Chapter 1269: Chapter 1262: Surgery (8) Chapter 1269: Chapter 1262: Surgery (8) Lu Weixi was startled, that ball, although it was a soccer ball intended for children, thudded distinctly when it hit the ground, clearly indicating it wasn’t a balloon and carried so weight. A direct kick to her stomach like that would definitely cause serious trouble! She normally didn’t stoop to Bai Wei Yi’s level, but she hadn’t expected the little brat to actually dare to kick a ball at her! However, the ball was coming too fast, and for a mont she didn’t react.
Lu Weixi beca so anxious she eventually closed her eyes, but at the critical mont, it was Qin Zhiyou who reached out, his palm perfectly intercepting the incoming ball. He wasn’t about to prioritize face over substance; after lightly bouncing the ball on the ground, he promptly smacked it onto Bai Wei Yi’s head.
Previously, Bai Wei Yi had been beaten up by Qin Zhiyou once before, and now being at his rcy again, he was hit and started crying loudly. Qin Zhiyou, who had experience with this, didn’t bother with those who ca out to see, and rely spoke indifferently, “If I catch you throwing a ball at soone again, I’ll toss you and the ball out together!”
Cai Yiren’s mother ca out to protect her son, but Qin Zhiyou didn’t say anything, just gave her a cool glance, “Oh, how co, this child’s uncle didn’t co? I had thought, considering how close you two seem, wherever you go, his uncle always follows.”
It was a seemingly straightforward remark, and Cai’s mother was certain that no one else knew about her and her cousin’s affairs besides herself, her cousin, and Cai Yiren who had accidentally stumbled upon them. However, when Qin Zhiyou spoke, his gaze was filled with such playful sharpness, it always felt like there was a deeper aning to his words—especially since his eyes kept glancing at Bai Changyou, with a teasing and mocking undertone.
Cai’s mother was frightened, comforting her son for a long ti. Qin Zhiyou ignored them and went inside with Lu Weixi.
As they entered, Qin Zhii pursed her lips, clearly not wanting to deal with her. Qin Zhizha, on the other hand, was still smiling, “Sister-in-law really puts on airs. We haven’t seen her for months.”
Having returned to the Qin Family estate, running into Cai Yiren and Bai Changyou as soon as she arrived, then encountering the unwelcoming faces of the third branch’s mbers and the second branch, who seed indifferent but had their own motives, as well as Yang Mogui who had never been quite satisfied with her—the familiar family atmosphere was back.
Lu Weixi was unsure what she felt at the mont—whether it was the luck of being out of this family or an odd sense of familiarity yet estrangent.
Her current concerns didn’t revolve around her struggles with Bai Changyou or Cai Yiren. All she thought about was her work, her mother’s illness, and the little troublemaker growing in her belly. Regarding all these overt and covert battles, she surprisingly felt a vague sense of distance.
The only difference was that upon seeing her, Grandpa Qin, sitting at the center, got up with the help of his cane, “Wei Hui, co with .”
Qin Zhiyou and she exchanged glances. Qin Zhiyou, holding her hand, said, “Grandpa, I’ll co with you too.”
Grandpa Qin didn’t even acknowledge his grandson’s words, took two steps forward and, seeing Lu Weixi hadn’t followed, added, “Co here.”
Lu Weixi then let go of the hand, quickened her pace, and caught up.
Grandpa Qin didn’t lead her to his study but to his own room instead. His bedroom was the largest room in the entire Qin household, and it was Lu Weixi’s first ti entering. Upon entering, she saw an entire wall filled with bookshelves, laden with books.
The mont they entered, Grandpa ordered, “Close the door behind you.”
