Lin Yinuo stopped arguing with her, trembling as she took out her phone and quickly scrolled to the top of the photo album.
A series of intimate photos appeared before their eyes: Lu Qingzhou gently held her in his arms, and both of them had happy smiles on their faces;
And there's that profile picture of Lu Qingzhou sitting quietly beside her in the office, accompanying her as she grades assignments...
Each photo is like a sharp knife, cruelly stabbing Chen Xiaoxi's heart.
I'm so sad. This isn't the outcome I wanted.
Seeing Lu Qingzhou's embarrassed appearance, Chen Xiaoxi instantly understood everything, and shock and pain surged into her heart like a tide.
She recalled Leng Yue's earlier warning: "There's a girl who's been pursuing Lu Qingzhou lately."
At the time, she was full of curiosity about who the girl was, what she looked like, what she did for a living, and so on. Looking back now, it's utterly ridiculous.
During this time, Lu Qingzhou frequently visited her and chatted with her, which made her forget about the matter.
She had been plotting to compete with the other party for the position of the fourth son of the Lu family.
That's really bad.
The potential enemy he had always thought of turned out to be his cousin, Lin Yinuo.
The truth was so heavy that it made her feel suffocated, and she felt like her head was about to explode.
What exactly is going on?
Chen Xiaoxi's voice trembled, and her eyes were full of questioning as she looked at Lu Qingzhou.
Lu Qingzhou looked helplessly at the two people with unpleasant expressions and cautiously suggested, "Shall we find a quiet place to sit down and talk slowly?"
Chen Xiaoxi and Lin Yinuo then noticed the curious glances from passersby, and both felt extremely embarrassed.
The two exchanged a glance and then followed Lu Qingzhou to a private room.
Inside the private room,
The three sat around the dining table, the atmosphere so oppressive it was almost suffocating.
Chen Xiaoxi crossed her arms over her chest, staring intently at Lu Qingzhou with piercing eyes, and asked in an icy tone, "Are you mute? Aren't you going to give us an explanation?"
Lin Yinuo frowned and echoed, "Yes, Brother Qingzhou, why didn't you tell me you were dating my cousin? Do you know how heartbroken I was when I suddenly found out the truth? I'm so sad."
As she spoke, she gently punched Lu Qingzhou's chest with her small fist. She seemed angry, but in reality, she was full of grievances and resentment, and it was more like she was helplessly whining.
Lu Qingzhou felt a throbbing sensation in her temples, feeling annoyed and flustered by the two people's interrogation.
'Damn it, that's just how it is, what's there for me to explain?'
I'm going to throw caution to the wind and take the initiative.
Suddenly, he also exploded with emotion, spreading his hands: "What the hell am I supposed to explain! You guys explain to me why you're cousins! Tell me!"
The room fell into a deathly silence the moment those words were spoken.
The two women stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.
Shameless, utterly shameless, how could you say such a thing?
But somehow it makes some sense.
Chen Xiaoxi's eyes widened at first, then she laughed in anger, a sarcastic smile curving her lips: "Fine, Lu Qingzhou, so according to you, we're the ones who did wrong?"
Her slender fingers poked at Lu Qingzhou's chest.
Lu Qingzhou turned her head away, still trying to argue, but her voice unconsciously weakened: "No... no, it's your fault. Who told you all to be so good-looking, and related? Anyway, it has nothing to do with me."
Upon hearing this seemingly casual compliment, a glimmer of light flashed in both of their eyes. What woman doesn't like to be complimented on her beauty?
But it was quickly overshadowed by anger.
Chen Xiaoxi sneered, then suddenly pinched Lu Qingzhou's waist hard, her nails digging deep into his flesh: "You're good at making excuses! Now tell me, how do you plan to end this?"
Lu Qingzhou winced in pain, glanced back at Chen Xiaoxi, but still stubbornly said, "I... I don't plan to do anything. Isn't it good to maintain the status quo? Spending time with this person during the day and that person at night."
Before he could finish speaking, two sharp gazes shot towards him like blades.
"Shameless!"
Lin Yinuo sighed deeply, her voice full of exhaustion: "This relationship is a bit complicated."
This is also called complicated.
Could the relationship between me and my daughter Chen Xiaoxi be more complicated?
Lu Qingzhou inwardly complained.
However, seeing that the two people's tone was obviously not as excited as at the beginning, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that there was room for negotiation.
Lu Qingzhou's eyes darted around, and he suddenly put on a fawning smile: "Look, this is actually a double blessing! Today I'm Yinuo's cousin-in-law, and tomorrow I'll be Xiaoxi's cousin-in-law. See, isn't the relationship clear enough? How perfect!"
His self-righteous words only earned him two heavy eye rolls.
I feel like my integrity has been completely shattered by his shamelessness.
They said in unison, "Pah, you wish! You can only choose one."
After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other, and for a moment the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Lin Yinuo slammed the milk tea down on the roadside trash can: "Cousin, we grew up together...?"
Before she could finish speaking, Chen Xiaoxi pulled Lin Yinuo aside and said, "Yinuo, your cousin has never asked you for anything in her life, but this is the only thing she has ever asked for. You..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Yinuo directly refused: "No, other things can be discussed, but this is the only thing that cannot be discussed."
Chen Xiaoxi stomped her feet angrily and said, "Yinuo! How can you be so insensible!"
Lin Yinuo glanced at Chen Xiaoxi and sneered, "I'm ignorant? Cousin, you're wrong! Why don't you quit?"
