After Qin Yanzheng introduced himself, he introduced Wu Dong: "This is Wu Dong, please come in and have a seat, brother."
Song Qingbin smiled and said, "Okay."
Perhaps blinded by jealousy, Han Bailan blurted out, "Song Qingbin, why don't you introduce me to my brother-in-law? Oh! I know, he's blind and has mobility issues. How did my sister fall for him?"
While seemingly belittling Qin Yanzheng, Han Bailan was actually belittling Song Lan; this was Han Bailan trying to find balance for herself.
"If you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth!"
Song Qingbin had a cold expression.
"I didn't say anything wrong."
Han Bailan glared at Song Qingbin, then turned to Chen Dongze: "Comrade Chen, aren't you and my sister-in-law friends? Why didn't you advise her to keep her eyes open when choosing a man? Now look what's happened, she's stuck with a blind man who can't walk properly. How is she going to live the rest of her life?!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Dongze looked embarrassed. He didn't say anything, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
He's blind and has mobility issues. Song Lan might not feel anything for a year or two living with someone like that, but she probably wouldn't be able to stand it for long.
By then, she'll probably be thinking about divorce.
In other words, he will soon be able to rekindle his romance with the girl he likes!
That's what he thought, but Chen Dongze couldn't deny that the moment he saw Qin Yanzheng, he was attracted by the other's appearance and temperament, and he clearly felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
As for looks, he had known for a long time that he was good-looking, otherwise he wouldn't attract the attention of girls wherever he went. However, compared with Song Lan's husband, the man in front of him, Chen Dongze knew that he was slightly inferior to him.
As for temperament, there's no comparison, because he's heard many people around him say that he's gentle and refined, and easy to get along with.
The other party, Song Lan's current husband, is aloof and distant, and seems difficult to approach.
"Who are you, lady? Who gave you the audacity to speak so disrespectfully to Comrade Qin?"
Wu Dong lost his temper.
"I am Song Qingbin's fiancée, so who do you think I am?!"
Han Bailan looked at Wu Dong with a hint of disdain. He was just a soldier, what was so great about him? Why was he showing off to her? Did he think she was easily intimidated?
"By the way, do you think I said something wrong? Isn't he blind? Or does he have no problem with his legs?"
Pointing at Qin Yanzheng, Han Bailan showed no restraint and continued talking to herself.
She looks so sharp-tongued and mean!
"Big brother!"
Hearing the commotion in the yard, Song Lan came out of the kitchen and smiled at Song Qingbin: "Come in and sit down!"
Her gaze shifted to Qin Yanzheng, her voice gentle and tinged with amusement: "Qin Yanzheng, what's wrong with you? Your older brother came to see us, why didn't you invite him into the living room to sit down and chat?"
"It's my fault, don't be angry."
Qin Yanzheng sensed the coquettishness in Song Lan's words and felt a warmth in his heart. He smiled and turned to Song Qingbin, saying, "Please, brother."
Song Qingbin readily agreed, parked his bicycle, and followed Wu Dong and Qin Yanzheng to the living room.
When Han Bailan tried to follow, Song Lan stopped her.
"Comrade Han, please stop."
"What do you mean?"
Han Bailan frowned.
Song Lan bluntly stated, "You are not welcome in my home."
"Song Lan, do you understand? I'm your future sister-in-law!"
Han Bailan felt as if Song Lan had trampled her dignity into the ground, her cheeks flushed with anger. Looking at her, Song Lan's expression was cold, her tone devoid of any warmth:
"So what? As my younger sister, I welcome my older brother to my home. If you haven't spoken rudely to my husband, I naturally welcome you, my future sister-in-law, into my family as well."
But you're new here, and you immediately start criticizing my husband and interfering in my affairs. What right do you, with your rudeness, have to be in my home?
"I was just stating the facts, I didn't mean anything else, why are you taking it so seriously?"
Han Bailan defended herself.
"The truth? What you think is the truth is just your own guess. The real truth is that my husband is only injured. He is temporarily blind and cannot walk normally. He is broad-minded and does not hold a grudge against someone as rude as you. That does not mean I will let you speak ill of my husband."
Song Lan had actually wondered why Song Qingbin had brought Han Bailan along, but she didn't want to accept Han Bailan's apology at the moment, and she didn't want to see him hanging around in front of her.
Therefore, stop the other party from entering the living room.
Chen Dongze stood by, pushing his bicycle, looking awkward and uncomfortable.
Did she not see him, or did she forget that he was standing here too?
"Song Qingbin! Song Qingbin, come out here! Look at your sister, she's blocking me from coming in. If you don't come out now, don't blame me for turning around and leaving!"
Han Bailan called out towards the living room.
"Brother-in-law, Comrade Wu, please have a seat. I'll go out and take a look."
Song Qingbin got up and walked out of the living room. He said he was going out to take a look, but in reality, he planned to leave with Han Bailan now to prevent her from continuing to go crazy here.
Before Qin Yanzheng could react, Song Qingbin had already left the living room.
"Little sister, please tell your brother-in-law that Han Bailan and I have to go to work this afternoon, so we'll leave it at that for today. We can sit down and have a proper chat another day when my brother comes over alone."
With the kickstand open, Song Qingbin didn't give Song Lan a chance to react either, and pushed the bicycle out of the courtyard gate.
Seeing this, Han Bailan stamped her foot and hurriedly chased after him.
"Comrade Chen came to see me?"
Seeing that Song Lan finally turned her gaze to him, Chen Dongze thought to himself: So she did see me, she just didn't have time to talk to me before.
"Um."
Nodding slightly, Chen Dongze said, "I've come to apologize to you."
"..."
Song Lan looked puzzled and asked, "Why?"
baffling!
"I've heard about the rumors. Although this matter involves Song Zhiqing and Yuan Zhiqing, especially Yuan Zhiqing, she heard the rumors from Song Zhiqing. Just because I spent some time with you, she paid someone to spread rumors at the gate of the machinery factory to make you unhappy."
I've already made things very clear with Yuan Zhiqing, and I believe she won't cause you any more trouble. But then I think the root of Yuan Zhiqing's actions lies with me, so..."
Before Chen Dongze could finish speaking, Song Lan interrupted him: "Comrade Chen, do you like taking responsibility for yourself so much?"
"I……"
He wasn't trying to take responsibility; he genuinely felt he was at fault for knowing Yuan Xiaoya since childhood, which led her to develop romantic feelings for him.
And also, he wanted to see her!
"Alright, this has nothing to do with you, you don't need to apologize to me."
Song Lan's eyes were calm and indifferent, and there was no unusual expression on her face. She said, "I'm cooking now, so I won't keep you any longer."
"...Okay, you can go ahead and get busy!"
Chen Dongze opened his mouth and replied, then watched Song Lan turn and walk towards the kitchen, his heart instantly filled with dejection.
What are you doing at my house?
