Because she simply did not want to listen.
The next day, Qin Mu received a call from Helian Hao, learning that Zhang Rujia was scheduled for surgery.
Even Qin Mingzhu and Wang Huanyu came back to accompany her for the surgery, which shows that everyone knew about it.
But Qin Haiming was not there; he merely instructed his wife to call him after the surgery was finished.
The surgery was very successful, but that night after Qin Mingzhu returned, she couldn’t help but reproach Qin Haiming: "No matter what, she is still my mother. How could you not even visit her during such a major event?"
"It’s late, you two should head back to your room and sleep."
Qin Haiming sat on the sofa reading the newspaper and casually mentioned this after listening to his younger daughter’s nagging.
Knowing that Qin Haiming didn’t want to talk much with his wife, Wang Huanyu stood up, holding his still agitated wife’s shoulders, and whispered, "Let’s go, we’re going back to the room."
Seeing the expression on Wang Huanyu’s face, Qin Mingzhu knew he had something to say to her, so she did not argue further with Qin Haiming.
After they went upstairs, Qin Haiming put down his newspaper and weakly pinched the bridge of his nose.
How could he visit her? To this day, there isn’t a single truth in her words, still so greedy, thinking only of herself and wanting to deceive others whenever the opportunity arises.
Qin Haiming had personally verified with the hospital; her condition was not as exaggerated as she described. She shed so many tears in front of him, he almost softened.
But on closer thought, this woman, had deceived him for most of his life.
After closing the door, Wang Huanyu pulled Qin Mingzhu close: "Do you always talk to your father ?"
Looking up, Qin Mingzhu saw his incredulous expression and felt a bit confused.
"Setting aside that he’s the mayor, he’s also your father who raised and pampered you. Don’t you care about his dignity, his reputation at all? Mingzhu, don’t continue in the future, okay?"
Wang Huanyu lectured her like she was a child, and suddenly she remembered the last time someone reprimanded her , it seemed to be Qin Mu.
"Are you kidding me? I’m your wife, not your child. What right do you have to lecture me? Besides, this is how I’ve always talked with my dad. Why should I change just because you say so?"
Qin Mingzhu glanced at him, murmured and then pushed him away as she turned around to go take a shower.
Her buttocks were forcefully slapped, causing her pain, and she immediately turned her head and covered her buttocks: "Wang Huanyu, why did you hit me?"
"If you don’t listen, this is just the beginning!"
Wang Huanyu said while flexing his large palm again.
"You, you, boo hoo, you brute, go away, leave, you... ah..."
Tears of grievance immediately welled up in Qin Mingzhu’s eyes as she slapped and pushed him outside, then Wang Huanyu directly scooped her into his arms, turned around, and slapped her again with his other hand.
Qin Mingzhu was almost beaten to death, but she somehow became a bit more agreeable.
The next day on his way to work, Qin Haiming called Qin Mu but only asked if she had slept well and if there were any issues at work.
"I am fine! What about you?"
"Hmm! Not bad, I just passed the road leading to your studio, so I thought of giving you a call."
Sitting in the back, Uncle Wang was driving in front, listening to their conversation and feeling rather pained.
Qin Mu also felt a bit heartbroken.
She wanted to say something but ended up speechless.
"Have you reached your studio?"
Qin Mu hasn’t left the car yet, sitting inside with her head bowed, listening to Qin Haiming’s call.
"It’s getting hotter these days, don’t come out of the office too much for nothing, your delicate skin would suffer from a sunburn and it’s not worth it."
Trying to chat more with her, Qin Haiming thought hard before finally coming up with that line, then couldn’t help but laugh a little himself afterward.
Qin Mu couldn’t help but give a soft chuckle too: "Yes, I will certainly take good care of myself, ensuring proper heat and sun protection, you and Uncle Wang should do the same, take good care of yourselves too."
"Hmm! Well, I don’t have anything else, just reaching the office, we’ll talk another day."
Hearing the playful tone in Qin Mu’s voice, Qin Haiming felt much better, reluctantly hanging up the phone.
After hanging up, he sighed for a moment, looking at the back of the head in front of him: "Mumu told you to take good care of yourself."
Uncle Wang couldn’t help but chuckle: "The young lady always worries about me."
"What young lady, she doesn’t see you as an outsider, just like me, calling you Mumu makes her very happy."
