Qin Xiangnan walked to his mother and took her hand: "Come with me! We won't be coming back!"
When Mother Qin heard this, she suddenly looked up and shouted, "Why are you leaving? Where are you going? I'm not leaving. I'm not going anywhere!"
She shook off Qin Xiangnan's hand, walked to the side and started picking vegetables, still muttering:
"What can I do by following you? You're just a girl and will get married in the future! It's more reliable for me to follow your brother!"
The man sat in front of the stove, his face flushed from roasting food, and looked at Qin Xiangnan smugly:
"Okay, if you have nothing else to do, just go! We all know you're doing well, so there's no need to show off. Everyone should just live a good life!"
Whenever this happened, Qin Xiangnan felt powerless. She never understood why her mother had to stay like this even though life was already so difficult.
This man is a domestic abuser, has affairs everywhere, does nothing, and acts bossy all day long. She has mentioned taking her away before, but every time she does, she gets upset and says things like girls are unreliable!
Taking out the card from his pocket and placing it next to Qin's mother, Qin Xiangnan said calmly:
"The password is my birthday. There's not much money in it, but it's enough for you to last for a while!"
The man behind him brightened up, stood up, walked over, and picked up the card: "I said it had to be a daughter!"
Qin Xiangnan looked at him coldly, and the man instantly became obedient. He smiled shamelessly and nodded hurriedly:
"Don't worry! Don't worry! Now that I have the money, I won't make things difficult for your mother!"
As he said this, he reached out and grabbed Qin's mother: "Don't wash, let's go out to eat. It's New Year's Day, let's go!"
But Qin's mother took the card out of the man's hand and said, "I won't go out. I'll eat at home!"
The man opened his mouth to curse, but then he remembered Qin Xiangnan was still beside him. He suppressed his anger and warned in a low voice: "Don't refuse my kindness! I said we should go out to eat, so let's go out to eat!"
Mother Qin didn't say anything, but she didn't stop washing the vegetables.
"This card is something I left for her. It has nothing to do with you! She can spend it however she wants!" Qin Xiangnan's warning voice sounded behind the two of them.
The man turned around and smiled brightly. Now he looked at Qin Xiangnan as if he was looking at the God of Wealth.
Pointing at the woman outside, Qin Xiangnan said coldly: "I don't want to see this happen again, otherwise I will cut off the supply of money!"
Hearing this, the man nodded happily: "Don't worry, leave this little thing to me!"
Qin Xiangnan didn't say anything else. He glanced at his mother's back and turned away.
It was not until the gate was closed that Qin's mother turned around and looked out through the window.
"Alright, stop looking. Everyone's gone. You're just hanging around like a deadbeat every day. Qin Xiangnan's a cash cow, why are you acting so arrogantly instead of just clinging to him?"
The man glared at Qin's mother, then walked over to the stove and sat down to fiddle with his pipe.
Mother Qin didn't say anything. She put the card in her pocket, wiped her eyes and lowered her head to cook.
"Don't think about keeping the money for yourself. Everyone who sees it gets a share!" The man said lightly, sucking on his pipe.
Walking out of the alley, Qin Xiangnan rubbed his brows. The sky gradually darkened and there were no people on the street. Sporadic firecrackers rang out, leaving a fleeting beauty in the sky.
Wandering around aimlessly, Qin Xiangnan felt a little confused. Was there still a place for her in a place like Hai City?
Didi!
There was a horn sound beside him. Qin Xiangnan turned his head and looked over. The car window was lowered, revealing Shi Tinghan's face in the back seat.
"Why aren't you going home today on New Year's Eve?" he asked, unlocking the car.
Qin Xiangnan turned around and continued walking: "What about you? Why don't you go home?"
Shi Tinghan smiled helplessly and drove slowly beside her: "I just got off work! Get in the car! I'll take you there!"
"Thank you for your help. I'm just going for a walk. You don't have to send me off!" Qin Xiangnan directly rejected her. He didn't know why she didn't want to accept his kindness.
Hearing no more sound, Qin Xiangnan thought Shi Tinghan had left and breathed a sigh of relief!
"Then I'll walk with you!" The next second, the sound of a car door closing came from behind, and Shi Tinghan's words also floated into Qin Xiangnan's ears.
Qin Xiangnan stopped walking, exhaled, and turned around helplessly: "Mr. Shi! What do you want to do? I don't think we are that familiar!"
"What if I say I don't know either?" Shi Tinghan walked slowly towards Qin Xiangnan, smiling helplessly.
Qin Xiangnan frowned, turned around and continued walking forward: "Mr. Shi, I really don't think there is anything to talk about between us. I just want to walk around by myself. Can't you go back early to have the New Year's Eve dinner?"
Shi Tinghan was about to speak when he saw another car parked on the side of the road.
"Why are you still wandering around? Your family is waiting for you to have New Year's Eve dinner!" The car window rolled down, and this time it was Zhu Lingling!
