It was already past midnight, so Wang Youhai specifically asked Wang Yu Yan to drive Qin Xuan back.
It would be a bit troublesome to get a taxi this late, so Qin Xuan didn't refuse.
Wang Yu Yan drove, and Qin Xuan sat in the passenger seat. Neither of them spoke, and the air was filled with a slight awkwardness.
Just then, Qin Xuan's phone suddenly rang. Qin Geng looked at it and saw it was from Tantai Yue.
Qin Xuan frowned, a hint of annoyance appearing on his face.
The thought of Tantai Yue being close to that scumbag Jin Shikai ignited a fire in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he was about to hang up when Wang Yu Yan's voice rang out.
"Why aren't you answering? Is it inconvenient because I'm here?" Wang Yu Yan asked, tilting her head to look at Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan gave her a complex look, shook his head, and then answered the call.
"Qin Xuan, why haven't you come home so late?"
Tantai Yue's voice on the other end of the line was a bit cold, making Qin Xuan uncomfortable. He immediately replied in a cold tone,
"What business is it of yours? I'm going back to my own home. What about you? Didn't you go back to yours with Jin Shikai?"
"You!" Tantai Yue didn't expect Qin Xuan to say that to her and yelled at him over the phone,
"You scumbag!"
"I'm a scumbag?" Qin Xuan sneered,
"Yes, I'm a scumbag. For the past three years, this scumbag has worked his fingers to the bone and grovelled for your family, only to be treated worse than a dog. There probably isn't a bigger scumbag in the world."
Qin Xuan hung up the phone directly. This was the first time in three years that Qin Xuan had proactively hung up on Tantai Yue.
Although Wang Yu Yan was driving, her attention was focused on Qin Xuan.
Wang Yu Yan could basically hear the entire conversation between Qin Xuan and Tantai Yue.
After Qin Xuan finished the call, silence fell again.
Wang Yu Yan was also a little surprised.
This Qin Xuan looked at most twenty-two or twenty-three years old, and he had been married for three years?
Moreover, she had just caught a glimpse of the caller ID on Qin Xuan's phone: Tantai Yue.
In Jiangbei, there seemed to be a small family surnamed Tantai.
Wang Yu Yan suddenly remembered what happened that afternoon and instantly understood everything.
That Jin Shikai was not a good person, and Tantai Yue with him...
Thinking of this, Wang Yu Yan suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for the man who was several years younger than her.
At the same time, she couldn't understand why Qin Xuan, who possessed such advanced medical skills, was so young and handsome, with a bright future ahead of him, and would surely achieve as much as the three famous doctors in the capital. What kind of woman would dare to cheat on such a genius?
All the way, there was hardly any conversation between them. Wang Yu Yan wanted to say something to break the ice, but she was afraid of saying the wrong thing and offending this divine doctor whom even her grandfather respected immensely.
It wasn't until they reached the entrance of the scrap yard that Qin Xuan spoke up,
"We're here. You can drop me off here. It's full of scrap and garbage inside, I wouldn't want to dirty your car."
After speaking, he unbuckled his seatbelt and prepared to open the car door to get out.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yu Yan stepped on the accelerator and drove into the scrap yard, startling Qin Xuan, who had just unbuckled his seatbelt.
"Which building is your home?" Wang Yu Yan asked Qin Xuan, turning her head.
Qin Xuan glanced at her, then pointed to the dilapidated house with the lights still on not far away.
When they arrived in front of the house, Qin Xuan had just gotten out of the car when he heard Wang Yu Yan's voice,
"Aren't you going to invite me in for a bit?"
Qin Xuan turned around and looked at her suspiciously,
"Would you be willing to stay in such a simple, run-down place?"
Wang Yu Yan chuckled charmingly, got out of the car, and looked at Qin Xuan, saying,
"A home is a home, regardless of its size, as long as it shelters us from the wind and rain. What's so simple about it?"
Qin Xuan was slightly stunned, then made a gesture of invitation,
"Let's go in, I'll pour you a glass of water."
