As Qin Lu listened to Qin Man's account, his expression gradually became serious.
He didn't tell anyone in his family that he had taken a very dangerous step.
However, now that Fu Hanzheng has become suspicious, he is hesitant about whether everything can proceed smoothly.
Qin Man talked for a long time, but when she noticed that her nephew sitting next to her was not saying a word, she called out to him twice.
"Xiaolu?"
"Xiaolu?"
Qin Lu snapped out of his daze. "Auntie, what's wrong?"
"What are you thinking about, so lost in thought?" Qin Man asked.
"No, I just had a little to drink and I'm a bit drunk," Qin Lu said with a smile, sounding helpless.
Qin Man didn't suspect anything else, she just gave instructions.
"Let's just put this matter behind us. If you see her again in the future, just call her 'Auntie' properly."
“After you take over the company, you’ll still have to maintain long-term relationships with the Fu family. Don’t let such a small matter strain your relationship.”
...
Qin Lu smiled faintly, "I understand, Aunt."
He thought that his relationship with Fu Hanzheng would probably never improve.
Qin Man parked the car in the villa's garage and took Qin Lu home.
As soon as they entered the house, they saw Meng Ruya, whom those idiots had mentioned the night before, sitting in their house.
Moreover, he sat with Qin Lang, the second son of the Qin family, and their expressions were quite intimate.
"Why are you here?" Qin Man asked in an unfriendly tone.
After a few encounters since returning to China, she disliked this distant cousin intensely.
If it weren't for the fact that Madam Fu's family and the Meng family were related by marriage, and that her family had some distant ties to the Meng family, she wouldn't have known she had such a cousin.
When Madam Qin saw that she had returned, she spoke to her second son, Qin Lang.
"It's getting late, you should take Ruya home first."
"Wait a minute, we have a driver at home, why are you delivering it?" Qin Man called out to her second brother.
"Anyway, I'm free," Qin Ershao said, urging Meng Ruya to get ready to leave.
"What do you mean 'empty'? I have important work to discuss with you. Have the driver take you," Qin Man said firmly.
Helpless, Qin Lang simply instructed the family driver to take Meng Ruya home safely.
After seeing that the person had left, Madam Qin spoke to Qin Man.
"What kind of attitude is this? She might be your sister-in-law in the future. Be a little more polite when you speak."
"Second sister-in-law?" Qin Man sneered, glancing at her second brother. "Are you blind? You want to marry someone like that?"
"What did Ruya do to you? Why are you behaving like this?" Qin Lang sat down, his expression unfriendly.
Qin Man rolled her eyes so hard they almost flew to the sky, and gritted her teeth as she spoke.
"She used to be determined to marry into the Fu family. It's only because that didn't work out that she came to you. Do you even know what people like you are?"
Meng Ruya had interacted with her second brother in the past, but it was just that—interactions—and they weren't particularly close, so she didn't care.
But now, since she can no longer be Mrs. Fu, she has settled for second best and wants to be Mrs. Qin.
"Xiaoman, what's wrong with you today?" Madam Qin couldn't understand why her daughter was so hostile as soon as she entered the house.
“It was Fu Hanzheng who wronged her, not her fault,” Qin Lang retorted.
Qin Man snorted silently, her words sharp.
"You're what's called a backup plan, you know that?"
"Did she tell you that she was devoted to Fu Hanzheng and waited for him for so many years, but Fu Hanzheng got tired of her and went to find a young and beautiful woman instead, and then you were so overwhelmed with love that you decided to take her on?"
