Ming Qu stayed in the archive room until it had become late. Just as she was about to leave, she received a call from an unfamiliar number.

“Despite being the second daughter of the Ming family, you were the heir that the old master had favored the most. Are you really willing to be held back by others for your entire life? Ming Qu, I had thought you were a king. I had not expected you to be like broken pieces of scrap metal, unable to even support yourself.”

“You…”

“Tsk tsk!”

The voice on the other end was that of a middle-aged man. It had been worn down through the years.

Before Ming Qu could speak, he had already hung up.

However, the other party seemed to have underestimated her.

After finding the medical records of the old master’s last visit to the hospital, she went straight home from work.

Just as she had entered the living room, she was called over by Mother Ming.

Besides Father Ming and Ming Lai, there was also another couple in the house. They were about the same age as Ming Zhicheng.

As Ming Qu entered, she found that all of their gazes were fixed on her.

“Why did you come back so late? What have you been doing all day?”

Mother Ming’s attitude was sour. There was a stark contrast from when she had first appeared at Ming Zhicheng’s birthday party.

Ming Qu didn’t take the change in attitude to heart.

They weren’t blood-related relatives to begin with, so she didn’t need to take them too seriously.

“Don’t you already know?”

Ming Qu shot a glance at Ming Lai as she sat down on the sofa opposite her.

The air in the living room hung heavy. Everyone’s gaze was still transfixed on her.

After a long pause, Father Ming, who had been silent, spoke faintly. “Being a doctor is a good thing, but our Ming family has been in the business field for generations. You are also my daughter…”

“So? Have I ruined your reputation?”

Ming Qu interrupted, without letting him finish.

Ming Zhicheng glared at her with a cold and stern gaze.

No matter what, he was the head of the family. Now this little girl had interrupted him, asking him such a question.

“Qu’er, your father didn’t mean anything by it. He had just originally planned to train you in management, but instead, you’ve gone to the hospital to be a doctor and wait on people.”

Mother Ming interrupted at the right time, as if she was suddenly a loving mother.

Ming Qu looked at her with eyes full of contempt.

“I’m not interested in doing business. Anyway, I’m not the only one in the Ming family.”

Her words were implicative.

“Your sister is about to enter the Du family. You have to stay with the Ming family.”

The woman from the other couple suddenly spoke up.

Ming Qu turned to look at her. Immediately, her gaze shifted to Ming Lai.

This woman had not spoken at the right time.

As expected, Ming Lai did not stay silent.

“Aunt, I am only arranged to marry. As for whether I will go through with it, that is another matter. Why would you say that so early?”

“It’s only a matter of time. I’ve heard that you and Linxi are already living together.”

“Chen Yuyan, what nonsense are you spouting?!”

As soon as the woman had finished speaking, Ming Lai flew into a rage.

Ming Qu, who had been in the midst of the commotion, was stunned by this sudden development.

Little did they know, Ming Lai’s bizarre reaction was due to Ming Qu’s presence.

Recently, Ming Lai had been having second thoughts after the appearance of Gu Yuzhen. What did she mean by living together with Du Linxi? Wouldn’t that ruin her reputation?

Astounded by her reaction, the other woman shut her mouth and looked on helplessly.

The Ming family had been close to the Du family for the past few years. This pair had also been favored among the upper-class society of Tong City. Anywhere they went, people would take notice. Just now, however, a strange incident had occurred.

It turns out that Ming Lai was sensitive regarding her and Du Linxi.

“Alright, your aunt is only telling the truth. Why are you so agitated?”

Ming Lai’s mother couldn’t stand it and tried to calm her down.

However, Ming Lai did not concede. Instead, she turned her angry gaze towards Ming Qu.

“Weren’t you talking about her? Why have I been dragged in?”

Even as she was in a rage, she managed to roll her eyes at the woman as she spoke.

The situation had grown tense. Ming Qu yawned, lying that she was tired. She got up and went upstairs.

The others looked uneasy but did not say anything more.

Just as she had turned away from the stairs into the corridor, she suddenly remembered something. She went back to the stairs.
