Chapter 35: Acceptance is not the same as forgiveness

"Qin Chu!"

Before Xu Wanwan made his second move, Qin Qian rushed up and hugged Qin Chu into his arms.

She hugged Qin Chu and looked down at his white side face turning red and floating.

"Don't be afraid, Mommy is here. Qin Qian hugged him, holding his little face, distressed.

Seeing Qin Chu's face swollen, but she gritted her teeth and did not shed a single tear, her eyes were full of vigilance, and she kept whispering to him, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

"Wow woo woo woo ......" Zhai Ruoying's little face was full of tears, and her cute little face wrinkled together, so it didn't make people feel distressed.

Zhong Meiqin hugged Zhai Ruoying and coaxed gently, "Xiao Ying is good, Xiao Ying doesn't cry, is it okay for grandma to buy a gift for Xiao Ying?"

"Why don't you protect Xiao Ying?!How can you let her fall?!" Xu Wanwan pointed sharply at Qin Chu, "What's wrong with her?Who told you to call her up?!"

"What the hell is going on?" Zhang Xiupian was on the side, watching her granddaughter crying with pear blossoms and rain, distressed but unable to hold her from Zhong Meiqin's arms and coax, "Why did you fall?"

"It's not him yet?!" Xu Wanwan glared at Qin Chu angrily.

Qin Qian took one of Qin Chu's hands, wrapped it in her palm, and got up to block him behind him.

"I said don't ask Xiao Hotaru to stay with him! How can a wild seed born outside by an unruly woman take care of Xiao Hotaru!" Xu Wanwan's face was full of contempt and disdain.

"Qin Chu, come over and apologize to Xiao Hotaru. Zhong Meiqin hugged Zhai Ruoying in her arms and coaxed softly, "Okay, Xiaoying, great-grandma asked Qin Chu to come over and apologize to you, okay? Xiaoying doesn't cry, it won't be beautiful if she cries again!"

"Apologize, what's the use of apologizing! You shouldn't let him in the door!" Xu Wanwan was angry, glaring at Qin Qian's mother and son, and she didn't know if this sentence was said to Qin Chu or to Qin Qian.

"What's going on?" Zhai Junlin went to answer a phone call, and saw that everyone was in a mess, his eyes swept over Zhai Ruoying's eyelashes that were still hanging from tears, and fell on Qin Chu's puffy cheeks, and his eyes sank slightly.

Qin Qian turned around, squatted down facing Qin Chu, held Qin Chu's small hand, and said softly, "Xiao Chu, if we do something wrong, we have to apologize." ”

Feeling the resistance and silence of the little guy's clenched palms, she said, "But if it's not Xiao Chu's fault, you can tell the truth." It's not our fault, we don't apologize. Can you tell your mom what's going on?"

"Sister Hotaru asked for my pen, and I said no, I have to give it to her when I finish my homework. She came to grab it, accidentally drew my homework book, and when she saw that I was unhappy, she didn't rob me and went to play by herself. I was doing my homework, I didn't pay attention, I don't know how Hotaru-chan fell off the sofa. ”

Although Qin Chu is small, his logical thinking is still very clear.

"Okay. Mom got it. Now my mother wants to ask if Sister Hotaru is like this, is it okay?" she held Qin Chu's hand and whispered, "No matter what happens, with your mother here, you won't let people bully you." ”

Qin Chu nodded.

She turned around and wanted to ask Zhai Ruoying, but after glancing at Xu Wanwan, she was afraid that she would do something to Qin Chu.

When he was in a dilemma, Zhai Junlin took a long step and walked up to Qin Chu, firmly blocking the little guy behind him.

Seeing this, Qin Qian glanced at Zhai Junlin and was a little grateful.

Qin Chu, who was behind the man, couldn't help but move behind the man, and his little hand gently pinched his trouser leg.

After all, he is still a child, and he will still be scared in the face of so many scoldings from adults.

There was a tall man willing to cover him, and the little one's heart couldn't help but want to lean on.

"Hotaru-chan. Because Zhai Ruoying was shorter, Qin Qian tried to lower himself as much as possible, "Can you tell your aunt what happened just now?"

Zhai Ruoying pursed her lips and was silent, tears rolling in her eyes.

