Qin Jiao raised an eyebrow. "What are you worried about? You and Aunt Du have already left Shen Zhengfeng, after all."

The Shen Family’s assets had already been cut in half, and that paint factory of theirs was also going to run into trouble later. It was safe to say that Shen Yi and Du Liya had successfully gotten out.

But to her surprise, Shen Yi’s brow was tightly furrowed as he said gloomily, "But Lin Nian said that in this book’s plot, you and he are supposed to be a couple!"

Although Shen Yi had only ever read sci-fi and fantasy in his past life and wouldn’t be caught dead reading those sappy romance novels, he still knew that the core of any book was its male and female leads.

If what Lin Nian said was true, then Jiao Jiao and Chen Feng... 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Qin Jiao finally realized what Shen Yi was worried about. In a cheerful tone, she said, "You can relax about that. I will definitely not end up with Chen Feng. Besides, weren’t you the one who said it? To us, Chen Feng is just a little kid."

’If Lin Nian hadn’t appeared and altered the course of their destinies, and if she hadn’t been reborn, she honestly wasn’t sure if she would have gotten together with Chen Feng.’

But now, Qin Jiao knew that she had changed, and Chen Feng had changed too. No matter what, the two of them would never end up together.

Seeing that Shen Yi’s brow was still furrowed, Qin Jiao magnanimously added, "Besides, haven’t I told you before? I won’t be thinking about personal matters until I graduate from college."

Well, when Young Master Shen heard that, his brow completely relaxed, and he broke into a radiant smile.

Qin Jiao smiled faintly. ’Shen Yi himself had probably forgotten that he was someone she wouldn’t consider even after she graduated from college.’

But fortunately, the two of them were getting along harmoniously now. Shen Yi no longer brought up the topic of feelings, which let Qin Jiao breathe a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, if he kept bringing it up, Qin Jiao would have had no choice but to distance herself from him.

Feng Dayong’s case was finally concluded. He was sentenced to death, with immediate execution. Feng Lan was sentenced to two years, and Wang Li was sentenced to three. In a sense, they were both accomplices. Wang Li was originally facing a harsher sentence, but it was reduced due to her meritorious act of reporting Feng Dayong.

On the day Feng Dayong was executed by firing squad, Wang Li, wearing handcuffs and shackles, stood before an iron-barred window, tears streaming down her face as she softly murmured her cousin’s name.

’Xiao Hong, I’ve avenged you.’

And because Wang Li had produced a great deal of evidence of Feng Dayong’s crimes, which secured his status as a death row inmate, her aunt’s family forgave her.

This was perhaps the best possible outcome for Wang Li.

In contrast to Wang Li’s calm, Feng Lan was far more disruptive. She refused to accept the verdict and continued to cause a ruckus after being locked up, shouting that her younger brother hadn’t harmed anyone and that she hadn’t committed theft or robbery.

"I just went to my cousin’s house! We’re relatives! And we didn’t even take anything, so why was I convicted of robbery and theft?"

The prison staff tried to explain the law to her, but she wouldn’t listen at all.

She just kept making a scene.

But if she kept carrying on like this, she probably wouldn’t be getting out in two years.

Meanwhile, with Feng Lan’s imprisonment, the Qin Family was worried sick. In the end, Mr. Qin glanced at his eldest grandson playing in the mud and said decisively, "Ji Qun, go divorce Feng Lan. Then, Dad will find you another wife—one who can raise my grandson for me!"

Qin Jiqun was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily.

’The house didn’t feel like a home anymore; everything was a mess. Most importantly, Xiao Tao couldn’t go two years without a mother!’

And while they were hashing out the divorce, Qin Jiao’s family was cheerfully loading their belongings onto a large truck.
