"Second Young Lady, thereâs a call from home." In the Qin Family house, Qin Shuang came downstairs with a somber expression. Her personal secretary, seeing her ashen face, lowered his head.
"Who called?"
"Your father and your elder sister."
Qin Shuang initially didnât want to take the call, but she couldnât refuse calls from these two people.
"Let me take my fatherâs call first." She went over, and the secretary handed her the red landline phone. "Dad..."
She had just begun to speak when an angry male voice came through, "Qin Shuang, look at what youâve done! Did you inform me before you did this?"
"Dad, Mom knew about this." Qin Shuang couldnât mobilize the Qin Familyâs influence, but her mother could. For the sake of her son, Mrs. Qin wouldnât allow her only son, the familyâs sole heir, to marry a country girl.
"You are simply reckless. You need to come back immediately." Qin Zhixuan was furious; if Su Jiang had not gleefully brought it up during the meeting today, he wouldnât have known that this happened.
"Dad, I didnât expect things to turn out this way. If I had known earlier, I definitely wouldnât have done it." Qin Shuang regretted it so much that she wished she could crash into a wall. Compared to regret, she was angrier about being publicly humiliated.
Damn it! This time, Qin Shuangâs reputation was utterly destroyed. Once she returned to the Southern District, she would be mocked endlessly.
"You still havenât realized what your true mistake was." Qin Zhixuan was angry; how did he end up with such a foolish daughter? No... Qin Shuang wasnât foolish; she was too self-assured.
Being too dismissive of others ultimately leads to arrogance. There are so many examples of arrogance, yet she hasnât learned her lesson.
"Dad, I think under those circumstances, I wasnât wrong. Even someone as clever as Yun Feng made a mistake, right? Compared to him almost killing his own daughter, how does this even compare?"
Luckily, the Hai Family and Shen Family were in worse situations, making her foolishness somewhat bearable.
"Yun Feng is foolish, but you werenât foolish? You forced my only son to sever ties with the family â does this bring honor to me?"
"Dad, Xiao Yue acted impulsively; he definitely wouldnât truly sever ties with the family." The Qin Familyâs influence was enormous; anyone would be reluctant to let go.
"Youâre really foolish!" Qin Zhixuan stopped speaking, "And you donât understand your brother well. Since childhood, Xiao Yue has always done what he said he would do. Heâs been dissatisfied with the family, and this is an opportunity for him. You watch! There will be plenty of embarrassing moments for our Qin Family ahead."
After Qin Zhixuan finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Qin Shuang listened to the dial tone thinking that if her brother really refused to come home, Mom would certainly never forgive her.
Itâs over!
Qin Shuang suddenly felt a chill throughout her body. Her fatherâs disappointed words brought an unprecedented blow to her. Mother treated her brother like the apple of her eye; if he didnât come home, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The phone on the table rang again, and Qin Shuang answered it, hearing her elder sister Qin Xueâs steady voice.
Among the many sisters in the Qin Family, the most calm, capable, and composed was Qin Xue. Qin Shuang wasnât convinced by anyone except her elder sister. Even the rebellious brother was willing to listen to her elder sister.
"Big sister, did I really make a mistake?"
"Hmm!" Qin Xue said calmly on the phone, "Qin Shuang, this isnât typical of you. Why did you act so out of character?"
