nQin Yiyi didn’t get up immediately.

n

nWith a focused expression, she finished the millet congee in front of her. She then stretched out her hand, and a snow-white handkerchief was handed over.

n

nShe raised her head in surprise and saw Shang Jiuying looking at her indifferently from the opposite chair.

n

nWasn’t that the handkerchief in his hand?

n

nShe didn’t expect that there would still be people who carried handkerchiefs at all times in this day and age…

n

nShe paused for a moment and reached out her hand towards the box of tissues on the side, not forgetting to explain to Shang Jiuying, “What a waste.”

n

nAlthough the handkerchief was plain white, it only had the word ‘Heng’ embroidered on one corner, but looking at the material, one could see the embroidery work.

n

nThis handkerchief was not something that an ordinary person could afford.

n

nShe just needed to wipe her mouth. It did not need to be so expensive.

n

n

n

nShang Jiuying’s brows furrowed slightly. Under the sunlight, his eyes actually had a faint glass color.

n

nAt this moment, the light in his eyes flickered as he stared fixedly at Qin Yiyi. “You can.”

n

nPausing for a moment, he added seriously, “You’re more valuable than a handkerchief.”

n

nHe didn’t want to hear her say that she was less valuable than a handkerchief!

n

nQin Yiyi was stunned by the light in his eyes. The next moment, she snapped back to her senses. There was already a handkerchief in her hand!

n

nShe then looked at Shang Jiuying across from her.

n

nShe could not help but look up at the roof —

n

nBeauty deceives people…

n

nThe noise outside the door grew louder and louder. The knocks had already become smashes on the door now.

n

nShang Jiuying frowned slightly. A stern look flashed across his eyes before he spoke in a gentle voice, “Shall I go and take a look?”

n

n“There’s no need. I’ll go.”

n

nShe had already remembered who this voice was from her memory just now.

n

nTo come over so aggressively, there must be something that did not satisfy the other party, right?

n

nCurling her lower lips, she nodded at Shang Jiuying and raised her foot to open the door.

n

nOutside the door.

n

nFang Jianwei’s face was filled with anger. “Damned girl, you dare not open the door for me? I’m your uncle. If you don’t come out now, I’ll settle the score with you!”

n

nAs he cursed, he raised his foot and kicked at the door.

n

nAt this moment, the door was opened from the inside.

n

nHis foot missed.

n

nUnder the inertia, his entire body fell to the floor.

n

nQin Yiyi dodged and quickly pulled Shang Jiuying behind her.

n

nAfterward…

n

nA ball rolled into the living room in front of the two of them.

n

n“Stupid girl, are you looking for death? Don’t you know how to help me?”

n

nFang Jianwei stood up in a sorry state and reached out to wipe his face. He hit his head and it was throbbing in pain.

n

nHe yelled at Qin Yiyi, “What did you do just now? Why didn’t you open the door for me?”

n

nQin Yiyi responded with an ‘oh’ and lightly glanced at the other party.

n

n“Why are you here so early? What’s the matter?”

n

n“What are you talking about? I’m your uncle. Can’t I come over to see you?”

n

nFang Jianwei looked at Qin Yiyi, who was standing there with her back straight, and a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes.

n

nWhy was this stinky girl different from before?

n

nThinking back to the past, when had she not been so scared that her little face turned pale and her whole body trembled so much that she wished she could curl up into a ball?

n

nShe was never as calm as today…

n

nHowever, Fang Jianwei did not think too much about it. He only felt that this niece probably thought that she had returned to the Qin family and had someone to back her up so there was no need to be afraid of this uncle of hers, right?

n

nHis expression was unsightly as he exclaimed a few times. In the end, he realized that Qin Yiyi didn’t even give him a second glance, not to mention taking the initiative to bring him to the hospital.

n

nHe couldn’t help but fly into a rage. “Qin Yiyi, what kind of attitude is this? Why are you still standing there like a wooden stick? Hurry up and call the driver to send me to the hospital.” After pausing for a moment, he laughed coldly and continued boldly, “Let me tell you, my injury was caused by you. You have to be responsible for it until the end.”

