Chapter 371 Sisters
"Brother! What kind of nonsense are you spouting!" Qin Shengsheng stomped her feet in anger.
"If it weren't for you back then..." She swallowed the words back, but she couldn't hide the anger in her eyes. She had finally gotten her sister-in-law back, and if she was driven away by her brother's heartless words, she would never forgive him!
Yan Lan felt a slight pang in her heart, a subtle bitterness rising within her.
She had thought that the pain of the past few years should have been worn away by time, but Qin Shi's words "it has nothing to do with her" were like a block of ice, instantly cooling the last bit of warmth in her heart.
She took a deep breath, suppressing her surging emotions, and said in a calm tone that was almost indifferent: "There's no need for dinner. I won't go back on what I promised the Qin family back then."
After saying that, she secretly gave Han Yan a wink, and the two turned and left, their steps so fast it was as if they were fleeing.
"Brother! You can't say anything nice! I'm calling Mom right now!"
Qin Shengsheng watched Yan Lan's departing figure, so angry that she jumped up and down, took out her phone and dialed a number.
Qin Shi didn't reply, but stood silently in place with a slight frown.
Just then, a cold, sharp gaze fell upon him, filled with undisguised hostility. He followed the gaze and met the governor's eyes.
Qin Shi was slightly taken aback.
He never expected that the governor would appear at St. Mary's Kindergarten.
Because of Yan Lan, he had met the governor a few times back then and knew his identity.
He nodded subconsciously, about to step forward to pay his respects, but the governor let out a cold snort, as if he were nothing more than insignificant air, and walked straight past him without even giving him a second glance.
This obvious hostility left Qin Shi somewhat amused and exasperated.
He thought back carefully and realized that he had not only not offended the governor, but had also secretly helped him a lot a few years ago. How could he have ended up being treated like this?
In fact, the governor had been waiting nearby for a while, hoping to meet Yan Lan once she finished her work.
But his schedule was tight and he didn't have much time to spare. Just as he arrived at the kindergarten gate, he saw Yan Lan's hurried departure. Then, when he turned around, he bumped into Qin Shi.
It's obvious that Yan Yatou has been bullied by this kid again, so why would he give Qin Shi a friendly look?
The governor left Xiao Yanchao his personal contact information so that it would be convenient to keep in touch in the future.
After Qin Shengsheng finished complaining, she watched the governor's departing figure and finally couldn't suppress her curiosity any longer. She tugged at Qin Shi's arm and asked, "Brother, do you know that guy? He seems to be a family member of Xiaoxi's classmate."
Qin Shi raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of meaning, "As far as I know, the governor has no children."
"The governor?!" Qin Shengsheng's eyes widened instantly, her mouth agape, her face filled with astonishment. "He's the governor of our Xingzhou?"
Qin Shi nodded.
He thought to himself that the child must just be a relative of the governor.
However, for the governor to personally deliver the child to the kindergarten, the person's status and position must be extraordinary.
He suddenly looked at Qin Shengsheng and suggested, "If you have the chance next time, bring that child you mentioned to the villa for a visit."
In recent years, Qin Shi has been secretly keeping a close eye on the movements of "Prison Network," knowing full well that this organization is ruthless and will take action against the governor sooner or later.
However, he did not have a close relationship with the governor, and even if he took the initiative to remind him, the governor might not believe him.
If the message could be relayed through the governor, this "relative," it would be a prudent approach.
Qin Shengsheng pursed her lips and rolled her eyes: "I can't guarantee that. After all, your fiancée, Ms. Bai Xiaoyu, just offended her badly, so she might not be willing to give her face."
"Bai Xiaoyu?"
Qin Shi raised an eyebrow, a hint of inquiry in his eyes. He hadn't expected that Bai Xiaoyu would be involved in this matter...
On the other side, Bai Xiaoyu clenched her fists and stormed back to the villa in a rage.
As soon as I entered, my phone rang. The caller ID showed it was the principal of St. Mary's Kindergarten.
She took a deep breath, suppressing her anger as she answered the phone, her tone deliberately gentle: "Director, what's the matter?"
“Ms. Bai,” the principal’s voice was cold and formulaic, without a trace of her usual politeness, “The kindergarten’s parent association members just voted and unanimously agreed that you are no longer suitable to serve as the president of the parent association. Effective today, your position as president is officially terminated.”
"What?!" Bai Xiaoyu was as if she had been doused with cold water, and instantly bristled, yelling into the phone, "Why? How many sponsorships have I secured for the kindergarten, how many activities have I organized, and you just say you'll waive them?"
“We have already consulted with President Qin about this matter beforehand,” the principal’s voice was calm and clear, each word hitting Bai Xiaoyu’s ears. “President Qin also agreed.”
The call was abruptly ended as soon as he finished speaking.
"Qin Shi! Even you're helping outsiders!" Bai Xiaoyu seemed to have all her strength drained away, but was instantly ignited by even fiercer anger. She slammed her phone onto the sofa, the body making a dull thud.
She turned and rushed into the living room, her gaze sweeping over the exquisite ceramic tea set on the coffee table.
With a sharp "crash," the tea set was swept to the ground, shards flying everywhere, and scalding tea seeped into the cracks in the floorboards. "That damned brat, and that old geezer, the governor! And Qin Shengsheng! I won't let a single one of them get away with this!"
She stepped on the broken pieces, her nails digging deep into her palms, her eyes filled with resentment.
If it weren't for the governor protecting that brat, and if Qin Shengsheng hadn't not uttered a single word in defense, how could she have embarrassed herself in public and lost her position as the head of the parent-teacher association!
"Oh, what's wrong? Who made you so angry?" A soft female voice came from the stairs.
Bai Xiaoyu suddenly looked up and saw a woman in a red dress slowly walking down, her eyes holding a hint of amusement as she watched a show.
"Sister!" Upon seeing the person who arrived, Bai Xiaoyu's pent-up grievances instantly burst forth, her voice softened, and her eyes reddened as she rushed over, "You're finally back! I was bullied terribly at kindergarten today!"
The woman sat down on the sofa, and the maid immediately handed her a freshly brewed cup of coffee.
She stirred slowly with a small spoon, glanced at the mess on the floor, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Oh? Tell me, who has the audacity to mess with our Xiaoyu?"
Bai Xiaoyu immediately embellished her account of what happened that day—from her "kindly" pointing out that Xiao Yanchao "had a problem," to being publicly refuted by Xiao Yanchao, to the sudden appearance of the governor to support the child, and finally to Qin Shi's approval for the headmaster to dismiss her.
She became more and more agitated as she spoke: "If it weren't for that governor protecting that brat, I would have given him a good beating today! And Qin Shi, I am Qin Shengsheng, how could she help outsiders to trample on me!"
"The governor?" The woman's hand holding the coffee cup suddenly stopped, the stirring motion ceased, and the languid look in her eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a sharp killing intent. She pressed, "Are you talking about the governor of Singapore?"
Bai Xiaoyu was taken aback by her sudden serious tone and blinked in confusion: "Yes, sis, it's him! Why are you suddenly so interested in the governor?"
In her memory, her sister had been living a secluded life since they reunited, never paying attention to the outside world. Why was she suddenly asking about the governor today?
