When she saw that Qin Xiaoye neither took the soup nor said anything, she realized that something was wrong. She looked up and saw Qin Xiaoyu, and almost dropped the bowl. The soup spilled and splashed onto her hands. She cried out and ran back to the kitchen.

Qin Xiaoye looked a bit fuller than when she left Guangzhou. She was originally too thin, so she looked better with a little more weight.

She has a face that can be considered beautiful, with excellent skin and exquisite makeup, showing that she has put a lot of effort into her appearance.

Watching their standoff, Xiao Ye's father stood aside, rubbing his hands together. He was not as domineering as he was at home, and he didn't even dare to sit on the sofa.

It's clear that he's just an appendage in this family, or rather, a free servant. He doesn't deserve the title of father-in-law, and Zhang Dahai probably doesn't think much of him either.

"Zhu Yuzhen has come looking for you, hasn't she?" Qin Xiaoye had guessed it all.

"Yes." Qin Xiaoyu didn't stand on ceremony with her. She sat on the sofa, while A Lei stood behind her without moving.

"She still thinks you can control me. That woman is incredibly stupid. And Zhang Dahai's wife, she refuses to divorce him and tries to use the child to keep him tied down." Qin Xiaoye sneered as she sat down opposite Qin Xiaoyu.

"So you've become a concubine?" Qin Xiaoyu asked with a half-smile.

"Ha, you're still as vicious as ever. My time as a concubine is only temporary; sooner or later, the position of young mistress of the Zhang family will be mine." Qin Xiaoye has also undergone a complete transformation; her resilience has improved by more than one or two levels.

"I have to say, your values ​​are really warped. You ousted his wife, became his mistress, and you don't even have a shred of shame. I'm ashamed for you. How can you be so shameless?"

"What is shame? Zhang Dahai loves me, and I was here first. She stole my place, and I'm just taking back what belongs to me. Don't worry about what methods I used; it's just a means, understand?" Qin Xiaoye exploded. It seems her cultivation is still insufficient.

"That's well said. What you got here first is yours. But do you really love Zhang Dahai now? You just want his money and status."

Qin Xiaoyu's words stripped away Qin Xiaoye's last shred of skin.

"Get out of here! You got everything, so you have the right to laugh at me? Didn't you also use tricks to hook up with A Lei? What are you! Get out of here!" Qin Xiaoye screamed hysterically and lunged forward, but A Lei blocked her between the two sisters, and she couldn't even touch Qin Xiaoyu.

She pinched, twisted, and scratched at A Lei like a madwoman. Qin Xiaoyu was so angry that she wanted to fight back, but A Lei blocked her between him and the sofa with his arm, preventing her from making a move.

"Xiao Ye, you need to take care of yourself! You can't move around like that!" Xiao Ye's mother heard something was wrong and rushed out of the kitchen, grabbing Qin Xiao Ye and pulling her back.

Qin Xiaoye was exhausted. She collapsed onto the sofa and burst into tears. Her mother was so frightened that she quickly tried to comfort her.

Xiao Ye's father was so angry that he stomped his feet. If it weren't for A Lei being there, he would have already attacked Qin Xiaoyu.

"Let's go." A Lei turned around, pulled Qin Xiaoyu up, and escorted her out the door.

Once outside, Qin Xiaoyu realized she was covered in sweat and her hands were trembling.

"Are you hurt?" Qin Xiaoyu pulled A Lei over and checked him with concern. Fortunately, they were all superficial wounds. She didn't know if Qin Xiaoye wasn't strong enough or if she was just reluctant to hurt him, but they were all minor injuries.

“I’m fine. Let her be. There’s nothing we can do. You’re breastfeeding right now, and it’s easy to hurt yourself if you move. Your health is the most important thing. Don’t get angry with her; it’s not worth it.” A Lei hugged Qin Xiaoyu and walked towards their car.

A car's headlights flashed ahead, and a car drove in.

"It's Zhang Dahai's car," A Lei remarked, his eyes sharp.

Zhang Dahai also saw them, parked his car, and walked over.

"Hehe, my mom must have been looking for you guys." Zhang Dahai was quite tactful.

"You're amazing. If you like Qin Xiaoye so much, you should just get a divorce."

“You don’t understand. We can’t get a divorce. If we don’t, the Xing family is my bargaining chip. I can get a lot more money from the old man. For families like ours, face is the most important thing, more important than life itself. So now I’m not afraid anymore. Why should someone with nothing to lose be afraid of someone with something to lose?” Zhang Dahai’s theory made Qin Xiaoyu realize that Qin Xiaoye and Zhang Dahai were truly a perfect match.

"Let's go." A Lei didn't want to listen anymore and reached for the car door.

“You don’t need to be so aloof. We’re practically brothers-in-law, and I’m happy to acknowledge this relationship. Let’s have a meal together,” Zhang Dahai said, quite magnanimously.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to acknowledge this relationship." Qin Xiaoyu didn't give him any face and got into the passenger seat.

"Fine, if you don't want to admit it, then so be it. You can live your lives clean and honest, and I don't believe you can't be brought down." Zhang Dahai spat on the ground and turned to walk towards the door.

They heard the noise inside, and the door opened immediately. Xiao Ye's father's solicitous voice came through, "Da Hai, you're back? Come in quickly, the food's getting cold. Your mother and I kept saying we were worried it would get cold, so we reheated it for you..."

"Hurry up and go!" Qin Xiaoyu almost vomited when she saw this servile attitude. There are plenty of people who would bow down for a living, and everyone has their own way of life. You can't force them.

The family was waiting for their reply, and seeing Qin Xiaoyu's bad expression, they guessed what had happened.

"It's no use. She's just aiming to be a mistress. There's no stopping her." Qin Xiaoyu sighed and slumped heavily onto the sofa.

"Zhang Dahai was deformed because of his mother's parenting." Mrs. Fang had the right to speak on this matter, as she had watched Zhang Dahai grow up.

He was originally just the son of a prominent family, someone I had only heard of.

The longest period that A Lei stayed in China was when he was sixteen or seventeen years old. It was during that time that he met Zhang Dahai, who would often bring him back to stay. Only then did Madam Fang realize that what she had seen was all an illusion.

In the eyes of the Zhang family, Zhang Dahai was an excellent student, but he was not smart enough and had no talent, so his parents did not pay much attention to him. However, he was definitely an honest child.

Compared to him, A Lei was a rebellious teenager, smoking, drinking, clubbing, racing cars—he did everything that was allowed. Therefore, the Zhang family was always wary of them being together, fearing they would corrupt Zhang Dahai.

Only Madam Fang knew that Zhang Dahai was more skilled at everything than A Lei, and in some things, he was the one who took A Lei to do them.

For this reason, Madam Fang had a special talk with A Lei, and said to him sternly, "Although the Fang family is very easygoing, they must not touch drugs."

Ah Lei isn't stupid. Even though he didn't take this path, Zhang Dahai didn't miss out on any of them. Later, he added a gambling habit, and that basically completed the set.

"He's such a good actor; he could win an Oscar." Qin Xiaoyu could never forget the first time she met him. How could that sunny young man have turned into such a tainted person after revealing his dark side?

“If he doesn’t pretend, he’ll become an even bigger pawn. Those kinds of families are also cruel. There are many children, and resources are limited. It’s impossible for everyone to have equal access.”

"So what? How much worse can it be? It's still better than an ordinary family." Qin Xiaoyu still didn't understand.
