Just thinking about how Qin Yu and Guo Xiaoyu often fooled around in the room right next to hers made Su Qiao feel a little nauseous.

Seeing how readily she agreed, Qin Mohan's expression improved considerably.

Then, as if he had suddenly remembered something, he gave the Old Butler another pointed reminder.

"The Qin Family is a prominent family. We can't tolerate people who steal and pilfer."

The Old Butler froze.

Although he didn't understand why the Young Master had suddenly said that, he quickly nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Young Master. You're absolutely right. The Qin Family definitely can't tolerate people like that."

444 suddenly cried out as if it had caught someone red-handed.

Host, look, look! He's jealous! He's worried that the Qin Family's servants might secretly take your things while helping you move them.

Su Qiao's eyes flickered. "Maybe he's worried they'll take his own things."

After all, the man was even moving his study downstairs. He definitely had plenty of valuable things.

444 couldn't win the argument with her, so it could only give up, somewhat huffily.

Just wait and see, Host. This man has definitely fallen for you. I, 444, bet ten Points.

After all this, Mother Qin's expression turned rather ugly.

For the past two years, she and her family had been living in the Qin Family's Old Manor, and she had always regarded herself as its mistress.

But today, Qin Mohan's actions had practically slapped her directly across the face.

Seeing her ugly expression and the anger in her eyes, Qin Yu put an arm around her shoulders and comforted her.

"Mom, didn't you say you were tired on the way back? Go to your room and rest for a while. I'll have the butler call you when dinner's ready."

"Oh, all right."

Although Mother Qin was furious and wanted to curse him out, she couldn't do anything at this moment.

She could only use this excuse to retreat to her room, somewhat angrily.

"Ahem, Brother Qin, Brother Yu, I'm going upstairs to play some games."

Guo Xiaoyu didn't want to stay there any longer either, so she hurriedly found an excuse.

Qin Mohan didn't even lift his eyelids, as if he couldn't see her at all.

Guo Xiaoyu felt somewhat displeased.

No matter what, she was now part of the Guo Family. Yet Qin Mohan hadn't even spared her a glance, ignoring her so completely.

Qin Yu patted her shoulder and gave her a meaningful look. "Go on."

Mother Qin and Guo Xiaoyu had both left, while Father Qin still hadn't returned.

Aside from the Old Butler, who was directing the servants as they moved things downstairs, only Qin Mohan, Qin Yu, and Su Qiao remained in the hall.

Su Qiao was holding a small pink laptop bag. She opened it and took out her computer.

Qin Yu walked over. "Qiaoqiao, do you want me to carry you to the sofa? It'd be more comfortable there, and it would be easier for you to use your computer."

Qin Mohan's eyes darkened, and he suddenly called out coldly in deep displeasure.

"Butler, I've been back for so long, and you haven't even brought me a cup of tea. Are you taking me, the Family Head, lightly?"

Hearing him call out, the butler hurried over and said apologetically, "Young Master, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I'll personally make you a cup right away."

Qin Mohan raised his eyelids slightly and glanced in Su Qiao's direction.

"Can't you see we have a guest? What happened to the Qin Family's hospitality?"

The butler froze, then felt something strange. Fortunately, he reacted quickly.

"Yes, I'll make Miss Su some tea right away, and bring out several plates of fruit and pastries."

"Mm." Qin Mohan answered softly, his long fingers slowly tapping against his thigh, looking every inch the Overlord.

By this point, if Qin Yu still hadn't noticed something was wrong, he really would have been an idiot.

He lowered his head and glanced at Su Qiao, who was turning on her computer, then looked up at Qin Mohan on the sofa.

He slowly walked over and sat in the single-seat sofa opposite him. "Big Brother, do you know Qiaoqiao?"
