Chapter 578 Qin Luofeng's Choice
“Those are just rumors.” Qin Luofeng wouldn’t admit it so easily. “You’d rather believe rumors than your own son?”
"I know in my heart whether it's a rumor or not." Old Master Qin said seriously and with an air of authority, "If he could come up with those ways to deal with An'an when he was young, it's not surprising that he would do those things now."
“People change,” Qin Luofeng tried to persuade. “Like you, did you hurt your aunt back then? Would you hurt her again now?”
These words were spoken.
Everyone's eyes turned to him.
It seemed he never expected to say those words.
“I know you won’t, and neither will my father,” Qin Luofeng said righteously. “I will find out who is spreading these things and make him give an explanation.”
"You're making it sound so real," Qin Muchi said from the side.
Qin Luofeng looked over; beneath his gentle and calm exterior lay a hint of danger.
Qin Muchi was stunned.
"Since you're alright, I'll head back now." Qin Luofeng wasn't in the mood to stay any longer. "We'll come see you again when you want to."
Old Master Qin frowned slightly.
If he hadn't known beforehand that it was true, he would have been fooled by Luo Feng's words and wondered if he had truly wronged them.
Luo Feng, when did you become like this?
"You really didn't do what happened to your aunt?" He decided to give him another chance.
After all, I watched them grow up.
If he is willing to tell the whole truth, he can be excluded from the will and treated fairly. But if he continues to lie, then don't blame him for not considering him.
"Tell the truth," Old Master Qin said before he could speak. "Don't lie to me."
"No," Qin Luofeng said decisively.
He had previously considered turning himself in if he were caught because he felt that even if the truth came out one day, his grandfather would be on their side and wouldn't just stand by and watch him get into trouble.
But now it seems he was overthinking things.
Grandpa only has eyes for Jiang Ruan and his aunt now; he can't tolerate his grandson and son.
"Think carefully before you answer." Old Master Qin looked at him, his gaze so sharp it could see right through him. "You only get one chance, don't waste it."
"I've said everything I needed to say." Qin Luofeng was quite shrewd. "Since you're convinced that we did it, nothing I say will change your mind. All you want is that one answer."
Old Master Qin's chest rose and fell slightly.
You could tell he was a little angry.
He never expected Qin Luofeng to turn out like this!
"Ahem." Jiang An made a sound.
Old Master Qin immediately adjusted his state and dissipated the anger he had just felt.
"I have a question for you," Qin Luofeng said.
Old Master Qin: "Go on."
"If, I mean if we really did this, what would you do?" Qin Luofeng really wanted to know the answer.
Even if what I just said was already the answer.
He still wanted to hear something more specific.
He wondered if his grandfather would stand with them.
"Whoever made a mistake should pay the price," said Old Master Qin, answering according to Jiang An's instructions.
Qin Luofeng asked, "If the price is that I have to go in, will you stop me?"
"No," Old Master Qin said directly.
Qin Luofeng understood: "I understand."
"What Mr. Qin means is that he won't help you clear your name or help us investigate; he won't get involved in this matter," Jiang An explained. From a certain perspective, she hoped Qin Luofeng would admit it himself.
Qin Luofeng suppressed his emotions and didn't show them: "I know."
Jiang An looked at him.
That expression didn't suggest he knew.
It's more like they feel the old man is on their side.
"I'm leaving now. You should get some rest." Qin Luofeng suddenly became somewhat distant.
After saying that, he turned and left without paying any attention to Old Master Qin's expression.
Watching his retreating figure, a hint of sadness appeared in Old Master Qin's eyes.
He knew Qin Luofeng had changed.
He knew that Qin Luofeng wanted him to stand on his side and tell An'an and Ruan Ruan not to pursue the matter, but he had been biased towards them for more than 20 years, and now he was just maintaining neutrality, and he was already so emotional.
How much pain must An'an and Ruan Ruan have endured during those years of favoritism towards them?
Thinking about this...
He looked at Jiang Ruan and Jiang An.
Jiang Ruan: "?"
Jiang An: "?"
A hint of doubt appeared in their eyes.
I don't quite understand what his complicated expression means.
"You really don't want me to get involved?" Old Master Qin wanted to do something for them.
Jiang An: "No need."
There's not much room for maneuver in this matter.
By handling things on her own, Ruan Ruan can not only develop her abilities but also gain a clearer understanding of certain matters.
She is more than 20 years older than Ruan Ruan, and one day she will leave this world before her. When that time comes, she will have to rely on Ruan Ruan for everything. Now that she is here, at least she can answer any questions she may have.
Qin Luofeng's side has already decided that Old Master Qin is on Jiang Ruan's side.
Halfway there.
He was stopped by someone.
Looking at the person in front of him, he took the initiative to politely greet him, "Grandpa Butler."
"Did you have an unpleasant conversation with your grandfather?" the old butler asked.
Qin Luofeng remained silent.
It's not just unpleasant.
It's disappointment.
“I heard everything we just talked about,” the old butler tried to persuade him. “Whether you did that or not, the old man knows perfectly well. After all, he’s been the head of the family for so many years.”
Qin Luofeng said, "We haven't done that."
The old butler looked at him and said, "You don't need to be so wary. This is something everyone knows, and there's not much point in denying it."
"You also think we did it?" Qin Luofeng wouldn't admit it.
He Jia has now turned herself in.
Jiang Ruan took action.
If the conversation was recorded or monitored, he will be in deep trouble.
“Whether I think it or not is not important. What is important is that you have wasted the old man’s good intentions.” The old butler understood the old man’s thoughts very well, after all, they had been together for so many years. “If you openly admit it, you will not be shortchanged in the will.”
Qin Luofeng's eyes flickered slightly.
The old butler said, "Think it over carefully. As long as you haven't left this place, you still have a chance to say it again."
"No need," Qin Luofeng said decisively. "I've said what I needed to say. Since Grandpa doesn't believe me, there's no need for me to say anything more."
He left after saying that.
Without the slightest hesitation.
The old butler sighed inwardly.
What happened to this perfectly healthy child?
He turned back, walked up to Old Master Qin, and bent down to say, "You told him everything, but he still insists that they didn't do it and thinks that you don't believe him."
Old Master Qin frowned slightly.
This child.
They were probably led astray by Qin Muchuan.
"If you don't cherish it, so be it; people always learn their lesson."
"Is there anything else? If not, I'm leaving." Qin Muchi spoke up from the side, still looking like he was doing nothing and just messing around.
