Got kicked out of the House

Hearing the pleading tone of grievance in Qin Qinghan's voice, Ye Fengwu's face immediately became gloomy. He said seriously, "I never thought of hurting you and your mother. I just want to take care of you for the rest of my life."

Qin Qinghan just shook her head self-deprecatingly and sneered, "You know my past. I was raped when I was sixteen. For the past eight years, everyone around me has been mocking me. Even my grandfather and uncle no longer see me as a member of the Qin family."

"Yesterday, I lost my job. I don't even have money to pay the mortgage and support the whole family anymore. I have nothing to give you. Don't keep pestering me. Please let me go."

Qin Qinghan became more and more sad as she spoke, more and more agitated, and finally burst into tears, burying her head in her hands.

Ye Fengwu's face became even gloomier. He sneered, "So this is how you've always seen me? You think I approached you because I wanted something from you?"

"If so, let me make it clear that the only thing I want is the right to take care of you and your mother."

Qin Qinghan suddenly looked up, with a few tears flung onto the quilt. At this point, Qin Qinghan had completely collapsed under the pressure, so her wariness of Ye Fengwu was also gone.

So Qin Qinghan said coldly, "Your honeyed words can't fool me. A man like you has no shortage of women. If you want to use candy-coated artillery to completely capture me, I advise you to stop as soon as possible. I'm not a naive little girl, and I certainly won't fall in love with a rapist."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Fengwu felt a slight sourness in his heart. So Qin Qinghan had always thought he approached her just for a moment of pleasure!

"Heh..." Ye Fengwu's self-mockery grew thicker. He smiled gloomily, "You think I approached you for a moment of desire, or to satisfy my own sense of achievement in pursuing beautiful women?"

Qin Qinghan said, "Isn't that so? If you force me, I have no power to resist. But that hypocritical mask on your face just disgusts me."

"Heh heh..." Ye Fengwu laughed, a very unpleasant laugh.

This laugh made Qin Qinghan's back go cold. Just now, she had summoned all her courage to speak her mind, and now, she finally felt afraid, afraid that this person would really force himself on her in anger and humiliation.

So Qin Qinghan instinctively shuffled back on the bed until she reached the headboard.

After a long time, Ye Fengwu suddenly looked into Qin Qinghan's eyes and said, "I do have something hidden from you, but I believe these secrets are harmless to you. When the time is right, I...I will tell you everything about me without reservation."

The only thing Ye Fengwu was hiding from Qin Qinghan was that he was Jing Si's biological father, the rapist who had kept Qin Qinghan living in purgatory for the past eight years. Of course, there was also his identity as a warrior god in the military.

If Ye Fengwu knew that what Qin Qinghan detested most was his underground organization identity, perhaps Ye Fengwu would not be able to resist telling Qin Qinghan that he was actually a warrior god protecting his country in the military!

But now, Ye Fengwu not only saw Qin Qinghan's gentleness, but also the stubbornness in her bones. Once she found out he was that rapist, she would probably stab him without hesitation. At the very least, she would kick him out and never let him get close to her and her daughter again.

Qin Qinghan's emotions stabilized. She shook her head and said, "No need. I'm not interested in your affairs. I just ask you to let me go. You make me...feel terrified."

After speaking, Qin Qinghan directly took out an object from the drawer of the bedside table.

Ye Fengwu turned to look, only to see it was a small box, the engagement ring box he had given her.

Qin Qinghan placed the small box on the bed, exhaustedly said, "Thank you for what you've done for my mother and me these past few days. Here is your ring back. Please leave."

Ye Fengwu's mood was very heavy. He was actually being kicked out. He picked up the small box, casually opened it, and a ring set with a thumbnail-sized blue sapphire appeared before his eyes.

Ye Fengwu glanced at it casually, but immediately his gaze froze, and his eyes were filled with extreme disappointment.

Snap!

Ye Fengwu closed the small box, and solemnly said, "Alright, I can leave for a few days. I'll give you time to consider."

After speaking, Ye Fengwu directly left Qin Qinghan's room.

Watching his departing figure, Qin Qinghan did not feel relieved, but somewhat lost.

Bang!

When the security door outside closed, she felt as if she had lost some sense of security.

"Woo woo..."

