After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!

Chapter 583 - 567: Is It Necessary?

Mrs. Pei didn’t say who she was meeting for dinner, but when they arrived at the restaurant and Qin Yun saw the people there, she smiled.Qingqing sat across from her, visibly uncomfortable, while Qingqing’s parents were talking to Mrs. Pei.

Their enthusiasm was slightly flattering, "Is this your daughter-in-law? She’s truly beautiful. I heard she’s a popular star; I’ve watched the dramas she’s in, and they’re fantastic."

Qingqing’s mother eagerly praised Qin Yun, but Qin Yun just pursed her lips with a polite smile.

Mrs. Pei looked proud, "Yunyun has a good temperament and never causes trouble. Since marrying into our family, she’s been helping Pei Yan and caring for us. We have nothing but praise for her, treating her as our own daughter. Not even Pei Yan can bully her."

As Mrs. Pei spoke, she glanced at Qingqing.

"Indeed, indeed. Qin Yun is so sweet, it’s you who will be enjoying happiness. Our wild girl here has always worried us to death. Recently, she’s been insistent on entering the entertainment industry as a star and won’t listen to reason. By the way, isn’t Qin Yun in the entertainment industry too? Could she take care of Qingqing?"

Qingqing’s mother seemed oblivious, looking at Qin Yun expectantly, asking if Qin Yun could take care of Qingqing.

Qingqing’s face turned sour instantly, wishing she could mute her mother.

Qin Yun almost laughed out loud.

Asking her to take care of Qingqing?

She’s afraid she doesn’t have such luck.

Qin Yun didn’t speak, nor did Mrs. Pei, and the atmosphere quickly became very awkward.

It was Qingqing’s father who noticed the atmosphere wasn’t right and hurriedly intervened, "Yunyun is pregnant, where would she find the energy to take care of Qingqing? You’re just making things difficult for her."

Qingqing’s father glanced at Qingqing’s mother, then greeted Qin Yun with Qingqing in tow, "Why are you sitting silently since you arrived? Didn’t you meet Yunyun before back home?"

Qingqing lifted her head, her eyes somewhat resentful.

She glanced at Qin Yun, who didn’t even look at her, sipping tea with a dismissive attitude that almost set her off.

She had someone capture footage of the situation in the shooting studio, planning to stir something against Qin Yun, but Pei Yan suppressed everything. Her social media post didn’t get much traction and was harshly criticized by Qin Yun’s fans.

She was on the verge of depression, while Qin Yun sat leisurely in front of her as if nothing happened, sipping tea.

Why her?

"Hello, sister-in-law, long time no see. I saw sister-in-law during my last shoot, but she was too busy, and we didn’t get a chance to speak. Also, something unexpected happened, and I wasn’t qualified to shoot in the same studio as sister-in-law."

Qingqing began speaking, her tone full of grievance and fragility, like a bullied young wife.

Her parents’ faces instantly turned somewhat sour.

Qingqing’s father glared at her, "Qingqing, speak properly."

Qingqing felt wronged, "Dad, why am I not speaking properly? I’m a newcomer; I understand the rules for newcomers. It’s just I was too delighted at the time, treated sister-in-law as family, and caused a misunderstanding, leading sister-in-law’s assistant to accuse me of stealing her limelight. I won’t dare again."

Qingqing’s father inadvertently glanced at Qin Yun.

Their family indeed wasn’t as powerful as the Pei Family, and the Pei Family held significant shares in their company; they couldn’t afford to offend them.

So, this situation was extremely, extremely awkward.

Mrs. Pei laughed, "You’ve raised a wonderful daughter, not only articulate, but also quite talented in acting. Yunyun was right; the entertainment industry is a good path for her."

"I’ve looked into the studio incident, would you like to see what happened?"

Mrs. Pei pulled out her phone and started playing the surveillance from the studio on that day.

Qin Yun raised her eyebrows; how did Mrs. Pei get that surveillance footage? Did she deliberately investigate it for her?

Her heart instantly softened completely.

Mrs. Pei said she treats her like a daughter, and it’s truly not an exaggeration.

Qin Yun smiled, leisurely leaning back in her chair, watching the scene unfold with indifference.

Everyone present was perceptive; a glance at the video, and the truth was clear.

Qingqing’s father’s face immediately turned very unsightly.

Qingqing also took a peek, and she felt utterly awful.

Aunt Pei couldn’t possibly have this footage?

Was it something Qin Yun deliberately provided her?

Qingqing glanced at Qin Yun with a sullen expression.

"Qingqing said our Yunyun looked down on her and embarrassed her. I almost believed it. Thankfully, Yunyun keeps a modest profile, so I investigated. Otherwise, would our Yunyun be unjustly accused to death?"

"Qingqing was raised under our watch; I can’t believe she did such a thing. But seeing is believing, you must spend more energy educating your child, so she doesn’t tread a crooked path."

"I said, Yunyun is my daughter—anyone who dares bully her will face my wrath."

Mrs. Pei’s tone wasn’t harsh, but her words were enough to frighten.

Not only Qingqing’s parents, but even Qingqing’s face turned pale.

She was too aware of how crucial Pei Family’s investments were to their family’s well-being.

That was why, even with Pei Yuan being so foolish, she spent time building a relationship with Pei Yuan.

Qingqing anxiously explained, "Aunt Pei, I didn’t mean it like that, really, it’s all because of the assistant. She said I was trying to steal Sister Yunyun’s limelight; otherwise, I wouldn’t have..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun, who had been watching, suddenly looked over, her gaze sharply interrupting her, "What does this have to do with my assistant? If it weren’t for you speaking sarcastically about me bullying you as soon as I arrived, my assistant wouldn’t have gotten angry. If you hadn’t twisted the narrative of being unworthy to shoot in the same studio as me, and incited the photographer to slap my assistant, would these things have happened?"

"Even today, you still don’t realize what you did wrong; you want to shift the blame onto others. Qingqing, I always thought you were clever and resourceful, but I didn’t expect such intelligence to be used for these matters—what a waste."

Qin Yun shook her head at Qingqing, whose eyes twitched in anger, but she dared not refute.

Because Qin Yun was telling the truth.

Qingqing immediately apologized, "Sister Yunyun, I’m sorry. I’m young and foolish; please forgive me this time. I promise I won’t do it again."

Her parents also chimed in, "Yes, she’s still young; please forgive her. We will educate her properly and ensure she doesn’t trouble you again."

"We are all family; there’s no need, truly no need."

Mrs. Pei laughed angrily, "No need?"

"Do you know how our Yunyun is being talked about online now? Don’t you know a pregnant woman’s good mood is important? If this matter affects our Yunyun’s mental and physical health, would you still say ’no need’?"

"Qingqing made a mistake, and with a simple apology, we’re supposed to bear the consequences of her error?"
