The next morning.

After a full rest, Qin Chaoyue came downstairs looking radiant, only to be stopped by a servant she didn't recognize.

The other person was pretty and pleasing to the eye: "Miss, I saw Young Master Jiang stuff the trash he brought back from the variety show into the cabinet."

Qin Chaoyue glanced sideways at her: "I understand, Aunt Ya—"

A housekeeper is someone who serves the master.

Butler Dongfang got up even earlier than Qin Chaoyue and had been standing next to her without saying a word until now when the topic came up.

Her gaze toward that person was extremely cold, even colder than Qin Chaoyue's voice at that moment.

Qin Chaoyue said calmly, "Take the person away and settle their wages for the past few days."

The young maid, who had initially looked delighted, was now completely flustered.

"Ms. Qin, you can't do this. I haven't done anything wrong. What you're doing is violating labor laws..."

Qin Chaoyue calmly asked, "You're trying to explain the law to me?"

The other party was very agitated: "What? Do you think you rich people can break the law? I can easily file for labor arbitration against you!"

Tsk.

During this rare period of rest, I even managed to run into "Xu Mucheng".

"Go ahead," Qin Chaoyue said calmly. She didn't want to argue with an idiot.

Meanwhile, the Eastern butler, along with others, had already dragged the loudly shouting maid out.

By criticizing the employer before the labor arbitration, she had already violated the contract.

Qin Chaoyue returned from abroad. Butler Dongfang had watched her grow up, and fearing that Jiang Lingye would feel uncomfortable staying there, she brought her back with her.

Although the Eastern Butler had some eccentric tastes, he was very efficient at handling matters.

"He's already been fired." The butler returned quickly, bowing his head in apology. "This kind of thing won't happen again."

Qin Chaoyue wouldn't blame the other party for a single oversight; she thought about it.

"Next time we recruit, let's add a questionnaire to investigate who the fans are."

"No rivals or haters."

Jiang Lingye: "..."

Jiang Lingye actually got up earlier than Qin Chaoyue, but the villa was too big, so he was not noticeable when he was huddled on the sofa in the living room, or perhaps others simply did not pay any attention to him.

"Don't be so harsh, okay? And if you feel ashamed of those things, I can..."

"Keep it if you like it," Qin Chaoyue interrupted.

She threw away the few "affordable" clothes she wore during the show's recording, while Jiang Lingye did the complete opposite, keeping the supermarket haul she had bought.

Especially the outfit she made for him; Jiang Lingye took a look when he packed it up, and it was folded so neatly.

Qin Chaoyue could probably understand what the other person was thinking.

First, the young man was used to being frugal and couldn't bear to throw things away.

Second, it has a different meaning for him.

"When you have so much stuff that you can't store it all, you can just buy a few more houses to house it."

The boy was unsure whether he was choked up or moved.

Qin Chaoyue added, "Or buy a junkyard? It's just scavenging. That's what those spendthrift kids are going to get into, and their parents will be ecstatic."

"..."

She knows how to ruin the mood.

Jiang Lingye retorted, not daring to raise his voice too much, "It's not trash..."

Breakfast had already been prepared, so Jiang Lingye didn't need to cook this time. The siblings chatted as they sat down in the dining room.

The dining table was large enough to hold many dishes, and although we were still sitting face to face, the distance between us suddenly felt much greater.

Qin Chaoyue said, "I spend money to make myself happy."

Jiang Lingye raised his head.

"So she can't take my money and then insult my brother in front of me."

"..."

Although it was somewhat despicable and petty, Jiang Lingye's mood suddenly brightened at that moment.

However, the saying "a poor man suddenly becomes rich" perfectly describes his current situation.

Jiang Lingye's eating manners were not unpleasant. He was born disliking causing trouble for others, had a strong learning ability, and was used to using benefits. However, his social circle was limited, and he could not learn the ways of the top.

In fact, since last night, sitting in this villa where every inch of land is precious, he has been intentionally learning Qin Chaoyue's dining etiquette.

Even now, I sneak a peek now and then, then lower my head and take a bite.

It's only because he has a good-looking face and clear eyes that he doesn't look like a thief.

Last night, besides being overjoyed that "he has an older sister," Jiang Lingye also kept an eye on information online.

It has nothing to do with him, of course.

Jiang Lingye said, "The former staff member who was arrested yesterday is named Yang Jian. I saw someone online reveal that he is not only a fan of Xu Mucheng, but also her high school classmate..."

“I know,” Qin Chaoyue said.

In fact, as the person who called the police, she had much more information than Jiang Lingye.

"The latest update this morning confirms that Yang Jian was indeed carrying sulfuric acid, and there were signs of an attempted attack. However, because the attack was stopped in time and no one was injured, he cannot be charged with intentional injury. Instead, he will be detained for disturbing public order and given education. In detention, he stated that this was solely his personal act and had nothing to do with anyone else. According to his account, his intended target was actually Luo Zibai, and he simply went the wrong way..."

Qin Chaoyue was not surprised by this result.

Her bodyguard intervened in time, and no harm was caused; therefore, Yang Jian's sentence will not be too severe.

She was just a pawn for Xu Mucheng; neither her nor anyone else's health was worth such a high price.

As for how Xu Mucheng was able to extricate himself from this matter so easily...

Qin Chaoyue was not surprised.

Putting aside the fact that God was protecting her, there were so many sycophants behind the female lead...

If they can't even handle this little thing, those men might as well hang themselves with a noodle.

Qin Chaoyue was very open-minded, but the mouse got angry!

"How can you do this!"

Qin Chaoyue glanced at him, still calm: "You can be angry, but don't smash my breakfast."

Jiang Lingye's voice suddenly weakened: "...Oh."

But actually, the noise he made when he slammed his fist on the table was very small, barely causing any vibration; it was just a subtle way of expressing his attitude.

Qin Chaoyue: "It's already good that no one is hurt."

The boy looked at her carefully again, stubbornly pursed his lips, and said with great reluctance, "But you were wronged."

Qin Chaoyue continued eating her breakfast elegantly, then glanced up at him: "Do you think I'd just let her off so easily?"

The mouse calmed down and stopped being angry.

wrong.

He pulled out his phone again and started typing away—

After the incident, Xu Mucheng immediately clarified, explained, and apologized on Weibo, shifting the blame and stating that he would definitely restrain his fans in the future.

It starts with "Sorry for taking up public resources" and ends with "US-China co-production...please support us!" [not really]

Although Jiang Lingye is both controversial and popular, he is indeed famous, with a huge fan base. He has chosen to repost this.

[JianglingyeV: Heh, apology for taking up space, why didn't you know better than to do it?]

—He's just a well-behaved puppy in front of his older sister, but he'll bite anyone else!

Aowowowow[○?`Д′?○]

The forwarding was just successfully completed, and Jiang Lingye didn't even have time to glance at the latest storm.

Qin Chaoyue tapped the table, reminding her, "Don't use your phone while eating."

"……Oh."

She seemed unwilling to let Jiang Lingye get involved in these disputes. "Has the new name been chosen yet?"

Jiang Lingye was taken aback: "Qin... Qin Lingye?"

No matter what Jiang Lingye was saying, Qin Chaoyue had been eating all along, but now she finally stopped to look at him.

Freeze.

His dark eyes were deep and unfathomable.

"I don't really care what your name is, but I'm afraid Qin Shi Huang might jump out of his mausoleum and beat you up."

"After finding out I was your older sister, you beat me up too, and maybe... our parents in the underworld as well."
