Chapter 862 Want to Know More

Qin Jiangye asked in a drawn-out tone, "So what's your plan?"

Secretary Qin remained unsmiling: "Appropriate flattery."

Qin Jiangye smiled and said, "You just said that Lin Tan is an artist under the company."

Secretary Qin remained silent.

“If you’re worried, you can talk to her.” Qin Jiangye’s perspective on the issue differed from that of Secretary Qin. “As for Qin Mo, if he really retaliates, I’ll tell Grandpa. The Qin family will never allow the patriarch to act impulsively because of his personal feelings.”

"You still intend to promote him." Secretary Qin understood his meaning.

"Lin Tan is a promising talent. Signing her back then was not only to give Qin Mo face, but also because we saw her potential." Qin Jiangye was unusually serious. "It's actually a good thing that she has fallen out with Qin Mo now."

Secretary Qin: "?"

Good news?

Qin Jiangye smiled at him and said, "If they hadn't fallen out, I would have had to worry that after they got married, Lin Tan would have retired from the entertainment industry and gone back to be the matriarch of the family. That would have been a real loss."

Secretary Qin thought for a moment.

No denial.

"Do you know why they fell out?" Qin Jiangye asked.

"I'm not entirely sure." Secretary Qin didn't make any assumptions. "I only know that before they fell out, Qin Mo was in a car accident and went to the hospital, and Lin Tan met with Madam Yu and Qin Luofeng."

Qin Jiangye: "What was Qin Mo's reaction?"

Secretary Qin: "She was discharged from the hospital that day and later went to a bar for drinks."

"Lin Tan should still be supported as Jin Yue suggested," Qin Jiangye concluded. "I'm going to visit my cousin's grandfather later, you don't need to see me off."

Secretary Qin: "Qin Mo went too."

Qin Jiangye was somewhat surprised, then smiled and said, "Perfect."

After getting off work that day.

He then went to Jiang Ruan's house.

He happened to run into Jiang Ruan when he arrived, and Huo Zhizhou got off the bus with her.

"Little cousin," Qin Jiangye greeted her with a smile.

Jiang Ruan held her phone in her hand: "Come see Grandpa?"

Qin Jiangye: "Yes, is Grandpa here?"

"He should be over by the pavilion," Jiang Ruan said, glancing at her watch. "If he's not there, he's playing chess with Uncle Li in the garden."

"Okay," Qin Jiangye replied.

He didn't linger any longer and walked towards the pavilion.

When he arrived, Old Master Qin was sitting there chatting with Qin Mo. He didn't know what the two were talking about. The old man stared at Qin Mo, who had a calm and indifferent expression.

"Grandpa." Qin Jiangye walked over and greeted them, his gaze sweeping over them one by one. "What are you two talking about? You look so serious."

"What else can we talk about?" Old Master Qin said casually. "Just ask him how things are going with Lin Tan, but he just kept quiet. I even suspect he's using some trick to make Lin Tan like him."

Qin Jiangye raised an eyebrow slightly and sat down casually.

I was originally worried about how to bring up this topic and probe the relationship between Qin Mo and Lin Tan.

I never expected to be so lucky.

"Although he doesn't talk much, he's very reliable," Qin Jiangye said casually. "Otherwise, he wouldn't have arranged for Lin Tan to work at my company and asked me to take good care of her."

Old Master Qin sighed.

Qin Jiangye said, "Don't worry, he might bring Lin Tan back to you one day and tell you he wants to get married."

Old Master Qin: "Do you know the inside story?"

Qin Jiangye: "I don't have that ability."

Old Master Qin stared at him.

It's clear they won't let him off the hook until he explains himself.

"They're in a great relationship now. Lin Tan is in love with him, and he cares about Lin Tan too." Qin Jiangye pretended not to know about their falling out and said with a gossipy look on his face, "At the wrap party before, he got anxious when Lin Tan disappeared for a while."

"If you like him, why don't you get along well?" Old Master Qin said. "Don't tell me it's because you can't compete with that Huo family brat."

Qin Mo paused.

A layer of emotion settled in his dark eyes.

Those memories that he had suppressed resurfaced once again.

"Or are you still angry about what I said to you last time?" Old Master Qin asked.

Qin Mo: "No."

Grandpa Qin: "So, what's the progress between you and Lin Tan?"

Qin Mo pursed his thin lips into a straight line.

His eyes were very dark.

"Although I told you last time to remember that you are the head of the Qin family and not to act too impulsively," said Old Master Qin, "if Lin Tan is your wife, then it is only right for the head of the family to protect his wife."

Qin Mo's gaze paused.

Looking over with suppressed emotions.

"As long as you get your marriage certificate, you can decide how to protect her." In the end, Old Master Qin couldn't bear to put him in a difficult position. At first, he valued the family, but after listening to Huo Zhizhou's words, he didn't want his grandson to lose to others in this matter.

"Grandpa..." Qin Mo didn't expect him to make such a compromise.

"As for your mother, I'll find some time to invite her over and talk to her," said Old Master Qin. "As long as you like each other, you should get things done as soon as possible."

Qin Mo's aura was somewhat subdued.

After a while.

He then said, "I broke up with her."

Old Master Qin: "?"

Old Master Qin: "Separate?"

"After spending some time together, we realized we weren't a good match." Qin Mo's eyes remained unchanged, but his voice was less cold and a little more husky than usual. "So we went our separate ways."

"If it really wasn't a good match, would you have waited for so long?" Old Master Qin didn't believe him.

Qin Mo didn't say anything.

Old Master Qin: "You didn't win against Huo Sinian?"

Qin Mo avoided the topic.

From a certain perspective, it can be considered that they didn't manage to steal it.

But sandalwood isn't a commodity, so how can it be considered robbery?

"I told you to speak properly, don't have that cold face." Old Master Qin didn't take it entirely seriously, only saying that his talk of breaking up was because the two of them had a fight. "If you like him, find someone to talk to properly, don't leave any regrets."

Qin Mo remained silent.

Even if we separate.

Even though he hated what she said.

But I still don't want to tell Grandpa what she did and what she said.

"Chi Yuan has something to discuss with me." Qin Mo didn't want to talk any further. "I'll go inside first."

Old Master Qin: "Wait a minute."

Qin Mo looked over.

With a concerned look in his eyes, Old Master Qin asked, "How is your injury? Did you go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up?"

Qin Mo pursed his lips, his voice regaining its usual coldness: "The review will be conducted tomorrow."

Grandpa Qin: "Does it still hurt?"

Qin Mo: "It doesn't hurt."

Grandpa Qin: "Is there anything that's bothering you?"

Qin Mo: "No, everything is normal, you don't need to worry."

Since the car accident, the only person who has shown him the most concern is his grandfather, who calls him almost every day to ask about his condition, sometimes asking in the morning and then again in the evening.

However, it was his mother and younger brother.

There has been no further news from the hospital.

But this is the norm.

"Alright." Old Master Qin didn't say anything more. "Go and get busy. Remember to check back tomorrow."

Qin Mo said "Mm".

After saying goodbye to Grandpa Qin, he stood up and left.

He had only walked halfway when he suddenly bumped into Jiang Ruan, who was walking in his direction. Whether it was his grandfather's words that had touched him or his mind had been in a rush, he suddenly wanted to find out more about the situation.

"Jiang Ruan," he called out to her.

Jiang Ruan: "Hmm?"

Qin Mo moved his lips, but finally said what was on the tip of his tongue: "What kind of person do you think Lin Tan is?"