"She fell and hurt, what are you still asking her to do?!" Xu Wanwan was dissatisfied, and stretched out her hand to take Zhai Ruoying away.

"Sister-in-law, it's better to figure things out. Zhai Junlin stretched out his hand to block Xu Wanwan's movements.

"How else do you find out? Isn't it obvious yet? It's Hotaru who gets hurt!"

"Don't be afraid, Hotatsu, it's okay. You can tell your aunt, if your brother did something wrong and bullied Hotaru, can your aunt ask your brother to apologize to you and buy you a gift to make amends?"

After a pause, he added, "But if it's not my brother's fault, Hotaru will also tell my aunt." Otherwise, my brother will be criticized, punished, and sad. Hotaru wants her brother to be punished, is it sad?"

Zhai Ruoying sobbed softly in Zhong Meiqin's arms, blinking, her long and curled eyelashes hung with broken tears, and she turned her head to look at it for a while before shaking her head gently.

The little girl shook her head with a twitch, "Brother didn't bully Hotaru. Hotaru wants her brother's pen, and her brother will give it to her for a while, and Hotaru likes it, so she wants it. ”

Saying that, she lowered her head, as if she knew that she had made a mistake, "Hotaru is not well-behaved, she accidentally drew her brother's notebook, Hotaru doesn't want her brother to be unhappy, and she wants to erase it for her brother." Hotaru can't climb up to the table and wants to build a small sofa......"

Hearing this, Qin Qian lowered his head, found a small eraser on the ground, picked it up and asked, "Xiao Ying wants to use the eraser to help my brother erase the book of painting flowers." It's just that Hotaru didn't stand firm and fell?"

Zhai Ruoying nodded and buried her head, as if she had done something wrong, whether she had made up for it, and she fell down, a little embarrassed.

"Okay, thank you Hotaru. Hotaru is an honest child. My brother won't blame Hotaru for drawing a flower book, and my aunt won't blame my brother. Qin Qian smiled and nodded at the little girl.

raised her eyes and looked at Zhong Meiqin, "Grandma, can you let someone take Xiaoying to wash her face?"

It's not Qin Chu's fault, Xiao Ying is fine, Zhong Meiqin saw that the little girl really had a little face like a flower cat, so she asked Zhang Xiulian to take Xiao Ying away.

"Okay, everything is clear, and there's nothing going on!" Zhong Meiqin also got up and prepared to walk towards the living room.

After hearing this, although Xu Wanwan was a little embarrassed, she still insisted that it was Qin Chu's fault, "Isn't it just a pen?

Originally, Qin Qian didn't plan to do this, after all, everyone pointed the fault at Qin Chu.

Even if she was like this in the past, she didn't allow others to do the same to Qin Chu.

Hearing Xu Wanwan's words, Qin got up suddenly, looked over Xu Wanwan's shoulder, and saw that Zhang Xiulian had already taken Zhai Ruoying into the bathroom.

raised his hand and directly slapped Xu Wanwan twice.

The two sounds of "popping" are crisp and loud.

was so shocked that Zhong Meiqin couldn't help but pause and turn back.

"Qin Qian!" Xu Wanwan covered her face, shocked, like Zhang Yunqian, who was slapped by her at the beginning, and roared angrily.

"Wanwan!" After finishing speaking, Zhai Jundong, who had just walked to the stairs, happened to see the two slaps, and hurriedly stepped forward, leaving Xu Wanwan behind him, his eyes were also heavy, and his eyebrows were slightly angry, "Xiaolin!"

Zhai Junlin took half a step forward slightly, invisibly protecting Qin Qian within his range.

Zhai Junhao, who was spread out on the sofa closest to the balcony, raised his head when he heard the sound, "Wow", and "tsk" twice, "It's so handsome!"

I don't know if he is talking about Qin Qian, Zhai Jundong, or Zhai Junlin.

"Xiao Hao!" Zhong Meiqin turned around and called him reproachfully, meaning that he should not get involved in a big matter.

"The first slap is to repay the beating you just gave to Qin Chu, and the second slap is for you to slander Qin Chu as a wild seed. As for the things you scolded me for, for the sake of you being my sister-in-law, I don't care about you, forgive you!"

