Chapter 264 Almost Lost His Way Out

"Of course, as long as you pass the test, we will definitely offer you the shares with both hands." Qin Muchuan glanced at Qin Mo as he said this. "Qin Mo, don't make things too difficult for your sister. Just give her a simple test."

Qin Mo's eyes were unfathomably deep.

He parted his thin lips slightly, his tone as cold as ever: "Since it is a test for the family, we must remain comrades."

"She's the only younger sister in the family," Qin Luofeng added. "We can just quietly let her pass; it's just a formality."

As Qin Jiangye watched them sing in unison, a subtle hint of sarcasm flickered in his usually nonchalant eyes.

"Your brother's words make sense."

“Miss Jiang has not received family education since childhood, so it may be difficult for her to pass the test if she treats everyone equally.”

"that is."

Qin Muchuan and the current housekeeper each said one sentence.

Their faces all showed that they cared about Jiang Ruan.

“Nephew, our patriarch has already spoken up, so you might as well just go easy on him.” Qin Muchi also spoke up, his words laced with undisguised sarcasm. “Jiang Ruan is not Qin An; she doesn’t have that kind of ability.”

Qin Mo pursed his thin lips, still exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Jiang Ruan didn't care about this farce.

She could probably see through what everyone was thinking and the unspoken meaning behind every word.

Spending a lot of time with Huo Zhizhou has gradually helped me to judge whether someone is good or bad.

"Why don't we skip the test? It's just a formality anyway." Qin Muchi, always eager for drama, said, "My brother and I are both willing to give the shares to our niece, so let's just sign the contract directly."

These words were spoken.

The scene was completely silent.

Qin Muchuan looked at him with such hatred that he wanted to devour him.

"Brother, what do you think?" Qin Muchi asked deliberately.

“That works too.” Qin Muchuan maintained the composure befitting a family head, his gaze naturally shifting to Jiang Ruan. “It mainly depends on Jiang Ruan’s opinion.”

Qin Muchi immediately smiled.

Big brother, oh big brother.

To maintain your "good uncle" persona, you really dare to say anything.

“Sure.” Jiang Ruan agreed readily, glancing back and forth between the two of them. “If you two uncles are free, we can sign the contract now.”

Qin Muchi: "..."

Qin Muchuan: "..."

The two stood there for a long time without saying a word.

In their view, Jiang Ruan and Qin An are similar in personality; both are very strong-willed.

Ambitious people always like to get everything they want through their own abilities.

Now this...

"Any other concerns?" Jiang Ruan acted along with them.

"No." At this point, Qin Muchi went along with Jiang Ruan's words, since it was his older brother who was anxious anyway, "I'll have someone prepare the contract right away, and we'll sign it on the spot."

Qin Muchuan looked at him with eyes as sharp as knives.

That stupid little brother!

Qin Muchi accepted it all: "Don't you love to show off? Keep showing off."

Qin Muchuan was seething with anger. He hadn't expected Qin An's daughter to be so spineless! She actually wanted to buy it back at the original price without paying anything in return.

"Jiang Ye, go prepare the contract," Qin Muchi said to Qin Jiangye. "Let's get the shareholding issue settled tonight, and then go through the share transfer process tomorrow."

"Okay." Qin Jiangye's lips curved into a slight smile.

The next second, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Secretary Qin appeared with a briefcase, still dressed in his elite attire: "Boss."

Qin Jiangye spread his hands: "Take out the contract I asked you to prepare this morning."

Secretary Qin did as instructed.

When Qin Muchi saw the thick stack of contracts, he looked at Qin Muchuan with amusement.

My dear brother, have you gone too far?

Qin Muchuan was in a terrible mood, but he still had to maintain the composure and dignity befitting a family head.

"Give it to me, I'll sign it first." Qin Muchi deliberately put Qin Muchuan in an awkward position. He was 100% certain that the contract would not be successful in the end, so he simply continued to make trouble. "She is our niece after all, we should give her what we are entitled to."

“The matter of shares is of great importance, so it’s best to follow the rules,” Yu Peiyun said, giving her husband a way out.

Jiang Ruan looked directly at him: "What rules?"

Yu Peiyun said, "All the younger generation of the Qin family who acquire shares must undergo a test of their abilities."

“My mother was forced to leave the Qin family more than 20 years ago, and Mr. Qin also removed her from the family genealogy at that time.” Jiang Ruan wanted them to face their shamelessness. “In other words, I am not a descendant of the Qin family.”

“What happened back then was a bit impulsive on your father’s part, but by blood, you and your mother are both members of the Qin family,” Yu Peiyun said gently.

Jiang Ruan: "Where's the evidence?"

Yu Peiyun was taken aback: "What evidence?"

Jiang Ruan said bluntly, "Evidence to prove that my mother and I are members of the Qin family."

“Everyone in Haicheng knows that Qin An is Dad’s daughter. What evidence do we need?” Yu Peiyun found her words ridiculous.

“According to you, as long as enough people know something, it can be used as evidence,” Jiang Ruan said sharply. “Even if such evidence has no legal basis.”

“This…” Yu Peiyun was speechless for a moment.

"The contract states that Qin An's descendants can buy back the shares at the original price, with no other conditions attached." Jiang Ruan exposed their hypocrisy. "Those who are not on the family tree are not required to abide by your Qin family rules."

A few simple words.

The room fell silent.

They never expected that Jiang Ruan, who looked like a delicate little girl, could be so tough.

"Alright, since you're willing to sell the shares directly to Ruanruan, I won't stop you," Old Master Qin said. "The contract is here, sign it."

“Dad…” Yu Peiyun continued, “It’s better to stick to the original rules.”

Qin Luofeng also chimed in: "The outside world already knows that Jiang Ruan is going to pass the test to get her shares back. Giving them back now could easily have a negative impact on the Qin family."

“Yes,” Yu Peiyun quickly replied.

Qin Muchuan's downcast eyes were filled with rage.

I never imagined that pretending to be polite would lead to such an unmanageable situation.

"Qin Mo, what do you think?" He shifted all the blame onto him. "You're the president of the Qin Group, you understand the market and risks better. Do you think directly giving out shares will have any impact?"

Qin Mo's eyes, like those of the night, fell upon him.

The warning in Qin Muchuan's eyes was quite obvious.

If he dares to agree with Jiang Ruan, he will never forgive him.

"Everyone in Haicheng knows that Jiang Ruan is my aunt's child. If we sell the shares to her directly now, it could easily cause public outcry," Qin Mo said objectively. "To be on the safe side, it's better to stick to the original plan."

Qin Mu had anticipated this outcome: "Brother, you spoke so eloquently just now."

Qin Muchuan: "I was so happy that my niece came back that I forgot about the risks of public opinion."

Qin Muchi sneered twice.

They didn't give me any face at all.

"Uncle didn't think this through," Qin Muchuan said to Jiang Ruan with a guilty expression. "I'll treat you to a meal another day to apologize."

"Forget about the meal." Jiang Ruan didn't follow their sarcastic tone and directly retorted, "I'm afraid my uncle will forget his wallet and make me pay after we finish eating."
