Chapter 2532 Miao Liang and Zhai Yaohui 33
"I have to take care of my mother now. Your return will be the greatest help to me."
“…”
“…”
Qi Minlan and Grandma Zhai were both a little dumbfounded. Grandma Zhai didn't expect Zhai Yaohui to say something so hurtful, while Qi Minlan didn't expect that Zhai Yaohui had never let her take care of the child before. It wasn't because he felt sorry for her and would be tired taking care of Grandma Zhai, but because he never wanted her to take care of the child at all. He treated her as an outsider and now wanted to drive her away!
Qi Minlan's face turned pale: "Brother Zhai, what did you just say? I, I didn't understand, did I misunderstand?"
Impossible, it can't be like this.
If Zhai Yaohui had this attitude towards her, how could he have driven the little country girl out of the Zhai family even though he knew that Chief Zhai liked that little country girl so much?
Isn't it for her that Zhai Yaohui did this?
Besides, it couldn't be that she was overthinking this, could it?
Otherwise, why was the little girl not driven away for such a long time in the past year? Why did she have to move out of the Zhai family now that Zhai Yaohui came back? This explanation doesn't make sense.
Zhai Yaohui: "I'm not sure if there is any misunderstanding now, but I know there must have been misunderstandings before. Qi Minlan, you should go back. Although you and I are not alone in the same room, it is inevitable that people will misunderstand us. If you and your boyfriend quarrel, it will not be good. We grew up together, and I am your brother. If you get married and someone bullies you, you can come to me and I will help you."
"Brother? Boyfriend?" Hearing these two words, Qi Minlan felt dizzy. The world in front of her eyes seemed to be spinning, and she almost couldn't stand. "Brother Zhai, what do you mean by that? When did I have a boyfriend?"
Thinking about it, Qi Minlan immediately explained: "I do have some male friends, but my boyfriend is only, only..." You!
Qi Minlan is a smart person. During the ten years, the status of the Zhai family only seemed to be a little shaky, but it has not collapsed yet.
Therefore, Qi Minlan would not cut off her own retreat, do things thoroughly, and completely separate herself from Zhai Yaohui.
Even if there were other boys around him all the time, Qi Minlan would keep a proper distance from these boys and would not let herself fall completely into them.
To be honest, we are all good friends, and no man is worthy of the title of Qi Minlan's boyfriend.
As a result, when Qi Minlan answered this question in front of Zhai Yaohui, he answered particularly quickly.
But sometimes, the faster you answer, the more guilty you appear.
It was the shy seventies. Unless a man and a woman were getting married and preparing some wedding items, they would rarely go out together, let alone hold hands. They would blush if their hands accidentally touched each other.
Many times, when a man likes a girl, he doesn't dare to look at the girl openly, but instead finds someone to go to her house and talk to her.
In such a youthful era, even though it was a new society, the new society emphasized equality between men and women, but when lesbians got close to gays, they were not in a relationship. It was okay for men, but women could easily be mistaken for being improper.
If it weren’t for the Shi family’s good conditions and Zhai Yaohui’s outstanding performance.
Otherwise, those ugly rumors about Qi Minlan would have been flying all over the place.
Even an outstanding and gifted man like Zhai Yaohui doesn't mind that his fiancée Qi Minlan has so many male friends. As a bystander, it's certainly not easy to say too much.
After all, the local custom is that it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage, right?
Perhaps influenced by this general environment, Qi Minlan comforted herself in this way and actually took it as reality - she had never done anything to let Zhai Yaohui down.
When she was with her male friends, they were just discussing some activities normally. There was only one man with whom she had an intimate relationship, and that was her fiancé Zhai Yaohui.
Qi Minlan had already set up this hypothesis perfectly, but who knew that at this time, Zhai Yaohui wanted to wake Qi Minlan up and said that all the previous events were misunderstandings.
What happened in the past?
Of course, they are an engaged couple!
Zhai Yaohui made it so clear that the strong-willed Qi Minlan could no longer deceive herself: "Brother Zhai, you also said that we grew up together. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. I am exhausted from guessing so vaguely. What do you mean?"
Zhai Yaohui: "I know that you and the Shi family have always said to others that we are an engaged couple. You should know that the two families have not officially stated this matter or held any ceremony or banquet. To me, you are just a sister, just like my own sister."
He has no romantic feelings for Qi Minlan at all.
He didn't feel this way before, but recently Zhai Yaohui found that he could no longer accept the days with Qi Minlan. Just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable.
Zhai Yaohui is not the kind of person who would force himself. When he doesn't feel something, he will just remain silent.
Now he had figured it all out. Zhai Yaohui certainly wanted to make things clear between him and Qi Minlan, without any ambiguity.
"Dear sister?" Even though Qi Minlan already had a premonition, when she heard these three words, she still had a particularly absurd feeling.
My sister?
Who are you fooling?
Who would hear someone say that he and his younger sister are engaged and not react at all, but just accept it as it is?
So, did Zhai Yaohui want to deceive her, or did he want to deceive others, or did he want to deceive himself?
Qi Minlan, who was about to explode on the spot, pinched herself to control herself from exploding.
She didn't understand. She listened to her father's words to gain Aunt Zhai's favor, so she got Aunt Zhai's approval earlier. Aunt Zhai urged Zhai Yaohui to settle their affairs, so that she could officially become the daughter-in-law of the Zhai family. .
How come she hasn't even started working yet and is still working on Aunt Zhai, but she is defeated by Zhai Yaohui's words and has no more work to do?
After all was said and done, Zhai Yaohui's attitude towards her suddenly became so firm, leaving no room for negotiation. They went from being an engaged couple to being siblings, all because of that vixen from the country.
When Miao Liang left, Qi Minlan happily thought she had won.
When Miao Liang was leaving, Qi Minlan happened to meet her, and Miao Liang said some words of blessing. Qi Minlan also felt that he had won at that time, and he stepped on Miao Liang's face.
But looking back now, Qi Minlan always feels provoked.
