Qin Mei said nothing, simply tilting her head to lean on Jie Jingchen's shoulder. He held a palm-leaf fan and thoughtfully fanned her.
A deeply mocking expression crossed Jie Jingwei's face. "Coming to my mother-in-law's house to rest? What are you two plotting?"
This couple had completely destroyed his family's happy life and even kicked him out of his home. It would be a lie to say he didn't hate them. No matter how tempting his father's promises were, he still felt deeply resentful.
'Everyone in the family sides with them. Even my own sister is on their side.' The feeling of being isolated by his closest relatives made him feel utterly helpless.
He didn't care about that courtyard of Qiao Yanqiu's, but her actions chilled him to the bone. His sister, who had married far away, still got a piece of the pie, while he, the eldest son of the Jie Family, didn't even get a bathroom.
"Is this your mother-in-law's house?" Jie Jingchen asked, his tone infuriatingly nonchalant.
