Old Madam Qu meant what she said. No matter how Qu Xue and Qu Qin struggled, they had already been chased out of the Qu family.

Mo Rao thought that Old Madam Qu wouldn’t be that ruthless, but she didn’t expect that after so long, Old Madam Qu still valued her mother so much and hated Qu Xue and Qu Qin for their evil deeds.

Mo Yuan and Mo Rao came to the Qu family’s home together and reunited with Old Madam Qu. They chatted about many encounters from when they were growing up. As the Qu family was laughing and chatting with joy, Qu Ru became filled with envy.

Previously, she failed to get close to the Fu family. Now, she had finally returned to the Qu family’s home and was even asked to stay, but her backer became disgraced.

Qu Ru only felt that Mo Rao was her nemesis. It was because of her that she separated from Fu Ying and was now going to be expelled from the Qu family.

No, she couldn’t let this happen!

The Qu family was her backer. Without the Qu family, she would really have nothing.

Although Old Madam Qu was ruthless to Qu Xue and Qu Qin, Qu Rou and Qu Ru were innocent after all. Qu Rou cried, threw a tantrum, and threatened to kill herself. Old Madam Qu had no choice but to let her stay in the Qu family’s home. Seeing this, Qu Ru hurriedly jumped out as well.

“Grandma, I never expected Aunt and Dad… No, Qu Xue and Qu Qin are such people!”

Just as Old Madam Qu was holding hands with Mo Rao and Mo Yuan, Qu Ru ran downstairs and knelt in front of Old Madam Qu.

Mo Rao looked at Qu Ru coldly. She had seen too many of Qu Ru’s tricks.

“Grandma, I know I’m an illegitimate daughter. You’ve never liked me, but… but I’ve already decided to turn over a new leaf!” Qu Ru cried in front of Old Madam Qu as she said, “I’ve never been doted on and loved since I was young. It was only these days in the Qu family that I finally felt the warmth of a home…”

“I, I don’t want to leave the Qu family’s home or you. I, I can sever my father-daughter relationship with Qu Qin! From now on, you’re my only family!”

In terms of ruthlessness, no one could compare to Qu Ru.

No matter what, Old Madam Qu was still an old woman. Qu Xue and Qu Qin had hurt the child she loved the most and also her. That was why she punished them so ruthlessly. However, Qu Ru had been obedient recently and had vowed to cut ties with Qu Qin. It seemed like she was really determined to stay in the Qu family’s home to be filial to Old Madam Qu.

Everyone was silent, and only Qu Ru’s wails could be heard.

Old Madam Qu looked at Qu Ru awkwardly. She couldn’t make up her mind, so she couldn’t help but glance at Mo Rao.

Mo Rao understood what Old Madam Qu meant. Qu Ru was her enemy. Wouldn’t she be an eyesore if she stayed in the Qu family’s home?

However, Mo Rao didn’t want Old Madam Qu to be in a difficult position because of her, so she smiled and said, “Grandma, no matter what decision you make, I will support you.”

“Grandma… I, I swear that I will be obedient from now on and won’t hurt Mo Rao!” Qu Ru saw through Old Madam Qu’s scruples and raised four fingers.

Old Madam Qu sighed and finally agreed. “In that case, you can stay in the Qu family’s home. You really shouldn’t bear the responsibility for your aunt and father’s mistakes. What you’ve done all these years is indeed because the Qu family didn’t discipline you well…”

Qu Ru nodded and saw a glimmer of hope.

“If you want to stay in the Qu family’s home, I only have one condition. You can’t cause trouble in the future, especially harming Mo Rao. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences.” When Old Madam Qu mentioned this condition, her expression turned cold.

In order to have the Qu family as her backer, Qu Ru was willing to agree to anything. She quickly said, “I will definitely listen to Grandma and won’t do anything bad again.”

Old Madam Qu nodded in satisfaction when she received the affirmative response.

Mo Rao and Mo Yuan watched Qu Ru’s act the entire time. No matter what she promised, Mo Rao would never believe her again.

Back then, Qu Ru had used her innocent appearance to deceive Fu Ying. Moreover, Qu Ru was the culprit behind her children’s death. She would never forgive her.

“Mo Rao, you’re my cousin from now on. In the future, let’s forget about the past and be filial to Grandma together.” Qu Ru looked at Mo Rao seriously.
