After a moment of silence, Song Lan continued, "Who knew that when I went to the hospital where my second sister's boyfriend was being treated, I ran into a mother and daughter. The mother was under thirty, and the daughter was about six or seven years old."
We were walking towards the inpatient department together when I overheard the mother and daughter mention my second sister's boyfriend's name... and at the same time, I heard that my second sister's boyfriend was actually the father the girl was talking about..."
Qin Yanzheng suddenly sat up: "Wife, what did you say?"
"Lie down, be careful not to catch a cold."
Song Lan casually pulled the man back onto the bed and said, "You heard right, and you're not hallucinating. Second Sister's boyfriend, Zhou Zhiyuan, is not only married, but also has a six or seven-year-old daughter. In other words, from the very beginning of his relationship with Second Sister, Zhou Zhiyuan deceived her by concealing his status as a married man."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yanzheng's expression turned unusually cold. After a long while, he asked, "What did Second Sister say?"
"She only said it was impossible, and as for what she would do if it turned out that what I said was true, I don't know. However, I left her a message that once the crew had a holiday on New Year's Eve, she had to leave for home immediately."
After a pause, Song Lan continued, "When she comes back, we'll see what she thinks. If they've broken up, everything will be fine; but if she hasn't broken up and even wants to continue the relationship, I'll make her understand what propriety, morality, and shame are. And you're not allowed to stop me then!"
"Won't."
Qin Yanzheng grabbed Song Lan's hand and said, "You are the eldest sister-in-law, it is your duty to educate your younger siblings. If your second sister is really stubborn, I will teach her a lesson, no matter what you do to her!"
"I feel that my second sister is going to follow the same path as my eldest sister."
Song Lan's expression was complicated: "She has really fallen in love with Zhou Zhiyuan. To be honest, once she becomes obsessed with him, I'm afraid you can't change her mind even if you beat her to death!"
"Just wait and see. Even if you and I can't control her, we still have Dad. If Second Sister doesn't even listen to Dad, then we'll see if Dad will disown her as his daughter!"
Qin Yanzheng patted Song Lan's hand lightly and said, "Go to sleep. There's no need to think too much about your second sister. She's already an adult. If she insists on going down that path, then so be it!"
Life is each person's own.
If Qin Yaxin insists on courting death, as his wife said, beating her to death probably won't do any good.
"Is this something an older brother should say?"
Song Lan glanced at the man, her tone revealing a hint of dissatisfaction: "If our younger siblings do something wrong, we, as their older brother and sister-in-law, have to teach them properly. If we can't teach them well, it means we haven't taught them well enough and need to keep trying. In short, I don't agree with giving up on them and ignoring them."
There's a saying: "Good words are hard to persuade a damned person, and compassion is useless if it doesn't save them."
Hearing Qin Yanzheng say this, Song Lan was taken aback and said, "That's true, but Second Sister is still family. Are you sure you can really let her go down this path to the bitter end?"
"Life is her own. If she insists on courting disaster, then she has only herself to blame!"
Qin Yanzheng's words seemed heartless, no, they were harsh, but it was impossible for him to completely ignore Qin Yaxin's situation.
However, when Qin Yanzheng heard Song Lan say that Zhou Zhiyuan was married, and Qin Yaxin did not express her opinion, he was actually angry, but he did not want to show it to Song Lan.
-
New Year's Eve arrived in the blink of an eye.
"What's this?"
Qin Yaxin looked at the handbag Zhou Zhiyuan handed her, her eyes filled with estrangement and doubt.
“When we were shopping earlier, I saw that you really liked that cream-colored coat, so I thought I'd buy it for you as a New Year's gift. Xin Xin, hurry up and take it! I'm sure you'll look amazing in it!”
Zhou Zhiyuan's eyes were filled with affection. Seeing that Qin Yaxin was still standing there without taking it, he simply stuffed it into her hand.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he let go, the handbag fell to the ground, indicating that Qin Yaxin had not caught it.
"I don't want to!"
Qin Yaxin wasn't actually that angry or resentful about Zhou Zhiyuan's deception. At this moment, she was just pretending not to accept the New Year's gift he gave her, hoping that Zhou Zhiyuan would coax her more.
Having known each other for so long, Zhou Zhiyuan undoubtedly understands Qin Yaxin quite well. At this moment, he wasn't angry at all because of Qin Yaxin's attitude. He even bent down to pick up the handbag and said with a smile, "Xinxin is afraid of hurting her hands, right?"
The two are currently in a hotel room, specifically Qin Yaxin's room.
"Whether my hands get tired or not is none of your business."
Qin Yaxin turned her head away, avoiding Zhou Zhiyuan's gaze, and said in a rather unfriendly tone, "Who are you to me?"
"Xin Xin, are you asking a question you already know the answer to?!"
Zhou Zhiyuan put his arm around Qin Yaxin's waist, his eyes overflowing with laughter and doting affection. He said, "Good Xinxin, don't be angry with me anymore. As soon as we get back to Beijing today, I'll speed things up and talk to my wife about divorce. How about that?"
"What do you mean, 'can't' or 'can't'? Zhou Zhiyuan, explain yourself clearly. What does it have to do with me whether you get a divorce or not?"
Qin Yaxin glared angrily at Zhou Zhiyuan: "You're already married and have such a grown daughter, yet you pursue me so openly. Don't you think you're being unreasonable?"
"Xin Xin, I've told you more than once that I fell in love with you at first sight. As we've spent time together, my feelings for you have deepened to the core. The reason I confessed to you without knowing that I'm married is simply because I couldn't contain my feelings!"
Zhou Zhiyuan's voice was deep and magnetic. His gaze towards Qin Yaxin was almost palpable as he said, "Xinxin, please forgive me, okay? I know I was wrong!"
"Where did you go wrong?"
Qin Yaxin's expression softened considerably.
Zhou Zhiyuan looked like he knew he was wrong: "I shouldn't have hidden the fact that I was married from you, and I shouldn't have kept it from you for so long, Xin Xin. Why don't you hit me a few times to vent your anger? I promise I won't say a word!"
"Fine, I'll forgive you for lying to me, but if it happens again, I definitely won't give you another chance!"
Qin Yaxin glared at Zhou Zhiyuan, then said, "But I can't guarantee you whether my family will accept you..."
"fine."
Zhou Zhiyuan comforted Qin Yaxin: "I said before that I would use my sincerity to move your family and make them agree to let me marry you."
-
Beijing City.
After a half-day train ride, Qin Yaxin and Zhou Zhiyuan returned to Beijing. They are now exiting the train station and parting ways.
"Are you sure you don't need me to take you?"
"Need not."
"But I want to stay a little longer."
"You're taking me by bus anyway, aren't you? And I'm not a three-year-old child, do you think I don't even know how to take a bus?"
Her family is waiting for her. If they knew that Zhou Zhiyuan brought her home, they would definitely say something to her.
Qin Yaxin felt that her sister-in-law Song Lan must have already told the family about Zhou Zhiyuan. Even if she hadn't told her father yet, she had definitely told Qin Yanzheng. And the people Qin Yaxin feared most in the family were not her father, but Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng.
"this……"
