Qin Mingzhu felt a bit uncomfortable, even sensing the tolerance coming from her sister.
"It’s like I’m not part of this, of you guys? We’re no longer judging the matters of the elders; my mom and your mom have both been laid to rest, but between us, shouldn’t all the grudges be over?"
Qin Mu asked her, probing.
Qin Mingzhu’s eyes imdiately welled up with tears, and as Qin Mu calmly analyzed everything between them, her eyes moistened and she nodded vigorously: "Mhm!"
"Sis!"
Qin Mingzhu suddenly dragged a chair and sat beside her, hugging her waist and calling her while sobbing.
Qin Mu still dared not acknowledge this call of sister, but she knew in her heart she could no longer do anything about this girl.
"I’ll go apologize to Auntie, it was my immaturity back then that led to such a blunder."
"You also have to forgive for all the things I did to wrong you! But from now on, I’ll listen to whatever you say. Just give the command, and I’ll do as you say!"
"If you keep being so clingy, I’ll have to leave."
Qin Mu couldn’t stand her crying incessantly and softly reminded her.
Only then did Qin Mingzhu get up from her body, but when it was ti to eat, she sat next to her.
Mu Yichen was over there socializing, and halfway through his al, he got bored and ca downstairs, hearing that Qin Mu was there. Yet, he first encountered Bian Jingwen’s table.
"Mr. Mu!"
Bian Jingwen saw him about to walk towards Qin Mu and stood up to greet him, very polite and poised, like a well-trained lady of noble birth.
Mu Yichen glanced sideways at her, then said nothing and intended to leave.
"Brother-in-law!"
Who knew he’d hear that familiar call again.
Even Qin Mu felt like she had returned to the first ti she ca to Rongcheng to make an appearance when Qin Mingzhu suddenly approached her, indifferently and sharply-tongued.
Past events seem like smoke!
And that call of brother-in-law, although Mu Yichen later explained it was because of her, at the ti, Qin Mingzhu called him brother-in-law because of Jing Qing.
In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed.
Jing Qing is now living in another city, and they have their own lovely children and a warm family.
And Qin Mingzhu, she has already beco a mother too!
Qin Mingzhu put down her chopsticks and ran over, hugging his arm just like before and greeting him playfully, calling him brother-in-law, then turned her head to glance coldly at the instantly embarrassed Bian Jingwen.
Mu Yichen could see her intention, so he didn’t stop her and went with her to their table.
"When did you return?"
Mu Yichen asked Qin Mingzhu after sitting next to Qin Mu.
"This morning! After seeing Dad, I ca straight to have a al with my sister!"
Qin Mingzhu spoke happily, like a child.
Looking at it this way, everything was indeed developing according to Mu Yichen’s expectations; one day, Qin Mingzhu truly called Qin Mu her sister, and he truly beca a legitimate brother-in-law.
"Eat first, then have your sister pay for it."
Mu Yichen seed to enjoy being called brother-in-law, so he quickly accepted that Qin Mingzhu found Qin Mu to treat her.
Yet Qin Mu thought she was the one being treated to a al.
After all, she was the one called over, and it was Qin Mingzhu who made the call.
But, clearly, she was tricked by Qin Mingzhu again.
"Has brother-in-law eaten? If not, join us!"
Qin Mingzhu called him and asked thoughtfully.
Qin Mu felt as though there was sothing wrong with her ears; Qin Mingzhu was so good at pleasing people?
"No, you two eat, and after you’re done, you go rest at ho. This afternoon, your sister and I have more important things to do!"
"Uh! But I wanted to go to my sister’s shop to pick out so clothes this afternoon."
"Choose whatever clothes you like and put them on your brother-in-law’s tab. Your sister won’t be going!"
Qin Mu sat beside them, feeling like an outsider being pushed around.
Qin Mingzhu was tempted, but she still wanted to be with Qin Mu, yet looking at Mu Yichen’s face, she didn’t dare ask for too much.
"Oh!"
"I also have to check on the store this afternoon, is it urgent?"
Qin Mu noticed Qin Mingzhu lowering her head in dissatisfaction, then casually asked Mu Yichen, as if they were having a casual chat.
"Does sleeping count as urgent?"
Mu Yichen leaned back in his chair, hands clasped on his legs, turning to look at Qin Mu, asking her very seriously.
Qin Mu...