n

n“Yiyi, let’s go. I’ll send you to school.”

n

nQin Yiyi looked at the time and nodded. “Okay.”

n

nShe casually picked up her school bag and looked at Fang Jianwei, who was sitting on the chair at the side without moving. Her eyes were indifferent.

n

n“Uncle, come downstairs with me. The driver is waiting downstairs. I’ll let him send you to the hospital.”

n

n“That’s more like it.”

n

nFang Jianwei nodded. He only reacted when he got up. There was a man in Qin Yiyi’s family!

n

nHis eyes widened. “Well, Qin Yiyi, how old are you? Our Qin and Fang families have both lost face because of you. Why can’t you learn from Jiatong? Look at you, and then look at Jiatong. I really don’t know how Jiatong has a sister like you… Sigh, you…”

n

nFang Jianwei wanted to make things difficult for Shang Jiuying.

n

nBut when he raised his head, it was just a glance.

n

nThe man opposite him was clearly standing there without saying anything, but the cold aura that he exuded made it difficult for him to breathe.

n

nIt was as if someone was strangling his neck.

n

nSuffocation!

n

nIt was as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

n

nIt was rare for Fang Jianwei to be stuck. For a moment, he actually didn’t dare to say anything and obediently got up to follow Qin Yiyi out!

n

nIt wasn’t until the wind blew outside that he shivered and snapped back to his senses.

n

nHe glared and wanted to yell again.

n

nHowever, his gaze met with Shang Jiuying’s deep and cold gaze.

n

nFang Jianwei, who was frightened again, could only change his target. “Stupid girl, didn’t you say that the driver is downstairs? Why isn’t he here yet?”

n

n“Uncle, wait a moment, I’ll ask.”

n

nQin Yiyi sent a message, her eyes and eyebrows a little curved. She looked up with a serious expression.

n

n“He will be here in five minutes. Uncle, wait here for a moment. I’ll go to school first. If there’s anything, you can tell the driver. I’ll go to the hospital to see you after school.”

n

n“Ah, okay, okay. You should hurry up and leave. Study hard and don’t be late.”

n

nIt was good that this stupid girl had left.

n

nWhen the time came, he could ask the doctor to let him go somewhere else to have some fun.

n

nThe debt would definitely be pinned on this wretched girl!

n

nShang Jiuying drove the car personally.

n

nOnly when the car drove far away did he calmly ask, “Will the driver really come later?”

n

n“No.”

n

nPausing for a moment, Qin Yiyi added, “I just told the driver that I’m taking leave today and not going to school. I’ll let him arrange it himself.”

n

nShang Jiuying, “…”

n

nHe personally sent her to the school gate.

n

nShang Jiuying recalled the scene he saw when he passed by the primary school and suddenly called out to Qin Yiyi, “When you were young, who sent you to school?”

n

n‘When I was young?’

n

nQin Yiyi thought about it and tilted her head with a smile. “Since the first grade, no one has ever sent me.”

n

nWhen she was young, her grandmother’s health was not good.

n

nHer grandfather had to take care of her grandmother and also of the family. Occasionally, he had other things to do.

n

nHow could he have time to personally send her to school?

n

nIn the beginning, she also envied those children who had parents to send them.

n

nWatching them carrying their schoolbags and coming to school under the escort of their parents, she had asked Grandpa and Grandma why she couldn’t live with her parents.

n

nGrandma always told her in a strange tone that her mom and dad were busy making money to support the family and to help with her tuition fees until she became sensible and grew up.

n

n

n

nThen, she used her own death to learn a lesson.

n

nHer parents didn’t like her at all, nor did they want to see her as their daughter!

n

nWhen she came back to her senses, she saw a flash of pity and sympathy in Shang Jiuying’s eyes.

n

nQin Yiyi suddenly laughed.

n

n“I don’t need anyone to send me.”

n

nThere was no need for others to sympathize!

n

nShang Jiuying looked at the smile in her eyes and raised his hand to caress her hair.

n

nTaking advantage of Qin Yiyi’s confusion, he reached out to help her carry her bag.

n

nHis tone was soft and gentle as he said, “In the future, Big Brother will send you off.”
