Early in the morning, Qin Jingru tiptoed out of bed.
The moment her foot touched the ground, she couldn't help but grimace, covering her mouth tightly like a frightened little rabbit. She gathered her things and quietly slipped out.
As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Qin Huairu sitting at the door, looking at a book, facing the room, looking at her with a half-smile.
She gave the rooms in the backyard a major makeover.
In her own words, the middle room was converted into a large living room, where they could hold gatherings or parties. On either side of the living room, one room was converted into a bathroom, and the other into a kitchen. The other rooms were converted into sleeping areas, which significantly increased the spaciousness of the rooms.
The place they are living in now is the former house of Xu Damao, which is quite spacious.
There are two rooms, one in the front and one in the back, and even a dressing room specifically for changing clothes.
The house is big, which means there are many places to stay.
She was exhausted from all the commotion last night and fell asleep in her room, thinking she could sneak out this morning.
Who would have thought that Qin Huairu would be guarding the door?
Qin Jingru gave a simple, honest smile: "Sister, hehe, hehe, good morning!"
"Hmm, that's good. Here, breakfast is on the table. You're not going anywhere today." Qin Huairu pointed with her chin to the breakfast on the table.
"Sis! How could you do this! Didn't I tell you that you can't keep food in this house, it will smell!" Qin Jingru's eyes darted around, her anger rising, and she looked like she was in the right: "I don't care, I'm taking my clothes out to wash."
Qin Huairu looked at her with a smile, without making a move.
Qin Jingru froze for a moment, unsure of what to do.
"Go, go and take all the clothes out of the house and wash them."
Qin Jingru: ...
That's torture!
Those clothes were all bought with great difficulty in Hong Kong. Every time she came back from a big shopping trip, she would hide in her room and spend three days and three nights sorting them out, categorizing them, and dressing herself up beautifully. If she were to take them all out to wash, Qin Jingru wondered if she would be courting death.
"What? Not going to wash anymore?" Qin Huairu smiled, but to Qin Jingru, it was the smile of a devil.
At this point, Qin Huairu sighed: "Don't be so willful. Today, the Xu family will be there, and others will be watching. You are the one who was married through proper channels, so it's not appropriate for me to go. It's more appropriate for you to go. You're almost 40 years old, don't always act like this."
"Sister... I'm only in my early thirties. If I dress up, I'll look like I'm in my early twenties," Qin Jingru retorted.
"Alright, alright, whatever you do, you're not getting away today. They're arriving tonight, and you have to go with them!"
"oh……"
Qin Jingru was well aware that as the empress, she couldn't neglect the proper etiquette. After all, many eyes were on the Wang family, not just this generation, but also the next.
When Wang Shouren got up, Qin Jingru had already started eating breakfast, her cheeks bulging. When she saw Wang Shouren come out, she drank her soy milk and tried to kiss him.
Wang grabbed his skull and pressed it down.
They froze in place.
"Let me kiss you." Qin Jingru waved her hands in the air, seemingly slapping Wang's hands away.
“No way. Don’t even think about it.” Wang Shouren casually picked up a fried dough stick and started eating it.
"Alright, you two, stop fooling around." Qin Huairu said helplessly, "Today, call them and ask if they want to come along."
"Fine, fine, I'll still get scolded." Wang Shouren sighed. He still had to make the call, but he figured the other person wouldn't come along.
I had just walked up to the phone when it rang by itself.
That's quite novel.
When I answered the phone, a somewhat unfamiliar voice came from the other end: "Hello?"
"Hello?"
"dad?"
"Oh, Ruiming, what's wrong?" Wang Shouren was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was going on.
"Dad, were you just recalling my voice...?" Wang Ruiming's voice on the other end was clearly tinged with resentment.
"Ahem, that's not true. Get to the point." Wang Shouren sounded a little guilty.
"It's nothing much. My school is on holiday at the end of the month. I found a girlfriend and I'm planning to bring her back to meet you."
"Oh, then bring it back."
Wang Ruiming: ...
Wang Shouren: ...
Qin Jingru: ...
"What the hell?!" Qin Jingru rushed over and snatched the phone receiver: "Wang Ruiming, you've been messing with a little girl? Well, how old are you to be messing with a little girl?"
"Mom, I'm 21 now, I'll be 22 after the New Year." Wang Ruiming's voice sounded somewhat helpless on the other end of the phone.
"Huh? You're 21 already? I thought you were only a teenager." Qin Jingru was taken aback.
Qin Huairu covered her face, thinking, "Well, I've never met such an unfamiliar family before."
Wang Ruiming's voice came through the phone again: "Mom, you haven't forgotten, have you? I'm planning to go abroad next year, have you?"
"Huh?" Qin Jingru was stunned for a moment: "How...how could I forget..."
"No, you went abroad and you still found a girlfriend! Let me tell you, don't be like your dad! Your dad is a scumbag! You have to treat the girl well, you know?"
"Mom, I'm going out with her..."
"Oh, oh, that's alright. Are you short of money? If it really doesn't work out, I'll go with you next year." Qin Jingru's eyes sparkled.
"Mom, you wanted to go out and play, didn't you?"
As a mother, Qin Jingru was slightly melancholic when her son announced he was going to study in the US when he started college, but she quickly forgot about it. Over the years, her son skipped grades at an alarming rate, but she barely knew anything about it, only that she would greet him and tease him when she came home each year. It must be said, this girl has a carefree attitude; it's something she's had since childhood.
"No! Oh, right! Son, you know what? I have to tell you, your dad found another one, she's already heavily pregnant, and she's coming home today. It's so funny, yesterday, her in-laws even came knocking on our door... Hey, son? Son?!"
"Beep beep beep beep..." A busy tone came from the other end of the phone.
"Hanged up?" Qin Jingru shrugged.
Qin Huairu: ...
Wang Shouren; ...
"You're just being unethical," Wang Shouren sighed.
"Tch, is it my fault? It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, would I have resorted to such tactics against my future daughter-in-law?" Qin Jingru looked at Wang Shouren, this scumbag, with disdain: "Why did I listen to your nonsense back then?"
