"If she dares to meet Qin Yanmo again, I'll kill her mother! I have endured that bitch for so many years, but now her only use is to restrain Shi Xingcan and force her to marry Qu Family. And now? Now that Shi Xingcan was not in Qu Family and was living a peaceful life, he started to have ideas on Qin Yanmo! How dare she snatch someone away from her sister! She's the same as her mother! "Bitch!"

She shouted a long string of words, then gasped with fatigue

"What did I do!?" Let me tell you, Qu Family is a partner, we definitely cannot let them go. The Qin family, is the great marriage opportunity passed down to us by our ancestors. No one can lose it! "

"Don't mess around!" Shi Jun shouted from behind, but Su Qing ignored him.

The black Rolls-Royce was driving on the highway, and Shi Xingcan was sitting in the front passenger seat, staring blankly at the scenery that was quickly flashing past.

"What are you thinking about?" Qin Yanmo asked as he drove.

"Only drive with you." Qin Yanmo's expression did not change, "I do not want the driver to disturb our two people's world."

Shi Xingcan blushed and stopped talking to him. She turned her head and continued to look out the window. When he was in the hotel before, he had said that as long as she kissed him, she would no longer pester him. But now, that sentence did not even count!

Qin Yanmo drove the car to the house that Shi Xingcan rented, "I'll send you up." Qin Yanmo very naturally opened the trunk of the car and helped Shi Xingcan to carry the luggage.

"No need, I'll go up myself." Shi Xingcan anxiously snatched the box over, "It's not heavy, and there's an elevator."

In order to save money, Shi Xingcan rented an old house that was over 30 years old. She didn't know why, but she didn't want Qin Yanmo to see her staying in this kind of house. She didn't want him to see her distress.

"Really?" Qin Yanmo looked at her suspiciously, and did not ask further, but just handed her the luggage, and said, "Then I'm going?"

"Mm, it's been hard on you." Shi Xingcan smiled at him as she walked into the corridor.

She took the old creaking elevator to the top floor, went to the innermost room, and opened the door with her key. After a long walk, there were many more small ads stuck to the door, and the mailbox was also full.

"Shi Xingcan?" The next door suddenly opened, and a short fat auntie peeked her head out. Seeing Shi Xingcan looking at her with a puzzled expression, she turned her fat body and squeezed out from inside.

"Hello, Aunt Wang." Shi Xingcan greeted politely.

"You're finally back. Do you know that you should pay the rent?" Aunt Wang's voice was loud.

Only then did Shi Xingcan remember that she had to renew the rent this month, but Shi Mengxi suddenly let her go back to attend the engagement banquet, and after that she was held back in F City, so she had forgotten about the rent.

"My apologies Aunt Wang, I have something to take care of at home. After two days, I will gather all the money and bring the rent over to you." Shi Xingcan forced a smile.

"Come on, come on, don't talk to me about these useless things." Aunt Wang waved his hand, "Look at your bright and beautiful clothes, how do you look like you don't have any money? I don't believe that you don't have a thousand dollars on you right now! He was obviously bullying my old lady. "I'm telling you, if you don't pay your rent today, you can't go through this door." He snatched the key from her hand.

Shi Xingcan's tears almost fell. Needless to say, she really didn't have a thousand dollars on her. She had just left the last of her money to her mother, and now she really couldn't afford to pay the rent.

"Aunt Wang, I really don't have any money right now. Tomorrow, I'll go to work and I'll have money. When I come back, I'll definitely pay the rent."

But she herself could not guarantee that she would be able to withdraw this month's salary from the finance department tomorrow. Because of her request for leave, the editor was already very unhappy.

"Then come back tomorrow after you pay." Aunt Wang refused to give up, "Before you left, you should have paid the rent. Now, you have left for nearly a month, so you already owe me a month's rent. And now that prices are going up so fast, it's time for the rent to go up. "

"I …" Shi Xingcan wanted to cry, but there were no tears. It was already difficult enough for her to pay the rent, and she even wanted to raise the price? It wasn't easy to find a cheap house near the company, but thinking of the difficulty of finding a house previously, Shi Xingcan had to pay extra.

"Alright, I'll pay tomorrow. The rent will be renewed for another half a year, along with last month's rent." She gritted her teeth, "Aunt Wang, I'll have to trouble you to let me stay for the night. Otherwise, I don't have any place to stay today."

"Make up the rent for last month." Aunt Wang scrunched up his face.

"How much was the rent last month?"

Just as Shi Xingcan was panicking, Qin Yanmo's voice came out from the corridor. He did not know when he appeared, but strode over. "How much does she owe you?"

