地震时怎样保护自己

Qin Zhiyou felt a mix of nervousness and anger as the secret he’d been hiding for so long was suddenly exposed in such an awkward situation.

Not just Qin Zhiyou, but the rest of the Qin family cast their gaze upon him, evidently more interested in the drama that was unfolding.

Amidst all the stares, Lu Weixi remained calm: “He’s been abroad for five years, right? And he hasn’t returned since. Now that he’s back, he’s not even rushing home. What job could possibly be more important than his family?”

At her words, the entire family fell silent.

Everyone knew how intense the relationship between Lu Weixi and Qin Zhigu used to be – she hated him so much for betraying her that she immediately ran to Qin Zhiyou. Although her approach was drastic, there is no hate without love. And hasn’t her relationship with Qin Zhiyou been rather poor these past few years, given how often he’s been changing his lady friends?

So why is she talking like this now? It’s not resentment forcing her to be nasty, it’s more like Qin Zhigu’s past with her was a blank slate and she’s just offering brotherly advice from a position of sisterly care.

Qin Zhiyou was even more shocked. He knew it was inevitable that Lu Weixi would find out about Qin Zhigu’s return, but he didn’t expect her to react in this way. Even though he was aware she was partly putting on a show, he still felt a moment of joy in his heart.

Just as Kong Jie was about to say something, Old Man Qin coughed to show his discontent. A servant quickly chimed in: “The old master wants to rest now. We’ll reconvene at dinnertime.”

As everyone was leaving, with high hopes and tearful goodbyes on their faces, Qin Zhiyou dismissed them all, saying casually, “I’m going to rest, too. I was up all night working. I sure envy you guys who don’t have to work yet still get paid.”

As soon as he left, Lu Weixi naturally stood up as well.

Qin Zhimei followed up with a challenge: “If you don’t want to work, make room for others. My mom, my second uncle, even my second brother, are all capable of taking your place.”

Qin Zhiyou paused and turned back to look at Qin Zhimei. She was taken aback by his gaze but mustered the courage to step forward, “What? Did I say something wrong? You stole my second brother’s job and his woman; you have absolutely no shame.”

Qin Zhiyou gave a slight chuckle and a look of supremacy could be seen in his eyes. “No, not whatsoever. It’s just that Yu Sixing wanted me to tell you that he’d rather be with a hundred and eighty other women than to be with you. You’re just a nuisance. He doesn’t like you. And as for Zhizha…”

Seeing Qin Zhizha trying to comfort his sister, Qin Zhiyou quickly cut in with a dismissive voice,”— as far as I know, your ex-girlfriend who used to block your door, seems to have caught something nasty. You should get yourself checked out. If you catch something, my aunt will have one less son to depend on in her old age.”

“What did you say?” Qin Zhizha was angry, but he was more surprised. The woman Qin Zhiyou was referring to was one he had casually picked up somewhere. He began to worry she might indeed be sick.

Having successfully provoked everyone, Qin Zhiyou casually strolled up to his second-floor room with his hands in his pockets. Shortly after, Lu Weixi also entered. As soon as they stepped inside, she realised Qin Zhiyou was standing by the door. He pushed it closed, trapping her between the door and himself. He leaned in, “You knew he came back?”

Although he didn’t specify who “he” was, Lu Weixi knew he was referring to Qin Zhigu..
