Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

at this time,

In a local restaurant.

Hua Ying sat there staring at the delicious-looking food on the table, but she had no appetite. Instead, her face was full of worry...

She was worried that Qin Huanhuan would be bullied by Madam Xiao, and that Madam Xiao's visit to Qin Huanhuan at this time clearly indicated ill intentions.

But she was powerless to do anything. Madam Xiao was a top-tier noblewoman from the capital. She could only silently pray that Qin Huanhuan would be blessed by heaven...

Just then, Boss Qin came over after finishing his work and asked, "Miss Hua Ying, where is Miss Qin from?"

Hua Ying's eyes flickered a few times before she said, "It seems to be in the countryside of Jingcheng, but I really don't know exactly where."

Actually, Hua Ying wasn't telling the truth. She knew the address of Qin Huanhuan's hometown in the countryside. Once during summer vacation, she even went there with Qin Huanhuan...

But she couldn't possibly give the address to a person she wasn't very close to without Qin Huanhuan's consent.

Having seen countless people, Boss Qin was well aware of Hua Ying's ulterior motives. He smiled calmly and said, "Judging from Miss Qin's face, I can tell that she has a stubborn personality and has been independent since childhood. She never gives up easily when facing difficulties and setbacks in life, and challenges every obstacle in life with her tenacious character and indomitable spirit. Moreover, her face shows that Miss Qin has suffered a lot since childhood, and her current family is not her original family."

Hua Ying was shocked when she heard this. She looked at Boss Qin in disbelief and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Aren't you the owner of the local restaurant? How come you can tell fortunes, and so accurately? Then tell my fortune too."

Boss Qin revealed a profound and inscrutable expression and said, "My fortune-telling skills were taught to me by a wandering monk, and I can only read one person's fortune each day."

"Otherwise, it won't be possible, Miss Hua. You can have your face read, but only next time."

Hua Ying pouted and said, "Is there such a bizarre rule? Boss Qin, I feel like you're trying to fool me."

Boss Qin: "The end of science is metaphysics. There are many things in the world that cannot be explained. I also do things according to what the senior monk who taught me said."

At this moment, Qin Huanhuan walked in from outside, sat down, and said, "Come on, let's drink! Hua Ying, pour the wine!"

Hua Ying noticed that Qin Huanhuan looked unwell, so she asked with concern, "Huanhuan, did you have a fight with Madam Xiao?"

Qin Huanhuan picked up her beer glass and said, "Let's drink, let's not talk about this. Come on, bottoms up."

Seeing that Qin Huanhuan remained silent, Hua Ying looked at Zhang Jie beside her and asked, "Brother Zhang, did Huanhuan and Madam Xiao have a fight?"

Zhang Jie nodded silently, picked up his glass and clinked it against Qin Huanhuan's, saying, "Miss Qin, let me toast you. I won't say anything more; it's all in the drink."

Qin Huanhuan tilted her head back and downed the beer in her glass in one gulp. She put down the glass and said to Hua Ying, "Pour the beer."

Wu Lei picked up the bottle and filled her beer bottle, saying, "Miss Qin, drink slowly. Drinking too fast will make you drunk easily."

Qin Huanhuan pointed to the six bottles of beer on the table and said, "We'll each have two bottles, and then go home. Brother Wu Lei doesn't drink and drive."

Hua Ying whispered in Qin Huanhuan's ear, "Girl, I'm so worried about you, what's wrong?"

Qin Huanhuan glanced sideways at Hua Ying.

Then he took out his phone and handed it to Hua Ying, saying, "Listen to it yourself, put on your headphones."

Hua Ying took the phone and glanced at it, then exclaimed in a low voice, "Wow, Huanhuan, you're something else! You've become more shrewd now, knowing to record conversations as evidence."

Qin Huanhuan said with a hint of pride, "That's right. If I wasn't afraid of being seen by Madam Xiao, I would have recorded a video of the scene. But I was afraid of causing trouble for Brother Zhang Jie and the others, so I secretly recorded the audio."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jie and Wu Lei exchanged a glance, both thinking to themselves, "No wonder Madam couldn't outmaneuver Miss Qin. Look at her high IQ and EQ, she truly deserves to be a top student from Tsinghua and Peking Universities."

After listening to the recording with her headphones on, Hua Ying understood what had just happened. She handed the phone back to Qin Huanhuan and whispered, "I think you should send the recording to Young Master Xiao so he knows what his mother has been doing behind his back?"

Qin Huanhuan shook her head and whispered, "Xiao Zhan is very busy abroad, so I don't want to upset him. Besides, this kind of thing is nothing to me, so there's no need for him to worry."

