems that the things that the Fourth Master asked you to do have not been completed. The Fourth Master said that if we don't persuade this little girl to leave our Young Master today, our Young Master's situation will become very embarrassing."
"Shh..." Qin Lan crouched down and pulled the driver to a farther place. Then she glanced at the window on the second floor and whispered, "Keep your voice down."
She frowned, thinking for a moment, and asked the driver, "Did I just act like one of those vicious moms in idol dramas who'd do anything to break up the hero and heroine?"
"Not really, you're more of a coward." The driver said honestly.
Qin Lan let out a long breath: "It's good that he doesn't look like that. Look how sensible this child is. He even gave me a lucky charm. He's so cute."
"No matter how cute she is, it can't change the fact that she sent me to jail. With this in mind, there's no way I'll let her into the Xiao family."
"you're right."
Qin Lan thought deeply, her brow furrowed. "But my son loves her dearly. You can't ask me to break them up, right?"
"Fourth Madam, for the sake of family harmony, you must fight."
"I did hit him. I said such harsh words just now, twice. But things don't always go as planned. There's nothing I can do about it, right?" She spread her hands.
Driver: "This... How can you tell that the Third Young Master is deeply in love with her, rather than her clinging to him? Nowadays, many small anchors seem to be soaring to fame by relying on rich men. You have to pay attention."
"The Buddhist beads in her hand are proof. They were given to my son by a high-ranking monk to ensure his safety. He never lets go of them. Now they're in her hands. Isn't that enough to prove the point?"
The driver was speechless for a long moment, then said, "So you mean to stand on their side and oppose the master?"
Qin Lan waved her hand: "There is always a way. Maybe with time, the old man's knot will be untied. Besides, I think that big brother is not in jail for no reason. He really did something wrong. Zhiyi, this kid, did the right thing."
"Oh, my Fourth Madam, please don't say this in the Xiao family, even to the Fourth Master."
Qin Lan didn't care: "Alright, alright, let's leave it at that. Let him make his own decision about my son's affairs. I don't care anymore. He's 26, not 6. How can I control him?"
As she spoke, she got into the car and said, "Let's drive to the Qin family."
The driver was surprised: "You just came out of Qin's house, and you're going there again?"
"Why do you have so many questions?"
driver:"……"
The Qin family lived in the wealthy northern area of Nandu City. Most of the people living here were the "new rich," or those who had made their fortunes in the past decade.
Qin Lan's family moved here from their hometown to make it easier for their children to go to college. They have been living here well, but recently they have been planning to move.
Well, we had another quarrel today over this matter, so I called her back.
As soon as I got off the car, a beautiful girl ran out of the villa.
"Aunt, please go in and talk to Dad. He's angry again."
Qin Lan said: "Don't worry, I'll go take a look."
After rushing in, she remembered something and asked, "Xiaoyi, did getting caught beating someone irritate your dad?"
A few days ago, Qin Xiaoyi brought a group of people to bully a family of three. They beat them into the hospital and were then locked up for a few days.
Qin Xiaoyi shook her head: "It's unfair, Auntie. I beat those people up and they deserved it. Mom and Dad have forgiven me. Dad's temper has nothing to do with these things."
After quickly rushing to the second floor, Qin Lan was stunned by the scene before her.
The brother who I remembered as having a mild temper was now full of anger, like a domestic violence man. He lay on the bed and smashed everything he saw, extremely irritable.
"Move! Move now! There's dirt in this room!" he yelled.
"You said you'd move, but it's not that easy. You don't want to live in a nice house, but you have to move to those rental houses outside, right?"
Qin Xiaoyi said weakly: "Mom, maybe what Dad said is true. There may really be something wrong with this house."
"What a bullshit problem! We lived here for two years and everything was fine, but when he came back from a trip out of town, there was a problem? I don't think it's the house that's the problem, it's his heart!"
There was something else in her words, and Qin Lan heard it.
"Sister-in-law, please don't worry. Why don't you take my brother to the hospital? He looks really bad."
"Don't mention it, I just came back from the hospital! There's nothing wrong with him, it's just that he changed his mind and wants to fight with me, get a divorce, and sell the house to support another woman!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
The couple immediately started arguing and even fighting.
Qin Lan and Qin Xiaoyi hurried to stop them.
Qin Xiaoyi pulled her mother away, and Qin Lan pulled her brother away.
Just then, my brother became quiet.
Qin Lan held her brother's arm and felt that all the hostility in his eyes disappeared, and he was like a completely different person.
"What are you doing?" He looked at the three women blankly.
