Zheng Shufen and Zheng Chenggong exchanged a glance.
Seeing this, Qin Yi put his arm around Zheng Shufen's shoulder and said, "Mom, don't overthink things. Xin Xin has never mentioned me marrying into her family, and I've never thought about being a live-in son-in-law!"
"Really?"
"Absolutely. Would I lie to you!"
Zheng Shufen's heart finally settled.
Zheng Chenggong also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hmph, Han Xin might not have mentioned it now, but who knows if she will in the future?" Zheng Dapeng said sarcastically, laced with jealousy. "Otherwise, why would the daughter of the richest man fancy someone like you who has been to prison!"
Zheng Chenggong was about to scold him when Qin Yi turned around and deliberately said, "She fancies me. She likes me. What about it, aren't you mad?"
"Not only will she not ask me to marry into her family, she will marry me. And last time, Xin Xin and her dad both said that when we get married, their family will give a very generous dowry. Besides houses and cars, there will be tens of billions in cash..."
"So, aren't you envious?"
"You..."
Zheng Dapeng shot up from his seat, his face flushed red, whether from anger or envy and jealousy.
He turned and quickly left the villa.
"Shameless!"
Zhang Guihua stood up, cursed Qin Yi, and followed him out.
Despite her scolding, anyone could see that she was so jealous of Qin Yi's words that she was almost contorted.
Because of the two of them, Zheng Chenggong also felt awkward. He didn't stay long, chatted with Qin Yi and Zheng Shufen for a few more words, and then left.
Perhaps knowing that Qin Yi's girlfriend was the daughter of the richest man in Haicheng, Zheng Chenggong no longer mentioned Qin Yi going to work at Xinfat Industry Company. He only reminded him that if he didn't want to go anymore, he should resign from Song Jia properly, rather than leaving without a word.
Qin Yi agreed.
In the evening, Qin Yi asked Zheng Shufen to rest and cooked dinner himself. Qin Lei came home from work just in time to eat.
During the meal, Qin Yi noticed that Qin Lei seemed a bit down. Although she hid it well, he keenly noticed that her eyes were a little red, clearly indicating she had been crying.
So, as soon as dinner was over, Qin Yi pulled Qin Lei into the room.
"Xiao Lei, tell me, what happened?"
Qin Lei lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at Qin Yi. "Brother, I, I'm fine..."
"Don't lie to me, I can see it!" Qin Yi interrupted. "Xiao Lei, your stepmother isn't here. If you have anything, tell me!"
"I really am fine!"
Qin Lei turned to leave the room.
Qin Yi grabbed her. "Did something happen at work?"
"No, brother, my work is going smoothly!"
Qin Lei tried to shake off Qin Yi's hand but failed.
"Xiao Lei, if you don't tell me today, I won't let you leave!"
Seeing Qin Yi's determined expression, Qin Lei hesitated for a few seconds, and finally revealed the reason for her low mood.
It turned out that when Qin Lei returned home from work this afternoon, she ran into a university classmate.
To be precise, it was a male classmate who had pursued her during her university days.
In university, Qin Lei was not disfigured and was beautiful. That male classmate pursued Qin Lei.
However, at that time, Qin Lei was focused on her studies and had no intention of dating, so she rejected his advances.
Today, when Qin Lei was on her way home from work, she suddenly encountered him on the road. When the man recognized Qin Lei and saw that her face was disfigured, he showed no sympathy, but instead gloated and insulted her.
He even forcibly tore off Qin Lei's mask in front of many people. The passers-by around saw the scars on Qin Lei's face.
This caused those passers-by to point and gossip at Qin Lei for a long time.
Recalling the scene at that moment, Qin Lei felt her face burn and was utterly humiliated!
After hearing what happened, Qin Yi became furious, his fists clenching tightly.
"Where is that person now?"
"Brother, what are you going to do? Don't be rash!"
Qin Lei noticed Qin Yi's clenched fists and quickly said.
However, she immediately thought of something, and the worry on her face disappeared. "I haven't contacted him for many years. I just bumped into him today. He tore off my mask, and I ran away..."
"So, how would I know where he is!"
Ding...
As soon as Qin Lei finished speaking, her phone in her pocket beeped.
She took it out and her expression changed drastically.
Qin Yi sensed this and took the phone from her without further ado.
"Hey, brother..."
Qin Yi blocked Qin Lei's attempt to snatch it back and saw a chat window on the phone screen.
The other party was a person named Yuan Pinsuang.
Yuan Pinsuang had sent two messages to Qin Lei.
'Qin Lei, I really didn't expect that the dignified campus belle of our university, no, the campus flower, is now disfigured and has become an ugly monster! Haha, it's truly retribution!'
'Serves you right for rejecting me back then!'
Looking at the content of the two messages, even with his toes, Qin Yi could guess that this Yuan Pinsuang was the male classmate who had mocked and insulted Qin Lei this afternoon.
Qin Yi really didn't expect that after humiliating Qin Lei publicly in front of so many people this afternoon, he would still send messages to continue the humiliation.
For a moment, Qin Yi stared at the screen, the anger in his eyes almost condensing into tangible form and spewing out.
"Brother, stop looking! Ignore him, I'll block him now!"
Qin Lei tried to snatch the phone back.
Just then, Yuan Pinsuang sent another message: "Qin Lei, your face is ruined now, are you still single and can't find a partner? How about this, you come to me, I want you!"
"Your face is ruined, but your figure is still very good. If the lights are off at night, I can still use you, haha..."
Veins bulged on Qin Yi's arms.
Immediately, Qin Yi, ignoring Qin Lei's struggles and objections, edited a message and sent it to him.
The message was simple, just asking where he was!
Yuan Pinsuang: "You actually agreed???"
"I'm singing at Blue Rhyme KTV now. If you really agree, come over!"
Qin Yi deleted the chat records and returned the phone to Qin Lei.
Then, without any delay, he left the room with a dark expression.
Qin Lei got her phone back and found that the chat records with Yuan Pinsuang were gone. She had no idea what they had talked about later.
Qin Yi went outside, greeted Zheng Shufen, and quickly left the villa.
He stepped out the door, looked up at the dark sky, and said with a cold glint in his eyes, "Bullying my sister, you're looking for death!"
Then, he quickly left the neighborhood, hailed a taxi, and headed to Blue Rhyme KTV.
