âSiting!â At this moment, Mrs. Qin stood up and walked to the bottom of the staircase. She looked at them and then at Shi Niangeâs hand that he was holding. âSince weâre not outsiders, thereâs no need for you to bring her up. Letâs sit down and chat?â
Qin Siting did not seem to hear her. Shi Niange did not speak either. She only turned back to look.
Mrs. Qin looked in her direction and smiled at her. âYoung lady, last year... did you buy the medicine for me?â
Shi Niange glanced at Qin Siting again. Seeing that he only walked up and did not speak, she did not speak carelessly.
Qin Sitingâs grip was slightly strong, causing her wrist to hurt. Shi Niange knew that she had been too rash earlier and felt that she was in the wrong, so she did not speak. He brought her upstairs.
When she returned to the room, she was directly pushed in by Qin Siting. After staggering back a few steps, she heard the sound of the door being slammed shut.
Shi Niange had just stood firm when the bottle in her hand was snatched away. Qin Siting placed the heavy glass bottle on the table by the side and looked down at her.
He was already much taller than her. Right now, Shi Niangeâs aura was a little weak. His aura was too cold. For some reason, she felt that she was being looked down on by Almighty Qin...
Especially in this atmosphere.
Too serious.
She blinked and thought for a moment before admitting her mistake. âIâm sorry.â
Qin Siting looked at her for a long time and stared into her eyes. âDidnât I tell you not to go down?â
Shi Niange did not explain. She only looked at him and said again, âIâm sorry, Qin Siting.â
He knew that she was worried about him. She was afraid that something would happen to him. However, when she was being questioned, she did not explain anything and only apologized.
Qin Sitingâs handsome brows furrowed slightly. Shi Niange raised her hand and tugged at his sleeve. âAlthough I know that there are a lot of things that I have no choice but to do, I still want to say it. Qin Siting, if itâs possible, letâs stay outside together. The Qin family is in such a state right now, and itâs not suitable for you to come back.... I know that a son and a daughter are different. There are many things I donât have to consider about my family, but youâre the Qin familyâs son. You canât ignore it, but you shouldnât have to bear with all of this.â
âI donât have any choice. I wonât go.â Qin Siting finally said the only positive response he had today.
Shi Niange was finally relieved by his words. âThen now you....â
âIâll leave when Yamamotoâs people leave Hai City.â Even though she was a young lady like a little sun, she felt down because of him. Her eyes were red, but she did not dare to cry in front of him.
It was clear how scared she was in the room earlier. However, even if she was scared, she still rushed out.
Qin Siting touched her head again. âAll right, even if you went down just now, itâs fine. At most, she would ask a few more questions. Sheâs not Yamamoto. She wonât do anything to you.â
âShe only hopes that everyone can fulfill her love that came out of nowhere. She also hopes that you can follow her to Japan. She wants you, her son, to support her in the future. She doesnât wish to do anything else. Right now, she has only been blinded by love, hasnât she?â Shi Niange asked carefully word by word, trying not to mention any sensitive topics.
Qin Siting clearly could not judge his mother, but he still nodded.
She was not a saint. Perhaps his mother had been conscientiously taking care of her child and taking care of the company in the Qin family more than twenty years ago. Perhaps there had never been any mistakes in all aspects. However, she had grown numb to life in her middle age. Then, suddenly, another person intruded into her life and opened the door to a new world, so she wanted to do things without hesitation.
If she wanted a divorce and wanted to pursue what she wanted, no one would stop her. However, she did not want to give up on her son, Qin Siting.
Shi Niange suddenly walked forward and approached him. She spread her arms in front of him and hugged his waist. She stood in his arms and said in a muffled voice, âWhat happened to the loud noise downstairs?â
The air was quiet for a moment. Qin Siting said, âAfter much consideration, she still decided to come back to talk to me. Yamamoto disagreed and drove back. The two of them argued in front of the door. Yamamoto couldnât persuade my mother, so he smashed the protective door in anger and left.â
âNo wonder it was so loud.â
âWhat did you think it was? Did you think we were fighting?â
Hearing her words, Qin Siting almost laughed from anger. He pressed her head. âAll right, stay in the room obediently.â
Shi Niange nodded, looking as though she would not run out of the room even if there were an earthquake.
Qin Siting turned to leave when there was a knock on the door. He had already walked to the door and opened it to see Mrs. Qin standing outside.
He looked at her without speaking.
However, Mrs. Qin walked past him and looked at Shi Niange, who was standing inside. She smiled gently at her. âYoung lady, you recognized me, right?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qin Sitingâs mother looked like a beautiful and opinionated woman. Her eyes were clear, and she was a very smart person. When she spoke, she was very gentle and did not have any enmity. If the matter of her having an affair was put aside, Shi Niange felt that she was a very good mother. But now..., it was not easy for her to evaluate her. She could only nod politely at her.
âAre you and Siting dating?â Mrs. Qin still looked at her and asked softly.
Before Shi Niange could answer, Qin Siting had already blocked in front of Mrs. Qin expressionlessly. He said coldly, âIt has nothing to do with her. Donât look for her.â
âIâm not going to do anything to her. Itâs just that youâre already so old. This is the first time Iâve seen you bring a girl home. No matter what, Iâm still your mother...â
She was about to enter but was still blocked by Qin Siting in front of the door. He did not give her a chance to approach Shi Niange.
Shi Niange stood in the room and looked at Mrs. Qin. She did not speak at first. But, seeing that she really seemed to want to talk to her, she could guess what she wanted to talk about.
She felt that she could not move her son, so she wanted to play the emotional card with her.
A woman who was easily swayed by feelings, when faced with such a difficult Qin Siting, the best solution she could think of was probably to play the emotional card on the person he cared about.
Shi Niange walked behind Qin Siting and looked at Mrs. Qin. She said softly, âAuntie, everyone, no matter what stage of their lives, has the right to pursue the life they want. They also have the right to pursue love. I can understand you.â
