After dinner, Qin Meihua disappeared. The Fu family was busy and no one noticed her.
Fu Hanzhou's guard Xiaocheng came to report to him. After they finished talking in the study, Xiaocheng left again.
When no one was in the living room, Fu Hanzhou said to Qin Ying:
"I sent someone to watch Qin Meihua. In the past two days, she has been very close to Gu Ping'an and has not approached anyone else. She has not made any special moves, except..."
He paused here, with a complicated expression on his face.
Qin Ying didn't expect that he would actually send someone to follow Qin Meihua. Seeing that he didn't say anything further, she asked doubtfully:
"Except what?"
"I went to the reed marshes with Jin Wenge several times."
Reed marsh?
Qin Ying looked at him in surprise. What did he mean? When this question came to her mind, she reacted instantly.
Her face suddenly became a little embarrassed. This Qin Meihua is really...
Although they have a bad relationship, they are sisters from the same mother. It is shameful for her to do such a thing.
She stood up and was about to go back to her room, but her hand was held by Fu Hanzhou:
"Are you still angry? I'd be heartbroken if you got really angry."
"No!"
She lowered her eyebrows and looked cold.
"Not yet? It's written all over your face!"
Fu Hanzhou held her hand tightly, his tone of voice flattering and coaxing.
"The Fu family has always chosen you as their chosen daughter-in-law. If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have urged me to get married again and again. Ping An and I are just friends who grew up together. Otherwise, do you think a marriage contract can tie me down?"
Qin Ying shook her arms but didn't shake him off. She let him pull her and said unhappily:
"I'm not stupid. You looked so lost yesterday. I'd be surprised if I believed you!"
Fu Hanzhou was somewhat helpless and continued:
"I'm not disappointed, but... it's hard to accept that I didn't know people well enough. You're the only one I've recognized. Gu Ping'an is just a passing stranger to me. He wasn't in the past, and he won't be in the future. I apologize. It's because I didn't do well enough that I misunderstood you and made you feel insecure. I won't do that again in the future, I promise."
Qin Ying pursed her lips, and her depressed mood eased a little. It was rare for Fu Hanzhou to say such emotional words.
She frowned and looked at him:
"I...after the banquet ends tomorrow, I'll let my sister go. It's really a bad influence!"
Fu Hanzhou was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashing, and he immediately understood what she meant:
"It has nothing to do with you. She is who she is, and you are you. You don't need to add unnecessary emotional pressure to yourself just because of her character problems."
"But others wouldn't think so. She... is just like that in the village!"
After Qin Ying finished speaking, she looked into Fu Hanzhou's eyes seriously.
When their eyes met, Fu Hanzhou's expression froze for a moment, as if he realized something.
"Everyone thinks there's something wrong with my lifestyle, but the real problem is her! Can you believe it?"
"Your parents said on the phone... Qin Meihua is dignified and generous, kind and intelligent, and knows how to act appropriately... Why?"
Fu Hanzhou narrowed his eyes. What did Qin's parents want to do?
Qin Ying knew that Fu Hanzhou believed her words and shook her head in confusion:
"My parents... don't like me. They dote on my older sister and my second brother. You know, I never went to school. It's not because I didn't like it, but because my parents were afraid of spending money. Plus, if I went to school, there would be no one to do the work. I've been learning to work since I can remember, and gradually, I've been doing all the chores around the house. I've been married to you for two years, and I haven't gone to the countryside to visit my parents because..."
Two knocks on the door interrupted their conversation.
They both turned their heads and saw Gu Ping'an standing by the door, looking at them with a smile.
"Hanzhou!"
She walked briskly and smiled gently and generously, without showing any embarrassment or unhappiness at all.
Qin Ying was a little annoyed. How could he still have the nerve to come?
Fu Hanzhou glanced at Gu Ping'an expressionlessly, then stood up and said to Qin Ying:
"There are still some details I need to double-check regarding tomorrow's banquet. Let's talk about it tonight."
He rubbed Qin Ying's face affectionately, without even looking at Ping An, and went straight to the study.
Gu Ping'an was originally walking towards them, but when he saw Fu Hanzhou stand up, he turned around and walked in front of him, blocking the stairs, still looking weak:
"Hanzhou, I know that what happened yesterday caused you to misunderstand me. I didn't sleep well all night. I went back and deeply reflected on my behavior. Maybe I used the wrong method and caused others to misunderstand. I promise that I will never do this again."
"There's nothing to explain about what everyone sees."
Fu Hanzhou was blocked by her and had to stop. He still didn't look at her and his tone was cold and hard.
Gu Ping'an was a little anxious. His tone was so cold that she couldn't stand it.
"Hanzhou, I was really impulsive yesterday! Can you forgive me?"
Seeing that Fu Hanzhou remained silent, Gu Pingan rolled his eyes and continued:
"By the way, we're having a celebration banquet tomorrow. Let me help you. I'm familiar with everyone in the hospital and can help you with some of the work."
Qin Ying frowned and looked at Gu Ping'an. She really didn't take her seriously, and she didn't know what position she was standing on when she said these words.
"No, thank you for your trouble. Everything is ready."
After Fu Hanzhou finished speaking, he raised his arm slightly and was about to go upstairs.
But then Gu Ping'an screamed "Ah" and his body fell backwards uncontrollably.
