Chapter 5543: Chapter 5543: Outraged
Qin Xiu had been trying to let go, but it was a grueling process.
Waiting was filled with hope, while giving up was filled with despair. He endured within despair, crawling forward, but his own mother... kept insisting that he understand her.
"Mom, can’t you try to understand your son?" Qin Xiu whispered with his eyes closed, his voice very soft, "Right now, it’s not her fault, it’s your son’s fault."
"Mom, the fault lies with me, you shouldn’t blame her for that. It’s too unfair to her. Madam Li and Miss Du, people like them, you think highly of, so why look down on Ye Jian?"
"I don’t want to worry you, nor do I want to put Ye Jian in a difficult position. Don’t worry, I won’t meet her alone, nor will I speak to her more than necessary."
"It’s getting late, I should go now."
Madam Qin became anxious upon hearing this, "Xiu, Mom knows you’re a good kid and won’t seek her out. But I don’t trust her! I’m afraid she’ll take the initiative to find you, cling to you relentlessly, do you understand?"
How could this child be so naive?
Qin Xiu was on the verge of laughter as he prepared to leave, "Mom, have you seen her seeking me out? If she ever did take the initiative to find me once, Mom, I tell you the truth, I would never let go today!"
It was precisely because she had never sought him out, never given him any expectation or hope, that he had no way to get closer to her.
Upon hearing this, not only did Madam Qin not feel reassured, but she grew more frantic. What should she do now? What should she do!
At such a young age, how could her schemes be so sophisticated! To have ensnared Xiu so thoroughly!
This notion of not seeking out Xiu was clearly playing hard-to-get! Only men like Xiu, who had never been in love or interacted much with girls, would be fooled!
Wanting to say more, Qin Xiu no longer wished to listen and left the room directly.
As the family members went to pay New Year’s respects to Old Man Xia, leaving Madam Qin feeling a bit uneasy, Old Master Qin, knowing his spouse wanted to speak to the daughter-in-law, allowed Qin Yi to help him back to his room to rest.
Qin Yi, in fact, wanted to stay and listen. He had a feeling that whatever the Old Madam was about to say, it certainly had to do with Qin Xiu.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, Qin Xiu, currently the most accomplished of the younger generation in the Qin family, was also involved in some indistinct, inexplicable matters. He really wanted to hear!
Old Master Qin, with his sharp eyes, could see his grandson’s restlessness and threatened in a stern voice, "Want to stay and listen? Has it been too long since you’ve experienced the taste of a beating?"
With one sentence, Qin Yi’s curiosity was extinguished. He obediently assisted his grandfather back to the room and was commandeered to read the newspaper, forbidden from eavesdropping.
Qin Yi: "... So frustrated I could break."
Meanwhile, Madam Qin standing outside glanced at Old Madam’s expression, feeling somewhat regretful she hadn’t insisted on going to the Fu family’s home with the others.
"Sister-in-law, have a seat, I’ll go to the kitchen." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family sensed that the Old Madam had something she needed to discuss with her sister-in-law alone.
As for what that was, it would be somewhat inappropriate for her to stay.
Her sister-in-law was always strong-willed, and her presence would surely displease her. It was better to take the initiative to excuse herself.
Madam Qin knew the eldest sister-in-law was saving her face, and she couldn’t help but respond with a grateful smile. She fully appreciated the kindness of her sister-in-law.
"Sit down, Dingkang’s daughter-in-law." The old master spoke up, her expression somewhat stern.
Sitting on the sofa, Madam Qin’s heart raced with unease, yet she also felt she hadn’t been wrong. However, there was also a sense of impropriety; after all, it was the first day of the New Year, and a visitor should be treated as a guest. Regardless of the girl’s character, for her to barge in like this and start trouble, it was very impolite.
