She turned on the faucet and washed her hands. She wiped her hands on her apron and trotted to the door. She opened the door and smiled. "Why are you here so early today?"
"Qianying." At the door, Yu Zixiu and Chi Yuanzhen smiled warmly at Yu Qianying while carrying bags of gifts.
Yu Qianying's smile suddenly froze. When she saw who was standing at the door, she stopped smiling coldly and was about to close the door without saying anything.
Yu Zixiu was still carrying things in both hands. He held the door and prevented Yu Qianying from closing it.
"Qianying, we are brother and sister. Can't we talk it out? Why don't you say anything and lock us out? "Yu Zixiu held the door and talked to Yu Qianying in a good voice.
Yu Qianying pressed her lips tightly. She couldn't suppress the anger in her chest. For the first time in so many years, she wanted to cry.
When the Song family went bankrupt, she didn't cry because she knew she had a husband and a daughter. She couldn't cry because she had to go through the difficulties with Song Donglin. As long as she cried, the anger in the family would disappear.
Before they had time to contact their relatives, and Yu Qianying didn't even want to contact her relatives for fear of implicating them, the Yu family drew a line with her first. She didn't cry.
However, with reddened eyes, she kept apologizing to Song Donglin for having such an in-law.
Liang Lihua had come to her door and insulted her and Song Yu. She had straightened her back and fiercely returned Liang Lihua's words to her. She did not even cry.
But now, her eldest brother, Yu Zixiu, who had so mercilessly drawn a line with her for so many years, actually brought his wife to her house after Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi's marriage was confirmed. He smiled at her with a coquettish face, as if nothing had happened, and looked as if they loved each other.
Yu Qianying couldn't help but want to cry because of their shamelessness.
Her throat and eyes were sore. She really wished she had never had these brothers.
"I have nothing to say to you." Yu Qianying sniffed and said coldly.
"Qianying, why do you have to do this? No matter how big the hatred between brother and sister is, you don't have to be so cruel. Anyway, we are still brother and sister. Blood ties can't be cut. "Yu Zixiu sighed and said sincerely.
"Brother and sister? I haven't been one for a long time. "Yu Zixiu couldn't close the door, so Yu Qianying blocked the entrance and refused to let them in.
No matter how thick-skinned Yu Zixiu was, he wouldn't push her away and force his way in.
Didn't they come here to please the Song Family and build connections with the Qi Family?
Since that was the case, Yu Zixiu would not dare to be rude to her.
"Qianying, I know you are angry and resentful towards me." Yu Zixiu paused and thought for a moment. "After all, we haven't seen each other for so many years, but we are still siblings. We can talk about anything. Don't tell me you won't acknowledge me as your brother for the rest of your life? "
Yu Qianying smiled coldly. She really wished that she could snort them away with a single sound.
"I remember that your Yu Family drew a clear line with me a long time ago. From the moment the Song Family went bankrupt eight years ago, I was no longer a member of the Yu Family. Mr. Yu, since you drew a clear line, please be straightforward. Don't pester us again after so many years. Just be straightforward and never see us again. Even if you meet us accidentally, just pass by as a stranger. You don't even need to nod your head. " Yu Qianying's voice was extremely cold. Her heart was really dead to a certain extent. She could no longer raise a trace of sibling affection for the person in front of her.
Yu Qianying couldn't feel the blood ties that couldn't be cut off a few years ago.
After the Song Family went bankrupt, Song Donglin became a taxi driver and even drove at night. Yu Qianying became a housekeeper, cleaning, washing clothes and cooking. Song Yu began to work after graduating from high school and went to college to study part-time.
However, the Yu Family didn't show up even once. They didn't even come to inquire about how they were doing.
From then on, she had regarded herself as an only daughter with no brothers.
Blood ties?
At that time, she was so hurt that she couldn't feel it.
"Qianying, I know you hate us, and you have reason to hate us. At that time, I had just taken over the Yu Family. The pressure was too great. I was only afraid that the Yu Family would be destroyed in my hands and go into decline. You can't imagine that kind of pressure. At that time, I could only maintain the status quo. I didn't dare to say that I would make the Yu Family stronger. I admit that I was cowardly at that time. I was afraid that because of the Song Family, the Yu Family would also be weakened in my hands. "
Yu Zixiu said painfully, his face full of sincerity.
