Chapter 5536: Chapter 5536: Skipping Line

Mentioning that night at the hospital still makes Madam Qin’s heart tremble, constantly on the verge of fainting, her voice weakened as she spoke.

"You don’t know what I was feeling at that time. On one hand, the old master had fainted and was taken to the hospital, and on the other hand, seeing the Old Madam’s expression, I truly felt like my whole body was immersed in a cold pond, almost fainting myself."

She had said so much in one breath that Madam Qin needed to pause for air before she could continue, while Qin Dingkang was waiting to hear more. Seeing her pause, he smiled and said, "My dear, how would I know if I didn’t see it myself? Come on, continue, continue. You haven’t gotten to the main point yet."

"What’s the main point? Why does the Old Madam like Miss Ye so much, and you despise her so? I find it hard to understand."

The Old Madam has always been accurate in judging people, far more skilled than his wife. If the Old Madam thought well of a girl, she certainly wouldn’t be bad. Moreover, if she liked a girl enough to want Xiu to marry her as his granddaughter-in-law, she must be very exceptional.

So where did his wife’s distaste come from?

"Oh, it was that girl just now, the one who came out of nowhere, staying by the Old Madam’s side before our arrival, always holding on to her. The Old Madam seemed to really like her. Little Ying went up and exchanged a few polite words, do you know what she said? She said it was ’part of her duties!’" Madam Qin grew angry recalling that night, "What is she to our Qin family, to say it’s ’part of her duties’?"

"What’s wrong with it being ’part of her duties’?" Mr. Qin still didn’t understand the point Madam Qin was trying to make, rubbed his forehead, and sighed, "My dear, what’s your point? I need to know your point."

"The point, I’m talking all about the point! What about it? Have you not thought about what relation she has with our family, how our family’s matters could become ’part of her duties,’ and moreover, I’ve noticed that Xiu treats her quite differently. I have never seen Xiu behave this way with any other girl." Madam Qin’s mood worsened as she spoke, finding herself displeased on the first day of the New Year.

This Ye Jian, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was a little vixen; her relationship with Xia’s Little Six was ambiguous, and so was her relationship with Old Man Xia’s grandson. What, did she also want to get involved with their Qin family?

No way?!

"Xiu treats her differently? Do you mean..." Qin Dingkang also furrowed his brow, not because Ye Jian mentioned "part of her duties," but because he felt it might be unrequited love from his son.

Men and women focus on different things in certain matters.

Madam Qin, thinking her husband had finally grasped the point she was making, slapped the dressing table lightly in frustration, "There’s an even more ridiculous part coming up. Do you know what the Old Madam said? She kept holding Miss Ye’s hand, suggesting that she become a sworn sibling with our family and make her Xiu’s sister."

His son, secretly in love with a girl, and then, the Old Madam, holding the hand of the girl his son was enamoured with, wanted to make his wife a sworn relative, turning his love interest into... a sister?

How must his son have felt at that moment? Ambassador Qin Dingkang’s expression turned very solemn, "We cannot accept this sworn kinship; I’ll speak to the Old Madam about it."

"Yes, I thought the same; our Qin family is a distinguished noble family, how could we casually accept someone as a sworn relative? I don’t know what sort of spell Ye Miss has cast on the Old Madam to make her so biased towards her." Madam Qin continued, thinking her husband finally understood her worries, her expression growing even more solemn.
