NOVGO.NET Chapter 391
Ji Fei was totally stunned by this dramatic scene.
What was going on here?
Wen’s mother, Qin Xiaoyu’s boyfriend’s mom, was accusing Qin Jing of being a male fox spirit who seduced her son?
How many sons did she have?
Wait, no, wasn’t Qin Jing’s partner a woman?
Could it be that he was actually a crossdresser pulling off an online scam?
Ji Fei suppressed her gossiping smile and quickly stepped forward to help.
After all, Qin Jing was the type who wouldn’t be rude to women, and despite being livid with anger, he was helpless against the hysterical woman.
“Ma’am, you’ve got the wrong person. No… have you misunderstood something? If you’re talking about your son, Wen Bai, I barely know him, okay? And I’m not gay!”
But Wen’s mother was already red in the face with anger, truly furious, and wanted to slap him. Just as it seemed she might succeed, Qin Jing prepared to take the hit with his head, but the slap never came down.
A voice rang out.
“If you hit someone first, for whatever reason, whether young or old, you’ll have to go to the police station and pay compensation. Ma’am, make sure you have the money ready before you hit!”
Wen’s mother was stunned to see Ji Fei, the woman who had previously played a prank on her, holding her wrist.
“You… mind your own business. Mixing with such filth, you’re not any better!”
Ji Fei raised an eyebrow and retorted, “What you’re doing now is a form of defamation. Do you want to pay a fine for that?”
Ji Fei guessed that Wen’s mother cared most about money, so she addressed the issue every time, and sure enough, Wen’s mother froze. “I’m not defaming anyone!”
“Do you have evidence? Show it to me.” Ji Fei said directly.
Wen’s mother was immediately speechless, perfectly demonstrating what it meant to be unreasonable.
Ji Fei pulled her away and asked Qin Jing, “Are you okay?”
Although Qin Jing was her brother-in-law, he was actually a bit older than Ji Fei. Being protected like this embarrassed him, and he blushed.
“I’m fine. I have no idea what’s going on. Could it be that she confused me with my sister?” Qin Jing was feeling completely baffled.
He could only think of this possibility. After all, as identical twins, they did look somewhat alike, and Qin Xiaoyu also had short hair. If the photos were only partial shots and the impulsive woman saw them, then met Qin Jing in person, it wasn’t entirely impossible for her to get confused.
Ji Fei’s mouth twitched, and she didn’t know the woman’s name, so she couldn’t uncover the truth. Qin Jing’s explanation was somewhat plausible, though.
As they spoke, Wen’s mother gradually calmed down, her eyes darting around inquisitively.
Qin Jing also regained his composure and said, “Ma’am, your son is indeed dating my sister. If you don’t believe me, after their competition ends, bring your son to our private room, and you can see for yourself.”
Seeing that Wen’s mother seemed quite shocked, she didn’t say anything but just stared at him intently. Qin Jing found it extremely unpleasant and didn’t want to go to the bathroom anymore. He called Ji Fei and left together.
Just before they left, Wen’s mother couldn’t resist adding a few more words, “Hey, let me tell you, men who mess around with men are against nature. It’s something only perverts would do. If I find out you’re seducing my son, I won’t let you off!”
Qin Jing really wanted to turn around and curse, but his upbringing prevented him from engaging in such a futile argument with an old woman.
What a ridiculous situation! After saying all that, this woman still didn’t believe him? And what did she have against homosexuality? Her extreme homophobia was truly uncomfortable. You could disagree, but why resort to insults?
Qin Jing returned to the private room in a huff. He shot his sister a glare, thinking about the kind of family she had gotten involved with.
“What’s wrong? Back so soon? Kidneys not functioning? Well, you can’t blame me for that!” Qin Xiaoyu joked.
Ji Fei couldn’t help but laugh, “We ran into some trouble.”
The group immediately became curious.
Qin Jing grumbled and recounted what had just happened.
Qin Xiaoyu was utterly speechless. “What kind of person is that?”
“Your boyfriend’s mother, probably your future mother-in-law,” Qin Jing said irritably.
