"Since you're afraid of the Qin family becoming a laughingstock, then let's separate. It's not like we're married yet, right?"
"Ah... Ah Mo?"
Mother Qin hadn't expected to see Qin Mohan here and froze for a moment.
Why was he here?
Qin Yu's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly before relaxing again. He greeted him with perfect courtesy. "Big Brother."
"Ah Mo, you... why are you here?"
Madam Qin had always been somewhat afraid of this nephew of hers.
Seeing the dark look on his face, her voice weakened considerably. All the arrogance she had displayed earlier was gone.
Qin Mohan glanced at Su Qiao on the bed. "My car hit hers."
Although he wasn't at fault, his car had indeed collided with hers.
"What?" Mother Qin hadn't expected that and let out a startled cry.
She quickly recovered and asked with concern, "Then... then are you all right?"
Qin Yu was also extremely surprised.
He had only heard the police who called say that another car had been following closely behind the BMW.
The front of that car had been badly damaged, but he hadn't expected it to be Qin Mohan's.
Qin Mohan curled his lips slightly and let out a cold laugh. "Heh, don't worry. I'm tough enough to survive."
At those words, Mother Qin was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to respond.
After all, she had just been insulting Su Qiao, saying that Old Chen had died while she was still alive because she was too hard-lived—she had caused her parents' deaths and now intended to bring misfortune to others.
Moreover, after that incident all those years ago, rumors had spread outside that Han was hard-lived and had caused his own parents' deaths.
There were also rumors that he had personally killed his parents for the position of Family Head.
Of course, she knew better than anyone where those rumors had come from.
After an awkward moment, Mother Qin stiffly changed the subject. "Ah Mo, you haven't come back to the Old Manor in so long..."
Qin Mohan couldn't be bothered to answer her. Instead, he turned his gaze to Qin Yu, who seemed lost in thought, and brought up the matter again:
"Since you're afraid of losing face, then just separate. It's not as if you're married anyway."
It was nothing more than the title of an engaged couple. It wasn't a big deal.
As if remembering something, he looked cold, his gaze filled with icy menace.
"Also, return whatever belongs to someone else. The Qin family is a large enough clan that it wouldn't stoop to coveting someone else's petty gains."
Those words were absolutely devastating.
They instantly painted Qin Yu as a scheming man who coveted petty advantages.
Anger flashed through Qin Yu's eyes, but he still did his best to maintain his gentle expression. With deep affection and determination, he looked at the silent Su Qiao.
"Big Brother, you've misunderstood. I love Qiaoqiao. No matter what she becomes, I'll never leave her."
"Is that so?"
Qin Mohan glanced at Su Qiao. Seeing her keep her mouth shut without offering a single rebuttal, his expression immediately darkened.
"Then suit yourselves."
Leaving behind that blunt remark, Qin Mohan turned around and stormed away with a gloomy face.
Mother Qin was somewhat confused. She still hadn't figured out what had happened.
Seeing him stride away, she hurriedly called out with a fake smile:
"Ah Mo, remember to come back when you have time. Your Second Uncle and I both miss you very much."
Qin Yu watched his retreating back with tightly furrowed brows, then looked at Su Qiao in confusion.
Why did he feel that Qin Mohan was acting strangely today?
With his temperament, he would never have bothered with matters like this.
Mother Qin breathed a sigh of relief. When she turned back and saw Su Qiao on the hospital bed, her anger flared again.
She pointed at her resentfully and scolded, "You wretched girl, why didn't you say that Ah Mo was the one who hit your car?"
Since she couldn't do anything to her or kill her, Su Qiao decided that out of sight was out of mind and simply closed her eyes.
"So noisy. If there's nothing else, get out. I'm going to sleep."
"What kind of attitude is that?" Mother Qin hadn't expected her to talk back. She reached out and tried to slap her.
