Qin Jiu didn't reply, but quietly moved Qiao Weiyang's hand away from her shoulder. Meeting the man's eyes, Qin Jiu raised an eyebrow, indicating that Qiao Weiyang could continue speaking.
"I know you have nothing to do with the murder last time. Are you okay now?”Qiao Weiyang changed his posture and asked Qin Jiu seriously.
He wasn't asking this out of politeness. He really cared about Qin Jiu. Even though he wasn't his boyfriend now, Qiao Weiyang still felt responsible for Qin Jiu.
Moreover, Qiao Weiyang was already starting to regret that Qin Jiu's current boyfriend was not him.
"Thank you for your concern. This matter really has nothing to do with me, so I'm fine.”Qin Jiu continued to answer politely.
In fact, she was somewhat disgusted by this question. Firstly, the fear she had experienced previously had not completely subsided. Once someone asked, it would force her to think about what had happened before. Secondly, they were at home at the moment. She was not sure if Grandma was asleep. If Grandma heard this, it would only increase her worry.
"Have you been with him these days?”Qiao Weiyang asked again after getting an answer that he was not satisfied with. It was obvious that the person he was talking about was Lu Chuan.
When Qin Jiu heard this, she could not help but raise her head and look straight into Qiao Weiyang's eyes. This question made her feel even more disgusted than the previous one. It was a personal matter, and Qin Jiu really did not want to talk about it any further.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao. This question doesn't seem to have anything to do with you.”Qin Jiu replied stiffly. She had already used the words " Mr. Qiao ", so she must be really angry.
Qiao Weiyang could also hear the dissatisfaction in Qin Jiu's tone." Little Jiu, don't be like this. I'm just concerned about you."”The man explained anxiously as if he was afraid of being misunderstood.
"Thank you. I'm fine." Qin Jiu suppressed the anger in his heart and replied to Qiao Weiyang. Then, he turned around and prepared to enter the house without caring about the other party's emotional changes.
However, Qiao Weiyang did not let Qin Jiu leave. The man stretched out his hand and pulled the woman back." Tell me honestly, is that true?”Qiao Weiyang's gaze became sharp, as if he wanted to pierce through Qin Jiu's heart.
"A man like Lu Chuan is too dangerous. He's not someone you can control.”Before Qin Jiu could reply, Lu Chuan continued," Xiaojiu, leave him!”
Listening to Qiao Weiyang's self-righteous tone, Qin Jiu felt like he was about to explode." I know what kind of person he is better than you do. It doesn't seem like you need to ask who I'm with. Who do you think you are? What right do you have to interfere in my life? Do you think that just because you helped Grandma and me, you can tell me what to do in my life? Don't you think you're too naive?"”Qin Jiu threw out all the words that he had been holding back in his heart." You should leave. I don't want to quarrel with you or see you now."”This time, Qin Jiu's order to leave was much more direct than before.
Qiao Weiyang still did not move," Little Jiu, you know that I've always been doing this for your own good. Listen to me, there's nothing wrong.”
"Yes, you're doing this for my own good. You'll never be wrong, so when you insisted on breaking up, it was also for my own good. There's nothing wrong with that. Qiao Weiyang, do you know that your greatest flaw is that you're too self-centered?”Qin Jiu took the cup on the table and knocked it hard. It was obvious that she was really angry.
" Little Jiu…" Qiao Weiyang looked at Qin Jiu in a daze. He had never seen Qin Jiu with such an imposing manner and seemed to be a little shocked." Do you still mind our breakup?"”Qiao Weiyang asked without hesitation.
Qin Jiu suddenly laughed lightly at this moment. His smile was somewhat contemptuous." See, I was right, right? You'll always live according to your own thoughts.”Qin Jiu glanced at the man who asked the question." My feelings for you died the moment you turned around and left. I admit that I did mind our breakup, but I no longer love you.”Qin Jiu said the last sentence lightly.
The pain she had suffered in the past was probably because she really didn't care anymore. From the moment she accepted Lu Chuan, there was really no one else in Qin Jiu's heart.
" Little Jiu, I…" Qiao Weiyang's eyes flashed with pain. He opened his mouth and called out to Qin Jiu, wanting to continue but was quickly interrupted by Qin Jiu.
"Alright, Grandma is resting. You should go back first!”After saying this, Qin Jiu turned around and entered the house without caring about Qiao Weiyang's reaction.
Looking at the woman's back view as she turned around without hesitation, Qiao Weiyang felt a little upset. Even now, he still didn't understand why he insisted on leaving Qin Jiu.
At first, he thought it was a sibling relationship, but it had unknowingly evolved into Qin Jiu's love. It was just that he hadn't realized it yet, or else he wouldn't be feeling pain now.
Sighing helplessly, Qiao Weiyang finally left the house in loneliness.
