Chapter 669 It's disgusting to hear it coming from your mouth.
Upon seeing them arrive, the bodyguard did not immediately let them in. Instead, he consulted Jiang An, who was at home: "Madam, Qin Mo of the Qin Group and Qin Muchuan, the head of the Qin family, have something to discuss with you."
Jiang An: "I won't see you."
Bodyguard: "Okay."
Hang up the phone.
The bodyguard said earnestly, "Madam says she won't see you. Please leave."
Qin Muchuan frowned slightly, and his expression immediately turned sour.
Before he could speak, Qin Mo spoke up first: "Could you please pass on this message for us? Tell her that as long as she's willing to see us, everything is negotiable."
The bodyguard relayed the message.
Jiang An simply replied, "Then let them stand at the door for an hour to show their sincerity."
Qin Muchuan was immediately displeased upon hearing this.
They're already having trouble before they even get inside.
If they get in, things will get really bad.
"It's just..." an apology, right? He didn't say it!
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Mo said, "Okay."
After saying that, he stood at the door with Qin Muchuan.
Qin Muchuan was seething with anger. Considering the bodyguards guarding the door, he lowered his voice and said to Qin Mo, "Listen to her now. She'll only go further once we're inside."
"Don't speak, just wait." Qin Mo said simply.
They usually get in without any problems, but today they were stopped for only one reason—
His aunt knew why he had come here.
Qin Muchuan wanted to get angry, but he swallowed his anger because of the sentencing issue.
About half an hour.
The sun gradually shone on their location.
Although the early summer weather wasn't very hot, the direct sunlight still made it a bit painful.
Jiang An glanced at the security camera outside the gate, showing no intention of letting them in. Li Zhishen, who had come over for breakfast, asked, "Are we just going to let them stand at the door?"
Jiang An: "He needs to know that he can't just apologize whenever he wants."
“What I mean is, aren’t you going to invite some people to come and see him make a fool of himself?” Li Zhishen said. As the head of the Li family, he had many methods. “Qin Muchuan cares a lot about his reputation. If people find out that he came to apologize to you but was stopped at the door, he would probably be furious.”
Jiang An stared at him.
Li Zhishen felt a chill run down his spine under that gaze: "What's wrong?"
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to," Jiang An said casually.
Li Zhishen: "?"
Li Zhishen blurted out, "What thoughts could I possibly have? My only thought is to be on the same household register as you and Ruan Ruan."
"Qin Muchuan is still a member of the Qin family, no matter what." Jiang An wanted to make Qin Muchuan uncomfortable, but not to the point of making the family he grew up in Haicheng a laughing stock. "If we let outsiders laugh at the Qin family, wouldn't that drag Ruan Ruan down with us?"
Ruan Ruan is now a director of the Qin Group.
It is closely related to the Qin family.
“I didn’t expect that,” Li Zhishen said.
“You didn’t expect this, you just wanted to see the Qin family make a scene as a member of the Li family.” Jiang An said deliberately, “Knowing that Ruan Ruan and Qin Mo are now the pillars of the Qin Group, and you have no successor, you started to panic.”
Li Zhishen: "..."
Li Zhishen: "If I had such thoughts, may I be struck by lightning."
Jiang An: "If oaths were useful, you would have died countless times back then."
Li Zhishen: "An'an."
Jiang An: "It's disgusting to hear those two words come out of your mouth."
"I'm going to play chess with the old man." Li Zhishen had no choice and didn't want to stay any longer and annoy her.
Jiang An glanced at him but didn't say a word.
Li Zhishen's heart tightened under that gaze.
Even after spending several months together, he still couldn't fully understand her thoughts.
"Weren't you supposed to go play chess with the old man?" Jiang An asked, seeing him still standing there. "Why haven't you moved yet?"
Li Zhishen boldly guessed, "After thinking about it, I'll stay. In case there's anything I need to do later."
Jiang An didn't speak.
Calmly poured himself a cup of tea.
Seeing this, Li Zhishen knew he had made the right bet.
Time passed by, bit by bit.
Half an hour later, Jiang An looked at Li Zhishen and said, "They can come in now."
Li Zhishen: "Me?"
Jiang An: "You can choose not to go."
"Go." Li Zhishen immediately stood up, shook his clothes, and looked much more energetic.
He knew very well that An'an had asked him to go because she considered him one of her own.
After all, Qin Muchuan is the head of the Qin family.
Sending his arch-rival, the head of the Li family, to let him in would be tantamount to letting him make a fool of himself.
Outside the door.
Qin Muchuan and the others were getting a little annoyed.
Seeing that the bodyguard's phone hadn't rung yet, he took a deep breath and whispered to Qin Mo, "It's been an hour and they still won't let us in. I think she's deliberately making things difficult for me."
"Wait another hour. If we can't get in, we'll come back tomorrow," Qin Mo said.
It would be best if we could get in today.
Jiang Ruan is not home.
You can say anything to your aunt.
If Jiang Ruan is at home, there won't be any chance to talk.
"Still waiting?" Qin Muchuan's emotions immediately flared up.
“It’s normal for your aunt to be upset about what you did,” Qin Mo said rationally. “As long as she didn’t kick us out, everything she did was worth it.”
Qin Muchuan frowned slightly.
In the end, he swallowed back the curses that were in his mind.
Just then.
Li Zhishen came out from inside.
Seeing Qin Muchuan's face full of dissatisfaction, he deliberately stood in the middle of the gate and said sarcastically, "Isn't this Patriarch Qin? Why are you standing here as punishment?"
Qin Muchuan: "..."
Qin Muchuan retorted without hesitation: "What's it to you?"
Anyway, this person wasn't the one he was apologizing to.
He didn't need to hold back.
“What are you saying? This place is practically my home.” Li Zhishen acted naturally. “How can it have nothing to do with me?”
Qin Muchuan ground his back molars.
Qin Mo took the initiative to say, "Since this is your second home, could you please ask your aunt to let us in? We would like to apologize to her in person for what happened before."
"It's nothing," Li Zhishen blurted out.
A hint of surprise flashed in Qin Mo's eyes.
It seemed they hadn't expected him to be able to make the decision.
As far as he knew, Chairman Li's relationship with his aunt was very delicate.
Although he could come and go freely here, his aunt's attitude towards him was not particularly warm.
“But why should I help you?” Li Zhishen’s gaze fell on Qin Muchuan. “My relationship with either of you is not exactly good.”
These words were spoken.
A brief silence fell over the room.
Qin Moshen looked over with his unfathomable gaze, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Because it was my aunt who let us in."
Qin Muchuan: "?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Zhishen's eyes.
He knew Qin Mo was intelligent.
But I didn't expect him to be able to guess that.
“It’s true that she let you in, but she won’t say anything if I don’t.” Li Zhishen laid his cards on the table, without any pretense.
"What do you want?" Qin Mo asked.
Li Zhishen stared at him, his mind racing.
I thought about it for a long time.
I couldn't think of anything interesting.
"I haven't thought of anything yet, but I'll tell you when I do," Li Zhishen said. "Just remember that you owe me a favor."
Qin Mo: "Okay."
Qin Muchuan: "?"
Is this all good?
This kid is usually so clever.
