Chapter 452: Chapter 452: No Internal Injuries

Today, seeing Qin Xiangyang once again, she realized just how blind she had been. Though they all share the Qin surname and call the same man father, Qin Pengfei couldn’t possibly compare to Qin Xiangyang.

Look at that appearance, that physique, even his job as a military academy instructor, he is fed and paid by the school all year round with a high salary. Why did she encounter Qin Pengfei instead of Qin Xiangyang?

"Do you know if your brother is married?" she probed, not meaning too much by it, just feeling somewhat discontent.

"He’s married," Qin Pengfei responded nonchalantly, his mouth twitching, "I don’t even know who he married - with his standards?"

Guan Xiaojie scoffed internally, his standards are countless times better than yours, it’s just sour grapes since you can’t get what he has. No wonder he doesn’t acknowledge you, she wouldn’t either if she were him.

How could she have married such a loser like Qin Pengfei when others are army officers, living within the Capital City? Why should she follow this hopeless man, waiting to live off his sister’s leftovers? She was close to getting some money, but now, what a joke, she hasn’t a penny and is yet mocked by others.

She always said, her sister-in-law isn’t some exceptionally beautiful fairy either—why would someone insist on marrying her unless she slept with him multiple times, or perhaps even got pregnant.

How could a prosperous family be easy to marry into? She felt a sense of malicious pleasure inside, unspeakably delighted.

Yet, she seemed to have forgotten that if Qin Xiangmei truly couldn’t marry into the Song Family, then her house, Qin Pengfei’s job, would really be at risk.

People are like that sometimes, begrudging when others live better than themselves, as though it makes them unable to eat or sleep.

A group of people walked on the bustling streets of the Capital City, the prosperity gradually blinding them.

People aim high, water flows low.

That small city has begun to displease them; they, too, want to take root here and become real people of the Capital City, but it seems it isn’t something they can attain just because they want it.

"Is everything okay?" Jian Zhiqing hurried back, only to find Qin Xiangnuan and the others were all there. Jin Juan, her eyes red, was almost crying, whereas Qin Xiangyang, with half his face swollen, was still goofily smiling. As for Qin Xiangnuan, she was fine, just sitting at the table with her lips tightly pursed.

Upon seeing Jian Zhiqing, she gave him a tired smile, but thankfully, her head was intact, not cracked open, and her limbs were all there.

Jian Zhiqing walked over, touched the top of Qin Xiangnuan’s head, all good. No break.

"I’m fine," Qin Xiangnuan grabbed Jian Zhiqing’s hand tightly, "I am not always going to be battered and bleeding," that method of fighting back with injury, she knew couldn’t be used often, she wasn’t foolish to let the Qin Family beat her up for nothing.

"Xiang Yang, how about you?" Jian Zhiqing saw Qin Xiangnuan’s swollen half-face, his brow deeply furrowed.

How heavy must a blow be to turn a face into this state?

No wonder Qin Xiangnuan doesn’t want to acknowledge that man as her father. If she really did, he would have sent her away, what kind of father is that? A child is meant to be cherished, not schemed against and beaten.

Qin Xiangyang painfully smiled, which immediately caused a sharp pain at the corners of his mouth, making him grimace in agony.

"Stop moving," Jin Juan, almost crying out of anxiousness, said, "It’s all swollen like this, could it be a concussion?"

"Not at all, I’m fine," Qin Xiangyang touched his own face, trying to comfort the nearly tearful Jin Juan, "I’m tough, that hit from my dad was nothing."

This remark left Jin Juan feeling both pained and angry.

Still calling him dad, what kind of dad? She definitely wouldn’t acknowledge such a person as her father-in-law, just like Qin Xiangnuan.

He smashed his daughter’s head creating a hole, clearly not enough, he then beat his son to this state. She had never seen such parents before, they are utterly heartless.

Granny Lu was not in a good mood, perhaps reminded again of her daughter who died young. The poor girl, unable to call out to heaven or earth, how could such a good daughter be tormented to death by Qin Guohua? Just thinking about it filled her with hatred and distress. She didn’t feel like doing anything else and went into her room; both Qin Xiangyang and Jin Juan, worried about Granny Lu, stayed to talk with her.

Once there was no one around, Jian Zhiqing then took hold of Qin Xiangnuan’s face.

"Really, no internal injuries?"

"No," Qin Xiangnuan burst into laughter, "Do you think I’m stupid? Qin Guohua, no matter how daring and aggressive he is, wouldn’t dare to hit us now, unless he doesn’t want Song Wang as his son-in-law."

"I think you are quite foolish," Jian Zhiqing pinched her face, fully aware of the girl’s family situation but powerless to change it. After all, he’s her father, you can’t really let someone beat her up. If it were not for that identity, he would have skinned anyone bullying Qin Xiangnuan alive long ago.

"I guess I really am a bit foolish," Qin Xiangnuan hugged Jian Zhiqing’s arm, resting her head on his shoulder. If she truly remembered the grudge from her past life, Qin Xiangmei wanting to marry into the Song Family wouldn’t be so easy.

Mr. Sun’s influence and fighting capabilities are strong, if he’s unwilling, how could Qin Xiangmei marry into that family?

She was now considering whether to kick in at the last minute to prevent Qin Xiangmei from marrying into the Song Family.

But after some thought, the past life was like this; this is the Qin Xiangmei she knew. She believes, in this life, she can live very well and make those around her happy. So, whether Qin Xiangmei becomes the Song Family’s daughter-in-law or not, it won’t affect them.

She just wanted to see how far Qin Xiangmei could go.

Jian Zhiqing sighed, rearranged her hair, and couldn’t understand how Qin Xiangnuan and her brother, with such personalities, could be born of Qin Guohua.

Qin Xiangnuan’s eyes darkened, knowing what he was worried about, but some things, only she knew. Having lived two lives, such incomprehensible matters are best kept to herself.

Qin Xiangmei, already anxious and nervous since returning from the Siheyuan, worried that Qin Xiangnuan would badmouth her in front of Mr. Sun, causing Song Wang to have second thoughts and call off the marriage. Over the days, she had lost a lot of weight, becoming increasingly neurotic as the wedding day approached, filled with both anticipation and fear.
