Chapter 1226 — Brother-in-Law
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"It's all right, I suppose..." Qiu Lingshan thought to herself: by your logic, he loves the dog too! But this she could not say — not even to her own sister could she bring herself to say it.
Hearing how lightly Qiu Lingshan spoke of it, Song Lingwei assumed she was doing it on purpose, and her envy deepened. "One day I'll find a boyfriend just like my brother-in-law, one who'll help raise my strength!"
"You're just a child — find what, exactly?" Qiu Lingshan was half amused, half exasperated. "By the way, Little Rui, let's set this aside for now — when are you coming back?"
"I still have to wait a while. Once I get the medal, I can graduate!" Song Lingwei said. "By then I'll have to talk it over with Grandfather — whether to go to work, or come back and attend university. It all depends on Grandfather's arrangements!"
Qiu Lingshan nodded. Song Lingwei was only eighteen, just the right age for university; coming back to take a job would indeed be a bit early. Better that she spend more time at school gaining knowledge and broadening her horizons, so that later she could help Grandfather manage the Song family's affairs, and wait for her little brother to come of age and formally take over the Song family.
"True enough. If you're going to study, then come to Songshan City — that way we sisters can meet often." Qiu Lingshan said.
"Of course! I want to size up my brother-in-law too, and help you screen him while I'm at it. If he can't pass my test — hmph, hmph — then I won't acknowledge him as my brother-in-law!" Song Lingwei said with a chuckle.
"Worry about yourself first! Adults' business — children keep out of it!" Yet inwardly Qiu Lingshan's heart was thumping. Wei Zhao was not her boyfriend at all; if Little Rui said something ill-timed, she would be mortified! So by no means could she let her have a hand in this!
"Let's leave it there — something's come up on my end, I'm hanging up, Sis!" Someone was calling for Song Lingwei over there, so she said a hurried word and made to end the call. "I'll ring you when I have time — I've got plenty of it now!"
Looking at the dead phone, Qiu Lingshan shook her head. The gloom weighing on her before had lifted a good deal. She shook her head again and threw herself back into her tense work.
When Xie Yufeng walked out of the police station, his face was somewhat dark!
Qiu Lingshan didn't like him — even a fool could see that! Xie Yufeng, who within his own family had only to ask and it was given, had never been treated so coldly in his life! Even in other families, once he put forward his standing as heir of the Yu family, those clan heads would show him the utmost favor!
And this Qiu Lingshan had to put on airs! What was so remarkable about her? Just a peak late Yellow Rank fighter who happened to be a little prettier? He himself was at the peak of the mid Profound Rank! And she dared give him a sour face?
Just wait until I marry you — then I'll show you how it's done! Xie Yufeng spat viciously by the roadside.
But no sooner had the spit left his mouth than an old man wearing a public security armband came running over and seized Xie Yufeng by the arm: "Spitting in public — one hundred yuan fine!"
