Song Zixiu joked, "Even an ugly daughter-in-law has to see her in-laws. Besides, I don't think I'm that ugly myself."
Lu Kewei was also infected by his ease. Without any hesitation, he quickly opened the door and went upstairs along with the old wooden staircase.
When he reached the second floor, the chandelier in the living room was open, bright as day. It was unknown if he heard a sound or not, but Qin Zheng opened the door from his study and walked out. He wore a pair of reading glasses and was reading a book.
"Aunt, why didn't you inform me of your return in advance?" She pretended to be relaxed, but her heart began to beat like a drum, afraid that Qin Zheng would not like Song Zixiu.
Qin Zheng stood in place as he flipped through a book. He replied, "I told you that I would be back in a few days. After all, the school is about to open, and the event I participated in …" As he said that, he stopped when he saw the man standing beside Lu Kewei.
Qin Zheng seemed to have stopped moving. His hands were still flipping the pages of his book. His facial expression did not change. He narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth slightly.
Only Lu Kewei knew that Qin Zheng was angry when he squinted his eyes. She thought to herself that bringing a man home without any forewarning really made her angry.
Song Zixiu acted as if it was his first time meeting him. He smiled at Qin Zheng and said, "Auntie, hello. I heard from Ke Wei about you many times. Finally, we met."
Qin Zheng only came back to his senses after Song Zixiu took the initiative to speak. He obviously wanted to act, and she could only wear the same attire. She did not want Lu Kangwei to recall what happened the most. However, it was impossible for her to give Song Zixiu any face. She could only reply coldly after hearing him, "I'm sorry, but I don't feel honored at all for being mentioned by Wei to you."
Lu Kewei cursed inwardly. Although Qin Zheng gave people a cold feeling most of the time, he was still very polite. It was very difficult to talk to someone like this. She suddenly didn't understand why Qin Zheng hated Song Zixiu so much the first time she saw him.
Song Zi Xiu didn't seem to hear Qin Zheng's anger and continued to laugh: "Auntie is too modest."
Qin Zheng's face was as cold as the ice and snow in the Arctic Ocean. She didn't want to waste time with Song Zi and Xiu Xu, so she asked him to leave, "You should leave first. I haven't seen my family for a long time, there are some things I want to say to you alone."
Song Zixiu naturally understood how much Qin Zheng detested him. Furthermore, she was the only person in their blood relationship who was related to Lu Kangwei. Naturally, he did not dare to anger her, so he bid her farewell before turning to leave.
Seeing that Song Zixiu had left, Lu Kexi immediately wanted to send her off. However, he was stopped by Qin Zheng's words just as he took a step forward.
"Lu Kewei, stop right there. I have something to say to you." Qin Zheng's voice was like ice. She tossed the book in her hand onto the table in the living room and sat down on the sofa.
Lu Kexin understood how angry Qin Zheng was. Although this aunt of hers was usually silent, she was extremely good to her. This was the first time she had seen someone so angry. She looked at the direction of the stairs before slowly walking to Qin Zheng's side and sitting down.
Qin Zheng was probably too angry. His chest was heaving violently, but he didn't say anything for a long time.
"Aunt, I'm not that young anymore. I have a few children of the same age as you, but I'm only in a relationship right now. Don't be so angry."
Of course, Qin Zheng knew that it must have been Song Zixiu who had taken the initiative to entangle her. She could not blame Lu Kangwei because she already knew that man's methods, let alone now. She really didn't think that the man would still come after her even though he had clearly promised to let her go. Moreover, it was obvious that he hadn't thought of giving up from the start and had only been waiting for the right moment.
Qin Zheng looked at Lu Kewei with a complicated expression, "I've only been gone for two months and I saw you bringing an unfamiliar man home as soon as I got home. Do you think I'm angry?"
After hearing her say that, Lu Kewei wasn't as scared anymore. He cautiously said, "Aunt, isn't it normal to be like this after we've started dating like this? Little Mei changed many boyfriends before, but you never said that she wasn't right?"
Qin Zheng poked her forehead with his index finger and snappily replied: "That's because Little Mei is not my niece. If it were you, I would have died from anger."
Lu Kewei raised his head and said with a fawning smile, "Aunt, he's called Song Zixiu. He's from the Z Country like us." He is handsome, he has money, he is strong himself, and most importantly, he treats me very well. My eyes aren't blind. If I didn't meet such a good person with great difficulty, I wouldn't have fallen in love so easily. "
Qin Zheng suddenly hesitated, not knowing what to say. She pushed Lu Kewei's hand away and stood up, "It's already so late, you should go rest. There are some things that I'll tell you tomorrow."
She had wanted to break up with Song Zixiu immediately, but she hesitated when she saw the happiness on her face. She sighed again and walked into the study, thinking that she couldn't be too hasty. She had to find a suitable time to break up.
As she watched Qin Zheng leave, she thought to herself that she would have to make Song Zixiu work harder in the future. If he could not get Qin Zheng's favor, she would be hesitant even if they were to be together in the future. However, she was still optimistic that Qin Zheng loved her more than anything. If she found out that Song Zixiu was sincere towards her and she persisted, Qin Zheng would agree to let them stay together.