He put all the gifts he brought on the ground and pushed the door with both hands. "Qianying, no matter how many reasons I say, I know that I'm wrong. I'm not here to make excuses for what I did in the past. I'm here to sincerely apologize to you. Qianying, please forgive your old brother! "
"Everyone makes mistakes. I was confused at that time. I was blinded by interests and burned my heart. I'm sorry and hurt your heart. After so many years, I know that you absolutely have reason to hate me. But today, I sincerely came to apologize to you. "
"Ha!" Yu Qianying was so angry that she laughed. She was so angry that she laughed at the shamelessness of the person in front of her. "Mr. Yu, I really admire you. You go wherever there are interests. As long as it can benefit you, you can disregard your face. I'm really curious about how much you can lower yourself for the sake of interests now. Is it for the sake of asking for my forgiveness now? Even if I let you lie on the ground and let me step on your face, would you agree? "
"Qianying …" Yu Zixiu looked at her bitterly. "I know you're not such a person. After all, I'm your big brother. We're connected by blood. You're too kind to do such a thing."
"So, you all came to bully me, didn't you? My kindness gave you the chance to bully me, didn't you? You really live up to the saying that kind people are bullied by others! " Yu Qianying suddenly raised her voice. She was so angry that her whole body was trembling. But no matter how she shouted, she couldn't vent all the anger and grievances she had accumulated over the years.
Her eyes were red. She didn't care if the neighbors heard the joke.
She knew that there would be many times when these people would come to her door shamelessly. She didn't know how many times she would be criticized by the neighbors behind her back, so she didn't care.
"Yu Zixiu! You two brothers, you family, don't you have any shame! "Yu Qianying said with a red face and gritted teeth. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she was almost hysterical.
"Do you dare to say that you're really here to apologize?" Yu Qianying sneered coldly. She clenched her hands tightly and didn't close the door.
Anyway, Yu Zixiu was holding the door, so she couldn't close it.
"If you really know that you've wronged me, why didn't you come to apologize earlier or later? Why did you come to apologize when Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi were engaged, discussed the wedding date, and were about to get married? Do you think I'm a fool?! "Yu Qianying said angrily.
"Don't you want to use our family to climb up to the Qi family and become relatives with them? Dream on! You came when there were benefits, but where did you go when our family needed help? You were in a hurry to disassociate yourself from us! Yu Zixiu, let me tell you, when the Song family went bankrupt, I didn't plan to ask anyone for help! That was our family's business. If we wanted to hold on, the company was a bottomless pit. I didn't want to drag anyone down. But the way you were scared like a grandson really opened my eyes! "
"Point to your own conscience and say that if it weren't for Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi, would you come here to apologize to us today? Back then, when the Song family went bankrupt, Old Song went to work as a taxi driver. He even drove at night. He couldn't even afford his own car, so he could only work for other drivers. He drove all day and night, afraid that he would run into gangsters and bad people at night. When he was driving, he had to hold it in when he wanted to go to the toilet. Where were you? "
"When I went to work as a part-time worker, kneeling on the ground and mopping the floor, where were you? Song Yu graduated from high school. Even though he had a scholarship, he couldn't even pay the rest of the tuition fees. He was forced to work for the whole summer. When other children were celebrating graduation and traveling everywhere, where were you? "
"When Song Yu went to university, he still worked and studied, waking up early and working late. He didn't even have time to sleep. Where were you?! I'm not a beggar. I'm not asking you for anything. But at that time, you didn't even recognize me as a sister or a niece. Why are you calling yourself family now? "
"Even if it's an ordinary family, when their niece goes to university, the whole family will be happy and reward her. But you are even worse than an ordinary family! Other children are playing everywhere, celebrating graduation and getting into university. But our Song Yu is busy earning tuition fees! "
"Yu Zixiu, tell me, what did you give Song Yu? You haven't done anything, but now you want to take advantage of him? Why do you always think things are so good?! Don't talk about family not having to make do with giving and receiving. I'm particular! I've done so much for the Yu family, but what did you give me in return? What you gave was to kick us out of the house! But you haven't done anything for us, and now you want to repay us? "
"Apologize?" Yu Qianying really wanted to throw her head back and laugh. She raised her tensed hand and pointed angrily at Yu Zixiu's nose. "Now you want to take advantage of us with a superficial apology?"
