Chapter 736 Showdown

But being able to understand something is one thing, not wanting to understand it is another.

Qin Muchuan forced himself to say, "Qin An and Jiang Ruan have so much time to spend with the old man even when they're busy, there's no reason why we, as their son and daughter-in-law, shouldn't have time either."

“We’ve spoken to Qin Mo and Luo Feng, and they’ll be coming every week from now on,” Yu Peiyun added. “We will too.”

"Xiao Yu, there are some things I don't want to say too harshly here." Old Master Qin looked at Qin Muchuan, his eyes filled with a clear chill and a sense of oppression. "But if you still can't understand human language, don't blame me for making things too ugly."

"What do you mean by that, Father?" Qin Muchuan's expression turned somewhat grim.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking," Old Master Qin exposed him. "Aren't you just trying to use the excuse of seeing me to get attention from An'an? So you can get a lighter sentence?"

"Is that how you see me?" Qin Muchuan asked.

Old Master Qin snorted coldly.

I'm too lazy to even say anything.

He knew his own son's character well.

"We weren't the ones who didn't visit you at the old house often before, were we?" Qin Muchuan's voice was heavy, his acting superb for the sake of his purpose. "But after this period of time, I've come to understand a lot..."

"You understand that if you don't come to see the inheritance soon, you won't get a share, right?" Old Master Qin interrupted him before he could finish speaking.

Qin Muchuan stopped speaking.

Old Master Qin looked at him and said, "You don't need to act in front of me. As your father, I know your personalities very well. If there wasn't something to gain, would you have come?"

Let alone visiting.

If he really dies, all those two kids will think about is how to divide the inheritance.

Is there any inheritance or anything like that?

"Don't even think about explaining anything," Old Master Qin said. "If you really want to prove that you're not profiting from this, then don't come here again, and I'll believe you."

These words were spoken.

A sinister glint flashed across Qin Muchuan's eyes.

If he doesn't come here, how can he apologize to Qin An and make his presence known?

How can we ensure that the old man leaves him a substantial amount of wealth from his remaining estate?

"In your eyes, is everything I do just for personal gain?" Qin Muchuan suppressed his emotions, his voice slightly hoarse. "Even if Qin An and Jiang Ruan harmed you, it was for your own good?"

Jiang Ruan, who hadn't spoken but had been called out, was speechless: "?"

Old Master Qin: "Yes."

He spoke without the slightest hesitation, his words utterly decisive.

If it weren't for that incident and the matter with An'an, he wouldn't have been so disrespectful, let alone said such hurtful things.

But after all that, he knew very well what kind of person Qin Muchuan was.

Compared to him, Qin Muchi is a good person.

"You're really direct, not even bothering to pretend." Qin Muchuan was upset. "If you dislike me so much, why did you give me the position of family head in the first place?"

"Don't you know best yourself?" Old Master Qin said.

Qin Muchuan frowned slightly: "What?"

Old Master Qin took a deep breath, but still didn't say anything.

No matter what, Qin Muchuan is still his son. Unless absolutely necessary, he still wants to save him some face. At least if this kind of thing that everyone knows is not exposed, it will be easier to meet again in the future.

"What do you mean by 'I know best'?" Qin Muchuan insisted, certain that the old man was unaware of the details from back then. "I never said I would ask you to give me the position of family head."

"Ruanruan, see the guest out." Old Master Qin didn't want to say anything more.

To continue would mean a complete breakdown in relations.

They are family after all.

He didn't want things to get too awkward.

"You dislike me because of these unfounded accusations? Are you biased towards Qin An?" Qin Muchuan was pretending at first, but now he was genuinely angry.

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.

He subconsciously looked at Old Master Qin.

She was used to laying things out on the table, but her grandfather clearly had reservations.

“Grandpa, not everyone deserves your sacrifice for them,” Jiang Ruan said, not wanting Grandpa Qin to bear the burden of life’s hardships. “Some people will be grateful, while others will only feel that they have suffered a great injustice.”

"What do you mean by that?" Qin Muchuan stared at her.

"Whether my serious illness was an accident or not, you and Qin Muchi know best," Old Master Qin rarely spoke. "You also know whether you went to great lengths to take the position of family head."

Qin Muchuan paused.

"Do you think it's just a coincidence that Qin Mo stays by my side every time I'm sick and need an IV drip?" Old Master Qin looked at him and said, word by word.

Qin Muchuan's mind went blank for a moment.

How could this be...?

How could he possibly know?

"you……"

"I didn't mention it because you're my son, and I didn't want to embarrass you." Old Master Qin's voice was deep. "Now, do you still think you have the right to stand up for yourself?"

"When did you find out?" Qin Muchuan's chest pounded violently.

Grandpa Qin: "After being discharged from the hospital following that serious illness."

Qin Muchuan's lips trembled slightly.

So early.

"Then why..." Qin Muchuan paused, his emotions churning, "...why didn't you take the power back?"

At that time, it wouldn't have been difficult for him to take it back.

Even a single sentence could take back everything that was given to him.

"What will the rest of the Qin family think of you if I take this back?" Old Master Qin didn't like to say sentimental things, but he had to say it now. "If you are taken back right after you got the position of head of the family and the management of the Qin Group, you will become the laughing stock of the family and the subject of gossip."

It's just a matter of getting back a single sentence.

After all, he still holds other power and connections.

But Qin Muchuan was, after all, his own child, and how could he bear to let him suffer the ridicule of others?

If he doesn't do a good job and gets laughed at, it's his own problem with his ability.

But giving it and then taking it back is what he caused him.

"Since you used every means to get those positions, you have to bear the consequences yourself." It was rare for Old Master Qin to say so much at once. "Besides, An'an had a complete plan for the entire Qin Group back then. It wouldn't have been difficult for her to make the Qin Group better and better. Who knew you would be so arrogant."

In the past, Qin Muchuan would have exploded upon hearing these words.

Now, however, there is only silence.

Endless silence.

He had always felt that the old man didn't care about him and Qin Muchi. With a genius like Qin An around, he would never see their value and abilities.

But now.

The old man knew perfectly well that they were the ones who did those things, but he didn't expose them or embarrass them.

"So you're staying here now because..." He recalled the incident of the old man falling during the Spring Festival, when Qin Mo, Jiang Ruan, and Qin Jiangye took turns watching over him while he received an IV drip.

During that period, he even considered fighting with Qin Muchi.

"The main reason is that I want to be with An'an," said Grandpa Qin. "I owe her too much over the years."

Qin Muchuan lowered his eyes.

Silence enveloped him.

After a long pause, he finally spoke: "The secondary reason is that we're afraid of what happened back then happening again, isn't that right?"

Old Master Qin remained silent.

But Qin Muchuan knew he had guessed correctly.

He should be angry; he should feel that the old man doesn't trust him.

But I also understand that they really did have those thoughts, including when the old man was sick and hospitalized last time and they weren't allowed in; their thoughts were quite strong then.
