Rebirth Era: After the Beautiful Sister-in-law Refuses to Open Business

-

Qin Yaxin did not go out to attend any class reunion as Qin Yaxuan had told Song Lan, but instead went on a date with Zhou Zhiyuan in a park. At this moment, Zhou Zhiyuan had just arrived at the date location.

"Xinxin, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

With apology in his eyes, Zhou Zhiyuan parked his bicycle and walked up to Qin Yaxin.

That’s right, even though Zhou Zhiyuan is already a well-known actor, in this day and age, as an actor, no matter how famous he is, it is rare for him to have a private car to travel.

This is because most actors in this era were paid by their units, so it is obvious that their income could not be compared with those of later stars.

Furthermore, nowadays you can’t buy a car just because you have money; you must obtain approval from the relevant authorities.

However, with the adjustment of national policies, it will gradually become easier for individuals to buy cars.

Closer to home.

Zhou Zhiyuan rode his bicycle to the meeting place where he and Qin Yaxin had agreed to meet at the train station yesterday. Perhaps because he didn't want Qin Yaxin to be exposed to the wind and cold, when choosing the meeting place, Zhou Zhiyuan specifically chose a park close to Qin's home.

"I just got here a while ago. You must be cold, right? Hurry and rub your ears!"

Qin Yaxin's expression showed obvious distress. Hearing this, Zhou Zhiyuan put his gloves on the back seat of the bicycle. He rubbed his hands, poked his ears, and said with a smile: "Thinking about coming to see you, I feel warm all over. I didn't feel that cold on the road."

"What did you say?!"

Qin Yaxin's cheeks blushed, she glared at Zhou Zhiyuan and then said, "You can't rub your ears."

"I'm just listening to you!"

Zhou Zhiyuan's eyes were gentle and his tone was doting: "As long as you say it, I will listen carefully and do it seriously!"

"Can you speak properly?"

Qin Yaxin said this, but she felt satisfied and happy in her heart. After a moment, she asked, "How is it going? Is there any progress?!"

"She agreed to go with me to handle the formalities as soon as the civil affairs department opened for business."

He wanted a divorce, but his wife Xia Wei really agreed. He felt inexplicably unhappy about it.

"You seem to be in a bad mood. Are you regretting divorcing your wife?"

Seeing that Zhou Zhiyuan was in a bad mood, Qin Yaxin couldn't help but ask. At the same time, a sour feeling arose in her heart.

"No."

Zhou Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "I do feel strange. Before this morning, no matter what I said, she refused to divorce. But when I woke up this morning, I suddenly heard that she agreed..."

"Where's the child? Is she with you or her mother?"

Qin Yaxin asked again.

"Follow her."

Zhou Zhiyuan responded, but he felt even more uncomfortable. Looking at him, Qin Yaxin lowered her eyes and remained silent for a moment, then said, "Zhiyuan...why don't you take your time with your divorce..."

"Xinxin, why do you say that?"

Zhou Zhiyuan was puzzled.

"I just don't want you to regret it one day."

Qin Yaxin said: "Zhiyuan, divorce is a big deal after all. If you regret it one day, then I, then I will..." Will I be blamed?

"Xinxin, don't worry, I won't regret it. It's me who wants to be with you. If I don't divorce you, how can I marry you?!"

Zhou Zhiyuan's eyes were sincere: "I have true feelings for you. Besides, my marriage to my wife was just a matchmaker's introduction. We just live together. Only you are the one I really want to marry!"

"I see. I'll wait for your news."

Qin Yaxin blushed again.

"By the way, your sister-in-law didn't come to the hospital before. Does that mean she doesn't think highly of me?"

When Qin Yaxin suddenly heard Zhou Zhiyuan's question, she didn't know how to answer.

"Could it be...could it be that she knows that I'm married?"

Zhou Zhiyuan had a bad feeling in his heart, but then he saw Qin Yaxin nodding: "I see, my sister-in-law actually went to the hospital that day, but...she just happened to meet your wife and daughter downstairs in the inpatient department, and accidentally heard about their relationship with you, so..."

She didn't say anything after that.

"So you took a phone call and disappeared for quite some time, and when you returned to the ward you...you said I lied to you..."

Zhou Zhiyuan's expression was hard to read. Looking at him, Qin Yaxin asked, "Didn't you lie to me?"

"Yes, I lied to you, you know, I'm not denying it."

With a wry smile on his face, Zhou Zhiyuan said, "It seems that I will have to work harder to get your family's consent for me to marry you!"

"If you find it difficult, you can choose to give up."

Needless to say, what is being given up? Although Qin Yaxin did not say it explicitly, Zhou Zhiyuan knew it very well.

-

In the afternoon, Song Lan finally waited for Qin Yaxin to return home.

"Go to your eldest brother's study."

Leaving this sentence, she got up and went upstairs.

Qin Yaxin stood in a daze for a moment in the middle of the living room, then continued to move forward. However, when she stepped onto the stairs, she felt as if her feet weighed a thousand pounds, and climbing each step was extremely difficult.

Even so, she still hoped that the stairs could be longer, but her hope was just a hope after all. After all, the number of steps in the entire staircase was fixed, and it was not something that Qin Yaxin could increase just by wishing.

"Knock knock knock!"

He knocked on Qin Yanzheng's study door.

Soon, the study door was opened by Qin Yanzheng: "Second sister is back?"

"Ah."

Song Lan nodded, and then said: "I asked my second sister to come to your study. She should be here soon."

"Come in and sit down."

Qin Yanzheng moved and waited for Song Lan to walk into the study, and they both sat down on the sofa.

About two or three minutes later, Qin Yaxin's voice finally rang out from the door of the study: "Brother, sister-in-law."

"come in."

The door of the study was half open. Seeing Qin Yaxin walk in, Qin Yanzheng said again: "Close the door."

Qin Yaxin responded, she closed the door, and walked towards Qin Yanzheng and Song Lan: "Brother, sister-in-law."

"sit down."

Song Lan patted the seat beside her, and when Qin Yaxin sat down, she didn't beat around the bush and said, "I asked you to come to your eldest brother's study. I think you know why. Now your eldest brother and I are sitting here. I just want to know what your plan is for Zhou Zhiyuan?"

Qin Yanzheng had a stern look on his face. He looked directly at Qin Yaxin but did not speak.

"I, I like Zhou Zhiyuan and want to be with him!"

Qin Yaxin responded.

"In other words, even though you knew that Zhou Zhiyuan was a married man, you still liked him and wanted to be with him; or, do you want to be the third party who destroys someone else's marriage?"

Song Lan had a serious expression on his face, and his cold tone was a little harsh.

"Zhou Zhiyuan will divorce his wife, and he told me today that his wife has agreed to the divorce and they are just waiting for the Civil Affairs Bureau to open to handle the formalities."

Qin Yaxin didn't dare to look into Song Lan's eyes, let alone Qin Yanzheng. She lowered her head and told her what Zhou Zhiyuan had told her in the park today, that is, Zhou Zhiyuan's wife Xia Wei had agreed to divorce.

"Are you determined to be with that Zhou Zhiyuan?"

Qin Yanzheng asked.

"……Um."

After a long silence, Qin Yaxin nodded.
