Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

After Old Madam Qin left, the living room instantly became exceptionally cold. Du Jiayi sat back on the couch and said softly, ”Aunt, my mother and I will come and visit Grandpa and Grandma Qin next time. I’m sure you’ll have to stay and accompany the two elders later. I won’t be accompanying you shopping in the afternoon.”

The original plan was to have lunch at the Qin family’s residence and go out for a walk in the afternoon.

At this point, she wasn’t in the mood to go out and shop in the afternoon.

Madam Li’s heart ached. No matter how angry she was, she could only suppress it. Hearing that, she calmed herself down and said, ”Yu, accompany the old madam well. The old madam is getting old and doesn’t care much anymore. Naturally, she thinks that everything is good.

”Today, I was the bad guy again. For Jiayi and Xiu’s sake, I threw away my dignity. I only hate myself for not being able to speak and not persuading the old madam.

”I think the old madam is a little angry that I was talking so much. You’re the old madam’s daughter-in-law. Help me apologize to the old madam and chat with her for a while.

”I believe the old madam understands. It’s just that she won’t be able to understand it in a short period of time. She has to slowly accept it.”

Her daughter even went to apologize to the old madam and said that she would visit the two elders next time. It could be seen that even at this point, her daughter still hadn’t given up on Qin Xiu.

Hence, Madam Li didn’t want to give up on Qin Xiu, her future son-in-law, either!

The mother and daughter took turns persuading Mrs. Qin and comforting her. Finally, Mrs. Qin’s expression improved a little. She held Madam Li’s hand and said sincerely, ”You know how much I like Jiayi. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought Jiayi to visit the two elders. It’s my fault today. I thought that the two children were not young anymore and should hurry to get together. Who knew that the old madam… Alas!”

That was right. If not for her goal, Madam Li wouldn’t have let today’s matter slide.

”It’s all for the sake of our children. I understand. Go accompany the old madam. Jiayi and I will go back first.” Madam Li held Mrs. Qin’s hand too. For her daughter’s sake, she had to bear with it.

Mrs. Qin was too embarrassed to stay. Her expression was still bad, but could she leave? Of course not! She had to stay and accompany the old madam.

After sending the mother and daughter off, Mrs. Qin adjusted her emotions and went out to look for Old Madam Qin.

After leaving Dan Gui Garden and getting into the car, Madam Li’s expression turned completely cold. ”Jiayi, did you hear what Old Madam Qin said? Old Madam Qin asked you to give up. What do you think? Do you want to continue or give up?”

Du Jiayi’s eyes turned red. Her voice trembled until she lost control. ”Mom, how can I give up? Do you think I can give up? I fell in love with Qin Xiu at 21 years old. I’m 28 years old this year!

”I’ve liked him for seven years. Do you think I can give up? I can’t accept it! I can’t accept it! How much have I sacrificed for him? I retired from the army and tried my best to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I tried my best to get close to him and follow him everywhere. But he doesn’t care about me at all! He doesn’t care about me at all!

”I want to give up. I really want to give up. But every time I think about the hard work I’ve put in in the past seven years, I can’t accept it. I’m unwilling!

”Ye Jian didn’t do anything. Why does Qin Xiu like her? Why does everyone like her? What’s so good about her? What’s so good about her? How does she get everyone to like her?”

Her sobbing questions made Madam Li’s heart ache. She reached out her hands and hugged her daughter, who was crying loudly. Her heart ached as she coaxed her, ”Don’t cry, don’t cry. It’s not your fault. Qin Xiu just failed to see how good you are. Jiayi, you’ve done well enough. You’ve really done well enough!”

It wasn’t that her daughter was bad, but someone was hindering her daughter’s happiness. Madam Li’s eyes gradually darkened.
