Chapter 18 - 17 Annoying Little Old Lady
Chapter 18 - 17 Annoying Little Old Lady
Just like last time when they went shopping, Chu Ge's two arms were not idle. Under envious and jealous gazes, he swaggered toward the gate of Beishan Park.Of course, this time it was Qin Ruoying who requested it first. Her reason was that there were so many people here, what if they got separated and something unexpected happened?
This reasoning was indeed quite reasonable, so Qin Ruojing didn't object and simply accepted her sister holding her "boyfriend's" arm.
Actually, Qin Ruojing wasn't too thrilled about this kind of thing, but she found dealing with this sister of hers quite bothersome. No matter what she said to her, she rarely listened.
Often when she said one thing, Qin Ruoying would immediately have ten responses ready. Qin Ruoying's twisted logic was incredibly abundant, yet she always explained it coherently, leaving Qin Ruojing at a loss for how to respond.
If she said no now, Qin Ruoying would definitely have a ton of reasons to counter her. They could debate back and forth and she might end up being the one who conceded. In that case, the result would still be the same as now, and she'd just end up incredibly frustrated. It wasn't worth it.
So since her sister was willing, she decided not to say much more about it.
Apart from the continuous stream of tourists coming to enjoy the outing, there were also two rows of vendors on either side of the road leading to the park entrance, selling all sorts of trinkets and gadgets.
After walking a few steps, Qin Ruoying was attracted by a small cart selling Five-Colored Ropes and sachets, and she ran over like a happy child.
"Ah! Now that I think about it, I really regret it. How could I be swayed by two fried eggs and start calling someone brother-in-law so easily? I should have at least gotten someone to give me two Five-Colored Ropes to make up for it!"
While picking out the Five-Colored Ropes, Qin Ruoying exaggeratedly sighed as if she had suffered a great grievance.hing, but Qin Ruoying also merely snorted from her nose before following her sister's lead.
It seems the only reason Qin Ruoying would react this way is that they have a deep grudge with this little old lady, so deep that with Qin Ruoying's perverse personality, even looking at the little old lady is annoying, to the extent that she's too lazy to even bother exchanging words with her.
Chu Ge glanced at the little old lady again, and sure enough, her face showed a pleased smile, then she affectionately patted the head of the little girl beside her and said something that made the Qin sisters' faces turn even colder, their footsteps slightly pausing.
"Jingjing, in the future, you must preserve your integrity and definitely not learn from them, understand?"
The Qin sisters' original good mood was completely shattered, and until they walked through the park gate, they didn't say a word. Although Chu Ge was a bit curious, since the Qin sisters didn't mention it, he wouldn't deliberately ask.
"So infuriating! So infuriating! How did we run into that old witch!"
Once the three entered the park and walked a bit further, Qin Ruoying finally couldn't hold back her anger, stomped her foot, and said furiously.
"Forget it, she's just trying to provoke us. If you really get angry, you're playing right into her hands; it's not worth it."
Though Qin Ruojing said this, the frostiness on her face and her heaving chest clearly showed she was also fuming inside.
"Not get angry? How can I not be angry? If it weren't for her, our dad would've been promoted long ago. How can it be that after so many years, at such an age, he's still just a criminal police officer?"
Hearing Qin Ruoying say this, Chu Ge finally spoke, "Xiaoying, what do you mean by that?"
"Brother-in-law, let me tell you, you'll hear this and get angry too!"
After Qin Ruoying angrily explained everything, Chu Ge finally understood. No wonder the sisters reacted so strongly; anyone in this situation would indeed find it hard to swallow.
Back when the Qin sisters were in middle school, someone tried to harass them, and it happened that Qin Yan caught them in the act. In a rage, he immediately broke five of that guy's ribs.
The person Qin Yan beat up was the nephew of that little old lady they just encountered, and this little old lady named Yao Hongmei happened to be the wife of Qin Yan's direct superior at the time.
It was precisely because of this incident that Yao Hongmei caused a huge fuss, and Qin Yan, who was originally on the verge of promotion, was punished in the name of "excessive use of force," and his promotion prospects evaporated.
But that wasn't the most hateful part. Yao Hongmei even made her nephew invert the truth, framing the situation as the Qin sisters seducing her nephew first, slapping a huge scandal on the Qin family, and demanded a slew of expenses claiming medical and mental damages, among others.
Later, the captain of the criminal police team at that time was promoted to deputy director of the city's Public Security Bureau, but Qin Yan to this day is still just a criminal police officer. Whenever his promotion comes up, it's always dismissed under the guise of "still needs more experience."
Even though everyone knows the true meaning behind "still needs more experience," many people sympathized and were indignant at Qin Yan's plight. But after several people who stood up for him were given a hard time, no one dared to stick their neck out for him again, which is really frustrating.
