Chapter 161 The Engagement Is Not Yours



Xu Jinshu frowned deeply, extremely disappointed at Qin Meihua's unrepentant attitude.

"Meihua, you've been at the Fu family for nearly two months. During this time, we've treated you well, providing you with good food and drink. How could you do something like this to discredit the Fu family? Do you have a clear conscience?"

She didn't expect Qin Meihua to be such an ungrateful person.

Listening to Xu Jinshu's words, Qin Ying felt that she was completely talking to a cow. How could someone like Qin Meihua have a conscience?

Seeing her deep hatred for Qin Meihua, Qin Ying couldn't help but ask:

"Sister, you are living in the Fu family now. When you did this, did you not think about the consequences? Even if you achieved your goal today, how much higher would the Jin family think of you?"

Qin Meihua's face was still calm and indifferent. She looked at Qin Ying with disdain and said coldly:

"I don't need them to look up to me. I just need to achieve my goal. Qin Ying, you don't have to lecture me here. I married into the city and it's easy for me to talk. Can't I marry into a good family?"

Tsk!

Saying one more word to her would be a waste of life. Qin Ying shook her head helplessly and said with a sneer:

"Yes, what kind of family would be worthy of such despicable means!"

"you!"

Qin Meihua was speechless after being ridiculed by Qin Ying. The anger in her eyes almost burst out.

There was a "bang" sound, and at the same time as Qin Meihua's voice, there was a sound of someone hitting the armrest of the sofa.

Their words were interrupted, and they all looked over. Fu Qixun was sitting there with a stern face and some anger in his eyes. He looked at Qin Meihua with a fierce gaze, and his aura was overwhelming:

"The Fu family's reputation and prestige are built with blood and sweat. We cannot tolerate anyone trampling on them. Please be mindful of the occasion and measure of your words."

His words were brief but very meaningful, and the room suddenly fell into silence.

His face, which usually showed no emotion, now showed obvious anger. It must be that Qin Meihua's worldview had refreshed his cognition.

After such an incident, you can truly see a person's true face.

I didn’t expect that the qualities of children from the same family are so different.

Fu Hanzhou was a little surprised that Fu Qixun could get angry over trivial family matters. He looked at Qin Meihua expressionlessly, his voice indifferent but with a hint of annoyance:

"Comrade Qin Meihua, I've already said everything I needed to say at the celebration banquet today. From the very beginning, you've been harboring thoughts that shouldn't have been there, and now it's become a huge uproar that can't be resolved. Tomorrow morning, you'll pack up and go home. The Fu family won't keep you any longer."

After that, he paused, narrowed his eyes, and said in a calm yet somewhat impatient tone:

"Also, leave the jade pendant. The engagement is not yours, and it never was."

Qin Meihua's body stiffened. What did this mean? Did they know everything?

So, after she came back, she was only criticized for seducing Jin Wenge, and did not mention Qin Ying's life experience at all.

It seems they have all guessed it.

She returned to the room, took out the jade pendant, put it on the table awkwardly, and glanced at Qin Ying coldly.

Just wait and see how long you can be happy.

Xu Jinshu picked up the jade pendant and rubbed it for a long time. He thought about how he had asked someone to send the jade pendant to someone else. He thought that he had become a good relative, but who knew that so many unknown things would happen.

She returned to the room and took out another jade pendant. The two jade pendants formed an oval dragon and phoenix pattern.

She pulled Qin Ying to sit beside her and said slowly:

"Yingying, these two jade pendants are family heirlooms. One has a dragon pattern, and the other has a phoenix pattern. They represent good fortune and a long-lasting marriage. I can give them to you now."

Qin Ying picked up the jade pendant and felt warm to the touch. It turned out to be two pieces of warm jade.

Seeing the excellent quality and fine carving, she took a look at it, then put the jade pendant down and pushed it in front of Xu Jinshu:

"Mom, these two jade pendants look very valuable. You should keep them. I have nowhere to put them."

"Value is secondary. The most important thing is that it's a keepsake. This jade pendant was specifically entrusted to your father. We're destined to be together, so after all these twists and turns, it finally returned to you. You and Han Zhou are destined to be together, so it's only right for you to keep it. Don't refuse! This is also my blessing to you."

Xu Jinshu solemnly placed the two jade pendants in her hands, his heart and eyes full of love.

Qin Ying did not refuse anymore. Looking at the jade pendant in her hand, she felt infinite emotion in her heart.

Destined fate?

You don’t even know who I am!

Just take it!

After Qin Meihua gave the jade pendant out, she returned to her room and never came out again.

Fu Qixun told Fu Hanzhou to arrange the rest of the matters and then returned to the study to handle official business.

Only Xu Jinshu and the other three were left in the living room. They knew that Qin Ying and Fu Hanzhou came back late because they had gone to the Public Security Bureau.

Xu Jinshu hurriedly asked about the handkerchief.

After listening to Fu Hanzhou's story, Xu Jinshu's face became solemn, and he began to wonder whether Gu Ping'an had an identical handkerchief.

Gu Ping'an grew up under her care. Although she had a bit of a spoiled brat temper, she was not a bad person. Coincidentally, she had the handkerchief and also knew Qin Ying.

It was obvious that the crime was committed by an acquaintance, but the conspirator did not identify Gu Ping'an.

"What do the comrades from the Public Security Bureau say?"

"The matter needs further investigation!"

Fu Hanzhou seemed to be thinking about something and spoke slowly.

Xu Jinshu nodded, his expression serious:

"I hope the Public Security Bureau can solve the case as soon as possible and find out who is so vicious."

Fu Hanting was shocked when she heard them talking about this.

She only found out today that such a thing happened when Qin Ying was taking the college entrance examination.

What was even more unexpected was that Gu Ping'an actually had an identical handkerchief...

Although what happened between her and Jin Wenge at the banquet ended up in nothing, she always felt something was wrong.

Gu Ping'an's father, Gu Zhenhua, is the head of the army and has a prominent family background. Moreover, she is arrogant and would never be interested in Jin Wenge.

No matter how bold Jin Wenge is, he would never say such words in that kind of situation. Doesn't Gu Zhenhua have any respect?

Unless there is really something going on between the two of them, Jin Wenge would not be able to speak it out without fear.

Moreover, regarding the handkerchief incident... As a woman's intuition, she knew how much Gu Ping'an loved her brother. If she wanted to marry her brother, it was not impossible for her to do something to harm Qin Ying.

But, is Gu Ping'an really so cruel?

Cheating in the college entrance examination is no small matter. It will ruin a person's future and reputation.

Gu Ping'an and her brother are childhood sweethearts, but from childhood to adulthood, she has always followed them around and played with them.

She really didn't want to assume the worst of her.

For some reason, she felt that everyone around her had become complicated overnight.

She sighed, finding it hard to accept, and went back to her room to sleep.
