Chapter 152 - Dogfight
Qin family valued their reputation and Zhou Yu knew this, so she made herself appear weak.
Qin Jiaojiao knew how to act, but Zhou Yu knew how to do it just as well.
“Previously, when you guys asked for food, you made a promise very sincerely, but now you guys found a big tree to climb and became so high and mighty, huh?”
Qin Hanmo was so mad that his face and neck were red, staring at Zhou Yu and howling, “What nonsense! We have already returned the favor for the food you gave us, you’re the one who stayed in our house and continued snatching Jiaojiao’s things. Also, I’ve already found your parents, but you refused to leave.”
If Qin Hanmo kept quiet, it would be fine, but his words proved that Zhou Yu had indeed helped them and Zhou Yu knew Qin Hanmo’s character, so she intentionally led him to admitting it.
As expected, everyone began to be on Zhou Yu’s side.
Qin Yi stroked her chin – this Zhou Yu didn’t disappoint her at all. With that, the Qin family’s reputation would be tarnished, especially Qin Jiaojiao’s.
Seeing Qin Jiaojiao’s eyes filled with resentment, Qin Yi sneered. Don’t worry, she had prepared many similar moves for her. She wanted Qin Jiaojiao to have a taste of being isolated by everyone, just like what Qin Yi herself had experienced before.
Yun Huan wasn’t interested in gossip like this and was even more disinterested when he found out that it was regarding Qin Mian’s daughter, Qin Jiaojiao. He still remembered that this person was the one who caused Zheng Zhong to act like a mad dog.
Yun Huan turned around and walked towards their house, “Let’s go, there’s nothing to see with these sorts of people. Stay away from them.”
Qin Yi nodded – it wasn’t interesting anyway. Things would definitely heat up in the future, however.
Since Yun Huan and Qin Yi left, Lin Qing and the others didn’t want to stay either. It wasn’t interesting, so they might as well go back and sleep. They would be going on missions tomorrow and needed to get a good night’s sleep.
Qin Yi and the rest may have left but the issue was still festering. The crowd was on Zhou Yu’s side at this moment and their stares made Qin Jiaojiao very uncomfortable – she was immediately reminded of what had happened before.
She had been protected since she was little and had never been so embarrassed before. Qin Jiaojiao couldn’t hold back and cried out loud.
Qin Mian, who had been at home, came out immediately when he heard Qin Jiaojiao’s cries. This had previously been between the kids and it wasn’t very good for an adult like him to step in, so he remained at home.
However, now that his precious daughter was crying, how could he stay at home? It must be said that he had played a very large role in shaping Qin Jiaojiao’s spoiled character.
He was a middle-aged man, but Qin Mian was still very handsome and attractive, especially with that manly aura he had, causing many married women and young, single ladies to blush.
Qin Mian comforted Qin Jiaojiao and stroked her head, his sharp phoenix eyes staring straight at Zhou Yu. “Miss Zhou, I think that our Qin family has treated you very well. Although you gave us some food previously, we didn’t take it for free. We had a deal: you’ll give us some food and we’ll look for your family. Now that we’ve found your family, why don’t you want to leave?”
Qin Mian’s words caused the crowd to side with him.
Qin Mian was one of the four masters of the imperial capital, this little incident meant nothing to him. But he was truly disappointed with Qin Hanmo’s performance. He always knew that his eldest son was prudent while his second son was lively, but slightly reckless and naive, unable to deal with small issues himself.
If it was the past, the Qin family would have had the ability to protect him, but it was the apocalypse now and nobody could protect him anymore. He could only learn to grow up and protect himself.
