Chapter 403 Torn
These words gave the Bai family a reassurance.
This reversal was beyond Bai's mother's expectations. Based on her understanding of men over the years, she knew that convincing a man who had changed his mind to change his mind was harder than climbing to the sky.
She privately persuaded Bai Yanzhu to turn a blind eye to Qin Si's private life. As long as Qin Si was willing to marry her and she could secure the position of future mistress, it would be worth it.
Unexpectedly, Qin Si was unwilling to give up even the position of mistress.
Bai's mother had been looking forward to Qin's father's statement. She saw Qin's father glance across the screen vaguely. Although the movement was very slight, Bai's mother, who was quick-witted, caught it immediately.
While responding to Qin's father with compliments, she looked towards the screen.
The space was layered with a huge ordinariness. Bai's mother couldn't see the scene behind her. She laughed, "Yanzhu and Xian'er are good friends. I'm really glad for Yanzhu. She is luckier than Xian'er to meet a responsible man like Young Master Qin."
"Mr. Qin, to be honest, I have always been worried that something might go wrong with the marriage. Everyone in the world knows that Yanzhu and Young Master Qin are dating. Whether it is our Bai family or Yanzhu, whenever others mention it, they will inevitably mention Young Master Qin."
"If Yanzhu loses Master Qin, I'm really worried that she will be unable to get over it...We don't want to see such a tragedy."
"Love matters are all about fate and timing. To forcibly take someone else's fiancé would not only bring shame to the family, but would also bring disgrace to the parents."
Bai's mother kept her tone respectful, then smiled slightly, "But I almost forgot that some girls are born in poor families and lack the guidance of their fathers since childhood, unlike our Yanzhu, who is loved by everyone."
"Her father and I personally raised her and devoted endless efforts to her."
After Bai's mother finished speaking, she stood up and raised her glass to toast Qin's father. Bai's father, who was called, also showed an expression of approval on his face.
The atmosphere changed subtly in an instant.
Jiang Zhiyue's hands on her knees unconsciously clenched her clothes. She was as quiet as the soundless falling winter plum blossoms. Even without her gentle breath, she actually exuded a cool feeling.
The fat baby was keenly aware of her emotional changes. He supported his chubby face with his hands and called softly, "Sister?"
An unblessed relationship is against the will of heaven.
For some reason, Jiang Zhiyue suddenly thought of a sentence. From the moment she escaped and rescued Qin Si, today's ending was already within her expectations.
However, scenes in the slums would emerge in her mind. She accepted Qin's father's invitation, knowing that this was also the other party's approach of using courtesy before force.
She must withdraw, she must prove with actions and put Qin Si's mind to rest.
Father Qin no longer has much patience left.
"Sister, why do you look a little sad? Are you also sad for Brother Qin Si?" The fat baby held his cheek, stared at her with a pair of big eyes blinking, and his voice became softer.
This little guy is really a chatterbox.
"I'm thinking about what to eat for dinner tonight." Jiang Zhiyue replied.
The fat baby frowned, and his chubby face showed a bit of dissatisfaction. Although he was young, he could understand the twists and turns of it.
"Okay, I'll tell you a little secret." He was clever and eccentric. He held the railing of the chair tightly, straightened his body, leaned close to Jiang Zhiyue's ear, and whispered.
"Brother Qin Si asked me to come to you. He told me that if I met a beautiful sister, I should chat with her and ignore my uncle's nonsense."
Jiang Zhiyue was almost amused by him. He really was a fan of Qin Si.
"Thank you." She couldn't help but rub his little bald head.
The fat baby pursed his lips, obviously dissatisfied with Jiang Zhiyue's disrespectful attitude. The Qin family members all have some arrogant genes engraved in their bones.
"I'm not lying. Children who tell lies will get fatter and fatter." He emphasized angrily. Jiang Zhiyue almost ignored the voice outside.
At this moment, something seemed to happen outside.
Bai Yanzhu's surprised voice rang out, "A Si!?"
No one knew when Qin Si appeared. In his hand, he was holding a token of engagement between the two families, a priceless jade pendant.
However, the jade pendant suddenly slipped from his palm, broke into two pieces and splattered everywhere.
"Father, I think I have made myself clear."
"A Si! What are you doing?" Qin Si gave her enough respect. Even though he treated her distantly, he never embarrassed her in public. So how could he destroy the engagement token with his own hands?
This piece of Hetian jade is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the Qin family.
"A Si, are you hurt?" Bai Yanzhu covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes full of pain, and exclaimed.
The man's big palm wearing a black glove was wrapped in a layer of gauze. He clenched his palm slightly and blood oozed out. Qin Si didn't care about this minor injury.
"What a despicable move."
He looked straight at Qin's father.
"I did something wrong, and I accept the punishment, but you shouldn't have involved her and shouldn't have let her listen to the lies you told on my behalf."
The man's tone was cold and stern. He was a man of few words and there was no special emotion on his face. At this moment, he looked directly into Qin's father's eyes, and the anger in his eyes burned like a raging fire, melting the frost deep in his pupils.
Father Qin frowned.
Before he could react, a corner of the screen was suddenly cut by a sharp blade. As the wind rose, the curtain was lifted, revealing the beautiful face of the girl behind it.
Jiang Zhiyue looked surprised and was caught off guard by the gaze of the person outside.
"Jiang Zhiyue?" Bai Yanzhu's eyes turned red, and the tears in her eyes seemed to be about to overflow.
She looked at Qin Si in disbelief and saw that the man was staring at Jiang Zhiyue with such a focused look, as if her figure was the only one in his eyes under the heaven and earth.
He wouldn't let her escape or dodge.
He actually held her hand in front of everyone, and at the same time, with almost negligible force, he pushed away the chubby little hand that was tightly grasping Jiang Zhiyue's clothes.
Jiang Zhiyue glanced at the child, who grinned, "See, I was right! Brother Qin Si is our hero, the smartest person in our Qin family."
None of Qin's father's plans escaped his eyes.
He had anticipated all this and was just waiting for Qin's father to gather everyone together and then completely tear off the veil.
The falling out in front of the Bai family created a grudge between the two sides.
Just like a broken mirror cannot be mended.
“Relationships are not just my business.”
Qin Si opened his thin lips coldly, and uttered even more inhumane words in his usual flat voice.
“We have to face this together.”
He gazed deeply at the girl beside him and held her tightly, as if his blood and bones were connected to Jiang Zhiyue.
