Celine subconsciously touched her neck and replied in a hoarse voice.

She didn’t dare to let the doctor take a look at her. Even a small portion of the bruise on her neck looked very scary, so it had to be hidden from everyone.

Her life was more important, so she couldn’t let anyone find out, Celine thought.

“Alright,” Su Zheng said. He glanced at the empty seat beside Su Lu and asked, “Is Su Qing still not up? Why isn’t she coming down for breakfast?”

Su Lu looked at Su Zheng. “It’s Saturday today. Let her sleep longer. Anyway, there’s nothing else to do.”

Su Xing said in a disapproving tone, “Why is there nothing else? Isn’t Teacher Celine here? Didn’t we agree that class would start today?”

As Su Xing spoke, he felt that something was wrong. “Doesn’t Qingqing run in the morning? She’s usually the first to wake up. What’s wrong? Is she sick?”

“It’s not just that! She hasn’t left the room for two days,” Su Rui interrupted softly.

Su Xing was stunned. He really didn’t care about what happened the day before yesterday. In his eyes, what happened that day was just a small fight between his fifth brother and his sister. It wasn’t a big deal.

But now, looking at the strange atmosphere in the house, he sensed that something was wrong.

After a moment of silence, Su Xing said to everyone in a low voice, “I’ll go and have a good chat with Qingqing later.”

Kong Yue nodded when she heard this. “That’s fine too. You’re her eldest brother, so she’ll listen to you. However, you have to speak nicely.”

“I understand, Mom,” Su Xing replied.

Celine was happy to see the class postponed. She wished that she wouldn’t have to see Su Qing again for the rest of her life.

However, things didn’t go as she expected. When Su Xing came out of Su Qing’s room, he looked pleased, as though he had a good chat with her.

Su Xing glanced at Celine, who was in the living room. “Please go up and teach Qingqing in her room.”

When Celine heard this, for a moment, she really wanted to run away. She wanted to leave this troublesome place, but her rationality finally made her dispel this thought.

A reluctant smile appeared on her lips as she slowly walked upstairs.

Su Xing looked at her and acutely noticed Celine’s strange behavior. He asked, “Celine? What’s wrong?”

Celine walked up to Su Xing and pretended to be fine. She smiled and said, “I’m fine. Is Miss Su inside?”

Su Xing was about to answer Celine’s question when the door to Su Qing’s room opened. She stood at the door frame and looked at Celine calmly. “Come in.”

Fortunately, Su Xing had already turned to look at Su Qing. He didn’t realize that Celine’s body trembled slightly when she heard Su Qing’s words.

“Take advantage of the weekend to learn more from your teacher.” Su Xing chuckled and said to Su Qing, “I know that you’re a very smart and obedient child. Let the past remain in the past. We’re family, so no one in this family will blame you.”

Su Qing looked up at Su Xing for a long time before nodding slowly.

Su Xing looked at her and left in relief.

He knew it. Qingqing wasn’t the kind of person who would harp on a small matter and fuss over it.

The curtains in Su Qing’s room were only half open, and the sun shone in from outside. It wasn’t as sinister as Celine had imagined.

“Just stay with me for the next few days,” Su Qing said to Celine, who had been trembling in fear at the door, as she sat down near the balcony.

Su Qing’s sudden words shocked Celine again. She was stunned for a moment before nodding quickly, indicating that she understood.

Su Qing turned to look at her and said coldly, “As long as you’re obedient, I won’t touch you. Sit in that corner and don’t make a sound.”

Celine quickly walked towards the direction she was pointing at. It was the furthest spot in the room from Su Qing.

Celine was like an obedient little mouse. She would do whatever Su Qing instructed her to.

Su Qing glanced at the quiet Celine and turned around in satisfaction. It seemed like she had really frightened this teacher yesterday!

Actually, Su Qing almost couldn’t control herself yesterday.

At that time, she really wanted to kill Celine, but in the end, she barely suppressed her killing intent. She didn’t dare to imagine what kind of disaster would befall the entire Su family if she lost control!
