Chapter 113: Let’s Hear About Your Vicious Scheme
Mrs. Qin watched them all leave, then turned to her daughter-in-law.
"Don’t pay them any mind. They won’t call the police."
Fu Mingxue replied nonchalantly, "Mom, I’d almost wish for them to call the police. That Zhao Sisi is just so irritating."
"To think a girl that pretty could have such a warped personality."
"Mom, I’m sorry for causing you and the family trouble."
"What’s there to be sorry about? You were in the right, after all. If you weren’t, you can be sure I’d have something to say about it. How are the two children?"
"They can say ’Grandma’ now." Fu Mingxue swore—this time, it had really just slipped out.
It wasn’t intentional.
Mrs. Qin did indeed feel a pang of jealousy—she had looked after them for several days, after all, yet the two children had never spoken a word.
Now, after just two or three nights with their other grandmother, they were already calling her ’Grandma’.
She said with a hint of sourness, "—It’s good that they’re starting to talk. It’s not considered too late for them to be speaking now."
"Mom, I’m teaching them to say ’Grandma’ now."
The sour look on Mrs. Qin’s face vanished in an instant.
But she couldn’t keep a smile from spreading across her face.
"Since you’re here, why don’t you stay for dinner?"
"I can’t, I should get back and eat with them! Mom, I’m going to head back now. My mother is home by herself."
Mrs. Qin had to agree.
"You should hurry back, then. Don’t worry about the Zhao family. I’ll take care of it. I won’t let that Zhao Sisi bother you again."
Fu Mingxue actually wanted to say that it wasn’t a problem.
She wasn’t afraid of the Zhao family, after all.
However, she decided to accept her mother-in-law’s kind gesture.
"Mom, thank you for worrying about me. But you don’t need to go looking for them. There’s no need to engage with them at all."
After saying goodbye to her mother-in-law, she left the Qin Family Mansion.
Only after she saw Fu Mingxue leave did Qin Wenying come downstairs.
She said to Mrs. Qin, "Don’t bother going to the Zhao family’s home. I’ll go myself."
Without waiting for Mrs. Qin to agree, she headed straight for the door.
Mrs. Qin: ...?
She wanted to tell her not to go, but Wen Ying was already out of the courtyard.
All she could do was shout after her retreating figure, "Take it easy! Don’t blow it out of proportion—"
Qin Wenying didn’t reply, simply giving a wave of her hand to show she understood.
’I’m a civilized person,’ she thought. ’I’m going to the Zhao family to talk some sense into them, not for a brawl.’
Meanwhile, the Zhao family was still fuming.
After the mother and daughter’s tirade, the whole Zhao family was seeing red.
"Mom, there’s no need to go to the Qin family’s home anymore. How hard can it be to take care of one person? Isn’t she about to start university? Hah. Then let’s make sure she never makes it there."
The one who said this was Zhao Cheng, Zhao Sisi’s second older brother.
He was known for his rather insidious methods.
Before any of the Zhao family could even agree with this fine idea, a mocking voice suddenly rang out:
"Well, listen to you talk so big! Come on, tell me. How exactly are you going to stop my sister-in-law from going to university?"
The expressions on the faces of the Zhao family members changed instantly.
They all turned in unison toward the door. When they saw that it was really Qin Wenying, every one of their faces turned foul.
"Qin Wenying, what are you doing at our house?" Zhao Cheng asked.
Qin Wenying sneered. "If I hadn’t come, I never would’ve known about your vicious little plan, Zhao Cheng! Good thing I showed up, huh? So come on, Zhao Cheng. You were saying? How are you going to stop my sister-in-law from going to university? I’m listening—"
Zhao Cheng forced a smile. "Qin Wenying, you must have misheard. How could I say something like that? I was just trying to comfort my sister. Look at her face. As her older brother, of course it pains me to see her like this—"
