"I'm sorry, Xinghe, this is just how my family is as you see it. Please don't take my parents' attitude to heart."
"How could that be? It was just an act all along. But, I should say something I shouldn't: Sister Xueying, I really hope you can get away from parents like that as soon as possible."
"Well, actually I'm already working, and I'll probably stay at the university."
"That's already very good. Being a teacher at Kyoto University is a very respectable job, but you're reluctant to give it up, aren't you?"
"They are still my parents. We'll see. Maybe I'll come to my senses someday."
Qin Fei and his mother were overjoyed when they arrived at the market. Everyone there was a familiar face, and they would boast to anyone they met.
"Our daughter, really, she brought home a son-in-law, and he drives... what was that car again?"
"Mom, it's a Bentley."
"Yes, yes, I don't know either. What kind of Bentley is it? I heard it's worth millions."
"Congratulations, Huichao, you've found a good son-in-law."
"That's right, this girl has finally lived up to expectations after all these years."
"Huichao, what are you saying? Xueying is the only one from our area who got into Kyoto University. I heard she even went abroad to compete and won an international award. How about we do her a favor?"
"What's the use? Girls will get married eventually, so it's better to marry into a good family. Anyway, I'm going back to cook."
"Alright, I'm not talking to you guys anymore."
Seeing Qin's mother's smug look, many people cursed behind her, looking down on them in their hearts. How could they treat their daughter like that?
At lunchtime, Qin's father brought out his treasured wine, which he had kept for many years.
"Xiao Wang, let's have some drinks at noon today and try your aunt's cooking. Your aunt cooks very well."
"Uncle, I have something to do this afternoon, so I'll have to go first and won't be drinking."
"A little drink won't hurt. Let's stay a little later this afternoon."
"Dad, Xinghe said he has something to do this afternoon."
"Look how protective our daughter is of Xinghe now. If Xinghe doesn't want to drink, then so be it. You can drink it yourself," Qin's mother said from the side.
Wang Xinghe's words were now like a royal decree to her.
"Alright then, I'll drink it."
"Dad, can I have some too? I want to try this wine."
"Okay, Xiaofei, today is a good day, you should have a drink too."
After lunch, Wang Xinghe stayed for a while before preparing to leave.
"Xueying, go and see Xinghe off quickly."
"I know."
The two came downstairs.
"Thank you for today, drive carefully."
"Okay, Sister Xueying, I'll be going now."
"good."
After seeing Wang Xinghe off, Qin Xueying returned home and saw her parents sitting on the sofa.
Qin Xueying glanced at it and was about to go back inside.
"Xueying, come here for a second."
"Mom, is there something you need? I want to take a nap now."
"Lunch break? What break? What exactly is your relationship with Xinghe?" Qin's father slammed his hand on the table and said.
"He's my boyfriend."
"Do you think your parents are blind? You two are definitely not boyfriend and girlfriend."
“Yes, Dad, I’ve brought him back.”
"You brought him home, but he's not your boyfriend. There's been no physical contact between you two. You didn't even interact during meals. How can you say you're in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?"
"Mom and Dad, if you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
"Xueying, your dad and I have already discussed it. It's okay if Xinghe isn't your boyfriend. Since he was willing to come back with you and even bought such an expensive gift, it proves that he also has feelings for you. Be more proactive. It's easy for a woman to pursue a man."
"Mom and Dad, yes, I'm not with him. He came back with me to help me. Are you satisfied now?"
"You! Unfilial daughter, do you believe I'll slap you?!"
"Go ahead and kill me! You gave me this life, so I'll just give it back to you and I won't owe you anything anymore!"
Do you think I wouldn't dare?
Having drunk a little alcohol, Qin's father actually went back into the house to get his belt.
Seeing this, Qin's mother quickly went over to stop her.
"Dad, what are you doing? Calm down! We still need Xueying to climb to Xinghe. What if you hurt her and disfigure her?"
Upon hearing this, Qin's father turned red with anger, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it.
"I'll let you off this time, since you're still somewhat useful."
"Incomprehensible!"
Qin Xueying left those words and went back to her room.
Locked in her room, Qin Xueying's tears streamed down her cheeks, but she held back her sobs.
Wang Xinghe had just left the residential area and returned to the city when he received a message from Liu Qingmeng.
"Baby, are you back yet?"
"I'm back. Today I met some truly exceptional parents. They were absolutely awful."
After Wang Xinghe replied to the message, Liu Qingmeng immediately called.
"Baby, how did it go? Was it alright?"
"It went quite smoothly. I made up an excuse and left."
"Then you didn't have any physical contact with her, right?"
"No, I promise, not at all."
"That's good. You're still keeping to your male virtues. But won't Xueying's parents notice something's amiss?"
"I don't think so. You have no idea how they treated me after they found out I was very rich. They treated my words like holy decrees."
"Anyway, I've helped her once, and there won't be a next time."
"I know, Mengmeng, this time it's also because Sister Xueying's situation is urgent."
So what are your plans now?
"It's ending early today, let's go home."
"Go home? You finally got out early, and now you want to go home and be 'imprisoned' again?"
"Mengmeng, don't even mention it. My fourth sister treats me like a human being. She's been exploiting me, even more like a slave owner. These past few days, I've either been practicing singing or on my way to practice singing. I even dream about singing."
"So, don't go back yet, come find me."
"To come find you?"
"Yes, let's go out for a walk."
"Sure, I'll come right now."
"Okay, hehe, baby, I'm so glad to see you again!"
"You're so happy."
"Of course!"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Qingmeng's face lit up with joy.
"Oh my, sister, what's the good news? You seem so happy."
"It's nothing." Liu Qingmeng quickly wiped the smile off her face when she saw Liu Qinghuan arrive.
"Tch, it must be related to Brother Xinghe. Is Brother Xinghe coming to find you?"
"Yes, alright then."
"Sister, you're in big trouble! You've fallen in love!"
"You should focus on your studies. What score did you get on the final exam? Where did you rank?"
"Sister, it's not out yet, so I don't know anything."
"If you regress this time, how will you face your brother Xinghe, who has been so dedicated to tutoring you?"
