Chapter 2029: Chapter 2027: Massive Debacle at the Scene

The spacious courtyard is surrounded by neatly trimmed green foliage, and it seems there’s a pool not far away.

By this time, the driver had long stopped the car, and Qi Fangxiu seemed to snap out of his grief, looking guiltily at Qin Xiaoyu beside him, signaling Fifth Uncle Qi and the driver with a glance.

The two understood and quickly got out of the car, leaving only Qin Xiaoyu and Qi Fangxiu inside.

Qi Fangxiu was worried about his grandfather, but at this moment, he needed to address Qin Xiaoyu, his voice sincere, the clear brows full of anxiety and unease, "Xiao Yu, about my matters, I will explain everything to you in detail later."

Qin Xiaoyu felt her heart sink, looking into Qi Fangxiu’s anxious eyes. As she suspected, Qi Fangxiu had deceived her.

Despite her unease, Qin Xiaoyu’s voice carried a coldness as she pointed to the grand gates outside, calmly asking, "Then tell me whose house this is, and whose car this belongs to?"

"Xiao Yu, this is my family’s house, and this car belongs to my grandfather."

Then, boldly, he grabbed Qin Xiaoyu’s hand, "Xiao Yu, please come inside for a rest; I will explain everything to you, please don’t be angry."

His voice held a pleading tone, his eyes had the same beseeching look.

Qin Xiaoyu wanted to erupt there and then, but considering Qi Fangxiu’s grandfather’s uncertain state, she bit her lip, remaining silent as he led her out of the car.

Afterward, Qi Fangxiu held her hand as they headed toward the main house of the Qi Family in Yun City.

This was a dramatic scene.

The doors of the Qi Family opened, Old Master Qi stood in the middle of the courtyard, full of energy, smiling at his eldest grandson and the young lady he brought back.

Wonderful, this was truly a win-win; he thought only one person would return, but his grandson brought back a future granddaughter-in-law as well.

His eldest grandson was truly capable; look at how pretty this young lady was.

Oh right, what was her name again, Laowu hadn’t told him yet.

Nevertheless, at this very moment, it was Qi Fangxiu who was the most stunned.

After the shock came shame and anger.

Under the light streaming from the house, Qi Fangxiu’s face was visibly stormy.

If he were alone, he would have surely turned and walked away without hesitation.

Yet he had brought Xiao Yu back, not only hiding his identity, but also being tricked by his own family; under this double blow, Qi Fangxiu was too angry to speak.

Seeing Old Master Qi at the entrance, Qin Xiaoyu realized Qi Fangxiu had been lured back, her feelings were mixed and uncomfortable.

What did she consider herself to be?

Coming along in confusion, without informing her family.

At this moment, Qin Xiaoyu regretted it a bit; despite being a university student, she acted impulsively without thinking. No wonder her brother always reminded her to be more thoughtful. Qin Xiaoyu’s face didn’t look good either.

Originally, their hands were joined, but with a slight effort, Qin Xiaoyu freed herself.

At that moment, Qi Fangxiu’s hand emptied, and somehow, his heart felt hollowed too.

Truthfully, this was the first time he held hands with Xiao Yu.

Even in such a peculiar circumstance.

His empty palm clenched, Qi Fangxiu’s face remained stormy, his sharp gaze swept a glance at the guilty Fifth Uncle, then his eyes fell on his grandfather’s radiant face.

Remarkable, it seemed the old man hadn’t rested all night, yet was so spirited.

Why did he believe Fifth Uncle’s words?

Why hadn’t he called ahead to ask?

How could he foolishly trust Fifth Uncle, and how could he so awkwardly expose everything in front of Xiao Yu?

His heart was anxious and uneasy, he couldn’t help but glance at Qin Xiaoyu.

Qin Xiaoyu met his gaze briefly before looking away, as Fifth Uncle Qi quickly stepped forward, addressing the old master, "It’s late, let the two young ones rest, we can discuss things once they’ve awakened."

Prior to this, Fifth Uncle Qi had quietly phoned the old master; naturally, a room for Qi Fangxiu’s girlfriend was prepared too, so two middle-aged women led Qin Xiaoyu into a room.

They looked at Qin Xiaoyu with undisguised scrutiny in their eyes.

Upon noticing Xiao Yu’s ordinary attire, disdain flickered in their eyes.

But they were fairly old, so they hid it well, yet now that Xiao Yu had shifted her attention from Qi Fangxiu, she perceived their attitude naturally.

Qin Xiaoyu frowned deeply, carrying only a plain handbag with just her ID card and the pocket money her sister-in-law handed her, without even a mobile phone. How could she contact her family?

Moreover, Qin Xiaoyu was somewhat fearful; she dared not contact her family now.

She wouldn’t dare to tell her parents that she was in Yun City, in a man’s house no less. If her grandmother knew, she’d be furious and probably faint.

Before boarding the train, she phoned home from a booth, with her grandmother answering. She said she was going to a classmate’s house, not returning that night, planning to stay over for several days.

Her grandmother disapproved, so she had no choice but to make up a reason.

Of course, she didn’t dare to tell the truth.

If her grandmother found out she lied, the consequences were something Qin Xiaoyu couldn’t even begin to imagine.

At this moment, Qi Fangxiu walked in too, standing at the doorway, looking at Qin Xiaoyu with anxious apprehension, an expression of helplessness on his face that Qin Xiaoyu had never seen before.

In her memory, Qi Fangxiu had always been vibrant, brimming with confidence. It was precisely this confidence and composure that attracted her profoundly.

But now...

The two middle-aged women immediately adopted an amiable demeanor when Qi Fangxiu entered, their attitude toward Qin Xiaoyu having been starkly opposite.

But Qin Xiaoyu no longer cared about that; it was inconsequential. What mattered was how she would explain this to her family.

Moreover, she had assured her sister-in-law with such confidence; yet in less than a day, reality had slapped her hard.

Speaking of which, both had concealed things from each other, as she had mentioned, the difference between fifty paces and a hundred paces was merely half a dozen of one or six of the other, neither excelling in any sense, which left Qin Xiaoyu deeply embarrassed, irritated, worried, and angry.
