Mother Qin’s mouth was in the shape of an ‘O,’ as a disillusioned expression appeared on her face.
Their door… It was made of solid wood!
“Qianqian!”
Seeing that there was no one inside, he knew that Jing Lu must have escaped and hidden in the study next door. He relaxed slightly and immediately began to comfort Jing Qian, “There is really no one here! The reason why I said that just now was because I wanted you to have more trust in me. Qianqian, we’ve been dating for the past two years. Don’t you have any idea how well I treat you?”
When Mother Qin saw that Jing Lu had already hidden herself, she straighten her back as she saw her chance. As she recalled all the evil things that Jing Qian had said, she sneered, “Didn’t you say that you were looking for a mistress here?! Look for her then! Didn’t you say that you wanted to break up with Qin Yi?! Do it then!”
“Mother!”
Qin Yi didn’t know what to say. All he could do was yell, hoping to interrupt his mother.
Couldn’t she see that Jing Qian had completely changed?
However, after two years of getting along in a completely different manner, Mother Qin couldn’t stop, even when she had the upper hand.
“Why are you screaming at me? Did I say anything wrong? She’s so ill-mannered and doesn’t have any trust in you. She doesn’t even have basic respect for your mother! Since this woman has already said that she doesn’t want to be with you, you should be the one who discards her instead!”
As Jing Qian heard what Mother Qin said, she raised her brows and asked with a calm, coquettish expression, “Are you sure?”
Mother Qin remained silent.
She wanted to say something back but realized that there was something wrong with this woman’s expression. She bit her lips, and even though she didn’t say it outright, her face had a stubborn, unyielding expression.
“Mother! Qianqian might have offended you, but you know that I love Qianqian! Why do you always have to be so harsh on her? The two of you are putting me in a tough spot when you act like this!”
When he saw his mother’s face flush red due to shame, Qin Yi continued advising them, “You know that I can’t live without Qianqian. Even if she’s temporarily married to the Zhan family, I will still wait for her. This is something that you agreed on as well. Why do you always have to be like this when Qianqian is here…”
While Qin Yi was still expressing his thoughts to Mother Qin, Jing Qian suddenly bolted out of the room.
By the time he reacted and dashed out of the room, it was already too late, as Jing Qian had already opened the door to the study room.
Jing Lu, who was initially hiding in the bedroom, was eavesdropping and had realized that something wasn’t right. That was why she instantly took off her heels and hid them inside Qin Yi’s wardrobe. Then, she went to the balcony bare-footed and climbed over to the study room.
Just as she reached the study room’s balcony, she heard the sound of Jing Qian breaking the bedroom’s door. She became so frightened, she almost fell off the balcony.
Although by now she was inside the study room, her heart still wasn’t at peace.
Just when Jing Lu thought that she was safe, the room’s door opened without any warning.
Jing Lu suddenly raised her head and locked gazes with Jing Qian’s beautiful peach-blossom eyes, which she had always envied.
At this moment, the usually extremely seductive eyes were filled with an ironic look.
Jing Lu’s face turned various shades of red and white. As she faced Jing Qian, she did not know what to say. She was ashamed and angry, but she had no idea what to do next.
Qin Yi ran into the room and saw Jing Lu sitting on the balcony of the study room. His complexion immediately became awful.
Lastly, Mother Qin ran into the room as well. When she saw Jing Qian’s ‘I told you so’ expression and the grey, embarrassed look on her son and Jing Lu’s face, she immediately went towards Jing Lu.
She helped Jing Lu stand up and said…
