Shi Jingfang turned her head to look at her daughter. "Haven’t you noticed that Yunyi looks a bit like your aunt?" Ye Wenhui thought for a moment. "You’re right! Now that you mention it, I knew there was a sense of familiarity when I first saw Yunyi. If my aunt pulled back her bangs, she really would resemble Yunyi somewhat. But Yunyi is much prettier than my aunt, especially her skin. It’s enough to make me die of envy; not a single pore in sight up close." After she finished speaking, she added, "Just like my great-aunt. Both are that type of fair-skinned beauty." Her words plunged Shi Jingfang even deeper into thought. Ye Wenhui noticed her mother hadn’t responded for a while. "Mom, what are you thinking about?" she asked. Shi Jingfang shook her head. "Nothing, just some old memories coming to mind." She felt somewhat alarmed. Her daughter’s casual remark had stirred a thought about a serious matter. However, because her daughter was too young, she dared not voice her own guesses easily. Her mind was in chaos now. 「Qin Family in Beijing」 Qin Lijuan was glaring angrily at her eldest son, Wu Bingjie. "I’m telling you, I don’t agree with this!" Wu Bingjie was somewhat exasperated. "Mom, I’ve already decided. This isn’t up for discussion." Updates are released by novel-fire.ɴet Qin Lijuan was nearly driven mad with frustration. "Out of everyone, why did you have to fancy her?" Wu Bingjie, irritated, stood up. "What’s wrong with her? Tell me one, two, three reasons. You don’t say anything else, just that you disagree. Mom, what’s the point?" He looked at his grandfather, who was sitting at the head of the table. "Grandfather, I’ve made my decision. Please persuade Mom for me. I’ve got things to do; I’m leaving first." After speaking, he turned and walked out. Qin Lijuan shouted in anger, "Bingjie! Wu Bingjie, you stop right there!" But the more she yelled, the faster Wu Bingjie walked, and soon he was out of sight. Furious, she cursed, "She’s just like her mother! I guarded against this every possible way, yet it still happened. Is this meant to infuriate me to death?" Old Master Qin looked toward his adopted daughter. "Since Bingjie is willing, and the two families know each other well, what exactly are you unwilling about?" Qin Lijuan felt she couldn’t express her bitterness. "That mother of hers has not a shred of education; I can’t get along with her." Old Master Qin furrowed his brows. "Didn’t you used to go shopping together often? How come you can’t get along now?" Qin Lijuan felt a headache and tightness in her chest, and discomfort everywhere. "Dad, please don’t ask anymore. I’m not feeling well; I’m going back first." She picked up her bag and also left the Qin residence. She had never expected that her eldest son would actually fall for that despicable girl. Was this not like lifting a rock only to drop it on her own feet? She was the only one who knew the truth about what had happened back then. She thought it would be fine to just watch from the sidelines, but what now? She was now so furious that her head felt like it was about to explode. Why did that unfilial son have to be so stubbornly set on her, insisting on having her and no one else? Now that damned fool had already signed up to go to the countryside, and there was no chance of withdrawing. How did I end up giving birth to such a difficult, incomprehensible child? Meanwhile, Old Master Qin, who had been sitting still, thought about the rural place his grandson had mentioned. He then recalled Yunyi, who had also gone to the countryside in a similar area. His grandson’s destination in the countryside must not be too far from hers. He wondered how that child was doing now. Even though the two families no longer had any dealings, ultimately, it was the Qin Family that had wronged her. It was he who had failed Old Master Chu. Every time he thought about this, he still felt uncomfortable. As he was lost in thought, Qin Jianghui walked in. "Grandfather, I’m back. Where are my aunt and Bingjie?" Old Master Qin glanced up. "They’ve left." Qin Jianghui sat down on the sofa. "Left? Weren’t they supposed to eat dinner here? Why did they leave?" Old Master Qin rose to his feet. "Bingjie signed up to go to the countryside on his own. Your aunt was so upset, how could she have the mood to eat? They had a big fight." Qin Jianghui was also shocked. "What? Bingjie signed up to go to the countryside?" He was somewhat perplexed. "Is he crazy? Didn’t his uncle by marriage already arrange a job for him? Why on earth would he go to the countryside?" Old Master Qin did not answer but sighed and turned to walk towards his own room.
