The two who happened to be returning were coincidental, and there have been a lot of things going on in the squad these past few days. Old Qin is affiliated with the Command Center, and he and his youngest son are not in the same department.
It just so happens that Qin Lao's side, which is participating in the military exercise as the red team, and Qin Zhenyang's special forces unit are also on the same side, so they will be working together. The two sides have already met and discussed any potential issues that may arise during the exercise. There is still half a month left before the closed training begins, and today's meeting was the last one regarding the performance aspect of the exercise.
They finished relatively early, and the two of them packed up and headed back. When they returned to the mansion, both of them felt that something was off, especially when they first entered the gate.
"Hmm, swords drawn and bows stretched, the smell of gunpowder is heavy!"
Mr. Qin saw that everyone was present, especially the one from Old Three's house had also arrived, furrowed his brow, but didn't say anything, just patted his youngest son on the shoulder and walked away with big strides.
Qin Zhenyang guessed what had happened when he saw his wife suddenly appear, and the fatigue between his eyebrows added a hint of regret. He walked over, took his wife's hand, and protected her in his arms. He could feel that his wife seemed to want to break free from his palm, but he didn't let go, instead pulling her tightly into his arms.
She was wronged, must be, Qin Zhenyang looked at his mother and sister-in-law, and guessed something...
"Mom, what's going on today?" The old lady responded well at first, why did she go back on her word?
Mrs. Qin looked at her son's distant and vigilant expression, feeling disappointed and attributing everything to this woman. She said displeased: "What's going on! I didn't plan to force you before, but this woman is indeed not suitable for you, not just because of her background! Her relationship with Qin Zong, you know it in your heart! If you stay here any longer, what will others think?"
"What do you plan to do then, mom?"
Madam Qin nodded and said, "As long as you two get a divorce, I'll give her a large sum of money, arrange a good job for her, and provide everything else she needs except for finding her a man. That's the most I can do, just as long as she leaves Beijing! And you two must get a divorce immediately!"
Qin Zhenyang smiled, but this smile didn't reach his eyes at all.
"Qin Zhen's little affair I really don't know about, but what does it have to do with us? Xiao Li and she broke up long ago, so just because of this we should get a divorce? Mom, who in this world doesn't have one or two ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends, I don't mind why you're minding this?" Qin Zhenyang was unhappy, extremely unhappy.
The old lady thought it was good for him, but the old lady was too barbaric, thinking that in the name of being good to him, she would let him do things he didn't want to do. If it were someone else, perhaps he would compromise, but this time, he wouldn't.
Madam Qin sat silently back on the sofa, seemingly unable to think of a way to persuade her son to give up this woman. After all, apart from his grandson, her son had also appeared in the surveillance footage. He couldn't have known about that incident, yet he still didn't care! What kind of enchanting potion had this woman given her son that he could stoop to such a level?!
"Have you really made up your mind? What's so good about her?! There are many better women than her in the capital! What do you want that you don't have......" Old Lady Qin couldn't understand her son's thoughts, if young people were still infatuated with emotions, but her son was already over 30, didn't he have any sense at all?
Qin Zhenyang nodded and didn't say anything else, just holding his wife's hand without letting go. Ji Xiaoli let out a light sigh, having seen Qin's old lady's temper before, now it came to this, she felt nothing much about it.
"Why don't you and your mom talk some more, I'll head back first?" Ji Xiao Li whispered secretly beside him, clearly she wasn't interested in this family meeting, let alone being the one to be criticized.
Qin Zhenyang didn't respond, "It's not long before we go back together. I also received a call from Aunt Wang just now. I asked her to buy some dishes you like to eat and some dumplings. We can eat them when we get back."
Is he trying to tempt her with food? Ji Xiaoli gave him a disdainful look, she's not a kid, is this method too unreliable?
Qin Zhenyang's voice was not loud, but the few people present were enough to hear it, especially the old lady, whose face turned iron-gray. Her son didn't give her any face at all, and didn't even give her a step down!
The old lady was a bit resentful. As soon as her husband came back, he ran upstairs. She's probably known all along that their son wouldn't compromise and had gone into hiding! Now on her side...
"Mom, if there's nothing else here, I'll take Xiaoli back first. If you want to call someone over in the future, please notify me first and I'll come with her!"
"Her face stiffened: 'She's not a coward, what's wrong with her coming alone?! Third brother, are you going to turn against me for the sake of a woman?'"
"I didn't mean it that way, I just don't want mom to always make things difficult for Xiao Li! She is my wife, if you really care about me, you should respect my decision and treat her as your own daughter-in-law... If you have other ideas, I advise you to forget it, because I will never divorce her!"
Madam Qin remained silent, while Zhang Xiuxiu couldn't help but interrupt: "Mom, this is also for your own good, Third Brother. You know what we received earlier? A disc, inside..."
"What is it?" Qin Zhenyang narrowed his eyes coldly, as if he had thought of something.
Qin Zong didn't know either and looked over at the same time, "Mom, did you and grandma see something just now, that's why you had such a big reaction?"
Madam Qin snorted, "Axiu, show them!"
The housekeeper named Ah Xiu opened the projection screen in the living room, and what was projected next was what happened that day at the hotel...