"Qin Chu is my son, not a wild seed!, please pay attention to your words and upbringing!" Qin Qian met Zhai Jundong's sharp and cold gaze and looked directly at him without fear.

She turned around and pulled Qin Chu out, and her cold gaze fell on Xu Wanwan in Zhai Jundong's arms, "My son has been playing with your daughter for so long, thank you and I don't need you to say it." But your daughter drew my son's homework book, and now, please apologize to your daughter for your misunderstanding with him just now!"

"Isn't it just a homework book? I'll just buy one and compensate him?!" Xu Wanwan knew that she was at a loss, not to mention that the old lady, there were so many people who were watching from the side, and she couldn't say anything, "Besides, if you behave properly, there will be a wild ...... him."

"Wanwan!"

At this time, even Zhai Jundong couldn't help but interrupt her words with a low roar, for fear that if she continued to talk about it, the matter would make a bigger fuss.

It doesn't matter whose child Qin Chu is, even if he is not Zhai Junlin's, it can't be Qin Chu's.

Otherwise, the old man would not tolerate his existence, although he didn't know what was going on with the original paternity test. He only knew that the old man would never leave an inappropriate person in the Zhai family!

In the past, Qin Qian didn't care, everyone talked about it, and it was over.

But she cares now, if she has to say a word or two, Xu Wanwan is not on top, not to mention that in the famous family, Xu Wanwan's behavior just now does not have the demeanor that a celebrity should have.

"Is it okay to pay one?" Qin Qian chuckled, "Very good, it's okay." ”

Her reaction stunned a few people, do you really need to pay for a homework book?

"Then ask my sister-in-law to buy an identical one now, and then complete the homework book today and the homework written before, so that Qin Chu can give the homework to the teacher well and not be asked and criticized. Qin Qian looked at Xu Wanwan, his face was indifferent, and the unyielding coldness in his eyes made the air gradually condense.

"You just did it on purpose!" asked her to catch up with her homework for a primary school student, like something!

Qin Qian was noncommittal.

Put his hands on Qin Chu's shoulders, staring at Xu Wanwan, his face was resolute and undeniable, "Xiao Ying is your daughter, you treat her as a palm treasure, I can understand that you are distressed and anxious." But please also understand, sister-in-law, Qin Chu is my son, and he is also my baby. I will never allow anyone to wronged and hurt him!"

She didn't ask for it again, she didn't even move the steps for her, she just looked at Xu Wanwan like this, and waited for her to do it herself!

In the end, Zhai Jundong spoke, "Wanwan, apologize to Qin Chu." ”

"Jundong!" Xu Wanwan looked at Zhai Jundong in shock, angry.

"Apologize!" Zhai Jundong's face sank.

Xu Wanwan squirmed for a while before muttering, "I'm sorry." ”

"It's too quiet to hear. Qin Qian said coldly, "Who are you apologizing, please make it clear to your sister-in-law." Also, I've never seen anyone apologize condescendingly. ”

"Don't get an inch!" Xu Wanwan said angrily.

The farce has not been able to end, and Zhong Meiqin doesn't have much patience, "Wanwan, just talking to Qin Chu and Xiaoying, they were all squatting. ”

After all, it wasn't Qin Qian's fault this time, she couldn't say Qin Qian.

What's more, Qin Qian's temperament, Zhong Meiqin knows it clearly. What's more, she has never been so tough in all these years, and if she is not satisfied today, there is no way to end this matter.

Zhong Meiqin has spoken, and Xu Wanwan has no choice.

I had to squat down hatefully and say to Qin Chu, "Qin Chu, I'm sorry." ”

Qin Chu had a tight face, did not have stage fright, and did not lose his temper, but replied very politely: "Although I can't forgive you, but aunt, I accept your apology." ”

As soon as these words came out, several people present couldn't help but be shocked.

It's one thing to accept an apology, it's another to forgive.

"Qianqian taught Qin Chu very well, at a young age, sensible, and polite. The old man's hearty voice came from the staircase, and he could hear that he was really appreciative of Qin Chu's reaction and attitude.

