After lunch, the relatives seemed to return to their rooms to rest, but in reality, they did not.
They went to the old tea garden in the backyard where they used to have afternoon tea to gather.
"That girl brought by Qin Yue," the uncle said with a gloomy expression, "Is so rude."
At the dining table, he said one thing, and Bai Ningning retorted him. That retort almost gave the old man a heart attack.
"Yeah, it's really rude."
"A country girl is just a country girl, lacking any upbringing."
After a few comments, they noticed that the second uncle was silent and curiously asked, "Old Two, why aren't you speaking? She's slapping your face."
At this moment, the second uncle slammed the table and exclaimed, "That cunning little fox has some tricks up her sleeve; we underestimated her!"
"?"
"What?"
"What's going on?"
The second uncle signaled everyone to quiet down and lowered his voice: "Our initial analysis was that she's an incapable little country girl, and any younger generation could easily push her away from Qin Yue, right?"
"Yeah."
"Still true now."
"Otherwise?"
During that lunch, Bai Ningning only showed her arrogant and rude side, and had no other abilities. This was undoubtedly a point deduction.
But the second uncle didn't think so: "You're wrong. She's a cunning little fox, very scheming!"
"How so?"
"Her actions are clearly aimed at winning over the second young lady of the Qin family," the second uncle calmly analyzed, "As long as she wins over the family, it will be easier for her to establish a foothold in the family."
"But we are also part of the Qin family. Doesn't she worry about offending us?"
"We are just relatives and don't live together," the second uncle said, "But her family lives together."
A few people suddenly realized.
"That makes sense; I didn't see she was so scheming."
"Cutting ties decisively, she's willing to abandon us distant relatives whom she rarely sees, and focus on winning over those who live together."
"If it weren't to win people's hearts, why would she treat her sister-in-law so well, even at the cost of offending others?"
Indeed, if it weren't for that, there would be no reason for Bai Ningning to treat her sister-in-law so well.
Only the fifth aunt weakly asked, "Shouldn't it be sister-in-law?"
Everyone fell silent, and after thinking for a while, the uncle said, "Theoretically, both are correct."
But "sister-in-law" sounds better.
"Besides," the fifth aunt added, "Her personal methods are also worth noting; she has managed to charm Qin Yue to that extent."
The scene at the dining table was still fresh in their minds. Qin Yue originally wanted to stand up and say something for her relatives, but Bai Ningning's one sentence made her sit back down.
Sleeping on the sofa, what an unbelievable threat tactic, and Qin Yue just happened to fall for it.
"How surprising, the dignified head of the family actually… sigh," the uncle sighed, "What did they do after lunch?"
The fifth aunt instinctively nodded, "Hmm, they went to do something."
Several pairs of eyes stared at her in unison.
"Ahem, what I mean is, Qin Yue quickly returned to her room after lunch, and not long after, that girl named Bai Ningning also went in," the fifth aunt quickly explained, "I happened to pass by and heard the sound of the door being locked from the inside."
They continued to stare at her.
Although, how did you instinctively say "Went to do something"? Everyone is a dignified and composed elder, and wouldn't think of it that way right away.
You have a problem with your character.
"During the day," the uncle spat, "Shameless."
"Yeah, and something clearly happened during lunch, yet they acted as if nothing happened."
There wasn't much time left for the lunch break, and everyone shifted their focus back to Bai Ningning.
"She's not as incompetent as we expected," the second uncle frowned in thought, "What should we do?"
"Don't worry," the uncle said confidently, "There are plenty of girls better than her."
Scheming? Just a little cleverness, that's all.
......
"Qin Xin, I didn't expect your sister-in-law would actually stand up for you, and so… impressive."
A few younger relatives were taking their afternoon break in the small amusement park in front of the courtyard. The cousins and Qin Xin sat on the stone steps, while cousin Qin Qing swung on the swing facing them.
"Yeah, very cool," Qin Qing said innocently, "My parents wouldn't know what to do."
Qin Yu sighed, "It is cool, but her demeanor doesn't really suit Sister Qin Yue."
Sister Qin Yue's girlfriend should be dignified and graceful, not confrontational like the family relatives.
"And I heard her background is quite ordinary."
"Sigh, it's tough."
Being in such a big family, instilled with the concept of matching social status since childhood, and knowing that they would also become one of the future "victims," the few little friends did not have high hopes for Bai Ningning to last.
At least not for now.
"Speaking of which, who do you think is most suitable for Sister Qin Yue?"
"From the Lin family, the Su family, or the Si family?"
The little friends enthusiastically discussed, from personality to appearance, from personal abilities to character traits, and finally reached a conclusion.
"Bai Jie really isn't as pretty as her, to be fair."
"Bai Jie is indeed too beautiful."
"Actually, Sister Si can be compared; she's also very beautiful."
"Yes, but the problem is the chest... it's just too different," Qin Yu glanced at Qin Qing's calm demeanor, then looked at her own slight curves and sighed, "We're not even in the same league."
Qin Qing suddenly realized: "Indeed, Sister Si seems... a bit lacking, somewhat flat."
As for the other sisters, they don't have chests as big as Ningning's, and they're not as pretty as Ningning, so there's no need to mention them.
"By the way, what about Sister Qin Xin?" Qin Qing suddenly brought her up, "Who do you think is most suitable for your sister?"
Qin Xin frowned slightly: "I don't know."
She didn't know who was most suitable for her sister, but she felt that Senior Ningning was the most suitable for herself.
The words Senior Ningning said today were like memories treasured in a music box, echoing in her ears.
Senior Ningning also said she wanted to be her light... well, although it wasn't explicitly stated, the words she said when leaving implied that.
Leaving the girl was lost in thought.
......
"How is it? Now you know how hard I usually work."
Qin Yue looked at the exhausted Bai Ningning, who was unwilling to move, and slowly gathered her posture to sit up.
It's not that I can't do it; if it were you, you'd be lying down too.
She carried Bai Ningning to the head of the bed, covered her with a blanket, and leaned down to kiss her pretty little face.
"Rest well; you did well today, I'm very satisfied."
Qin Yue was in a very good mood, not only enjoying an afternoon of "exhausting service," but also making Bai Ningning understand that she wasn't weak at all; anyone would be tired after that.
However, after the big sister left, Bai Ningning quietly opened her eyes. Confirming that Qin Yue had gone far, she reached out her little hand to grab her phone from the bedside table.
She was a bit tired, but not to the point of being completely powerless and needing to sleep; she had just pretended to be unable to move because she was too lazy to do anything else and wanted to lie down and play on her phone.
Could it be that someone really got tired from cuddling? No way, no way.
