Chapter 1215 3 Brothers and Sisters Recognize Each Other
The two people in the room showed a trace of embarrassment at the same time. Pei Shaoqing's mouth twitched. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he felt embarrassed when his brother-in-law saw this scene.
Qin Xiaoru lowered her eyes, knelt obediently on the bed, and did not dare to look at Qin Lie.
Embarrassment was one thing, and another was that she was not ready to face her brother directly.
Qin Lie put his clenched fist to his lips, coughed lightly, and opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say and fell into silence.
"Captain Qin, you came back because you are anxious to recognize your sister." Pei Shaoqing teased with a smile, breaking the silent and awkward atmosphere.
Qin Lie then looked at Qin Xiaoru and nodded solemnly, "Whether you recognize him or not, you still have to come and meet the person involved."
Although he used the term "the person involved" which sounded a bit cold, Qin Xiaoru still nodded eagerly: "Admit it."
She eagerly climbed down from the bed, ran barefoot to Qin Lie, and said seriously: "I recognize you, I recognize you!"
A trace of astonishment flashed across Qin Lie's dark eyes, some surprise, some unexpectedness, and then turned into endless surprise. The complex emotions stirred up waves in his heart, constantly rushing into his throat, making Qin Lie's throat dry and tight.
The brother and sister just stared at each other, but neither of them continued talking. The air around them froze and time seemed to stand still.
I don't know how to proceed, and this is probably the reason.
Pei Shaoqing picked up Qin Xiaoru's slippers, walked up to her, knelt on one knee, pinched the girl's slender calf, and put the slippers on her feet.
Qin Lie lowered his eyes and looked at this scene, feeling inexplicably satisfied.
It can be seen that Pei Shaoqing is good to Qin Xiaoru.
Pei Shaoqing stood up, put one hand in his pocket, and put his other hand around Qin Xiaoru's shoulders, pulling her closer to him. "Little fool, you just said you recognized me, but you actually called me. Before my eldest brother-in-law came, didn't you call me brother? Why don't you call me brother now?"
Qin Xiaoru was exposed in public, and her face turned red with embarrassment. She raised her foot and stepped hard on his foot, "Are you annoying?"
Qin Xiaoru glared at him, then looked at Qin Lie embarrassedly and called out softly: "...Brother."
Although her voice was very soft, Qin Lie still heard it. His thin lips curved into a gentle arc, "Hmm."
He was afraid that the atmosphere would become awkward again, but Qin Lie didn't know how to start the conversation. He could guide the criminal to speak, but the person in front of him was not a criminal, but his relative, his sister.
Qin Xiaoru is the child of the third son of the Qin family. The Qin family disowns her, which has a lot to do with Qin Zhengyuan, but it is also true that the third son of the Qin family is irresponsible. If he had been more resolute, Qin Xiaoru would not have grown up as an illegitimate daughter.
However, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be the case. The internal strife of the Qin family was so brutal that outsiders could hardly imagine. If she knew about Qin Xiaoru's existence, would she still be alive today?
Qin Lie didn't know.
The atmosphere was awkward, and Wang Ma knocked on the door again, "Master, Master Qin Lang is outside."
Pei Shaoqing suddenly showed a playful smile, "What's going on between you two brothers? Did you discuss it?"
Qin Lie's face darkened. Qin Lang was probably doing this for Qin Xiaoru.
"Let someone in quickly." Pei Shaoqing ordered.
Aunt Wang quickly led Qin Lang into the villa, and Qin Lie and the others also went downstairs.
Seeing Qin Lie here and the appraisal report on the coffee table in the living room, Qin Lang knew that his guess was correct.
"Xiao Ru, I'm the second brother." Qin Lang was a little impatient, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face as soon as he finished speaking.
Qin Xiaoru glanced at Qin Lie.
Qin Lie lowered his eyes, "No need to look at me, the choice is yours."
Qin Xiaoru bit her lip.
Qin Lang waited stiffly for a while, but when Qin Xiaoru didn't respond, he nervously offered her the large bouquet of white carnations in his hands, "This is for you. The people in the flower shop said that carnations symbolize pure family love."
