Upon hearing this, a hint of malice flashed in Lin Yuhao's eyes. He hung up the phone with a smile, but anger surged within him. How could Qingyun still be alive? And she even chose this time to go to school, and Nie Chenyuan had just asked her about it today…

Lin Yuhao had a vague sense of unease. He wasn't afraid that his mother would find out he had tried to kill Qingyun; he was afraid that Qingyun would become emotional and talk nonsense at school after seeing his mother.

After all, Lin Yuhao is also studying at that school, and Qingyun's words will inevitably damage the image he can cultivate.

"Brother Nie," Lin Yuhao smiled sheepishly, "My mom is going to visit me at school, so I need to get back before she finds out."

Lin Yuhao was well past the age for high school, so he dropped out. When his mother found out, she wanted to make it up to him and forced him to get into high school.

"Xuancheng Middle School, right? I graduated from that school too, so I'll go back and visit."

Nie Chenyuan lied without batting an eye. He had long forgotten where he went to high school, and he only went along because he was worried about Qingyun.

Although Qingyun's cultivation level was unexpectedly high, she had inexplicably shown fear of Lin Yuhao at the banquet. Nie Chenyuan now believed about 80% of Qingyun's words, but Lin Yuhao's cultivation was clearly inferior to Qingyun's, so how did he manage to injure her?

Nie Chenyuan thought of Qingyun, then looked at Lin Yuhao, and inexplicably began to doubt his ability to judge people.

What I thought was weak and cowardly turned out to be powerful and arrogant; what I thought was an open and generous person may have been a venomous snake spitting poison.

-

A low-key yet subtly luxurious Bentley pulled up in front of the school. The door slowly opened, and Lin's mother, dressed in opulent attire, stepped out.

“This is enough.” She turned and smiled at the driver in the car, and said gently, “I need to go in and check on Yuhao. He’s only been at school for a few days and he might be a little unsettled. Please wait here for a while.”

Madam Lin always wore a gentle and approachable smile. Although she was over forty, she was well-maintained, possessing both the gentleness and intellect of a mature woman and a subtle girlish innocence. Having served as the mistress of the Qing family for nearly twenty years, she had acquired an air of nobility in her eyes and brows.

This is clearly a woman who knows how to use her own strengths.

Lin Yuhao is nearly twenty years old. He dropped out of school after graduating from junior high school, but his mother felt guilty and insisted on making up for his student life, so she sent him to the best school in the province.

Walking leisurely along the path on campus, Lin's mother reached out and caught a falling leaf, smiling slightly.

She knew, of course, that Lin Yuhao had absolutely no interest in school life, and she also knew that he was probably not at school right now. However, she knew even better what she could do to make Lin Yuhao happy. She had to perfectly fulfill the expectations Lin Yuhao wanted her to have.

Letting the leaf fall, Lin's mother turned her head, but suddenly her eyes widened, her gentle expression freezing on her face like a distorted mask.

"What are you doing here?!"

Qingyun was also somewhat surprised. He had a great interest in the world’s booming technology and was not satisfied with the step-by-step exam-oriented education. So he came to the school today to apply for a leave of absence. He did not expect to meet these people.

Looking at Lin's mother, who was almost frozen in place, Lin Yuhao with a gloomy expression not far behind her, and Nie Chenyuan, who had also come here for some reason, Qing Yunwei gave a barely perceptible twitch of the corner of her mouth.

“I also go to school here,” Qingyun replied calmly to Lin’s mother.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the two people behind Lin's mother changed slightly. Lin Yuhao put on a helpless expression, but his eyes became even more gloomy as he quickly walked towards Lin's mother.

Nie Chenyuan looked at Lin's mother, lost in thought. Lin's mother had been in the Qing family for nearly twenty years, how could she not know that Qingyun attended this high school? Her reaction was exactly the same as Lin Yuhao's earlier.

Exactly the same?

Nie Chenyuan's pupils contracted as he looked in shock at Lin's mother, who was nestled together with Lin Yuhao.

Nie Chenyuan could understand Lin Yuhao's attack on Qingyun, but how could Lin's mother know about it? She was Qingyun's biological mother who had raised her for 18 years, and she didn't stop Lin Yuhao from killing Qingyun?

Thinking about what Qingyun had gone through, even someone as knowledgeable as Nie Chenyuan couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Qingyun chuckled inwardly. Lin's mother wasn't really asking why he was there; she probably wanted to know why he was still alive. This woman was clearly aware of what had happened a few days ago when Qingyun went to see her, only to be stopped and brutally killed by Lin Yuhao.

Lin Yuhao stepped forward and put his arm around his mother, looking at her with concern in his eyes. Although he didn't show it on his face, he was secretly determined to make a move.

He thought Qingyun was doomed after being beaten to such an extent, but unexpectedly, she appeared at school today. It's dismissal time now, and some students have already gathered around. If Qingyun says something carelessly, his carefully cultivated image will likely be tarnished.

Thinking of this, a hint of ruthlessness involuntarily flashed in Lin Yuhao's eyes.

“My mother has been restless these days. Now that she has suddenly seen you, she is probably reminded of those days when she was forced to be like this, which is why her tone was a little harsh.”

Lin's mother then revealed her weariness, frowning as she weakly leaned against Lin Yuhao's chest.

"Forced?" Qingyun's voice rang out with sarcasm. He took a step closer to the mother and son who were leaning against each other, his eyes sharp and his words scathing. "My father must have been a fool. He forced you to become the lawfully wedded wife of the Qing family, forced you to dote on him, forced you to enjoy the rights of the Qing family's matriarch, and finally forced you to live with the murderer of your deceased husband while holding his property?"