Aunt Wang looked at him in a daze, momentarily forgetting to speak. Qin Yanmo's expensive suit and jacket were at odds with each other in this run-down corridor, as if he was secretly interviewing the citizens.

"One …" "Fifteen hundred." Aunt Wang's arrogant tone suddenly dropped by half, "Last month's one thousand five hundred, this month's starting price will increase by three hundred, that is one thousand and eight hundred. At least pay for half a year, that is twelve thousand and three hundred." She counted on his fingers. "You can transfer the money to me."

Qin Yanmo opened his wallet and counted out fifteen red bills. "This is the rent from last month, then we won't rent it. Open the door and let her take it. "

"Huh?" Shi Xingcan was startled, and Aunt Wang opened his mouth wide.

"Price... The price may be one thousand seven hundred dollars. " Aunt Wang stammered, "I'll give you three months first then …"

"No need, open the door." Qin Yanmo stuffed the money into the big pocket of Aunt Wang's apron, "I'm very busy."

Aunt Wang could only open the door while trembling, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Shi Xingcan was pushed into the room in a daze.

The room was very dark, and there was a musty smell in the room due to the long period of not opening the window. Shi Xingcan awkwardly opened the window and let Qin Yanmo sit down.

"Why did you come up?" She smiled awkwardly.

"I've been looking for a long time, but I haven't seen any rooms with lights on. I'm guessing that you haven't been inside for so long, and might have met with some trouble."

Shi Xingcan was startled, and couldn't help but feel touched in her heart. Thinking about how Qin Yanmo stood downstairs and stared at every single window, his eyes started to ache. She quickly turned her head and pretended to be packing up. "Then how did you know I lived on the seventh floor?"

"The elevator was coming down from the seventh floor when I pressed it." Qin Yanmo could not help but laugh, "Why do you have so many questions?

"Then …" Shi Xingcan's face was a little awkward. When Qin Yanmo realized this, he spoke first.

"I have an apartment here. It's not that big. You can stay there for now." Then, he was afraid that Shi Xingcan would think too much into it, so he quickly added, "I will leave after I complete my tasks, so I won't stay here too long."

"Then... "Thank you." "Shi Xingcan thanked her sincerely, as this really solved a huge problem for her." I'll pay you back when I get paid. "

"Since we're already friends, then let's not care about these things." Qin Yanmo frowned, "But come to think of it, didn't you always work here? "Why don't you have any savings?"

Shi Xingcan's expression immediately became helpless, as if she had been stabbed in the ribs. She hesitated for a long time before speaking. She hated my mother for living in the time home and eating their food, so she had to pay the rent. "Actually, they didn't lack these thousand dollars. All they wanted was to torture my mom, so they were happy." She paused, "And I need to hire some servants …" "Hades is easy to fool, little ghosts are hard to deal with …"

After she finished speaking, she felt that she had misspoken, looking at Qin Yanmo's expression in fear, she quickly added: "But I also understand, after all, to her, she is a woman who robbed her own husband, and has lived under the same roof as her for twenty years. It would be strange if she could forgive us …"

Qin Yanmo sighed, the lines on his forehead became deeper: "I knew she had treated you guys poorly, but I never thought she would be so arrogant. Does your father not care? "

"Daddy is afraid of her." Shi Xingcan sighed, "They can be considered to be married, and sometimes the Madam would scold Father, saying that he married her for the Su Family's money."

"And she blamed her husband, not your mother." Qin Yanmo said disdainfully, "I never thought that the time home would become like this after three generations."

Shi Xingcan did not understand the meaning of his last sentence: "Mom did not tell me before, but Mrs Zhang did tell me a little in secret. My mother was a servant of the time home before, but was tricked by my father. After she became pregnant, she had no choice but to live in the time home. My father wanted to have a son, so he forced my mother to give birth to me. "

Qin Yanmo stood up and hugged Shi Xingcan. After a long while, he finally let go. "Hurry up and pack up. I'll take you back."

Shi Xingcan did not have much things to begin with, and she did not keep anything in her "tidy" house. So it didn't take long for her to pack up and go downstairs with Qin Yanmo.

When he arrived at Qin Yanmo's apartment, Shi Xingcan realized that the "not very big" he meant that there were three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, and an attic.

"Choose which room you want to stay in." Qin Yanmo waved his hand, "You are the first woman to live here."

"It's my honor, Chairman Qin." Shi Xingcan joked. Since she had agreed to be his friend, there was no need to hesitate.

Qin Yanmo laughed and took out a few eggs and a bunch of noodles from the fridge, "I'm hungry, so I'll give them to you to eat."
