Daddy Always Gets Jealous

The old lady hastily tugged at him, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked with desperate gasps, ”Is it? Is it?!”

Others might not be clear about it, but she and the old master knew best. When Mo Mo was younger, he looked exactly like this, that face shape, those eyes, and especially that smile—

The Qin Family patriarch came back to his senses, looked at the old lady, and saw her tears flowing down earnestly as she sat there, lost, not knowing what to say!

It really was too similar!

The old lady, noticing people looking towards her, quickly rubbed her tears away vigorously with her hand, ”Old... old man...”

She didn’t know what to say and just clutched tightly to the sleeve of the Qin Family patriarch, revealing half of her shoulder.

”You’ll strip my clothes off if you tug any harder,” the Qin Family patriarch gasped and said in a low voice.

Only then did the old lady realize her loss of composure, and she hurriedly let go. The scene she had just witnessed lingered in her mind, that familiar smile unable to calm her for a long time.

Compared to her, the Qin Family patriarch calmed down much quicker. Thinking over the sequence of events, he realized that the several times Qin Mochuan harmed Che Huan, things were not so simple!

Taking a deep breath, he squeezed the old lady’s hand, ”Didn’t I mention before that there was something fishy about Tongtong’s situation?”

The old lady’s voice was still hoarse. She nodded and choked out softly, ”Huanhuan must be Moting’s daughter; there... there’s no mistake—”

Soon, the trial began, and she had no mind to listen, her heart entirely preoccupied with Che Huan.

It was not until the judge banged the gavel to conclude the session that she snapped back to reality, looked toward the spot where the prosecution lawyer stood, saw Qin Shaojin there adjusting his suit collar, and turned to the Qin Family patriarch, ”Is it over?”

The patriarch nodded.

The old lady looked at Qin Mochuan being led away, thinking about how he could bring himself to harm his own brother, nephew, and niece, and she felt wave after wave of chill, ”How... how long was the sentence?”

”Eight years.”

”And Huo Jinyun?”

”Because of mental illness, further forensic evaluation is needed to determine whether she has the ability to serve a sentence. If things go as anticipated, it will likely end in compulsory medical treatment.”

The old lady voiced out angrily, ”After doing so much evil, she ends up crazy in the end, she got off too easy!”

The old patriarch remained silent, his expression grave as he looked towards where Qin Mochuan had been taken.

In his life, he loathed fratricide the most, and he never expected such a thing to transpire among his own children and grandchildren.

Moting and his third child had the means to protect themselves, but what about Che Huan? A girl, if not for a man like Huo Jinnan by her side, she might have met with misfortune long ago—

He knew full well that Moting had been unwilling to marry for all these years, he knew the place Mo Mo and Shaoling held in his and the old lady’s hearts, yet someone still went ahead and did this...

He stood up and walked out.

The old lady looked back once more, then followed the Qin Family patriarch, stepping outside only to run into the Huo Family patriarch. She gave him a piercing glare, ”Some dogs just can’t stop eating filth, after all these years, still the same character.”

The Huo Family patriarch knew the old lady was scolding Ayun, but didn’t know how to respond, and so stayed silent, downcast.

Uncle Guan said in a low voice, ”Patriarch, the reporters are coming, let’s go.”

”This also sounds like something a Huo Family member would say?”

The old patriarch glanced at Uncle Guan and walked unhurriedly towards the black Volkswagen Huiteng not far away.

Uncle Guan followed.

The Qin Family old lady glared at the Huo Family patriarch and stopped in her tracks.

The Qin Family patriarch turned back to look at her, ”Why aren’t you walking?”

”I... I twisted my ankle.”

The old lady stood there, and upon seeing Huo Jinnan and Che Huan come out, she took a deep breath and suddenly tensed up!
