Unexpectedly, Qi Mingyuan flew into a rage after hearing this:
"Where is Qi Guangyao?! He did such a shameful thing, and he still has the nerve to say that he is the only hope of the Qi family?!"
"How do you usually discipline him?! This is the good son you've raised. I think like mother, like son!"
Qu Jingyun's heart trembled at the shouting, tears welled up in her eyes, and she prostrated herself at Qi Mingyuan's feet and cried:
"Guangyao already knows he was wrong. Mingyuan, you know Guangyao has never done anything unruly since he was a child. This time, he was really deceived by the bad guys and believed their lies. He did the wrong thing because he wanted to stand up for us and make us happy so much that he fell for the bad guys' trick!"
"Mingyuan, think of a way, find some connections in the province, and don't let Guangyao get expelled from school! If he can't go to university this year, we can repeat it next year. We've already studied for so many years, we can't let it go to waste! If this gets out, it will be a disgrace to our Qi family... wuwu..."
When Qi Mingyuan heard Qu Jingyun still defending Qi Guangyao in her words, he became even more furious and pointed at her nose and cursed:
"It's because you spoil him so much and have no principles at all that he dares to do such a bold thing now!"
"Even now, he still only knows how to blame others for his mistakes. Even if he caused such a big disaster today, with a mother like you, he still won't learn any lessons!"
"You've taught him for over a decade and you've turned him into what he is now. Since you can't teach him well, you don't need to teach him anymore! I'll take care of my son. If he makes a mistake, he must be punished accordingly so he learns his lesson!"
From what Qi Mingyuan said, it seemed that he would not help Qi Guangyao solve this problem, but was determined to teach him a lesson. Qu Jingyun panicked:
"No! Mingyuan, he made a mistake. You can beat him or scold him, but you can't let him be expelled from school!"
"Once he's expelled from school, he won't even have a diploma in his life. What future can he have?!"
"Mingyuan, I know you're angry. If you're angry, come to me, hit me or scold me, but you can't ignore the child!"
Qu Jingyun burst into tears and pulled Qi Mingyuan's hand to slap her face. Qi Mingyuan was so angry that he pushed her away:
"Don't act like a spoiled brat in front of me. Get out of the study right now. I don't want to see you again!"
Qi Mingyuan, with a furious look on his face, took two big strides to the door of the study, opened it, and shouted loudly:
"Get out of here right now!"
Qi Guangyao, who was hiding at the stairs and eavesdropping, was so frightened that he trembled all over and immediately retracted his head, fearing that he would be seen by his father.
Seeing that Qi Mingyuan was so angry that veins bulged on his forehead and his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, Qu Jingyun didn't dare to provoke him again. She could only get up from the ground in a mess, covering her face and walking out crying.
As soon as she walked out, she heard Qi Mingyuan slam the study door shut behind her and lock it with a "click". She immediately clenched her teeth and raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face.
I thought that no matter what, Qi Mingyuan would take action to resolve this matter because Qi Guangyao was his son. I didn't expect Qi Mingyuan to not only not think of a solution, but also said that he wanted Qi Guangyao to be punished?!
Qu Jingyun was so angry that she almost gnashed her teeth. How many troubles had Qi Shengzhi gotten into since he was little? Was it always Qi Mingyuan who followed him around and cleaned up his mess?!
Why did Qi Mingyuan treat her son so harshly just because he got into trouble this time? Wasn't Qi Guangyao his biological son?!
The resentment and humiliation in Qu Jingyun's heart ignited a burning fire of anger. If Qi Mingyuan refused to save Qi Guangyao, then her last hope in this life would be shattered.
Qu Jingyun clenched her fists, her long, sharp nails digging into her flesh unconsciously, but she seemed to feel no pain. She secretly made up her mind—
Since you won't let her have an easy life, then no one else can have an easy life!
Even if they die together, she will let those people she hate be buried with her!
After nightfall, everything is quiet.
Only the wall clock was still making a faint ticking sound.
At the entrance of the stairs leading to the first floor, a dark shadow slowly appeared. His footsteps were so light that there was no sound at all, and he moved quietly in the corridor like a gust of cold wind.
The dim moonlight shone into the kitchen through the window lattice. The dark figure walked in silently, groped in the dark, found a thermos on the far left of the wall, opened the glass bottle in his hand, quickly dripped a drop of unknown liquid into it, and then turned around quietly and merged into the darkness.
......
It was just dawn.
Yue Feiying felt someone pinching her hand tightly and woke up from her sleep.
These days, she has become accustomed to Qi Shengzhi secretly reaching out his hand to hold her hand every night to help her fall asleep. She has also changed from secretly expecting something to happen next to being calm and accustomed to it.
She turned her head and saw that Qi Shengzhi's handsome face was frowned and tense, as if he was having a nightmare.
Yue Feiying turned sideways, stretched out a finger and gently touched his brow, trying to help him relax his brow.
Unexpectedly, the next second Qi Shengzhi suddenly opened his eyes, with a look of fear in his eyes that she had never seen before.
"you......"
Before Yue Feiying could finish her words, she was suddenly embraced tightly by a pair of long arms.
She pressed her whole body tightly against Qi Shengzhi's chest and could clearly feel his heart beating violently.
With the experience of previous failures, Yue Feiying has learned his lesson this time.
Although this sudden hug made her heart beat faster, she still asked calmly:
"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
Qi Shengzhi rested his chin on her forehead, rubbing it restlessly like a kitten, and then he whispered:
"Um... Yingying, I just had a nightmare."
The sound of his voice, which woke him up from his dream, was lazy and magnetic, with a hint of low and hoarse sexiness. It followed the heat of his words into Yue Feiying's ears, causing her to feel itchy, and she rubbed it unconsciously.
She only heard a muffled groan from Qi Shengzhi's throat, and his arms tightened around her, making it difficult for Yue Feiying to breathe. She could only reach out and pat him on the back:
"Relax a little, I can't breathe."
Upon hearing this, Qi Shengzhi obediently relaxed a little, but only "a little", which at least allowed Yue Feiying to breathe smoothly.
Yue Feiying couldn't help but feel curious:
"What nightmare did you have?"
For someone like Qi Shengzhi, who is fearless, I wonder what kind of nightmare could scare him so much that he wakes up with eyes full of fear.
There was a moment of silence above his head. Just when Yue Feiying thought he had fallen asleep again, Qi Shengzhi's voice came slowly:
“…I dreamed that I became an orphan.”
