If they knew that everything was his own scheme, he would lose them completely.

He could only pray that Qin Yue would believe him.

If it weren't for the experiences of the previous life, and if so many things hadn't happened, even if she knew that everything was Qin Xu's scheme, she might have just said that it was all in the past out of consideration for their years of friendship.

Qin's parents truly treated him like a son, and even if they knew what really happened, they would never hold it against him.

They were all genuinely kind to him back then.

But she had been through life and death, and knew Qin Xu's true colors, and how selfish a person could be. So, even without what Shen Zhihe said, they would never have been able to go back to the way things were.

The idea that there is no hate without love is all a lie.

A person is capable of pure hatred.

She wished Qin Xu would die immediately.

She felt uncomfortable if she spoke to him even for a few minutes.

“I’m not your sister. You should know better than anyone what really happened back then. If you really think you’re innocent, you should prove yourself to Miss Shen, not cry foul here.”

Shen Zhihe chimed in, "Sister Yueyue is right. Why don't I call the dean here and ask about what happened back then? You call Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin, and we can all hear what's going on and see if I'm wronging you or if you're just trying to smear me."

He felt guilty, so of course he wouldn't dare.

They can only ramble on and play the emotional card.

Unfortunately, Qin Yue and he had long since lost all their past feelings for each other, and all his words were just noise to Qin Yue.

“Mr. Qin, you have seriously disturbed my rest. If you continue to cause trouble, I will call security.”

She wasn't threatening herself.

Qin Xu knew she would keep her word.

But how could he leave? He had finally managed to see her; how could he just leave like this?

He didn't know when he would go back; he just wanted to see her a little longer and spend more time with her.

His hands, hanging by his sides, clenched into fists. A flash of determination crossed his eyes. Ignoring the others present, he resolutely knelt before her, looking directly into her eyes, and said:

“I know I’ve been immature. I’ve never given you a moment’s peace since I was little. I’ve said hurtful things and done things that are unbecoming of my status. Whether you want to call the police to arrest me, or scold or hit me, it doesn’t matter. I just beg you, please don’t say I’m not your brother or sister. You’re the only family I have in this world. If you don’t even acknowledge me, I really can’t go on living…”

He practically put on all his acting skills, crying his heart out.

Qin Yue met his eyes.

For a fleeting moment, the person in front of her overlapped with the person kneeling in front of her mother on the rooftop.

Qin Yue's heart tightened suddenly.

She quickly dismissed her own thoughts.

Lu Yanci noticed her unusual behavior and assumed she was just upset. He stood up and blocked Qin Xu's gaze from looking at him.

He took a step forward, looking down at the person kneeling before him, his cold eyes filled with oppressive power, as if he could see through the deepest thoughts in a person's heart: "Finished?"

Qin Xu straightened his back and looked up at him.

He knew who this person was.

Lu Yanci, the eldest son of the Lu family.

Now, he's also her sister's boyfriend.

Lu Yanci was destined to die young; how could he be worthy of his sister?

What's the point of being together now? We'll die sooner or later anyway.

Thinking this, he said, "I'm talking to my sister, it's none of your business, you outsider. Get out of my way."

"Sister, sister, are you a broken record? She already said it has nothing to do with you. What's wrong with a boyfriend protecting his girlfriend? Aren't you going a bit too far by talking like that?" Shen Zhihe's voice wasn't loud, but everyone present could hear it.

Qin Xu could instantly transform into a vengeful ghost from the underworld, his cold eyes fixed on her: "What right do you have to say such things?"

Why did this woman even show up?!

Why ruin my image in my sister's eyes?

Shen Zhihe quickly buried her head in her husband's neck and whispered, "We didn't say anything too hurtful, did we? Why is he so fierce? He looks like he's going to kill someone."

Qin Xu was thrown out by Lu Yanci and Tong Wang'an.

He stood motionless at the door of the ward.

He would never give up like that.

After standing there for an unknown amount of time, some medical staff noticed his unusual behavior and went up to ask him who he was looking for.

Qin Xu didn't say anything, put on the mask he was holding, and left the corridor silently.

His assistant, Xiao Zhang, was waiting for him in the parking lot.

Seeing him walk towards the parking lot with a heavy heart, I knew he had returned empty-handed once again.

After hesitating for a long time, he still advised, "Brother Xu, I know there are some things you don't want to hear, but... I still want to advise you not to dwell on the past anymore. You've tried everything—apologies, reflections, even self-inflicted suffering—but it's all useless. Why torture yourself? You can live your own life perfectly well. Maybe with time, Miss Qin will forget all those unpleasant things."

"get off!"

"Huh?" The assistant was stunned.

He repeated coldly, "Get out of the car!"

The assistant didn't understand what he wanted to do again, so he could only pull over.

Qin Xu, however, sat in the driver's seat, ignored his assistant, and stepped on the gas, driving out of his assistant's sight.

Xiao Zhang was dumbfounded.

Did he just abandon himself like that?

No, that's his car.

his!

Damn it! I'm not working for him anymore, why did I have to suffer like this? Now look what happened, he can only wait for a car on the roadside in this cold weather.

He's clearly in a mental state right now; I pray he doesn't do anything outrageous.

But what you fear most is what happens most often.

He received a call from Qin Xu that evening.

The first question is, where is it?

Good grief, it's the police station.

He was caught driving under the influence.

Xiao Zhang muttered curses under his breath, but his actions betrayed his true intentions. He changed his clothes, took a taxi, and went to the police station.

When he arrived, Qin Xu was already sitting by the roadside.

His coat was nowhere to be seen. He sat on the curb under the streetlight in a thin shirt, a cigarette between his fingers. The light shone on him, but it couldn't dispel the desolate aura emanating from him.

He has no sympathy or pity for them right now.

Damn it, he still has to go get the car himself.

There's never a moment's peace and quiet.

"My driver's license will be suspended for several months," he said expressionlessly, his arm resting on the window as he gazed at the receding scenery.

He knew that too?

I didn't know I'd been drinking before I drove.

Assistant: "It's very convenient to get a taxi anywhere now."

Qin Xu: "You'll be my driver for the next few months."

The words of refusal were on the tip of Xiao Zhang's tongue, but when he heard that he would be paid the same salary as before, he immediately changed his mind: "Brother, wherever you want to go next, just contact me anytime."
