Chapter 222: Retreat to Advance
When the door opened, Lao Er and Qin Qixuan looked at each other. He was a little confused at first, but after a while, he returned to his original state.
There was no one else in the room except Lao Er, and the table was full of empty wine jugs.
Seeing Lao Er still pouring wine into his mouth one by one, Qin Qixuan couldn't help but frown.
Lao Er smiled bitterly while drinking.
"Brother, you are here to persuade me, so please go back. When I think it through, this excitement will pass."
It's easy to say, but how can it be so easy to think it through?
After all, Lao Er is deeply in love, and he can't get out of it for a while, nor does he want to get out. He can only indulge in it with wine, and he doesn't want to go out and see his own stupidity and ridiculousness.
Qin Qixuan saw this and realized that Lao Er had built a turtle shell for himself by drinking, hiding inside and unwilling to come out.
He touched his forehead helplessly.
Under normal circumstances, it would be fine to let him drink enough, but if he is not woken up now, Lao Er will probably regret it even more in the future.
If he were to educate Lao Er now, he would definitely not listen. Or rather, Lao Er knew everything, he just lacked an external force to pull him out.
Qin Qixuan thought about it and suddenly came up with a new method.
He didn't say a word, and didn't even answer Lao Er's question. He just sat next to Lao Er, snatched his wine glass, and drank it one sip after another.
Even Lao Er was shocked by his series of actions, and it took him a long time to recover.
The servant that Qin Qixuan brought with him was also very interested in the situation, and immediately climbed up in panic to stop him.
"Young Master, you can't drink!"
The second brother suddenly woke up after hearing this.
Before he left home, Qin Qixuan didn't drink a drop of alcohol, but now he drinks one glass after another. How can his body bear it!
He hurriedly pulled Qin Qixuan's arm.
"Brother, don't drink anymore, I'm sorry!"
Qin Qixuan shook his head firmly.
"It's so boring to drink by yourself, brother will accompany you, drink as much as you want, and then come!"
Qin Qixuan frowned and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. After that, he gulped, filled the glass with wine again, and wanted to take another sip.
The second brother quickly took the cup away.
"Brother, don't drink anymore. You don't know how to drink. This will hurt your body! I won't drink anymore, either! I won't drink anymore!"
Qin Qixuan sighed and stopped what
he was doing after hearing what the second brother said. Qin Qixuan felt a little uncomfortable after drinking four glasses of wine just now.
But if he didn't do this, the second brother would never listen to him and stop.
Although it was a bad idea, it worked.
Qin Qixuan paused for a while and finally looked at the second brother who was nervous.
"What do you think?"
The second brother was full of guilt now.
The eldest brother actually hurt his body in order to sober himself up. He deserved to die!
"I..."
The second brother stammered, lowered his head, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Qin Qixuan saw this, his expression was indifferent, but his question was sharp.
"I will not mention the stupid things you did before, nor will I pursue them. But now that you know how stupid your previous actions were, why do you still indulge in pleasure and don't want to find a way to solve it? Mother has been very worried about you these days. There are obviously a lot of things to do at home and in the shop, but you are still here complaining and drinking to drown your sorrows. Second son, you are already at an age where you can take responsibility. You should think about how to share some of the burden for mother, instead of living a life of debauchery here and making mother worry for nothing." It was rare
for Qin Qixuan to say so much to the second son, and the second son took it all to heart.
He couldn't help but feel more guilty.
To be honest, he had been avoiding it. The second brother could not accept Su Xiaoxiao's true face and her betrayal without hesitation.
He could not bear the harm he had brought to his family.
Qin Qixuan's words broke his "turtle shell". At this time, the second brother suddenly woke up and felt very upset.
"The one who comes can be pursued... Big brother, you are right, I still have a chance to make up for my mother..."
The second brother suddenly slapped himself twice, but Qin Qixuan stopped him and he did not continue.
"What you need to do now is to solve your own problems and not let your mother worry. Too much guilt will not help, and hurting yourself will only make others worry."
After Qin Qixuan finished his cold lecture, he told the second son the most important news he came here to tell.
"I talked to General Helian before, and he told me... the girl who really saved you will come to the capital tomorrow."
Hearing this, the second son raised his head in surprise.
Helian Shi only said that the girl would come to the capital soon, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, it would be tomorrow.
Thinking of the girl who saved him, the second son showed a bit of struggle on his face.
Qin Qixuan noticed his entanglement and asked.
"General Helian asked me to ask you, are you going to meet him tomorrow?"
To be honest, Qin Qixuan didn't know whether it was better for the second brother to meet her or not.
Qin Qixuan didn't know who that woman was, nor did he know her character. If it was the second Su Xiaoxiao...
Qin Qixuan shook his head.
No matter what, that woman did save the second brother, and they had to repay her for saving his life. As for love affairs, let the second brother make his own choice this time. But
the second brother suddenly learned the news and was unable to make a decision for a while. He just remained silent and did not answer.
Qin Qixuan's words had come through, but he didn't expect the second brother to answer him right away.
"I have already told you the news. As for the answer, you can go and tell General Helian in person. It is up to you whether to go or not."
Qin Qixuan believed that the second brother would learn his lesson after this ordeal.
He had said everything he needed to say, but there was one more thing he needed to mention.
"As for Su Xiaoxiao..."
When Su Xiaoxiao was mentioned, the second brother was numb, as if he would no longer have any turmoil in his heart because of her.
Qin Qixuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued.
"Although she was not the benefactor who saved you in the beginning, everything that happened after you woke up was true, and she was indeed with you. So when dealing with Su Xiaoxiao, you have to control it yourself. Don't let the old feelings come out, but don't be too cruel, just don't treat her badly."
It's not that Qin Qixuan is kind-hearted, he also doesn't like Su Xiaoxiao very much, but Su Xiaoxiao is a girl, and she has indeed lived in the Qin Mansion these days, and has an affair with the second brother. If it is not handled properly, the Qin Mansion will be accused of insulting the reputation of the girl's family.
The second brother understood what Qin Qixuan said and nodded silently.
Seeing that it was getting dark, the second brother finally spoke.
"Brother, I will go home with you."
