A husband's infidelity during his wife's pregnancy is an unforgivable crime.
A Lei's father was branded a womanizer his entire life.
In the division of property, he had no intention of even fighting for it, letting Miranda's brother take the lion's share for her.
"Has he remarried?" Qin Xiaoyu had never asked A Lei about this.
“No. His true love is the lab; it would be cheating if he were to find another woman.” Miranda shrugged.
Why has he refused to return to China?
“His project is too high-end; it’s been controlled. But I know he’ll definitely come back. Once he achieves some results, he’ll run back to serve his country. There’s no doubt about the Fang family’s patriotism.” Miranda spoke casually, but Qin Xiaoyu was filled with respect. So this was the kind of person A Lei’s father was.
For him, relationships and marriage might be superfluous; dedicating his life to one cause is enough.
It's just a pity for A Lei.
“That night, you left. I suddenly felt very lonely and cried for a while. My heart felt very uncomfortable. I wanted to hold on until dawn, but… for a moment, I felt that I would probably just die alone like this, that this was my own doing, but why did I feel somewhat unwilling? Seeing you all so happy, I don’t hate you, I’m jealous, but I can’t fit in.” Miranda suddenly revealed her true feelings, catching Qin Xiaoyu off guard, and she didn’t know how to respond for a moment.
“Actually, every time I nitpick, it's on purpose. I want to convince myself that you're wrong and I'm right, but…”
Qin Xiaoyu did not respond; she decided to be a good listener and let Miranda sort things out herself.
“You’re right, no one can keep a person alive. I also need family and a community. So, please accept me. I’m an unsuccessful mother, something I’ve deliberately avoided for many years, but now I have to face it.”
"You'll do very well because you're smart." Qin Xiaoyu tightened her grip on her hand; A Lei also had a mother now.
After this incident, Qin Xiaoyu has new plans for Xiaojin's trip to England.
Although Miranda has recovered well, she's still alone after returning to England, and her work is very demanding. She needs companionship, someone to be there for her in life. Xiao Jin is perfectly suited for this role, and there's no doubt Miranda will dedicate herself to teaching her. Such a mentor is highly sought after.
Zhou Yue always listened to Qin Xiaoyu, and her decision was right.
So while Miranda still has some time to recover, it's a good time to get Xiaojin a passport.
More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and little Jiajia is almost 100 days old. She is fair-skinned, chubby, and very cute.
This is another easy child to take care of. He hardly ever cries or fusses. He eats his fill, then sleeps, and when he wakes up, he kicks his legs and plays with balloons.
Qin Xiaoyu loosely tied two ropes to his calves, with a balloon hanging from one end and a small bell attached. When he kicked, the balloons trembled and the bells rang incessantly.
Little Jiajia would giggle along.
Miranda was a little embarrassed at first, but she gradually came over to chat and learn about her physical condition. She wouldn't let her hold the baby, so she could only sit by the cradle and watch.
“You look just like you when you were little.” She looked up and said earnestly to A Lei.
"Oh," A Lei replied casually, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Qin Xiaoyu knew that the relationship between the mother and son was already being repaired. The plane ride was worthwhile.
But there are always uninvited guests who spoil their good mood.
"Why are they here?" Madam Fang was the first to notice the situation from the window. A servant quickly came in to report that Zhu Yuzhen and Xing Suyuan requested to see Qin Xiaoyu.
Of course, they couldn't be allowed to meet alone, so the whole family came downstairs to keep them company.
"Let me show you." Zhu Yuzhen tossed out a large envelope.
Qin Xiaoyu took it, and the photos inside made her hesitate. As she expected, Qin Xiaoye and Zhang Dahai were together again.
In the photos, they were seen coming and going together. Qin Xiaoye had changed so much compared to before that she was almost unrecognizable. To describe her as radiant would not be an exaggeration.
When she and Zhang Dahai looked into each other's eyes, sparks flew.
"I remember you said that Qin Xiaoye would not look for Zhang Dahai again." Zhu Yuzhen had come to demand justice.
"Ha, you even said your son wouldn't see Qin Xiaoye. This pair of adulterers, they're getting together on their own, what are we supposed to do?" Qin Xiaoyu put the photos back and threw them on the table.
Upon hearing the words "dog couple," Zhu Yuzhen's expression changed, and she exchanged a glance with Xing Suyuan.
"Shouldn't you keep an eye on your sister?"
"I'm so sorry, you can't even discipline your son, what can I, as his older sister, do?" Qin Xiaoyu said with a bitter smile. "Aren't you very resourceful? Cut off his financial support and force them to break up."
"It was my carelessness. He transferred some of his assets to Qin Xiaoye, and I didn't know what to do about it," Zhu Yuzhen said bitterly.
"This Shanghai is your territory. You have connections everywhere, so handle it yourself. Let me state my position: Qin Xiaoye is indeed my half-sister, but we've severed ties. To be honest, she took five thousand yuan from my account when she left, and I'm still looking for her." Qin Xiaoyu wasn't trying to deny it; she was telling the truth.
"Fine, whatever I do is none of your business. Here's her address, you can go look for her there, you might even find someone you wouldn't expect." Zhu Yuzhen tossed an address aside, got up, and walked out.
Qin Xiaoyu understood immediately; the two people who had gone missing from their hometown had probably already arrived in Shanghai.
This is truly unbelievable. Parents supporting their daughter being a mistress and even coming to her door to back her up—birds of a feather flock together.
"Xiaoyu, this matter..." Madam Fang was also distressed for Qin Xiaoyu after hearing this.
"I'd better go. If Zhu Yuzhen gets ruthless, she'll probably give them a run for their money. They really don't know their place." Qin Xiaoyu knew that Zhu Yuzhen couldn't believe she was uninvolved in this matter, and would probably hold her accountable sooner or later, but she just didn't have time for it now.
When Qin Xiaoyu and A Lei found Qin Xiaoye's place, it was almost dark. It was a detached two-story building, but it looked quite old.
The lights were on inside the building, but the small door light at the entrance was dim.
A Lei raised his hand and pressed the doorbell, and soon there were footsteps inside.
It was Xiao Ye's father who opened the door. His face changed drastically when he saw them. He blocked the doorway, not intending to let them in.
"Who is it?" Qin Xiaoye's voice came from inside.
"yes……"
"It's me!" Qin Xiaoyu shouted.
"Let them in," Qin Xiaoye instructed, and Xiaoye's father quickly moved aside at the doorway.
A delicious aroma wafted from the first floor, indicating they hadn't eaten yet. Xiao Ye's mother emerged from the back, wearing an apron, and presented Qin Xiao Ye with a small bowl of soup, saying proudly, "Smell this, doesn't it smell good? Not disgusting, right?"