Although the two were whispering to each other, Zhang Jie and Wu Lei still heard them. It would be strange if the four of them, sitting at such close range, couldn't hear each other.

Zhang Jie and Wu Lei exchanged another glance. They were both pleased that Qin Huanhuan was so understanding and considerate of others. No wonder the instructor doted on Qin Huanhuan so much; there was a reason for it.

at the same time,

Drunk, Zhang Yingbao arrived at Liang Yanhong's rented apartment, banging on the security door and shouting, "You damn woman, open the door now, I'm back!"

"Bang bang bang!"

After cursing, Zhang Yingbao listened intently but received no response from inside the room. Fueled by alcohol, he continued to curse, "Liang Yanhong, if you don't open the door, I'll break it down! Don't blame me for being rude then! You're asking for trouble, aren't you? If I don't beat you for three days, you'll be climbing on the roof and tearing the tiles off the house!"

Liang Yanhong had just returned from the hospital and was cooking in the kitchen. She didn't hear it at first, even though the range hood was on and the kitchen door was closed.

When she came out of the kitchen after making a bowl of egg and tomato noodles, she heard Zhang Yingbao shouting outside.

She didn't want to open the door in the first place, and her daughter had specifically told her not to let Zhang Yingbao stay at their house. Now that she heard that Zhang Yingbao was going to break down the door and hit her, she was even more afraid to open the door.

Just then, she heard a neighbor come out of the hallway and say, "Hey, can you have some manners? You keep spouting vulgarities and profanities. You have kids studying at home. The hallway is a public place, not your private space. If you want to curse, go home and do it. Don't go around drunk and causing a scene in the hallway."

"If you keep shouting like that and disturbing the peace, I'm calling the police."

Zhang Yingbao was tough on Liang Yanhong and her family, but a complete coward to outsiders. He was a typical bully at home. When he saw the tall, muscular man next door with fists like big sandbags, he felt like a little chick in front of him.

Zhang Yingbao, half-sobered from the shock, quickly said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my wife is having a tantrum and won't let me in."

Hearing this, Liang Yanhong was afraid that Zhang Yingbao would blurt out something inappropriate and become a laughingstock among the neighbors, so she quickly opened the door and said, "Aren't you coming in? Don't you think you're embarrassing yourself enough?"

Then, with a forced smile, he said to the neighbor, "I'm sorry, brother, for causing you trouble. The child's father is drunk and acting crazy. Please don't take it to heart."

Seeing that Liang Yanhong was reasonable, the neighbors didn't say anything.

"Bang!"

Liang Yanhong was startled when she closed the door and turned around.

Because she saw Zhang Yingbao staring intently at her, she was frightened and quickly said, "Zhang Yingbao, what are you going to do? If you hit me again, I won't open the door for you anymore, and I'll make you a laughingstock in the hallway for the neighbors to see."

Zhang Yingbao grinned and said, "Wife, I can't bear to hit you. You've gotten so much more beautiful in just a few days. Hehe, it's been so long since we've had any marital relations."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yanhong trembled, her eyes filled with terror. In the past, Zhang Yingbao would often torment her when he was drunk, using all sorts of methods to torture her. If she didn't comply, he would punch and kick her, and then force her to cooperate in marital relations.

Zhang Yingbao grabbed Liang Yanhong and pulled her to the sofa, shoving his foul mouth at her face and tearing at her clothes...

Terrified, Liang Yanhong struggled while shouting, "Zhang Yingbao, don't do anything rash! Huanhuan will be back soon!"

Actually, Liang Yanhong didn't want Qin Huanhuan to come back tonight because she wanted Zhang Yingbao to behave himself and stop bullying her...

When Zhang Yingbao heard that Qin Huanhuan was coming back, he was indeed too scared to do anything rash. He wasn't afraid of Qin Huanhuan, but of Xiao Zhan. He still vividly remembered the scene when Shen Jun broke his leg and arm last time!

"Thump, thump, thump."

Suddenly, there were three knocks on the door.

Liang Yanhong pushed Zhang Yingbao away forcefully, looked at the door warily, and asked, "Who is it?"

Zhang Yingbao thought it was Qin Huanhuan who had returned, so he took the initiative to open the door in a flattering manner.

I saw a pretty girl standing at the door.

But it wasn't Qin Huanhuan.

Liang Yanhong recognized the girl; she was her daughter's college classmate, whom she had met a few times before.

So he stepped forward and asked, "Zhao Ruirui, are you here to see Huanhuan?"
