Just then, Zhang Dahai called. A Lei didn't want Qin Xiaoyu to answer, but she still took the call.
"I'm so sorry about this, I have to lie and say I don't know the truth. Please explain to Xiaoye, and I'll find an opportunity to talk to my mother about our situation..."
"Shut up, this is your business. Go tell Xiaoye to her face." Qin Xiaoyu hates men like this who have no sense of responsibility. He clearly knew the truth, but he put all the blame on Qin Xiaoye.
"Xiaoyu, you can scold me, you can hate me, but please go find Xiaoye now, I'm afraid something might have happened to her..." Zhang Dahai was almost crying.
"You're scared? What were you doing all this time!" Qin Xiaoyu slammed down the phone, finding all that nonsense only adding to her frustration.
But whether or not it's congested isn't up to her; Xiaoyu's father brought his stepmother to their door.
"You can go back now, there's no more fashion show. Are you satisfied now?" Qin Xiaoyu said bluntly.
"How can you talk like that? We came all this way, took time off work, and spent over a hundred yuan on train tickets, and you just dismiss us with a single sentence?" Xiaoyu's father was certain that there were many outsiders around, and Qin Xiaoyu couldn't afford to be too confrontational.
"Don't make things difficult for Xiaoyu. Your mayor in-laws have already left. You should go back to your hometown in Northeast China quietly. Our Fang family doesn't welcome you there." Madam Fang was no pushover. She had already seen through the couple's intentions and directly told them to leave.
"Don't push your luck! I can sue you. You can't just disown me as your biological father! Even if you've climbed the social ladder, remember you're my children! If Xiao Ye had been honest and told the truth back then, would the marriage have fallen through?" Xiao Yu's father was getting angry.
"If she had told the truth back then, her marriage wouldn't have happened! Do you think she wanted to lie? Would she dare to tell the truth? That her mother was a mistress who married into the family, that her father was having affairs with many women? I'm ashamed for you if you don't say it. Now that we've risen on our own, you're all clinging to this. Even if I had died out there, would you have cared?" Qin Xiaoyu's sudden outburst startled everyone present.
"Don't talk nonsense. Who paid your tuition? Who raised you? Have a conscience!" Little Fish's dad never loses an argument.
"Please let us go! Let's go! I'll give you whatever money you want!" Qin Xiaoyu sobbed uncontrollably, nestled in A Lei's arms.
"We don't need money!" Xiaoyu's father suddenly became firm, which startled them. Qin Xiaoyu watched the couple leave in disbelief.
"I'm afraid she'll have to go home and cause trouble. What can we do?" Madam Fang sighed. She saw things clearly. "Xiaoyu, you can't choose your birth. So you understand Zhu Yuzhen, right? The Zhang family is different from our Fang family. They value their reputation, so their relatives and in-laws can't have any stains. But our Fang family is different. The Fang family members themselves are full of stains, haha." Madam Fang's laughter made everyone in the room laugh.
Qin Xiaoyu also sighed, recovering from her outburst.
"If we give them more money, will they stop causing trouble?" Zhou Xing's mother asked cautiously. This was the thought of a kind-hearted person who had never suffered any injustice since childhood.
"You gave him money, and he's even more enthusiastic about causing trouble. People like that are greedy. Does anyone ever complain about having too much money?" Madam Fang sneered.
Qin Xiaoyu hadn't heard from her uncle yet, and she slept restlessly all night, having many dreams.
One moment she was carrying Hanhan on her back, hurrying along in the rain, the rain lashing her face so hard she could barely breathe. The next moment she couldn't find her little sister and was running through the snow, her steps uneven.
"Don't sleep, you look uncomfortable." A Lei woke her up, saw that she was in a daze, wiped the tears from her face, gently kissed her forehead, and hugged her tightly.
"My heart aches so much," Qin Xiaoyu sighed.
The next day, she went to the counter, and as expected, Qin Xiaoye was at work.
Yesterday, some of the staff from the department store came to help out, so everything about Qin Xiaoye has already quietly spread.
Everyone suspected that she had a relationship with Zhang Dahai, and given Zhang Dahai's background, it was hard not to attract attention.
A while ago, she was seen wearing a ring on her middle finger, leading some to speculate that she was engaged. However, she remained tight-lipped and wouldn't say anything no matter how many times they asked.
Yesterday, Xiaoyu's dad made a scene, and all the mysteries were revealed. Everyone pieced together the story, creating a complete gossip tale.
Qin Xiaoye's fabricated background to deceive people into marriage became a bigger news story than a fashion show.
Seeing Qin Xiaoyu approaching, Qin Xiaoye put down what she was doing and walked towards her.
The two sisters walked outside.
Qin Xiaoyu took her to a nearby coffee shop. It was morning, and there were very few people there.
"I'm sorry." Qin Xiaoye lowered her head, tears falling down her face.
"Why did you lie?" Qin Xiaoyu knew it was pointless, but she couldn't help but scold her.
"It was Zhang Dahai who begged me," Qin Xiaoye said, her voice choked with emotion.
When Qin Xiaoye first arrived in Shanghai, she was unfamiliar with the place and the people, and Zhang Dahai took good care of her. However, Qin Xiaoye knew that the two families were too different, so she didn't have any hope at all. She was a sensible person; not everyone has the kind of luck that Qin Xiaoyu had.
Because of this sentiment, the two maintained a friendship. Qin Xiaoye didn't hide anything and gradually told Zhang Dahai about her family situation, which made Zhang Dahai feel even more sorry for her.
After Tang Wenwen left, Qin Xiaoye was clearly feeling overwhelmed. Zhang Dahai, showing his strong boyfriend qualities, stepped forward and became her solid support.
Zhu Yuzhen's approval of Qin Xiaoye made Zhang Dahai determined to win her over.
During that period, she was living too comfortably, and Qin Xiaoye gradually accepted her new identity. She felt confident that she could break free from her original family and start her life anew.
Zhang Dahai took the opportunity to propose to her, but on one condition: she should not tell his parents the truth, and should only say that Qin Xiaoye's parents were not around.
Qin Xiaoye struggled for a long time, but in the end, she couldn't resist Zhang Dahai's advances and had sex with him on her birthday. With her last line of defense breached, Qin Xiaoye had no choice but to agree.
The two got engaged quickly without any obstacles. Zhu Yuzhen didn't care that Qin Xiaoye came from a poor background; as long as his family was respectable and he had no family, that was the best outcome.
"I know it's no use explaining, the mistake is my mistake." Qin Xiaoye took a deep breath.
"What do you plan to do?" Qin Xiaoyu asked.
"You can transfer me to a counter in any city. I won't get married; I'll live alone until the end. Will they be satisfied then? As long as they don't find any fault with me, they can do whatever they want." Qin Xiaoye's lips curled into a smile, which made Qin Xiaoyu's scalp tingle. She was going crazy.
"Okay, I see it's not convenient for you to stay here, it would be best if you left first. Please do so as soon as possible." Qin Xiaoyu felt relieved to see that Qin Xiaoye didn't have any extreme thoughts.
