Qin Xuehua revealed a smug smile: "Aren't you very smart? Don't you have Qin Sheng protecting you? Fine, then call someone over to save you."

She pointed at the man with the fingerprint, her smile mocking, "For the sake of our mother-daughter relationship, let me give you a word of advice!"

The woman's face was sharp and mean, and the things she said were completely morally bankrupt.

If the tattooed man hadn't seen the proof of Pei Ling and Pei Yongshou's relationship on the Pei family's household registration book, he would have thought they weren't mother and daughter, but rather enemies with some deep-seated hatred.

The tattooed man couldn't hold back any longer and kicked Qin Xuehua to the ground.

Qin Xuehua was completely stunned by the kick, and even Pei Yongshou's expression changed.

A bad feeling rose in his heart, and he immediately asked in a deep voice, "The agreement has been signed, and the IOU has been torn up. Our Pei family no longer owes you anything. Isn't it too much for you to resort to violence?"

The tattooed man sneered, "You dare to insult our young lady? I'd be lenient if I didn't kill you all. What's with the overreaction!"

Pei Yongshou's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart pounded violently: "...Who...who are you talking about?"

Pei Ling frowned as well: "What do you mean?"

The tattooed man felt a little guilty, and just as he was stammering and not daring to speak, a man's figure walked in from outside the door.

It was December, and the weather was already quite cold, but the man only wore a large black overcoat over his shirt.

He had short, neat black hair, sharp, eagle-like eyes, and an undeniable air of authority and ferocity. He also exuded a strong smell of blood.

He wore a pair of black leather gloves on his slender hands, but you could still see that a section of his right little finger was missing.

Yu Chengyun's cold and fierce gaze swept over everyone in the hall, finally landing on Pei Ling.

A smile played on his lips: "It means that from today onwards, you are my sister, Yu Chengyun's sister, the eldest daughter of Jiuyun Hall."

Pei Ling stared at the man in front of her, her eyes filled with deep doubt.

After a long while, a youthful face, so distant that it was almost unrecognizable, appeared in Pei Ling's mind. Her eyes flickered: "It's you?"

Yu Chengyun smiled, a wicked glint in his eyes: "Long time no see, little sister."

Pei Ling: "..."

A pair of jet-black eyes, incredibly complex.

Pei Ling never expected that the casino she randomly chose would be backed by Yu Chengyun.

What was supposed to be a show to get rid of the Pei family turned out to be followed by a cunning schemer.

Pei Ling frowned: "What do you want to do?"

Yu Chengyun took the signed agreement from his subordinate and waved it: "Taking my sister home, huh?"

Pei Ling: "..."

Yu Chengyun laughed: "Your parents have already sold you to me. You are now a member of Jiuyuntang."

Pei Ling: "..."

An inexplicable surge of anger welled up within her. Pei Ling glared coldly at the man, about to speak, when a clear, cold voice came from outside the door: "My sister, you think you can just take her away like that?"

Pei Ling's eyes brightened slightly. She walked directly past Yu Chengyun to Qin Sheng's side, her voice low and husky: "Sister..."

Qin Sheng patted her head: "It's okay."

After speaking, she looked up at Yu Chengyun.

She looked Yu Chengyun up and down, then suddenly asked, "How old are you? How do you know each other?"

Yu Chengyun: "???"

Finally, Pei Ling answered, her voice very low: "The year you were taken away, I accidentally saved him once. He must have been thirteen or fourteen years old at the time."

The year she left was twelve years ago.

That means he's twenty-five or twenty-six now.

Qin Sheng narrowed his eyes: "Xiao Ling is sixteen years old this year."

Yu Chengyun: "???"

Qin Sheng: "You're too old, don't even think about it."

Yu Chengyun: "..."

He was so angry that he couldn't help but grind his back teeth. If the other person hadn't looked like they had a good relationship with Pei Ling, he probably would have kicked them away.

To Yu Chengyun's surprise, before he could even make a move, the girl opposite him had already rushed towards him.

Yu Chengyun paused for a moment, then immediately clasped his hands together to block Qin Sheng's kick.

But the force of the kick was greater than he had imagined, and he staggered back two steps uncontrollably.

Qin Sheng chased after him closely, pulled out a dagger from somewhere, and swung it at Yu Chengyun's neck.

In just two exchanges, Yu Chengyun realized that his opponent's strength was beyond his imagination. He dared not be careless and dodged Qin Sheng's move with a sudden backward tilt. Then, with a flip and sideways movement, he appeared to Qin Sheng's side.

Qin Sheng had anticipated this and swept his leg out horizontally.

The two then began to exchange blows.

Not to mention Qin Xuehua and the other two who were already paralyzed with fear, even Yu Chengyun's subordinates and Pei Ling were stunned.

It took Pei Ling a full two minutes to come back to her senses.

She immediately wanted to go up and stop the two, but as soon as she took a step, she heard a thud and Yu Chengyun was kicked onto the sofa.

Qin Sheng did not pursue the matter further.

He said in a cold voice, "If you want to mess with my sister, you'll have to beat me first."

Pei Ling: "..."

Yu Chengyun: "..."

Things seemed to have turned out somewhat unexpectedly for him.

Qin Sheng didn't look at them anymore, turned around, grabbed Pei Ling's hand, and left the Pei family.

It wasn't until she got into the car that Pei Ling came to her senses, still a little dazed: "Sister, he and I aren't..."

Qin Sheng interrupted her: "You're still young, you don't understand."

Pei Ling: "?"

Qin Sheng, feeling that he had been through it all, said earnestly, "That guy surnamed Yu looks like a dog, he's not a good person, you should be careful."

Pei Ling: "..."

She's only been abroad for less than two years, what happened to her sister?

Qin Sheng patted her head and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Pei Ling: "..."

Never mind, my sister seems a bit off right now, so I'll stay silent.

but……

"What about the agreement?" Pei Ling asked.

Qin Sheng composed herself, and after a moment, raised her eyes: "That's fine too."

Meeting Pei Ling's questioning gaze, she paused and explained, "Those people from the Pei family are typical bullies who prey on the weak. In their eyes, we are weak."

Therefore, even if things go according to Pei Ling's plan and they successfully obtain the contract to sever ties, given the shamelessness of those people in the Pei family, they will still harass Pei Ling whenever they have the chance.

Although they were in the right, it was still quite annoying.

They dared not go too far with those people.

That saved us some trouble.
