Chapter 1212 Qin Xiaoru's Background
It can be seen that Qin Xiaoru really likes Pei Shaoqing and is very much influenced by him, otherwise she would not be so obedient.
As an older brother, Qin Lie was very happy to see this scene.
Yes, brother.
He is Qin Xiaoru's brother. Although they do not have the same father and mother, there is indeed a blood relationship between them, which is an indisputable fact.
Seeing a tall and slender figure pushing open the heavy glass door and walking towards him, Qin Lie's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Qin Lang walked up to him with steady steps, and met Qin Lie's sharp gaze, but his eyes revealed a surprise that was difficult to hide, "Captain Qin, why are you here?"
Qin Lie lowered his eyes, obviously avoiding Qin Lang's gaze. He lit a cigarette and said in a cold and low voice, "I'm going to do some personal business on the way."
"Since it's a private matter, then...can I call you brother?" Qin Lang's eyes were burning, not giving Qin Lie any chance to escape.
Qin Lie's fingers trembled suddenly, and the flame of the lighter visibly shook.
Qin Lie pretended to be calm and lit up the cigarette before answering very straightforwardly, "No."
Hearing this, Qin Lang's smile turned pale in an instant, and he smiled bitterly, "Brother, are you still unwilling to forgive Grandpa?"
Qin Lie looked at him with a stern gaze, without any sign of loosening, "I said, I am Qin Lie, just Qin Lie, and I have nothing to do with the Qin family."
"Brother, even if you don't want to recognize the Qin family, can you not shut me out? I have never done anything to hurt you, right?"
Qin Lang felt a little hurt. Over the years, he had wanted to become brothers with Qin Lie more than once, but Qin Lie resisted every time. This made him feel deeply powerless and he didn't know how to break the deadlock.
In recent years, he has actually been very lonely and very envious of the relationship between Fu Nanzhou and his brothers.
Qin Lie took a puff of his cigarette and didn't answer.
Qin Lang sighed, "Brother, if grandpa is gone, will you still hate the Qin family so much?"
Qin Lie laughed sarcastically, "Just because he's dead, can we just pretend that nothing happened? How did my parents die? Back then, the Qin family was fighting to the death. If he hadn't acquiesced, there wouldn't have been such a thing as brothers killing each other. So I don't hate your father, I only hate him."
Qin Lang was speechless. He had always known that it was natural for Qin Lie to hate the Qin family.
He also knew that the Qin family owed his uncle and even more to his cousin, but that was not something he could decide.
Struggles among wealthy families are inevitable, and faced with the temptation of inheritance rights, fratricide is commonplace. However, the fight in the Qin family back then was too brutal, and it was indeed my grandfather who fanned the flames.
While the two were talking, Pei Shaoqing had already come out with something, "Here, it's all here."
Qin Lie took it, opened the car door and put it in the back seat immediately.
Qin Lang saw the blood collection device and recalled the scene where Pei Shaoqing begged Qin Xiaoru to draw blood. He suddenly asked, "Is it from my uncle's..."
Qin Lie did not answer. He looked at him deeply, opened the door of the jeep, got in, started the car, and drove away.
Qin Lang still didn't get an answer from Qin Lie in the end.
He knew that Qin Lie hated everyone in the Qin family equally, but even so, he still hoped to become a good brother with Qin Lie.
"My uncle's family, you are not... talking about our Qin Xiaoru, right?"
Pei Shaoqing had a smile on his lips. At first glance, it seemed like just a joke, but the sharpness in the smile in his eyes showed that he was not joking.
Qin Lang chuckled, "How could it be?"
He can't say anything without seeing the result.
"I think so, but I'm quite shocked that you and Qin Lie are brothers."
It was true that they were shocked. After all, they had not specifically investigated Qin Lie before, so they naturally didn't know that he was a member of the Qin family.
Although they both have the surname Qin, their temperaments are so different that it is hard to connect them together.
