Zhao Weiguo was very troubled.
He knew that wherever Lin Xiaoxiao appeared, nothing good would happen.
She turned a perfectly good family dinner into a scene of fighting and brawling.
But they couldn't do anything about her.
Seeing Zhao Yu being beaten, He Meng ran out of the kitchen and raised her hand to hit Lin Xiaoxiao.
Qin Yushen's eyes turned cold, and he was about to stop her when Lin Xiaoxiao threw Zhao Yu aside, grabbed He Meng's hand, and said sarcastically, "You don't care when your own son is called a beast, but you're so worried when the person who insulted him gets beaten up. What kind of loving mother are you pretending to be?"
Previously, they could barely maintain a semblance of appearances.
Now that they're all leaving, who wants to keep up the act with her?
Lin Xiaoxiao did not forget the past experiences that Qin Yushen told her, and neither did Qin Yushen.
It's a bit too late to think about being a loving mother at this point.
In He Meng's heart, if she had to choose between Qin Yushen and Zhao Yu, she would always choose Zhao Yu.
He Meng's stiff expression crumbled inch by inch. She opened her mouth, wanting to explain something, but didn't know how to say it.
Seeing Zhao Yu's bruised and swollen face out of the corner of her eye, she felt sorry for him and helped him up, saying, "Mom will go get you some medicine."
"Mom, no need." Zhao Yu pulled him back, then turned and glared fiercely at Lin Xiaoxiao. "Even if you hit me, I'll still say it: Qin Yushen is a heartless ingrate. What have I done to wrong him?"
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao clench his fists, He Meng quickly tugged at him, "Don't say anything."
Lin Xiaoxiao is a crazy person who bites anyone she sees; going against her is simply asking for trouble.
"Don't pretend to be a big shot." Lin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "Of all the Zhao family members, Zhao Yu, you're the most cunning."
"I just don't understand. Did my Qin Yushen dig up your family's ancestral grave when he was a child? Why do you hate him so much and use every trick in the book against him?"
"What, does bullying others give you a sense of accomplishment?"
"The poor thing you bullied since childhood has now become someone you can't catch up to no matter how hard you try. Are you jealous?"
"A grown man, with dirty tricks and a petty mind, is truly shameful."
Even though Zhao Yu tried to hide it, Lin Xiaoxiao still caught the occasional flash of jealousy in his eyes.
I understood his mindset instantly.
It's nothing more than resentment and using this as an excuse to make a fuss.
He derives pleasure from belittling Qin Yushen.
Lin Xiaoxiao despises this kind of person the most; they have little ability but their ambitions are sky-high.
Zhao Yu's face twitched. "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I bully him? He's always been the one bullying me since we were kids. My parents know that better than anyone."
He Meng, standing to the side, frowned as she recalled how Qin Yushen had bullied Zhao Yu when they were children, and her eyes were filled with dissatisfaction as she looked at Qin Yushen.
Even Zhao Weiguo remained silent.
He Meng said to Qin Yushen, "You've been jealous of Xiao Yu since you were little, but that's no reason for you to bully him all the time."
“I remember when you were ten years old, Xiao Yu was only seven. He went out to play with you, but you abandoned him in the ditch next to the family compound. When we found Xiao Yu, he had almost drowned.”
"If you don't love your younger brother, then naturally I won't like you."
Qin Yu sneered, "You didn't see it with your own eyes, so how can you be sure it was me?"
He Meng blurted out, "Who else could it be but you?"
After saying that, he realized he had said something wrong, so he changed his words, "Several kids in the family compound saw you push Xiao Yu, you can't deny it."
Qin Yu clenched his fists. "Those kids all get along well with Zhao Yu."
Their father's official position was not as high as Zhao Weiguo's, so they were very eager to please Zhao Yu and did a lot of things for him.
They cooperated to smear others.
He was the main target of bullying.
At first, he would tell He Meng when he was bullied, but He Meng would say that he was disobedient and caused trouble everywhere.
When Zhao Yu bullied her, He Meng only listened to Zhao Yu's side of the story. In her mind, he was a liar who was full of lies.
From that time on, he stopped expressing his grievances to He Meng.
Choose to retaliate in kind.
Since Zhao Yu said I bullied him, then let's get to the bottom of the crime. I can't just take the blame for nothing.
He Meng's heart was biased from the beginning. She couldn't see Qin Yushen's grievances, but she would magnify every time Qin Yushen retaliated against Zhao Yu, and then scold her from the perspective of a mother for not protecting her younger brother and being jealous.
Ever since He Meng punished him by not letting him eat for the first time, Zhao Yu seemed to have found a new source of amusement.
He relentlessly bullied Qin Yushen, and whenever Qin Yushen retaliated, He Meng would always appear by sheer coincidence, scolding, hitting, and punishing him...
The most humiliating moment in Qin Yushen's memory was when He Meng made Zhao Yu slap her in front of everyone in the family compound, saying that this was the consequence of an older brother bullying his younger brother, and that everything she owned would belong to her younger brother from now on, and she wouldn't keep anything for herself.
Everyone was looking at him strangely and pointing at him.
They said he'd definitely be a good-for-nothing in the future.
At that time, Qin Yushen made up his mind that he would work hard to become successful and show everyone how successful he was.
Later, Zhao Weiguo was transferred to Jiangcheng. He Meng left a letter for Qin Jinye and then left Beijing with her luggage and Zhao Yu without saying a word to him.
She must be feeling relieved, relieved that she can finally get rid of this son who is destined to have no future.
During his three years in the Qin family, he experienced too many power struggles, including a hypocritical stepmother, an indifferent father, a sanctimonious younger brother, and a vicious younger sister.
Every day I have to be on guard against being schemed against by them, and my nerves are on edge to the extreme.
He desperately wanted to escape that home, so on the day he turned eighteen, he resolutely enlisted in the army, carrying an old bag, boarded the train, and never looked back.
Qin Yu took a deep breath and said sarcastically, "Why am I telling you all this? If you were going to believe it, you would have believed it more than ten years ago."
He Meng felt that her eldest son hadn't changed; he was still the same as when he was a child, only knowing how to blame others for problems.
"You always say that others are bullying you. If you had no problems, would others bully you?"
Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh, "Victim blaming?"
"If I accidentally cripple your precious youngest son one day, don't blame me. Think about your son's problem. Did he offend me in some way, or did he deserve a beating?"
He Meng was speechless for a moment, "This is really... this is just being unreasonable."
Lin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "She's biased but won't admit it. She's hypocritical."
He Meng pointed at her, her finger trembling, "You..."
Lin Xiaoxiao pulled Qin Yushen to sit down, "Didn't we say we were going to eat? Are we going to eat or not?"
Since we're already here, it would be a shame not to have a meal, given all the time and effort we've put into getting here.
He Meng was about to explode again, but Zhao Weiguo calmed her down in time.
After He Meng entered the kitchen, Zhao Weiguo looked at Zhao Yu with a stern expression, "Tell me honestly, did you bully Yu Shen first before?"
As Zhao Weiguo recalled his memories of living in the family compound in Beijing, the more he thought about it, the more something seemed off.
