Chapter 261: How's it going? Is he dead or not?

"Do you think Ruan Ruan doesn't like me?" Old Master Qin's brows furrowed, still bothered by what had just happened.

Qin Mo remained silent.

This is too obvious to need further explanation.

"I'm talking to you." Old Master Qin expressed his displeasure at his behavior. "Are you mute?"

"Are you sure you want me to say it?" Qin Mo asked back.

Old Master Qin: "..."

Old Master Qin was furious.

That brat never says a single nice thing.

“Your dad makes me angry, and you make me angry too.” He started verbally attacking me, “Are you deliberately trying to make me suffer?”

"Whether my little cousin likes you or not depends on how well you handle the grudges between you and your aunt." Qin Mo spoke his mind directly, and it was rare to hear him say anything flattering. "The Qin family is very protective of their own, so my little cousin naturally cares about everything her aunt went through."

It would have been better if we hadn't brought this up, because mentioning it immediately soured Old Master Qin's mood.

He glared at him: "With a mouth like yours, you'll never find a wife in this lifetime."

Qin Mo: "..."

Grandpa Qin: "Fine, if they don't want to call, they don't want to call. There's still plenty of time, I can wait."

"The most important people usually make their grand entrance last." After much consideration, Qin Mo said something nice to him. "What you should be thinking about now is whether your little cousin should call you first or Chairman Li first."

Old Master Qin paused.

His gaze swept over him twice.

That makes sense!

"Let's go, let's go over there first." Qin Mo's thin lips parted slightly. "Second Uncle is over there too. If he intends to make things difficult for Grandpa Butler, it will be hard to handle."

"He wouldn't dare!" Old Master Qin said sternly.

That being said.

But his steps quickened unconsciously as he headed toward the main hall.

When Jiang Ruan and the old butler arrived at the main hall, there were few people there, except for a middle-aged man in his fifties sitting there in a suit, who had a somewhat frivolous and unserious air about him.

His eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Ruan following the old butler.

He put down his teacup and said in a rather frivolous manner, "Where did this girl come from? She's so pretty."

"Second Master, please be careful with your words." The old butler coughed lightly and introduced, "This is Jiang Ruan, Miss An'an's child."

"So you're my niece." Second Master Qin looked at Jiang Ruan with a flirtatious gaze. "What are you standing there for? Come and sit down, let your uncle take a good look at you."

Jiang Ruan stood there without moving, her subconscious rejection and dislike of him evident.

Qin Jiangye is also carefree and irresponsible, but he gives people a clean feeling; he just loves to have fun.

But this one is frivolous, arrogant, and a rogue.

"Why are you still so shy, child?" Second Master Qin stood up and took her arm. "I heard your mother had an accident and has been bedridden for many years. How is she? Is she dead?"

“Even if the grass on your grave is three meters tall, my mother is still alive and well.” Jiang Ruan avoided his touch and retorted without hesitation.

Master Qin immediately became displeased: "How dare you speak like that!"

Jiang Ruan looked away and ignored her.

The old butler spoke up in defense: "Second Master, Jiang Ruan is a distinguished guest invited by the Master. Please think carefully before you speak."

"I'm not going to back down today, so what?" Second Master Qin stood up, his eyes filled with undisguised disdain as he looked at Jiang Ruan. "So young and already doesn't know how to respect her elders. If Qin An won't take care of it, I will."

As they were talking.

He walked towards Jiang Ruan step by step.

That made it clear that if Jiang Ruan didn't speak properly, she would be punished according to family rules.

"Apologize to me, or I'll make you regret it today," said Master Qin, putting on airs.

Hearing the footsteps outside, Jiang Ruan composed herself and said, "Please, make yourself at home."

Master Qin lost his temper: "Don't think that just because Qin An is protecting you I won't dare to touch you!"

"Try touching her!" Old Master Qin walked over with his aged steps, his wrinkled face full of seriousness. "If she loses even a single hair here, I'll make you suffer."

Master Qin opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't dare to talk back.

Grandpa Qin approached Jiang Ruan and asked, "Were you frightened?"

Jiang Ruan didn't intend to make a big deal out of it: "It's alright."

"Come here and apologize to Ruan Ruan." Old Master Qin stared at his second son, his expression extremely serious. "As an elder, how can you be so rude? Is this how I taught you?"

Second Master Qin frowned: "Dad, aren't you being a little too biased?"

Old Master Qin's face darkened: "You still have the nerve to talk to me about favoritism?"

He was pressured by them and others to give the shares to the two brothers. Anyone can say he was biased, but these two are not qualified to do so.

"Apologize quickly, or I'll force you to be punished according to family rules," Old Master Qin scolded.

"I'm sorry." Second Master Qin's attitude was very bad, nonchalant and unserious. "It was my uncle who was joking without thinking. Please don't take it to heart."

Jiang Ruan didn't want to answer.

From the moment she knew her mother had returned to Haicheng, she deliberately asked her if her mother was dead, and she began to resent this person.

“Since Second Uncle has apologized, let’s consider this matter over.” Qin Mo stepped forward to ease the tension. “We’re all family, just don’t hurt each other’s feelings in the future.”

"Of course I'll listen to my nephew." Second Master Qin glanced at Jiang Ruan. "I just don't know if you'll still be able to say these things so calmly when you find out what she's doing at our Qin family."

"Why not?" Qin Mo retorted.

Master Qin opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.

The boss's side always knows how to pretend. Anyway, he only holds a minority of shares, so even if they were bought back, he wouldn't lose as much as they would.

They're not in a hurry, so why should he?

"I'll let it go this time, but if anyone misbehaves again later, don't blame me for scolding them." Old Master Qin reminded them, "Jiang Ruan is not only our honored guest, but also a member of the Qin family. I will not allow anyone to speak disrespectfully to her."

The news of what happened here quickly reached Qin Muchuan's ears.

The current housekeeper asked, "Should we find a chance to get rid of Jiang Ruan?"

"No need. It's not the right time to take action after the old man just said those things." Qin Muchuan had calmed down after this period of time. "Let's observe for a while. Maybe she won't be able to pass the ability test for inheriting the shares."

The butler nodded slightly: "Okay."

Qin Muchuan narrowed his eyes: "I'm afraid of..."

"What?" the butler asked.

"It's nothing." Qin Muchuan considered it carefully and didn't say anything more, but only instructed, "Have someone keep an eye on Qin Mo during this period, and report to me immediately if anything unusual happens."

After all these years, he still hasn't seen through his son.

The butler replied, "Yes."

Qin Muchuan raised his wrist to check the time: "Is the second brother back?"

"They're on their way." The butler had checked in advance. "They should arrive in about half an hour."

Qin Muchuan: "Have you brought the people who were supposed to be brought?"

The butler gave a meaningful look: "I brought it."

"Alright." Qin Muchuan was in a good mood. He straightened his clothes, as if he couldn't wait to see a good show. "Let's go and meet my niece."
