"Qiyao, although your mother did this, you don't have to go to such an extent."

In the end, Zhou Sheng couldn't help but persuade him.

What Shen Birou did was indeed heartbreaking, but she was Qi Yao's biological mother after all. Zhou Sheng would feel uneasy if she severed the relationship between mother and daughter for her own sake.

But Qi Yao shook her head firmly.

"Zhou Sheng, you don't have to persuade me anymore. I have already made up my mind. I don't have such a cruel mother. Can you forgive me?"

She looked pitifully at Zhou Sheng, with a look of anticipation in her eyes.

"Your mother did it and it has nothing to do with you. How can you forgive her?"

Zhou Sheng is not an unreasonable person. Now that the matter has been investigated clearly, if Qi Yao is really ignorant, she really should not be convicted.

But, is Qi Yao really innocent?

There was still a question in her heart.

"Then, can you tell Qi Heng for me? He will definitely not forgive me so easily like you."

Since we want to gain the trust of this family, Qi Heng must also be included. Even if Qi Heng refuses to believe her, Zhou Sheng must understand her intention to be friends with them.

"Aheng, he——"

When Qi Heng was mentioned, Zhou Sheng hesitated.

She may be able to trust Qi Heng, but it is very difficult for Qi Heng. A few days ago, he was telling her to stay away from Qi Yao, which was really difficult for her to say.

When Qi Yao saw him, he immediately started to pretend to be pitiful.

"I know that he has misunderstood me, and I want to find a chance to solve it, but I have been struggling to find an opportunity. But after all, our surname is Qi and we are a family. I hope to get along well with him and you."

It is said that family affection is the easiest to move people. At this time, she has taken this theory to the extreme. She does not believe that Zhou Sheng will not waver.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Zhou Sheng became entangled.

"Three feet of ice doesn't last in a day, so don't worry, things will take your time."

When she saw that Qi Yao looked really pitiful and didn't seem to be pretending, she suddenly softened her heart. Maybe Qi Heng had really misunderstood Qi Yao.

Qi Yao, who had been secretly observing Zhou Sheng's reaction, was secretly happy when she saw this. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before she gained this woman's trust. Now she just had to strike while the iron was hot.

"If you really believe me and think I'm a little bit pitiful, can you go out for a walk with me?"

To get close, the drama must be sufficient. She has some plans next, but they must have Zhou Sheng agree to go out with her.

"Okay, I just have time now."

Zhou Sheng agreed after a moment of hesitation.

At this time, Qi Yao seemed harmless at all, and she had just severed ties with her mother because of her. It would be too unkind to refuse to agree to this request.

But she had to go upstairs to change clothes first, so Qi Yao waited patiently downstairs.

After a while, the two of them came together to a relatively prosperous and lively neighborhood nearby. Qi Yao held Zhou Sheng's arm affectionately and talked while walking. Those who didn't know the situation felt that they were like a pair of sisters who had a good relationship.

When they passed by a clothing store, Qi Yao suggested going in and taking a look.

"Zhou Sheng, would you like to go in with me and look at the clothes? I usually come alone, but it's boring."

It was naturally impossible for Zhou Sheng to refuse this request.

After the two of them entered, Qi Yao started to pick up clothes. Then she took a fancy to one piece and asked Zhou Sheng to help her try it on.

"Just try it yourself."

Zhou Sheng was puzzled. She was not buying it for others, but she was here, yet she was still asked to try it.

Qi Yao said in Zhou Sheng's ear with some embarrassment, "I'm here today, I don't want to move, and I really like this dress, so why don't you help me try it on."

After saying that, she winked mischievously.

Zhou Sheng couldn't help but laugh. Since he didn't want to move and still insisted on dragging her out to go shopping, he had already known that it would be better to just change his life.

"Okay, then I'll try it for you."

However, she still agreed. Even though she came, she couldn't leave empty-handed.

When she came out wearing her new clothes, Qi Yao and the waiter couldn't help praising her beauty. It was as if the dress was tailor-made for her.

"Just wrap this up for me."

Qi Yao readily took out her card and paid.

"Would you like to think about it again? Just because the clothes look good on me, it doesn't mean they look good on you too."

She always felt that Qi Yao's way of choosing clothes was not right.

"It's okay. You have a similar figure to me. If you can dress well, then I will have no problem wearing it."

After Qi Yao finished speaking, she couldn't help but pull her out of the clothing store.

The two of them wandered around in other places. Qi Yao used the excuse of buying gifts for her friend's children and asked Zhou Sheng to help pick some. In the end, she even bought a tie, saying that she bought it for her friend as well.

.

Although Zhou Sheng was a little confused about what kind of friend Qi Yao should spend so much time on, but considering that this was a private matter, he didn't ask any more questions and just gave some suggestions based on his own wishes.

Qi Yao completely accepted it without thinking, which surprised her.

After everything was bought, Qi Yao revealed her true purpose.

"Zhou Sheng, actually I bought these things for you and your children, and the tie is for Qi Heng. Just accept it, as I am apologizing for the previous misunderstanding."

Only then did Zhou Sheng understand why when she was buying clothes before, the other party insisted on letting her try them on, but it turned out that there was such a meaning.

But those things are very expensive, how could she ask for such an expensive gift from Qi Yao.

"No, I can't accept it. It's too valuable."

"But I have already bought them. I don't need the ties and children's things. If you don't take them, it will be a waste."

Qi Yao looked at Zhou Sheng with a smile.

This was something she had planned for a long time. Boruto's favor requires more than words, of course, it also requires practical actions.

"Why don't you take it and return it? I really can't have it."

Zhou Sheng still refused to accept it, not only because the things were expensive, but Qi Heng would definitely be angry if he knew that she actually accepted Qi Yao's gift.

Besides, how could she accept Qi Yao's things despite her virtues?

Qi Yao was worried that Zhou Sheng would really refuse to take it, so she simply stuffed those things into Zhou Sheng's arms.

"You have to ask for it even if you don't want it. If you ask me to return it, I will lose my dignity. It's settled like this. Only after you accept my gift will I feel really forgiven by you."

After saying this, as if she was afraid of being caught by Zhou Sheng, she quickly turned around and walked in the other direction.

"Qiyao, wait -"
