When the elevator doors opened, Zhou Hong saw at a glance that several uninvited guests had arrived at his doorstep, and Qin Mengxue was arguing with them.
These uninvited guests were none other than Qin Mengxue’s maternal grandfather, her mother Chen Mei, and several other elders from the Qin family. Qin Mengxue’s father, Qin Changhui, was nowhere to be seen.
Qin Mengxue was crying and said, "Don't force me, I have nothing to do with you anymore."
Zhou Hong and Qiao Xiaoyu didn't rush forward but paused in the elevator hall.
"Mengxue, do you still recognize me as your mother? If not, I'll drink this for you to see today." At this moment, Qin Mengxue's mother, Chen Mei, threatened them with a bottle of pesticide in her hand.
"Mom? Why are you doing this?" Qin Mengxue asked, crying.
"In short, do you want to return to the family? If you don't, I'll die for you to see."
"Wuwuwu...!" Qin Mengxue cried painfully. She hadn't expected her family to find her here and force her to return. They were forcing her to return precisely because of her relationship with Zhou Hong.
"Xiao Xue, don't cry. No matter what, you carry the blood of the Qin family. Now that you have such a good relationship with Zhou Hong, if you are willing to return to the family, it will also drive our family's development. I hope you won't act impulsively, after all, your parents are still in the family." At this time, another elder from the Qin family also advised.
"Wuwuwu!" Qin Mengxue felt wronged. They had expelled her from the family before, and now they were begging her to come back. If she didn't, her mother would threaten to commit suicide.
Zhou Hong, standing in the elevator hall, couldn't listen any longer and immediately walked into the corridor.
Qin Mengxue was stunned when she saw Zhou Hong and Qiao Xiaoyu return, and she quickly wiped away her tears.
"Greetings, Senior Zhou Hong." The people from the Qin family immediately greeted Zhou Hong politely.
Qin Mengxue's maternal grandfather also quickly bowed to Zhou Hong: "Greetings, Senior Zhou."
Even Qin Mengxue's mother bowed deeply to Zhou Hong, calling out, "Greetings, Senior."
For some reason, Zhou Hong felt disgusted.
"Why are you here at my place?" Zhou Hong asked irritably. Sudannovel.com
"We are here to persuade Mengxue to return to the family. Expelling her before was just a moment of anger. We apologize for disturbing you; it is indeed unforgivable." said Qin Mengxue's maternal grandfather.
"Hmph! Do you think I don't know your intentions? Seeing that Qin Mengxue has a good relationship with me, and her martial cultivation talent is quite strong now, you want to call her back. I've never seen a family like yours." Zhou Hong sneered.
"Senior is right, we will reflect on ourselves in the future." A Qin family elder quickly lowered his head and said. They were extremely respectful in front of Zhou Hong and dared not show any disrespect.
"Qin Mengxue, you choose. If you want to go back, then don't interact with me anymore, and don't contact Xiao Yu." Zhou Hong threatened, looking at Qin Mengxue.
Qin Mengxue cried, "Wuwu..." If she didn't go back, her mother would drink Paraquat and die for her to see. Her mother was still holding a bottle of Paraquat. Although she could snatch it away now, her mother would still drink it later if she went back.
However, if she went back, Zhou Hong would break off all contact with her.
"Zhou Hong, why are you forcing Mengxue like this?" Qiao Xiaoyu said, unable to bear it.
"Mengxue, don't mind Zhou Hong, go home. We'll still be good friends, and you can come to us anytime." Qiao Xiaoyu walked up, holding Qin Mengxue's hand to comfort her, not wanting her to be in a difficult situation.
Zhou Hong was also helpless; Qiao Xiaoyu was too soft-hearted.
"Let's go, Mengxue, we're going home." Chen Mei quickly pulled Qin Mengxue's hand and walked towards the elevator.
Zhou Hong saw that Chen Mei was holding a bottle of Paraquat in her other hand.
Zhou Hong had been on Earth for a long time and naturally knew what Paraquat was. If this stuff was drunk, even with immediate medical attention, there was no chance of survival. Of course, it wouldn't kill instantly; it would give you ample time to regret, and then after ten days, eight days, or even longer, your organs would fail, and you would die slowly and painfully. It was truly the most ruthless poison.
Even Zhou Hong, who came from the Purple Cloud Continent, found this poison terrifying.
Thus, Qin Mengxue was pulled into the elevator, crying.
"Senior Zhou Hong, we bid farewell. We apologize for the disturbance and hope you will forgive us." Before leaving, the Qin family elders politely bid farewell to Zhou Hong.
Zhou Hong was extremely depressed.
"It's okay, be more open-minded." Qiao Xiaoyu patted Zhou Hong on the back. She knew Zhou Hong didn't want the Qin family to use his influence to gain any benefits.
"Xiao Yu, why did you let Qin Mengxue go back? I already made her choose. If she goes back, she and I will be strangers."
"Do you know what her mother was holding just now? If that stuff is drunk, there's no chance of survival. No matter what, that's Mengxue's mother."
"I don't believe she would really drink it," Zhou Hong pouted.
"But Mengxue doesn't dare to gamble."
"In any case, I won't guide Qin Mengxue anymore. Fortunately, I didn't listen to you and take Qin Mengxue in, otherwise, I would be even more depressed now."
"Okay, don't overthink it. You're such a big man, why are you so narrow-minded?" Qiao Xiaoyu pulled Zhou Hong into the house.
Afterward, the two became passionately entwined. With Qin Mengxue gone, it seemed more convenient, right there on the living room sofa.
At this very moment, at the main entrance of the Jinshi City Public Security Bureau, a young man with a sword on his shoulder seemed to be waiting for someone.
Just then, Zhangsun Qinghe walked out of the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, seemingly off duty and preparing to go home.
"Captain Zhangsun, you're finally off work," the sword-carrying man said, walking up quickly.
Zhangsun Qinghe looked at the man and seemed annoyed.
"Zhong Jianren, why are you in Jinshi City?"
"Haha, of course, I'm here for you. Ever since I saw you in Jinshi City a few days ago, I haven't been able to eat or sleep. So I came to Jinshi City to find you."
"Zhong Jianren, if you're here to tour Jinshi City, I can treat you to a meal as a host, but if you're here to pursue me, then I can only tell you that we are not suitable," Zhangsun Qinghe said directly. She had gone on a business trip to the provincial capital a while ago and met this Zhong Jianren. This Zhong Jianren was not an ordinary person; he was younger than Zhangsun Qinghe but had already reached the eighty-ninth stage of the martial realm.
He was also a famous figure in the entire Jiangnan Province, ranking fourth on the provincial youth genius list, and it was him.
It was precisely because of this that Zhong Jianren felt he was worthy of Zhangsun Qinghe and attempted to pursue her. However, as the saying goes, once you've seen the world, other views seem mundane; Zhangsun Qinghe had no feelings for him.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Jianren came to Jinshi City today. It seemed he wanted to play the long game, which made Zhangsun Qinghe quite annoyed.
