“Shut up! Is it your place to interfere in the matters of your elders?” Qin Zhigu’s face had seldom flared with anger. From childhood, Qin Zhizha and Qin Zhimei were the more willful ones, snatching whatever they desired openly. Qin Zhiyou generally carried an air of cynical detachment, but when it came to things he truly needed, he would stop at nothing to get them.

Only he himself, valued above all in the family since childhood, provided with every opportunity by his doting parents, always approached fame, fortune, and his desires with far less competitive fervor. Even in the face of Lu Weixi’s “betrayal,” his reaction wasn’t to outburst and confront but to silently follow and “confirm” until the whole affair came to light.

Such was his nature that sometimes he even resented his own lack of decisiveness, his constant hesitation and second-guessing. For this very reason, he had always deeply admired his older brother. Everyone in the family knew that even pushed to his extreme limit, he never resorted to violence, yet this time, he’d actually struck someone.

Qin Zhigu’s face was beet red, not from embarrassment but from sheer rage. Alongside the anger, there was even a fleeting glimpse of fear in his eyes.

Nonetheless, the slap that Qin Zhigu delivered indeed left Qin Zhizha dumbfounded.

Not only Qin Zhizha but Qin Zhiyou, Lu Weixi, as well as Qin Weijia and Yang Mogui, who were Qin Zhigu’s elders, were at a loss for words. And Cai Yiren, too, had never seen Qin Zhigu this angry.

But after the initial shock, it seemed as if she saw Qin Zhigu’s hand, the one he used to strike, tremble ever so slightly, as if he was worried about something.

She might not fully understand others, but she had always paid close attention to Qin Zhigu. When he had just returned, Cai Yiren had even straightened her hair slightly, for she didn’t want to present him with a pitiful, unkempt image.

She had a vague feeling that something was amiss, but without knowing the details, she didn’t dare to speculate.

Kong Jie, however, knew exactly what was at stake for her son the moment she heard Qin Zhigu’s earlier phone call, turning pale at the revelation. And Qin Weijian, perpetually distraught, became even more nervous when he heard his son’s words.

After an unusually silent moment among the gathered, Qin Zhizha was the first to explode. He leaped up. “Second brother, what are you doing? Have you lost your mind?”

“I think you’re the one who’s lost his mind!” Although Qin Zhigu’s hand still trembled after the slap, he raised his voice deliberately, as if to assert his dominance, “I know you’ve lost a child, and the wedding was a mess, and you’re angry, but you should communicate directly with your sister-in-law. What do you mean by resorting to violence without even trying to talk first? And you cursed at an elder? Our elder brother has lost his father, we’ve lost our uncle, and somehow, from your mouth, it turns into a child without a father acting pitiful? Is that how you talk?”

Qin Zhizha was so furious he was hopping. But as Qin Zhigu spoke, his words were clear and filled with earnest righteousness, taking the moral high ground so effectively that Qin Zhizha was at a loss for a rebuttal. He stretched out his arm furiously, pointing a finger directly at Qin Zhigu’s face, “Good. Very good.”

He then turned his head and glared fiercely at Qin Zhiyou and Lu Weixi, “Anyway, my son cannot die in vain like this! I will get an explanation!”

Qin Zhiyou spoke indifferently, “Your son? Are you sure it was a son in her belly?”
