Mr. Yan, wake up! Your wife isn't a delicate little flower.

"Sister, are you in a bad mood?" Qin Shengxia ran over, leaving He Lanyu behind, her face full of worry.

Subconsciously patting Qin Shengxia's head, Cheng Xihe shook his head: "No, I have to go first."

"Hey, put the things down here."

Nan Xi walked to Cheng Xihe's side and whispered, "What's wrong?"

"Haven't we taught some people a lesson enough? They've gone back to complain." Cheng Xihe's eyes narrowed slightly.

Before she could even properly deal with Qin Ruosu, the other woman took the initiative to come over and let her slap her in the face.

She didn't hold back.

Mu Xiaoting rolled her eyes: "She still dares to go back and complain? I'm speechless, she's shameless!"

"fine."

Qin Shengxia tugged at Cheng Xihe's arm: "Sister, do you want me to go back with you?"

"No need, going back will only cause more trouble." Cheng Xihe patted Qin Shengxia's hand. "You can go back wherever you want."

After thinking for a moment, Qin Shengxia shook her head: "I'll just stay at Brother Qi Shen's house. It's been a long time since I've had a proper meal."

"We want some too!" Mu Xiaoting hugged Qin Shengxia's arm.

Nanxi nodded: "Okay, I'll come to your place for dinner."

The two immediately betrayed Qin Shengxia and followed her.

Cheng Xihe handed the schoolbag to them: "Please put my things away for me. I'll go back by myself and be back on Sunday."

"OK."

Cheng Xihe only brought his cell phone, and he made calls as he walked.

"Ring ring ring".

After two rings, Bai Ce's voice came through: "Boss, boss, you've finished your military training?"

"Okay, come pick me up, I need to go back to the Qin family." Cheng Xihe boarded the bus and rode to the door.

"it is good."

Bai Ce hung up the phone and got up to leave.

The assistant quickly pulled him back: "Mr. Bai, a supplier will be coming to discuss cooperation later."

"I'll leave this small matter to you to handle." Bai Ce waved his hand dismissively.

With a sigh, the assistant pressed on, "Mr. Bai, there are still decisions to be made later, and I'm not in charge of this part of the business."

"Let Xiao Chen handle this; he's the one who specializes in this business." After making the arrangements, Bai Ce left without stopping.

Before long, Cheng Xihe got into Bai Ce's car.

As soon as Cheng Xihe got into the car, his face darkened.

Seeing this, Bai Ce cautiously asked, "Boss, what's wrong? Who upset you?"

"I beat up Qin Ruosu, and she went back to Qin Jian to complain. Qin Jian told me to go back." Cheng Xihe scoffed.

She didn't cause trouble for Qin Ruosu, but the other party went and caused trouble first, so she shouldn't blame her.

Bai Ce scoffed, "He dares to let you go back? If Qin Jian were any human being, he wouldn't let Qin Ruosu do that."

"You're saying Qin Ruosu isn't his biological daughter? He spoils her so much, just for the Zhang family's resources?"

The Qin family is now on par with the Zhang family.

If they were to let their ex-wife suffer such injustice just for this small benefit, then the Qin family would lose all credibility in the industry.

"Resources? He doesn't actually need the Zhang family's resources anymore; he's just pretending to need them."

So that's definitely not the reason.

Cheng Xihe also couldn't understand what Qin Jian was doing.

He was somewhat strange.

"Do you need my help, boss?" Bai Ce looked at Cheng Xihe with great interest.

If he helps, could he also go and watch the boss beat up the scumbag?

I'm so excited just thinking about it!

"I don't need it for now. I'll go back and check the situation first, and I'll contact you if there are any problems." Cheng Xihe shook his head and refused.

If things get really bad, she can just go back and beat Qin Jian up too.

Anyway, that guy deserved to be beaten up.

Bai Ce nodded: "Don't worry, I'll be there whenever you call!"

"Um."

A moment later, Bai Ce suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, boss, I heard that someone used their authority to try to check your file. They're from City A."

"I know, go ahead and investigate," Cheng Xihe chuckled.

Anyway, even if the other party investigates, they won't find any important information.

Bai Ce: "The order came from the top leadership, not to grant them the authority to do so, so they didn't get your core information."

"Well, just reveal a little bit."

Cheng Xihe looked ahead. It wouldn't be good if people in City A knew too much. Basic information was enough to prove that she was one of them.

Bai Ce said with some concern, "But boss, won't you be exposing your identity like this?"

People in City A are hard to trust; there might be something fishy going on.

"It's alright, they only know the surface, they can't see the rest." Cheng Xihe wasn't worried.

Unless someone is incredibly audacious enough to hack into their file system, no other information about her can be found.

Bai Ce was a little worried: "But if they find out that you joined the army before you were old enough, won't they make a big deal out of it and criticize you?"

"I was specially recruited, what's there to be afraid of?" Cheng Xihe shrugged, completely unconcerned.

If you dare to use this to cause trouble, aren't you just asking for death?

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot," Bo Ce smiled, "Then I'm not worried."

Before long, they arrived at the Qin family's residence.

Cheng Xihe got out of the car and leaned against the door: "Remember not to go too far. I'm going home later."

"Go back where?"

Bai Ce turned his head to look at her: "My home?"

"I'll go to Yan Mingchuan's place first. You know the address." Cheng Xihe thought for a moment and decided to go back to Yan Mingchuan's place first.

It's almost time, so we can do it again.

Bai Ce nodded: "OK, then I'll wait for you outside."

"Yes, it won't be long."

