Everyone subconsciously followed Pei Yongshou's hand and looked over, and then saw the two characters "Qin Sheng" neatly printed on the household registration book.
Clearly, what Pei Yongshou said was true; Qin Sheng really hadn't severed her adoption relationship with the Pei family.
The expressions on everyone's faces immediately became subtle.
Tsk.
While it's not common for wealthy families to occasionally recognize or adopt one or two children, it does happen. However, they've never heard of any family holding a public banquet before the issues have been properly resolved.
The way the Qin family handled this matter is truly unique.
Now, everyone couldn't help but feel a bit like they were watching a good show.
Qin Sheng glanced at the household registration book, but only casually, before turning her gaze back to Pei Yongshou and Qin Xuehua, and said indifferently, "Are you that reluctant to part with me?"
Pei Yongshou gave Qin Xuehua a wink, and Qin Xuehua immediately took out a handkerchief she had prepared beforehand, wiping her eyes and crying at the same time.
"Sheng Sheng, you were raised by your mother. From childhood to adulthood, you've spent more time by my side than your younger sister. Although we're not blood-related, you're closer than blood-related. Of course, I can't bear to part with you!"
"Mom explained what happened last time. It was just an accident, I didn't really mean to hit you! So much time has passed, even if you're still angry, you should have calmed down by now. Mom really didn't mean it!"
Hearing him call her "Dad" and "Mom" repeatedly, Qin Sheng felt a restlessness that hadn't been there for a while surge up again.
"Shut up," she said in a low voice, her impatience evident.
Meeting Pei Yongshou and Qin Xuehua's stunned gazes, her expression became even more indifferent.
“My parents are here. What are you?” Qin Sheng looked at them, her cold, aloof eyes filled with frost. “What are you?”
The two women froze for a moment, but a look of joy flashed across their faces. Qin Xuehua continued wiping her eyes with her handkerchief: "Waaah, Mom... I know I can't compare to Madam Qin, and Yongshou can't compare to Master Qin either. It's understandable that you chose them, I can understand, I really can understand, but, but..."
Qin Xuehua's eyes were red and she choked up, her sincere expression moving many people, and even the way they looked at Qin Sheng changed.
Is this a case of someone who married into a wealthy family and then immediately turned their back on them?
While it's understandable, it's still a bit too cold-hearted. It seems this young lady from the Qin family isn't someone to be trifled with...
Just then, the girl's cool voice rang out again: "You even brought out onion juice, you really can't bear to part with me."
Qin Xuehua paused, her eyes flickered, and she immediately said, "What onion juice? What nonsense are you talking about?!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than a hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere and snatched the handkerchief from her hand, followed by a glass of cold water being poured over her head.
Gu Yueming twirled the empty water glass on her fingertip in a cool little circle. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a crisp "smack"—the water glass flew out of her hand, smashed on the ground, and shattered into countless pieces.
Everyone: "..."
It's just that awkwardness at points one, two, three, four, five, and six.
Qin Zheng and Qin Shi'an, father and son, both twitched their lips, and even Qin Sheng couldn't help but look away.
It's really hard to watch.
Gu Yueming flicked her index finger, which was still raised in mid-air, her expression stiffened for a moment, and then she casually withdrew it.
She raised her chin and nodded at Qin Xuehua: "You're so good at crying, come on, try crying again."
Qin Xuehua: "..."
I really want to curse!
Is there not a single person in this family who can act according to common sense?!
Qin Xuehua pouted six times and blinked twenty-one times, finally realizing she couldn't cry anymore. She simply put her hands on her hips and said, "You think I'll cry if you give in to me? Don't I have any dignity?"
Pei Yongshou: "..."
Everyone: "..."
The awkwardness of enlarging the capital letters even further!
Pei Yongshou's temples throbbed with anger, but he quickly composed himself. He tapped the table and said in a deep voice, "Second Master Qin, don't you think it's more important to give me an explanation first?"
Qin Zheng turned his gaze away and said calmly, "What explanation do you want?"
Pei Yongshou glanced in Qin Sheng's direction and smiled, "I don't want anything from your Qin family. I only have one request: let Sheng Sheng," he pointed at Qin Sheng, "come back to the Pei family with me."
Before Qin Zheng could speak, Pei Yongshou continued, "President Qin may not be aware that even if the adoptive parents are the biological parents of the adoptee, they have no right to take the child back without the adoptive parents' consent. Now that I do not agree to let Sheng Sheng return to the Qin family, she must come back with me!"
Qin Zheng's face turned cold, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. Everyone held their breath and dared not breathe too loudly.
"Mr. Pei may not be aware that this regulation is based on the premise that the adoptive parents have fulfilled their adoption obligations and there is no abuse, abandonment or other acts that infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of the minor adopted children."
Just then, a clear and resonant voice rang out from the crowd, and a man in a suit wearing glasses stepped forward.
Guan Shaoning first nodded in the direction of Fu Jingheng and the other person, then looked at Pei Yongshou again and continued, "As far as I know, Ms. Qin has committed various acts that violated Ms. Qin's legal rights, such as violence and coercion. According to the provisions of the Adoption Law, Mr. Qin, as the person who gave Ms. Qin up for adoption, has the right to request the termination of the adoption relationship between you and Ms. Qin."
He paused, then looked at Qin Zheng: "Mr. Qin, I've heard people mention before that you've sent people to the Pei family multiple times to ask them to cooperate with the relevant procedures, but the Pei family has consistently refused to cooperate, is that right?"
