Seeing Mr. Lu and Madam Lu leave, Qin Youyou froze for two seconds. What did this mean? Were they going to ignore Lu Shiyan’s wishes?

“Shiyan, you believe me, right? We’ve been together for five years. You know that I wouldn’t do such a thing.” Qin Youyou hurriedly played the pity card. She had been keeping up the act for the past five years, but this time, Lu Shiyan was unmoved.

“I’ll investigate this matter thoroughly, but if such a thing happens again in the future… I definitely won’t tolerate it.” Lu Shiyan was silent for a moment. After all, he had promised to marry her that night five years ago, so he wouldn’t go back on his word. However, for some reason, he hadn’t felt the same feeling from Qin Youyou in the past five years.

These words made Qin Youyou’s heart sink. She stood rooted to the ground as she watched Lu Shiyan get into the car and leave the villa.

After the Lu family left, their surroundings were silent. A few people hired by Qin Youyou finally realized that something was wrong. They failed to control the public opinion online!

“Miss Qin…” Someone wanted to apologize.

“Pa! Trash! A bunch of trash!” Qin Youyou slapped them and her demeanor was a stark contrast from before. The few of them didn’t dare to make a sound after being slapped and could only lower their heads. Only when Qin Youyou calmed down did the few of them leave.

Qin Miaomiao saw this scene. Qin Youyou’s leg was injured that day, so she was still limping and her back view looked very comical. It seemed that there would probably be more drama when she went to the Qin family tomorrow. She closed the curtains since she didn’t want to think about these complicated matters anymore. Tomorrow was the anniversary of her mother and grandfather’s death. At that time, Qin Hai abandoned her mother and grandfather, who were still in the hospital, and quickly accumulated wealth and power in the Qin Corporation. He took advantage of the chaos to get rid of her grandfather’s trusted aides.

After her mother and grandfather passed away, Qin Miaomiao found out that she had a half-sister. Qin Youyou was actually two years older than her. Before Qin Hai married her mother, he already had a child with his first love. After her grandfather and mother passed away, Qin Haibrought back his first love’s family. Hence, all these years, she had always suspected whether her mother’s death was an accident or caused by someone.

“Mommy, have some fruit. It’s very sweet.” At this moment, Qin Xiaoshu’s soft voice pulled her guard back to reality. Qin Miaomiao looked up and saw Qin Xiaoshu lying on her lap while holding a plate of exquisite fruits and staring at her.

Qin Xiaoshu could tell that Qin Miaomiao was in a bad mood, so he cut her favorite fruit. Qin Miaomiao was touched. “Alright, I will bring you to see Grandma and Grandpa tomorrow, okay?”

Qin Xiaoshu blinked and nodded seriously. “Okay, Mommy, be happy. Otherwise, Grandma and Grandpa will be unhappy too.” Qin Xiaoshu comforted Qin Miaomiao.

Upon hearing this, Qin Miaomiao pursed her lips and stopped talking. She caressed Qin Xiaoshu’s head from time to time. Yes, she shouldn’t be sad over those unworthy people of the Qin family. It had been five years. She was finally back. Tomorrow would be the first time she paid respects to her mother in the past five years.

“Alright, I will tell you a bedtime story. Go to bed quickly.” Qin Miaomiao dismissed her thoughts and carried Qin Xiaoshu back to his room.

“Another fairy tale…” Qin Xiaoshu muttered. However, he could only close his eyes obediently.

At this moment, in the Qin family’s villa, Qin Youyou limped into the back door of the villa. There were countless reporters and paparazzi blocking the main entrance of the villa. The flashing lights almost illuminated the entire entrance of the villa, so how could she dare to enter?

“Look at what you’ve done!” Qin Youyou had just entered when Qin Hai’s furious voice came from behind.

Qin Youyou gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few tears in anger. “Dad, my sister framed me. I wouldn’t do such a thing. You have to believe me.” She had already lost Lu Shiyan’s trust. She couldn’t lose Qin Hai’s trust as well.

“Why are you losing your temper at Youyou? What can a child like her know anything? Qin Miaomiao must have schemed against my precious daughter!” Wu Mei hurriedly walked over and hugged Qin Youyou as she examined her with heartache.

Qin Hai sighed and softened his tone. “Youyou, I don’t object to you doing such a thing. I know you’re doing it for the family’s benefit, but if you’re too anxious, someone will catch you red-handed.”