"Mm." Wang Yu Yan nodded and walked into the house side by side with Qin Xuan.
At that moment, the front door suddenly opened, and a small head peeked out. Seeing Qin Xuan, she exclaimed with joy,
"Brother! You're back!"
Qin Lin immediately rushed out and hugged Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan affectionately stroked Qin Lin's head and chuckled,
"Lin Lin, why aren't you asleep so late?"
Qin Lin smiled and shook her head,
"No, brother wasn't back yet." As she spoke, Qin Lin's gaze fell on Wang Yu Yan beside them. She blinked her bright eyes and asked doubtfully,
"Brother, who is this beautiful elder sister?"
Hearing someone compliment her beauty, Wang Yu Yan felt a little pleased. Before Qin Xuan could explain, she spoke first,
"Hello, little sister. My name is Wang Yu Yan. I'm your brother's friend. You must be Qin Xuan's sister, right? You're so well-behaved. You'll definitely be a beauty when you grow up."
Women don't dislike hearing compliments, and Qin Lin was no exception. Her small face instantly flushed red, and then she looked at Qin Xuan with a complicated expression and whispered in his ear,
"Brother, sister-in-law is here..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of high heels "clack-clack-clack" echoed from inside, and then a beautiful figure emerged and appeared before them.
Tantai Yue saw Qin Xuan and was about to say a few words, but when she saw the beautiful Wang Yu Yan beside Qin Xuan, her brows instantly furrowed. They had met at the pharmacy this afternoon.
But why was Wang Yu Yan here?
As the vice president of the Wang Group, Wang Yu Yan had appeared in Jiangbei's financial news countless times. She was basically known by everyone in Jiangbei's business circles.
"Why are you here?" Qin Xuan asked with a frown,
"Qin Xuan, you guys..."
Hearing her ask this, Qin Xuan, who already had a fire raging in his heart, coldly said,
"Just as you can see."
A hint of anger instantly appeared on Tantai Yue's face,
"Qin Xuan, how could you do this!"
Qin Xuan remained indifferent,
"If you're allowed to see other men, then I'm not allowed to see other women?"
Although he was cold on the outside, Qin Xuan's heart was tearing apart.
But this afternoon, he had indeed seen Jin Shikai buying condoms with his own eyes.
It was possible they had already slept together, and now Tantai Yue was here at his home calling him a scumbag.
Was she having an affair with another man while expecting him to work himself to death for her family and exploit his remaining value?
In the past, Qin Xuan worked four or five jobs a day, earning a little over ten thousand yuan a month.
For Tantai Yue's family, this was also a significant amount of money.
If it weren't for this, Qin Xuan's mother-in-law would have kicked him out long ago.
"Qin Xuan, you scumbag!" After speaking, Tantai Yue turned around angrily and left.
Watching her retreating figure, Qin Xuan's expression was impassive, but his heart felt an inexpressible ache.
"Aren't you going to chase after her?" Wang Yu Yan's voice suddenly rang out.
Qin Xuan replied without turning his head,
"No need. Soon, she and I will have nothing to do with each other."
Wang Yu Yan didn't understand what he meant, but she knew it was time for her to leave. She said to Qin Xuan,
"Qin Xuan, I'll be going then. I'll leave this car here. Grandpa instructed me to give it to you. Come visit us more often when you have time."
With that, Wang Yu Yan also turned and left.
After Wang Yu Yan left, Qin Lin tugged at Qin Xuan's sleeve and said softly,
"Brother, sister-in-law told me that Grandma's seventieth birthday is tomorrow, and she wants us to attend the birthday banquet."
"Grandma?" Qin Xuan's face darkened, then he gave a self-mocking smile,
"After tomorrow, she won't be."
"Why?" Qin Lin's beautiful brows furrowed.
Qin Xuan stroked her head and said with a smile,
"No reason. You just need to know that from today onwards, no one can bully us siblings anymore."
"Mm, I believe you, brother." Qin Lin nodded obediently.
