Qin Yanzheng frowned.
"I was just trying to talk things out properly, brother. You have no idea, Brother Song's fiancée is a real jerk. She actually misunderstood that my sister-in-law and Brother Song had an improper relationship."
She even called my sister-in-law a vixen! If it weren't for Brother Song's sake, and not wanting to put my sister-in-law in a difficult position, I would have slapped that woman twice right then and there!
Qin Boyan said angrily, and upon hearing what he said, Qin Yanzheng's face suddenly turned cold: "You should have slapped him back then."
"..."
Was he hallucinating?
Qin Boyan stared at Qin Yanzheng for a while, making sure he hadn't misheard, and then stammered, "That woman is, after all, Brother Song's fiancée, and my sister-in-law wasn't polite to her either."
Qin Yanzheng: "There's nothing wrong with you standing up for your sister-in-law. Even your sister-in-law wouldn't say anything."
Qin Boyan: "Okay, I know what to do from now on."
He paused for a moment and then asked, "We have other guests coming to our house. Didn't you know, brother?"
With a quick glance, Qin Yaxin said, "Second Brother, are you talking about that Comrade Chen?" She was deliberately helping Qin Boyan so that her second brother would bring up the rest of the story.
Qin Boyan gave Qin Yaxin a "you're very smart" look and nodded, "That's right, it's him." He then turned to Qin Yanzheng and said, "Brother, Comrade Chen is my sister-in-law's ex-boyfriend. Did you know he also came to our house?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yanzheng did not respond; instead, he called out to Wu Dong.
Just as Wu Dong was about to speak, Song Lan walked over. She first glanced at Qin Boyan and Qin Yaxin, then fixed her gaze on Qin Yanzheng, and said, "Second brother is right."
Chen Dongze, my ex-boyfriend, did come to our house. He came with my older brother and his family, so I think we probably ran into each other on the way.
What is he doing here?
Qin Yanzheng asked.
I'll tell you after we finish eating.
Song Lan didn't want Qin Boyan and Qin Yaxin to know about the rumors, especially not Qin Boyan, lest he find out and cause trouble for Song Jiaojiao.
Qin Yanzheng remained silent.
"Sister-in-law..."
Qin Boyan smiled apologetically.
"What's wrong?"
Song Lan found it somewhat amusing; was he smiling so ingratiatingly because he was afraid of making her angry?
"This is your bowl."
Handing the bowl of noodles with freshly poured dry-mixed sauce to Song Lan, Qin Boyan said like a lackey, "I know my sister-in-law likes spicy food, so I put extra chili in your bowl."
"Second brother, you're so thoughtful!"
Song Lan smiled and took the bowl, her gaze towards Qin Boyan carrying a deeper meaning: "Does sister-in-law need to say thank you?"
"No need, no need!"
Qin Boyan waved his hand and shook his head.
The adorable little boy slurped up his noodles, and after chewing and swallowing one, he looked at Qin Boyan and said, "Second brother, you smiled so sinisterly at sister-in-law!"
"Little one, how can you talk like that? If you don't know how to use adjectives, then don't use them at all, lest you make a fool of yourself!"
Glaring at the little guy with annoyance, Qin Boyan said, "I was laughing as if I were bathed in a gentle breeze, but you called it insidious. It's terrible to be uncultured!"
"Brother Wu, do you think my second brother was smiling sinisterly at my sister-in-law just now?"
The adorable little boy, Xiao Wu, ignored his second brother and looked to Wu Dong to vouch for him.
“Your word choice was indeed inaccurate. As for what word you should use, Brother Wu will tell you later.”
Wu Dong suppressed a laugh and brushed off the little guy. He had to save face for someone, so it was best not to undermine him.
"Little brat, let me tell you, your second sister, the way your second brother acted towards your sister-in-law just now is what you call a lackey, just like the way traitors behave in front of Japanese devils in those picture books you've seen."
Qin Yaxin acted as if she didn't see Qin Boyan winking at her, and then proceeded to explain to the two little ones.
"I see!"
The adorable little boy suddenly realized.
"What do you understand?"
Qin Boyan pretended to be fierce.
Little Wu, the adorable child: "Second brother is a traitorous dog!"
Qin Boyan laughed: "According to you, then your sister-in-law is a Japanese devil!"
"I didn't say that, Second Brother, don't wrong me!"
The adorable little Wu glared angrily.
Qin Yanzheng spoke up: "Alright, everyone hurry up and eat!" They were all so noisy, couldn't they see that their older brother wasn't in a good mood?
"oh."
Qin Boyan and the others responded in unison.
After the meal, Qin Yaxin went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Qin Boyan helped from the side.
Wu Dong accompanied the two little ones for a walk in the yard to digest their food.
Only Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng remained in the living room.
"Chen Dongze came to apologize to me..."
Before Song Lan could finish speaking, she heard Qin Yanzheng's voice: "Why should he apologize?"
"Because he felt that the rumors were related to him..."
Before Song Lan could finish her sentence, Qin Yanzheng interrupted her again: "What do you mean by 'related to him'?"
"Qin Yanzheng!"
He's usually so calm and collected, so what's he doing right now?
A look of confusion crossed Song Lan's eyes.
Noticing his own unusual behavior, Qin Yanzheng turned his head away, coughed lightly twice while covering his mouth with his fist, and then faced Song Lan again: "Continue." He shouldn't be too agitated; with her intelligence, she must already be suspicious.
However, the name "Chen Dongze" was indeed a sensitive one for him. It wasn't that he lacked confidence in himself or in his wife, Song Lan, but rather that her past identity made him uncomfortable.
His ex-partner, his wife's ex-partner.
Since he's already an ex, why is he haunting her and trying to get her attention in front of his wife?
"Don't interrupt me again, or I'll turn around and leave, and you can think whatever you want." You're asking for trouble!
Song Lan feigned displeasure, unaware that her little temper pleased Qin Yanzheng, making him feel that their relationship had progressed and that she no longer treated him like an outsider.
To be more precise, Qin Yanzheng felt that Song Lan used to be very polite to him, but as they spent more time together, he noticed a change in Song Lan, that is, she became less polite and more casual.
What does this indicate?
She must already have him in her heart.
Just like him, he no longer saw her as a partner to share life with, but kept her in his heart, wanting to understand her heart and stay with her for life.
"I'll listen to you."
Qin Yanzheng gave his guarantee.
Upon hearing this, Song Lan smiled faintly and said, "Chen Dongze has a childhood sweetheart surnamed Yuan. They were sent to the countryside together in Shisong Village. That Yuan, the educated youth, has liked Chen Dongze since she was a child."
But Chen Dongze didn't have those feelings for her, so this educated youth, Yuan, felt it was my fault. Even though Chen Dongze and I had become strangers, she still resented me, and then Song Jiaojiao took advantage of the situation..."
After relaying Chen Dongze's account to Qin Yanzheng, Song Lan concluded by saying, "Before I left work at noon, I received a call from the police station informing me that Song Jiaojiao would be undergoing five days of ideological education and labor reform."
The police officer at the station didn't mention Yuan, the educated youth, on the phone. I think she probably escaped punishment because of family connections.
Qin Yanzheng asked, "That Chen educated youth comes from a prominent family, right?"
