Madam Rong ignored him.
She strode toward the entrance of the house.
The others imdiately followed.
At the sa ti, Rong Manman also saw that their family had returned, and an expression of delighted surprise imdiately spread across her face.
You see, she had been there for almost half an hour already, nearly dying from the heat.
If they didn’t return soon, she would have definitely gone back first, or else she’d have gotten heatstroke.
Luckily, they finally ca back.
She hastily went forward, "Auntie..." Her voice still tinged with excitent, as if their relationship was oh so wonderful!
Madam Rong looked at the person who caused her daughter to go to the countryside, harboring not an ounce of affection for her.
And she didn’t give her a bit of a pleasant look, "What are you doing at my doorstep again?"
Slowly approaching, Rong Yan noticed the word "again" and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow... Had Rong Wenze’s family been here these past two days?
Why had no one ntioned it to her?
And from the corner of her eye, Rong Manman caught a glimpse of Qin Ye, her heartbeat quickening for two seconds.
Up close... he really was handso!
"Hey, what are you looking at? Spit it out quickly and get lost once you’re done."
Rong Manman imdiately dared not look randomly, her eyes quickly reddening, "Auntie, I know you don’t want to see , but... I’m sincerely here to apologize. In the past, I was young and ignorant, which led to my blunders. Now I truly regret what I’ve done. I want to offer my apology to Yanyan, I’m sorry, Yanyan."
As she spoke, she even deliberately bowed towards Rong Yan.
Rong Yan watched her gesture, her eyebrows arching slightly... what was she trying to pull?
"You want my forgiveness?" She spoke languidly, "It’s not impossible."
When Rong Manman heard this, her eyes imdiately lit up, her face showing a flurry of excitent.
"Yanyan, you are really too kind..."
Rong Yan let out a scoff, "Don’t rush! I haven’t finished speaking! If you really want my forgiveness, it’s not impossible—just knock out your front teeth first! After that, I’ll consider it."
Rong Manman’s smile instantly froze on her face, she was dumbstruck, "Knock out my front teeth?"
Rong Yan nodded, "Yes."
Rong Manman was sure she hadn’t misheard and was incredulous, how could this bitch be so malicious? It was as if she just couldn’t stand to see her well?
She managed a strained smile, "...Yanyan, you, you must be joking."
Rong Yan snorted, "Do I look like I’m joking? Alright then, since you’re not willing, don’t block my doorstep."
"Mom, give the keys, I’ll open the door, Yanyan must be overheated." By the end of Qin Ye’s statent, it wasn’t hard to detect the tenderness in his tone.
Madam Rong imdiately said, "I can open it."
Then she used her body to directly bump the person blocking her way who wouldn’t move aside.
Rong Manman staggered to the side and started falling down.
Rong Yan saw her falling towards Qin Ye and imdiately let out a cold laugh, grabbing her hair and yanking it to the other side.
Rong Manman was in so much pain tears stread down, "It hurts, let go..."
Rong Yan let go with a cold laugh and then went straight inside without paying her any more attention.
Qin Ye hurriedly followed. After all, even if his wife hadn’t intervened, he wouldn’t have let that woman fall on him.
Rong Wenming glanced at his misguided niece, "Go back ho! Don’t co here again."
Qin i also quickly went inside.
But Qin Yu didn’t rush in; he stood in front of Rong Manman.
His voice was very low and light, hardly more than a whisper they could both hear, yet it carried an eerie chill:
"Speaking of which, I should thank you. Otherwise, my big brother wouldn’t have been able to marry such a great wife, nor would my sister and I have such a wonderful sister-in-law. But, you are a bit too malicious, so I can’t give you that thanks, lest it feeds the evil inside you."
"Besides, my brother belongs to my sister-in-law. Don’t think that just because my brother looks decent, you can try to get close. Otherwise..."
His expression suddenly turned nacing, "I’ll kill you."
Rong Manman was taken aback by the boy’s gaze.
Qin Yu snorted coldly, then ran into the courtyard.
Did he not just see that woman deliberately trying to spill on his older brother?
He was thirteen this year; don’t think he didn’t understand anything.
Whether that woman wanted to disgust his sister-in-law or coveted his older brother, seeing how presentable he looked now... she wouldn’t stand a chance.
Even though life had improved, he never forgot what the old days were like.
Therefore, in his heart, no one could be his sister-in-law; he only recognized one.
Standing still, Rong Manman trembled with rage. She had thought that Rong Yan might co to warn her... but she didn’t care, after all, she did want to disgust that wench.
But she never expected a boy barely in his teens to say such words to her.
Qin Yu was the last to close the door of the Rong Family’s entrance.
As he turned around, he acted as if nothing had happened, as if he hadn’t done or said anything. He still looked like that rural boy who had just returned to the city.
"Yu, co here, have so mung bean soup first," Madam Rong had set the mung bean soup in a cool place that morning, so it was still pleasantly cool.
"Okay, Auntie." Qin Yu imdiately walked over, "Auntie, I’ll pour it myself."
"Sure, then I’ll go get you so stead buns." In this scorching weather, the buns were soft and fresh from the morning steam, no need to reheat them.
Rong Yan glanced at Qin Yu, who was pouring the soup, and pondered sothing.
Don’t think she didn’t know he had said a few words to Rong Manman. However, he spoke too softly, and she hadn’t heard.
Of course, she wouldn’t specifically ask him about it.
Qin Yu looked up and saw his sister-in-law’s gaze, his heart skipped a beat, feeling sowhat guilty, "Why, why are you looking at like that, Sister-in-law?"
Rong Yan said nonchalantly, "Oh, I was thinking... you could pour a bowl too."
Hearing this, Qin Yu imdiately relaxed, "Sure."
Without hesitation, he handed over the newly poured bowl.
Then he rembered sothing, "Sister-in-law, my cousin said... I could spend this sumr break in the military camp. Do you think I can?"
Rong Yan knew that several children from distinguished families were often sent by their parents to train in the military.
"There’s nothing wrong with that, as long as you’re willing to go."
"But if I go... I won’t be able to return ho until school starts again." This was Qin Yu’s real concern.
Rong Yan didn’t rush to reply, she took a sip of the mung bean soup, which, though not cold, was quite nice.
She looked up to see Qin Yu still waiting for her answer.
So, she spoke calmly, "It’s only for less than two months. If you want to go, then go. Or are you actually afraid of suffering? Is that why you seem like a child who can’t leave ho?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu beca anxious, "I’m not afraid of hardship, and I’m not a child."
Rong Yan raised an eyebrow, "In that case, you should go!"
Qin Yu rashly declared, "Then I’ll go."
While sipping her mung bean soup, Rong Yan’s lips curled upwards.
Actually, she thought Qin Zhen’s suggestion was really good. Otherwise, the kid would just be idling at ho... better to let him experience life in the military for a while.
It would also help with his growth and maturation.
If after this trip to the military, he still couldn’t entertain the thought of becoming a soldier in the future, then let him go.
If he changed his mind, then they could guide him down a path that suited him better.
After a simple lunch, it was ti for a nap.
Rong Yan returned to the room upstairs.
Qin Ye followed her in, "Wife, give so more money."
Rong Yan, without asking, directly handed him a hundred.
"I don’t need that much." Qin Ye only took five ten-yuan notes, "I’m stepping out for a bit."
Rong Yan didn’t know what he was up to, but she didn’t pry.
Suddenly, she rembered sothing else - her space should have finished upgrading by now.
With that thought, she went to close the door and latched it.
Only then did she use her consciousness to check... indeed, the upgrade was complete.
