Aunt Qin calmed down the trepidation in her heart and quietly said, “Yun Bixue belongs to Young Master Xie now, and our Qin family cannot stand out at the moment. If you’re fond of that woman, you have to wait. After the royal families form an alliance successfully, she naturally will become yours.”
Qin Huailing smiled. He looked like a flower gliding down with the falling snow—clean and unblemished. That smile made Aunt Qin unable to hide the darkness she harbored in her heart. Her expression turned rather tensed.
“Aunt, who said that I like Yun Bixue? You’re making such wild guesses regarding my feelings. I was just thinking that these women you recommended might become unavailable later on again!” Qin Huailing cracked a joke just like a child, but his gaze was sinister.
The look on Aunt Qin’s face was strained. She didn’t know why, but her heart would feel uneasy every time she interacted with this child.
Switching her train of thoughts, she realized that she has tremendous amount of power in the Qin family. Therefore, she didn’t have much to worry about. In addition, she was working hard for the Qin family. If it weren’t for her, the Qin family simply wouldn’t be able to support themselves.
After pausing momentarily, Aunt Qin continued, “But you’re no longer young. You ultimately have to think about your own matters and bear a child to carry on the Qin family’s ancestral line as soon as possible.”
Qin Huailing’s gaze was sinister and piercingly cold. He lowered his head and stared at his legs. He said dully, “Aunt, look at me. Which woman wouldn’t turn her back on this?”
“If they dare to turn their backs, I naturally have a way to deal with them.”
“Aunt, you don’t have to worry. When I meet someone who doesn’t despise me, and who isn’t by my side for money, I naturally will consider her.” Despite smiling as he spoke, Qin Huailing’s tone was ominous. Aunt Qin couldn’t even continue talking anymore.
The next day, the second day of the lunar new year, Xie Yaocang and Ji Qiongxin were preparing to leave. They were returning to the Xie household.
Yun Bixue felt reluctant to part with her in-laws. They treated her just like their biological daughter. They allowed her to experience a parent’s care and concern for a child.
Ji Qiongxin also left unwillingly. Here, she felt free and easy. The Xie family had too many rules, and she wasn’t pleased to return at all. However, as the matron, she had responsibilities to shoulder and rules to abide.
Ji Qiongxin placed her luggage by the side, and went over to hug Yun Bixue. She said, “Bixue, my dear child, don’t be sad. We’re returning to discuss your wedding preparations. In the future, we’ll be a family. When you and that child, Limo, return to the family’s base, we can be together everyday.”
“Okay.”
They were returning earlier to negotiate with the stubborn elders of the Xie family. Together with Xie Yaocang, she wanted to offer the couple only the best for this Xie family’s international wedding.
Xie Yaocang was wise and didn’t speak much. He merely patted Xie Limo on the shoulder and advised him to take care of the family. Men should be tolerant and big-hearted. They should also indulge more in their wives.
“Father, I understand. You and mother have had a hard time striving to spend the new year here.” He knew how strict the rules were, so he appreciated everything that his parents had done for him. His heart felt warm, but also aching, but he couldn’t verbalize his feelings.
This was precisely the load on a man’s mind. Only fellow men would be able to comprehend it.
They accompanied Xie Yaocang and Ji Qiongxin on the way to the airplane. Later, they reported their safe landing. Yun Bixue could finally feel at ease. Her family began to get back to their way of life. Nonetheless, there were times when Yun Bixue would wake up expecting to see her mother-in-law, only to recall that she had already left. She felt disappointed, but was glad that she had her younger sister to accompany her. It was still rather lively.
After a short period of time, a police car pulled over at the Yun family’s house. The police officers showed a proof of complaint. It claimed that Old Lady Shen and Yun Mengshi had been domestically abusive, and that they had locked up Yun Mengshi.
