After breakfast, Ke Wenjie and Zhang Huizhi left the house together. Mo Kai Liang was tidying up in the kitchen while Lan Qingqing was getting ready in the bathroom.
As she applied her makeup, Lan Qingqing was in high spirits. She had just received a message from the real estate agent saying that the apartment she currently lived in was easy to sell. Even though the housing market was sluggish, there were still many buyers interested in apartments in this area due to its prime location.
In front of the dressing mirror, Lan Qingqing tried out different colored bags. Mo Kai Liang emerged from the kitchen and pointed to the entrance, reminding her that his cousin had asked him to return the keys to her and not to enter her home without permission to avoid any misunderstandings.
Mo Kai Liang looked a bit aggrieved; he felt that his relationship with Lan Qingqing was more significant than that of Ke Wenjie.
Lan Qingqing casually remarked to the mirror, "Ke Wenjie is just taking out his frustrations after being humiliated by Tong Le. He’s looking for a sense of presence here with you. But honestly, I’ve seen enough of him; he’s not impressive at all. I thought he could handle Tong Le, but it turns out he can't even manage a woman! I must have been blind to have misjudged him."
Mo Kai Liang leaned closer, feeling inexplicably pleased as he listened to Lan Qingqing belittle Ke Wenjie. The more she looked down on him, the more it highlighted Ke Wenjie's position in her mind.
"Does that mean you don't have any feelings for my cousin anymore?" Mo Kai Liang asked eagerly.
Lan Qingqing turned around, blinking her innocent double eyelids. The sparkles she applied at the corners of her eyes shimmered, making them look exceptionally bright and captivating to Mo Kai Liang.
"I’ve long lost any feelings for Ke Wenjie," she said. "And about those keys—there's no need for you to return them now. I’ve already put this apartment up for sale since it was bought by Ke Wenjie anyway. I can sell it whenever I want. The real estate agent will come by soon to show it, and after that, I’ll rent another place where you can live with me."
Mo Kai Liang's eyes lit up. "You mean we’ll live together? Really? Can this place actually sell? Didn’t they say the housing market is terrible right now?"
"The agent told me," Lan Qingqing replied confidently. "He said my apartment would sell well. Even though the entire housing market is down this year, our neighborhood is doing alright. Apparently, last month alone, seven or eight units sold! And May is almost over; five or six more units have sold!"
Mo Kai Liang exclaimed excitedly, "So once your apartment sells, it’ll just be the two of us living together? No cousin or Aunt?"
Lan Qingqing nodded. "Didn’t you say you’d do anything for me? I believed you."
Mo Kai Liang nodded vigorously. "I meant it!"
Lan Qingqing moved a little closer to him and reminded him playfully, "What about that promise you made me? How’s that going?"
His eyes were filled with unwavering determination as he replied, "I’ve started working on it. Aunt won’t be around much longer; those who hurt you will pay the price."
Lan Qingqing felt elated. Among Ke Wenjie, Zhang Huizhi, and Tong Le, she hated Zhang Huizhi the most. While Ke Wenjie had given her some money—though not much—it was still something; and Tong Le had once been a sister who had never harmed her. But Zhang Huizhi took advantage of her status as a mother-in-law to bully others and commit all sorts of wrongdoings!
Lan Qingqing certainly wouldn’t get her hands dirty herself; she wouldn’t sully her own hands for that scum Zhang Huizhi—she simply needed her to disappear from her world!
She gently kissed Mo Kai Liang on the cheek, knowing this tactic would be very effective on him.
"Once I sell this place and get rid of both Ke Wenjie and Zhang Huizhi as burdens," she praised him, "I’ll take you away."
Mo Kai Liang nodded vigorously. "I’ll work hard! I’ll do everything to give you what you want!"
On the other side, at Tongshan Real Estate Company, the auditing work was still ongoing, proceeding in an orderly manner. Tong Le arrived at the company early, eating a packed breakfast while working in the Office Lobby. Jiang Zhichao also came to the company early to keep her company.
Ke Wenjie and Zhang Huizhi walked into the office, their gazes fixed on Tong Le like wolves ready to pounce. Jiang Zhichao muttered quietly, "Here comes trouble again."
Tong Le stood up and walked towards Ke Wenjie, positioning herself confidently in front of both Ke Wenjie and Zhang Huizhi without a hint of fear. She glanced at the gauze on Ke Wenjie's head and casually asked, "Is your wound okay?"
Zhang Huizhi exploded with rage, "What do you need to pretend for? You heartless wretch! You shameless whore!"
Tong Le slowly turned her gaze towards Zhang Huizhi, her eyes delivering a warning that brooked no offense. Over the years, she had never looked at Zhang Huizhi with such intensity. The slightly chilling stare caught Zhang Huizhi off guard.
Tong Le spoke up, "I'll only give you this warning once. If you speak to me disrespectfully again, I will handle it through official channels. This isn't your home; understand your current position. You lost two million in cash and still dare to come to my company and spout nonsense? Do you really think the police consider this a domestic issue?"
