Chapter 265 The Gift from Old Master Qin

“That’s right!” Qin Muchi quickly agreed, “That’s something your uncle would do.”

"Qin Muchi!" Qin Muchuan's expression suddenly darkened.

My mood from the whole night completely ruined at this moment.

He never expected that Jiang Ruan inherited Qin An's traits in these matters!

His words were barbed and sarcastic!

"I'll have someone send you the company information and test requirements in a couple of days," Qin Mo said, his tone as cold as ever. "I'll explain the details to you later."

Jiang Ruan: "Okay."

"Little cousin, your stance is too wavering," Qin Jiangye said in a light tone. "Didn't Uncle already say he'd give it to you directly?"

Jiang Ruan said, "I didn't hear you say there was any risk."

"A family head and the president of the Qin Group, how could they not handle a mere risk?" Qin Jiangye rested his chin on one hand, looking quite content.

Jiang Ruan: "It can be solved, but I just don't want to solve it."

Qin Jiangye: "Then why did he say those things?"

Jiang Ruan: "To carry a big one."

Qin Jiangye: "Tsk tsk tsk."

Qin Muchuan: "..."

Qin Muchuan was so angry he almost vomited blood!

But he couldn't lose his temper at this moment; if he showed any dissatisfaction with Jiang Ruan, all his previous acting would have been for nothing.

"Mr. Qin, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now." Jiang Ruan didn't plan to stay any longer; this trip had given her a deeper understanding of the true nature of the Qin family.

Qin Jiangye volunteered: "I'll take my little cousin."

There was reluctance in Mr. Qin's eyes.

But he knew that tonight's events had upset the young girl, so he looked at the old butler beside him and instructed, "Give the things to the girl."

The old butler immediately handed a box to Jiang Ruan, saying, "Miss Ruan, please accept this."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

"Open it and take a look," said Old Master Qin.

Jiang Ruan glanced at the people around her.

Grandpa Qin knew what she was thinking: "It's alright, drive."

Jiang Ruan placed her hand on the small sandalwood box, and her slender, fair fingers gently opened the lid, revealing an exquisite jade thumb ring inside.

This is?

"Dad!" Qin Muchi's emotions exploded for the first time. "How could you give her something so valuable!"

“Dad, aren’t you being a bit too biased?” Yu Peiyun also spoke up, her mood sinking little by little. “You’ve never given Qin Mo, who is so outstanding, to him, so why give him to an outsider?”

Qin Muchuan's expression was also very bad.

No one expected that Old Master Qin would give the jade thumb ring, symbolizing the head of the Qin family, to Jiang Ruan.

Logically, the jade thumb ring should be passed down through generations. After Old Master Qin passed away, it was given to Qin Muchuan, who then passed it on to Qin Mo, the most capable person in the family.

But now...

This thing actually ended up in Jiang Ruan's hands!

An outsider!

“This is…” Jiang Ruan realized from their expressions that something was not simple.

"It's nothing valuable, just well-made and I thought you'd like it." Old Master Qin didn't explain further. "If you like it, wear it."

This jade thumb ring was made to the size of a man's thumb.

Old Master Qin knew that Jiang Ruan's fingers were too small to fit the ring, so he had a ring inlaid inside her finger ring beforehand so that the size would be just right when she wore it.

Jiang Ruan subconsciously glanced at the old butler and Qin Mo. The latter's expression remained unchanged, while the former nodded to her, indicating that she could accept the item without worry.

"This originally belonged to your mother." As Grandpa Qin grew older, he gained a clearer understanding of many things. "Giving it to you now is like returning it to its rightful owner."

"Thank you." Jiang Ruan accepted it.

There was only one thought in my mind: take back everything that belongs to my mother.

Grandpa Qin breathed a sigh of relief and looked away from her at Qin Jiangye: "Give me a call after you take Ruan Ruan home."

Qin Jiangye smiled and said, "Okay."

"Don't give me that grinning face," Old Master Qin said, feigning anger. "Get Ruan Ruan home safely, and if you can, go in and say hello to your aunt."

"Okay," Qin Jiangye agreed to each one.

He stood up and looked at Jiang Ruan: "Little cousin, let's go."

"Take care of yourself, I'll head back now." Jiang Ruan said a few words of concern to Grandpa Qin before leaving.

Old Master Qin's mood improved instantly: "Okay."

Jiang Ruan glanced at the others, and when her eyes met those of her second aunt, Mu Yuke, who had a gentle and loving gaze, she nodded slightly as a greeting.

Mu Yuke responded with a smile.

besides.

Jiang Ruan didn't greet anyone else.

Watching them leave, Qin Luofeng took out his phone and sent a message, while Qin Muchuan asked Old Master Qin in a serious and dissatisfied tone, "Dad, what did you mean just now?"

"What do you mean?" Old Master Qin asked naturally.

"That ring is clearly mine, why did you give it to her?" Qin Muchuan was dissatisfied, his face darkening. "She's just an outsider! She doesn't even have the surname Qin!"

"What is your relationship with me? An'an and Ruan Ruan are my relationship with me." Old Master Qin made his stance clear. "If she is an outsider, then Qin Mo, Qin Luofeng, and Qin Jiangye are all outsiders."

Qin Muchuan looked terrible.

Qin Muchi wasn't much better off.

But seeing Qin Muchuan, the original beneficiary, turn out like this, his bad mood improved slightly.

"You knew perfectly well that thing symbolized power and status within the Qin family." Qin Muchuan was genuinely furious. "You gave it to her, did you even consider what people would say about me when they saw it!"

What should have belonged to the head of the family ended up in the hands of a little maid.

Not to mention the outside world will gossip and make sarcastic remarks about him, even the collateral branches of the Qin family will do the same.

This is pushing him into a fire pit!

"When you used every means to force An'an to hand over her shares, weren't you afraid of the gossip?" Old Master Qin was stabbing himself in the back as he said these words.

Without thinking, Qin Muchuan blurted out, "Because you're on our side!"

Old Master Qin's eyes glazed over for a moment.

yes.

At that time, he was confused, favored boys over girls, cared about other people's opinions and the world's gossip, and made the worst decision of his life.

“The item has already been given away. If you care about what others say, then focus on improving your own abilities.” Old Master Qin’s expression was serious, making it clear that this matter was not open to questioning. “Besides, that item never belonged to you in the first place.”

Qin Muchuan, unable to contain his anger, turned and left.

Qin Muchi was too lazy to watch the show anymore.

Soon, only the old butler, Master Qin, and Qin Mo remained in the main hall.

Looking at his grandson, who had always been calm and composed since childhood, Grandpa Qin spoke to him with a serious tone: "I'm giving the thumb ring to Ruan Ruan. Do you have any objections?"

Qin Mo maintained his perpetually icy expression: "No."

Old Master Qin: "Really not?"

"As you said, that originally belonged to Aunt." Qin Mo's expression remained unchanged. "Giving it to Jiang Ruan is a way of returning it to its rightful owner."

"If your father had even a fraction of your awareness, he wouldn't have ended up like this." Old Master Qin's mood was somewhat heavy. Thinking about the test, he asked, "What are you planning to do about Ruan Ruan's ability test?"

Qin Mo: "As usual."

Old Master Qin frowned slightly: "Not releasing water?"

Qin Mo's voice was cold: "I won't let go."

Old Master Qin then asked, "What if I let you release it?"
