Chapter 1653: Qin Su (4)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qin Su just sat there, quietly looking at her father who could not hide his anger.

“Your daughter is back, if you still don’t come down to cook, are you expecting us father and daughter to eat out in the middle of the night!”

Seeing that there was no movement upstairs, Qin Yi stopped what he was doing and shouted upstairs again.

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps came from upstairs. He looked up and saw that it was Mei Xiaoyue, who was also angry.

Mei Xiaoyue was also an officer in the military region. She met Qin Yi in a social gathering. Later on, they got married and had Qin Su.

“You’re back! What do you want to eat?”

Mei Xiaoyue’s eyes fell on Qin Su, which eased up a little.

“Just anything would do,” replied Qin Su.

“Stir-fry the beef in the fridge and make some side dishes to go with the wine. Also, stir-fry some peanuts!”

Qin Yi’s voice rang out as well. Mei Xiaoyue immediately shot him a cold glare as she poured her daughter a glass of water. “Sit down first. Why didn’t you come home when you’ve been back for so long?”

“I’m busy with something in the military region,” Qin Su replied as she reached out to take the water. “Thank you, mother.”

“Alright, sit down for a while. Sleep with me in my room tonight, I have something to talk to you about.”

As Mei Xiaoyue spoke, she glanced at Qin Yi from the corner of her eye—

This was a common occurrence. Every time they quarreled, Qin Yi would never get into her bed. That was it.

Qin Su turned to look at Qin Yi. Sure enough, his old face was gloomy. He put down the big bowl in his hand, took the phone and car keys from the side with one hand, and got up to walk outside.

“Father, what are you going to do?”

Qin Su also stood up and frowned as she watched Qin Yi walk past her.

“I’m going out to get some fresh air. I’ll stay in the dorm tonight!”

After saying that, Qin Yi had already walked to the door. Not long after, she heard the sound of a car starting.

...

Qin Su sat back in a daze. She could not help but feel that it was a little ridiculous, but more so, she felt helpless.

By the time Mei Xiaoyue came out of the kitchen with the dishes, it was already past nine o’clock. She was still a little surprised when she did not see Qin Yi—

“Where’s your father?”

“He went out to get some fresh air. He’s staying in the dormitory tonight,” Qin Su replied, washed her hands, and sat down. She silently picked up her chopsticks.

Mei Xiaoyue paused for a moment. She did not say anything else and sat down as well.

“It’s been so long, yet you and father only get more fired up every time. Sometimes, I really don’t understand why you got married in the first place. Is there love between you two, mother?”

Qin Su frowned as she looked at Mei Xiaoyue. There was some doubt on her tensed and beautiful face, “You guys are quarreling every other day. I really don’t get the point of you guys living like this. If you can’t stand each other, I’d rather you guys get a divorce and live your own lives. I haven’t stopped you guys from doing that anyway.”

“Divorce? Do you really think that divorce can be brought up so easily? Your father is too selfish. He doesn’t care about other people’s feelings at all. He’s autocratic and narrow-minded! If it wasn’t for the fact that he’s still honest and dutiful, I really wouldn’t be able to keep this up anymore! He only cares that he’s comfortable, and not whether others are comfortable or not. Why do I have to put up with him like this? It’s been so many years, but his temper hasn’t changed at all! How can there be anyone so selfish?”

Mei Xiaoyue found it hard to hold back her anger at the mention of Qin Yi.

“You’ve always known how his temper is like! He’s just like a child. You said it yourself, if you can tolerate it, then continue to keep at it, and complain less. If you can’t tolerate it, then get a divorce. Isn’t that normal?” Qin Su rubbed the space between her eyebrows with a headache.

Mei Xiaoyue took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. In the end, she did not say much.

“Don’t bring up divorce so easily. Xiao Su, you’re not young anymore. You should also consider your personal matters. Although your father and I bicker a lot, we’re still married and it can be considered a complete life. In life, there will always be things to worry about. Even though your father is not all that great, it’s been decades.”

After a long while, Mei Xiaoyue finally said this.

Qin Su did not say anything. She just lowered her head indifferently and continued eating her food.

Grand Lake Villa Complex.

When Qi Lei’s call came back, Dongfang Liuyun was sitting in front of the study desk, thinking about the August event.

Her phone was on loudspeaker, and her hands did not stop moving.

“Did you just get there?”

Dongfang Liuyun was the first to speak.

“No, I went to the film and television base after I got off the plane. Mu Yuchen is there too. The situation is a little serious, but he handled it in time. There’s not much of a problem. It’s just the work later on that I need to work on.”

Qi Lei’s slightly tired voice was heard.

“Rest up. Go back to the hotel and rest well.”

“I just came back from Mu Yuchen’s place. I’m at the hotel. What about you? Are you still in the study room at this hour?”

Even when Qi Lei was thousands of miles away,, it was as if he could see her from there and he guessed it right away.

“Mmm, there’s some data that needs to be processed. My analysis of the data is a little inaccurate.”

Dongfang Liuyun raised her hand to support her head as she said.

“Send it over. I’ll show it to you. Is it the document you showed me earlier?” Qi Lei said.

“It’s more or less. It’s the information Ah Ling collected and prepared later. Alright, it’ll let you work harder then, help me take a look. I’ve been looking at the data these past two days. My eyes are blurry. Turn on the computer and I’ll send it to you.”

“Okay.”

As the couple spoke, Dongfang Liuyun quickly found an account and logged in. Soon, she sent the data over—

“I’m not very sensitive to numbers, especially the analysis of the results of these linear distributions. Since your company has already made a decision, you can just put on an act with the data,” Dongfang Liuyun said to the phone.

Hearing that, Qi lei chuckled. “Haven’t you always been clear about your work and personal life? It’s obvious that you’re going easy on me. I thought you wouldn’t do it.”

“You’re the one who went easy on me first. If I don’t accept it, it would be pretentious. Anyway, I can’t wait for you to go easy on me. Of course, I won’t let you suffer a loss.”

Dongfang Liuyun answered matter-of-factly. “I believe in our Dongfang Group’s strength.”

“Won’t suffer a loss? If I do suffer a loss, you can use other methods to repay it. For example...”

He did not continue speaking. However, his mocking tone had already caused Miss Dongfang to sniff an abnormality. Her starry eyes flickered for a moment before she spoke with an implicit tone, “Have I ever told you that you exude a wretched aura from the inside out?”
