After Qin Qiushi sent Grandma Qin out, Lan Xuegui checked Qiu Wanyan's face first. After seeing the marks on her face, she felt that the kick she had made was light.

When Qiu Wanyan saw Lan Xuegui's gloomy expression, her heart trembled, but she also knew that she had done something wrong and did not dare to say anything for a while.

"Tell me, why did you come out to do this?"

Qiu Wanyan's eyelashes trembled, and her lips were pursed, as if she was reluctant to speak.

Lan Xuegui looked at her quietly without saying a word.

Qiu Wanyan felt frightened and her scalp tingling when she was stared at.

She thought about how the man wanted to do that to her. She had clearly seen on the platform that he could get 200 yuan just by having a meal with him.

The reason why she held his hand was because he said he would give her extra money if she held his hand.

But the burning sensation on her face told her that if her cousin hadn't appeared here, she would have been...

When she thought about how he might force her to do that, she felt a chill on her back...

Qiu Wanyan adjusted her thoughts and said slowly, "My dad didn't pay for my tuition and didn't let me go to school, so... I heard about the way to make money and came here."

Lan Xuegui frowned, "Uncle doesn't allow you to go to school?"

She remembered that her cousin's grades were still very good, and if she worked harder in high school, she would have no problem getting into a key university.

"...My father said that my brother was getting married and was saving money for the bride price. He said it was pointless for a girl like me to study so much... He also didn't pay for my tuition."

At this point, Qiu Wanyan's eyes were filled with tears, but she held back and didn't let them fall.

She choked up and continued, "Dad wanted me to go out and play and give him all the money I earned."

"I didn't want to fight, so I told my dad that I would pay for my tuition myself."

Whenever Qiu Wanyan thought about how her father told her in front of so many people at home that she would not be allowed to go to school, she felt particularly aggrieved.

Why didn’t my brother let his wife continue to go to school without the betrothal gift money?

Is it because she is a girl?

Qiu Wanyan couldn't help sobbing softly.

Lan Xuegui hugged her lovingly and patted her back gently with both hands.

She knew that her uncle favored boys over girls.

Because her grandparents were like this too, they had four children, three girls and one boy, and her mother was the youngest. Her mother was her uncle before she died.

When they gave birth to their uncle, they wanted to have another boy. But when they saw that the baby was a girl, they treated their mother badly since she was little.

Later, when he knew that my father liked my mother, he even asked for a betrothal gift of 50,000 yuan. In my mother's era, 50,000 yuan was already a lot of money.

But she didn't expect her uncle to treat her cousin like this.

My cousin is also the youngest child in the family, with an older sister and an older brother.

"Cousin, I, I don't want to go to school. I want to go to school." Qiu Wanyan couldn't help sobbing.

Hearing her cousin's crying voice, Lan Xuegui felt distressed again.

I tried to comfort her, "I'll go talk to my uncle and ask you to not do stupid things like today again."

Qiu Wanyan was also frightened and said, "I won't dare to do it again."

As soon as the two finished their conversation, Qin Qiushi came back.

Qin Qiushi walked silently to the other side of the table and sat down without making a sound to disturb them.

The only sound left in the box was Qiu Wanyan's crying.

After a while, Qiu Wanyan slowly calmed down and left Lan Xuegui's arms.

When he accidentally glanced at Qin Qiu on the other side, he was stunned.

This guy is so handsome!

He is much more handsome than those male stars that her classmates are chasing after.

But who is he?

Lan Xuegui followed her gaze and looked at Qin Qiu, and coughed lightly.

Qin Qiushi looked at her.

Lan Xuegui's face was a little confused. Should she reveal their identities?

"Cousin, is he your boyfriend?"

Qiu Wanyan leaned close to Lan Xuegui's ear and asked in a low voice.

Lan Xuegui gritted her teeth and said, "Yes." But there was guilt in her eyes when she looked at Qin Qiushi.

The box was not big, and even though Qiu Wanyan asked in a low voice, she did not speak very softly, so Qin Qiushi naturally heard what she asked.

Hearing Lan Xuegui's words, he squinted at her.

Lan Xuegui briefly introduces the two.

"Qiu Shi, this is my cousin Qiu Wanyan."

"Wanyan, this is my...boyfriend Qin Qiushi."

Qiu Wanyan's sadness instantly dissipated. With half of her face red and swollen, she greeted Qin Qiushi warmly, "Hello, cousin-in-law."

Qin Qiushi raised his eyebrows and said "hmm".

Lan Xuegui immediately reached out to cover her mouth. Facing Qin Qiushi's half-smiley eyes, she said with a guilty conscience, "I'll take you home first."

When Qiu Wanyan heard that she was going back, she felt a little depressed, "Cousin, I don't want to go back yet. Can I...stay with you for a while?"

"Okay, but I don't have anything to do, so I'll go home first."

"Well, it just so happens that I haven't seen my aunt for a long time."

Lan Xuegui said goodbye to Qin Qiushi and left.

Finally, Qin Qiushi sent them back.

When getting in the car, Lan Xuegui wanted to sit in the back seat, but Qiu Wanyan stopped her and insisted that she sit in the passenger seat.

Lan Xue glanced at Qin Qiushi's expressionless profile and her heart started pounding. She suddenly felt that he was in a bad mood.

But only a few people knew about her marriage, and she didn't want to make a big fuss about it, lest if they divorced, everyone would know about it.

Qin Qiushi pretended not to notice her furtive glance and started the car and drove away.

Qiu Wanyan, who was sitting in the back seat, suddenly asked curiously, "Cousin, how did you and your cousin-in-law get to know each other?"

Lan Xuegui turned around and wanted to cover her mouth with her hand.

She thought about their first meeting, which was not a pleasant one. If it weren't for Grandma Qin, they would never have gotten married.

She glanced at Qin Qiushi who was driving the car without leaving a trace, "I met him... in the restaurant."

Qiu Wanyan suddenly realized, "So you fell in love at first sight?"

Lan Xuegui suddenly felt a headache. There was no affection between them, so how could they fall in love at first sight?

She didn't want to answer the question, "Does your face hurt anymore?"

Qiu Wanyan stopped talking for a moment, but her eyes were still moving between Lan Xuegui and Qin Qiushi.

She said in her heart, they are so worthy!

But she felt that the atmosphere between them was a little weird.

For the rest of the journey, the car fell into silence.

After the car arrived at Lan Xuegui's home, Lan Xuegui said to Qiu Wanyan, "Wanyan, why don't you go in first? I want to talk to... my boyfriend."

Qiu Wanyan immediately made an OK gesture, with an expression that said "I understand" on her face, and quickly got out of the car.

After Qiu Wanyan left, Lan Xuegui coughed uncomfortably.

Her voice was weak, "Qiu Shi, I didn't mean anything else just now. I just didn't know if you were willing to let others know about our relationship. After all, we divorced a year later."

When Qin Qiushi heard her say that she was going to divorce in a year, he felt inexplicably upset.

But he couldn't help but think of what happened last night. He couldn't help but unbuckle his seat belt, walked in front of Lan Xuegui, and stared at her.

His voice was a little hoarse. "Whatever you say, but are you sure you don't want me to help you recall what happened last night?"

As he spoke, he reached out and pinched Lan Xuegui's chin, bringing her closer to him.

Lan Xuegui was startled, "What do you want to do?"
