"Ke Qiao!" Mrs. Ke roared, looking at Ke Qiao, whose attitude was particularly impolite, with utter shock.
Her carefully raised daughter shouldn't be like this!
Ke's father, also suppressing his anger, reached out and grabbed Ke Qiao: "Ke Qiao, don't try to provoke us anymore. If Chang Rihui and the others want to go back, just let them go!"
Ke Qiao shook off his father's hand, looked at his parents in shock, and revealed the truth that he himself did not want to believe.
"Mom and Dad, did you do this?"
...
Mrs. Ke and her husband remained silent for a moment.
Ke Qiao couldn't accept it and looked at Chang Rihui with pain on her face.
"Chang Rihui..."
Chang Rihui held her hand and nodded gently: "Keqiao, stop making a fuss. I take the main responsibility for what happened today. You should talk to your parents properly. I'm going home now!"
Don't get agitated, my dad really does hit people when he's angry!
Reflecting on what happened that day, Chang Rihui mourned for his buttocks.
Ke Qiao unconsciously let go of Chang Rihui's hand, and her tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Ke Qiao!" Madam Ke turned her attention from Chang Rihui, who had just left, to her rebellious daughter.
Ke Qiao snorted: "You actually hit someone? I will never forgive you until you apologize to Chang Rihui!"
Mrs. Ke is really furious with her rebellious daughter. Why is she always siding with outsiders?
"Ke Qiao, who gave you permission to talk to your mother like that!" Ke's father also stopped taking his daughter's side; she had gone too far this time.
Ke Qiao stubbornly shook his head: "Think what you want, I won't change my mind!"
After saying that, he picked up his backpack and walked out the door.
Seeing that she was about to run away from home again, Mrs. Ke was so angry that her heart ached, but she couldn't just ignore her, because she really dared to do it!
This time, Chang Rihui no longer provides her with accommodation; if she runs away again, she will only be able to go to unsafe places.
Mrs. Ke and her husband chased after him and called out to Ke Qiao, who was about to go down the stairs.
"Where are you going again? Are you crazy?!"
"Go home!" Ke Qiao said, walking down the street without looking back.
Mrs. Ke clutched her chest and breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Mr. Ke instinctively tried to follow.
She raised her hand to remind Mr. Ke, "Go back and lock the door properly..."
Ah, raising a daughter is so tiring!

When Chang Rihui returned home, he was miraculously not beaten. His father left him in the living room and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Zhou Hongyu was decocting medicine in the kitchen when she saw Chang Xingwang walk in, roll up his sleeves, and start washing the dishes. She couldn't help but slap her forehead.
"Oh dear, I was so busy doing chores that I forgot to wash the dishes!"
“It’s okay, it’s all the same to me!” Chang Xingwang replied.
Zhou Hongyu brought out the medicine, and Chang Rihui immediately got up from the sofa when he smelled the unique and domineering bitter smell of the Chinese medicine.
He called out anxiously, "Mom, who's sick!"
"Your maternal grandmother!" Zhou Hongyu didn't have time to say much to him. Traditional Chinese medicine works best when it's hot, as Zhou's grandmother had instructed.
Zhou Hongyu carried the medicine to Granny Zhou's bedroom on the first floor, and Chang Rihui followed without a second thought.
Chang Meiying was nestled in Granny Zhou's arms, trying to be cute and charming to make Granny Zhou happy. When she saw Chang Rihui walk in, she silently rolled her eyes.
Chang Rihui: That brat!
Zhou Hongyu handed over the medicine, and Granny Zhou downed it in one gulp.
Chang Meiying frowned as she watched, then glared at Chang Rihui and said fiercely, "Third Brother, I will never forgive you for what you've done!"
She was too young to understand, but from her family’s conversation, she knew that the fault lay with Chang Rihui. Because Chang Rihui was at fault, someone came to cause trouble today, and her grandmother got angry and hurt herself. It was all her third brother’s fault!
Chang Rihui bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, Grandma!"
Granny Zhou handed the bowl to Zhou Hongyu and looked at Chang Rihui: "Don't apologize to me, it's useless. Just promise me that you will cut off this relationship completely from now on!"
"grandmother!"
"Third Brother, my grandma isn't feeling well, so you're not allowed to speak loudly!"
Chang Rihui's shock was stopped by Chang Meiying's reprimand, and he frowned and refused Zhou Pozi's arrangement.
"Grandma, I won't do that. I will stay with Keqiao forever!"
After saying that, he turned and left the bedroom.
Granny Zhou felt uncomfortable again because of the child. She took Zhou Hongyu's hand and said, "Rihui listens to you very much. You must take care of him. I don't think this relationship can continue. You must persuade him!"
Zhou Hongyu nodded guiltily. This relationship wasn't something that could be broken off so easily. Even if I were her mother, I couldn't make that decision.
However, we should just nod in front of Granny Zhou, otherwise the old lady will be upset for a long time. Let's put the old lady at ease for now.
Zhou Hongyu told Chang Meiying not to bother her grandmother too much, and then left the bedroom with the medicine bowl in her hand.
Open the door.
He bumped into Chang Rihui, who was leaning against the wall at the door.
Chang Rihui took deep breaths repeatedly, looking extremely distressed: "Mom, I heard what you said to Grandma just now. You also think that our relationship shouldn't continue?"
He assumed that even if everyone else opposed their relationship, his mother should be the only one who supported it.
Just as his mother unhesitatingly encouraged Shuying to pursue a career at an inappropriate age, he should receive the same treatment.
Why not support it?
Chang Rihui felt extremely discouraged.
Zhou Hongyu opened her mouth but couldn't speak. What could she say? She had been against it from the very beginning!
But she realized that this relationship was not something that could be easily broken off.
Chang Rihui's eyes welled up with tears: "Mom, tell me the truth, what are you thinking?"
Zhou Hongyu: "I think at your age you should focus on your studies. Wait until you get into university, start working, and have a stable life before considering your relationships. You will be more rational then, instead of fighting and bickering like you are today, causing everyone a lot of trouble!"
Chang Rihui looked pained.
Yes, they are not rational enough and often act impulsively over trivial matters, but he doesn't want to give up on this relationship.
Zhou Hongyu advised him: "I don't need to worry about your grades, but Keqiao is different. You can't let her be distracted at this time. Let me ask you, if you had a daughter, would you be willing to let her do this?"
"Of course not!"
When Chang Rihui thought about how his daughter and Keqiao would encounter such a thing in the future, he felt an urge to tear that man to pieces!
Chang Rihui made a decision immediately. He clenched his fist and hardened his heart: "Mom, I won't do anything to distract Keqiao before the college entrance examination is over!"
Zhou Hongyu nodded, unsure how much he was actually taking in, but as long as he realized that he couldn't jeopardize Keqiao's future, that was enough.
