Chapter 192
Qin Yuyang hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.
"Because even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me; you'd just think I'm making excuses for myself."
"......" Qin Yuchen stood to the side, his chest tightening.
His younger brother is disobedient and immature, but he's not actually that unreasonable of a brat; it's his fault for not asking the reason clearly and letting his brother suffer injustice.
Liushutong felt even worse inside, she slowly squatted down, lifted her face to look at that face which was very similar to Qin Yuchen's.
Although she and Qin Yuchen were not yet married, they had been together for who knows how many years; Qin Yuyang was also someone she had watched grow up, and after the engagement she took the initiative to help the Qin Family teach Qin Yuyang.
She never imagined there would be a day when she couldn't even manage the most basic trust.
"Sorry, Yuyang, it's my fault as your sister-in-law; I scolded you without asking the reason, it's my mistake."
She didn't think apologizing for a mistake was shameful, nor did she think adults were always right; previously her thinking was narrow, but now her sincere apology is actually much better than what most people do.
For example, Qin Yuchen among most people.
After Qin Yuyang forgave Liushutong, he turned his gaze toward Qin Yuchen, who had been staring at him.
Qin Yuchen quietly said: "That classmate of yours will never appear at school again; from now on, if anything happens, you must tell us, don't act on your own."
He still spoke in an educating tone, with a condescending attitude; Liushutong glanced at the somewhat dejected Qin Yuyang, stood up, and slapped Qin Yuchen's back.
"If you made a mistake, you should apologize; does saying sorry cost you your life?"
Qin Yuchen was slapped unexpectedly, frowned, and said: "I didn't do anything wrong."
"You slandered Yuyang, and that's not wrong? I'm telling you, stop with this male chauvinism, or else see how I'll deal with you."
As soon as Liushutong spoke, Wen Ling and Zhou Yinhe, who were watching the show from the side, both turned away, their joined hands constantly scratching each other.
Qin Yuchen remained silent for a long time, but still couldn't bear Liushutong's gaze; he squatted down, looked at Qin Yuyang, took a breath as mental preparation, and softly said: "Brother, I apologize to you."
Just that sentence? No apology words, Liushutong lifted her foot and poked Qin Yuchen's leg with her pointed high-heel.
Qin Yuchen paused, then continued: "Sorry, Yuyang."
Qin Yuyang pressed his lips, burst out again, carefully put the little grunt on the ground, and lunged into Qin Yuchen's arms: "Brother."
"Mm." Qin Yuchen sighed, rubbed Qin Yuyang's head, and said: "If you encounter such a thing in the future, don't act on your own, got it?"
"I know, my older female cousin taught me that."
Qin Yuchen lifted his eyes to look at Wen Ling, saw that Wen Ling and Zhou Yinhe were standing somewhat apart, secretly laughing at that moment, and realized they were happy because Liushutong had scolded him.
He didn't think it was a big deal; which man isn't afraid of his wife? Zhou Yinhe isn't afraid either? Wen Ling nags him all day like scolding a dog, yet he still obediently listens; I heard yesterday she even bit him until he cried, he only got a couple of remarks, but Zhou Yinhe gets beaten every day.
If Wen Ling and Liushutong knew his thought, they'd really laugh at him, even comparing whether it's better to be beaten or scolded.
After finally coaxing Qin Yuyang to stop crying, Qin Lao came to apologize, but being an elder, his simple "I was wrong to blame you" made the just-stopped-crying Qin Yuyang start crying again.
Kids, crying a little seems oddly cute, but constant crying becomes annoying.
Wen Ling was annoyed, Zhou Yinhe even more so; he frowned and said: "Enough, let's end it, if you keep crying it'll be pointless."
"...... Oh" Qin Yuyang wiped his tears, stood up properly.
Qin Yuchen patted Qin Yuyang's head, saying: "Since it's a misunderstanding, I'll take you back; I'll talk to the school side, you can study in peace."
Qin Yuyang gave his expectant gaze to Zhou Yinhe, Zhou Yinhe tossed him a reassuring look, and lightly said: "We'll take him to Guishan, and let him go to school after we return."
"......" Qin Yuchen looked at Wen Ling, Wen Ling also said the same, so he had to lower his head and ask Qin Yuyang: "Do you want to go?"
Qin Yuyang nodded, his eyes full of sparkle.
He had traveled abroad with his family, and also visited some famous domestic scenic spots; hearing that some areas of Guishan have poor living conditions, he wanted to see for himself.
Qin Yuchen could only agree, and left together with Liushutong.
Qin Yuyang stood at the doorway watching their car's tail, excitedly shouting "Oh yeah!"
Wen Ling stood beside him, heard his voice, looked down at him, and amusedly said: "Actually you just don't want to go to school, right?"
"Mm, older sister, did you like going to school when you were a student?" Qin Yuyang had become much more affectionate toward Wen Ling, and the two words "older sister" came out easily.
Wen Ling wasn't particularly surprised, she propped her chin and thought seriously, then said: "I liked it, because school had many classmates to play with and many handsome guys; let me tell you, back when I was in school I had lots of handsome guys chasing me."
The more she spoke, the more she went on, the more outrageous it became, without realizing someone had been standing behind her for a long time.
Upon hearing Wen Ling say: "If I hadn't later come to Hua Guo, I would definitely have chosen the most handsome blond, blue-eyed guy to date." Zhou Yinhe's face had already darkened to the extreme.
He lightly said: "Really?"
Wen Ling and Qin Yuyang were both startled, especially Wen Ling, who felt her heartbeat had stopped.
She slowly came to her senses, seeing Zhou Yinhe's expression, she felt the sky was about to collapse again, and she would suffer again.
Wen Ling was just talking big; her aesthetic standards don't allow her to like foreigners' looks, and her taste is extremely high, ordinary looks don't even catch her eye, so in the many years before meeting Zhou Yinhe, there truly wasn't anyone she thought was very handsome and good-looking, including her childhood friend Lu Zhaoye and her cousin Qin Yuchen; in Wen Ling's eyes, they were merely somewhat above average.
Only Zhou Yinhe, this face is practically her sweet spot; just a glance from the corner of her eye back then could make her whole body go numb with pleasure.
Zhou Yinhe crossed his arms, coldly stared at Wen Ling, let out a cold snort and turned to leave; Wen Ling didn't care if Qin Yuyang would see her as a joke, she hurriedly ran after him and tightly hugged his waist to keep him from leaving.
"I was just joking, you know my taste better than anyone; how could I really go after those people?"
Zhou Yinhe lowered his gaze to look at her hands wrapped around his waist, and said coldly: "I'm not really clear on what your taste is like."
"How could you not know?" Wen Ling turned to face him, still tightly hugging Zhou Yinhe's waist, and said seriously: "I only love you, whose every feature and every tiny pore grows exactly within my aesthetic."
Zhou Yinhe curled his lips, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
"What if someone shows up who looks exactly like me?"
