Cry louder, I can't hear you.

Yun Qiao originally only planned to come back for a few minutes and then find an excuse to slip away.

Now that Lin Qingqing had taken the luggage upstairs, Yun Qiao had no choice but to follow.

Yunqiao didn't realize until she went upstairs that her room had become Lin Qingqing's.

"I'm sorry, cousin. I didn't want to stay in your room either, but my aunt and uncle said that since you don't usually come back to stay, the room is just sitting empty."

Yun Qiao was so angry she laughed. Since they'd already given her room to someone else, why did they want her to come back?

"Cousin, are you angry? I'm so sorry, I'll move out tonight, please don't be angry..."

"What happened? Did you two have a fight?"

Lin Qingqing's voice was quite loud, which quickly attracted Yun Zhenxing and Ni Ping.

Yun Zhenxing entered with a stern face. "Xiao Yun, Qingqing is a guest. Control your temper and don't bully her."

"Uncle, that's not true. My cousin didn't bully me."

"If you didn't bully her, then why are your eyes red?" Ni Ping walked over and hugged her, asking with concern.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingqing fell silent, her head bowed and her face filled with grievance.

Yun Zhenxing looked at Yun Qiao with displeasure: "What exactly happened?"

Yun Qiao was too lazy to watch these people put on a show of family affection in front of her, and said directly:

Where will I sleep tonight?

"Of course I'll stay in your room, where else would I stay?"

"So, you mean you want me to share a room and sleep in the same bed with someone I just met today?"

Yun Zhenxing was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ni Ping and then at Yun Qiao:

"When did I say you could sleep in the same room as Qingqing?"

Upon hearing this, Ni Ping's expression flashed with a hint of guilt, and she weakly interjected:

"The day Qingqing came, the guest room wasn't ready yet, so I had her stay at Xiaoyun's place temporarily. I forgot about it..."

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhenxing's expression immediately darkened:

"How did you arrange this? How could you forget something like this?"

"...The children are all here, I know I was wrong." Ni Ping walked to Yun Zhenxing's side, gently tugged at his sleeve, and whispered coquettishly.

Yun Zhenxing was indeed swayed by this. Upon hearing this, he stopped scolding her and instead turned to Yun Qiao, saying:

"Your mother has been too busy lately and forgot. Don't worry, she'll arrange a new room for Qingqing right away. You can continue sleeping in your own room."

They didn't realize at all that this wasn't a matter of forgetting because they were busy.

The issue is entering her room and using it without her permission.

Yun Qiao didn't have much hope for this cheap father anyway, so she didn't say much after hearing this, just nodded and said okay, and then sent the group away.

As Lin Qingqing left, she continued to apologize.

"I'm so sorry, Uncle, I've caused you so much trouble..."

Yun Zhenxing spoke gently to her, "Qingqing, don't blame yourself. This isn't your fault. I'll have your aunt arrange a new room for you, okay?"

Yun Qiao closed the door, completely shutting out the sounds of these people.

I don't know what kind of fate she has. In reality, her parents don't care about her, and in the world of novels, she has such a bizarre father.

Is she just born with a bad relationship with her parents?

Yun Qiao packed up everything in the room that Lin Qingqing might have touched and took it downstairs to throw it away.

There's a small garden outside the back door on the first floor, and a large trash can in the garden.

She threw the whole bag of things, including the bed sheets, into the trash can.

Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly heard voices coming from the garden.

"Honey, Yunqiao clearly doesn't care about you as her father. You'd be better off raising Qingqing instead of her."

"Don't you know how Qingqing treats you? She's always obedient!"

"Yun Qiao may seem well-behaved, but you sent her abroad at such a young age. Are you sure she doesn't harbor any resentment towards you?"

Is this about her?

Yun Qiao looked around to make sure no one was there, then quietly moved closer to the garden and found a secluded spot to hide.

Just as he hid, Yun Zhenxing's voice came: "But Shen Suwei has his eye on Yun Qiao now, not Qingqing."

"Shen Suwei is blind. He doesn't even know what Yun Qiao looks like, so how could he possibly be interested in her?" Ni Ping retorted. "Yun Qiao probably only met Shen Suwei because of her connection with Shen Qing, and they exchanged a few words. If it were Qingqing, she could have done even better! You know how sweet-talking Qingqing is."

"You make it sound so simple. How is Qingqing going to see Shen Suwei?"

Ni Ping paused for a moment, then spoke again:

"Didn't Yunqiao say she and Shen Suwei have a good relationship? Then let her invite Shen Suwei to our house, and we'll arrange for Qingqing to meet him."

"Okay, I'll go find Xiaoyun now."

Hearing footsteps approaching, Yun Qiao withdrew her gaze and turned to walk into the house first.

She went upstairs to her room and had just locked the door when someone knocked on it from the outside.

Yun Qiao listened for a while without responding. She went to the wardrobe, took out her pajamas, and walked into the bathroom.

Since she wasn't the one in a hurry, she decided to let them wait outside.

Yunqiao took a shower for over twenty minutes before coming out.

Outside the door, Yun Zhenxing and Ni Ping were already discussing breaking down the door.

Yun Qiao took a towel, slowly dried her hair, and went to open the door.

"What's wrong?"

When Yun Zhenxing saw her finally open the door, his anger, which had been building up for almost half an hour, exploded all at once:

"Are you deaf? Why won't you open the door?!"

Yun Qiao's eyes instantly reddened, and she looked aggrieved:

"Dad, I was taking a shower and didn't hear anything..."

Yun Zhenxing choked, but he was still furious:

"We called you so many times and you didn't hear us?!"

"I went to take a shower and didn't bring my phone..."

Yun Zhenxing wanted to curse again, but Ni Ping pulled him back and gestured for him not to act impulsively.

He then turned and smiled gently at Yun Qiao:

"Xiaoyun, don't be sad. Your dad didn't mean to blame you. We just thought something had happened to you since you wouldn't open the door."

"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. I'm fine."

Ni Ping's face stiffened.

Yun Zhenxing retorted angrily, "She's your mother, why are you calling her 'Auntie'?!"

"But Dad, Mom is dead, isn't she? It's not nice of you to talk about Auntie like that. It feels like you're cursing her to die soon."

"you--"

"Alright, alright, you can call me whatever you want." Ni Ping continued to act as a peacemaker, "Xiaoyun, your dad and I came to see you so late because we have something we'd like to ask you."

Yun Qiao feigned ignorance: "What is it?"

"Didn't you say that Mr. Shen took good care of you on the island? Your father and I are very grateful to him, and we'd like to invite him over for dinner. Why don't you give him a call and ask when he'll be free?"

"Mr. Shen is quite busy."

"Just hit me when I tell you to, why are you talking so much nonsense?!" Yun Zhenxing couldn't help but scold him again.

Yun Qiao wasn't angry. She just weakly said "okay" and went back to her room to get her phone.
