"Qin Li? How come it's you, a mute, who came to greet me?"

At the entrance of Lincheng University, Chu Zitan frowned, looking at the man in front of her with disdain. She then cautiously glanced around.

"Get out of here! What if my classmates see us? Where would I put my face?" With that, Chu Zitan strode away.

Qin Li pursed his lips and immediately followed Chu Zitan.

He was picking up his daughter Chu Zitang from school today to help his wife, Chu Qingyin. Usually, Chu Qingyin would pick her up, but today she said she had some work to deal with at the company, so she texted him to come instead.

Just as Qin Li was following Chu Zitan towards the car, three children walked shoulder to shoulder toward them and surrounded Qin Li and Chu Zitan.

"Well, isn't this the school belle Chu Zitan?"

Chu Zitan's footsteps faltered, her face changed instantly, and she glanced at Qin Li behind her. Her heart sank with unease.

He was afraid that people would see him, the mute brother-in-law, but he was still seen. The worst part was that it was his sworn enemy who saw him.

"It's you guys, what's up?"

Chu Zitan hung a strained smile on her face.

"It's nothing, just a greeting." One of the three youths, a long-haired boy, sneered.

Long hair slowly turned her eyes to Qin Li, and suddenly her eyes widened in surprise. She exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Oh my god, Chu Zitan, isn't this your useless mute brother-in-law who lived with you for a year? Why did you bring everyone from the school here?"

Chu Zitan's face flushed with anger, her eyes narrowed: "What does it have to do with you? Mind your own business, get out of my way!"

She pushed open the door in front of her, grabbed Qin Li and walked onto the car, slamming the car door shut!

"Hurry up and drive! I want to see if my jokes are funny or not!" Chu Zitan gritted her teeth and snarled.

Qin Li's fingers paused for a moment, then he started the car in silence.

Chu Zitan closed her eyes, listening to the faint laughter coming from outside the car window, her mouth moving rapidly.

"Hurry up!" Chu Zitan shouted angrily, "You're so slow!"

"I really don't know what my sister was thinking back then! She came over here and didn't even have a job. It's been a year now, and she's been eating off of my sister's money and isn't even contributing anything!"

"If I were you, I'd be dead already!"

Chu Zidan vented with a furious roar, but Qin Li remained completely unresponsive after all that yelling.

Chu Zitang laughed angrily: “That’s right, why would I stay quiet with someone like that? I must be crazy.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, Chu Zitan turned her head to look out the window. However, her lips continued to move, still conveying her anger.

Qin Li's eyes flashed.

What?

He has heard this title for ten years.

When his parents went missing, he was found by a mysterious old man. The old man's extraordinary abilities were beyond anything an ordinary person could possess.

That old man told him that if he wanted to find his parents, he had to bear humiliation.

Qin Li was overcome with grief and agreed without hesitation. The old man then passed down all his life's knowledge to Qin Li.

After that, the old man vanished without a trace.

And the price for this is ten years of silence!

Otherwise, he will be unable to bear its energy and perish of his own accord.

It sounds like a fairy tale, but this really happened to Qin Li, which is also the reason why Qin Li has always been called mute.

The outside world all thought Qin Li had lost his voice because his parents cried him hoarse, but they didn't know the astonishing truth behind it.

For ten years I was silent, and everyone bullied me!

But today... is the last day of this decade.

Thinking about this, Qin Li took a deep breath and let out his pent-up qi.

From today on, he will completely shake off this title.

Thinking of this, Qin Li's eyes couldn't help but flash with excitement!

A sedan sped into the Chu family's courtyard. As soon as the car stopped, Chu Zitang jumped out of the vehicle.

He kept running while waving his hands in front of his nose as if to keep him and Qin Li apart, like being in the same space with sewage.

Qin Li's eyes flickered, she locked the car door, and took the key straight to the second floor of Chu's villa.

He didn't care where Chu Zitan went. Now his breath was surging, growing increasingly intense!

I've endured for ten years, I absolutely cannot waste this opportunity!

Qin Li rushed into the room, his eyes immediately fixed on the calendar that had been sitting on the table. He smirked, then picked up a pen and crossed out the last number on the calendar!

A decade of humiliation, now finally over!

Lying on the bed, dressed in casual clothes, Qin stood up and took a deep breath. He channeled all his energy to try and break through this level!

Meanwhile, as Qin Li began his assault on the pass, at the entrance of the Chu family villa, Qin Li's mother-in-law, Han Ying, walked in with a young man, chatting and laughing.

"You should have said you were coming sooner, I could have prepared a bit more." Han Ying led the person to the hall. "Have a seat, let me pour you some tea."

The man who came was Liu Minghao, the son of Han Yinggui. He was handsome, tall and well-built. A smile played on his lips, giving him the air of a charming young gentleman.

"Aunt, no need to trouble yourself. I just got back from abroad and came over to say hello and see Qingyin."

Liu Minghao took the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.

"If I hadn't had to study abroad back then, I might have ended up with your Qingyin!" Liu Minghao said with a smile.

Han Yingjiao chuckled awkwardly and gave a sheepish smile.

Liu Minghao could also be said to have grown up watching over her. At the time, he was a famous little prodigy in the courtyard. He originally wanted to marry Qingyin to Liu Minghao.

Who knew that Qingyin, that little girl, would actually name him and insist on marrying that mute!

