113 A big fight
◎Our family will not agree to let her marry in (more)◎
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Song Shixi was startled. Even the comb in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp bang. She turned her head and met Qin Zhiyi's eyes that were red with anger.
I suddenly felt that something was wrong and a chill ran down my back.
As expected, the next second Qin Zhiyi strode in, her eyes filled with anger, her beautiful voice rising, "When did you and my brother get together? You knew he had a girlfriend, and you still, you still..."
The following words seemed difficult to say. Qin Zhiyi bit her lower lip hard and pointed at Song Shixi with disappointment. Even her fingers were shaking violently. It took her a long time to find her voice again.
"How come you and my brother are both so shameless? One of us is meddling, the other is cheating. Neither of us is a good person!"
Hearing this, Song Shixi knew she had made a huge mistake. However, she found it a bit amusing to hear that she was not being partial to anyone, not only scolding her, but also scolding her own brother, whom she usually respected and admired the most. She immediately stood up and explained, "This is a long story. Calm down and don't get so excited. Your brother and I are not in the relationship you said at all."
"Do you think I'll believe it? Just wait, I'm going to tell my sister-in-law and let her handle it!"
“…”
Song Shixi's heart skipped a beat as he watched things become increasingly complicated. But for a moment, he didn't know how to explain. Should he just tell Qin Zhiyi that the sister-in-law he was talking about was right in front of him? Wouldn't that make the girl even angrier?
He was struggling and had just started to speak when he was interrupted by Qin Zhiyi in a harsh voice.
"I……"
"I was wondering why you don't dress so coolly at home. How come you don't know how to behave when you come to Shenzhen? I thought you had changed and were on the right track. I didn't expect it was all fake. You just set your sights on my brother."
"My brother is not a good person either. My sister-in-law is busy with work, so he can't stand being lonely and has such evil thoughts."
"How could you do this? You are brother and sister!"
Qin Yue heard the noise and hurried back from the kitchen. The last thing he heard was these words. His face darkened instantly and he said in a cold voice, "Qin Zhiyi, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Why am I talking nonsense? Don't think I don't know that you didn't come out of Song Shixi's room all night yesterday, and you came again tonight!"
Qin Zhiyi rarely saw Qin Yue angry at her, so she would be lying if she said she was not afraid. However, she was so shocked by such a family scandal that she could not care about anything else. Facing his questioning, her eyes suddenly turned red, with a thin layer of mist in them, and a tear hung on her eyelashes, as if it would fall down at the next second.
Seeing this, Qin Yue pursed his thin lips into a straight line, and the gloom between his brows subsided a lot. He didn't say anything for the time being. He walked to Song Shixi first, handed the water in his hand to her, and looked her up and down carefully. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he felt slightly relieved.
But even so, his brows didn't relax at all, still furrowed tightly, and his voice was flat, "Shi Xi and I have no blood relationship, nor any legal relationship."
Qin Zhiyi immediately retorted: "But she is your sister!"
Hearing this, Qin Yue's forehead veins popped up and he almost laughed out of anger, but reason told him that Qin Zhiyi was extreme at the moment and would definitely not listen to anything else, so he was too lazy to argue with her too much. Even if he argued, it probably wouldn't be of much use, so he changed the subject and continued.
"You've only had one sister-in-law from the beginning to the end. I didn't cheat on her, and she didn't interfere. Do you understand?"
"How is that possible? When you were talking to your sister-in-law, it was clearly the time when you and Song Shixi had just met." Qin Zhiyi retorted subconsciously. The first time she knew that her brother had a girlfriend was at the dinner table at home in Beijing. Her mother asked her brother where the wound on his hand came from.
So her brother is lying now.
"That was a misunderstanding."
Qin Yue finally felt how painful it was when a boomerang pierced his body. He had been too lazy to explain before and had covered it up in a muddled way, which led to the current situation that he couldn't explain even if he had eight hundred mouths.
"Brother, how did you become like this? Not only did you cheat on me, but you also told lies all the time." Qin Zhiyi murmured in disbelief and disappointment.
Qin Yue held his forehead, feeling that he could no longer communicate with Qin Zhiyi. His expression was tense, but he suppressed his emotions and said, "Calm down and we'll talk."
"How can you ask me to calm down? You know the conflict between Song Shixi and me. How can you be with her?" Qin Zhiyi has been holding it in since last night and is almost on the verge of losing control. His face has turned red.
After she finished speaking, she suddenly looked at Song Shixi beside her, her eyes red as she sneered, "You have to turn our family upside down before you're happy, right?"
"I never thought of it that way."
Song Shixi sighed. She knew the situation would turn out like this, so she tried her best to keep it a secret from the rest of the Qin family. But now that it had happened, it was no use regretting it.
She hesitated for two seconds, but still faced Qin Zhiyi's murderous expression and explained, "Your brother didn't lie. We've been together for a long time. It was me you saw here last time. Now you should understand why he chose to avoid you back then, right?"
