Chapter 15: Kicking Someone to the Curb

Seeing this, Qin Qinghan's heart tightened, but then Ye Fengwu frowned and said, "What's for dinner? I'm starving. I didn't even have lunch."

Qin Qinghan let out a sigh of relief, feeling guilty as well. She had been so focused on work that she forgot Ye Fengwu and Jiang Hao hadn't eaten lunch.

"I'm sorry, I'll cook right away." She hurried into the kitchen, and soon the sound of chopping vegetables could be heard.

At this moment, Jing Si approached Ye Fengwu. Despite her young age, she could clearly feel the kindness from this uncle who was also so powerful.

With a hint of admiration, she asked, "Uncle, are you sleeping on the sofa again tonight?"

Seeing Jing Si approaching, Ye Fengwu put out his cigarette and forced a bitter smile, "That depends on whether your mom is kind enough."

The little girl bit her lip and said sweetly, "I can put in a good word for you with Mom, but don't get your hopes up too high."

Moved by her offer, Ye Fengwu's heart warmed. He kissed Jing Si on the cheek, intending to lift her onto his lap, but she quickly ran off, laughing.

"Uncle, you smell bad. I'm going to do my homework."

With that, Jing Si ran into her room.

Ye Fengwu raised his arm and sniffed, frowning. He sighed, thinking he should have asked Lin Qiang to prepare more camouflage outfits. He hadn't bathed in two days, and his clothes hadn't been changed either.

...

In the Qin family's villa, Qin Guangnan was leisurely sipping tea in the living room.

Suddenly, Qin Fei rushed in, looking incredulous. "Dad, that Qin Qinghan actually secured the project with Fenghao Engineering."

Qin Guangnan was equally stunned. He frowned, "Are you sure?"

Given Qin Guangnan's understanding of Fenghao Real Estate, those who have long been entrenched in the underworld are not easy to deal with. Although the Qin family had some status in Haihua City, Fenghao Real Estate shouldn't have taken them seriously.

Qin Fei scoffed, "She must have used her body to get it. With her looks, there's no way Jin Bao would let her off."

Qin Guangnan nodded, "Hmph, who knew Qinghan's ruined body could still be useful. Now that the project is secured, take over all projects from Qinghan tomorrow."

Qin Fei smiled maliciously, "So you want to fire her, huh? Once she's desperate, she'll beg you to marry her off to Zhang Ge."

"But she got the project. What reason do we have to sideline her?"

Qin Guangnan sneered, "Our family won't accept a rapist as a son-in-law. So, she either marries Zhang Ge or goes home to live with a rapist."

Qin Fei gave Qin Guangnan a thumbs-up with a sinister grin.

...

The next morning, Ye Fengwu was still asleep on the narrow sofa when a slight noise woke him.

He opened his eyes to see Qin Qinghan standing in front of him in white pajamas.

Seeing him awake, she apologized, "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you."

Qin Qinghan always maintained a certain distance from Ye Fengwu, making him uncomfortable. She treated him like an enemy.

But Ye Fengwu smiled, "It's fine. I don't have a habit of sleeping in anyway."

He glanced at the narrow sofa beneath him. It was impossible to feel like sleeping in on such a small, uncomfortable couch.

Qin Qinghan suddenly handed him a few bills, her expression complex. "Here's five hundred yuan. Use it to buy some clothes. When I get my commission, I'll give you more."

She knew Ye Fengwu had friends like Jiang Hao, but since he had just been released from prison, he was probably penniless. His camouflage outfit hadn't been changed in two days.

Ye Fengwu almost told her he had money, but he accepted the five hundred yuan with a grin. "Thanks, honey!"

It was the first time his wife had given him money, so he planned to save it.

After breakfast, Qin Qinghan told her parents to look after the child and prepared to leave. She had a busy day ahead, with many plans to make.

"Honey, come back early. You promised to get our marriage certificate today," Ye Fengwu called out.

At the doorway, Qin Qinghan stumbled at his words, almost tripping over the threshold.

Today, she had dressed up a bit, drawing her eyebrows and applying some lipstick. With her already stunning looks, she appeared even more radiant.

Her grandfather and uncle always pushed her aside, but yesterday, with Ye Fengwu's help, she secured the Fenghao project. They would surely change their attitude towards her, she thought.

Half an hour later, Qin Qinghan arrived at the Qin Group office. Just as she reached the reception desk, Qin Fei intercepted her.

She handed him the signed contract. "Uncle, this is the contract between the Qin Group and Fenghao Engineering. I need to organize a meeting and lead a team of executives to the project site today."

Qin Fei took the contract and said flatly, "Since the contract is signed, you have two choices: kick out that rapist and marry Zhang Gongzi, or pack your things and go home to live with the rapist."

At that moment, a security guard threw a box full of her belongings to the ground.

Seeing this, Qin Qinghan realized Qin Fei was discarding her after using her. She risked her life to secure the contract, and now he was kicking her out.

"Uncle, how could you..." Even with her good temper, Qin Qinghan was furious at the Qin family's actions.

Qin Fei sneered, "Qin Qinghan, with a marriage alliance between our family and the Zhangs, we'll prosper even more. You'll be a wealthy wife. Don't miss this great opportunity."

Qin Qinghan's eyes were full of ridicule. Despite bringing great benefits to the company, they wouldn't spare her.

They always saw her as a tool for the family's benefit.

Ye Fengwu might be a rapist, someone she disliked from the underworld, but he genuinely liked Jing Si. Marrying Zhang Ge meant abandoning Jing Si.

So, in her heart, she had only one choice.

Qin Fei continued, "Your grandfather wants what's best for you. Giving up Jing Si is better than living with a rapist."

Qin Qinghan laughed bitterly, then picked up the box and left the Qin Group office.

She was smart enough to know staying would change nothing and might even lead to being thrown out by security. So, leaving decisively was the best option.

Her resoluteness made Qin Fei frown. He muttered venomously, "Your family crippled my son. I'll ruin your family."
