I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"What are you talking about? If I didn't intend to let Liu Tingwei go, I would have just killed him on the spot last night. Was all this trouble necessary?"

Qin Ge said this, but he wasn't very confident. Could it be Xie Bingning who did it?

"You two!"

As the two were talking, Jiang Mingyue returned, her tone unfriendly.

"I'm a straightforward person, I say what's on my mind. How long do you two plan to stay at our house?"

Qin Ge and Shen Yulan were both taken aback, then looked at each other in bewilderment.

Qin Ge asked, "From what Auntie is saying, does she want to kick people out?"

"That's right!" Jiang Mingyue was straightforward, not hiding anything. "Your presence here has already affected our family's life, especially you, Qin Ge!"

"I already know what happened at Winter Night Rose last night. Your staying here will only bring trouble to our family!"

"Aunt Jiang, can't you be reasonable?" Shen Yulan's face also darkened. "The matter of the Winter Night Rose clearly started because of Xixue."

"Although Qin Ge did go a bit too far, he was trying to help Xixue, wasn't he?"

"We don't necessarily have to live here, but you can't be so unreasonable..."

"Forget it!" Qin Ge interrupted Shen Yulan. "Let's go!"

After he finished speaking, he grabbed Shen Yulan and left without even turning his head back.

Shen Yulan was a little confused, not expecting Qin Ge to decide to leave so decisively.

She wanted to say something more, but Qin Ge was too strong, and after struggling for a while to no avail, she had no choice but to obediently follow him.

Jiang Mingyue stood there, frozen, her lips moving.

She thought Qin Ge would stay and not leave, so she prepared a whole bunch of excuses, but Qin Ge left before the warm-up was even over.

"Is he really leaving like this?"

"So what else do you want? The host has already told you to leave, and you still want to stay? You've got some nerve!"

"But you and Xixue aren't..."

"What is it? One thing at a time, she is her, and her mother is her mother."

"I don't believe it! You're worried that Liu Tingwei's disappearance is more than it seems, and that staying here will implicate the Fu family, so you decided to leave, right?"

"You're overthinking it. I don't have that many thoughts. You're making it sound like I'm very close to the Fu family."

"..."

At 10 a.m., Fu Cheng and Fu Xixue also returned home, arriving at almost the same time and entering the house one after the other.

"Where's Qin Ge? I have something important to tell him!"

The father and daughter spoke in unison when they saw Jiang Mingyue.

Jiang Mingyue raised her eyelids slightly. "You two, father and daughter, are really concerned about an outsider. Why don't you care about me this much?"

"They left, they left with Shen Yulan, I chased them away!"

"What did you say?!" Fu Cheng asked in a low voice.

"Snap—"

He lost his temper and slapped him across the face. "Who the hell told you to kick him out?"

Jiang Mingyue covered her face, looking at her husband in disbelief. "You hit me?"

"You actually hit me for the sake of a stranger?!"

"Fu Cheng, are you out of your mind? You've got a little money and you think you're someone special?"

She rushed over and started throwing a tantrum, punching, kicking, scratching, and hitting.

"Mom, let's talk this out, don't be impulsive!" Fu Xixue quickly stepped forward and pulled her mother back. "Mom, is Qin Ge really gone?"

She and her father rushed back after hearing the news of Liu Tingwei's disappearance, but they were too late. Qin Ge had left without even saying goodbye!

"I acted impulsively just now, but it's not entirely my fault!" Fu Cheng realized that his slap was too impulsive, and his tone softened considerably.

"Do I need to explain to you what kind of relationship Yu Lan has with our family? Qin Ge is her friend, and she's just staying at our house for a couple of days. Isn't it impolite of you to kick her out like this?"

"Qin Ge is such a sensible child, how could you take it upon yourself to send him away?"

He pointed to a large vase placed to the side, "Look, he's just a student, staying at our house and he still bought us so many things."

"Also, regarding what happened at the Winter Rose Club last night, if it weren't for him, would Xixue have been able to escape unscathed?"

"He's Xixue's savior, and this is how you treat your daughter's savior?"

"Bullshit!" Jiang Mingyue shook off her daughter. "If it weren't for Qin Ge, would we have gotten into such big trouble?"

"Liu Tingwei's arms and legs have been broken. The Liu family won't let this go easily. They'll find out about Qin Ge sooner or later. What do you plan to do then?"

"Don't tell me you want to protect him. Do you, Fu Cheng, have the ability to do so?"

"Even without all this, I'm still unhappy that he's eating and living in our house for free!"

"This villa is so big, and I still can't bear to hire a single servant. You, Fu Cheng, are so generous, covering all my food, drinks, and entertainment, aren't you?"

"How dare you mention this junk!"

"Clang, clang—"

Jiang Mingyue became more and more excited as she spoke, and suddenly rushed to the shelf and swept several pieces of porcelain off the shelf.

Those items were things Qin Ge had Shen Yulan bring back before.

"boom--"

Jiang Mingyue wasn't done making a scene yet, so she smashed the large vase to pieces as well.

"How could Qin Ge, a student, afford such nice things? Do these cheap, shoddy items from street stalls even look good enough for our villa?"

"I find it an eyesore just sitting here, it's so shabby!"

Both Fu Cheng and his daughter Fu Xixue were helpless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Alright, Mom, let Qin Ge go!"

"Can't we all just say less to each other, since we're family?"

Fu Xixue stepped forward to comfort her mother, "Mom, stay away from these shards, be careful not to get hurt. Let me clean them up!"

She moved quickly and soon brought the tools.

Seeing that her mother's expression had softened considerably, Fu Xixue asked while tidying up, "Mom, did Qin Ge say anything before he left?"

"What can I say to him!" Jiang Mingyue exclaimed, her voice trembling with anger. "Do you two really think I'm some kind of wicked person?"

"I just mentioned it to him, and he wisely left without saying a word!"

"Don't blame me for being cold-blooded, and don't overestimate yourselves and think you can stand against the Liu family!"

"Liu Tingwei is probably still in the hospital recovering from his injuries. Once he's recovered, he'll definitely come to settle this score. Qin Ge staying here is like a ticking time bomb!"

"If he doesn't leave, are you only satisfied when the Liu family comes and kills us all?"

Fu Cheng sighed helplessly, "Liu Tingwei won't be coming for a while; he's disappeared."

"He left without saying a word?" Fu Xixue muttered softly, her mood low.

That bastard really doesn't acknowledge his lover after he's done his work. They were still entwined in the morning, full of passion, and then he just left without a word!

"Liu Tingwei has disappeared?!"

"Hey, Dad, Mom, there seems to be something in this vase!"

Jiang Mingyue and Fu Xixue spoke almost simultaneously, their tones carrying different expressions of surprise.
