Chapter 785 Please Trust Me Just This Once

"I know my own affairs." Qin Mo was distant and not at all friendly to him. "I don't need you to worry about me."

"I'm your father." Qin Muchuan's voice suddenly turned cold. He hadn't expected his father to be so rebellious. "Can't I even discipline you? Don't forget who you owe your current position to."

Qin Mo raised his eyes and asked, "Who?"

Qin Muchuan opened his mouth.

Before he could even speak, Qin Mo interrupted, "You? Or Mom?"

"Isn't that right?" Qin Muchuan disliked his attitude. "Without the shares and assets I seized from Qin An, could you be the glamorous young master of the Qin family today?"

"I can." Qin Mo said simply.

Qin Muchuan paused.

The words of rebuttal were on the tip of my tongue, but I couldn't bring myself to say them.

He knew Qin Mo was telling the truth, and he also knew that if things were really as Qin Mo described, he could still live a very successful life.

But he couldn't back down.

"I will handle your affairs, in exchange you will not bother Lin Tan." Qin Mo spoke calmly, but his indifference gave off a strong sense of pressure. "Otherwise, I will not stop Li Zhishen from causing you trouble."

According to his plan, as long as he submits those documents, reducing his sentence by more than half will not be difficult.

It's not impossible that she might eventually receive a suspended sentence.

But if this happens, Li Zhishen, with his fiery temper, will likely beat his father up again. Without his intervention, his father won't escape this beating.

"You're threatening me for a woman?" Qin Muchuan was furious.

"Interpret it however you like," Qin Mo said, completely unconcerned. "I've said everything I needed to say."

Qin Muchuan's chest heaved with anger.

If he had known that Qin Mo would grow up to be like this, he should have had the old man focus on cultivating Luo Feng and given all the power in the family to Luo Feng!

Qin Mo didn't know what he was thinking, nor did he care.

After saying those words, he went downstairs and left.

Seeing him walk towards the door without even glancing at him, Qin Luofeng, who was sitting on the sofa, quickly stood up and called out to him, "Brother."

Qin Mo stopped and glanced sideways.

Qin Luofeng was the only one of the three who cared about him: "You haven't had dinner yet, have you? I asked the kitchen to make some. Sit down and chat for a while before you eat and go back."

Qin Mo subconsciously looked at Yu Peiyun.

The latter looked rather grim, clearly still bothered by the argument that had just taken place downstairs.

"No, thank you," Qin Mo refused. "I have things to do when I get back."

Qin Luofeng hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Yu Peiyun's words came first: "I told you not to bother, but you didn't believe me. Now look what's happened, they don't appreciate your kindness at all."

"Mom," Qin Luofeng said helplessly.

Yu Peiyun turned her face away.

Qin Mo's eyes were dark and unfathomable. He didn't say anything more, and strode out.

They disappeared from their sight in no time.

Seeing the awkward relationship between the two, Qin Luofeng unconsciously said, "My brother has really sacrificed a lot for this family, why do you have such a big prejudice against him?"

"Alright." Yu Peiyun didn't want to hear any of this. "My complaints about him are all because he's unfilial. If he were as easy to manage as you, would I be this angry?"

"Isn't my brother a worry-free person?" Qin Luofeng retorted.

Yu Peiyun frowned slightly.

From the perspective of raising children, he is indeed less troublesome.

She doesn't cry, fuss, or act naughty. When she's hungry, she'll find food herself, and when she's thirsty, she'll fetch water for herself.

But his heart was never with them.

"Brother is a role model for many parents in educating their children," Qin Luofeng said. "Many people would beg for such a thing, so why do you look down on him?"

Yu Peiyun: "You came back to criticize me?"

Qin Luofeng: "I wouldn't dare, you are my mother."

Yu Peiyun turned her face away: "Hmph."

She also wanted to get along well with Qin Mo.

But every time I see his cold face, I lose my mood, and his words are always sarcastic.

She's his mother, after all; can't she at least soften her tone when she speaks?

"Try to be as patient with me as you are with my brother, and I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised," Qin Luofeng said slowly. "I used to like him a lot, just like you, but now I think he's the best brother in the world."

Yu Peiyun: "?"

Yu Peiyun frowned: "What kind of spell did he cast on you?"

Qin Luofeng pleaded, "Please trust me just this once."

Yu Peiyun's feelings were somewhat complicated.

"Is it okay?" Qin Luofeng took her arm, his face gentle and warm.

“I can agree, but you have to promise me one thing,” Yu Peiyun said.

Qin Luofeng: "Please speak."

"Keep an eye on Lin Tan for me. If she has any contact with Qin Mo, you have to report to me immediately," Yu Peiyun stated her request. "If you can do that, I'll do as you say and get along well with him."

Although Lin Tan's previous words had moved her.

But she was still somewhat uneasy.

Several months have passed.

Qin Mo showed no sign of discouragement.

There has been a lot of marketing for Lin Tan online recently; I don't know if it was Qin Jiangye who did it or Qin Mo who instructed it.

"This..." Qin Luofeng's first reaction was to refuse.

He finally managed to get along well with his brother.

If I were to spy on my future sister-in-law, wouldn't I be ruining the relationship myself?

"If you don't agree, then leave me alone." Yu Peiyun was angry thinking about Qin Mo's cold and aloof demeanor. "And don't say these things in front of me again."

Qin Luofeng: "Please choose another one."

Yu Peiyun stood up: "The door is over there. Goodbye."

"Let me think about it." Qin Luofeng's feelings were complicated. "I'll give you an answer tomorrow at noon."

Yu Peiyun didn't speak, but she tacitly agreed.

After she went upstairs, Qin Luofeng sent Qin Mo a message: 【Are you home yet?】

Qin Mo heard his phone ring, but ignored it.

He leaned back in the back seat and closed his eyes to rest.

After arriving home, he replied to Qin Luofeng with a simple "Mm".

After replying, she opened Lin Tan's chat window and sent her a message: "Do you have time tomorrow? I'd like to talk to you about something."

Lin Tan had just finished applying a face mask when she received this message: 【What's up?】

Qin Mo: [Official business.]

Lin Tan stared at those two words for a few seconds, then quickly replied: 【Okay.】

She knew Qin Mo was a serious person.

He said that serious matters must be serious matters.

Qin Mo: [I'll come find you tomorrow morning.]

Lin Tan: [Okay.]

After sending the message, Qin Mo did not reply.

But Lin Tan didn't expect that Qin Mo's "tomorrow morning" really meant morning.

It was a little past seven in the morning.

Lin Tan had just gotten up and finished washing up when she saw a message from Qin Mo telling her that he had arrived at the door.

As soon as the door opened.

Sure enough, they were outside.

He was wearing a suit, exuding an aloof and indifferent air, and carrying breakfast in his hand.

While she was still in a daze, he handed her what he was holding, his voice as soft as winter snow yet soothing to the soul: "I brought you breakfast."

"Thank you." Lin Tan subconsciously took it, then stepped aside to make room for him. "Have you eaten? Want to eat together?"

Qin Mo originally wanted to say that he had eaten.

But looking into her eyes, the words that were about to come out of his mouth were forced into a single word: "Okay."

He walked in and sat down in the dining chair.

Looking at the person who placed breakfast on the table, Qin Mo recalled the words Qin Jiangye had said last night.
