Chapter 118: Use these three methods, and she'll turn the tables on you!
"So what if I forced you? I gave birth to you, fed you, clothed you, sent you to school, and raised you all these years, just so you would go and take care of someone else's mother in her old age?"
"Your father and I have scrimped and saved for so many years, putting all our money into finding you a wife. And what do you do? First you sided with your cousin, and now you're siding with someone else's mother. You even criticize me, saying I'm mean and heartless. Did I owe you something in my past life?"
He Fen's words pierced Wang Ye's heart, and he lowered his head, unable to speak.
He Fen was too lazy to talk to him, "Think about it yourself."
After saying that, she walked past Wang Ye, pushed open the door, and went back into the house.
Just then, Lily came out of the house, and the two met face to face. He Fen's attitude was no longer as friendly as before, and she kept scrutinizing Lily with a cold face.
She had been tolerant and forgiving of Lily before because she considered Lily's parents as equals, while Lily, being a college student, felt inferior and lacked confidence.
Things are different now. She knows Lily's family background and that Lily has no powerful backers, so she naturally becomes more assertive.
Lily could naturally sense the change in her attitude. It was that look in her eyes—contemptuous and disdainful—that she feared most in her life, one that could even wake her from nightmares.
Lily looked away, lowered her head, went to the bathroom, and locked herself inside.
She had been driven astray step by step by these strange looks before, and who would have thought that the nightmare would repeat itself?

Qiao Xing had been traveling for the past two days and was tired, so she took a shower and went to bed early.
Qin Ce went to the study again, but this time he didn't work; instead, he looked up things on the computer.
If Qiao Xing were here, he would see the large words on his computer screen—what the number of roses represents.
One rose represents uniqueness, three roses represent "I love you", eleven roses represent "forever", ninety-nine roses represent "forever", and 999 roses represent "you're a tycoon".
...What a load of nonsense.

He read through each item one by one, even more attentively than when he was in a meeting at work. Suddenly, his face darkened, and he slammed the notebook shut.
What am I doing?
Why does he have to chase after the old man when he tells him to? Why does he have to search online when he tells him to?
The main tactic is to be stubborn and refuse to admit that they've fallen for someone.
Otherwise, his initial decision to conceal his identity would only make him appear more naive and petty.
He stretched out his long, slender fingers and rubbed his temples, a wave of inexplicable boredom and fatigue washing over him.
Qin Ce leaned back in his chair, staring down at the notebook on the table.
After a while, he sat up again and opened his notebook.
Qiao Xing was lying in bed scrolling through videos. For some reason, the videos kept pushing various BL (Boys' Love) movies and novels to her, which are videos about male-male romance, as well as various borderline live streams.
She regretted that she had impulsively clicked on a BL novel that had been recommended to her a few days ago, and that it had kept being recommended such things ever since.
This live stream was between two men who didn't show their faces. They were holding hands and streaming with ambient lighting on. Their hands were particularly beautiful, just like Qin Ce's, with distinct knuckles, long and slender. Their voices were also pleasant, and their black and white shirts and exposed collarbones made them all the more alluring.
Qiao Xing stopped watching this live stream for a long time, and the more she watched, the more she couldn't help but imagine Qin Ce and Han Yan's faces...
Once she pressed their faces against the two people in the live stream, she couldn't stop. With a reference point, she vaguely had the same idea of shipping the two as the fans below.
"No! I can't let myself be led astray." Qiao Xing reluctantly left the live stream, shook his head, and banished the messy images.
Qiao Xing was just about to go to sleep when she suddenly heard someone ringing the doorbell.
She quickly grabbed her clothes, put them on, and ran out to open the door.
When the door opened, Wang Ye was standing there with a long face. It seemed to be raining outside, and Wang Ye was soaked to the bone with his hair still dripping wet.
"Cousin, why did you come all this way?" Qiao Xing quickly opened the door to let him in and took out men's shoes from the shoe cabinet.
Wang Ye sighed, changed his shoes, and walked in. "Cousin, why is life so hard?"
Seeing him soaked to the bone, Qiao Xing didn't have time to comfort him. She turned and ran into the house, saying, "Wait a minute, dry yourself off first."
It's already December, and the weather is so cold that you can easily catch a cold.
Qiao Xing took out a towel and handed it to Wang Ye. Wang Ye took the towel listlessly and dried his hair.
She went to the study and knocked on the door.
A moment later, Qin Ce came out and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Do you have any spare clothes? I'd like to lend them to my cousin so he can change. He's all soaked."
Qin Ce raised his chin. "There's one in the next room. Go find it in the closet yourself."
Qiao Xing nodded and went to the wardrobe next door. When she opened the wardrobe, wow, all the clothes were the same style, either black or white, not even loungewear.
She picked out a shirt and trousers, then pushed Wang Ye into the bathroom, saying, "Hurry up and change your clothes."
Wang Ye tried to speak up and complain several times, but he didn't get a chance before Qiao Xing pushed him into the bathroom.
He had no choice but to change his clothes before coming out.
Qin Ce was a bit taller than Wang Ye, and his clothes were a little loose on Wang Ye. The same clothes look different on different people.
When Qin Ce wears it, he looks like a business elite; when Wang Ye wears it, he looks like a good-for-nothing.
After he came out, Qiao Xing asked, "Cousin, what happened?"
“My mom…” Wang Ye sighed and sat on the sofa with a bitter expression. “Sigh, I just felt a little tired and thought I’d come here to have some peace and quiet.”
"Is it about Aunt Zhou?"
Wang Ye nodded. "I told my mom, and she almost disowned me."
He explained the general situation to Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing didn't know how to comfort him. Although her aunt was materialistic, from her perspective, what her aunt said was right.
When a person does something beyond their ability, they will inevitably encounter numerous obstacles, both external and internal, which can cause them great suffering.
Qiao Xing raised her hand and patted his shoulder, "So what do you plan to do?"
Wang Ye shook his head. "If I had known, I wouldn't have come here. Cousin, please give me some advice. What should I do?"
When he happily brought Zhou Lan over, he felt he had done something great and was even proud of it. However, he overlooked his own abilities, which has now put him in a dilemma.
Qiao Xing was also somewhat troubled, as she didn't know how to solve the problem.
"Have you discussed this with Lily?"
“I was the one who started this whole thing. She already had a problem with it, so how could I discuss it with her? Discuss sending the aunt back?”
"This..." Qiao Xing hesitated. She looked up and saw Qin Ce coming out, and hurriedly called out to him, "Qin Ce, what do you think we should do about this?"