This time it's not just the two men, even Ji Xiaoli's face turned dark. No wonder! No wonder this old lady brought her over for no reason today, someone must have been instigating! Ji Xuewei! Apart from her, nothing else needs to be said about this matter!
Qin Zong's fist in his hand was clenched with a loud crack, and his face was equally gloomy and frightening. "Mom, this thing must have been sent over by Ji Xuewei! Previously, when I and Xiao Li appeared in that place, it was her design to let us pass, and later San Shu also went there for the same reason!"
Zhang Xiuyao was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting it to be the case. However, the old lady didn't say a word and stood up, saying: "Even if it's her, what can we do? The person in the painting isn't fake! If it wasn't her, I would still be kept in the dark!"
She probably still doesn't know that her eldest grandson and youngest son like the same woman, what kind of situation is this?
"Zhenyang, your mom also wants to talk to you about this. The second young lady from the Tan family is quite suitable, you've met her before, she's knowledgeable, reasonable and elegant, why don't you really consider it? In a couple of days, I was thinking of adopting her as my goddaughter, if you two could be together..." Although Old Lady Qin wasn't as stubborn as her husband and son, it wasn't impossible for her to give up all at once either.
Qin Zhenyang furrowed his brow, but Ji Xiaoli suddenly remembered something.
That Miss Tan Er, I've seen her before, at the Zhao family banquet. She was there too, and that's all I know about her. Looks like a very impressive young lady with a lot of aura. She raised an eyebrow, and her hand unconsciously relaxed: "Can't tell you have such a strong peach blossom luck, actually even if you don't fancy Miss Tan Er, there are still many backup options waiting for you, aren't there?"
Qin Zhenyang couldn't help but smile wryly: "I feel like they're all rotten peaches, one good peach is enough, why are you being so jealous?"
"I'm afraid of sour things, I usually don't eat vinegar!" Ji Xiaoli tried to struggle free from that big hand, but didn't know that the big hand didn't relax at all, grasping her as if it was going to hurt.
"Let go! You're hurting my hand!" This savage has no sense of propriety at all.
Qin Zhenyang remained unmoved, "I'm afraid that if I loosen my grip, you'll run away. Then who will I ask to find a wife... So just endure the pain, anyway we're going back soon. If it's really unbearable, you can pinch me back!"
Pinch? This tyrant has thick skin and flesh, she can't pinch at all, but instead wastes a lot of energy!
Ji Xiaoli let out a cold hum, turning her face to the side. In fact, she had been unhappy for so long, extremely unhappy! The old lady was against her, Qin Zong's mother was also against her, and oh, there was also Qin Zong who suddenly appeared halfway, thinking he was helping but actually making things more chaotic.
She really didn't want to sing anymore in this play.
I'm tired.
Qin Zhenyang naturally knew, looking at his pale-faced little wife, he couldn't help but feel heartache. He looked at his mother and said: "Mom, even if Tan Erniang is good, she has nothing to do with me! If you feel lonely at home, you can adopt someone as a daughter-in-law! Just don't involve me in this matter... Today, I don't know how to deal with this situation. You took advantage of my absence to bring her here and even persuaded my wife to leave me. You often say unpleasant things, and I should be angry, but mom, you're my mother, and there are some things I can't say to you!"
"Mom, from now on, if there's nothing important, don't do this again. Xiaoli won't lose face for the Qin family. You're not willing to acknowledge her, that's fine too. We can just live outside and you won't have to see us, it's all good." Qin Zhenyang casually dropped these words and left with his person.
Old Lady Qin was about to be driven mad and shouted: "You stand still for me!"
Qin San Ye didn't even turn around and led his wife out of the living room, so cool!
"Unfilial son! Truly an unfilial son!" The old lady muttered a few more sentences, then went to look at her eldest grandson, only to see him flash her a dry smile, "Grandma, I'm going upstairs to get some documents, see you later."
After finishing speaking, he ran away in a hurry. Old Lady Qin naturally knew that her eldest grandson did not return for the documents, and this lie was not very clever. She could see through it! However, at this moment, she didn't bother to say anything either.
Sons and grandsons one by one...
"Mother, don't be angry, Third Brother is just infatuated. They've only been together for less than a year, and in three to five years, he might not be so obsessed... After all, men will always have their hearts moved by younger and prettier women!" Zhang Xiuxiu comforted on the side, but actually added fuel to the fire.
Madam Qin sighed: "I'm really old! Zhenyang doesn't even listen to me, as long as that woman... forget it, there's no point talking about it anymore. The people have left. In a few days, let Si Mu come over, I want to adopt her as my goddaughter!"
Disappointment begets disappointment, the old lady never stopped thinking of making Tan Er's daughter her daughter-in-law! However, this road is arduous and seems to have no end in sight, the old lady is destined to lose sleep tonight.
On the other hand.
Qin San Ye put the person on the off-road vehicle, closed the door himself, fastened his seatbelt and prepared to head home with his wife.
But this will make the wife sulky, what to do if the wife doesn't talk to him? Although he really wants to use his method to directly press the person onto the bed and get it over with, which is quick and effective, but this time if they really take this approach...
He had a premonition.
The days of hardship are coming next.
