Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ming Qianye didn’t know why she felt afraid when facing him. Perhaps it was because of the psychological trauma from her youth.

However, even though Ming Qianye had made amends, it didn’t make him feel better.

He watched as she continued to remain silent. When she lowered her head and continued to enjoy her breakfast, his expression became even more gloomy and cold. His disdainful eyes stared at her, making Ming Qianye feel even more stressed.

“I have class in the afternoon. I have to go to the hospital later,”

Ming Qianye said indifferently.

Shen Tinglan’s deep eyes were still fixed on her. The next moment, he retracted his hand and leaned back in his chair in silence.

“Did the Lou family cause trouble?”

He watched silently as she finished the few dumplings on her plate and suddenly asked.

His question surprised Ming Qianye. She couldn’t help but stop what she was doing and look up at him.

Shen Tinglan caught the flash of surprise in her eyes and felt an inexplicable displeasure in her heart. His eyes turned cold.

Ming Qianye didn’t know what kind of intermittent mood swings he was having again. She automatically ignored the coldness and said, “Lou Che is my younger brother. I can’t not care for him. You don’t have to mention it to my grandfather. If I don’t care about him, no one will…”

When Ming Qianye said this, the light in her starry eyes suddenly froze. The faint melancholy between her brows suddenly intensified. Shen Tinglan’s sharp eyes caught a flash of gloominess and sadness in her eyes.

He knew that she might be thinking about her own past.

He did not interrupt. His slender and cold fingers held the teacup in front of him lightly. The faint smell of tea and medicine filled the air, making one feel inexplicably calm.

“I… can’t leave him alone. I’m afraid he’ll learn bad things. I hope he’ll have a better life than I do.”

Ming Qianye’s low voice sounded.

As Shen Tinglan listened, realization suddenly dawned on him. There seemed to be a hint of light in the depths of his eyes as he asked calmly, “You feel that you haven’t been doing well all these years, right?”

Ming Qianye felt a tinge of sadness in her heart. She mocked herself in disdain. “Maybe it’s alright. I just feel that I don’t actually have anything. When I look back, I don’t see anyone who stood by me… Lou Che… I’m afraid that’s what he feels now. Perhaps you can’t understand that feeling.”

Can’t understand?

Shen Tinglan sneered, his eyes dark and unreadable.

…

After Ming Qianye returned to the Lou family and proved her threat, Yang Li indeed restrained herself and didn’t dare to disobey her.

The cocktail party could not happen because Lou Lixia brought some of the Lou family’s elders over!

Yang Li had an awkward status to begin with, so she was very sensitive about this matter. Helpless, Yang Li could only cancel the cocktail party at the last minute. She had simply lost all her dignity!

Lou Lixia and the others did not care about Lou Zhiwen and Yang Li’s lives. In any case, they had never treated Lou Zhiwen as a family. The worse off Lou Zhiwen and Yang Li were, the happier they were!

No matter how strongly Lou Qianwei objected and insisted on just holding the cocktail party, she still didn’t get her wish fulfilled in the end!

They had displeased a lot of people with this. They had to go and explain and apologize to them one by one, sending them reconciliation gifts!

It was already the afternoon of the third day of his business trip when Lou Zhiwen received a call from Yang Li. He rushed back after handing over his work at hand!

When Lou Zhiwen found out about the situation, he was furious!

From Yang Li’s recount, Lou Zhiwen knew that Ming Qianye came to his door because of Lou Che. He was even angrier!

That afternoon, he went straight to the hospital. He didn’t care that Lou Che hadn’t recovered and reprimanded him. The intensive care nurse couldn’t stop him. Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, he hurriedly called Ming Qianye and asked her to rush over immediately.

Ming Qianye received a call from the hospital and rushed over.

At this moment, in Lou Che’s ward.

As soon as Ming Qianye reached the door, she could already hear Lou Zhiwen scolding Lou Che!

“When have your Mom and I not kept you close to us? We cared about you, fed you, and clothed you. When have we ever wronged you? You learned wrong things yourself and sent others to the hospital with broken bones. It was your mother who brought them gifts and personally went to apologize to them. She almost knelt down to them! For you, she even personally tried to pull strings and begged them to be merciful and not expel you… In comparison, look at your brother, Lou Hui. On paper, how can you compare to him? He entered an international school with his own abilities. If you want to enter, show me better results. If you can challenge me, I can also challenge you!”

Lou Zhiwen’s cold voice was clearly heard by Ming Qianye.

“You have low grades but still ask for so much! Other than using your mother to exhaust me, what else can you do? You’re useless! Haven’t I poured enough effort into you? I’ll let you reflect on it. You’re thinking of ways to slack off and even found an outsider to bully your own family! I think there’s something wrong with your brain! If it weren’t for your mother and the others, would you be able to live freely like today? You’ve been in the police station countless times! It’s fine if you don’t know how to be grateful, but you even repay kindness with vengeance. How could my own son be like this!”

Lou Zhiwen’s scolding was very ear-piercing. How could a fragile adolescent child withstand these words?

“I don’t want you to care. She’s not my mother! My mother died a long time ago! You all are a family. I’m not!”

Lou Che’s gloomy voice was filled with stubbornness. Ming Qianye could also hear a trace of sadness in his suppressed anger.

“Alright, alright… Zhiwen, don’t criticize the child like that. He’s still young. What does he know?! Don’t talk about him like that! Xiaoche, don’t listen to your father. He just has a quick tongue and doesn’t really think that way. What can’t a father and son talk about properly? Don’t argue…”

Yang Li, who had always been the mediator, said in a calm voice.

“Hypocrite, you don’t have to care! Isn’t my death exactly what you want? You’ve long wanted to chase me out of the Lou family, just like how you treated my sister back then! You’re all thieves! I hate you!”

“Shut up! You unfilial son! How dare you criticize your father like this? I think everything you’ve learned all these years was for nothing! You must have no manners at all to be able to do such a stupid thing! You’re making things up to cause trouble for me, right? You bastard, I’ll teach you a lesson today…”

Piak!

As soon as the angry voice fell, the sound of a loud slap rang!

Ming Qianye rushed in and saw Lou Zhiwen retracting his hand and Lou Che’s slightly swollen face…

Yang Li hurriedly pulled Lou Zhiwen aside with a worried expression!

Lou Che’s face was deathly pale. He pressed his stomach with one hand, and blood seeped out from his hand attached to the needle.
