Seeing that all the family's eyes were on her, Lu Qingyan had no choice but to resign herself to opening the door.
Lu Qingyan said irritably, "Why are you here again?"
Shi Qing still had a cold, expressionless face: "Come and meet your parents-in-law."
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao were very happy to see Shi Qing arrive, but they gave their daughter a reproachful look: "Look at what you're saying! Shi Qing has been so good to you all these years, and you still give her attitude."
Lu Qingyan protested that she was innocent. Shi Qing was the target of this mission, so how could she not try to gain his favor? It was just that his expression was too cold and he didn't know how to coax people. Also, he was the son of Lu Qingyan and Shi Yuming in the first world, so she felt a lot of pressure.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao knew that Shi Qing always had a cold expression, but he had a kind heart, so they did their best to bring the two together. So, seeing him arrive, they instructed Lu Qingyan, "Xinyi, we're out of vegetables. You and Shi Qing go out and buy some!"
So many years have passed, and the Zhao family has moved to a new, bigger house. The old, somewhat dilapidated building they used to live in has been demolished. Lu Qingyan and Shi Qing were passing by there on their way to the market.
"Master, look! Master, look!" the system chirped excitedly from the side. "Isn't that the original owner's biological mother, Wei Nana?"
Lu Qingyan looked in the direction the system pointed and saw an elderly woman huddled in a corner. She was dressed in tattered clothes, and her eyes were dull and lifeless.
For a moment, Lu Qingyan found it hard to reconcile this person with the glamorous woman from many years ago.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Lu Qingyan lost in thought, Shi Qing asked with concern. Following Lu Qingyan's gaze, he did not find anything unusual.
"It's nothing, let's go!" Lu Qingyan said nothing and prepared to leave with Shi Qing.
Wei Nana's current state is entirely her own fault, and she has no sympathy for her because of their blood relation.
It's good that they don't bother each other now.
If you think about it carefully, Wei Nana isn't that old now. If she wanted to, she could easily find a job that would allow her to support herself and live a good life.
Lu Qingyan let it go, but Wei Nana recognized her. She glared hatefully at the young and beautiful woman before her: this was clearly her daughter, yet she sided with an outsider instead of helping her. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have argued with her mother; if it weren't for her, she wouldn't have accidentally killed someone.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She grabbed a wooden stick from the side and rushed over.
Lu Qingyan reacted a beat too slow and almost got hit, but Shi Qing helped block it at the crucial moment.
"Shi Qing!" Lu Qingyan exclaimed, quickly reaching out to catch the person who was about to faint in her arms, and kicking Wei Nana away.
Passersby also stepped in to help, and several strong young men subdued Wei Nana, while someone took out their phone to call for an ambulance.
Upon seeing this, some people immediately kept their distance, saying, "Where did this crazy woman come from? Why is she hitting people indiscriminately?"
"Hey, you know what. Look at how old she is and how thin she is, I didn't expect her to be so strong." He used a little more force to hold Wei Nana down, who was about to break free.
"Let's go, let's stop dawdling and get her to the police station first," another person holding Wei Nana couldn't help but say.
Lu Qingyan secretly dripped a few drops of spiritual spring water into Shi Qing's mouth, anxiously waiting for the hospital ambulance to arrive, and dared not move Shi Qing casually.
