Jie Jingchen stared at her, his face taut and exuding a gloomy chill. A complex emotion flickered in the depths of his dark eyes. He pressed his thin lips together, not replying to Qin Mei.

Jie Jingchen turned and strode away.
Qin Mei froze, stunned. 'Is he angry?' She had spoken the truth, but clearly, he didn't want to hear it.
Her left eye ached, and it was a strain to see with her right. Qin Mei closed her eyes to rest them, and before she knew it, she had drifted off to sleep.
The extent to which Mr. Xie doted on his sister-in-law, Zhang Hongying, was beyond Qin Mei's imagination. Zhang Hongying had only been back in her home village for about ten days, but upon her return, Mr. Xie was taking the entire family to the state-run restaurant to welcome her back.