However, not knowing what had happened in his previous life, Lu Kewei was still overly optimistic.
Qin Zheng had returned to the school earlier that day to discuss a topic with another liberal arts professor. When she came out of her office, she saw a familiar person sitting on a bench not too far away. She didn't know how long he had waited. At this time, the sky had already darkened and it was already dark. Qin Zheng did not want to go eat dinner. After all, she wanted to have a good talk with him in the next two days.
Qin Zheng walked up to Song Zixiu, who saw her in advance and greeted her, "Hello, Auntie."
Qin Zheng sat down on the bench and replied in a neutral tone, "I can't afford to call you aunt. You and Kewei have already divorced and the only connection we have is that we don't have anymore."
Song Zi Xiu didn't seem to care about her attitude and just said, "Aunt, it's my fault that I went behind your back to see Ke Wei. But I really can't do without her. Even a baby can't go without her."
Qin Zheng's face turned colder and colder, "Song Zixiu, don't use your baby to get sympathy from me. What I regret the most is agreeing to you two be together. From the beginning to the end, your grandfather has owed us Qin family things, and our family has never owed you anything. "
The more Qin Zheng spoke, the more agitated he became. He was already unable to control himself, "Up until now, we are the only ones left in our family. You still want to take her away from me?" If you really treat her well, I can help but you know best what you did to her. I'm glad that she's still alive right now, otherwise, even if I die, I wouldn't dare to go see her grandfather. "
Song Zixiu pursed his lips and listened to what she had to say. He saw her turn her head to the side, but still said: "Aunt, I was wrong about what happened, but it's also because I want to have her too much. I know it's my responsibility, but this is another opportunity. I want to start over with her. "
Qin Zheng closed her eyes and shook her head, "I never thought you loved her too much. She had your child, so you can't let her leave your side. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten into a car accident when you first met her. "Also, don't forget about your mother. Before you lost your memories, you didn't even know why your mother and father were so adamant about your relationship. I think you should know better than me why."
The bench they were sitting on was under a very tall and leafy tree. Even though the street light was still bright, it still blocked out a large amount of light.
Exhaustion appeared on Qin Zheng's face as he continued, "I've known your mother for dozens of years. Even before you, I've already known her. In the blink of an eye, it should have been around forty years. I know her personality and personality the best. I won't let Ke Wei become her wife, and I can't let him know the consequences of what happened that year. "
Due to his relationship with Lu Kewei, Song Zixiu didn't call Qin Zheng 'aunt' just because he called her. In his heart, he did treat her like a family member. When he heard her attitude soften a little, he hurriedly promised, "Before I came to Edinburgh, my mom already knew my purpose for coming. And no matter how much she objects to it, I don't care. As long as I can be with her, it doesn't matter even if I have to break away from my mother's relationship with her. "What's more, you know that my grandpa is still the head of the family, he has always liked Ke Wei the most."
Song Zixiu was hinting that as long as they had the support of the family head, it didn't matter if his mother was against it or not.
Qin Zheng sighed, the tiredness on her face was obvious. She smiled, but no matter how she looked at it, it was sarcastic. She asked Song Zixiu: "Do you not understand why your grandfather likes Kewei?"
Song Zian was silent for a while.
Qin Zheng put the textbook in her bag and looked as if she was about to leave, "Zi Xiu, no matter what grudge we had, or what happened between you and Ke Wei, everything ended three years ago after that car accident. The Qin family used to be glorious in the past, but now, only I and Kovi remain. She must stay by my side. I don't want to go back, I just want to stay here until I'm old. "
Song Zixiu immediately said, "Aunt, if you don't want to go back, I can bring my baby and you …"
Before he could finish his words, Qin Zheng had already cut him off with a smile. Qin Zheng looked as if he had really heard a big joke, "You'd better not talk too much to fool me. Do you think I'm that gullible? Your family is huge, and in the end most of it was yours. How could you just leave like that? You want to anger your grandpa to death so much that you want to be with your grandpa and Grandpa Ke Wei down there. "
He then stood up and rubbed his glabella, "I'm really tired. Today, I have been researching topics with other professors all day, so I really don't have the energy to talk to you anymore. It's obvious what I mean. I just don't agree with you two being together. If you really feel sorry for your baby, then go back to your country. "
After Qin Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and walked a few steps away. Song Zixiu said: "I came here to help my baby find her mother. If the child is able to understand something, he will pester me to take her mother."
At this time, Qin Zheng stopped walking. She didn't even turn around. She waved her hand and said, "You should go back as soon as possible. I think everything right now is the best arrangement." With that, he left in big strides.
Song Zixiu was still sitting on the bench, his figure lonely and lonely. He knew everything, so he was not at all as optimistic as Lu Kewei. He also knew that this powerful woman, Qin Zheng, would definitely keep her word. It was as if everything had returned to its original point. The future development still depended on Lu Kewei's attitude, but he was still the most unsure of this point.