"Big brother, I'm sorry for this happening today. I'm sorry. After Qin Qian stepped forward to sincerely apologize to Zhai Jundong, he turned to face Zhai Lisong and Zhong Meiqin, "Grandparents, Qin Chu still has class tomorrow, let's go first." ”

The two old men nodded in permission.

"In order to avoid such a thing from happening again in the future and causing everyone's unhappiness, I will not bring Qin Chu to the old mansion again in the future. Qin Qian seemed to be elaborating, and as if she was promised, she beckoned to Qin Chu, "Xiao Chu, say sorry to your great-grandfather, great-grandmother, and uncle, you didn't mean to make everyone unhappy." ”

"Great-grandfather, great-grandmother, and uncle, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make everyone unhappy. The little one was very well-behaved, and even bowed to the elders very politely, "Excuse me." ”

The two mothers and sons have advanced and retreated to a certain extent, and they can't find fault with them.

Zhai Junlin watched from the side, feeling that the big and small figures were glowing, making people unable to take their eyes off.

He stood aside, in a trance, in the last half a month, he had seen too many different Qin Qian. He didn't know if she had changed, or if she had always been like this, but he hadn't found her.

"Shallow, come over here. Zhong Meiqin beckoned to Qin Qian.

Qin Qian gently patted Qin Chu's little hand and told him that she would be back soon.

After she left, Qin Chu stood obediently in place, not looking left and right, and not squinting.

"Just now, Qin Qianshuai?" suddenly a youthful voice sounded next to him.

Qin Chu turned his head, looked at him, recognized him, and called politely: "Little uncle." ”

"That's good!" Zhai Junhao raised his hand and stroked the hair of Qin Chu's little head, and asked repeatedly: "Was Qin Qianshuai just now?"

The little guy tilted his little head, and was a little puzzled, but did not answer.

"Do you know?Qin Qian is the first time to be so handsome!" Zhai Junhao leaned on the sofa, bent down to look at the little guy's eyes, the corners of his mouth rose, revealing that cute little tiger tooth, "To protect you." ”

Hearing this, Qin Chu's eyes flashed, and they immediately lit up, as if there were thousands of lights inside. That expression, some happy, some proud, and some little proud.

Because, in his understanding, Qin Qian is so powerful because of him, because he is important, so Qin Qian is handsome!

"So, in the future, you have to protect her well, you know?" Zhai Junhao felt that Qin Chu's little head was so comfortable, and he couldn't help but rub it twice.

The little guy didn't dodge, but was immersed in what he said, and nodded very solemnly, like a kind of man's promise: "I will!"

"Manly talk counts?"

"One word!" Qin Chu had a serious expression.

"Hey, I know a lot!" Zhai Junhao smiled, suddenly thinking of something, supporting his thighs with his elbows, and facing Qin Chu with his hands crossed against his chin, "Then do you know?"

His question made the little guy can't help but have doubts on his face again, as if he was waiting for his next words.

"You just said that when you accept an apology, but if you don't forgive, you're also handsome!"

Qin Chu was stunned, looking at this little uncle's eyes as if there was light, bulingbulging and flickering, especially good-looking.

The little heart in the little one's chest was also happy and happy!

……

Zhai Jundong and Xu Wanwan were on their way back.

"Mom, look, the pen that Brother Qin Chu gave to Xiao Ying. Zhai Ruoying happily took it out of the small bag, as if she was showing off her newfound baby, and as if showing off Qin Chu's kindness to her.

As soon as she saw the pen, Xu Wanwan's face began to hurt, and she wanted to reach out and grab it angrily, "It's just a pen, you ......"

"Wanwan. Zhai Jundong on the side raised his hand to stop her movements and her next words. "Qin Qian knows that there are some things that can't be seen by children, and if you are a sister-in-law, you should also understand that there are some things that you can't tell your children. ”

After a pause, "It's not okay to be angry." What does Hotaru know?"

"But Qin Qian's woman is simply too much! Mom and grandparents actually helped her today, do you still want to help her now?" Xu Wanwan hated her teeth, "Obviously, Xiaoying is the pearl of the Zhai family, and it was not easy to go back to the house to please them, but the result is good, the old man seems to appreciate that wild seed, appreciate it very much!"

"Your face doesn't hurt anymore, does you?"

