The two arranged a time to meet, and would talk in detail after meeting in a couple of days.
Lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a muffled rumble of thunder that echoed throughout the night.
The rain poured down.
A fierce wind swept through the area, and torrential rain pounded against the windowpane.
A warm light shone into the dimly lit room.
Startled awake by the lightning, Qin Yue checked the time; it was a little past 2 a.m.
She was completely wide awake and unlocked her phone while leaning against the headboard.
My silent phone received a lot of messages.
Regardless of the other person's intentions, at least the words showed that they cared about her.
There were also some missed calls.
This is clearly not a suitable time to reply to messages.
She put her phone back where it belonged and picked up a book from the bedside table to read.
Feeling sleepy, she placed the bookmark on the page she was looking at, closed the book, put it back on the bedside table, turned off the light, and went to rest.
I thought I would sleep until I naturally woke up, but I don't know how much time passed before I heard voices outside the door.
She frowned slightly and glanced at the time.
It was already 8 a.m.
It seems her aunt called her for dinner.
The rain outside the window hasn't stopped.
Qin Yue pinched the bridge of her nose, then lifted the thin blanket and got up.
After I changed my clothes, I could still hear people speaking in hushed tones at the door.
She walked to the door in her slippers.
He was stunned when he opened the door and saw the person outside.
Standing outside the door were not only Aunt Zhang, the cook at home, but also Qin Xu.
When Zhang Sao saw Qin Yue, it was like seeing a savior.
She said anxiously, "Miss Yueyue, please persuade Young Master Xiaoxu. I don't know when he came back. Look, he's soaked in the rain. He won't go back to his room to change his clothes. He insists on sitting at your door waiting for you to wake up."
Qin Xu's soaked hair clung limply to his forehead, covering half of his eyebrows and eyes, making him look like an abandoned puppy, disheveled and pitiful.
He put on a pitiful look and stared at her expectantly: "Sister."
Qin Yue ignored him and asked Aunt Zhang, "Did my parents go to work?"
Qin's father was going to the company, and Qin's mother owned a beauty salon. She would often go to the salon when she felt she had nothing to do at home.
"No, the master and madam are in the restaurant. They said they're not going out today. Young Master Xu, this..." Aunt Zhang looked troubled.
Qin Yue remained silent: "You can go downstairs first. I'll go down for dinner after I've washed up."
After saying that, he was about to go back to his room.
Qin Xu quickly stopped her, saying cautiously, "Sister, I was drunk yesterday and said some things without thinking, please don't talk to me like that..."
"Bang--"
The door slammed shut in front of him, cutting off his unfinished words.
Qin Xu's eyes dimmed instantly.
Aunt Zhang stood there helplessly, not knowing what to say.
Why did the young lady and young master suddenly have a falling out?
Qin Xu waved his hand weakly at her: "You go down first, I'll wait for my sister to go down for dinner together."
Aunt Zhang didn't know what else to say.
When Qin Yue came out again, Qin Xu immediately followed her.
He smiled apologetically: "Sister, I really know I was wrong. I was drunk at the time and my mind wasn't clear. When I saw those comments, I was momentarily blinded and said things I shouldn't have."
"Look at me, how could I be so awful? How could I doubt your kindness to me? Please forgive me, just for the sake of me rushing back overnight to apologize. Otherwise, you can scold me a few times, hit me a few times, whatever."
Qin Yue treated him like he was invisible.
As he descended the last step, seeing that she still ignored him, Qin Xu tried to pull her aside to explain, but she immediately shook off his arm.
Qin Xu was surprised by her strong reaction, and his face stiffened.
He was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what was happening and quickly followed her to the restaurant.
Mr. and Mrs. Qin had already heard about it from Aunt Zhang, so they weren't surprised to see Qin Xu.
Thinking about how much Qin Yue cried yesterday because of him, she didn't want to speak to him at this moment.
However, seeing that he was soaked to the bone and hadn't had time to change his clothes, Qin's mother couldn't help but say, "Xiao Xu, go change your clothes before you come to eat, don't catch a cold."
"It's okay, I'll change after I finish eating." Qin Xu sat down next to Qin Yue.
Not knowing what to say at the dinner table, I could only diligently bring the juice to her.
Qin Yue completely lost her appetite and put her chopsticks on the table: "Mom and Dad, I can't eat. You two eat."
"sister--"
Hearing him call her "sister" made her uncomfortable.
It seems like today I'll have to have a falling out with my parents.
"Enough! Qin Xu, I already told you yesterday that you don't need to treat me as your sister anymore, and I don't have a brother like you. We have no relation whatsoever. Who are you trying to impress with this act?"
Everyone present was stunned.
Qin Xu never expected that she could say such resolute words in front of her parents.
Only then did the two elders realize that she wasn't just being stubborn.
Then Qin's mother tried to smooth things over.
If Qin Xu says something unpleasant, you should talk it out and scold him if necessary, but you can't just sever ties with him.
However, after hearing what Qin Yue said next, she couldn't utter a single word of advice.
"Mom and Dad, there are some things I didn't want to say, but I have to say them now. I treat him like my own brother, but what about him?"
On the show, his words and actions repeatedly caused people to misunderstand our relationship. In order to dissuade others from pursuing me, he even fabricated some unfounded love stories about me.
When I'm having dinner with friends, he calls to pry into everything. When I meet with artists from his company, he acts like I've wronged him. His constant checking up on me is suffocating.
I've told you some things before. I've given him countless chances, and every time he said he'd change, he never took it to heart.
This is only what I know. What about what I don't know? I'm terrified! It's not that I don't want this younger brother, it's that I'm afraid to.
Qin Xu, you clearly know more about what's going on online than anyone else, yet you still managed to say that I sacrificed your happiness to keep my ex-girlfriend, who was three months pregnant.
Do you think the online insults against me aren't enough? Do you know that if these words get out, I'll be ruined by you? Your supposedly affectionate words are just driving me to my doom!
Both of Qin's father and mother fell silent.
They knew some of the things Qin Yue had said, and at the time they just thought Qin Xu was immature. But now they knew that it wasn't immaturity, but rather that he was taking advantage of Qin Yue's doting on him and scheming against her time and time again.
Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, doesn't he know how terrifying public opinion can be?
Or do you know, but only think of yourself?
You don't know the pain until the knife pierces your own skin.
He thought himself innocent and pitiful, and that Yueyue would be the only one to bear the consequences of his ignorant actions.
They are selfish people too.
Qin Yue chose not to have this younger brother.
Their only choice will be their biological daughter.
...
Uncle Chen saw Qin Xu off as he left.
After dealing with Qin Xu, who had come to her doorstep, Qin Yue was in a good mood.
That evening, different opinions emerged online regarding the matter between Jiang Qingtang and Qi Jingchen.