The suppressed sobbing sounded again in the room.

At the trash can downstairs in the community, Ye Fengwu's face was gloomy and disappointed. He held the small box in one hand, and then exerted a little force.

Crack!

The entire small box shattered instantly, and the blue sapphire inside also turned into a pile of powder.

But a thumbnail-sized blue sapphire, with a hardness exceeding that of diamonds, could not be easily crushed into powder even by Ye Fengwu's strength.

And from the powdery state, this was clearly just ordinary glass.

"Why did you do this? Was it because of money?" Ye Fengwu murmured disappointedly.

When he had opened the small box in Qin Qinghan's room, with one glance he already knew this was no longer the one he had given her originally. That ring was unique, with a market value of over 100 million USD.

But the one Ye Fengwu had just crushed was purely a glass imitation, with just a few tens of dollars in processing fees.

"It seems that even a woman as simple and kind-hearted as you will do some petty things for money..." Ye Fengwu's disappointment grew thicker.

After leaving those words, he directly left the community.

He did not think of taking back that ring. If Qin Qinghan had really sold her integrity for 100 million USD, then consider it as repaying her debt to him. And she would no longer be worth his lifelong protection.

Ye Fengwu only hoped the 100 million USD could allow her and her mother to live better.

...

Right after Ye Fengwu left the community, Yang Yu hurried back home, rushing in and crying out,

"Qinghan, Qinghan, you must save your father!"

After driving Ye Fengwu away, Qin Qinghan felt somewhat lost. Plus the pressure of being unemployed, her mood sank to an extreme low.

Hearing Yang Yu's cries, her heart suddenly dropped. Although she didn't know what had happened, she already sensed the sky above her was really going to collapse.

Qin Qinghan didn't care that the tears on her face were still wet. She rushed out of the bedroom to see Yang Yu crying bitterly on the sofa.

Qin Qinghan asked in a trembling voice, "Mom, what happened? Where's Dad?"

Yang Yu's eyes were full of guilt and self-blame. She cried, "Qinghan, your mom has let you down. I know you're under a lot of financial pressure, but I just couldn't resist going to play mahjong with the neighbors to liven things up a bit. But..."

At this point, Yang Yu was obviously already sobbing uncontrollably.

Qin Qinghan felt the gravity of the situation. She hurriedly sat down on the sofa and asked, "Mom, what exactly happened? Did something happen to Dad?"

Yang Yu choked back sobs, "At first I tried to advise your dad against it, but he was being stubborn for some reason, insisting on playing with them."

"At the start, your dad did have quite good luck, and won fifty thousand yuan in less than an hour."

"Your father said that if he wins another fifty thousand, he'll stop while he's ahead. That way he can still find a good school for Jing Si, so Jing Si won't have to be bullied every day anymore."

Qin Qinghan's face grew even more worried. She knew it wasn't that simple. That Gao He definitely wouldn't just give away money for no reason.

Yang Yu cried even harder and continued, "Because of your father's greed, and Gao He egging him on, they went bigger. And the result...the result..."

"Wu...Qinghan, your father and I have failed you."

Suddenly Yang Yu burst into loud sobs.

Qin Qinghan grew even more anxious, urgently asking, "Mother, did father lose? How much did he lose?"

Only then did Yang Yu say, "Your father, he lost...he lost one hundred thousand."

"One hundred thousand..." Qin Qinghan was also shocked, staring with wide eyes. She hadn't imagined it would be so much either.

Afterwards, she consoled Yang Yu, "Mother, it'll be alright. We'll take it as a lesson. I'll find a way to pay back the money."

Qin Qinghan spoke lightly, but she had no idea where she could borrow such an amount. Would she have to ask grandfather? They definitely wouldn't help.

Yang Yu guiltily said, "Qinghan, your mother knows it hasn't been easy for you, but you have to find a way to save your father. Gao He said that if he doesn't get eighty thousand tomorrow, he'll...he'll chop off one of your father's hands."

When Qin Qinghan heard this, her face went pale with fright. She urgently said, "Let's report this to the police!"

Yang Yu hurriedly shook her head, "We can't report this. One look at Gao He and you know he's no good. If we get the police involved, our family will be in big trouble in the future. Qin Qinghan, you have to think of something!"
