In the study, Mr. Jiu sat upright at the desk, his expression... somewhat awkward.
Qin Miaomiao sat to the side, her face pale. Lu Qing also sat nearby, sipping tea with a hint of schadenfreude in his demeanor.
The study housed only the three of them, and the atmosphere was slightly heavy.
After a moment of silence, Mr. Jiu finally spoke:
"Sheâs a Mo Family member, and her health has always been poor. I took care of her for a year, and thereafter arranged for people to keep watch over her."
"Adopted daughter?"
Qin Miaomiao raised her eyebrow, with her lips curling upward slightlyâhowever, the expression appeared somewhat eerie no matter how one saw it.
Mr. Jiu glanced at her. Little Jinâer seemed quite upsetâhow should he coax her?
"Not exactly, sheâs not listed under my name."
At that moment, Lu Qing interjected with a remark:
"Publicly, the Mo Family claims sheâs your foster daughter."
So, old man, spare your explanations. Youâve already got yourself a foster daughter, yet you still want to pull my wife onto your family genealogy? Dream on!
"She hasnât been added to the Su Familyâs genealogy."
Impudent brat, donât assume you can sow discord!
Qin Miaomiao abruptly stood up: "Forget it, Ninth Uncle. As for the genealogy matter, weâll discuss it another time. You take care and rest wellâIâll be heading back."
Mr. Jiu hastily called out: "Not staying for the holiday?"
"You already have someone here who went out of their way to keep you company. I wonât intrude on the fun."
With that, she turned and left without the slightest hesitation.
Lu Qing rose unhurriedly, his schadenfreude was unmistakable, and he said indifferently:
"Mr. Jiu, Iâll take my leave."
Mr. Jiu, who had always been a commanding presence, felt unprecedentedly at a loss. Little Jinâer seemed angryâhow should he placate her?
As soon as they exited the study, they ran into Mo Wenwan. Her lips curled upwards as she smiled faintly and said:
"Miss Qin, Mr. Jiu has always had the hobby of keeping cats and dogs around for amusement. But donât take it seriously."
Qin Miaomiao glanced at her and sneered, "Oh? So, Miss Mo, you enjoy comparing yourself to cats and dogs?"
Sharp-tongued indeed. Mo Wenwanâs expression shifted slightly. Upon noticing Lu Qing emerge, she grinned and said:
"Sister-in-law, why not stay the night? Although Mr. Jiu doesnât like keeping guests, he might make an exception for me."
Her bearing was nothing short of that of a self-proclaimed mistress of the household, which thoroughly annoyed her.
"Thank you for your kind offer, but thereâs no need."
With that, she turned and strode off.
Mo Wenwan scoffed disdainfully. It seemed this was all the strategy she hadâutterly incapable of patience. Clearly, Mo Wenwan had overestimated her.
She turned around to see Lu Qing, a flicker of delight crossing her face as she approached with a trace of intimacy:
"Brother Qing, Iâm back."
Lu Qing glanced at her and said blandly:
"You look well. Has your illness fully recovered?"
"Mm, the doctor said Iâm recovering nicely. Brother Qing, when do you plan to divorce her?"
Not a ripple showed on Lu Qingâs face, but his words were firm and deliberate:
"Iâm not divorcing her."
Mo Wenwanâs face went pale, her shock evident: "But you said you were going to marry me."
Almost instinctively, she wrapped her arms around his, but he brushed her off. His demeanor was icy, and the look in his eyes was devoid of warmth:
"That was when we were young. You should forget those things."
With that, he walked away without a backward glance.
Mo Wenwanâs face grew cold, inch by inch. What was promised should remain for a lifetime. She hadnât forgotten, and neither should he!
At this moment, the butler stood behind her, his voice steady as he spoke:
"Miss Mo, please leave."
Mo Wenwanâs expression grew awkward as she subdued her emotions and said in a low voice:
"Is this Mr. Jiuâs order?"
"Yes. Liyuan has never accommodated outsiders."
Mo Wenwanâs face flushed with humiliation. Not accommodate outsiders? Yet sheâd heard Qin Miaomiao had been frequenting Liyuan latelyâeven staying there!
So sheâs not considered an outsider?
Even calling him Ninth Uncle, Mr. Jiuâwhat gives her the right!