Yu Qianying lowered her hand and looked down at the gifts on the ground. "I don't want these gifts! I have a son-in-law like Qi Chengzhi. I can have anything I want. Why would I want your gifts? Even if it's the Song family's company, we can't be bothered to work for it now. But if we really want it, Qi Chengzhi can open it for us with just a word! "
"You want to ask for forgiveness with these gifts?" Yu Qianying grabbed the gifts and threw them down the stairs. The gifts rolled down the stairs. "Dream on! Don't use these things to disgust me. Get lost! "
This was an old house. There was no elevator, so they could only climb the stairs. There were three units on each floor. The Song family's house happened to be at the top. On the right side of the door was the staircase railing, and below it was the stairs of the lower half of the floor.
Yu Qianying just threw all the gifts to her right hand side and directly threw them down.
Even now, there was still the sound of the gifts hitting the stairs.
Chi Yuanzhen showed an unnatural expression. When Yu Qianying threw all the gifts down, she couldn't help but want to lose her temper, but she held it back.
Yu Zixiu looked at the gifts that were thrown down. His expression was not good, but it was only for a moment. Then, he put on a painful expression.
"Qianying, I know that these gifts are not enough to make you forgive me. I didn't expect you to forgive me immediately by coming here today. Even if you say that you don't recognize me, I still treat you as my sister. I know that coming to you at this time will definitely cause you to misunderstand. However, I really do want to do my part for Song Yu. "Yu Zixiu said earnestly.
"You're right. I don't deny that Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi's marriage is indeed very good for the Yu family. If I deny this, then I really think I'm a fool and too hypocritical. "
Yu Qianying snorted coldly. Was he not hypocritical now?
"But have you ever thought that if we reconcile, it would be good for Song Yu too? You said that I've never done anything for Song Yu. When she was at her most sad, we just stood by and watched. I was really wrong about this, and I really regret it. But it's all in the past. I can't turn back time to make up for what happened in the past. "
"So what I can do is to make up for it as much as possible in the future. I won't make the same mistake again." Yu Zixiu said solemnly, "I came to apologize to you this time with sincerity. Of course, it's not just these gifts. I saw this opportunity for me to make up for it. I can help Song Yu, so I thickened my skin and came here. "
Yu Zixiu saw Yu Qianying's cold expression and forced a bitter smile. "Qianying, can you let us in to talk? It's not good for the neighbors to hear us talking about our family's private matters at the door. We'll make a fool of ourselves. "
Yu Qianying snorted coldly. She revealed a mocking expression and was about to close the door. "If you're afraid of making a fool of yourself, get lost! I didn't ask you to stand in front of our door and say these things! "
Yu Zixiu's expression changed. He quickly blocked the door to prevent her from closing it. "Okay, okay, okay. We won't go in. We'll just stand here."
This time, he was afraid that Yu Qianying would close the door when he wasn't paying attention. He kept his hands on the door and didn't move. His posture was definitely not good, nor was it graceful. But Yu Zixiu couldn't care less now.
"Qianying, I'm here this time to help Song Yu," Yu Zixiu said.
"What? Are you going to be like Yu Zidong and his wife and come here to let Song Yu know her place and not cling to Qi Chengzhi? They're about to get married now. Isn't it a little too late for you to say this now? "Yu Qianying raised her eyebrows and mocked.
"Qianying, listen to me first. I'm not here to persuade Song Yu to break up with Qi Chengzhi." Yu Zixiu patiently said in a serious tone, "On the contrary, I've always been helping her. It's just that you don't know it."
