"I'm going to the hospital to see Mengqing," Qin Zhiluo said, picking up her bag. Her usually impeccable makeup looked slightly tired.

"I'll go with you," Long Yanli said, getting into the car with the girl.

She pressed the window button hard, and cold air rushed into the car, messing up her hair, but she was oblivious, staring intently out the window with a fierce look in her eyes.

"Baby, be careful not to catch a cold," Long Yanli said, rolling down the car window to leave a small crack.

Qin Zhiluo nestled into his arms, her voice muffled, "I never imagined I would hurt my student."

“It’s not your fault,” Long Yanli said, looking at her with deep eyes. He hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead.

Hospital

"You good-for-nothing! Your father got arrested because of you. How come you're still alive?" Mengqing's mother grabbed Mengqing by the collar and slapped her.

"Why are you still in the hospital? We don't have the money to pay for your hospital stay!" Mengqing's mother kicked over a stool next to her with a loud crash, then strode forward and pushed her off the bed.

Mengqing just cried, neither stopping nor fighting back, letting her be hit and scolded.

"Get out!" Qin Zhilu grabbed her hand and threw her out.

"Who do you think you are? It's none of your business if I'm disciplining my daughter!" She pointed at Qin Zhiluo, her face contorted with anger, and the veins on her neck bulged.

"When Mengqing was five years old, you bought her to do housework and take care of your newborn son, as a child bride," Qin Zhiluo said coldly as she looked at her.

"No...no," she slumped to the ground, staring at her with a horrified expression.

"Mengqing is giving you a chance. Do you choose to stay here or come with me?" Qin Zhiluo helped Mengqing up, looking directly at her.

"I want to leave, help me!" Mengqing's shoulders trembled violently, and she could barely stand. Tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.

"Brother, call the police." Qin Zhiluo glanced at her, who was slumped on the ground. "This is your retribution."

She writhed on the ground like a wriggling eel. Wiping the tears streaming down her face, she cried out at the top of her lungs, "No...no, I know I was wrong." She tried to grab Meng Qing, but Qin Zhiluo kicked her away.

Seeing the little girl's angry face, Long Yanli went to buy two cups of milk tea and got into the car.

"I just feel a little powerless," Qin Zhiluo looked up at him, "Don't worry."

"Baby, I want to keep you at home, where you can eat, drink, and play all day. I don't want you to worry about so much." Long Yanli was truly heartbroken. Damn that evil organization, I'll wipe them out sooner or later.

"Okay, I want to eat hot pot tonight," Qin Zhiluo said, perking up at the mention of food.

Pear Garden

"You're back? What's this?" Qin Ji asked, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"Meng Qing, she will be checking into Yundu." Qin Zhiluo looked at the hot pot that had been prepared in advance, and the corners of her mouth slowly turned up. She immediately sat down as quickly as possible.

"Let's take her upstairs to rest first," Qin Zhiluo said, seeing her exhausted appearance. "We'll bring her some dinner upstairs."

"Try my dipping sauce," Qin Ji said with a proud look on his face.

“Baby doesn’t eat cilantro.” Long Yanli took his bowl away, brought over his own condiment, and had a very smug expression on his face.

"Tch," Qin Ji ignored him and buried his head in his food.

"Comfortable," Li Huangchen said, lying on the sofa after eating and drinking his fill.

"Luo Luo, can you tell us about that organization?" Fu Yiming couldn't hold back any longer; he had been holding it in all day.

Qin Zhiluo glanced at them and sighed.
