Chapter 455: Chapter 454: Regretting to Death!

"Family?" Wu Zhengyang muttered in confusion, "What family?"

He knew all the close relatives from Lin Qiu’s grandmother and maternal grandmother’s sides. So, where did these relatives pop up from?

Seeing her son like this, Wu’s mother immediately lost her anger and, not minding the embarrassment, said, "I vaguely heard something about grandparents and an uncle, and then something about a photo looking similar..."

Originally, she just wanted to listen in good faith to see who had come to their house, but the more she heard, the more her heart sank.

If they weren’t very close relatives, even if they came to visit once, they probably wouldn’t visit often in the future.

But could it be the same with relatives from the maternal grandmother’s side? They obviously looked like leaders with money; who wouldn’t want to get close to such relatives?

Wu Zhenghong exclaimed, "So, it’s relatives from their maternal grandmother’s side that have come?"

Wu Zhengyang shook his head in disbelief, "Impossible! I know Lin Qiu’s maternal grandmother’s relatives!"

He knew more about these matters than his family did.

Recently, Lin Qiu’s cousin from his mother’s side had an affair with their stepmother, which resulted in Lin Aiguo getting injured; had it not been long since that incident?

Wu’s mother sighed, "What’s impossible? They have already found each other and recognized each other! From now on, our family will become the laughingstock of this area!"

Because of the issue with their youngest breaking up with Lin Qiu, the nearby neighbors had already changed their impression of them; one could feel that their attitudes were vastly different from before.

Not to mention others; Wang Lan from the small store across the street even made sarcastic remarks to her face.

If everyone found out about these relatives of Lin Qiu’s family, there’s no need to guess what people might be saying behind their backs!

She had even said in front of Lin Xia and her sister that Miao Xue’s family was powerful and influential, criticizing that their family was inadequate.

Now isn’t this a slap in the face? Wu’s mother felt immensely frustrated!

Wu Zhenghong looked at Wu Zhengyang, who was silent and sullen, and she moved her lips but said nothing.

What good would any words of comfort do?

After all, her brother had done wrong by Lin Qiu.

Later, when their mother made a scene with Lin Qiu’s family, it seemed as if all their past good relations had been used up.

In his heart, Wu Zhengyang was actually happy for Lin Qiu, but seeing his own mother like this, he didn’t dare show even a bit of that sentiment.

He believed that with such good relatives, Lin Qiu would surely find a very suitable partner in the future.

Thinking this made him feel somewhat better.

Otherwise, any woman in their family who got engaged and then broke it off would have people gossiping behind her back.

Wu’s mother suddenly slapped her thigh, "Ah! To think we knew nothing about this beforehand! I don’t think Lin Qiu knew either, but Lin Xia must have known and deliberately kept it a secret!"

The regret inside her was like spurting magma, bubbling up.

If she had known earlier about such relatives in Lin Qiu’s family, she would have humbled herself and not let their relationship deteriorate to this extent.

If their youngest was still courting Lin Qiu, she could surely have benefitted from such connections!

But now that the two families had fallen out, it would be difficult to get close again!

However... maybe not...

Wu’s mother suddenly brightened up, whispering, "Youngest! You haven’t gotten engaged to Miao Xue yet. You must clarify things with her quickly!

"The thing that happened that day must have been her doing behind the scenes; otherwise, how could a straightforward kid like you have ended up like that... and just look at her appearance!" At this point, she wasn’t going to praise Miao Xue anymore.

Wu Zhengyang felt both speechless and ashamed, "Mom! Why are you bringing this up now?"

Wu Zhenghong also felt that such words were unbearable, "Let’s eat! Don’t we still have to work in the afternoon?" Things had already come to this point, thinking and saying more were useless.

Wu’s mother frowned deeply and rebuked them in a low voice, "Eat! How can you even think of eating at a time like this!"

Afterward, she looked at Wu Zhengyang with an accusing tone, "It’s not that I didn’t warn you, Aiguo! I tried to stop you from talking about breaking up, but you just wouldn’t listen to advice!

If you hadn’t mentioned it, you could have simply explained it more clearly to Lin Qiu and Lin Xia. Would Miao Xue have had the nerve to say you slept with her in front of everyone?"

How could she not trust him, after all, she is a girl, how could she brazenly say such things in front of others?

Wu Zhengyang sneered coldly, "She would dare! She dared too much!"

He had sized up Miao Xue’s character; had he dared to deny it at the time, she would have dared to accuse him of rape.

Rape is a serious crime now, his life would be ruined.

Besides, had he not taken the initiative to break up with Lin Qiu, Miao Xue would definitely have used many underhanded tactics against Lin Qiu.

Lin Qiu was so kind and pure, how could she possibly handle Miao Xue?

If something happened later, wouldn’t he be even more sorry to Lin Qiu?

So, at that moment, he thought it would be better to remove Lin Qiu from the equation and let himself go to hell.

Wu’s mother disagreed completely. She believed that Miao Xue would not do such a thing.

She lowered her voice and said, "Aiguo! You better clear things up with Miao Xue quickly! Then treat Lin Qiu nicely and see if you can reconcile! I think Lin Qiu still has feelings for you, maybe you can get back together!

If they’re still angry with me, I’ll steel myself to go and apologize properly..."

For the sake of her only son’s future, she was willing to do anything.

Wu Zhengyang’s eyes widened in shock, "Mom! What are you saying! What kind of person would that make me? What am I treating Lin Qiu as?"

He had never realized before that his mother could be such a person!

"Aiguo! Mom is saying all this just for..."

Wu Zhenghong was also disappointed. She had always heard her mother speak highly of her mother-in-law, but now she felt her mother was worse than her mother-in-law.

The siblings no longer paid attention to Wu’s mother and stepped out of the house together to get some fresh air.

Wu Zhengyang looked at the two jeeps, his mind in complete disarray.

At that moment, the sound of walking and talking came from the neighboring courtyard; it seemed like someone from the household was coming out.

Wu Zhengyang didn’t want Lin Qiu to see him, and he was too ashamed to face her relatives, so he quickly hid back inside the gate.

Wu Zhenghong was too late to move back; Lin Xia and the others along with Qin Zeming had already walked out of the gate.

Lin Xia cast a brief glance at Wu Zhenghong entering the gate and chose to ignore her.

Earlier, when they were inside, Lin Qiu immediately looked dismayed when she heard Wu Zhengyang asking his mother what she was up to.

Song Zhiyi, who had always disliked the old lady next door, saw Lin Qiu’s reaction and asked what was the reason.

Lin Xia did not avoid the issue and explained everything; Elder Qin was very angry. His granddaughter had been so wronged, and he felt the need to do something to erase the hatred in his heart.

Qin Ziheng and the others also immediately expressed their desire to deal with the Wu Family properly!

Still, it was Lin Qiu who advised them, saying she no longer wanted any ties with the Wu Family and asked everyone to let the matter go and not do anything.

The Qin Family, though frustrated, had no choice but to temporarily respect Lin Qiu’s wishes.

At that moment, their gazes cold, they glanced at the Wu Family and then got into their cars...
