He was an atheist and didn't believe in anything that science couldn't answer . He would never believe in the presence of a god in this world .
In his words, he only trusted himself .
Huo Mian was more interested in religion so she didn't say anything . She only silently looked at the Guanyin statue .
"Don't think too much about it, your dad and I obviously want you to have kids as soon as possible, so we got one for you guys . It's fine if you guys don't believe in it, you don't have to follow the traditions and give offerings . Just ask someone to put down some fruits and light some incense every so often, I trust that the child-bringing Guanyin will bless our family . "
Qin Chu wanted to ask his mother to take it away . . .
However, before the words came out of his mouth, he heard Huo Mian say, "Thank you . "
Qin Chu looked at Huo Mian with a hint of surprise; he didn't expect her to actually accept the statue and thank his mother .
Mrs . Qin seemed to be in a good mood too as she nodded back at her .
Then, Qin Chu went upstairs to shower, leaving Huo Mian alone with his mother in the living room .
They were enemies before and rarely sat together and talked alone .
The atmosphere was quite awkward at first . . .
"Have you been busy at the hospital?" Madam Qin asked .
"Mhm, it's the end of the year, so we have quite a bit of stuff to do . "
"You're not a nurse anymore, you don't have to work night shifts . Also, I heard that neurology doctors aren't as busy as gynecologists, right?"
"Yeah . " Huo Mian nodded once again .
"Work is important, but family is important too… I hope that you can spend more time on Chu and the family . "
"I will . "
"You two are meant to be together, and I wish the best for you . Even though I was mean to you before, now that so much has happened, I can finally see through everything . I hope that you won't hold grudges for what happened in the past . " Mrs . Qin's words were ever so calm . . .
Huo Mian quietly listened to her, she knew that Mrs . Qin was referring to Uncle Jing's death as the grudge between them .
If it were the old Huo Mian, she might've had a wall up in her heart . After all, there was a life involved . Uncle Jing, the closest person she had as a father figure, died .
However, some things that happened later changed her view, especially when she realized that Uncle Jing was closely tied to her real family background .
Huo Mian had a bold hypothesis that Uncle Jing's death wasn't the doing of the Qin Family, but rather someone who utilized their hands to do the deed .
She didn't know if they were the ones who killed Uncle Jing, because most people related to her birth were either dead or missing .
Even the birth records went up in flames, could everything really be a coincidence?
Huo Mian wanted to ask Mrs . Qin what happened all those years ago but now wasn't the time .
The two's relationship was improving now, and asking about the incident wouldn't be beneficial to the situation .
Huo Mian thought things through more than people her age did . Though she was only twenty-four, her way of handling situations and speaking could beat that of a forty-year-old .
She seemed to be born with a calm and confident aura that didn't exist amongst girls her age .
At first, it was her aura that attracted Qin Chu and made him infatuated with her .
"Rest assured, I won't hold grudges . After all, I married Qin Chu . But, I hope that you won't misunderstand me because of others' words, especially those who don't have good intentions," Huo Mian calmly replied .
Huo Mian was upfront and pointed to Song Yishi . . .
