"Xiaoyu, what nonsense are you talking about!" Qi Yue scolded in a low voice, feigning anger.

Qi Yu quickly covered his mouth with his hand, "Oh, I'm sorry, big brother, I didn't mean it. I was just worried about your lifelong happiness. If the Jiang family really breaks off the engagement, it will be very embarrassing for both you and our Qi family."

"Qi Yu!" Qi Yue issued another lukewarm warning.

Qi Yu playfully stuck out her tongue, feigning an obedient and apologetic look, "Okay, I won't say anything more."

Qi Yue sighed helplessly and indulgently, shaking his head and saying, "Big brother, Xiaoyu is becoming more and more unruly because of our indulgence."

I thought Qi Huan would just laugh it off as usual, but to my surprise, although he still had a smile on his face this time, he said something harsh that I never expected: "Indeed, since my legs became crippled, Xiao Yu has become more and more outrageous. She speaks more and more recklessly in front of me, and even dares to say things like whether I can have children. She seems to have forgotten that she is just an adopted daughter of the Qi family. It's time to teach her some manners."

Qi Yue was slightly taken aback.

I never expected him to say such hurtful things today.

Upon hearing Qi Huan mention that she was merely an adopted daughter of the Qi family and that she needed to be disciplined, Qi Yu's expression showed a slight displeasure.

"Big brother, I'll definitely discipline him properly later..."

Before Qi Yue could finish speaking, Qi Huan interrupted him directly: "No need to turn back, just discipline him now, Cheng Jing."

That one sound, "[Cheng Jing]", was a gentle voice tinged with a deep chill.

"Yes, Master."

Cheng Jing released the wheelchair, strode over to Qi Yu, and slapped her across the face while she was still confused.

"what!"

Qi Yu screamed and fell to the ground. After regaining her senses, she covered her burning face with both hands and stared at Cheng Jing in disbelief.

Qi Huan looked down at her and smiled gently, "Xiao Yu, don't think you're the third young lady of the Qi family just because you've been called the third young lady for a long time. Remember, you're just an orphan that Qi Yue brought back from the orphanage. If I hadn't taken pity on you and agreed to let you stay in the Qi family with Qi Yue, you would still be fighting for food with others in the orphanage."

Qi Yue's slightly narrowed eyes flashed with a cold light, but he quickly regained his smiling expression and said, "Big brother used to love and spoil Xiaoyu very much. This time, Xiaoyu was just playing a little joke on big brother. Why would it make big brother so angry?"

Qi Huan still had a faint smile on her face and replied leisurely, "Only jokes that I find funny are real jokes. If I don't find them funny, then they can't be called jokes. Just like my dog, it can only make a sound when I allow it to bark."

Qi Yu stared wide-eyed at Qi Huan with a face full of humiliation and pain, her eyes filled with anger and resentment.

However, she could only suppress her anger and dared not easily utter a rebuttal.

Qi Yue glanced at Qi Yu, then turned to her and said sternly, "Did you hear that, Xiao Yu? Don't joke around in front of your older brother anymore!"

At this moment, Qi Yu was still covering her cheek, in too much pain to open her mouth to speak, and could only nod.

Qi Huan maintained her gentle smile and said softly, "Alright, you know you were wrong, just don't do it again next time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved. Upon receiving the instruction, Cheng Jing immediately turned the wheelchair around and slowly pushed Qi Huan towards the backyard.

"That traitor Qi Yu, if it weren't for the young master taking pity on her, would she, an orphan, be able to live as a young lady in the Qi family? Now that the old master has decided to postpone the announcement of the heir because of your leg, she actually dares to turn her back on you and mock you!"

"And the second young master is also heartless. Back then, because the fortune teller said he was a nemesis and would affect the Qi family's fortune, the old master insisted on sending him away. If it weren't for the young master's consideration for his brother and his repeated pleas for the old master to bring him back, he would still be living a life of hardship outside! But not only is he ungrateful, he also keeps blaming you for being sent away and is even willing to go to great lengths to fight you for the position of heir!"

Qi Huan suppressed her smile and ran her fingers along the armrest of the wheelchair.

Yes, he still couldn't understand how Qi Yue, his own brother, could hate him so much.

He really couldn't figure it out.

Is it really just for the sake of being the heir to the Qi family?

If he had known from the beginning that Qi Yue so desperately wanted to become the heir of the Qi family, as the eldest brother, he could have prevented it.

But now that Qi Yue is willing to take his life for the sake of the heir, then he shouldn't blame Qi Yue for disregarding brotherly affection!

……

After watching Qi Huan walk away, Qi Yu said unwillingly, "Brother! Why did he hit me? And he said I'm not the third young lady of the Qi family. I'm clearly Dad's biological daughter! Brother, when can I openly and honestly reveal my identity?"

Qi Yue withdrew his gaze, gently patted Qi Yu's shoulder, and comforted her, "Xiao Yu, don't worry."

Qi Yu turned her head, her eyes brimming with tears, and looked at Qi Yue, choking back sobs as she said, "Brother, how can I not be anxious? Look at how much Qi Huan looked down on me today!"

Qi Yue gently stroked Qi Yu's hair and said tenderly, "Xiao Yu, just hang in there a little longer. Once I have completely replaced Qi Huan as the heir of the Qi family, I will secretly get rid of him, and then you will be able to rightfully become the third young lady of the Qi family."

Qi Yu gripped Qi Yue's hand tightly, tears streaming down her face. She sobbed, "Yes, brother, you must kill Qi Huan for me!"

"Of course, I will definitely avenge you." Qi Yue sighed. "However, it's not good to act too quickly now. Qi Huan probably already suspects me, and it won't be so easy for me to make a move now. We need to plan our actions against Qi Huan more carefully."

Qi Yu's eyes were filled with resentment, "Qi Huan is really lucky, he didn't even kill him last time!"

Qi Yue reassured him, "No matter what, the fact that the old man hasn't announced the Qi family's heir yet means that he's still debating whether to continue making Qi Huan the heir. We've at least achieved half of our goal."

Qi Yu nodded, her eyes hardening. "He's already a cripple. The old man isn't that crazy to let a cripple be the heir of the Qi family."

With a look of confidence in his eyes, Qi Yue said, "Yes, Xiaoyu, just bear with it a little longer, we'll get through this soon."

……

Jiang Youli returned to her room, put the agreement to sever ties into her desk drawer, and then went to the bathroom for a relaxing bath.

After taking a bath, Little Whitey climbed in through the window with a red cell phone curled up behind its tail, and then placed the fallen phone next to Jiang Youli.

Jiang Youli was drying her hair by the bedside when she picked up her phone and praised with a smile, "Xiaobai is really great!"

Having received praise, Little White raised its head with high spirits, rolled around on the bed a few times, and then slipped away to show off to Little Black and Little Green.

The three snakes she kept each had their own specialties.

Xiao Hei excels at surprise attacks and poisoning people.

Xiaobai is good at searching and tracking.
