Chapter 430 Qin Jingru's Sadness
At this time, Qin Jingru hurried over, her face full of anxiety and uneasiness. She walked quickly to Xu Damao and tried to gently pull up his arm with both hands, wanting to take him away from this embarrassing and chaotic scene.
"Da Mao, let's go home and stop making trouble here." There was a hint of pleading in her voice, but her hand was violently shaken away by Xu Damao.
Qin Jingru staggered and almost fell, but she quickly stood up, with a trace of grievance and confusion in her eyes. She looked up at Xu Damao, only to see that his face was ashen, and his eyes were intertwined with anger and disappointment, as if the whole world had betrayed him.
She took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and shouted to the people around her again: "What are you looking at? There's nothing good to see! If you have nothing to do, just go and do your own thing!" Although her voice was trembling, it revealed unquestionable determination.
Seeing this, the people around knew that they were bored and that continuing to watch would only make things more awkward. They began to make excuses, either bowing their heads and leaving in a hurry, or pretending to be busy and returning to their homes.
For a moment, the originally bustling courtyard returned to calm again, leaving only the figures of Xu Damao and Qin Jingru confronting each other.
Xu Damao looked at Qin Jingru, and the anger in his heart was like a piece of dry wood that was ignited, burning more and more. He shouted loudly: "Don't bother me! You don't understand how I feel now!" His voice echoed in the empty yard, carrying endless pain and struggle.
Qin Jingru couldn't hold back her tears and choked up as she said, "How long are you going to make such a fuss? Is there any point in losing face here? Let's go home and talk it over, okay?"
Her tone was full of helplessness and pleading, but Xu Damao seemed to be blinded by anger and couldn't hear her at all.
"You still have the nerve to ask me?" Xu Damao pointed at Qin Jingru, his voice sharp and harsh, "If it weren't for your sister and Yang Jianye, would I have been demoted? All this is caused by you, the Qin family!" His eyes were like a sharp sword, piercing Qin Jingru's heart.
Qin Jingru was stunned. She didn't expect Xu Damao to put all the blame on her and her family. She opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but found that she couldn't say anything.
"I..." She could only repeat this word helplessly, tears rolling down like beads from a broken string.
Xu Damao became even more annoyed when he saw this. He interrupted Qin Jingru rudely: "Don't talk to me! I'm annoyed when I see you Qin family members now! I want to go back to the Xu family and I don't want to see you now!"
After saying that, he turned around and strode away, leaving Qin Jingru standing there alone. Tears blurred her vision and her future.
......
After a long time, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the bluestone road of the courtyard, lengthening Qin Jingru's lonely figure.
She was still sitting in front of Yang Jianye's house, her tears had dried up, leaving only two faint tear marks, which were particularly eye-catching on her pale cheeks. Her eyes were empty, as if they had lost all color and warmth, only endless sadness and confusion.
The third aunt in the front yard saw this scene through the window, and she couldn't help but feel sad. She sighed, gently put down the needlework in her hands, stood up, walked out of the door slowly, and walked towards Qin Jingru.
"Jingru, why are you doing this?"
As she spoke, the third aunt walked to Qin Jingru, squatted down, and gently patted Qin Jingru's back with her wrinkled but warm hands. Qin Jingru raised her head and looked at the third aunt with tears in her eyes, as if she had found a harbor where she could confide.
"Third Aunt, I feel so bad..." Qin Jingru's voice choked with sobs, and tears welled up in her eyes again. Third Aunt helped her up with a distressed look, let her lean on her shoulder, and gently comforted her:
"Jingru, men sometimes care about their reputation and are impulsive. It will be fine after a day, he will figure it out. Don't be too sad, your health is more important."
Qin Jingru felt a little better after listening to Third Aunt's words, but she still couldn't help asking, "Third Aunt, is what you said true? Damao...he will be back tomorrow, won't you blame me?"
Her eyes were full of anticipation and anxiety, as if she was looking for a life-saving straw.
The third aunt looked at Qin Jingru like this, feeling distressed and helpless. She was actually not sure whether Xu Damao would come back so soon, and she could not guarantee that he would not blame Qin Jingru.
But seeing Qin Jingru so helpless, she could only nod her head and force a smile:
"Yes, I will. Damao is a reasonable man. When he calms down, he will understand your kindness. Let's go home first and stop standing here in the wind. Be careful not to catch a cold."
As she spoke, the third aunt supported Qin Jingru and walked towards Xu's house step by step. Although Qin Jingru was still a little worried, she felt the care and warmth from the third aunt, and her mood calmed down a little.
