Inside the room, Luo Shanchuan's expression was a complex mix of emotions.
His daughter thought he was still being punished, little did she know, he was currently punishing her mother.
He coughed heavily and said sternly, "Ning'er, go to sleep. Your mom and I are just playing around."
Then, he whispered to Yang Meifeng, "Let Ning'er go back."
Yang Meifeng mechanically told the outside, "Ning'er, go back!"
Outside the room, Luo Ning sighed. To her, it seemed that her mother must be reprimanding her father again, but these were matters for the elders, and it wasn't her place as the younger generation to intervene.
Reluctantly, she turned and left, also turning off the living room light.
To avoid more trouble as the night goes on, once his daughter had left, Luo Shanchuan locked the door from the inside, turned on a soft light, and got straight to the point with Yang Meifeng, "Tell me, where is the passbook?"
