At the entrance of the Qin family courtyard, a group of people stood chatting noisily. When Qin Yue got out of the car, several elders immediately came over, holding the hands of the younger generation, and greeted her warmly.
"Qin Yue, long time no see, how have you been lately?"
"Not bad, Uncle Su."
"And our Jia Le, this useless child, must have caused you trouble at the company. Come on, Le Le, greet your sister Qin Yue."
"Sister Qin Yue, good morning~"
"...Mm."
The elders of the three families each brought their children over to get acquainted with Qin Yue. The opening pleasantries could all be fast-forwarded—the main point was just to greet your Sister Qin Yue. When Su Le and Lin Yi called Qin Yue sister, they tried to sound as sweet as possible, while Si Youxue was relatively indifferent.
The Si family parents were also feeling distressed; their daughter just didn't click with Qin Yue, what could they do?
It couldn't be that she really liked that girl with the surname Bai, right?
After the group finished exchanging pleasantries at the entrance, they called each other and went inside.
"Qin Yue, we'll go find your parents first, see you later."
"Okay, see you."
The lively entrance soon became quiet, and Qin Xin and Bai Ningning also got out of the car and came to Qin Yue's side.
"Sister," Qin Xin sighed, "The visitors are not friendly."
Bai Ningning couldn't help but whisper, "We are the visitors."
Qin Yue shot her a glance: "You usually don't have a good word to say, but now you're quoting movie lines, let's go."
Since they had been here not long ago, the few of them were quite familiar with the place. Upon entering the main hall, Qin Dad and Qin Mom were busy catching up with old friends and didn't have time to entertain them.
"You all just do as you please," Qin Yue said, "After all, we're quite familiar with this place."
Saying that, she also stepped forward to join the group catching up. Just as Qin Xin sat down for a short while, she was pulled aside by a few younger members of the Qin family to chat.
Bai Ningning found a corner to sit down alone, just wanting to enjoy a moment of peace. But before she could settle in, someone tapped her shoulder.
"Secretary Bai... no, Bai Ningning," Si Youxue's voice came from behind, "Do you have a moment? If so, could you come over?"
Since she said it like that, Bai Ningning naturally had to make time.
The two left the room and went to a quieter place outside.
"Si Youxue, it's rare for you to take the initiative to find me for something," Bai Ningning put on a pretty indifferent face, "Is there a problem with the work project?"
You handle your business, and I'll be cold and indifferent; the atmosphere fits, right?
"It's not about work... although it's somewhat related to work," Si Youxue lowered her voice, "Bai Ningning, this time, you've been caught by Su Le and the others."
Bai Ningning was slightly taken aback: "Caught doing what?"
Could it be that they found out about her inserting Si Youxue as a spy in the department project?
No, that's not right; she's standing right in front of me.
"Comic convention, video, you and the president of your school club," Si Youxue mentioned a few keywords.
The beautiful girl in the video, Si Youxue finally recognized after watching for a while; wasn't she the one who opened the door for her when she went to Xicheng University to find Bai Ningning?
At that time, she didn't think much of it, but now combined with the video...
Wow, it turns out that the two of them started doing that back then...
"Well, I didn't hide anything, so how could I be caught?" Bai Ningning shrugged nonchalantly. "Besides, isn't that pretty normal?"
Si Youxue twitched her lips: "Normal? Bai Ningning, are you sure about that?"
Bai Ningning was startled by her serious tone, tilting her head. "Is that not normal?"
"What do you think?" Si Youxue asked in return. "If the two of us acted like you did in the video right now, how big of a reaction do you think we'd get from others?"
Bai Ningning thought carefully and shook her head: "You can't, you don't have... cough, I mean, you still have a lot of room for development."
Si Youxue took a breath and sighed in exasperation: "I was just making a metaphor. Just understand that to others, this video looks like flirtation."
"You mean, Su Le and Lin Yi would tell others and accuse me of flirting?" Bai Ningning's expression turned serious, thinking that Qin Xin was right; trouble was indeed coming.
Si Youxue smirked: "Not that they would tell, but they already have."
It made Si Youxue quite curious how Miss Bai Ningning, who was said to give headaches to the elders of the Qin family, would respond in such a situation.
Well, it was just out of curiosity, definitely not a way to get back at her for teasing her earlier.
......
Meanwhile, in the hall, Qin Dad and Qin Mom finally managed to say goodbye to their old friends and pulled their eldest daughter aside for a quiet interrogation.
"Do you know about the video online?" Qin Dad lowered his voice, afraid of being overheard by a fourth person, "The one from that comic convention."
Qin Mom waved her hand: "Alright, no need to be so cautious. Yueyue definitely knows, and she has known for a long time."
Otherwise, why would she cheat, even if it meant using a cheat code to deal with the little succubus?
Qin Yue frowned: "You guys know about this?"
"Of course we do. The two kids from the Su and Lin families sent it to us as soon as the video came out," Qin Mom took out her phone and found the WeChat chat history. "Look."
[Su Le]: Auntie, I saw something online that seems to be related to Bai Ningning. Can you check if it's her? The name and school match, but how could Bai Ningning do something like this? Should we clarify? (Video link www.bilibili.com/video/BV********)
[Lin Yi]: Auntie, Auntie, I saw something online today that claims to be Bai Ningning. I think she definitely wouldn't do something like this. Can you check if there's some misunderstanding? (Same link)
As for the video, it was obviously Bai Ningning and Lingyin cuddling with pillows.
"Have you talked to Ningning about this?" Qin Dad asked cautiously, "How did you resolve it?"
In their family, counting Bai Ningning, there were five people, and he was the only male. So whenever emotional issues arose in life, Qin Dad always felt out of place.
"She thinks it's pretty normal, nothing much to say," Qin Yue casually replied, "What else could be done? Just gave her a good talking to."
Just use a cheat code to deal with it, what else could be done?
"Is that all it takes?" Qin Dad scratched his head, "But..."
"Alright, alright, that little succubus... wasn't it like this before? Otherwise, how would they have broken up once?" Qin Mom was quite indifferent, "Their situation is a bit special, so don't dwell on it."
Qin Dad's expression was complicated: "That's true."
Qin Yue thought that when Qin Mom said "they," she was referring to Bai Ningning and herself, and that the special situation referred to the two girls dating. But in reality, Qin Dad and Qin Mom knew that "they" also included Qin Xin.
In any case, Qin Dad and Qin Mom were aware of the situation, as both of their daughters liked her. Just make do with it, what else could be done?
"We can understand, but the key is that others have heard about it," Qin Dad said worriedly, "Do you think Ningning can smooth things over during dinner later?"
