Fu Hanzhou sat aside as if she didn't exist, and Fu Hanting and Qin Ying brought out a few bowls of ice bean paste.
Qin Ying naturally handed the extra bowl of ice bean paste in her hand to Fu Hanzhou and smiled at him.
Fu Hanzhou took it, and the coldness in his body seemed to disappear in an instant, and tenderness appeared in his eyes.
Seeing that Gu Ping'an was always looking at her brother and her sister-in-law, Fu Hanting put the bowl in her hand into Gu Ping'an's hand and said with a smile:
"Come and try Wu Ma's cooking."
Gu Ping'an held the bowl tightly, her knuckles turning white. She watched the icy bean paste in the bowl gradually melt. The cold touch still couldn't quench her anger. If she didn't speak up today, she would never have another chance. She put the bowl down heavily, and the splashing soup stained her skirt. A twisted smile appeared at the corner of her mouth:
"Qin Ying, I've been holding back some words for a long time. Don't misunderstand me. I'm really doing this for your own good. I want to remind you that you were previously... "
She deliberately didn't say anything further. Looking at Qin Ying's suddenly changed expression, a twisted sense of pleasure rose in her heart.
"It's all over the place now. You just arrived at the school, and this is the time to establish your image. If all your classmates know about it, how will you survive? Han Zhou is a promising officer. If this kind of thing gets out, it will have a bad impact on him."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire living room instantly dropped to freezing point.
Fu Hanting slammed the bowl onto the table, not caring that the ice bean paste was spilling everywhere. She stood up, her face filled with anger.
"Sister Ping'an, ever since the handkerchief incident, I've felt that you were acting a little strangely, but I've been convincing myself that I was overthinking it.
But today, you first brought up the past rumors about Wei Zhuolan and my sister-in-law. I thought you were hurt by my brother, and maybe you meant well, so I interrupted you on purpose.
Now, you bring up the incident where my sister-in-law was almost raped. Last time you mentioned it in the hospital, I endured it, thinking you might not have meant it, but you bring it up again today, over and over again. This is really too much.
You clearly know how much harm this has done to your sister-in-law, yet you keep exposing her wounds. What do you think of us? I used to respect you and thought you were kind, but now it seems you're deliberately trying to mess up our family. I was so wrong about you!
Fu Hanzhou slowly stood up, the veins on his hands hanging by his side bulging, his face terribly gloomy, a chill emanating from his body, his eyes so cold they almost pierced through Gu Ping'an:
"Ping'an, outsiders have no right to interfere in our family affairs. Qin Ying is my wife, and I know her experience better than anyone else. There's no need for others to make irresponsible remarks. Exposing someone's scars under the banner of doing good for you is just being clever."
Gu Ping'an's eyes turned red, filled with tears, and he looked pitiful and said aggrievedly:
"Hanzhou, Tingting, how could you say that to me? Everyone's been talking about Qin Ying, and I'm really worried it'll have a negative impact on you. It's become such a sensation, and I'm afraid you'll be kept in the dark. I'm worried about you all the rumors, and I just wanted to remind you to take action early. How can I be blamed for that? I really..."
Fu Hanzhou's expression became increasingly cold and impatient, and his voice became even colder:
"Ping An, you saved me, and I'm indebted to you, but you keep bringing this up again and again. I don't know what you mean. I've always tolerated it because you saved me.
I'll say it again today: Qin Ying's life is not someone's place to point fingers at others, and rumors won't spread for no reason. I hope you won't get involved in these rumors anymore. It's not good for Qin Ying, and it makes you seem inconsiderate."
Gu Ping'an bit her lower lip, walked up to Fu Hanzhou, and tried to pull his arm with trembling hands, but when she was about to touch him, he dodged her sideways. A look of grievance flashed in her eyes:
"Hanzhou, I'm really just worried about you..."
Qin Ying didn't want to watch her performance anymore. She looked at her coldly and said word by word:
"Comrade Gu Ping'an, I remember your kindness in saving Han Zhou, but please don't interfere in my life, and don't try to sow discord between me and my family. Next time you want to throw dirty water at someone, I suggest you check if they have a rag in their hand. After all, rumors are always a joke in the face of the truth."
Gu Ping'an's face turned pale and blue, and the smile he had been carefully maintaining completely froze.
They were all hostile to her.
The expression on her face was no longer gentle, and there were still unshed tears in her eyes. She looked at everyone in the room and suddenly sneered with obvious madness, unwillingness and resentment.
"Good, very good."
Her voice trembled a little, and her eyes stared at Qin Ying as if filled with poison.
"You all protect her, but are these rumors spreading throughout the compound really groundless?"
She paused, with a sneer on her lips:
"But it doesn't matter, time will tell."
After saying that, she straightened her back and adjusted the hem of her skirt with forced composure.
She walked towards the door in a slightly flustered manner. When she reached the door, she suddenly turned around and gave Fu Hanzhou a meaningful smile:
“Hanzhou, I hope you don’t regret your choice today.
The moment the door was slammed shut, Gu Ping'an's expression instantly became ferocious.
She looked back at the Fu family's gate, clenched her fists tightly, and dug her nails deep into her palms:
"Qin Ying, let's wait and see. As long as I'm here, I won't let you have an easy time..."
Her words were full of hatred. She might never come to the Fu family again.
Fu Hanzhou didn't believe her and was blinded by Qin Ying, so he let Qin Ying disappear.
For so many years, she stayed by Fu Hanzhou's side, but in the end, all she got in return was his disdain and no sympathy.
What did she have now? Everything was gone. Only her shattered self-esteem, her dirty body, and the ugly and miserable appearance in their eyes were left.
These were all brought to her by Qin Ying, and she would let them return them all one by one.
She had not seen Qin Meihua and her brother come to see her during the days since she was discharged from the hospital. It seemed that she needed to go find them.
Since the last quarrel with Qin Qinghua, Qin Meihua has secretly waited at the door of the art troupe several times, but she has never seen Gu Ping'an.
She couldn't enter the military compound, and she didn't dare to get close to it.
So much so that Qin Qinghua has been in a bad mood these days, and the brother and sister have been quarreling all day long.
Qin Qinghua also hit Qin Meihua once.
After Gu Ping'an came out of Fu Hanzhou's house, he quietly went to Qin Meihua's rental house.
As soon as I approached their rental house, I heard a fierce quarrel between the brother and sister:
"Look, with this little stuff, how can I hang out with those brothers?"
Gu Ping'an tiptoed towards the door of the rental house. Through the wide-open gap, he could see the messy scene inside the house.
Inside the house, Qin Qinghua grabbed the few remaining food coupons on the table and threw them hard on Qin Mei's face.
The voice was grumpy and angry:
"That bitch Gu Ping'an is hiding from us every day. She used us and then threw us aside! If she doesn't show up again, don't blame me for being rude!"
