Chapter 241 Lin Xiaotao is a vixen
Not long after Qin Xiaomei arrived home, Qin Yunzhi returned. Qin's mother, who was scolding Qin Xiaomei, was taken aback when she saw her son.
"Yunzhi, how are you? Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Who was this heartless person who did this? Tell Mom, and Mom will avenge you!"
"Brother, how are you...?" Even Sister Qin trembled with fear.
This is her younger brother, her only younger brother. If she didn't have a younger brother or if something happened to him, Sister Qin wouldn't know what to do.
When Qin's mother saw her eldest daughter speak, she scolded her: "What are you standing there for? Go find a doctor! No, finding a doctor is too slow. Take Yunzhi to the clinic."
"Okay, okay, let's go to the health center."
"Mom, don't go." Qin Yunzhi hissed. He was in real pain, but he didn't want to go to the clinic.
"But you're covered in injuries." This was even with Qin's mother unable to move; if she could, she would have taken her son to the clinic long ago.
"It's nothing, just superficial injuries." Qin Yunzhi didn't want to cause any more trouble.
"No, we have to go to the health center," Qin's mother insisted.
"Mom, how much money do we have left?" Qin Yunzhi asked instead, not wanting to continue the topic.
Seeing her son's serious expression, Qin's mother had no choice but to put aside her plan to go to the health center, but she was still puzzled: "Why are you asking this?"
"Do you still have the money that person gave you last time?"
"Yes, we are." Although the expenses in the capital are high, her family is not extravagant and is quite frugal. The money they have spent during this period has all come from the money brought by Sister Qin.
"Find it, and I'll take it to return it to them tomorrow."
"You returned it?!" Qin's mother almost jumped out of bed.
"Yes, these injuries were inflicted by them. They said they wouldn't let me off the hook if I didn't pay them back."
"They're utterly heartless! They're the ones who did bad things, why should they give the money back!"
"Mom, I have to pay it back." Qin Yunzhi didn't want to pay it back either, but he couldn't fight against Cheng Zhen and the others.
"Who are these people? Why is it always my son who suffers!" Qin's mother cursed angrily, and then she started crying. Qin's eldest sister also wiped away her tears, while Qin's youngest sister hid behind her eldest sister in fear.
The whole family was crying, and they cried for a long time.
"Mom, don't cry. Return the money, then you can go back. Don't stay in the capital." Qin Yunzhi closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Qin's mother finally stopped crying, but still hesitated and said, "But what about that Lin Xiaotao..."
"Mom, there is no Lin Xiaotao, you don't know her."
“But I’ve already told the people in the production team that you’ve found a girlfriend in the capital, and that her family is wealthy. They’ll ask about it when we go back.”
"You can just not say it. At worst, we can make something up. If it really doesn't work out, we can just break up after graduation!"
"But……"
"Mom, they don't know anyway. I'm the only college student in our production team. How would they know the truth? They just believe whatever we say. If I don't go back, I might lose my status as a student at Peking University!"
"No, no?"
"Yes, Cheng Zhen and Peng Li have some connections in their families."
"But we weren't afraid before, were we?"
"That's because they don't take us seriously."
"I don't think so now, right?"
“It’s different now, they’ve beaten me up!” Qin Yunzhi pointed to himself.
"What about our previous plans?"
"It won't work." If it could work, Qin Yunzhi wouldn't have backed down so quickly. It was only because he knew it wouldn't work that he changed his attitude so quickly, hoping that they wouldn't retaliate against him.
Qin's mother was still a little unwilling to give up: "You and that Lin Xiaotao really can't be together?"
"It's really impossible!" Qin Yunzhi took a deep breath. "You know that person came to ruin my reputation and prevent Lin Xiaotao and me from being together. Now that person knows everything, it's even less likely that I'll be with Lin Xiaotao." Qin Yunzhi felt that he should explain this to his mother properly. "Besides, I was thinking of winning Lin Xiaotao over first, so that Cheng Zhen couldn't do anything about it since we were already a couple. But I couldn't win Lin Xiaotao over either, and things have come to this point. We have no choice but to give up, otherwise we'll be the ones who suffer."
Qin's mother angrily scolded, "If you ask me, that Lin Xiaotao is a vixen! Otherwise, why would you and that person keep chasing after her!"
"Mom, give me the money, I'll pay it back at school." Qin Yunzhi didn't want to take on this task, nor could he easily do so, so he could only ask for the money.
"You..." Qin's mother wanted to say something, but seeing her son's miserable appearance, she could only tremblingly instruct her daughter to get the money: "Let me tell you, we can't let this go so easily. You don't have to give all the money to that person, after all, he's not a good person either. We can keep some for ourselves. If we really can't keep any, we'll go find Lin Xiaotao. She's the culprit, and she has to compensate us for our losses no matter what."
Qin's mother kept nagging, and after Qin's eldest sister brought over the money, she counted it and handed it to her son: "It's Lin Xiaotao's loss that she doesn't like you. My son is so good."
"Mom, take good care of yourself. I'm going to pay back the money first. I'll stay in the dorm tonight and won't be coming back."
"Then remember to eat dinner tonight."
"Okay, I'm leaving now." Qin Yunzhi waved his hand, which aggravated his wound, causing him to hiss in pain. However, he didn't think about applying any medicine and left.
As Qin's mother watched her son's retreating figure, she launched into another tirade of insults, many of which involved Lin Xiaotao. Then, a sudden, unexpected blast of lightning struck, startling Qin's mother so much that she immediately shut her mouth tightly, daring not to utter another word.
But she wondered to herself, was that thunder just now a warning to her?
Regardless, Qin's mother dared not utter another word and could only lie quietly to recuperate.
But a sense of resentment lingered in his heart; no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't accept it.
Qin Yunzhi initially intended to return the money, but remembering his injuries, he turned around and went to find his girlfriend.
He started dating her when school started. She worked in a factory, earned a good salary, was a local from the capital, and came from a well-off family; otherwise, Qin Yunzhi wouldn't have taken a liking to her.
The girl was startled when she saw Qin Yunzhi's appearance. Qin Yunzhi had to persuade her to believe that she was alright. She explained that she had been beaten for trying to help someone, but the bad guy had also been imprisoned.
As for his purpose in coming to find someone, it was obviously to ask for shelter.
Qin Yunzhi didn't want to listen to his mother's arguing; it was quieter with his girlfriend.
This woman was naive; she took Qin Yunzhi in and then went home herself.
She originally wanted to stay and take care of Qin Yunzhi, but Qin Yunzhi said he didn't want to ruin her reputation, which made the woman think even more that Qin Yunzhi was a good person.
By the time Qin Yunzhi's injuries had mostly healed, a week had passed.
After saying goodbye to his girlfriend and managing to swindle some pocket money from her, Qin Yunzhi had just stepped into the campus when he saw people pointing and whispering about him. Their eyes were filled with disdain and contempt, as if he had done something heinous that made them ashamed to associate with him.
