A group of imaginary birds were flying around Qin Sheng's head. If her grandfather was not deaf, he would have heard everything she said just now...
She knew that her grandfather usually did not care about words. Other people would talk for a long time, but Grandfather would not listen if he did not like their words. She thought that her grandfather could not hear clearly!
She pursed her lips. "Grandfather, what? I was just saying that if Grandfather dies of anger, I won't be able to save him!"
Obviously, her words did not save her.
Qin Ze rolled his eyes at his granddaughter. "Your grandfather doesn't have dementia or amnesia!"
Disrespecting her grandfather meant she was practically scolding the whole family. Having such a granddaughter, made him despair at times.
Qin Sheng was about to bang her head against the wall. Was this a sign that he wasn't forgiving her?
This was the first time she had seen her sturdy grandfather roll his eyes. It was probably down to him losing his breath due to the anger.
It was obvious that everything Qin Sheng said was in vain, so she might as well not say anything!
She did not care about the rules at home. She sat down on the sofa and rested her feet on the coffee table.
"I said what I said. What do you want to do about it? Let's make it clear first, I'm not going to that nun school! Don't even think about making me leave this nation. But if you want to chase me away from this house, hurry up and do it. I don't want to stay here!"
Qin Ze's deep gaze lingered on Qin Sheng. He picked up the crutch beside his chair and hit Qin Sheng's leg.
"Get your legs off the table! I don't know how Mochen raised you to be so unruly!" Qin Ze said.
Qin Sheng rubbed her hurt leg as she said impolitely, "If you say so, then I'll say so. But what does this have to do with my uncle? My surname is Qin, but he has no obligation to raise me. You don't want me? Then throw me out."
"Are you blaming the Qin family for not raising you well?" Qin Ze asked.
"No, I didn't mean that. If you don't care about me, I can live somewhere else."
Qin Yunting was always causing trouble for Qin Sheng. She'd caused this situation by causing trouble for her and making them all believe she was shameless. If only they knew the truth...
Qin Ze paused thoughtfully. "I asked you to reflect on your mistakes. Did you?"
"I didn't do anything wrong! And I didn't do anything shameful. You can't blame me!" Qin Sheng said righteously.
It wasn't her idea to accompany Duke Li Ang to dinner, and it wasn't her idea to get drunk. So what exactly had she done wrong?
"Is that right? Since you were wronged, why didn't you fully explain? Instead, you admitted and talked back? Do you think that since everyone has misunderstood you, you might as well give up?" Qin Ze sighed.
"This isn't called ambition, it's called stupidity. Not only does it not prove that you are capable, but it also allows the person who caused you trouble to get what they want. If Mochen didn't investigate the matter clearly, did you plan to keep taking the blame?" Qin Ze asked.
Qin Sheng looked at her grandfather in surprise. Could it be that he didn't want her to be misunderstood? Wow...
"If it wasn't said by Uncle, what if it was said by me? Would you believe it?"
"If you don't say it, how do you know that others won't believe it? ''Qin Ze asked in return. "Everything has to be fought for. If you don't fight for it, do you blame others for not giving you a chance?"
Qin Sheng was stunned. She had never thought of that before.
There was a knock on the door of the study, which was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.
Qin Ze raised his hand. "Mochen is here to pick you up, go ahead. When you can't sleep at night, think about how your mother risked her life to give birth to you just to let you live like this..."
Qin Sheng's brain seemed to have been struck by lightning. She looked at Qin Ze in astonishment. Her mother had always been a taboo in this house. She didn't expect that to come out from her grandfather's mouth.
The knocking on the door echoed into the room again, bringing Qin Sheng's thoughts back to reality.
She stood up and opened the door. Gong Mochen was standing outside.
"Godfather, it's late. It's time for Qin Sheng to do her homework," Gong Mochen said.
Qin Ze closed his eyes in a sign of agreement.
Gong Mochen took Qin Sheng's hand and brought her back to the bedroom.
The unusually quiet girl made him uncomfortable. "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? Or have you been scolded by your grandfather?"
Qin Sheng sat on the sofa and curled herself into a ball. She had never thought that her grandfather would throw her a problem like this.
Her mother gave her life to give birth to her just to let her live like this...
In the next moment, she stood up from the sofa, ran to the small desk, took out her homework and started to write.
The girl, who did her homework silently and obediently, stunned Gong Mochen. He didn't know what medicine she had just taken...

"Qin Sheng, take a rest. I asked the kitchen staff to make tapioca for you."
"Don't want anything. Please don't disturb me!"
Gong Mochen's forehead was covered in black lines.
***
"Qin Sheng, I brought you milk tea and egg tarts. You didn't eat much for dinner."
"No, don't bother me!"
Gong Mochen was swamped in dark clouds.
***
"Qin Sheng, I made you some creamy seafood soup. It's your favorite!"
"Uncle! You're so annoying! I'm doing my homework! Please be quiet for a while..."
Gong Mochen put his hands on his waist. She was only 18 years old, and she already found him annoying?
When she cried, he knew to hug her. When she was naughty, he knew to control her. However, she was such a quiet girl now, and he didn't know what to do with her.
After a long time, Qin Sheng finished her homework and walked to Gong Mochen with a stack of papers.
"Uncle, can you check if it's right?" She still wasn't sure if she was right about the advanced mathematics.
Gong Mochen raised his hand and touched the girl's forehead. Her body temperature was even more normal than his.
"Uncle, what are you doing? I'm not sick." Qin Sheng waved Gong Mochen's hand away unhappily.
Gong Mochen admitted that she was not sick. He had hoped that Qin Sheng would be obedient and study day and night, but now that it had come true, he was confused.
"Okay, I'll help you."
After a few days of homework, everything was right. The next day, what surprised Gong Mochen even more was that Qin Sheng got up without him calling for her.
He drove Qin Sheng to school and looked at the demure girl in the rearview mirror. He was in a dilemma. Did the heavens know that he didn't have much time left and that conscience had taught her to be obedient?
He watched Qin Sheng walk into the classroom and then turned around to walk towards the principal's office.
"President Gong! Nice to meet you!" The principal stood up to welcome him.
"I heard that the school wants to renovate the library and laboratory. This cheque is for you. You can fill in the amount yourself," Gong Mochen said as he threw a cheque on the table.
The principal was filled with joy, but before he took it, he was interrupted by a man who walked in.
"Principal, didn't you promise to let me donate? Now that you've taken someone else's money, is that really okay?" Li Ang walked into the room. His tone was evil, and there was a threat in it.
Gong Mochen stood up. "Li Ang, I've already paid the money. If you want to donate, please do it earlier next time."
"Even if you pay, the school is not yours! Just like Qin Sheng. No matter what you do, your destined to never get her!" Li Ang said in a voice that they could hear. "Soon, you won't even be able to kiss her. Do you need me to continue?"
