Just as the two were talking, the door of the lounge was knocked again.
They both turned their heads at the same time and saw Qian Luo poking his head in.
"I was wondering why my godson was alone downstairs. It turns out his dad is getting cozy with a beauty," Qian Luo said.
As soon as Qian Luo opened his mouth, the slightly sad atmosphere in the lounge disappeared.
Xu Tingyu lowered her head and quickly wiped her eyes. When she looked up again, a perfect smile was on her face.
"Ah, I was wondering who it was. It's our Miss Xu. Long time no see," Qian Luo said. He was a bit surprised to see Xu Tingyu, but only for a moment, then he smiled again.
He had been running around downstairs just now. When he went to the restroom, he heard a few young girls chatting away.
He didn't really pay much attention at first, but he heard Qi Shifeng's name and something about marriage.
Curious, he leaned over and asked a couple of questions.
Then he heard that Qi Shifeng had actually settled a beautiful girl in the lounge and called her his wife.
When did he remarry?
How come he didn't know?
With a gossipy heart, Qian Luo immediately rushed upstairs in big strides.
He didn't expect it to be Xu Tingyu.
After all these twists and turns, it's still this one.
He had said back then that Qi Shifeng would surely regret how he treated her.
What a beautiful girl, gentle and outstanding. If she married him, what was there for him not to be happy about?
If he wasn't happy, there were plenty of others who would be.
"Hello, Qian Luo," Xu Tingyu said without being polite. She called him by his name directly.
Qian Luo walked in and sat directly on the sofa opposite them. He looked back and forth between the two with a playful expression several times.
Finally, he fixed his gaze on Xu Tingyu.
"When did you come back? You should have told us earlier. We could have arranged a welcome banquet for Miss Xu," Qian Luo said. He was a bit resentful towards Xu Tingyu.
Four years ago, her mother stabbed Qi Shifeng. When his life was hanging in the balance, she left Kyoto without hesitation.
As a friend, he felt a bit indignant for Qi Shifeng.
Xu Tingyu raised her eyebrows slightly. There was still a smile on her face, but her eyes had changed.
They were cold, but not overly sharp.
"I wouldn't dare to trouble President Qian for a welcome banquet. However, I heard that there was a bit of an unpleasant incident at President Qian's daughter's birthday party a few days ago," she said.
"My son's hand was injured by President Qian's daughter, and so far, we haven't received a formal apology. I wonder when President Qian will arrange for that?"
There was a smile on her face, but the change in her address showed a bit of aggressiveness.
Qian Luo was stunned and subconsciously looked at Qi Shifeng.
Qi Shifeng's gaze was only on Xu Tingyu's face, and the smile on his lips couldn't be hidden.
Obviously, he was proud of his wife standing up for their son.
Qian Luo had no choice but to admit it.
"I didn't know Youyou was injured. Kids don't know their own strength. I'll definitely talk to them when I get home. I promise," he said.
"Please don't take it to heart. The next time the three kids meet, I'll definitely make them apologize."
Regarding the incident that day, Qian Luo's wife had caused quite a stir when she got home.
The main point was that Qian Luo's parents were too biased towards boys over girls, which had brought indelible harm to Qian Zhao's body and mind.
If the two of them didn't change, she would divorce, and the daughter would go with her.
These days, Qian Luo had been busy coaxing his wife and doing ideological work with his parents. He had finally managed to squeeze out some time to relax.
But then Xu Tingyu brought up this matter again.
He was full of bitterness. After a long apology, he couldn't help but start complaining.
"Actually, my parents used to be quite open - minded. I don't know why they're so feudal and stubborn about this," he said.
"Zhao Zhao is so cute. Who wouldn't like her? And we're not short of the means. We could clearly treat the two kids equally."
"But they just won't. They have to give different treatment. As a result, it has a bad influence on Yang Yang and makes Zhao Zhao sad."
"In the end, it has made the siblings have a rift and caused problems in our marriage. My wife hasn't talked to me for five days. Five days!"
Qian Luo didn't want to leave once he sat down. While complaining, he even picked up the fruit on the table and started eating.
Qi Shifeng and Xu Tingyu were both people who wouldn't interfere in other people's family affairs. But when they heard the words "bias towards boys over girls", their expressions changed a bit.
Finally, Qi Shifeng spoke first.
"You should take a stand on this matter. Since you know who is in the wrong, if they don't change, they shouldn't see the kids," he said.
"If Zhao Zhao ends up with permanent psychological trauma, you'll never be able to forgive yourself for the rest of your life."
He didn't have a daughter, but he felt extremely sorry for Xu Tingyu when she was a daughter.
Especially when she said just now that when she found out that Xu Jianmin was going to offer her to a big shot in exchange for money, she felt that no one in the world loved her.
The storms brought by the original family were enough to make a person live in dampness for a lifetime.
He didn't want Qian Zhao to end up like that in the future.
Not everyone had Xu Tingyu's character to save themselves from the fire and water.
Qian Luo's expression became serious. "I know. I've already moved out, but I can't stop my parents from coming to see the kids every day."
When Qian Luo returned to China, he lived at home.
After all, they lived in a villa, and it was lively for a family of six.
Moreover, his wife was busy with work, and he was sometimes busy with business outside. It was reassuring to have the two old people help take care of the kids.
But as the old people's bias became more and more obvious, Qian Luo, after many conflicts, chose to move his wife and kids to another house.
At first, his parents were angry for a while and really didn't come to see the kids.
But during that time, the family was in a complete mess, and he often had to put down his business and go home.
Later, the old couple couldn't resist their longing for their grandson and came to see the kids on their own initiative. They even apologized and said they would change.
Qian Luo even thought about moving back.
But his wife disagreed and said they should observe for a while first.
Sure enough, the old couple didn't maintain their attitude of change for long and soon went back to their old ways.
As long as the siblings Qian Zhao and Qian Yang were together, there was always noise.
No matter who started the trouble, what Qian Zhao always got was "You're the elder sister. You have to give in to your younger brother" or "Why are you so unreasonable?" etc.
After Qian Luo found out, he talked to his parents several times in private.
But it was no use. If he talked too much, there would be a fight.
"You didn't stick to it. You gave them a chance to test you. You've always been顾忌 about them being your parents," Qi Shifeng said bluntly, mercilessly exposing Qian Luo's weakness.