Zhai Jundong glanced at Xu Wanwan, "Remember, be more respectful of Qin Qian in the future, after all, she is the wife appointed by the old man and the old lady for Xiaolin, which means that the Zhai family affirms her." Also, you are the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Zhai family, and some words are not suitable to come out of your mouth, which violates your identity. ”

"What the hell is she capable of! But she is an orphan without a father or mother, and she has no reliable mother's family. Why does the old man think that the second brother has to have a wife?"

Xu Wanwan didn't understand, and was even a little jealous, after all, her mother's family was not bad, but although the old man and the old lady were quite satisfied with her, it was different from Qin Qian's kind of recognition.

Even if the old man and the old lady are satisfied with her, they are satisfied that her mother's family can help Jundong, and they are satisfied that she is ready to have another son after giving birth to Xiaoying, but it is not Qin Qian's irreplaceable recognition.

If there is a granddaughter-in-law who can be more helpful to Jundong, she believes that the old man and the old lady will also be happy to replace her! This is also the reason why she has to want to have another son!

"Moreover, I don't understand, it's obvious that you are taking care of the company, why did grandma not tell Qin Qian and Zhai Junlin to be present at the company's anniversary?

"Even if grandma doesn't instruct her, with Xiaolin's current company scale, she still has to send an invitation letter. Even if Zhong Meiqin doesn't say it, Zhai Jundong is ready to tell Zhai Junlin, after all, the family can't be too angry.

Although he didn't plan to invite Qin Qian......

Qin Qian.

Qin Qian.

Zhai Jundong's eyes narrowed slightly, and the night under his eyes was dark.

"Wanwan. He called softly, "This time Qin Chu's matter, it is indeed your fault first." You have to remember this lesson, and remember how Qin Qian faced it, and why everyone couldn't find fault with her. This is also what you, as the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Zhai family, and the future housemother, need to master. ”

"Moreover, not only can you not target Qin Qian in the future, but you must be kind to her. ”

"She beat me, do you want me to be nice to her?" Jundong, what the hell are you ......" Xu Wanwan was angry and sad at the same time.

"If you can't bear it, you will be wronged. Zhai Jundong reached out to hold Xu Wanwan's hand and explained in a low voice, "I heard that some time ago, my grandmother asked Qin Qian and Xiaolin to have another child, I thought something was wrong, so I specially called someone to check on Qin Qian." ”

"Father, mother, and former guardian are all none. Aside from her resume of schooling, even her home address was blank. ”

Xu Wanwan was stunned, "You mean to ......"

It shows that there are people behind her who are always protecting her privacy and information. And with the ability of our Zhai family, the power that can't be detected at all ......" Zhai Jundong paused, "It can be imagined. ”

"Then she was still ...... before" Xu Wanwan was even more puzzled, why was she so powerful, why was she so cowardly.

Zhai Jundong shook his head, "I can't say for sure, maybe she doesn't know it herself, but the people behind her haven't given up on her." Possible...... This is also the reason why her grandfather recognizes her and thinks that her second brother must be her. ”

He looked out the window at the night, thick and a little sour.

After Xu Wanwan was silent for a long time, she was not so angry and excited, but replied very quietly, "I know." ”

Zhai Jundong retracted his gaze, let out a low "En", held Zhai Ruoying's small hand holding his fingers, and asked softly, "Does Xiaoying like Brother Qin Chu?"

The little girl immediately smiled sweetly, "I like it!"

"If Xiao Ying likes it, will your mother often take you to play with Brother Qin Chu in the future?" Xu Wanwan asked her.

"Okay!" Zhai Ruoying smiled happily and bent her eyebrows, "Xiao Ying likes Brother Qin Chu, Brother Qin Chu is the gentlest!"

After that, Xiao Ying missed her brother, so she called Aunt Qin Qian and invited them to come out to play together. ”

The little girl nodded, as if she understood what her mother meant, her eyes widened, and she asked curiously, "Can I call myself?"

"Of course. Xu Wanwan touched her head.

"Okay, Xiao Ying can give it to Brother Qin Chu herself!"

Zhai Ruoying sat between the two, so happy that she didn't notice that under the movement of the road lights, her parents' expressions were as dark as they were.
