rried the middle-aged man's body away.On the other side, Yang Chen was queuing up to pick up Xiaoxiao when his phone suddenly rang."Brother Chen, I found out. Peng Gang did indeed receive a call befor...Chapter 111
At the same time, Yang Chen had already sent Qin Xi and Xiao Xiao back to the Qin Family Courtyard.
As soon as the family of three stepped through the door, they were greeted by the aroma of a delicious meal.
"Xiao Xi, why are you guys back so late I've had dinner ready for a while now. Go wash your hands quickly, I'll just heat up the dishes." Zhou Yucui was very attentive and carried the dishes to reheat them.
After the morning's lesson, Zhou Yucui was on edge all day, fearing that her two daughters would give her no more money in the future.
Before my daughter got off work, I cooked a whole table of dishes with my own hands.
"We've already eaten out." Qin Xi responded coldly, then went upstairs.
"Little Xi, I've done so much, what will you do if you don't eat this You can just eat a little less!" Zhou Yucui hurriedly said.
Ke Qin ignored her plans altogether and pulled Xiaoxiao back to the room.
Soon, Qin Yi also returned home. Just like before, every time she got home, she would happily shout: "Mom, I'm back!"
But today, she didn't say a word. When Zhou Yucui called her to eat, she didn't even bother to speak and went straight back to her room.
Zhou Y cui's face was constantly changing, clearly very angry. But thinking of the money her two daughters gave her every month, she had to suppress her anger.
Yang Chen walked out after washing his hands, looked at the table full of dishes and said with a smile, "Mom, your cooking is the best, just smelling it makes me hungry!"
Yang Chen said he went to the kitchen. When he came out with a large bowl of rice, he found that all the dishes on the table were gone. Zhou Y cuitri was just putting the last dish into the trash can.
Seeing this, Yang Chen's mouth twitched.
He wasn't hungry, he just wanted to use this opportunity to slightly ease the relationship with his mother-in-law. Unexpectedly, his good intentions were mistaken as ungrateful behavior.
"Mom, why did you pour out all the vegetables" Yang Chen asked with a smile.
Zhou Y cui glared fiercely at Yang Chen: “Even if I cooked this food for a dog, I wouldn't give it to you.”
After saying that, she snatched the rice bowl from Yang Chen's hand, dumped the rice into the trash can, and turned to leave.
Yang Chen felt a surge of anger rising within him. Zhou Yucui was practically insulting him.
But when he thought of Qin Xi and XiaoXiao, he had to quell his anger again.
"I'm afraid no matter how much I do, she'll never truly get rid of the contempt she has for me deep down."
Yang Chen let out a self-deprecating smile, then turned and went upstairs.
"Mom, are you giving me face again" Qin Xi asked.
Yang Chen shook his head and smiled, "No!"
"Still no Your face is obviously wrong." Qin Xibai gave Yang Chen a glance.
Yang Chen just smiled and didn't explain.
Just then, Qin Xi's phone suddenly rang.
As soon as she answered, a familiar voice came through: "Xiao Xi, please come to the Nevernight City and save your father! If you don't come soon, your father will be crippled."
"Dad, what's wrong" Qin Xi instantly changed her expression and anxiously asked.
"You must be Qin Dayong's daughter, right Your father owes the Nightclub five million, and another customer one million. In half an hour, if I don't see you bring the money to redeem him, just wait for me to collect his body!" Suddenly, another unfamiliar voice came.
After finishing the sentence, the person on the other end hung up.
"What happened" Seeing Qin Xi's dazed expression, I hurriedly asked.
Qin Xihong looked at her eyes with tears welling up, and said: "My father is in the City That Never Sleeps. He owes six million yuan. The other party said that if we don't go and redeem him within half an hour, they will kill my father!"
Yang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. Although he wasn't sure what the No-Sleep City was, just by the name, he knew it must be a place of entertainment.
"Something's definitely fishy here. How could my dad suddenly owe so much money But where would I even find five million to bail him out" Qin Xi was close to tears, her face full of panic.
Yang Chen asked, "Dad, has there been anything unusual these days"
"Lately, he either doesn't come home or comes home drunk."m from the Meng family!"The man gritted his teeth and said, being stepped on the neck by Yang Chen, his voice was extremely muffled.Yang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. It was the Meng family again....
