Reborn with the ability to read minds, I became a heartthrob.

When Zhou Liwan returned to the Zhou family home, she was surprised to find Zhou Qingya there as well.

She subconsciously raised an eyebrow and leaned lazily against the wall: "What, Father, you still can't hide it anymore and want to bring your illegitimate daughter back?"

Zhou's father had just returned from the police station and had to pay a large sum of compensation, so he was already in a bad mood. Zhou Liwan's sarcastic expression made him even more unpleasant.

He lowered his voice and scolded, "Alright, stop making these sarcastic remarks. Don't you know what happened to Zhou Qingya?"

Now Zhou Liwan was truly innocent, and she retorted angrily, "She doesn't really think that just because we share the same surname, Zhou, I have to treat her with utmost care, does she?"

Zhou Jianguo finally couldn't hold back any longer. He had been humiliated outside, did he really have to suffer the same way at home? "Shut up! If you hadn't said those nonsense things to Young Master Chen, would he have gone to provoke Qingya today?"

Zhou Liwan's eyes suddenly turned as cold as ice.

If she could still tolerate it before, she was now completely enraged by Zhou Jianguo's distorted values: "So you mean I should pretend I don't know that my fiancé is having an affair with other women, and continue to let those shameless sluts seduce him?"

Hearing Zhou Liwan's vile insults, Zhou Qingya stood up angrily and roared at Zhou Liwan, "Who are you calling a slut? Who are you calling a slut!"

Zhou Liwan didn't want to stay there any longer to correct their filthy values. She turned to leave but stopped. "I didn't name names, so you don't need to be so eager to admit it. I'll say it again: as long as I'm here, you and your prostitute mother can forget about living in the Zhou family. Get out of here right now, or the consequences..."

Although Zhou Liwan was looking at Zhou Qingya, her words were clearly meant for Zhou Jianguo.

She knew the other party would understand what she meant. Now she was Zhou's panacea, and if he offended her, he wouldn't get away with it.

After Zhou Liwan's figure completely disappeared from the lobby on the first floor, Zhou Jianguo sighed and walked helplessly to Zhou Qingya's side: "I'll have the driver take you home. Go back and get some rest. Don't go out and cause any more trouble."

Zhou Qingya stared wide-eyed in disbelief, and said domineeringly, "Dad, you said you'd let me stay here tonight. Just because of one sentence from Zhou Liwan, you're going to kick me out in the middle of the night? On what grounds?"

Zhou Jianguo was also tired and didn't want to argue anymore: "Your mother isn't my wife yet, and this family has nothing to do with you!"

Zhou Qingya was shocked by Zhou Jianguo's words and her face turned pale instantly. She felt a wave of fear wash over her.

She cursed herself for being foolish, thinking that Zhou Jianguo's few words in front of Zhou Liwan meant he loved her.

In reality, he only loves himself. The reason why his mother and he themselves receive so little tenderness and kindness from him is because they know how to show weakness.

With red eyes, Zhou Qingya carefully pulled Zhou Jianguo's arm and said coquettishly, "Dad, I was wrong. Don't be angry. I'll go back right now."

Zhou Jianguo's attitude softened, and his voice became much gentler: "Alright, you should hurry up and leave. If you stay any longer, you'll disturb your mother's rest. She's pregnant, so you should take good care of her."

Although Zhou Qingya inwardly scoffed at the thought that his wife was pregnant and he had to take care of her, he still obediently nodded on the surface.

As Zhou Qingya got into the car and it started moving, she subconsciously looked towards Zhou Liwan's bedroom, only to see a slender and graceful figure standing by the bed, striking a victorious pose and looking at her triumphantly.

Zhou Qingya angrily clenched her bag, furious that Zhou Liwan was so lucky, managing to evade all her attempts.

But so what? She'll always find a thousand ways to deal with her; it's just a matter of time.

Only after realizing this did Zhou Qingya's bag escape unscathed.

The early autumn evening breeze still carried some warmth, and when it blew gently by, it made people sigh with comfort.

Zhou Liwan stretched and returned to her room contentedly.

She had naturally seen Zhou Qingya's true colors, but whether she could deal with her would depend on whether Zhou Qingya had the ability.

Don't let yourself down.

When Zhou Qingya arrived at the apartment, Han Xiaofen was still sitting in the living room watching TV.

On the table were the fruits and snacks that the aunt had prepared for her before she left work.

Her smugness was no different from that of a wealthy woman, except that she lacked a marriage certificate.

Zhou Qingya sat down next to her mother, looking resentful. Han Xiaofen immediately turned off the TV and asked, "How did it go? Young Master Chen took so long to come back after asking you out. Did he succeed? Did he use protection when he did it?"

Zhou Qingya couldn't bring herself to speak after hearing these words. She told Han Xiaofen that not only had she failed, but she had also been ruthlessly abandoned by the other party.

Han Xiaofen looked at her daughter with excitement and anticipation in her eyes, but she didn't say anything for a long time. She assumed that her daughter was just shy and embarrassed. She said, "Tell me quickly, did you use a condom? If you didn't, then you will have a chance to marry into the Chen family. In that case, you won't have to go through what your mother did."

Zhou Qingya lowered her head and whispered, "Young Master Chen told me not to contact him anymore. He also said that he only brought me to the charity gala because he wanted to do me a favor, and that he didn't mean anything else by it."

Han Xiaofen could hardly believe her ears. She shook her head and repeatedly protested, "No, no, you've been gone for so long and only just came back. How could nothing have happened?"

Zhou Qingya whispered, "Because the police took me away. They said I damaged restaurant property and are demanding compensation..."

Han Xiaofen suddenly stood up, her vision went black, and her body swayed uncontrollably. Zhou Qingya was so frightened that she quickly stood up to steady her: "Mom, but I didn't come away empty-handed. Chen Jinghuai is having a birthday party next Tuesday. We can definitely go there then and find an opportunity to make it a done deal."

Han Xiaofen sat down for a while before slowly saying, "For banquets like those of rich young masters, which one doesn't require an invitation to get in? Do you really think it's your elementary school classmate's birthday party, where it's just a matter of knocking on the door?"

Zhou Qingya was anxious, her eyes reddening: "What should we do, Mom? He made it clear this time that he doesn't want to see me again. If we don't seize this opportunity, Zhou Liwan will completely dominate us! Why should Dad give her such a good marriage? I'm his daughter too, why doesn't he ever worry about my marriage!"

A shadow of gloom flashed in Han Xiaofen's eyes. After pondering for a while, she said, "We'll go to the villa in a couple of days. The Chen family should send an invitation to that bitch Zhou Liwan. You have to make the most of this opportunity. If you don't get it, it's your own fault for not being good enough!"

A dark light flashed in Zhou Qingya's eyes, and she nodded excitedly: "I definitely won't fail this time."
