Chapter 1731: This Touched His Bottom Line
Not to mention Qiu Shaocheng and Qiu Shaomei, even Qiu Fu and Qiu Mu never expected such a result.
Although she knew that job was originally one Liu Chuxue had traded her own position for her sister, hearing it had been given to someone else still made her unable to accept it.
Seeing their expressions, Qiu Shaofeng knew what they were thinking: "Do you think I am being heartless, favoring an outsider and not thinking of you?"
Seeing them stay silent, he continued: "Do you know that no matter the reason, this commotion of yours, how will others view Xia Qiu?
How can she stand her ground at school?
Have you considered how my father-in-law's family will view me after this family disturbance? It is not that they could do nothing about you, but that they did not wish to harm the harmony between our two families.
Today I took Xia Qiu to the hospital for a checkup, and the result was that she is pregnant, but the doctor said her emotions were too unstable today, which is very bad for the fetus.
The most important point is that if I had not arrived in time today, and she had truly been pushed to the ground, could the child in her belly still be saved?
As the eldest son of our branch, I consider myself to have done right by everyone. I owe my parents for raising me; when they grow old, I will pay my share without missing a penny, but as for anything else, do not even think about it."
Upon hearing these words, Qiu Fu's eyes were filled with shock: "Shaofeng, does this mean you are abandoning the family?"
Qiu Shaofeng looked at the crowd: "It is not abandoning, it is only managing what I should manage."
Qiu Shaofeng's stubborn attitude was something the Qiu family had never seen before.
But thinking of Xia Qiu, who had almost met with disaster, they also understood that this had touched his bottom line.
Although this incident was not Qiu Fu and Qiu Mu's intention, at this point, saying more would be of no help: "Eldest, I understand your meaning. This matter is ultimately the family's fault towards you and towards Xia Qiu. Rest assured, in the future, unless it involves matters concerning you and your mother, we will not easily seek you out.
Go back and take good care of Xia Qiu, and live your own small life well."
An Xiaojing wanted to say something, but was held back by Qiu Shaocheng beside her.
After Qiu Shaofeng left, An Xiaojing also exploded: "What do you mean by this? Do you think because the An family is in trouble, no one will help us?"
Hearing these words, Qiu Mu's face immediately turned cold: "Put your hand on your conscience and ask, have we not treated you well? You instigated your brother to run to their school?
It is fortunate that your sister-in-law is unharmed. If something had truly happened, your eldest brother would not have this attitude, and the Xiao family would not have let it go. What the outcome would have been, you can think about it yourselves."
An Xiaojing also felt the events at her natal home were too coincidental, but she could do nothing.
Qiu Fu spoke again at this moment: "I will set Shaomei's wedding date as soon as possible."
Qiu Shaomei did not expect it to involve her; she did not speak out in opposition, after all, she was indeed not young at her age.
Just as Qiu Shaofeng prepared to leave, he was blocked by his eldest uncle's wife, Ruan Xiaocao, who had rushed back upon hearing the news: "Shaofeng, Shaohu is your own cousin; you grew up together since childhood. You cannot abandon him."
Qiu Shaofeng broke free from her pulling: "Eldest Aunt, I cannot help him. After all, his charge this time is assaulting a police officer; I do not have that capability."
Ruan Xiaocao still wanted to make a scene, but the single glance from Qiu Laifeng, who had chased back behind her, suppressed her: "Are you not ashamed yet?"
Qiu Laifeng, this eldest uncle, was a smart man. He knew that no matter what happened this time, Qiu Shaofeng would not help them; if he truly dared to help, he would probably lose his wife too.
