Feeling annoyed, he looked at Li Jumei apologetically and said, "Mom, I'm sorry, I kept everyone from eating. Let's continue eating now."
Qin Yanzheng shifted his gaze to Yang Fan and said, "Let's eat."
Yang Fan nodded without saying anything.
...
"You didn't happen to be right about what your older brother said, did you?"
After dinner, Qin Yaqing and Qin Yaxin washed the dishes together in the kitchen. Thinking about what had happened during dinner, she couldn't help but ask Qin Yaxin. Upon hearing what she said, Qin Yaxin immediately frowned and said, "What's it to you?"
"If it's true, I advise you to listen to your older brother and focus on your studies."
They are sisters. Besides, she was indeed at fault before; she didn't return home immediately when things went wrong, missing her mother's final moments. Now she's being resented by her own sister.
She deserved what she got, but she genuinely didn't want her younger sister to make the same foolish mistake she had made, all because of a few sweet words from a boy.
A strange feeling began to grow in her heart, and she became as if bewitched, with only the other person in her eyes and heart, ignoring the opinions of her family, to pursue what she thought was love.
The result... the result was that he was left battered and bruised!
If her sister-in-law hadn't personally come to pick her up and said those enlightening words, she would still be stuck in Qiaoxingtun, trying to salvage that ridiculous love that she could never hold onto.
What if I don't?
Qin Yaxin stared intently at Qin Yaqing: "What can you do to me?"
"Second sister, you're gambling with your life out of spite!"
Qin Yaqing emphasized, "Brother's words tonight may have been a bit harsh, but he truly meant well. If sister-in-law finds out about what happened tonight, what do you think she will do to you?"
Reminded by Qin Yaqing, Qin Yaxin thought of the whip Song Lan had mentioned and immediately shivered involuntarily.
"I've been your age, so I know what you're thinking. It's nothing more than that the boy is good-looking, talks to you differently than he does to other female classmates, and even cares about you."
When someone shows concern for your well-being, it unconsciously satisfies your vanity, but how do you know they're not faking it?
Take me for example. A few extra words of concern from someone, or a few sweet words that would satisfy a girl's vanity, would make me feel like I was possessed.
I thought he was perfect in every way, and I wanted to be with him all the time. So, I recklessly followed him to a remote rural area.
Little did I know... his kindness towards me was all an act, just because our family was well-off... Once he learned about our family's troubles, his attitude towards me immediately changed, as if we had never met...
My sister-in-law appeared just in time and pulled me out of it; otherwise, I'm afraid I would have ruined my whole life because of her!
Second sister, I'm not exaggerating. I'm telling you this to help you clear your head. Our family will definitely be moving back to Beijing eventually. If you get too involved with that boy then, how will you handle it?"
Qin Yaqing spoke earnestly, but after listening to her words, Qin Yaxin felt no gratitude whatsoever: "I'm not as stupid as you, easily fooled by a few words."
Upon hearing what Qin Yaxin said, Qin Yaqing's expression changed almost imperceptibly. After a long pause, she said, "You've been by my sister-in-law's side longer than I have. If she finds out you didn't listen to her advice..."
If you were to be completely deceived, have you ever considered how your sister-in-law would feel if that day ever came?
"Stop worrying unnecessarily!"
She's very bright!
Gu Xingchen wants to play tricks on her? Dream on!

Beijing City.
Although Song Lan had already determined the current status of the bullet casing fragments remaining in the bodies of the four elderly men, she still carefully reviewed the X-rays taken by the four men at the hospital the following day.
This gave Dean Su a definite answer, saying that she could perform surgery on the four patients, including Grandpa Lu, but on one condition—the patients and their families had to agree!
Of course, Song Lan knew that the four old men had no objection to her handling the matter, but the attitude of their families was still unknown.
In the inpatient department, in the ward where Grandpa Lu and his three companions were staying.
"Old Lu, who's coming over from your family later?"
Grandpa Luo asked Grandpa Lu.
"I reckon it's a full-scale operation."
Grandpa Lu said speechlessly, "Whenever it's something related to my health, no matter how small, they always like to make a fuss and swarm around me."
"Whose family are you talking about?!"
Grandpa Luo's tone was a little sour: "I'm afraid that apart from those who are working out of town and can't make it, everyone else in my family, big and small, will probably come together."
"In my family, it's most likely the eldest son who took his mother on this trip."
As Old Master He casually remarked, he noticed his three old friends all looking at him and raised an eyebrow: "Why are you all looking at me?"
"You're being treated like dirt!"
Grandpa Luo gave a comment.
"My children and grandchildren are either working or studying. Do you expect them to drop everything and come all the way to the hospital?"
Besides, how old are we? We're just going to be taken to the operating table for a minor surgery, is it necessary to make such a fuss?
Besides, I have absolute faith in Lanlan. Even if I didn't make it through surgery, just living to this age would be a worthwhile life.
Old Master He's tone sounded particularly calm, and his words came from the bottom of his heart, showing that he had truly seen through life and death.
"What Lao Luo said makes sense."