Song Shixi's voice was calm and powerful, but it pierced Qin Zhiyi's heart like a knife, but his thoughts couldn't help but follow her words, and all his doubts were answered at this moment.
The person she once hated became the sister-in-law she had always wanted to meet. This fact made Qin Zhiyi's face turn pale in an instant. It was even more difficult for her to accept than the misunderstanding just now.
Thinking about how she and her mother had been like clowns, constantly expressing their affection for her brother's girlfriend and urging her brother to take her home, her heart felt like it was being tightly restrained by a big hand, and soon she found it difficult to breathe.
"You're very happy and proud, right? You've finally gotten the rich husband you've always dreamed of. From now on..."
"Qin Zhiyi, how can you talk to your sister-in-law like that?" Qin Yue's face turned ugly. He raised his voice to interrupt Qin Zhiyi's next words, but just as he finished speaking, he heard Qin Zhiyi say, "She is not my sister-in-law, and our family will not agree to let her marry in."
"It's none of your business to meddle in my affairs. Get out of here."
Qin Yue's eyes turned completely cold, revealing suppressed anger. The temperature in the room seemed to burn along with his anger, and the atmosphere was terribly depressing.
After hearing these words, the tears that had been accumulating in Qin Zhiyi's eyes burst out in an instant. She gritted her teeth, pushed Qin Yue away and rushed out.
The room fell into deathly silence.
Qin Yue subconsciously took a step forward, then turned back, reaching out to hold Song Shixi in his arms. Even though he deliberately softened his voice, he could still vaguely hear a hint of coldness and anger in his voice, "Don't take her words to heart."
Song Shixi sighed again, "This is what happened."
"It's all my fault." Qin Yue closed his eyes lightly, frowned tightly, and there was a hint of regret in his tone.
Song Shixi did not blame him for his idea. After all, if she had not agreed reluctantly, things between them would not have gone on, whether it was now or at the beginning of their relationship.
"I was still too careless."
Everything had been going smoothly recently, so they had let down their guard and hadn't thought about being caught. However, they had forgotten that they lived under the same roof, and Qin Zhiyi was not blind or deaf. How could he not notice any clues after so long?
"She discovered it last night, and she's been holding it in until now. I guess she must be feeling bad."
Qin Zhiyi didn't know her secret. From her perspective, this was indeed something difficult to accept, and it was understandable that she would get so angry.
But although Song Shixi understood this truth, she still felt wronged and tired. People are selfish. She had already used up all her strength to explain a few words to Qin Zhiyi and resisted arguing with her. If she was asked to say nice words to coax her, that would be absolutely impossible.
She pinched her brows, thought of something, and quickly pushed Qin Yue away, "Go check on her quickly, don't run out in anger, it's so late now, what if something happens..."
Song Shixi didn't dare to think further. She took a deep breath. Her throat was already dry, and now she didn't want to say a word anymore. She pushed Qin Yue out.
After thinking about it, he felt uneasy again, so he followed Qin Yue out. When they walked out of the room, the door was just as Song Shixi said, and Qin Zhiyi must have run out long ago.
The elevator was going down. This was most likely the one Qin Zhiyi took. It showed that it stopped on the first floor, but she didn't forget to go to the parking lot.
The two took the next bus and rushed to the first floor, where they saw Qin Zhiyi talking to the property management person on duty, as if she was trying to borrow a phone. Perhaps because she was crying so hard, the property management person even brought her some tissues.
Seeing that Qin Zhiyi was unharmed, Song Shixi stopped and put down the heavy stone in her heart. She pushed Qin Yue and said, "You go over. I won't go over. Talk to her properly and stop arguing."
Qin Yue squeezed her palm and said in a deep voice, "I'll take care of it."
Song Shixi didn't have much hope for this, but still nodded and shook his hand back. Only then did he seem to finally feel relieved. He slowly let go of his hand and then strode towards where Qin Zhiyi was.
Song Shixi walked to a chair in the rest area and sat down, then took a sip of the water Qin Yue had just given her. Only then did she feel her dry throat was much better.
There were not many people in the hall at this time. The voices of Qin Yue and Qin Zhiyi came into her ears intermittently, but she could not hear them and stared at the tip of her shoes in a daze.
The thought of having to face such a scene for the second time gives me a headache.
But he had chosen his own path, so what else could he do? Furthermore, Qin Yue had already been preparing to break the window paper, but he hadn't expected that before he could even pave the way, Qin Zhiyi would find out. Given her personality, she would definitely tell her mother.
Now it means one wrong step leads to another.
Maybe it would be better to tell the Qin family right from the start and cut the Gordian knot?
Song Shixi didn't know how many times she sighed tonight. She felt exhausted both physically and mentally. Just as she was daydreaming, she saw Qin Yue walking up to her holding Qin Zhiyi's arm.
The tears on Qin Zhiyi's face were still there, and she looked a little embarrassed, but her tears had stopped.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."
Hearing her say this awkwardly, Song Shixi was struck by lightning and froze in place.
