Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

Chapter 2040: Chapter 2038: Owing Sister-in-Law an Apology

Then the Second Lady of Qi Family said with a chuckle, "Oh dear sister-in-law, it’s not that I’m saying you’re being partial, but there’s no such partiality like this. How can you let your own daughter charge ahead? It will be so bad for her reputation in the future. Who can you keep this from once it gets out? I believe, before long, everyone who should know in Yun City will know, and her future marriage will be a problem."

"It’s none of your business. What does it have to do with you?" Lady Qi angrily rebuked, her face livid.

The Second Lady of Qi Family sneered coldly but said no more, turning instead to walk into the courtyard. It was too cold outside; she wouldn’t stay out and freeze.

Qi Menghan was about to speak when Qi Jin suddenly shouted, "Everyone shut up, get back to the courtyard immediately."

At that moment, Qi Fangxiu suddenly moved. He was very quick, strode past everyone, and entered the Qi Family’s main gate. When everyone went inside, they found he was already dressed and ready, carrying a travel bag.

Earlier, he had already put all the money scattered on the ground and the jade ornament into his travel bag.

Old Master Qi stood in the courtyard, looking at his grandson fully geared up. He wasn’t surprised, but his brows were tightly furrowed, and he said in a low voice, "Xiuxiu, the Qi family is angry right now. If you go, they definitely won’t treat you well."

"Grandfather, this was our wrongdoing. I have to go apologize in person."

Qi Jin nodded, patted his son’s shoulder, saying, "A real man takes responsibility for his actions. This matter is a mistake by your mother and sister, but you must bear the responsibility that is yours. No matter what, you need to settle this yourself. Forcing your mom and sister to apologize would only invite ridicule. Go, your father supports you."

Qi Fangxiu nodded, then strode out the door, passing by his mother without stopping, quickly disappearing beyond the courtyard entrance.

The main door of the Qi family closed.

Then the courtyard was filled with Qi Menghan’s sobbing, along with Su Wan anxiously explaining something...

It was strange not to hear from Lady Qi, really quite strange.

Behind closed doors, no one would know, even if someone spoke out, it would just be about some matters related to Lady Qi.

Moreover, Old Master Qi decreed that anyone who spread today’s events would be severely punished.

So, people might whisper behind the scenes, but the real truth would remain untold, especially to outsiders.

However, Old Master Qi ordered his reliable subordinates to investigate what Lady Qi has been doing all these years.

Primarily, it was to investigate why she liked Su Wan, why her relationship with the Su family was so good, whether there was any hidden agenda that he didn’t know about.

He also wanted an investigation on Qi Menghan.

Old Master Qi didn’t particularly dot on this granddaughter but not ignore her either. She wasn’t valued as much as the grandsons, but as the eldest daughter of the Qi family, she had everything she was supposed to have. He wanted to investigate if, apart from being arrogant, she used the Qi family’s status to bully others.

So today, Qi Menghan’s behavior finally made the old master take their education and future behavior seriously.

After all, they are all part of the Qi family, boys and girls alike. Their mistakes affect the entire Qi family, and today was the best example of that.

As the family patriarch, Old Master Qi, and the current head of the family, Qi Jin, even if they were to expel these two, the embarrassment still befalls them.

This cannot be divided.

Thus, taking this opportunity to properly reorganize the family was necessary. However, before reorganizing, it’s essential to thoroughly investigate everything to ensure they are convinced wholeheartedly, or similar incidents might happen again in the future.

Leaving aside the matters of the Qi family, at this moment inside the helicopter, Qin Xiaoyu looked at Gu Qiaoqiao with some guilt and said, "Sister-in-law, I’m sorry."

Gu Qiaoqiao raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked softly, "Xiao Yu, why are you apologizing to me? You should apologize to grandma and the others."

Qin Xiaoyu lowered her head, "I know, I will go tell them the truth and apologize."

This matter couldn’t be hidden, so she must choose to be honest. Although she felt anxious, today’s experiences reminded her of her past self, and she felt she owed her sister-in-law an apology.

Gu Qiaoqiao patted her shoulder, smiled, and said, "If so, have a good rest, and be ready for a scolding when we reach the Imperial Capital."

It wasn’t that Gu Qiaoqiao intentionally wanted to frighten Qin Xiaoyu; it’s just that Qin Xiaoyu would inevitably go through this experience. It was also to help shift her focus, as she seemed very downcast at the moment.

Then Qin Xiaoyu raised her head, looking at Gu Qiaoqiao, her eyes filled with guilt, her voice choked, "Sister-in-law, I’m really sorry, I was so thoughtless before, said many hurtful things, it must have been hard for you then."

Qin Yize’s eyes darkened, his heart involuntarily pained.

But he quickly controlled his emotions, after all, they were on a plane at the moment.

And Gu Qiaoqiao was taken aback for a moment, then recalled scenes she had seen with Qin Xiaoyu. To be honest, she had been in control and clearly knew what they said and did.

At the time, she wondered why Qin Xiaoyu, who was quite sharp-tongued and never averse to fighting back, didn’t retaliate back then?

It turned out that those sarcastic words reminded her of how she used to treat herself?

She didn’t expect Qin Xiaoyu to remember these things.

When she first regained consciousness, she was indeed resentful about it, but as time passed, much had faded away, especially as her abilities improved, her vision widened, and she saw a different world. These things no longer mattered.

To be honest, if she held grudges over these small matters, she wouldn’t have been able to practice the Heaven-reaching Talisman Incantation to the Third Layer.

So, Gu Qiaoqiao smiled, took her hand gently, and said softly, "I’ve truly forgotten all about it, rather it’s surprising you still remember. But, your experience this time can’t be said to be a bad thing. In life, it’s impossible to always sail smoothly; there will always be challenges and difficulties, even if you’re born into a wealthy family."

For example, today’s event which Qin Xiaoyu had never experienced before, she went through it today. Of course, it also had to do with her hiding her identity.

And what Gu Qiaoqiao referred to as challenges was the matter between her and Qi Fangxiu.
