"No...don't call the police!" Long Huanhuan immediately looked pitiful, her face covered in tears, as she looked at Long Yanli.
“Yeah, it’s such a small thing.” Third Master Long felt a little embarrassed.
“Our Huanhuan didn’t do it on purpose. Besides, didn’t she step on Huanhuan’s foot?” Madam Long immediately stood up to defend her, glaring fiercely at Qin Zhiluo.
"Oh, really? Do you have any evidence that I stepped on it?" Qin Zhiluo put the unfinished fish soup on the table, leaned back, and looked up at them with a smile.
"Still trying to deny it? We saw it all," Madam Long frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure on her face.
Qin Zhilu tossed the earring in her hand and smiled, "You said I tripped her, and now you're saying I stepped on her. After that whole show, who would believe you?"
Long Yanli silently curled the corners of his mouth.
Madam Long's face froze, and she immediately glared at her, "You shameless hussy, you've been using all your tricks on us."
Long Yanli slammed her hand on the table, startling everyone who looked at her with icy expressions. "Who are you cursing?"
Grandma Long sipped her fish soup expressionlessly, her cold eyes sweeping over them. "Sit down now that you're done arguing. How old are you to bully a young girl? Long San's family's monthly allowance will be halved."
"If she's not my mother, why should I..." Madam Long was about to say something when Master Long pulled her down.
“It was Huanhuan’s fault. Quickly apologize to your sister-in-law,” Third Master Long said with a forced smile.
Long Huanhuan's face was extremely pale, her lips were pressed tightly into a line, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, her nails digging deeply into her palms.
"Apologize," Master Long's voice was deep and authoritative, like a thunderclap that echoed in the reception room.
Long Huanhuan shuddered, a hint of resentment flashing across her face. She first glanced at Qin Zhiluo, her eyes full of unwillingness, "I guess I'm just unlucky, sister-in-law, I'm sorry, okay?"
Qin Zhiluo was busy serving fish soup to the old lady when she glanced at her casually. "I don't accept it."
"Damn it, you motherfucker..." Long Huanhuan was slapped by Third Master Long before she could finish speaking.
Madam Long immediately stood up to protect her daughter, saying, "What are you doing, hitting your own daughter for the sake of outsiders?"
Qin Zhilu ignored them and focused on drinking the fish soup. It smelled so good.
After the family banquet, guests usually stay at the main house.
Long Yanli led Qin Zhiluo to a large villa, which was filled with pear trees. It was very beautiful.
"Brother, is this where you lived when you were little?" Qin Zhiluo looked around curiously.
“Mm,” Long Yanli said, taking her hand and leading her to the small pavilion. “We’ll go back tomorrow.”
"Okay, I didn't pay them any attention," Qin Zhiluo smiled. "They don't recognize me?"
“The Qin family banquets have always only invited the main branches of various aristocratic families; they are not qualified.” Long Yanli patted the little girl’s head.
"Big brother, Grandma asked me to deliver something," Long Yunze called out from outside.
"Come in"
"Grandma said that my sister-in-law has been wronged. This is the key to the Long family's treasure vault. I'm giving it to my sister-in-law. You can take whatever you want from inside," Long Yunze said casually, raising an eyebrow.
Qin Zhiluo did not take it, but turned to look at Long Yanli, saying, "It's too precious."
“It’s yours now that I’m giving it to you,” Long Yanli said without any hesitation, taking the gift for the girl and smiling. “I’ll keep it for you for now.”
"Okay, please thank Grandma for me," Qin Zhiluo said, not caring about the Long family's treasure trove.
Long Yunze returned after delivering the message.
