Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

Chapter 2038: Chapter 2036: Jealousy and Resentment

As Qin Xiaoyu’s words fell, a brief yet eerie silence emerged in the open space, and then some people’s gazes fell upon the three women standing together.

There was Lady Qi, her daughter Qi Menghan, and the eldest daughter of the Su family, Su Wan.

If before this, someone had said that Qin Xiaoyu stole money and a jade ornament from the Qi family, maybe someone would have believed it. But at this moment, everyone looked at Lady Qi with mocking eyes.

Speaking of looking down on people, a few here are not very different from Lady Qi, it’s just a matter of the pot calling the kettle black.

But no one else was as blatant as Lady Qi.

Qi Jin quickly put on a smiling face, "Xiao Yu, there must have been a misunderstanding just now. I’ve already reprimanded them, and I’ll have them apologize to you."

Qin Xiaoyu knew that Old Master Qi and Qi Fangxiu’s father were quite decent and didn’t look down on people, but Lady Qi and Qi Fangxiu’s sister were truly disgusting, even more so than she used to be.

Qin Xiaoyu apologized a bit, "Grandpa Qi, Uncle Qi, I’m sorry for causing you trouble."

Qi Fangxiu’s expression was unclear at this time; his brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were solely focused on Qin Xiaoyu. No one could tell what he was thinking.

Qi Jin and Old Master Qi exchanged a glance, actually feeling deeply resentful. It truly wasn’t their oversight, but rather they never expected something so disgraceful to occur in their own home,

After all, in all these years, both inside and outside the family, among brothers and even between sisters-in-law, many things had happened, but never anything like this.

Of course, they never considered that this had anything to do with Qin Xiaoyu. It’s only natural; as Qi Fangxiu’s girlfriend, she followed him to an unfamiliar place where she knew nothing and no one except Qi Fangxiu. Why would she get into conflict with these women?

Thus, Old Master Qi glared fiercely at Lady Qi with a sinister look.

Lady Qi, under such a gaze, was somewhat frightened. Among anyone, she knew Old Master Qi the best. Despite his usual smiley demeanor, when he turned against you, he could be ruthless.

Don’t think that just because she’s Qi Fangxiu’s mother, if she crosses his line, he wouldn’t spare her. Lady Qi unconsciously shrank back.

At the same time, she glanced at Qin Xiaoyu standing over there, filled with resentment. This damned girl clearly wasn’t good stock, regardless of her being part of the Qin Family.

If she had just told them the truth upon arriving in Yun City, would this morning’s incident have happened?

Even if she didn’t like her, she still valued the Qin Family’s status, which was much better than the Su family, of course. That’s only in terms of status; no matter whose child she was, Lady Qi disliked her.

The only daughter-in-law she was satisfied with was Su Wan.

But seeing today, it seemed Su Wan got dragged into this mess. Luckily, the child hadn’t said anything and just stood there silently, yet she got caught in trouble.

Thus, Lady Qi reached out and pulled Su Wan to her side, moving her behind her back.

Su Wan got the hint. Her mind was already a chaotic mess, filled with jealousy and resentment.

Who would’ve thought that the girlfriend Brother Xiu brought back was actually Qin Yize’s sister from the Qin Group?

In their circle, who didn’t know about the Qin Group in the Imperial Capital, and who didn’t know Qin Yize, the head of the Qin Group, a man respected wherever he went?

Whether it was his assets or his connections, and Qin Xiaoyu was actually his real sister.

In such a chaotic occasion, it was impossible for her to get involved. Failing to gain would only lead to loss. She hadn’t thought Lady Qi would still think of her at this time and not push her forward. She smiled gratefully at Lady Qi before hiding behind her.

Qi Menghan’s face immediately changed, looking at her mother in disbelief.

She knew her mother liked Su Wan and treated Sister Su Wan just like her. Before this, she never thought about favoritism, but that action just now made her feel uncomfortable.

Sometimes impulsive and arrogant, but not dumb; she didn’t need anyone to say anything. She knew that the Qi Family members leading today would definitely face severe punishment after Qin Xiaoyu and the others left, and thinking of that result frightened her.

It was just a momentary impulse. Plus, she was used to being overbearing and oppressive daily. Anyone she wanted to suppress in Yun City never succeeded. Naturally, she didn’t take Qin Xiaoyu seriously.

But now, Qin Xiaoyu was no longer the woman of some insignificant background in her eyes, she knew that even if Qin Xiaoyu became her sister-in-law in the future, she wouldn’t be someone she could provoke.

Originally wanting to avoid this, the Qi Family members were unusually distanced today. Usually standing together, today they distanced themselves in a blink, isolating the three of them. As she panicked, her mother pulled Su Wan behind her. Didn’t she see her own daughter standing beside her?

Qi Jin naturally saw Lady Qi’s action, his gaze darkened, he didn’t expect his wife to do such a thing.

He also saw his daughter’s expression of near-tears, feeling both angry and helpless, but also pity.

How did he suddenly feel that what he thought was, wasn’t what he thought; what he saw, wasn’t what he saw. Many things, many situations, seemed different from how he imagined.

Then, Qi Menghan lowered her voice, stomped angrily, and looked at her mother, shouting in frustration, "Mom!"

Only then did Lady Qi realize, quickly pulling her over and whispering, "Menghan, don’t speak."

So the three people stood closer together, although Lady Qi pulled Qi Menghan over, her face was twisted and not good at all. Of course, these went unnoticed by others. Qi Jin then stepped forward.

Qin Xiaoyu’s emotions had calmed down, her messy hair was tidied by her sister-in-law, though a button of her coat was torn off, it wasn’t obvious unless looked closely. Hence, Qin Xiaoyu now appeared neat and demure, allowing Qi Jin and Old Master Qi to breathe a sigh of relief.

Old Master Qi spoke in a deep voice, but it was directed at Qi Fangxiu, "Xiuxiu, go ahead and fetch Xiao Yu’s things."
