CHAPTER 337: CHAPTER 279 WHAT’S WITH THE TEASE

Elder Ming also felt humiliated.

What could he say at this point?

Ask the Qin Family to spare his younger son and granddaughter?

Suppressing his anger, "We from the Ming Family will thoroughly investigate this matter. If it proves true, there’s no need for the police, we can break their legs ourselves. However, before the results are out, please watch your words."

Old Sir Qin snorted.

"Old Man Ming, what do you mean by that? Is our family not considerate enough? Also, there are no walls in the world that do not leak. Once a crime is committed, it can’t be hidden. We may not speak of it, but that doesn’t mean others won’t know. It’s better to be upright and righteous than to think about silencing others. Don’t engage in crooked methods that darken your own heart..."

Elder Ming’s face turned from green to black with humiliation.

Did he have any face left to preserve?

"... Then let it be so for now, once we clarify the matter about the potted plant, our Ming Family will definitely give you an explanation."

With those words, he turned and walked out.

"Mr. Qin, we will be leaving first," said Ming Zuowang, knowing it was no good to stay.

It was equivalent to seeking humiliation.

After the departure of the Ming father and son, Qin Ye and Rong Yan did not intend to stay either, "Grandpa, Grand Uncle, we’ll be going first."

"Alright, go ahead! How about our family has dinner together the night before Qin Ye starts his job?" Old Sir Qin had anticipation in his eyes.

Rong Yan agreed without hesitation, "Then we will come over for dinner the day after tomorrow."

Old Sir Qin, upon hearing her agreement, immediately looked joyous.

"And bring the in-laws as well, everyone come..."

Rong Yan nodded, "Alright, my parents will come together."

This made Old Sir Qin very happy since the in-laws had not yet visited their home.

If the in-laws were truly coming, he would definitely have Sister Li prepare more dishes.

"Then we’re leaving," Rong Yan and Qin Ye left.

When they got home, Rong Wenming and his wife immediately came up and asked, "Why were you gone for so long? What about the case?"

"I just sent the person back to the police station. We will get an explanation for this matter, dad, mom, don’t worry."

Hearing their daughter say this, Rong Wenming and his wife were somewhat relieved.

"By the way, the day after tomorrow, our whole family will go to the Qin Family for dinner. Grandpa wants us all to have a meal together before Qin Ye starts his job."

Hearing this, Rong Wenming and his wife were quite shocked.

When Rong’s mother heard about going to the Qin Family for dinner, she felt a bit bombarded.

"Do all of us really need to go? Why not, you and the kids can go, I’ll just stay home..."

Rong Yan: "Mom, the Qin Family isn’t a dragon’s den or tiger’s lair, what are you afraid of?"

Rong’s mother: "..." How did her daughter end up with such a sharp tongue? What does ’afraid’ even mean?

It’s not that she was afraid; she just felt uncomfortable.

At that moment, Rong Wenming spoke up, "Since it was Grandpa Qin Ye who said so, let’s all go together, and we’ll buy something to take with us."

Rong’s mother rolled her eyes, "Isn’t that obvious?"

Who would go to the in-laws’ house empty-handed for the first time? Did they really think she was that ignorant of common practices?

These two were just aiming to annoy her.

"But what should we prepare?" Rong Wenming couldn’t help but look towards his daughter, smiling as he asked, "Daughter, what do you think we should bring?"

"Just bring two watermelons."

Rong’s mother: ...Are you kidding me?

Rong Wenming hesitated, "Isn’t that too little?"

Rong’s mother wanted to glare at him – wasn’t that obvious? Of course, it was too little.

When others visited, they brought loads of expensive gifts, and you want to bring just two watermelons... She really couldn’t afford to lose face like that.

Rong Yan smiled and said, "Dad, I mean you only need to carry two watermelons; I’ll prepare the rest. I won’t let you lose face."

Rong’s mother rolled her eyes, "Can’t you make things clear all at once?"

Rong Yan, confident and righteous, "I thought given our close mother-daughter relationship, you would understand what I mean."

Rong’s mother: ...

No, I don’t understand.

"What are we eating tonight?" Rong Yan asked.

After all, she was running around busy and was getting quite hungry.

"It’s not even four o’clock yet, and you’re thinking about food, just snack on something."

Though her mother was indifferent, someone cared, "Wife, if you’re hungry, I could make you a bowl of noodles!"

"That’s not necessary, show off your skills tonight; you’re cooking dinner," Rong Yan delegated without flinching.

"Sure," Qin Ye nodded.

Even if his wife hadn’t mentioned it, he had planned to cook dinner anyway.

Rong Wenming immediately intervened, "Let me do it, Qin. He’ll be going to his job in a couple of days; he doesn’t need to worry about these things."

Rong Yan retorted, "That’s exactly why he only has two days left at home and should do more work; otherwise, once he leaves, he won’t have the chance."

Qin Ye quickly supported his wife’s statement, "Yanyan is right, I’ll cook these two days."

Rong’s mother: ...

This honest kid, can’t he think for himself a bit?

But when one is willing to beat and the other is willing to endure, what more could she say?

"Then let’s keep dinner simple tonight!"

Rong Yan added, "I want to eat stuffed buns, Qin Ye, make those!"

"Sure," Qin Ye nodded again.

Rong’s mother: ...

In this sweltering heat, they really knew how to wear themselves out.

She decided to let go.

"Since Qin is cooking tonight, go help Qin get ready, bring plenty of stuff, and check what’s missing... We’ll go to the store tomorrow morning."

Qin Ye immediately said, "I don’t need to bring much, they provide everything there, from uniforms to daily necessities."

He just wanted to bring a photo of him and his wife; everything else was unnecessary to bring.

"This isn’t urgent, we can pack tonight; I need to rush a draft, the editors are pressing me hard."

Rong Yan saying this, where could Rong’s mother dare to delay her, "Then hurry on, work is important."

Rong Yan immediately returned to her room.

Qin Ye headed to the kitchen.

Rong’s mother glared at her husband, "What are you standing around for, go help in the kitchen!"

"Ah, I’m going now," Rong Wenming was just slightly slow but got called out by his wife.

"Dad, there’s no need, I can manage on my own."

"No, let him go with you, he’s free anyway."

When the mother-in-law spoke like that, Qin Ye didn’t dare say more.

Meanwhile, Qin Mei also thought about helping in the kitchen but was quickly pulled back by the fast-acting Rong’s mother, "You stay, the kitchen’s too hot. Let your uncle and your brother handle it. Aren’t you supposed to be practicing drawing? Just go and do that; I’ve heard your sister-in-law say... practicing drawing is about doing it over and over until you get it right."

Rong Yan: ...I didn’t say.
