Chapter 582: Drive Away

When Mrs. Qin saw him return, looking all dejected and miserable, she knew exactly what had happened.

He’d gotten into another fight with Gao Lan.

Annoyed, she said, "What are you doing here again?"

"I... I want to stay here for a few days—"

The moment the words left Qin Wenze’s mouth, Mrs. Qin vehemently objected. "Absolutely not. You can’t stay here. Leave, now. There’s no room for you in this house anymore. And don’t even think about it in the future."

Her eyes and face were filled with blatant disgust.

Qin Wenze was stunned.

He tried to explain, "Mom, I had a fight with Gao Lan. I just want to stay here for a few days—"

"I don’t give a damn if you’re fighting with her or a brick wall. That’s between you two. It’s your problem, so don’t come bothering us. I told you last time: once you moved out, you weren’t to come back here."

"I won’t say anything if you come to see Yu Yu and Qiaoqiao, but you are absolutely not staying here."

Mrs. Qin had no intention of letting her indecisive eldest son move back in.

’If he moves in and refuses to leave, how long will it be before Gao Lan tries to move in, too?’

’It was hard enough getting them to move out in the first place, only for them to come right back.’

’What was the point of all that trouble, then?’

"Also, are you and your wife fighting because your sister bought a house?"

Qin Wenze blushed slightly. "Yes, that’s it... She thinks you bought the house for her, that you’re playing favorites—"

Mrs. Qin sneered. "You idiot. Can’t you keep your mouth shut?"

’We just talked about it, and he went straight home and told Gao Lan.’

Seeing his mother had misunderstood, Qin Wenze quickly explained, "Mom, it wasn’t me! I hadn’t even gotten in the door before Gao Lan cornered me in the alleyway—"

Mrs. Qin knew he wasn’t lying, so she didn’t press the issue.

But she was still angry.

"I swear, are you two obsessed with Mingxue? Anytime she gets something nice, you both turn green with envy. And she gets this jealous even though Mingxue bought the house herself. Even if I *had* given it to her, what in the world does that have to do with either of you?"

"Let me make this crystal clear for you again. The money your father and I have is *our* money, and we have every right to decide how to spend it. Furthermore, even if there’s a portion set aside for you, it will never end up in your hands. I’ll only leave it to Yu Yu and Qiaoqiao."

"So, you and your wife can earn your own money and spend it however you want. Your father and I don’t need you to support us in our old age, and Yu Yu and Qiaoqiao don’t need your money to be raised. So stop spending all day long scheming for the Qin family’s money."

"If this doesn’t stop, I’ll just have your father write a letter of disownment. At least then you and your wife will stop fighting over the Qin family’s money all the time."

Mrs. Qin was truly furious now.

She wasn’t even asking Qin Wenze for money to raise his two children.

And yet, he and his wife were just relentless.

Mingxue was a capable woman; she was going to have plenty of good things in the future. Was Gao Lan going to be jealous every single time?

The moment Qin Wenze heard the word "disownment," the color drained from his face.

"Mom, please don’t say things like that. I have absolutely no designs on the Qin family’s money. It’s Gao Lan—"

Mrs. Qin cut him off. "Don’t you talk to me about Gao Lan. Haven’t you realized you’re a huge part of the problem yourself?"

"That’s enough. I don’t want to talk about this anymore. Just go. If you move back in, Gao Lan will be here tomorrow raising hell. Your grandparents are old; they can’t take that kind of commotion. If something happened to them, could you live with yourself?"
