Shi Qing immediately understood that if he wanted a better life in the future, he had to endure it for now.
After a while, Hero found the Shi family.
Hero came to see Tang Yaoyao, only to find Tang Yaoyao and Shi Qianqian sitting intimately together.
He was momentarily surprised.
Qiao Shan caught a glimpse of someone standing outside. Judging from their appearance, she guessed it wasn't Bai, but wasn't sure: "Who is this...?"
Tang Yaoyao saw Hero at the door and happily called out, "Brother, you're here."
Hero nodded to her: "I came to find you."
His simplest purpose was to find Tang Yaoyao.
Upon seeing Hero, Shi Qianqian immediately stood up, awkwardly wiping her hands, and said, "Brother."
Hero did not respond to her.
"Is this Fei Bai? He's so handsome." Qiao Shan was envious. How wonderful it would be if Fei Bai were her child. "Come in quickly. I'm your aunt. It's been more than ten years since I last saw you. My Fei Bai is a very handsome man. Whoever marries Fei Bai will be truly blessed."
"No need, I'll come pick up my sister." Hero said indifferently, not wanting to go inside.
He was repulsed by everything here.
I don't really like it.
Tang Yaoyao walked over and took Hero's hand: "Brother, Qianqian has suffered a lot of grievances at this house. Look, this little chubby boy is all plump and healthy, while our Qianqian is pitifully thin. Your uncle and aunt are even thinking of letting you take care of them in their old age. Seeing how poorly Qianqian is being raised, don't you feel sorry for her?"
Hero glanced sideways at Tang Yaoyao, not understanding what she was talking about.
How could he possibly care about anyone other than her?
Tang Yaoyao scratched his palm with her little finger.
Hero received the message: "Hmm."
Qiao Shan panicked, and Shi Qian was at a loss.
"Fei Bai, don't listen to other people's nonsense. Qianqian has been well taken care of by us and we have never mistreated her," Shi Qian denied.
Hero wasn't concerned, but Tang Yaoyao spoke up for him, saying, "Are we blind? Qianqian told us what her life was like in the Shi family—it was terrible except for not starving to death!"
Seeing Tang Yaoyao stand up for her, Shi Qianqian was about to cry again.
I was deeply moved.
Over the years, no one has ever said a word in her defense.
Tang Yaoyao added, "My brother is going to take Shi Qianqian away to study in the city, so you won't need to take care of her anymore."
Hero stared at Tang Yaoyao in astonishment once again.
Rather than letting Shi Qianqian stay in this house, constantly being brainwashed, doubting herself and life, it would be better for her to receive a good education.
This child's world has turned completely dark; he might end up like them someday.
She didn't want that to happen.
Another point is that she is Hero's sister, and Hero is inherently very emotionally detached.
Being cold-blooded towards his sister, with whom he shares blood ties, will only exacerbate his indifference in this area.
Qiao Shan could tell that she had no problem with where Shi Qianqian went to school, but her biggest problem was how much living expenses Hero would give them: "You can take her away, but we've put in a lot of effort to raise Qianqian to this age, so we should talk about money first."
Hero took a card out of his pocket and placed it on the table: "Here is five hundred thousand, for child support."
Shi Qianqian was surprised; it sounded different coming from Hero's mouth.
Does this mean he's acknowledged her?
Tang Yaoyao didn't expect that he was prepared all along.
But how could the greedy Qiao Shan be satisfied? She didn't even want the 500,000.
Five hundred thousand is a lot for them, but they can't afford to buy a house.
I want more.
A house in the city costs millions, and they only have 500,000. It's too much of a loss. Qiao Shan wouldn't stand for it: "500,000, Fei Bai, is 500,000 all you want to raise Shi Qianqian until she's seventeen? We all know you're rich. You should at least give us a house and a few million for living expenses. This is the sister we raised for you."
Hero said calmly and seriously, "I've inquired and found out that Shi Qianqian didn't spend much money in your family. She even did housework for you. Based on the market price per hour, plus how much you spent on her, and the labor fee, I've calculated it all. This price is very reasonable."
"Are you trying to distance yourself from us?" Qiao Shan asked.
Hero did not deny it: "It's good that you know. My surname is Fu. After I've dealt with Shi Qianqian's matter, it has nothing to do with you anymore."
This infuriated Qiao Shan, who grabbed Shi Qian and said, "Look at this! This is your good nephew! He's so heartless, he doesn't even acknowledge us. We even raised a sister for him for nothing! What did we do to deserve such an ungrateful pair of nephews!"
Hero didn't bother arguing with them, and said coldly, "I've done my part. Take it or leave it."
Fu Xiuchen said to Shi Qianqian expressionlessly, "What are you waiting for? Pack your bags and let's go."
Shi Qianqian was stunned, unable to understand: "Big brother, am I dreaming? Does this mean I can leave my uncle's house? I don't have to come back?"
Fu Xiuchen: "Yes, your sister Yaoyao has the final say."
Shi Qianqian was very happy. She didn't have to go to the Fu family. As long as she could go to school, she could earn money and get away from her aunt's control. That would be even better.
She excitedly hugged Tang Yaoyao's waist: "Sister Yaoyao, you don't hate me anymore, you're so kind, I love you!"
