Chapter 1356: Chapter 1356: Midnight Soul Departure (Part 5)
Furthermore, with today’s fiasco, it’s clear how irresponsible and selfish he is.
If he really liked Shu Wen, there were plenty of opportunities to talk to her in the previous days, yet he chose to make a scene on a day like today; where does that leave Shu Wen?
Did he ever consider what Shu Wen would face in the Qin Family if they really misunderstood something?
He never thought about it.
Or maybe he did, but he was too selfish to care for Shu Wen, only thinking about himself.
Compared to Qin Qiong, the difference is night and day.
After dinner, Qin Family’s parents stayed for another half an hour. Qin Qiong was reluctant to leave, and knowing the young couple’s affection for each other, the Qin Family’s parents said nothing and left first.
Jiaojiao was already asleep. The elder Shu and the Ruanlin Family couldn’t compare to young people and were also tired from the day, so not long after the Qin Family’s parents left, they went to bed too.
In an instant, the whole hall was left with only a few adults.
Shu Wen was peeling an apple. Qin Qiong watched eagerly, thinking it was for him, but when she finished peeling, she split the apple in half and gave it to Shu Jiao, which made him feel a little jealous.
He picked up a fruit knife and started peeling for himself. After finishing, he also split it in half, planning to share it with Shu Wen, but looked up to meet Ruan Jianguo’s and Shu Lang’s eyes.
Alright then.
The brother-in-law and brother-in-law are more important since he’s not officially part of the family yet, so he naturally had to appease them first, and silently handed over the apple.
Ruan Jianguo and Shu Lang didn’t refuse, taking it and leisurely eating it.
Ruan Jianguo recalled the events of the day and felt somewhat uneasy, saying, "Are we going to just let that bastard Jiang off? If it weren’t for my sweetheart’s good fortune today, who knows what would have happened."
"They did apologize later, and Jiang Bin also expressed his apologies," Qin Qiong said, pretending to be generous, while sneaking looks at Shu Wen.
When Shu Wen’s beautiful eyes glanced over, he immediately pretended nothing happened, coughing slightly.
But Ruan Jianguo had a point; it felt uncomfortable to let the Jiang Family’s apology slide.
Jiaojiao almost drowned; could a simple apology smooth it over? That was too easy for him.
He only worried that Shu Wen would think he was petty, so he kept his eyes on her.
"Crazy," Shu Wen muttered, not clearly addressing who, and pulled Shu Jiao to their bedroom for some intimate talking.
Once the two women left, the three men had no more compunctions.
"How about it, on this dark and windy night we... slit!" Qin Qiong playfully drew a finger across his neck, raising an eyebrow at Ruan Jianguo and Shu Lang.
"Let’s not be so bloody. This way... that way... and then this should work." Ruan Jianguo.
"..." Shu Lang looked blank, completely unaware of what they were discussing.
But clearly, the two didn’t forget their brother-in-law in their mischief, dragging him along when they went out to do the deed.
Thus, on this dark and windy night, the three men somehow procured a burlap sack and waited on Jiang Bin’s way home. They staked out most of the night, feeding mosquitoes the whole time... and achieved nothing at all!
As it got later and later, never having done anything like it before, Shu Lang started to tire. He slapped another mosquito off his face and turned to the two men beside him: "Maybe he’s not coming home tonight; should we try next time?"
