After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me

Chapter 888 Father Ye Pressures Father Qin, Absolute Domination

Hearing those words, Zhouzhou's eyes immediately widened with fury.

"My dad would never abandon me!" she snapped fiercely.

Huo Ji'an let out a surprised "Huh" and looked at her in confusion. "But didn't you say it yourself? That your dad doesn't want you anymore."

"That was before! He forgave me right after," Zhouzhou retorted confidently. She firmly believed that her Sharp Tongue Daddy would always have her back. Whatever he said was bound to work.

Hearing this, Qin Bei turned his head and chimed in, "Do you think Uncle will let it go? He looked pretty upset this time. You cried so hard yesterday, and he still ignored you. I think he's really done with you."

Before he could finish, a sharp thwack landed on his head.

"Ouch!" He winced, turning toward Qin Nan in annoyance. "Why'd you hit me?"

"For your big mouth!" Qin Nan shot back.

If it's useless, might as well sew it shut.

Qin Feng also frowned disapprovingly, his gaze suggesting that Qin Bei had better keep quiet before he made Zhouzhou cry again.

The mention of yesterday's events brought tears to Zhouzhou's eyes once more.

Qin Feng quickly reassured her, "It's nothing, really. Uncle adores you the most. He won't stay mad for long. You'll patch things up soon and go back to how things were."

Hearing this, Zhouzhou managed to rein in her emotions. She nodded firmly, though she threw a glare at Qin Bei. "Sixth Brother, I don't want to play with you today!"

Qin Bei snorted. "Fine, don't play then. Besides, maybe by tomorrow, I'll have to start calling you Aunt. Today's the last day I'm your brother, so I'll let you have your way. Starting tomorrow, you'll have to defer to me."

Grandma had already said she planned to transfer Zhouzhou's household registration to her name.

Qin Bei thought it was a fantastic idea.

As an aunt, she'd definitely have to protect her nephew, right?

Standing beside him, Qin Nan overheard his words and couldn't help but give him a look that said it all: Are you serious?

Is he stupid? Aunt or sister, Zhouzhou would still be Zhouzhou. Grandpa and Grandma would spoil her just the same. And, by the same logic, they'd keep disdaining the rest of them just as much.

They'd still be the underdogs of the Qin family.

What did seniority have to do with any of it?

If Zhouzhou wasn't around, it's not like Grandpa and Grandma were showering them with affection anyway.

What kind of daydream was he having in broad daylight?

Watching Qin Bei's foolish expression, Qin Nan's disdain grew even deeper, solidifying his resolve.

Why is her life so miserable?

Her dad turning into her brother—who could understand such heartbreak?

She didn't want this!

Qin Nan cradled his phone, recording Zhouzhou's tearful breakdown, and sent it straight to the family group chat.

Within moments, the chat exploded.

Grandma Qin: [Who made Zhouzhou cry again?!]

Qin Bei glanced at the messages, unable to resist chiming in gleefully: [It was Little Uncle!]

Grandma Qin's anger only deepened.

Grandma Qin: [I knew it! It's always him bullying my granddaughter—no, my daughter! That's it. I'm officially declaring it. She's my daughter now!]

Grandma Qin: [Old Qin, get the household registry! We're transferring her to us immediately!]

True to her word, Grandma Qin stormed off to find the household registry book.

Grandpa Qin, observing the chaos and noticing Qin Lie's prolonged silence in the group, sighed heavily.

If this went on, their "daughter" might really be lost. What was that boy even thinking?

Assuming Qin Lie was too busy to check the chat, Grandpa Qin called his assistant to clarify.

To his surprise, the assistant responded, "Mr. Qin left a while ago. Isn't it Zhouzhou's school dismissal time? He's gone to pick her up."

Ever since Zhouzhou's arrival, Qin Lie had adhered to a strict schedule, leaving work like clockwork every day to fetch her. The assistant had grown so accustomed to it that he was surprised Grandpa Qin didn't know.

Hearing this, Grandpa Qin paused, then let out a hearty laugh. The worry on his face dissipated.

That rascal—so he wasn't as heartless as he seemed. He'd just been playing tough.

Let him act cool for now. But if Zhouzhou truly decided she didn't want him anymore, he'd see who'd end up crying.

Meanwhile, Zhouzhou was sobbing so hard she'd begun to cough, her pitiful state tugging at everyone's heartstrings.

Ye Lingfeng, however, stood unmoved, arms crossed as he waited. He resisted the urge to scoop her up and comfort her.

Let's see how long he can stay in that car pretending to be a statue!

As Zhouzhou's sobs grew louder, to the point she nearly retched, Huo Ji'an hurried to pat her back, looking utterly exasperated.

"You're crying over this? If he doesn't want you, then don't want him either! Just get a new dad, isn't that easier?"

The words had barely left his mouth when he felt an icy glare pierce through him like a dagger...
