Mrs. Li was very well-informed, and soon, Zhou Yiren learned the ins and outs of the situation.
It turned out that her son was seriously injured while trying to save a girl, and a surge of anger, frustration, and heartache overwhelmed her.
No one knew how many times she pored over Lu Qisheng's information that night, from family background to education, to work location and address.
Every detail was meticulously examined.
Especially when she found out that her son had bought an apartment for her, and they were living together; her anger flared up even more.
Zhou Yiren's relationship with her son could be described as harmonious or not, depending on the perspective. She had a strong desire for control and planned many things, expecting others to follow her lead.
When he was younger, Qin Xinyi was obedient and cute; she listened to whatever Zhou Yiren said. But as he grew older and became rebellious, he started ignoring her advice.
Sometimes when Zhou Yiren pushed too hard, he would sulk in silence, refusing to speak or resist but stubbornly refusing to do things her way.
Gradually, as work became busier and managing him tiring, Zhou Yiren began to turn a blind eye to some matters. Although she opposed many things, she no longer used forceful means to stop them, such as with the restaurant he was currently running.
However, her lenient attitude did not mean he could do whatever he pleased without consequences.
She was very dissatisfied with his girlfriend.
From the first glance at the photo, she felt an immediate aversion. The girl was cute with big eyes and a bright smile, complete with two dimples on her face.
But for some reason, Zhou Yiren found the girl's smile particularly irritating. Perhaps it was because thinking of how Her Father had beaten Xin Yi made her grit her teeth in anger; she wished she could drag him out from the ground and give him a beating.
What kind of character could a daughter raised in such a family environment possibly have?
Zhou Yiren scoffed at the thought.
Thus, Zhou Yiren would never agree to their relationship.
She didn’t ask Qin Xinyi directly; she knew her son's personality. Since he chose to keep it from her, it meant he understood that she would be furious if she found out. Therefore, he would never share any information with her or agree with what she said.
So she could only approach Lu Qisheng. If the girl had any sense and left on her own, that would be best; if not, then Zhou Yiren wouldn’t hold back.
After several days of searching, she finally gathered all of Lu Qisheng's information and discovered that she worked at a kindergarten as a Teacher.
It is strange to say, but she originally wanted to delve into the resume of Lu Qisheng's career to see if there were any major mistakes, so she could have a more comprehensive grasp of her weaknesses and potentially use them to pressure her if necessary.
However, she was unable to retrieve any information.
For some reason, the information from that kindergarten was very tightly controlled, and all privacy details about the teachers and children were completely inaccessible.
At this point, she decided to give up.
After all, her family background would always be her Achilles' heel.
Zhou Yiren was a businesswoman who understood negotiation well; she knew how to leverage what she had in hand to exert pressure or exchange for everything she wanted.
Thus, she arrived.
With hostility and a determination to break them apart, she tracked down Lu Qisheng's itinerary and came to confront her late at night.
What she didn’t expect was to suddenly encounter Shu Ran.
Before her stood three girls holding hands affectionately, looking like... colleagues? Or perhaps good friends?
After greeting Shu Ran, Zhou Yiren's sharp gaze remained fixed on Lu Qisheng without any pretense of concealment. Lu Qisheng felt uncomfortable under that stare, sensing a palpable hostility. Even the usually oblivious Li Xin could feel that something was off in the atmosphere; she glanced at Shu Ran, her eyes filled with questions.
The wind was a bit chilly, giving Shu Ran a headache. She rubbed her temples and broke the awkward silence first, asking, "Auntie, what are you doing here?"
Shu Ran wasn't very familiar with Qin Xinyi's mother; she wasn't fond of socializing and rarely engaged in conversations with these people outside of polite exchanges at gatherings. Therefore, she didn't know much about their personalities.
So when she suddenly saw Zhou Yiren approaching with such an imposing demeanor today, she was taken aback and almost didn't react in time.
However, when Zhou Yiren looked at her with surprise and then cast a complex gaze at Lu Qisheng, Shu Ran instantly understood.
Upon hearing her question, Zhou Yiren turned to look at her and replied directly and calmly, "Oh, I'm here to find someone."
Finding someone clearly did not mean looking for her.
Shu Ran smiled lightly, feeling that the situation was somewhat awkward. As she noticed Lu Qisheng still looking confused about what was happening, Shu Ran bit her lip and awkwardly introduced, "This is my aunt, Xin Yi's mother."
The first part of the sentence was directed at Li Xin; the latter part... Shu Ran sighed.
Lu Qisheng's face suddenly turned pale. The person in front of her was Qin Xinyi's mother.
When she was with Qin Xinyi, she had never met his mother, not for any other reason, but simply because Xin Yi wouldn't let her. Moreover, he never mentioned his mother; the most he talked about was Qin Xian.
Lu Qisheng was very smart; she knew the reason. Back at the hospital, she had overheard him once, when Qin Xinyi instructed Qin Xian to keep the news under wraps and not let his mother hear about his injuries.
At first, Lu Qisheng thought he was just worried about his mother's feelings, so she advised him that it would be better to tell her. Keeping it a secret couldn't be good in the long run.
But he only smiled and said nothing.
Until one time, she heard Qin Xian ask him if he was really going to be with that little girl. If Auntie found out, you know how she would react; she would do everything in her power to stop it.
Especially if she knew that Lu Qisheng's father died in the same way as your father—both killed by someone with a beer bottle—and that the murderer was Lu Qisheng. Just imagine how Auntie would respond.
She didn't hear Qin Xinyi's answer; all that responded to him was the silence in the hospital room.
So, this was how his father died.
She licked her dry lips, her voice hoarse and rough. "Hello, Auntie."
The beautiful dream had ended, and on this cold night, she felt like a defeated soldier, having lost all hope.
