Qin Zhenshan and Qin Zhenyue's faces stiffened simultaneously. They were furious, but they couldn't vent their anger on the spot. They were like someone who had swallowed a chicken heart, unable to express their feelings.
Qin Zhenyuan chuckled and said, "This child is shy around strangers."
Qin Zhenshan and Qin Zhenyue finally found a way to back down, and then looked at Ye Weiwei who was still smiling.
Ye Weiwei smiled very politely, but her words were anything but polite: "I really don't like you."
Qin Zhenshan and Qin Zhenyue really couldn't hold back anymore.
Qin Zhenshan slammed his fist on the table in anger: "Brother, your wife's upbringing is truly remarkable! I am her elder, and I even came to meet her in person today. Is this how she treats her elder? She doesn't even have basic manners!"
Qin Zhenyue frowned as well: "Brother, is there something I did wrong? Tell me, and I will definitely change."
Qin Zhenyuan looked calmly at his two cousins, then slowly took a sip of tea, and then frowned slightly.
Ever since he drank the good tea his daughter-in-law gave him, no other tea could catch his eye. He felt that the taste of the tea in front of him had changed, and it just didn't taste right no matter how he tasted it.
Seeing Qin Zhenshan and Qin Zhenyue's expressions change drastically, Ye Weiwei's smile remained unchanged, as if she were wearing a mask.
Even his tone of voice was steady and calm, without any emotion.
"In terms of upbringing, I am indeed no match for you two. Not only are you well-mannered, but you are also thick-skinned than most people. Let alone in Kyoto, even in my husband's rural hometown, elders are expected to give a gift when they meet younger generations for the first time. Don't the Qin family, who come from a prominent family and always talk about manners and rules, know this?"
Since you know that Huo Xiao and I came to Kyoto, you must also know that we have three children. You just didn't prepare anything for Huo Xiao and me. Surely we should have three children?
If you really cared, how come you haven't asked a single question since you came in?
That's fine, after all, we don't care about your stuff. But you came empty-handed, and you even dared to try to steal my tea. You have a lot of shamelessness.
My father is the vice president of Peking University, and my mother comes from a family of doctors. She is well-versed in poetry and literature and is fluent in three foreign languages. I was taught by my maternal grandfather, Zhang Chunqiu, from a young age. I started reciting the Tangtou Ge (a traditional Chinese medicine formula) as soon as I could speak, learned to hold a pen at the age of three, and learned to take a pulse at the age of seven. My academic performance in all subjects has always been among the best. Although I dare not say that I am outstanding, I would never dare to accept your statement that I have no family education.
Gentlemen, don't think I'm easy to bully just because I'm young. And don't try to act like an elder in front of me.
I'm a straightforward person, and I hate listening to sarcasm. We all know why you've come here. Let's get straight to the point. We're all shrewd people; why are you playing these ghost stories?
His words were clear and articulate, each word like a pearl, leaving Qin Zhenshan and Qin Zhenyue speechless.
They now truly regret letting Ye Weiwei speak.
This Ye Weiwei really doesn't show any mercy to anyone.
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became extremely strange.
Finally, it was only after Old Master Qin had watched the show enough that he broke the silence, "Alright, it's getting late. Do you two have anything else to do? If not, you should both go back. Don't come here unless you have to."
Upon hearing Old Master Qin's words, Qin Zhenshan and Qin Zhenyue knew he was angry, and quickly said, "Brother, we didn't think it through. We came here to meet our nephew and niece-in-law privately first, to see if they needed anything. We were originally planning to give them a gift during the New Year's visit..."
Qin Zhenyuan snorted: "Giving a gift when visiting someone for the New Year? Second brother, your brain is as quick as ever, you know how to save trouble. No need, Weiwei just said that she doesn't care about any gifts from you. If your heart isn't sincere, we won't care even if you give us a mountain of gold and silver."
Qin Zhenyue knew his second brother had misspoke and quickly tried to salvage the situation, "Big brother, don't be angry. You know about what happened with the Zhou family the other day. It's just that Zhou Qingwan was only recently discharged from the hospital. After all, we're all relatives. Our nephew and niece-in-law beat someone up like that, and we weren't very kind to them before..." Qin Zhenyuan narrowed his eyes: "Beat someone up like that? Is she crippled or disabled?"
Qin Zhenyue shrank back, intimidated by Qin Zhenyuan's imposing manner, and stammered, "No, that's not true."
Qin Zhenyuan sneered: "Third brother, I don't want to know or care about what's going on between you and those people from the Zhou family, but you go back and tell the Zhou family that if they dare to lay a finger on my children again, I guarantee I'll have them crippled!"
Qin Zhenyue's face darkened. "Brother, what are you saying? We're all relatives, after all, and it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester..."
Qin Zhenyuan said coldly, "Relatives? What kind of relatives act like mad dogs, biting their own family members in public? If those Zhous don't know how to discipline their children, then I'll find someone to discipline them for them!"
Qin Zhenshan secretly tugged at Qin Zhenyue's clothes, signaling him to stop talking.
Qin Zhenyuan was clearly angry, and saying anything more at this point would only make things worse.
Qin Zhenyuan saw their little tricks but didn't bother to expose them, so he simply told them to leave.
Qin Zhenshan and Qin Zhenyue slunk away from the Qin family.
They had originally planned to have a meal here, but Aunt Hua had already set out the food, and they were kicked out.
As they left the military compound, the two of them turned back at the same time, filled with resentment.
"Second brother, what do you think eldest brother means by this? What does 'don't go there unless it's absolutely necessary' mean? Is he trying to completely sever ties with us? All for that son we only recently reunited with?"
Qin Zhenshan's face was extremely sour at this moment.
Don't be fooled by his ever-smiling and seemingly gentle demeanor; deep down, he's incredibly arrogant. He always thinks he's superior because of his prestigious family background and acts like he's above everyone else, offering his opinions on everyone.
Unexpectedly, Ye Weiwei's rapid-fire words today left me feeling utterly humiliated.
But Qin Zhenyue kept nagging from the side, "Second brother, what you said just now was indeed a bit too much. You know that eldest brother is the most protective of his own, yet you said in front of him that his daughter-in-law is ill-mannered and doesn't give him face. No wonder eldest brother is angry."
Qin Zhenshan was absolutely furious. "What did I say wrong? Where did I go wrong? I'm their elder, after all. Can't I even say a few words to them? But those two of them, they don't respect me at all, they're completely lawless!"
Qin Zhenyue was startled by his sudden outburst and said weakly, "You can't say to her face that she has no manners or upbringing, after all, she is Grandpa Zhang's granddaughter."
