After Deng Weixia and Qi Fengping each returned home, Liu Wenjing was left feeling restless, with a deep worry between her brows that wouldnât disperse.
Cheng Su saw it and felt helpless; people are like that, her demeanor also revealed her guilt and weakness.
"With things having reached this point, thereâs no point in talking about regret; you can only endure it," Cheng Su advised.
But such comfort was just comfort, Liu Wenjing could only smile wryly.
Just as they expected, Deng Weixiaâs appearance certainly caused an uproar, stormy waves; not to mention how the Deng familyâs eldest aunt went crazy and caused trouble, the Qi family was also shocked upon hearing Qi Fengpingâs words.
Mother Qi had the biggest reaction, jumping up and cursing at the sky, "These two sinners dare to appear, dare to have a child. Oh my, arenât they afraid of the thunderclap from the clear sky, how shameless they are..."
Qi Fengpingâs face turned green as she listened.
Since the New Year till now, she had lived with Cheng Su for almost half a year, almost every day going in and out with her, learning her mannerisms, her knowledge, and insight had all improved a level. Now, hearing Mother Qiâs vicious cursing, she only felt it was coarse and unpleasant.
"Mom, thatâs also Auntieâs son, donât curse, who are you cursing here!" Qi Fengping interrupted her.
Mother Qi was cursing vigorously on her own, but hearing this, she felt a bit displeased and glared at her, saying, "You dead girl, after living in the city for so many days, are you putting on airs with your mother?"
"What I said is also true, isnât it? Thatâs your own nephew, now that heâs back, we should be thankful, why curse!"
"You..."
"Alright, listen to what Fengping is saying!" Father Qi stopped her.
Mother Qi had no choice but to calm down.
Qi Fengping started to recount the events from the moment the two appeared till now, knowing now that Cheng Su arranged Deng Weixia to work in the restaurant kitchen, Mother Qi and the others were also taken aback.
"She really knows how to do a favor." Mother Qi said sheepishly.
Qi Fengping rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, my sister-in-law said you should persuade Auntie more. She said..." Then continued, repeating Cheng Suâs instructions, saying, "Things are irreversible now, continuing to torment them is more harm than good, if you really push them to the ends of the earth, Auntie will truly end up spending a lifetime with cousin!"
Mother Qiâs expression changed, "Weixia dares!"
Qi Fengping snorted and said, "They dared eloping, what wouldnât they dare, the pot is already broken!"
Father Qi said, "I think the Taiguo daughter-in-law is right. Your elder sister, no matter how stubborn, has to bow down eventually. Otherwise, with Weiqiu getting married, nobody would want her, really thinking of her as an old maid?"
Mother Qi sighed; how could she not know?
"Elder sisterâs temper is so stubborn, alas."
Father Qi started smoking and said, "Things being facts, stubbornness doesnât beat reality, your elder sister, if she insists, it would be foolish. Besides, Weixiaâs matter was widely spread back then, even if she doesnât accept Wenjing as a daughter-in-law, in the future, which familyâs girl would want to marry Weixia? She must think for the child!"
Mother Qi fell silent, after a long while she said, "Itâs all that Liu Wenjingâs fault, Weixia was such a good, honest guy, I think she was the one being improper, seducing her brother-in-law."
Father Qi and Qi Fengping both shook their heads, neither speaking anymore, any wise person knows thereâs no better choice than compromise in this matter.