Qin Jiu's mood was also a little chaotic at the moment. Firstly, it was because of her grandmother's health condition. Secondly, it was because Qiao Weiyang had said some inexplicable things. She sat on her bed and was lost in her thoughts. It was only when she heard movement from her grandmother's room that she quickly got up.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" Qin Jiu, who was standing at the door of Grandma's room, looked inside in panic. Old Madam Qin tried her best to remember that a glass cup on the bedside table had fallen to the ground.
"Little Jiu, Grandma is thirsty. Go get a glass of water.”Old Mrs. Qin looked at the person standing at the door and said apologetically," This person is useless when he's old!”The last sentence was a little self-deprecating.
"Grandma, lie down first. I'll pour it for you.”When Qin Jiu heard those words, he felt extremely upset. He did not know if it was because of self-blame or guilt. After helping Grandma up, she turned around and left.
After handing the water to Grandma, Qin Jiu cleaned up the broken glass on the ground." Grandma, I'm sorry.”After taking the cup from the old lady, Qin Jiu apologized softly. She did not even dare to look into her grandmother's eyes.
"You quarreled with that child Weiyang?”Old Mrs. Qin asked carefully when she saw that her granddaughter was unhappy.
"Grandma, no." Hearing Grandma's question, Qin Jiu immediately denied it." We just said a few more words.”
"Grandma heard everything in the room." The old lady continued," Grandma's body is not working, not her brain. Little Jiu, do you really think Grandma is old and muddle-headed?"”The old lady's voice became softer and softer.
"Grandma, what are you saying? You know that's not what I meant.”Qin Jiu shifted his feet and sat beside the old lady." I didn't want you to worry. Qiao Weiyang and I didn't really quarrel. We just had a few more words. Besides, there's nothing to quarrel with him anymore."”Qin Jiu's mood also seemed a little down.
To put it bluntly, she and Qiao Weiyang were just friends now. If Qiao Weiyang continued to be so inexplicable, Qin Jiu was planning to not even be friends with him anymore.
Wasn't it just that she was in a relationship with him before? And from what she thought about it now, it was at most a one-sided love. She didn't like people to be stubborn about this matter, and she didn't like people to disrupt her normal life rhythm. The past should have been turned over a long time ago, right?
"Actually, this child Weiyang is quite a good person.”Old Mrs. Qin thought for a moment before she spoke." You've grown up. What's going on between you two?"”
Qin Jiu was at a loss for what to do after hearing Grandma's question." Grandma, I know that Qiao Weiyang is a good person. I wasn't by your side when your leg was injured this time. It's all thanks to him for helping."”Qin Jiu glanced at Grandma's face as he spoke.
"But I don't want to confuse this matter with feelings. We broke up a long time ago.”After thinking for a moment, Qin Jiu still told the truth.
"Hey!" The old lady sighed softly." It's your own business. You can make your own decisions. Grandma is getting old and can't care so much.”The old lady said this with some regret.
This made Qin Jiu feel even more guilty. She lowered her head silently and did not speak for a long time.
Feelings were not something that could be forced. She could only say that there was no fate between her and Qiao Weiyang. No matter how much the old lady liked Qiao Weiyang, there was nothing she could do.
"Then who was the man who came back with you last time?”Seeing that Qin Jiu had not spoken for a long time, the old lady probed again. The man she was referring to was Lu Chuan.
She didn't know much about the world of young people, but she had been through it before. She could see some clues from the way Lu Chuan looked at Qin Jiu.
"Him?" Qin Jiu suddenly stood up from the bed when she heard that. Her reaction was a little big, and even her face was a little red." He's my current boyfriend. His name is Lu Chuan.”Although she felt a little embarrassed, she had never thought of hiding it.
"You didn't go home these days because you were with him?”The old lady's tone suddenly became serious." Don't complain that I'm long-winded. I don't understand the matters of you young people, but you're a girl. You should know your limits.”The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
The old lady's words were very obscure, but Qin Jiu still understood. An unmarried girl was hanging out with a man all day long and had not returned home for so many days. If word got out, her reputation would not be good.
The old lady did not know what had happened to Qin Jiu, so she was especially interested in her reputation.
"I know, Grandma." Qin Jiu lowered his head and replied guiltily," It's not what you think.”She wanted to find some words to explain, but she didn't know how to do so.
It was obvious that she had intimate contact with Lu Chuan last night. If she wanted to explain, she would definitely not be able to explain it with a hundred mouths. She might as well not say anything.
"It's best that you know it yourself. Grandma doesn't mean to blame you. Last time, I heard from Weiyang that something happened to you.”In the end, the old lady still cared about her granddaughter from the bottom of her heart, but she was helpless that no one could tell her accurate news.
"It's fine now." Qin Jiu shook his head sullenly.
