Chapter 111

At the same time, Yang Chen had already sent Qin Xi and Xiaoxiao back to the Qin Family Courtyard.

As soon as the family of three stepped through the door, they were greeted by a delicious aroma of cooking.

"Xiao Xi, why are you all back so late? I've been cooking for a while now. Go wash your hands quickly, and I'll heat up the dishes first." Zhou Yucui was very attentive and carried the dishes to heat them.

After the morning's lesson, Zhou Yucun was apprehensive all day, fearing that her two daughters would no longer give her a penny.

Before her daughter got off work, she had cooked a table full of dishes with her own hands.

"We've already eaten outside." Qin Xi responded coldly, then went upstairs.

"Little Xi, I've done so much, what if you guys don't eat this? You could just eat a little less!" Zhou Yucui said hurriedly.

Ke Qinxi simply ignored her plan and pulled Xiaoxiao back to the room.

Soon, Qin Yi also returned home. Just like before, every time she got home, she would happily call out: "Mom, I'm back!"

But today, she remained completely silent. Zhou Yucui called her for dinner, but she didn't even bother to speak, simply returning to her room.

Zhou Y cui's face was ever-changing, clearly very angry, but thinking of the money her two daughters gave her every month, she had to suppress her anger.

Yang Chen walked out after washing his hands, looked at the table full of dishes and said with a smile, "Mom, your cooking is still the best. Just smelling it makes me feel hungry!"

Yang Chen said as he went to the kitchen. When he came out with a large bowl of rice, he found that all the dishes on the table were gone. Zhou Y cutrui was just pouring the last dish into the trash can.

Seeing this scene, Yang Chen's mouth twitched.

He wasn't hungry, he just wanted to use this opportunity to ease the tension with his mother-in-law, but he didn't expect his good intentions to be misinterpreted.

"Mom, how did you pour out all the vegetables?" Yang Chen asked with a smile.

Zhou Y cui glared fiercely at Yang Chen: "Even if I cook dog food, I won't feed it to you."

Having said that, she snatched the rice bowl from Yang Chen's hand, poured the rice into the trash can, and turned to leave.

Yang Chen's heart rose with a hint of anger. Zhou Yucui was practically insulting him.

But thinking of Qin Xi and Xiao Xiao, he had to quell his anger again.

"I'm afraid that no matter how much I do, she will never overcome her contempt for me deep down."

Yang Chen let out a self-deprecating smile, then turned and walked upstairs.

"Did your mother show you some face again?" Qin Xi asked.

Yang Chen shook his head and smiled: "No!"

"Still not saying anything, your face is clearly off," Qin Xibai glared at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen just smiled and didn't explain.

Just then, Qin Xi's phone suddenly rang.

As soon as the call connected, she heard a familiar voice: "Xiaoxi, come to the Nightless City quickly and save your father! If you don't come soon, your father will be crippled."

"Dad, what's wrong?" Qin Xi instantly changed her expression and asked anxiously.

“You must be Qin Dayong’s daughter, right? Your father owes 5 million to the Not Night City and another guest 1 million. In half an hour, if you don't show up with the money to redeem him, just wait for us to collect his body!” Suddenly, another unfamiliar voice came.

After saying that, the other person hung up the phone.

"What happened?" Seeing Qin Xi's dazed expression, I hurriedly asked.

Qin Xihong's eyes were red as she spoke, "My father is in the Never-Ending City. He owes six million yuan. The other party said that if he doesn't go to redeem him within half an hour, they will kill my father!"

Yang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he didn't know what the Never-Ending City was, just from the name, he figured it must be a place of entertainment.

"Something's definitely fishy here. How could my dad possibly owe so much money all of a sudden? But where am I going to find five million to bail him out?" Qin Xi was close to tears, her face etched with panic.

Yang Chen asked, "Dad, has there been anything unusual these past few days?"

"

Lately, he either doesn't come home or comes home drunk.
