Chapter 400 - 409: They’re Back
"Qin Guohua, you worthless coward," Hu Li pointed at Qin Guohua’s nose and cursed loudly, "I must have been blind to marry you, letting the two whelps you fathered mess things up so badly they landed us all in police detention. My Pengfei is destined for greatness, and my Xiang Mei is a student at Jing University. You tell me, if people find out about this, how can I ever show my face again? How can our children hold their heads up?"
Qin Guohua wiped his face, "Well, it’s not like anyone knows, right?"
Qin Pengfei, after being locked up for a few days, was truly frightened and now he sat there, curled up, not daring to say a word. As for Qin Xiangmei, she’d always had a stern face; she didn’t get to attend school, but ended up staying in detention, unable to eat well or sleep well, her clothes unchanged for days. How could this not infuriate her? She was so angry she felt like she could kill someone, and to make matters worse, when she got back, her luggage was carelessly thrown into the dog pot. She didn’t even want to think about whether it had been peed on by a dog. Just the thought made her seethe with rage, to the point of murderous intent.
Qin Guohua was spluttered with spit as he was being cursed, but he couldn’t talk back. He remembered the vow he had made to himself and would remember it for a lifetime. He had said, if he ever went to look for these two kids, he’d be the lowest of the low, a spineless turtle with no hole to lay eggs from; after his death, no one would see him off. Rural people take vows seriously, and once made, how could he not keep his word?
Hu Li had heard about Qin Xiangnuan buying a Siheyuan in Capital City and she couldn’t believe it. Nowadays, just buying an ordinary house costs a fortune, not to mention a Siheyuan in Imperial Palace. Hu Li didn’t believe it and insisted on getting the old Siheyuan into her own hands at all costs.
Now the three of them each had their own schemes, and the result? They ended up with nothing but embarrassment and resentment.
Qin Guohua was afraid of Hu Li, didn’t dare to talk back to her, but he was also filled with rage, looking for someone to vent on.
"Qin Xiangyang, you’re worse than a pig or a dog, even locking up your own mother!" Qin Guohua glared at Qin Xiangyang, thunder in his voice. Yet, on Hu Li’s face was a look of schadenfreude; they couldn’t handle it, but his father was there.
