Qin Xiaoyu ran as fast as she could, getting faster and faster. Wang Jian's mother lost a shoe. She didn't want to pick it up, but her sock had a hole in the sole, and her feet were too cold on the snow. By the time she hopped back to put her shoe on, Qin Xiaoyu's car had already driven away.
She spat on the ground, thinking, "What bad luck! I let a great fortune slip away."
Upon hearing that Wang Jian had gone home to resume his old life, Qi Si remained silent for a long time, said nothing, gritted his teeth, got up, and left.
"This child, he was perfectly fine, what happened?" Zhou Xing's mother still couldn't understand.
"I don't understand either. Everything was fine, so what's going on?" Zhou Yue, holding her pregnant belly, came downstairs to find out what was happening. Xiao Jin had cried with her twice and had been sent back to her room by Deng Jianyan.
"I think Wang Jian knows what he's doing. There must be something he can't handle on his own that led him to this desperate measure." Qin Xiaoyu thought of Hanhan's grandmother's poor relatives and guessed what was going on. Wang Jian's side of the family was also difficult to deal with.
"Xiao Jin is crying and begging me to bring Wang Jian back. Should I go there?" Zhou Yue felt sorry for her daughter and was a little flustered.
"Sister! You stay here and behave yourself. That's not a place for you. You're not allowed to go anywhere!" Qin Xiaoyu was terrified. If Zhou Yue went to Wang Jian's house, someone would die.
The only way to get Zhou Yue to behave is to work on Xiao Jin.
Before even entering Xiao Jin's room, they heard Deng Jianyan's roar.
Qin Xiaoyu barged in without knocking. The father and son were facing each other, necks craned, shouting.
"If you dare to step out of this house, don't ever come back! I don't recognize you anymore!"
"Fine, I won't admit it!" Xiao Jin retorted without backing down, leaving Deng Jianyan speechless.
"Brother-in-law, go and see my sister."
"What happened to your sister?" Deng Jianyan panicked instantly.
"It's nothing, just a bit of an upset stomach..." Before Qin Xiaoyu could finish speaking, Deng Jianyan had already dashed out. Judging from the sound of him tumbling down the stairs, he was practically crawling.
"What happened to my mom?" Xiao Jin asked anxiously. Qin Xiaoyu stopped her and pushed her onto the bed.
"Aunt Qin, I'm going to see my mom!" Xiao Jin was so anxious she was about to cry again.
"Your mom is fine, I was just scaring your dad." Qin Xiaoyu didn't want to use moral blackmail. If she only used Zhou Yue to pressure Xiao Jin, it would be a piece of cake, but she didn't want to do that.
"Are you really alright?" Xiao Jin asked softly.
"Come on, let's have a good talk." Qin Xiaoyu turned around, locked the door, and sat down next to her.
"Xiao Jin, what do you think is so good about Sister Xiao Yue?"
"Her? She's kind-hearted. She's not like a mother to me, but more like an older sister. She's very considerate of everything I do, and we can even have a good chat. She's also very responsible towards Lisheng, watching over him while she was heavily pregnant." Although Xiaojin didn't understand why Qin Xiaoyu was asking these questions, she still answered honestly.
"If I said it's just for your mother's sake, and you stop making a fuss because her health isn't stable right now, would you listen to me?"
"Yes." Xiao Jin nodded vigorously.
“But I don’t need you to do that. What you’re doing is what you should do. You’re a child, you don’t need to be sensible, just be yourself.” Qin Xiaoyu looked at her affectionately.
"Why? Aunt Qin, are you being sarcastic?" Xiao Jin was completely confused.
"No, I just want you to grow up like a normal child. I'll explain things to you that you don't understand, but I won't try to manipulate you," Qin Xiaoyu said with a gentle smile.
“Aunt Qin, tell me, what should we do about Wang Jian? I don’t believe he’s an ungrateful person. He didn’t take any of the things Uncle Si gave him. He must have his reasons. Last time you told him that a man should be responsible for me, we haven’t been friends since then. We just couldn’t help but care for each other, but we didn’t cross any lines.”
"I know you are all good kids." Qin Xiaoyu nodded.
"Is it really impossible for him to come back now?"
"Let's wait a few days and calm down. I understand how you feel; you desperately want to resolve this immediately, but many things in this world require waiting."
How long will it take?
"I don't know, I'll think of something as soon as possible." Qin Xiaoyu comforted Xiao Jin, and just as she went out, she saw A Lei returning with a cake.
“Sometimes, you’re too weak.” A Lei was very dissatisfied with Qin Xiaoyu’s handling of the situation.
"You've never experienced hardship, you don't understand." Qin Xiaoyu couldn't explain it to him.
“I don’t think this has anything to do with whether you suffer or not. Take Grandma Hanhan, for example. You should kick her out of the house. She doesn’t deserve to sit here. And Wang Meimei, why did you send her to the hospital? You don’t even know her. Are you a bodhisattva?” A Lei left Qin Xiaoyu speechless.
"Fine, I was presumptuous. Are you satisfied now? I am a green tea bitch and a white lotus!" Qin Xiaoyu was also confused with anger.
"Green tea? White lotus? What are those?" A Lei was completely confused by what she said.
"I'm too lazy to explain. Just understand as much as you can." Qin Xiaoyu was too tired to argue anymore, so she slammed the door and walked out of A Lei's room.
"Hey, Qin Xiaoyu." A Lei chased after her to the door.
"how?"
“We’re arguing, that’s progress.” A Lei’s smile was as innocent as a child’s, and Qin Xiaoyu’s heart softened again. She turned around and went back to him, suddenly stood on tiptoe, put her hands on his shoulders, bit his chin hard, and then mischievously ran towards the stairs.
A Lei's leg had not fully recovered, so there was no way he could catch up with her before she locked the door. He could only watch her back with resentment.
Qin Xiaoyu had a little flirtation with A Lei, and her mood had improved considerably. Humming a song as she entered the house, she heard the phone ringing. Without a doubt, it was him.
She lay down on the bed, pulled the receiver over, and said in a languid, sexy voice, "Hello..."
"Sister-in-law? Did you take aphrodisiacs?" Tang Wenwen's voice came, and Qin Xiaoyu blushed bright red.
"Go, go to hell!" Qin Xiaoyu shushed her.
“I saw the fax of the poster, it’s so beautiful. When I took it to the printing factory, they all kept asking where it was taken. Sister-in-law, you have such a good eye for choosing models.”
"If it works, we should follow this approach from now on. It'll be much cheaper, right?" Qin Xiaoyu felt pleased to hear Tang Wenwen praise her.
"How's everything at home lately? I've been so busy I haven't been calling much, and you guys don't seem to be thinking about me," Tang Wenwen complained.
Qin Xiaoyu suddenly remembered the brawl involving a hundred people and felt a little choked up.
“It’s all good. Fourth Sister-in-law is much better now. I saw the photos of Xiao Zichen that you sent last time, and they were all wrinkled in her wallet. It’s the child’s birthday soon, take some more and send them to her.”
"Okay, don't worry, definitely! I also bought her a pair of gold earrings and will send them over together. To be honest, when Fourth Brother first married her, I thought, what a waste of Fourth Brother's talent. But now I see, it's all about fate. Look, she's become a better person since she's been with Fourth Brother."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Wenwen didn't ask a single question about Hanhan's grandmother. Perhaps not hearing from them was good news.
