"Didn't you see I got here first? If your eyes are useless, you can donate them to someone else."
"What on earth is this grown man thinking? Who do you think you are, worrying about being followed?"
“You…” Zhao Yu gritted his teeth.
Zhou Mingmei didn't understand why he was arguing with a woman, especially since he couldn't win the argument and was left speechless.
He's just asking for trouble.
Zhao Yu didn't know why, but he felt annoyed whenever he saw Lin Xiaoxiao, and he couldn't stand the sight of her no matter what.
He had only ever experienced this feeling with his half-brother.
This feeling is absolutely awful.
In fact, what was going to get even worse for him was yet to come.
"Qin Yushen, come over here and help me take a look at this." Lin Xiaoxiao was holding up a piece of clothing and about to ask the sales clerk when she saw Qin Yushen appear not far away.
Qin Yu searched high and low, finally finding Lin Xiaoxiao, and breathed a sigh of relief.
As I approached, I saw Zhao Yu standing there, stunned.
Without saying a word to him, he walked over to Lin Xiaoxiao and offered her his advice.
"Brother, what brings you to the city?"
What Zhao Yu really wanted to ask was what his relationship with Lin Xiaoxiao was.
Qin Yu said calmly, "If you can come, why can't I?"
Zhao Yu suffered a heart attack.
Now I finally understand why he dislikes Lin Xiaoxiao so much.
She and her brother are exactly the same kind of people.
They are all annoying.
Zhao Yu felt resentful, but he didn't dare to challenge Qin Yu Shen right now.
After all, he is still a company commander under Qin Yushen. As long as he is not transferred, he will be under Qin Yushen's management.
He cannot give him a chance to find fault with something.
Having thought things through, Zhao Yu once again demonstrated his patience, waiting for Zhou Mingmei without saying a word.
"Is that idiot your brother?" Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask on the way back after leaving the department store.
Qin Yu nodded deeply.
During the meal, he talked to Lin Xiaoxiao about his family situation.
This includes the Qin family in Beijing and the Zhao family in the military region.
Lin Xiaoxiao stroked her chin and complained, "Your stepfather has it pretty tough too. He raised one daughter badly, and his youngest son is an incompetent ragester."
The son of a dignified army commander has started to imitate a sycophant.
The key issue is that people don't really take him seriously.
I don't even know what I'm asking for.
Qin Yushen's eyes darkened as he thought of something. "Commander Zhao has four children, and he is the most favored one."
She had everything she wanted from a young age, doted on by her father and loved by her mother, making her the envy of all the children in the compound.
As he grew up, even the path he would take in the future was planned out for him.
Everyone else was just a stepping stone on his path to advancement.
Including him.
Lin Xiaoxiao noticed his sudden drop in mood.
I suspect he might have been thinking about something unpleasant or a bad memory.
According to his account of family relationships, his biological father married his stepmother and had younger siblings, while his biological mother married his stepfather and also had younger siblings.
He was just over one year old when his parents started their own families.
Like a football being passed from one house to another, he felt more like a guest staying at his parents' house than a home, where he felt no sense of belonging.
The biological father is indifferent to everything, the stepmother is all talk and no action, the biological mother is biased, and the stepfather has no principles.
In order to break free from the constraints imposed by his youthful delusions and take control of his own destiny, he chose to burn his bridges and join the army.
Unexpectedly, he was assigned to the Jiangcheng Military Region, where he saw his biological mother, stepfather, and younger brother's family living together in harmony.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at him with pity.
Oh, what a poor little thing.
There's a saying that goes something like this: "When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it first tests their will, strains their muscles and bones, starves their body, and empties their resources."
"If Heaven wants to help you, it will first test you. Only those who emerge from dire straits are invincible. Look at your mediocre brother, and then look at yourself now. Doesn't that make you feel better?"
Qin Yushen's lips curled slightly, and a glint seemed to appear in his eyes. "You're right, I should thank them."
"No need for that," Lin Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head. "I'll still hate it."
These are two different things and should not be confused.
She was just trying to comfort his fragile heart.
Qin Yushen was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting her to say that.
The ancients valued filial piety and brotherly love. After thousands of years of inheritance, the word "filial piety" can be incredibly powerful.
There are no parents who are wrong. No matter how wrong your parents are, they are still the elders who gave you life and raised you. As the younger generation, you should understand and not resent them. This is a sentence that most people say these days.
Qin Yushen said, "Nowadays, most people believe in repaying evil with good."
"Pah! If someone punches me, am I supposed to thank them?"
"I don't believe in that stuff. What I believe in is that if someone makes me unhappy, I'll beat them up."
"Of course, it's reasonable for you to curse back if someone insults you first. But if someone doesn't insult you and you rush up to bite them, that's just crazy and an indiscriminate attack."
Upon hearing the words "repay evil with kindness," Lin Xiaoxiao's anger level skyrocketed, and she unleashed a torrent of fury, nearly jumping out of her seat in her excitement, thankfully secured by her seatbelt.
After finishing, he gave Qin Yushen a suspicious look.
I thought to myself, "I hope he's not just blindly filial."
Otherwise, she would have run away quickly.
Seeing how excited she was, Qin Yushen quickly said, "It was just a casual remark, and you got all worked up. I didn't expect you to have such progressive ideas."
Lin Xiaoxiao was still not entirely at ease.
I asked him a question, "We see your mother all the time. If we have a conflict in the future, whose side will you take?"
It wasn't that she was perceptive; it was just that the man was too good at pretending. He would always go along with her and treat her exceptionally well, but whenever it came to matters involving his parents, he would unconditionally side with them and even accuse his wife of being immature.
It's terrifying to even think about.
She had already weighed the pros and cons of marriage in her mind.
Seeing her darting eyes, Qin Yushen was quite certain it wasn't anything good.
He quickly stated, "Of course I'm on your side, is that even a question?"
“I served in the army here for eight years, and she only invited me to the Zhao family for meals three times. It was at the request of Commander Zhao that she couldn’t refuse.”
"If I were really on her side, I'd be the one who's crazy."
"Don't worry, I'm aware of that."
Lin Xiaoxiao was satisfied after hearing his very sincere statement.
Seeing that her expression had softened slightly, Qin Yushen said, "Repaying evil with kindness is always a misinterpretation."
Lin Xiaoxiao laughed heartily, "Then haven't we been subjected to PUA since we were little?"
Now I understand why later novels say that practicing incomplete cultivation manuals can easily lead to qi deviation and demonic possession.
Qin Yushen: "What does 'PUA' mean?"
Lin Xiaoxiao: "It means brainwashing you."
Qin Yushen: "Oh..."