Qin Lang still just smiled and did not refute, because if Pei Shaoqing wanted to check, he would definitely be able to find out.
But the Qin family's affairs were too complicated, and Qin Lie didn't like people knowing about his relationship with the Qin family, so Qin Lang chose to avoid talking about it.
He didn't say anything and Pei Shaoqing didn't ask. After returning to the store, he didn't say a word and concentrated on accompanying Qin Xiaoru to choose the style of wedding dress.
This store is one of Dracula's few offline stores. All the styles are designed by Dracula in his spare time. However, Pei Shaoqing wanted the latest one, designed specifically for Qin Xiaoru, which is unique, so he did not take a fancy to the finished products.
Tan Mucheng didn't care about this thing in the first place, so she just picked a wedding dress from the store to deal with it.
Shen Pingting didn't even choose, and just played with Jiabao with Xiaochuan.
As for Lu Xi, under Fu Nanzhou's repeated insistence, she agreed to let Dracula design a wedding dress for her.
The group dispersed in the afternoon. On the way back, Pei Shaoqing sent a message to Fu Nanzhou - Old Fu, Qin Lie is a member of the Qin family, are you surprised?
When Lu Xi saw the news, she was also shocked, "I can't tell at all! He really doesn't look like anyone from the Qin family at all."
Fu Nanzhou was also surprised, but he kept his emotions to himself. He just said "hmm" and appeared very calm.
"Brother Qin should not be an illegitimate child." Lu Xi said again.
Fu Nanzhou lowered his head and replied to Pei Shaoqing's WeChat while answering Lu Xi, "No. The Qin family originally had three brothers. Qin Zhengyuan tacitly allowed the brothers to kill each other for the right of inheritance. In addition, Qin Zhengyuan's elder brother was still ambitious and unwilling to let the Qin family fall into Qin Zhengyuan's lineage. The two sons also kept fighting openly and secretly. During that time, the Qin family was in a bloody storm, so Qin Shiyue wanted to escape, but she still couldn't escape the fate of being forced to fight."
Lu Xi understood, "She chose Qin Lang's father. She must have had some help from a good family, right? So Qin Lang's father was able to win?"
Fu Nanzhou nodded, "Yes, it's a pity that the second son of the Qin family still died."
"That doesn't affect the result. Qin Zhengyuan must have felt that the second brother was more like him and had more means and courage, so after the second brother died, he placed all his feelings on Qin Lang."
After a pause, Lu Xi looked at Fu Nanzhou's WeChat interface, "Sister Xiaoru is from the Qin family? I always thought she had her mother's last name."
Fu Nanzhou turned his phone to Lu Xi, on which there was Pei Shaoqing's WeChat - Xiaoru's mother was the adopted daughter of the second branch of the Qin family, and was considered half a member of the Qin family.
Lu Xi was shocked and felt a little bit unbelievable. It turned out that Qin Xiaoru's mother was also a member of the Qin family?
Didn’t the Qin family ever think of recognizing Qin Xiaoru?
She didn't ask too much about Qin Xiaoru. Firstly, it was impolite. No matter how good the relationship was, she couldn't always pry into other people's privacy. Secondly, she didn't want to hurt anyone.
Now it seems that it was right not to ask.
*
Qin Lie soon got the result, and there was almost no suspense that Qin Xiaoru was indeed a member of the Qin family.
That night, Qin Lie took the report to Qin Xiaoru's villa, where Pei Shaoqing was living now.
Qin Xiaoru said that this would make it more like Pei Shaoqing marrying into her family's family rather than her marrying into a wealthy family, and it would also be more convenient to go to and from school since it was close to the school.
Pei Shaoqing dotes on Qin Xiaoru. It doesn't matter to him whether she marries into his wife's family or not. All he wants is to live with Qin Xiaoru.
Seeing Qin Lie holding the report, Pei Shaoqing stretched out his hand, "Your sister."
"Yes, my sister." Qin Lie nodded firmly.
