After comforting Qin Wan, Qin's father received a call from his company and left in a hurry.
After her father left, Qin Wan sat in the room for a long time.
She sat in front of the dressing table, touching her chest, looking at her delicate face in the mirror, a slight look of daze appearing in her eyes.
"The original owner's consciousness... is still there?"
[It's gone. That was the original owner's obsession, something she left for you, host. She hopes you'll persevere a little longer.]
Qin Wan: "..."
This girl is a bit silly.
She could only get over it when someone forced her to take drastic measures.
"Fine, since this is her last wish, then I'll... consider it." Qin Wan said coldly and ruthlessly.
[...] The host is still the same host, devoid of any compassion.
"That's not how you use compassion," Qin Wan reminded the naive system.
"She's foolish, she's obsessed. Even if I agree to her request, she still won't be able to let go. In her past life, before I came along, didn't she still stick to her own ideas to the very end? And what was the result?"
"It's the Qin family falling apart."
"Having been hurt once already, it would be foolish to still cling to the past."
"Besides, what if Jiang Huan becomes so captivated by my charm that he refuses to break off the engagement after I agree to her request?"
"I'm not interested in that kind of trash."
Thinking of this, Qin Wan thought of Lu Yao downstairs, and her eyebrows instantly curved into a smile, and the corners of her lips turned up.
"Besides, my younger brother is waiting for me."
"I can't let a scumbag ruin my lifelong happiness!"
[...] is somewhat ruthless.
-
Second floor stairwell.
Qin Luo was glaring at Lu Yao arrogantly, blocking the stairwell and preventing Lu Yao from entering the second-floor area.
"This is the Qin family home. What right do you, a man surnamed Lu, have to live in our house?"
"Lu Yao, I'm warning you, if you know what's good for you, you'd better grab your luggage and get out of here!"
At the corner of the stairs, Qin Wan leaned lazily against the handrail, watching expressionlessly as the foolish Qin Luo recklessly flirted with death.
really……
The next second...
"Qin Luo! You're asking for trouble, aren't you?"
"I barely left and you dare to bully Lu Yao? Just wait till I get back, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Qin's father's voice suddenly rang out, startling Qin Luo so much that he trembled all over. He looked around in terror, his gaze finally settling on the phone in Lu Yao's hand.
"Lu Yao, you!" Bastard!
Qin Luo's cursing stopped abruptly because Lu Yao raised his phone and pointed the screen at him.
At that moment, Qin Luo was stunned to see his father's angry face displayed on the phone screen.
One minute later...
Lu Yao disappeared at the end of the second-floor corridor. Qin Luo was so angry that his handsome face turned red, and he kicked the second-floor handrail frantically.
"A month's allowance." Qin Wan's cold and ruthless voice rang out.
Qin Luo's slender body suddenly stiffened, and his kicking leg abruptly stopped...
"Sister, let me explain..."
Qin Wan raised an eyebrow, staring at Qin Luo with a half-smile, "What do you want to hear your explanation for?"
"Explain why you failed to bully someone, and then, in a fit of anger, damaged the family's shared property?"
Qin Luo: "..." So annoying!
"Sis, you saw it yourself, that Lu Yao is no pushover. And why is he, an outsider, allowed to live in our house? Dad is so nice to him, it's obviously something fishy!" Qin Luo muttered unhappily.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan crossed her arms and coldly sized up Qin Luo. "What? Has she brainwashed you again? Suspecting that Lu Yao is my father's illegitimate son?"
Qin Luo: "..."
Under Qin Wan's ambiguous gaze, Qin Luo stomped her foot in anger and ran away without looking back.
Watching Qin Luo flee in panic, Qin Wan leisurely went downstairs and bumped into Dong Rou at the bottom of the stairs.
"Miss Wan..."
Upon seeing Qin Wan, a flicker of fear flashed in Dong Rou's eyes. She subconsciously took a step back, cautiously looking at Qin Wan with a fawning expression.
"If you don't want to ruin Qin Luo, don't try to instill your filthy thoughts in him." After coldly uttering these words, Qin Wan left without looking back.
Watching Qin Wan's departing figure, Dong Rou's eyes were filled with resentment.
Qin Luo is her son, how could she possibly harm him?
It's clearly Lu Yao's problem. What friend's child would make Qin Jiang treat him so well?
They made him stay at their house, and then scolded and reprimanded Xiao Luo because of him.
Xiao Luo is his own son. If Lu Yao is innocent, why would Qin Jiang punish his own son for the sake of an outsider?
The thought of Qin Jiang having other women outside made Dong Rou's face contort with anger.
The position of Madam Qin is hers!
Qinjiang can only belong to her!
No one can take Qin Jiang away from her!
Anyone!!
[Why didn't the host step in to help Lu Yao out of that predicament?] The system couldn't help but ask.
"..." Could she say she was so engrossed in watching the play that she forgot?
"The time is not right," Qin Wan said, feigning profundity.
The main reason is that this is the first time she has encountered a situation where Ling Jue is younger than her and has to call her "older sister".
Just thinking about it is...exciting? Thrilling?
As she thought about it, Qin Wan's brows relaxed, and she seemed to be in a very good mood.
Lunchtime.
Because company matters were not yet resolved and Qin's father could not return in time, only Qin Wan, Qin Luo and his mother, and Lu Yao remained for the meal.
At Qin's father's repeated instructions, the aunt prepared a lavish lunch, a welcome feast for Lu Yao.
Qin Luo was severely brainwashed by Dong Rou. Because of his father's absence and Qin Wan's usual indifference, Qin Luo became very arrogant and did not know how to restrain himself.
He was just reprimanded by Qin's father an hour ago, and now, so little time has passed, he's already causing trouble again...
Lu Yao picked up some ribs... Qin Luo immediately reached for them with his chopsticks.
Lu Yao picked up some greens, but Qin Luo kept grabbing them!
Lu Yao was serving soup when Qin Luo snatched the spoon from his hand.
Lu Yao silently put down his chopsticks, glanced at Qin Wan first, and seeing that she didn't react, Lu Yao lowered his eyes slightly...
The next second...
"Brother Qin Luo, did I do something wrong to upset you?"
As he spoke, Lu Yao raised his eyes, his fair face showing vulnerability, his red-rimmed eyes filled with grievance and stubbornness.
Seeing this, Qin Luo was stunned, while Dong Rou gritted her teeth in anger, cursing "bitch" in her heart!
Qin Wan paused in her eating, her gaze lingering on the ribs in her bowl for several seconds.
Is this...acting on?
Is my younger brother a talented actor?
Qin Wan continued eating without showing any emotion, feigning composure and indifference.
"Are you... are you out of your mind?"
Why are you crying for no reason?
"Aren't you ashamed that a grown man like you starts crying for no reason?"
Qin Luo was stunned by Lu Yao's reaction and was momentarily speechless.
"I didn't cry," Lu Yao stubbornly explained, but as soon as he finished speaking, the tears that had been welling up in his eyes burst forth...
A crystal-clear tear slid down the corner of his eye and flowed down his fair cheek. He looked so pitiful, it was heartbreaking to see.
Qin Luo: "..." I was terrified.
