. Now, you should lie down obediently and get some rest." Tong Yimo gently soothed Leng Yeshen who was talking incoherently after drinking.How much did he drink today He actually got everyone else dru...“If you don’t want to be brought back by me, you better come back here obediently!” Qin Lie snarled after finishing his words, then hung up the phone.

Qin Nianxia put down her phone, looking at the "call ended" on the screen, and let out a speechless sigh.

After that, she drove back to the Qin family villa.

As soon as I entered the living room, I saw Song Erqin wiping her tears with a tissue. Qin Lie stood beside her, his face dark.

In the house, there was no sign of Song Yunxi. Qin Nianxia was truly quite baffled, wondering what tricks this woman, Song Erqin, was up to.

"From today onwards, you are to stay home and go nowhere." Qin Lie said with a stern face.

Qin Nianxia immediately widened her eyes in disbelief and questioned, "Why"

"What do you think you're doing" Qin Lie narrowed his dark eyes, his brows furrowed as he angrily rebuked, "To make Erqin divorce me and to get revenge on Xiaoxi, you shamelessly seduced Leng Yanchen Xiaxia, is this something a girl like you should do"

"So that's what you wanted to tell me. Now that it's said, I'm leaving!" Qin Nianxia was too lazy to explain to Qin Lie.

She turned to leave.

Qin Lie issued a command: “Come here, confine the young mistress to the attic!”

"What"

Qin Nianxia hadn't even had time to react when she was lifted into the air by two burly male bodyguards who suddenly burst in from outside.

"Daddy, you can't do this! You command them to let me go! I still have things to do! Daddy!"

Qin Nianxia struggled desperately, but to no avail.

Her strength was simply not enough to overpower the two bodyguards.

Ultimately, he was forced to be locked in the attic by Qin Lie's men.

In the living room, Song Erqin wiped her tears while secretly smiling.

Qin Lie sat down beside her and comforted, "Xia Xia's mother and I divorced after she was born. Xia Xia grew up without any discipline, which led to her current bad personality. Erqin, I'm sorry for what you and Xiao Xi have gone through this time."

"It's all my fault. I always treated Xiaxia like my own daughter, but I must have done something wrong. That's why Xiaxia has never accepted me." Song Erqin sobbed.

Qin Lie gently patted Song Erqin's back: "If you and Xiao Xi really can't get along with Xiaxia, I'll send Xiaxia abroad."

"Are you sending Xiaxia away" Song Erqin was shocked and suddenly stopped crying.

Qin Lie frowned and said earnestly, "Xia Xia, if you stay, this family won't be at peace."

"Actually, there's no need to send XiaXia away. I'll find a way to persuade XiaXia and let her accept me as her stepmother." Song Erqin said in a low voice.

Qin Lie still resolutely said: "I should still send Xia Xia away, she worries me too much."

In fact, he was afraid Xiaxia would ruin his plans.

Song Erqin saw Qin Lie send Qin Nianxia away, her heart was set. She no longer persuaded, but said with melancholy, "I hope Xia Xia can understand our parents' painstaking efforts."

And right now, Qin Nianxia, trapped in the attic, hated Song Erqin to her core.

Needless to say, Song Erqin must have been badmouthing me to her father.

Qin Nianxia looked at the sealed window, growing increasingly angry.

What on earth did she do wrong

Daddy should treat her this way.

Qin Nianxia simply sat on the ground, hugging her arms, and began to ponder ways to escape.

On the other side.

Cold Yanchen, following instructions, went to meet Cao Yinghao.sides the wall acting as her only support, she was practically clinging to him completely."I don't care if you gain weight," Leng Ye Chen Ren said with a smile."Hmph! Really" Tong Yimo scoffed, "If I...