“Just because you two look alike, she thought her son was actually dating a man and just lost it?” Qin Zhao was incredulous. “That’s terrifying. Having to deal with someone like that? Even more terrifying.”
Qin Rong quickly said, “Don’t talk like that. He is he, and his mother is his mother.”
It seemed both brothers were urging a breakup, and Qin Rong was worried Qin Xiaoyu might feel sad.
Qin Xiaoyu indeed felt a bit sad, not because of their urging to break up, but because she was also considering it. She genuinely liked Wen Bai and had thought about marriage, but she hadn’t expected his mother to be like this, jumping to conclusions and acting so rashly and impolitely. She felt they didn’t match in temperament.
After all, marriage was never just a matter of two people.
Qin Xiaoyu was also quite hesitant. If it really didn’t work out, she might just date for now and then break up later. She lacked the confidence to overcome the obstacles and didn’t want to put her boyfriend in a difficult position by making him choose. She thought that wouldn’t be right.
“Well, Wen Bai’s family is technically a single-parent household. His parents have been separated for years, and his father lives overseas, so he’s been relying on his mother. I once thought that if we were really together, we probably couldn’t leave his mother alone. Even if we didn’t live together, frequent interactions were inevitable. Now… I’m a bit worried,” Qin Xiaoyu admitted honestly.
This was Qin Xiaoyu’s life, and she had her own views, so no one would interfere. They just told her to think it through, as it wasn’t fair to judge someone based on their mother’s behavior alone.
Perhaps it was this kind of child-rearing situation that made Wen’s mother particularly sensitive.
In the end, Qin Xiaoyu probably wanted to meet a few more times before making a decision. Later, she even promised to make sure her boyfriend and his mother clarified everything and apologized to her brother. Although she usually liked to tease her brother, she still stood by her brother in this situation. An apology was a must!
“If you two break up, it would really be ridiculous,” Qin Jing said. “Dad said the master foretold that the Qin Family would have bad luck in marriage and relationships lately.”
Ji Fei also remembered what Qin Xian had said and the sweetness of that night, couldn’t help but share her love-drunk thoughts, “Not really, my husband and I are doing great.”
Everyone burst out laughing.
“I’ve discovered a pattern,” Qin Zhao chuckled. “When a couple consists of a man who’s love-drunk and a woman with good character, they can definitely grow old together! Like Aunt and Uncle, Dad and Mom. And Uncle Six and Aunt Six.”
Qin Jing and Qin Xiaoyu immediately chimed in, “And our parents too.”
Although Aunt Four had passed away early, when she was alive, it was indeed this pattern. If it weren’t for her husband’s love-drunk nature, with his status and position, he wouldn’t have raised a pair of children alone. It was said that even when someone sent a replacement, he would get angry, feeling it was an insult to his late wife.
“What about Aunt Five and Uncle Five?” Ji Fei wondered.
They were pretty respectful toward each other, seemed harmonious and peaceful, not the clingy, inseparable kind. Very model-like. That’s why Uncle usually traveled for work, and Aunt stayed home to take care of the kids.
“It’s because the places Uncle did business were not very safe. Out of respect for Aunt, he didn’t take her along, leaving her at home to be a dutiful wife and mother.”
“But there are also some trusted people from the Qin Family in those places, so it’s easy to tell if Uncle is truly devoted to Aunt alone.”
Everyone chatted away, gossiping about the older generation, though they skipped over Aunt Lu Meihe. They weren’t really close, and she wasn’t exactly a real relative, so they didn’t mention her.
Soon the competition ended, and Wen Bai’s team won. Qin Xiaoyu looked proud and happily went on stage to present the flowers.
The two hugged, and although they hadn’t gone public, fans already knew, so the cheers grew louder and louder. After all, Qin Xiaoyu was not only good-looking but also a wealthy woman who had helped Wen Bai in his time of need. In the fans’ eyes, it was a high-achieving rich sister.
In the private room, everyone watching the close-up on the big screen smiled.
The love could be seen pouring out of Wen Bai’s eyes, proving that the two young people were still genuinely in love, though they had an unruly mother to deal with.
This only piqued Ji Fei’s curiosity even more about Wen Bai himself.
