Chapter 655: This Is All Qin Wenhao’s Fault

Fu Mingxue didn’t hide anything and gave them a simple rundown.

Qin Wenying listened for a good while, her mouth opening and closing repeatedly. Finally, she managed to squeeze out, "What is wrong with Qin Wenhao? How could he have failed to handle this properly?"

This time, Mrs. Qin was on her side.

She nodded and said, "That’s right. It really is Wenhao’s fault for not handling things properly. Otherwise, why would she have shown up here?"

Seeing that both her mother-in-law and sister-in-law felt this way,

Fu Mingxue spoke up for him, trying to be fair. "Actually, it’s not entirely his fault. You can’t really blame him for this—"

’Qin Wenhao probably never expected that woman to find her way here. This is Beijing City, after all. He likely never guessed the man she married would be transferred to Beijing City. Or perhaps, the man she married was from Beijing City to begin with, and Qin Wenhao just didn’t know it at the time.’

Qin Wenying sighed. "You’re still defending him? Look at how much trouble he’s caused you. You shouldn’t have to worry about these trivial matters in the first place."

’She’s a researcher, for crying out loud, and yet she has to worry about family matters. That Qin Wenhao is a real piece of work.’

"Right, don’t make excuses for him. It was his fault for not handling it properly from the start. Now he’s made you and your family worry. But rest assured, once Wenshu investigates her thoroughly, we’ll deal with it then."

Fu Mingxue nodded.

Just then, Qin Wenying said with a smile, "Alright, it’s not a huge deal, so don’t worry about it. Come on, let’s go see the two little ones. I haven’t seen them in days, and I actually miss them."

Without giving Mrs. Qin a chance to object, she grabbed Fu Mingxue and headed outside.

Mrs. Qin: ...?

’My daughter-in-law just got back. How could she drag her away just like that?’

"Mingxue, stay for dinner!"

Before Fu Mingxue could answer, Qin Wenying replied for her, "Nope, we’re eating at the courtyard house tonight. I’m craving the dumplings Auntie makes. You guys go ahead and eat!"

Mrs. Qin: ...?

’She’s supposed to be the guest, yet she’s already ordering food. She really makes herself at home, doesn’t she!’

Fu Mingxue hadn’t expected to be dragged away by her sister-in-law, either.

’I haven’t even said goodbye to my mother-in-law yet!’

Qin Wenying seemed to notice her hesitation and immediately said, "Don’t worry, your mother-in-law isn’t someone who sweats the small stuff. Come on, we’re going somewhere first."

Her words immediately piqued Fu Mingxue’s curiosity.

"Where are we going?"

"You’ll see when we get there."

Qin Wenying was being mysterious.

Seeing this, Fu Mingxue didn’t ask any more questions.

She had ridden her electric bike here.

However, this time Qin Wenying took the driver’s seat.

"I’ll drive."

Without another word, Fu Mingxue got on the back seat.

’Wait, the route they’re taking... Isn’t this the way to my house?’

Before Fu Mingxue could voice her question, Qin Wenying stopped at the house right next to hers.

"We’re here."

Fu Mingxue: ...?

’Are we going to my place?’

’Then why did she stop next door?’

Just as she was about to say they had stopped at the wrong place, Qin Wenying said cheerfully, "After I retire, I’ll be your neighbor. What do you think of this house?"

Her words left Fu Mingxue utterly stunned.

"This... is your house?"

’I remember people living in this courtyard house before. A family of three generations lived here, so how did it become Qin Wenying’s place? Did they all move away? Or did they sell it? My mom never mentioned anything about this!’

"Come on, let’s head inside first."

After Qin Wenying parked the bike, she took out a key and opened the door.

In a daze, Fu Mingxue followed her inside.
