Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Mr. Zhao Refuses to Believe
Zhao Sisi ran home in tears.
The Zhao family didn’t even have a chance to ask what was wrong before she had already run upstairs.
Just then, Mrs. Zhao also returned, her face dark with anger.
Mr. Zhao asked directly, "What happened? Why did Sisi come back crying? What did the Qin family say?"
"What did they say? They’re completely unreasonable! They have no respect for our family at all. And after all the years we’ve known them! That Old Man Qin practically stomped our faces—my daughter’s and mine—into the dirt!"
"I never imagined that Old Man Qin could be so outrageous."
Her words left the other members of the Zhao family confused.
Mr. Zhao frowned. "What exactly happened? Didn’t they make that new daughter-in-law apologize?"
Mrs. Zhao sneered. "Ha! Apologize? Old Man Qin defended her on the spot! He even scolded me for not raising my daughter properly—and told us to keep our daughter away from his grandson from now on."
As she spoke, her eyes couldn’t help but turn red.
In all these years, this was the first time she had ever been so humiliated.
And it was as if she’d gone straight to their door just to have her face stepped on.
"What? Mr. Qin said that? Impossible—" Mr. Zhao refused to believe it.
He couldn’t believe Mr. Qin would say such a thing.
The rest of the Zhao family didn’t believe it either.
Seeing her husband’s reaction, Mrs. Zhao grew even angrier. "You think I’m making this up? If I’m lying about a single word, may I be struck by lightning!"
"Silence," the elder Mr. Zhao snapped.
"Dad, I’m really not making it up! He told us to control our daughter and to stop her from seeking out Qin Wenshu. He even said that our families aren’t joined by marriage and our children aren’t dating, so Sisi shouldn’t interfere with his grandson’s normal love life. As an elder, how could he say something like that?"
"It’s just too much—"
"I’m not lying about a single thing."
This time, the elder Mr. Zhao’s expression turned completely foul.
The other members of the Zhao family also looked displeased—
’The Qin family’s new daughter-in-law hit someone, and not only did Mr. Qin defend her, but he’s also planning to completely fall out with our Zhao family?’
Aunt Li came to the hospital to deliver a meal.
She gave Fu Mingxue a few extra glances.
Qin Wenhao noticed her looking. "Aunt Li, did something happen at home?"
Aunt Li was at a loss for words.
She looked like she wanted to speak but stopped herself.
’How was she supposed to bring this up?’
Fu Mingxue looked at her. "Is it about me?"
Qin Wenhao: "Aunt Li, speak."
Seeing this, Aunt Li had no choice but to recount how Mrs. Zhao and her daughter had come to the Qin residence to cause trouble.
Fu Mingxue was very surprised after hearing the story.
She wasn’t surprised that Mrs. Zhao and her daughter went to the Qin family to complain.
She was surprised that Mr. Qin had been so protective, siding directly with a granddaughter-in-law he had never even met.
"Since my grandfather handled it that way, you don’t need to worry."
Fu Mingxue shot him a sideways glance. "I’m not worried."
’Where did he get the idea I was worried?’
’Besides, it wouldn’t matter even if the Qin family didn’t side with me. It’s not like I have to live with them.’
Qin Wenhao just glanced at her without saying more. Instead, he pointed at the food that had been laid out. "Eat."
Fu Mingxue looked at the lavish meal, surprised by how much food there was.
"Aunt Li, eat with us!"
Aunt Li quickly waved her hands. "I’ve already eaten. You two go ahead."
Qin Wenhao served some of the food to Fu Mingxue.
He then placed the only large chicken drumstick into Fu Mingxue’s bowl.
Fu Mingxue glanced at him but didn’t say anything.
The two of them finished their meal.
Fu Mingxue was about to clean up,
but Aunt Li quickly took over. "I’ll get it."
Just then, Qin Wenhao spoke up, "Aunt Li, we don’t need you here tonight. You can go home this evening."
Fu Mingxue added, "That’s right, Aunt Li, you should go home. It’ll be fine with just me and—Wenhao here."