"Oh, yes, and this, this is my uncle's thing. Grandpa said that my uncle treasured this the most when he was alive. I don't know what's inside it."
Qin Xiaoru clenched her fists, but did not take the bag. Instead, she took the flowers. "Thank you, second brother. The flowers are very beautiful. I like them very much."
Qin Lang's eyes were hot, as if covered by a layer of mist, and his chest was filled with heat.
The fact that she called him "Second Brother" proved that Qin Xiaoru didn't reject him like Qin Lie did.
Later, he had a younger sister, and Haohao also had an aunt.
Qin Lie's eyes were filled with tears, and his voice was tight and choked with sobs. "Xiao Ru, no matter what happens in the future, my brother and I will support you. You should know that Qin Lie is our eldest brother. Although he refuses to recognize me, he will definitely recognize you."
Qin Xiaoru nodded, "I know."
Qin Lang smiled, but tears fell from his eyes without warning. He wiped them away hastily, "I'm sorry, I made you laugh. Don't treat my second brother as a crybaby."
Qin Xiaoru put down the flowers, hesitated for a moment, and then hugged Qin Lang, "Second brother, I won't laugh at you."
Qin Lang suddenly froze and closed his eyes to stop himself from crying. That would be too embarrassing.
Qin Lie watched from the side, pursed his lips, and asked himself again, Qin Lie, are you too cold-blooded? No matter how tragic the internal struggle of the Qin family was, no matter how tragic the death of his parents was, what did it have to do with Qin Lang?
Qin Lang has never done anything against the law, right?
Seeing his hesitation, Pei Shaoqing smiled silently and put his arm around Qin Lie's shoulders. "Today is a good day. How about we have a drink?"
Qin Lie frowned, "I have something else to do."
"Brother, don't you want to take a rest?" Qin Xiaoru suddenly let go of Qin Lang and turned to look at him.
The girl's gaze was as gentle as water, carrying a hint of expectation, which instantly softened the heart of a tough guy. He couldn't bear to say anything to spoil the mood, so Qin Lie's words of rejection were stuck in his throat.
"I'll have someone prepare some dishes quickly. We have to celebrate today. My Xiaoru will have her own family in the future." Pei Shaoqing smiled playfully and quickly winked at Wang Ma.
Wang Ma nodded happily, "Yes, Master, I'll get ready right away."
The news was quickly shared in the group.
Lu Xi: Congratulations, Sister Xiaoru! Now you have someone to back you up.
Pei Shaoqing: Xiao Jiuer, Brother Pei doesn't like what you said. Didn't you have anyone to support you before? Do you think Brother Pei is nothing?
Lu Xi: Hahahaha, sorry Brother Pei, I said the wrong thing.
Zhuang Yi: Brother Pei, do your two brothers-in-law know that you are jealous of them?
Qin Lie: 1.
Qin Lang: 2.
Zhuang Yi: Hahahahahaha, it’s over, it’s over, Brother Pei, did you see it?
Pei Shaoqing: Not only did I see them, the two of them were right next to me, one on the left and one on the right. I was like the filling in a sandwich, completely squeezed.
Qin Xiaoru: Shame on you! My brother stays far away from you, okay?
Pei Shaoqing: Yes, you are also far away from me. As your husband, I have no sense of existence at all. I am so pitiful.
Zhuang Yi: Brother Pei, it turns out that you fantasize about being the sandwich of a cookie, but in fact you are just the outer packaging of the sandwich cookie, right?
Pei Shaoqing: Xiao Yiyi, do you think you can ask your brother Pei for help in the future? You are so bold.
The group was lively. Although they were joking, they were actually happy for Qin Xiaoru. Just like when Lu Xi was adopted into the Shen family, they were genuinely happy.
Lu Xishui chatted with the group for a while and then put her phone aside.
There must have been some hidden story behind the internal strife of the Qin family, and it was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, otherwise how could Qin Lie sever ties with the Qin family?
