Chapter 453 - 387 Part 2
"I’m not talking nonsense. Just shut your mouth, or you won’t like what comes next," Chang Ying said with finality. "After all, you took so much of my hard-earned money, I’m not going to go easy on you."
After she finished speaking, she went straight back to the house.
Sun Feng was left behind with a particularly ugly expression on her face.
Even though she was just furious, she had indeed felt threatened.
She didn’t dare risk her son’s life... nor the Li Family’s.
It had taken her a lot of effort to marry Li Shi, and she didn’t want any complications as she didn’t want a divorce.
Forget it, just drop it.
Originally, she had stopped Qin Ye intending to badmouth Rong Yan.
Did she even think Qin Ye would believe her?
Meanwhile, Qin Ye went out to buy groceries and then returned home.
Rong Yan saw him return, then her gaze landed on the net bag.
"What did you buy? Why so much?"
"I didn’t buy vegetables or fruits since we already have those at home. I bought some fish and meat."
The other stuff would be taken out by his wife, so there was no need to buy that.
Rong Yan’s lips twitched; though Qin Ye hadn’t bought vegetables or fruits, the bag was packed full—it seemed he bought a lot of meat.
Madam Rong came out, "Oh, that’s too much, let me put the meat in the freezer."
Otherwise, we couldn’t finish it.
"Sure, Mom." Qin Ye parked his bike and then carried the net bag to the kitchen.
The fish had just died. He had asked the vendor to kill them; he bought only two.
After preparing the fish, Qin Ye washed them...

"Yo, you must be excited about coming home, right?" Qin Zhen came to pick up Qin Yu.
It was time.
With the start of the school year approaching quickly, he had to return.
After these days of training, Qin Yu’s skin had darkened several shades. Hearing his cousin’s question, he responded immediately,
"Of course I’m excited, I haven’t been home for a long time."
He was particularly curious about how his sister-in-law and younger sister would react when they saw him—they would be shocked.
He had not only darkened but also grown quite a bit taller.
The change in him was very significant.
"Let’s go then! I’ll take you home now." Qin Zhen grabbed his luggage and gestured for him to get into the car.
Qin Yu quickly opened the passenger door and got in. Seeing his cousin dawdle, he hurriedly urged him,
"Cousin, hurry up!"
Qin Zhen, seeing this young man’s behavior over the last few days, couldn’t help but smile.
"You’ll get home eventually; what’s the rush?"
Qin Yu immediately retorted, "I’m rushing to get home for dinner."
Qin Zhen: ...
Was he that hungry? He heard this kid had been eating quite well here.
Without further delay, he opened the driver’s door, sat down, and started the car... Pressing on the gas, the car sped away.
Qin Zhen was naturally a talkative person, and he chattered all the way.
Qin Yu couldn’t be bothered with him... but considering he was still in his car, he politely responded a few times.
For someone eager to get home, it’s best if others would just shut up.
Fortunately, though Qin Zhen was really talkative, he also drove fast.
When they reached the house, they hadn’t wasted any time.
"We’re here."
Qin Yu was thrilled and was about to get out when he suddenly remembered something and turned to Qin Zhen,
"Thanks for the ride, big cousin."
Qin Zhen waved his hand with a smile, "No need to be so formal, we’re brothers after all. Now, go ahead and get out."
Qin Yu didn’t bother with further small talk. He opened the door and got out, grabbing his luggage from the back seat and heading straight to knock on the door.
Qin Zhen: ...
While his mouth said thanks, he didn’t even invite him inside.
Oh well, he had other things to do!
With a press on the gas, he drove off.
After he’d driven away, he suddenly remembered... He had forgotten to tell Qin Yu to invite the family over for dinner tomorrow.
Well, that’s tomorrow’s problem; he could always come back and tell him again.
On the other side, Qin Mei heard someone knocking and rushed out to open the door. When she saw the dark-skinned person standing at the door, she froze.
Then tentatively, she called out, "Bro... Brother?"
"Little sister..." Qin Yu’s voice was a bit excited; it had been a long time since anyone called him ’brother.’
"Brother, is it really you? How come you’re back?" Her brother had gone to the army and had gotten so tanned, she almost didn’t recognize him at first.
Then she quickly added, "I’ll go tell sister-in-law..."
After dropping that line, she turned and ran inside.
Qin Yu: ...
Shouldn’t she be elated and usher him in? Why did she just run off?
But thinking that his sister was going to tell his sister-in-law, he was quite happy and hurried inside with his luggage...
"Sister-in-law, my brother is back!" Qin Mei’s shout didn’t bring out Rong Yan but did draw out Madam Rong, who was cooking.
"Meimei, who did you say is here?"
Qin Mei was very excited, "Auntie, it’s my brother, he’s back!"
Madam Rong looked up and happened to see Qin Yu walking into the yard. She was overjoyed and quickly went forward, "Yu, you’re back!"
Qin Yu respectfully called out, "Auntie, yes, I’m home."
Madam Rong was truly happy, "How come your cousin didn’t mention it? Oh, boy, you’ve become so..."
She was about to comment on his dark skin but quickly changed her wording, "You look sturdy and have grown so much taller."
Qin Yu loved hearing that he had grown taller, as he had always been very conscious about his height.
So, hearing his aunt say he has grown taller, he grinned, showing a big, white smile.
"The food in the army wasn’t bad; I ate a lot and exercised, so I’ve gotten a bit taller... actually, not that much, just four or five centimeters..."
He couldn’t conceal his joy as he spoke.
Qin Mei: ...
"Brother, I’ve grown taller too!"
Qin Yu turned his head to look and subtly compared their heights; the smile gradually faded from his face.
Why had his sister grown slightly taller than him in this short period?
"...Little sister has grown taller, that’s really good."
The response was a bit delayed, but slowly he also cheered up. After all, his sister growing taller was indeed something to be happy about.
Just then, Rong Yan came out.
"Yo, Qin Yu, you’re back."
