After hearing Chen Li's words, there was slight movement in the house. There was a brief silence at first, then the sound of footsteps came, and the door opened from the inside.
Qin Shuyu had a tear-stained face, her hair was disheveled, and her eyes were red. She looked at Chen Li as if she were looking at an enemy.
Chen Li was severely stung by Qin Shuyu's eyes. She felt guilty at first. She remembered that she was a mother and had to maintain the dignity of her elders. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Shuyu, what are you doing?"
Qin Shuyu sneered: "What does what I do have to do with you?"
"You..." Chen Li was very angry.
Qin Shuyu had never been worried since she was a child, but this was the first time she had been contradicted like this.
There was Qin Jianguo's ruthlessness before and Qin Shuyu's disobedience later. Chen Li only felt a headache and upset.
She opened the door: "I have something to tell you."
After seeing the brokenness and mess in the room, the last note became obviously lower.
Her temples twitched, and she sat down on the edge of the bed that could still be used for sitting, and said in a deep voice: "Please explain carefully what happened today, and why you went to Ziyi's unit to make trouble?"
Qin Shuyu leaned against the door and stared at her coldly: "You have already convicted me in your heart, what else do you want me to say?"
The words "explain" and "make trouble" already conveyed Chen Li's personal attitude as soon as she opened her mouth.
Chen Li choked at her words and sighed, as if she hated iron and said, "Look at your attitude now.
Is the Procuratorate a place where you can cause trouble? You simply don’t know how high the sky is!
Do you think your father is the provincial minister and can protect you at all times?
Our relationship with the Xie family has been completely ruined just because of what you said today!"
Since my friend left, the only way to maintain contact with the Xie family was through Xie Ziyi.
When she was good to Xie Zi, she did have selfish motives.
But Xie Ziyi was well-behaved, sensible, and very good, so she gradually fell in love with her, and even thought, why can't Qin Shuyu be like Xie Ziyi?
The balance between the two children was gradually tilting, but she herself was not aware of it.
Qin Shuyu listened to Chen Li's reproachful words, and couldn't help it anymore, and roared at her: "I don't know what's wrong with the sky and the earth!
It’s not because I have no one to teach me, but my parents spend all their time caring for other people’s children!
Until now, have you ever cared about me?
Have you ever asked how much grievance I have suffered?
No! You have been blaming me since you entered the house until now!
The only people you care about are Xie Ziyi and yourself!
If you are really so eager, why not let Xie Da marry you, then you will be happy!"
Qin Shuyu felt much relieved after shouting out everything he was holding in his heart.
But the next second, with a popping sound, his face went numb first, and then the pain slowly came.
When she looked up, she saw Chen Li's gloomy and angry face. Her chest was heaving violently, her lips were trembling, and her eyes were about to burst into tears.
Qin Jianguo's treatment to her just now could not make her angry to this extent.
Her daughter actually said such words to her.
After the extreme anger, there is heavy heartache and disappointment.
Emotions were like a big net, wrapping her tightly and making it impossible to breathe.
Qin Shuyu didn't look at her again, bumped her shoulder away, and ran downstairs.
Chen Li chased to the door of the room and shouted down: "Shu Yu!"
Qin Shuyu didn't stop for a moment and ran out in an instant.
At this moment, Chen Li finally fully understood what Xia Qingyuan said: Qin Shuyu is her retribution.

Compared to the chaotic Qin family, the atmosphere in the Shen family is much more harmonious.
The family sat together to eat, chat, and then paid attention to Shen Yilin's situation at school.
Shen Yizhou looked at Xia Qingyuan's peaceful features and felt something was wrong.
When I found that she was distracted again, I realized that something must have happened to her.
First, let’s rule out the rumors.
Because this matter has been resolved so far.
The latest news also reached the provincial department, and those who originally laughed at him looked at him with evasive and apologetic eyes.
Chu Xingyu and Ling Ye were tight-lipped about a similar incident in Dian City last time. Everyone thought it was a malicious contest between the two girls Qin Shuyu and Xie Ziyi, thus involving Xia Qingyuan.
Of course, some people think that Xia Qingyuan's inability to have a child is not groundless.
After all, two people have been married for two years and still don’t have a son and a half. This is a fact that cannot be fabricated.
Shen Yizhou's position is there, and he will take over from Yuan Hongli next year. No one dares to reveal anything too much in front of him.
When Chu Xingyu reported this matter to Shen Yizhou today, he just nodded slightly: "I understand, thank you for your hard work."
Returning to his thoughts, Shen Yizhou followed Xia Qingyuan when he returned to the room.
Xia Qingyuan was sitting on the edge of the bathtub in the bathroom, putting hot water on it. There was a basin beside it, which Xia Qingyuan would use every time she washed her hair.
Shen Yizhou stood at the door of the bathroom: "Wash your hair tonight?"
Xia Qingyuan raised her eyes to look at him and responded: "Yes."
Shen Yizhou said: "I'll help you, and you go prepare your clothes."
As he said that, his long legs stepped towards this side.
When he got home, he had taken off his coat and was only wearing a thicker shirt underneath.
As he spoke, he unbuttoned his cufflinks, rolled up his sleeves to his arms, and squatted next to her.
Until Shen Yizhou called her: "Don't you want to take a shower? Why are you staring at me?"
Xia Qingyuan just came back to her senses.
She responded in panic: "No."
Then I got up and went to the bedroom to get my pajamas.
When Xia Qingyuan came in, the water had been put in and was steaming in the bathtub.
Xia Qingyuan put the clothes aside: "I'm done, thank you."
Signaling Shen Yizhou to go out.
Shen Yizhou stood up and curled his lips: "Throw it away after use?"
Xia Qingyuan was a little embarrassed: "How can I use you?"
"Oh?" Shen Yizhou raised his eyes slightly, "Do you mean to blame me for not using it for you?"
Xia Qingyuan: "..."
She walked over and pulled him: "Don't tease me again."
Shen Yizhou put his big palm on the back of her hand: "Let me help you."
He added: "I see you are quite tired today, and I really just want to help you."
There was a hint of pleading in his sincere tone: "Don't I want to serve you?"
Yes, it sounds like pleading.
Xia Qingyuan has never been able to deal with Shen Yizhou like this.
She looked at his cold brows and eyes, showing only sincerity and no other desire.
She believed what he said.
It was not like Shen Yizhou had never washed her hair before, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
