He looked at Xu Jinshu, the inquiry in his eyes obvious.
Xu Jinshu continued:
"Before Qin Ying became the top scorer in the college entrance examination... well, something else happened... she was ruined by rumors and fired by the publishing house. I thought of holding a celebration banquet. Firstly, it's a big happy event, worth celebrating. Secondly, it's a good opportunity to let others know that our Fu family's daughter-in-law is no ordinary person, so that those who spread rumors will shut up."
Fu Qixun nodded and thought as he listened, then listened carefully to the reasons and consequences of Qin Ying's dismissal from the publishing house. After a while, he made the final decision:
"Then do it! This celebration banquet should be held! This is the honor Yingying deserves, and it is also a major event for our Fu family."
Qin Meihua was secretly pleased with herself. Xu Jinshu's words were indeed useful, and her hints came at the right time. The celebration banquet was thus decided.
It seems that my plan has hope.
She looked at Fu Qixun and said hesitantly and sincerely:
"Uncle Fu, since you've decided to hold a celebration banquet, can I attend my sister's celebration banquet before leaving? I really want to witness this glorious moment for my sister."
Fu Qixun always felt that Qin Meihua was being deliberate, and he couldn't tell what was wrong, but he nodded.
"We still have to prepare for the celebration banquet. If you want to stay a few days longer, then you can stay a few days longer. You can also leave after you attend the celebration banquet."
"That's great, thank you Uncle Fu, the celebration party will definitely be lively!"
Qin Meihua was laughing and talking happily, which seemed a little out of place with the silence of the others.
Fu Hanting looked at Qin Meihua strangely and asked doubtfully:
"Qin Meihua, on the day the Education Bureau delivered the congratulatory message to my sister-in-law, you were still suspecting her grades were dishonorable. Why are you so eager to attend her celebration party now? Shouldn't you be utterly disdainful? Are you admitting that her grades were based on her own merit?"
Being questioned rudely by Fu Hanting, Qin Meihua felt uncomfortable for a moment, but she forced herself to laugh dryly and said:
"Tingting, look at what you said. How could I not admit it? I have such an outstanding sister. She is the glory of our family. I am so happy."
Seeing her incoherent and refusing to admit what she had said, Fu Hanting rolled her eyes, snorted loudly, and ignored her.
What a hypocrite!
Qin Ying looked at Qin Meihua silently. Her attitude change was too obvious. If her guess was correct, she would use the celebration banquet to cause trouble.
Could it be that she was jealous and deliberately made the Fu family embarrass themselves at the celebration banquet?
She would never allow it.
The Fu family held a celebration banquet for her with good intentions, and Qin Meihua must not mess it up.
A selfish and vicious person like her can do anything and will never give face to anyone.
After all the young people went back to their rooms, only Fu Qixun and Xu Jinshu were left in the living room.
Thinking of what happened in the past month, Fu Qixun was very emotional. He gently held Xu Jinshu's hand and softened his voice:
"I haven't seen you for a month. I'm so grateful to you for supporting the family."
Xu Jinshu gave him a reproachful look:
"What are you talking about? This is my home too. You have to be careful in the army. You don't have to worry about things at home."
Fu Qixun nodded, his eyes full of gratitude. Suddenly, he thought of something else and said excitedly:
"I forgot to tell you that when I came back this time, my old friend Jing Changcheng from the battlefield was transferred to the Yancheng Military Region. Do you still remember him?"
"Jing Changcheng?"
Xu Jinshu thought for a moment, a smile of emotion spreading across his face:
"Of course I remember him. How could I forget him? A friend of life and death, one who will never forget his memory. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been able to connect with Brother Qin so quickly."
Fu Qixun nodded, as if thinking back to the war-torn years:
"Yes, time flies by so fast. We are all getting old."
"Old Fu, since we're having a celebration banquet, why not have Jing Changcheng come and join us in the fun? I haven't seen him in so long, I wonder what he's become."
"Same old, same old. You'll understand when you see it."
Fu Qixun clapped her hands happily. Thinking that these people were friends he had grown with since his youth, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
"If Brother Qin were here too, I think the scene would be even more lively!"
Thinking of Qin Ying's father, who had done a favor for their family, Xu Jinshu always had a question in her heart. Ever since Qin Ying became the top scorer in the college entrance examination, this question made her even more confused.
Now that Fu Qixun is back, she feels the need to speak out.
"Old Fu, do you find it strange that when the Qin Ying sisters came, Brother Qin wanted us to exchange marriages. Do you remember what they said?
The various negative views on Qin Ying could even be said to be...unbearable to hear, but now, do you think Qin Ying is such a person?
Let’s start with the fact that she is illiterate. Even if she was able to get the job of bilingual proofreader in the beginning and taught herself foreign languages, can the top scorer in the college entrance examination teach herself?
This is what I've always been puzzled about. If Qin Ying's illiteracy is false, how much truth can there be in the other stories? The key question is, why did Brother Qin want to change the engagement to Qin Meihua? Qin Ying is so outstanding!
I always feel that the Qin family is hiding something. Why is Qin Ying, such an outstanding child, not favored by them?"
Xu Jinshu's words made Fu Qixun fall into deep thought. When she mentioned this, he also felt that there was something weird about it.
He thought for a moment and said:
"Do you think he might be overly partial to Qin Meihua, so..."
Fu Qixun couldn't continue because this reason was a bit far-fetched. Even if he favored his eldest daughter, it didn't necessarily mean he had to tarnish the reputation of his younger daughter.