"I know that Keyao has always liked Qi Chengzhi. Even if Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu are together and are about to get married, she still won't give up. I've tried to persuade her at home and personally went to Zidong's house to tell her not to disturb Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi, but she didn't listen. I even went to Zidong and even shed all pretense of cordiality with Liang Lihua at the dinner table. But Keyao is too stubborn and won't listen. I can't do anything about it. "
"But I'm definitely supporting Song Yu." Yu Zixiu said, "No matter what Keyao does, I won't support her. Without the support of her family, her small family can't make any waves."
"Besides, Qi Chengzhi likes Song Yu. How can I have the ability to break them up? Wouldn't that be overestimating myself?" Yu Zixiu smiled bitterly. "But Qianying, have you thought about it? After all, the gap between your family and the Qi family is too big. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's like the difference between clouds and mud. "
Seeing that Yu Qianying was about to say something sarcastic again, Yu Zixiu hurriedly said, "Don't be in a hurry to scold me. I'm not belittling you. Listen to me first. Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi are getting married. The bride can't just bring nothing, can she? To put it bluntly, a marriage between a big family is a combination of two forces and two groups behind them. "
"But now that the Song family has already gone bankrupt, Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu's marriage can't be called a marriage. So at least the bride should bring some dowry, right?" Yu Zixiu sighed. "Qianying, even if it's a marriage between an ordinary family, the bride will bring dowry. At the very least, she will bring a car. Even if it's an ordinary family, the bride will still be an ordinary family."
"But Song Yu is different. She's marrying Qi Chengzhi. The gap between them is so big. In the future, will she really go there empty-handed? " Yu Zixiu said, "I know that all these years, your family must have some savings. On top of that, Song Yu works hard and is usually frugal, so she must have saved some money over the years. It's enough to buy a car."
"But if Song Yu marries into an ordinary family, this will be enough. The car doesn't need to be luxurious. It's just a hundred or two hundred thousand. It won't be embarrassing for her to go as a dowry. But she's marrying into the Qi family. Why would they want a car that's worth a few hundred thousand? If it's worth millions, they have a row of cars in their garage! "
"Your family is already so different from the Qi family. If Song Yu marries into the Qi family in such a shabby way, won't her in-laws look down on her? Moreover, she will be bullied in her in-laws' house. "Yu Zixiu sighed deeply, as if he was very worried about Song Yu's future.
Yu Qianying did not hide her sneer. Her tone was sarcastic. "Then what do you want?"
"That's why I'm here today. What I mean is that I'll pay for Song Yu's dowry. I'm here today to discuss with you about what to give Song Yu's dowry. How much will the dowry cost? What kind of car should the dowry be? I've sent someone to look at a few good villas in City B two days ago. Once I've decided, I'll go to each villa to see which one is more suitable. "Yu Zixiu spoke very sincerely. He did everything himself. He was really worried about Song Yu.
"Then, should we discuss again and announce the marriage between the Yu family and the Qi family? If the Qi family has any business, we should also take care of the Yu family. To be more precise, we should take care of you. At the same time, we can help your family to enter the upper-class circle and get to know the people from the other eight big families. Fortunately, Kexin is already married. Otherwise, how can you let Kexin marry the young masters of the eight big families? "Yu Qianying sneered unceremoniously. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and stood casually.
Even though Yu Zixiu was thick-skinned, his face turned a little red after being ridiculed by Yu Qianying.
Chi Yuanzhen could not hide the ugly expression on her face. She endured it painfully by the side.
Since last night, Yu Zixiu had been telling her that Yu Qianying would definitely not be nice to her this time. She might even say some unpleasant words. But no matter what Yu Qianying said, she had to endure it.
Forbearance now could be exchanged for glory in the future.
Compared with entering the upper-class circle in the future, becoming in-laws with the Qi family, gaining endless benefits, and elevating the Yu family to a higher level, second only to the eight big families, what was the big deal about being scolded by Yu Qianying now?
As long as he thought about the future, Yu Zixiu had to endure it even if he was trampled under Yu Qianying's feet now!
Therefore, even if Chi Yuanzhen cursed Yu Qianying thousands of times in her heart, and the expression on her face was very ugly, she still did not say a word and let Yu Qianying mock her like this.