As soon as I think of that useless son-in-law at home, compared to Liu Minghao right in front of me, he's not even worthy of tying his shoes!

"Aunt, this time I came and specially brought a gift for Qingyin." Liu Minghao smiled slightly, sat down on the sofa, and looked around. "By the way, where's Qingyin?"

"Oh, you're still not back at the company." Han-young replied.

Liu Minghao's face flashed with disappointment, then he asked: "What about Qingyin's object? I heard that he doesn't seem to have a job at home? I also want to meet this person who captured Qingyin's heart!"

"It just so happens that the district chief is coming to visit me these two days, and I can help then by introducing him to a job."

Liu Minghao said, his face full of kindness, but in his heart he held contempt for this unfamiliar husband, Qingyin.

He's a grown man who relies on his wife for everything, including food and shelter. To top it off, he's also disabled. He truly lives like a dog!

Han Ying's heart grew increasingly agitated upon hearing this. She immediately rushed to the second floor and frowned as she shouted, "There are guests at home, don't you know how to come out and greet them?"

However, at this critical moment, Qin Li was in the thick of it and couldn't hear anything outside!

But Chu Zitan, who lived on the first floor, heard the sound and walked out to see the visitor. A flash of displeasure crossed her eyes.

Why is this fly back again?

"Mom, I was just tidying up and didn't hear anyone come." Chu Zitang explained to Han Ying.

Seeing Chu Zitan, Liu Minghao immediately wanted to speak, but Chu Zitan didn't give him any chance to react and walked straight upstairs.

I went to Qin Li.

Chu Zidan dislikes Qin Li, but she dislikes Liu Minghao even more.

A silent fly and a buzzing fly every day, I'd still choose the first one!

"Come down here quickly! What’s with all the airs? You don't even greet guests when they arrive at our home!"

Han Ying was now furious, her eyes fixed on the staircase, growing increasingly angry.

"Haha, Auntie, don't get angry. After all, this betrothal isn't something that can be broken just like that. Qingyin is determined to marry Qinli, there's nothing we can do about it."

Liu Minghao's eyes were full of disdain and cold laughter.

If the matchmaker hadn't forced the engagement, Qing Yin wouldn't have had this chance to let Qin Li enter the family!

Han Ying's face instantly turned solemn. Any sliver of good feeling she had for Qin Li vanished completely.

When Liu Minghao saw this, he was very satisfied.

Initially, he had set Qingyin as his wife. Unexpectedly, after studying abroad for two years, Qin Li took advantage of the situation!

To put it plainly, he's here today to show this mute just how far behind he is compared to him!

Also tell Han Ying that the original choice was so laughable!

To choose a cesspit instead of a mountain of gold is simply astonishing!

A sneer flashed across Liu Minghao's eyes, but he remained silent at the moment, watching the staircase entrance quietly.

Shàng lóu de Chǔ Zǐtán kě bù zhīdào Liú Mínghào jīn rì lái de mùdì, shì jìng wèi gěi zì jia rén nán kān.

Frowning, she looked at Qin Li's closed door and complained, "Even at home, he closes the door. What kind of illness is this!"

As she spoke, Chu Zitang suddenly pushed open the door and saw Qin Li sitting cross-legged on the bed.

Chu Zitan was stunned at the time!

That wheat-colored, sharply defined abdomen... and... Chu Zitan was completely dumbfounded.

And Qin Li was also stunned at this moment. He didn't expect that he would be suddenly interrupted by someone at a critical time, and this person was his niece!

You know, he's going all out for this challenge!

"Oh! Thug!" Chu Zitan reacted, her face flushed red, and with a bang, she slammed the door shut.

"Qin Li, are you insane? You're not even wearing clothes at home and haven't locked the door! Mom, come downstairs, we have guests. Hurry!" As soon as she said that, Chu Zitan flushed red with anger and stomped down the stairs.

I don't know why? Though I was clearly angry, my mind was completely filled with Qin Li's just-now performance, which was like Ken so much.

Chu Zitan gritted her teeth and shook her head forcefully.

Here we go?

Having not heard the quiet from upstairs, Han Ying simply looked at Chu Zitan.

"Right now." Chu Zitang felt a surge of irritation and didn't even give Han Ying a good look. She directly sat down on the sofa in the hall.

Although Chuzitan's appearance was sudden, fortunately Qin Li wasn't disturbed and successfully broke through the ten years of hardship. Then, Qin Li smelled a foul odor.

Looking down, he saw many pitch-black things above him. At that moment, he smiled faintly.

It seems like it's completely cleared out.

Qin Li opened his mouth, his voice hoarse, like an old cassette tape that had been played a hundred times, it sounded very strange.

After ten years of silence, his voice sounded a little strange, which was understandable. He knew it would soon return to normal.

"Auntie, is Qin Liping this domineering at home too?" Liu Minghao's eyes flashed with mockery.

Han Ying's face instantly turned pale, what a load of bull about being strong. He wasn't stupid, how could he not hear the sarcasm in Liu Minghao's words!

A useless son-in-law, daring to show disrespect to his mother-in-law, and staying up there for so long without coming down!

Korean and English are getting harder and harder to look at, I need to go see what's going on with Qin Li right now.

And Qin Li also walked down at this time.

Liu Minghao's eyes followed the direction of his gaze, and instantly, his eyes were filled with disdain and mockery.

"Is someone like this even worthy of marrying Qingyin?"