Chao Bai Ce nodded, and Cheng Xi He turned and returned to the Qin family.

As soon as Cheng Xihe pushed open the Qin family's gate, he saw Butler Ye arranging vases at the door.

"The Second Miss is back!" Butler Ye quickly came forward to greet her.

Cheng Xihe greeted him casually, "Uncle, you're busy, aren't you?"

"I'm fine, but you might have some trouble, Second Miss," Butler Ye said in a low voice.

Cheng Xihe raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"

"The young lady came home from school at noon today to complain, and now she, her husband, and her mother are waiting for you in the living room," Butler Ye whispered to Cheng Xihe.

Cheng Xihe remained expressionless: "Hmm, what's Zhang Zhiyue's attitude?"

"The lady looked a little embarrassed, the young lady was crying, and the gentleman was very angry. That's about it."

After finishing speaking, Butler Ye glanced at Cheng Xihe.

He was worried that the second young lady would be bullied in the Qin family.

"Okay, I understand, thank you Uncle Ye." Cheng Xihe nodded to Butler Ye and walked into the living room.

The atmosphere in the living room was very tense.

Qin Jian sat on the main sofa, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, exuding an imposing aura.

Zhang Zhiyue sat on the double sofa to the side, admiring her manicured nails without saying a word.

Beside her, Qin Ruosu held her arm, her eyes red from crying, her sobs filled with obvious exhaustion.

She had clearly been crying for a long time.

"What's up?"

Cheng Xihe stood next to the wine cabinet in the living room, leaning against it, his voice utterly calm.

Even if Qin Ruosu complains, it will be to no avail.

Zhang Zhiyue looked up at Cheng Xihe and quickly explained, "It wasn't me."

"Mom?" Qin Ruosu stared blankly at Zhang Zhiyue, not understanding why she suddenly said that.

"Snapped!"

Qin Jian slammed his hand on the sofa armrest, stood up, and glared at Cheng Xihe with a livid face: "So you still know how to come back!"

"Didn't you call me to come back? That's ridiculous!" Cheng Xihe retorted without any politeness.

Zhang Zhiyue pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but in the end she looked away.

He didn't look at Qin Ruosu, Qin Jian, or even Cheng Xihe; he could only look down at his phone.

Beside the cabinet not far away, Qin Yebai crouched furtively, carefully hiding himself and watching the situation.

I feel like today's boss is more terrifying than before.

Could it be because of military training?

"Cheng Xihe, your attitude..."

"I've always treated you this way. Didn't my last punch teach you a lesson?"

Cheng Xihe twitched the corner of his lips and raised his fist.

Qin Jian instinctively stepped back.

Cheng Xihe's fists never follow any rules.

"Let me tell you, Cheng Xihe, no matter how you look at it today, it's still your fault. How dare you have someone beat up your sister!" Qin Jian's mind raced as she organized her thoughts.

He grew angrier the more he talked, and he even glared at Cheng Xihe.

"Qin Jian, why are you angry? Is it because Qin Ruosu is your true love?"

Cheng Xihe's cold gaze swept over Qin Ruosu, who shuddered.

Qin Jian was furious and pointed at Qin Ruosu: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are all my children."

Susu is your older sister, she's always been so gentle, why did you hit her?

Look what you've done to your sister's face!

"Oh, I went easy on you."

Cheng Xihe glanced indifferently at Qin Ruosu's face.

After just one glance, Qin Ruosu couldn't help but tremble and shrank back onto the sofa.

Cheng Xihe scoffed, "What are you afraid of? You're this scared just by looking at you? Why aren't you afraid when you're creating bad karma with your words?"

"I...I don't know what you're talking about..."

Qin Ruosu covered her face and whispered, "Xihe, it's okay if you don't like me, but you've made me laugh at school these past few days, and my body is covered in bruises."

"Look at your sister, she kept it a secret for you for so long!" Qin Jian felt heartbroken.

The swelling hasn't gone down even a week after the beating, which shows how hard it was!

Cheng Xihe calmly said, "I only slapped you a few times, and the swelling hasn't gone down after a week? Did you hit yourself?"

"You're quick to admit it, aren't you? You're the one who hit him, aren't you?" Qin Jian walked a few steps in front of Cheng Xihe and stood between him and Qin Ruosu.

Cheng Xihe remained unfazed: "It was me who hit him, so what? Did I deny it?"

"Cheng Xihe!"

Qin Jian's finger was almost poking Cheng Xihe's nose as he said aggressively:

"You openly beat your sister at school! Where is your manners?! Does the Qin family have no shame?"

"What does it matter to me whether your Qin family has any shame? I don't even have the surname Qin."

Cheng Xihe shrugged, clearly not taking him seriously.

"Waaaaah..."

Qin Ruosu burst into tears, looking at Qin Jian with teary eyes: "Dad, let it go. Xihe didn't do it on purpose. It was all my fault."

Her crying was louder than before, and it sounded especially pitiful.

"Pfft..."

Cheng Xihe couldn't help but laugh.

Her smile didn't reach her eyes, and when she looked at Qin Jian and Qin Ruosu, it was tinged with a hint of coldness.

Zhang Zhiyue and Qin Yebai, who were hiding not far away, shuddered, both instinctively shrinking back.

Okay, that's terrifying.

Qin Jian was furious: "Cheng Xihe, what are you laughing at? How dare you laugh here!"

"How could I be as shameless as you?"

Cheng Xihe looked at him, then glanced at Qin Ruosu beside him: "If you didn't know better, you'd think Qin Ruosu was your biological daughter."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was simultaneously taken aback...
