At Commander Sun's house, Qin Zhongming and Han Xinrui were displaying their affection for each other as grandfather and granddaughter.
At the Qin family home, Qin Yue looked at the empty house and asked again, "Auntie, will Uncle Qin come back today? Is he always this busy during the New Year?"
The aunt glanced at Qin Yue and gently comforted her, "Xiao Yue, Mr. Qin has already taken good care of you by bringing you from the village! He covers your tuition and living expenses. After all, you are not his child, and you can't expect him to spend money on you and also spend time with you."
Qin Yue was very unhappy this year!
She thought Qin Zhongming would come back for the New Year, and she waited for him every day.
She was well aware of Qin Zhongming's current status, and she needed to please him.
Only by having a good relationship with Qin Zhongming can she have a bright future and marry someone better.
To outsiders, she was Qin Zhongming's adopted daughter, but the number of times she saw Qin Zhongming throughout the year could be counted on one hand.
Previously, she had never seen Qin Zhongming protecting Han Xinrui, and she assumed that it was because Uncle Qin didn't like children that he was so cold to her.
But during military training, he saw Han Xinrui being wronged and publicly protected her.
At that moment, she was not only jealous, but also furious!
Why should I?!
She's been by Uncle Qin's side for so many years, how come she's not as good as Han Xinrui, whom she just recognized?
"Did he spend the New Year with Han Xinrui?" Qin Yue asked in a low voice.
The aunt shook her head: "I don't know!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yue abruptly threw down her chopsticks and got up to leave.
Behind her, the aunt said slowly, "Xiaoyue, you also have parents and family! If you want your family to be with you, you can go back to the village to visit!"
The auntie had already been very tactful in her words.
Actually, your husband has no obligation to take care of you, yet you expect him to spend time with you.
If Qin Yue hadn't been forcibly adopted by the Qin family and given to Qin Zhongming, she would already be married and have several children by now.
But that's human nature; we don't cherish what we have, and we want more.
She ignored the aunt and turned to go upstairs without looking back.
The aunt glanced at the food on the table, sighed helplessly, and began clearing away the untouched dishes.
After Qin Yue went upstairs, she made a phone call.
Once the call connected, she said into the phone, "Yang Qiqi, I can help you get back to school! But you have to do some things for me."
I don't know what was said on the phone, but Qin Yue responded indifferently, "Okay! As long as you help me solve my problem, I'll ask Uncle Qin for help! You should know that my surname is Qin, and Han Xinrui is just an outsider who has no relation to Uncle Qin!"
After a long conversation on the other end of the phone, Qin Yue said coldly, "I'll find a way for you then! Since you don't want to stay in the country anymore, just go abroad."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Yue looked out the window, her eyes filled with resentment and anger.
Over the years, Qin Zhongming had never let Qin Yue suffer, but she was still not satisfied and unwilling to accept it.
She presented herself as a favored person in front of outsiders, and even hinted to everyone that Uncle Qin was raising her as his own daughter.
She had thought that her life would get better and better after Qin Zhongming became a leader.
Who knew that Han Xinrui would suddenly appear and steal everything from her?
Qin Yue is a smart person; she won't take matters into her own hands. Nor will she directly oppose Han Xinrui; she will use others instead.
She knew that unless she did it herself, there was no way she could be implicated.
As for the promise given to Yang Qiqi, that's a story for another time.
She thought about it for a while, but was still worried, so she dialed another number.
The call took a long time to connect.
After the call connected, she said into the phone, "Mom, Uncle Qin wanted to bring my younger brother to Beijing earlier this year. But..."
