Chapter 879 begins to dredge up old grievances.

The two stood side by side, looking at Qin Ce with guilty expressions.

Qin Ce glanced at the two of them and said indifferently, "Why aren't you playing anymore?"

Qin Yi feigned ignorance, "What game? We weren't playing anything..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in his pocket started playing a game.

Qin Yi was immediately embarrassed.

He didn't dare look at Qin Ce, and kept touching his nose.

"Um..." Qiao Xing bit her lip, afraid that Qin Ce would blame Qin Yi, and wanted to explain to him.

But before she could speak, Qin Yi interrupted, "Brother, I was just bored and dragged my sister-in-law to play games. It has nothing to do with her, so don't blame her."

Qin Yi could tell from Qin Ce's expression that he already knew, so he might as well confess before Qin Ce got angry.

Qiao Xing was also involved in playing the game; she didn't want Qin Yi to take the blame alone.

"It's my fault for not controlling myself. I shouldn't have been playing games so late. It's my problem, not Xiaoyi's fault."

The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously lowered their heads, looking as if they were waiting for Qin Ce's judgment.

Qin Ce stared at the two of them in silence, somewhat speechless. "From the moment I walked in until now, have I ever said a single word that I blame you?"

Before he could even say anything, these two started taking the blame for themselves. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was incredibly heartless.

Qin Yi and Qiao Xing both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Qin Ce say that.

Qin Yi relaxed as well. "Brother, why are you getting off work so late?"

Qiao Xing was somewhat surprised that Qin Ce, for the first time ever, didn't blame her.

Qin Ce glanced at Qin Yi indifferently and said, "Grandpa asked me to persuade you to go back."

Qin Yi was taken aback. "So, you've come here to persuade me?"

"no."

Qin Ce asked him, "Tell me first, what are you thinking?"

Qin Yi understood Qin Ce's meaning. He could hide for a while, but not forever. Although he knew Qin Ce wouldn't really kick him out, he couldn't live here forever.

Judging from the relationship between Qin Liang and Qin Ce, if Qin Liang misunderstands Qin Ce and thinks that he instigated Qin Yi not to go home, then Qin Yi will become a complete sinner.

Qin Yi thought for a while before saying to Qin Ce, "Brother, I really don't want to get married. Even if I go back, I won't go on blind dates. I won't stay here for too long. I've thought about it. If it really doesn't work out, I'll go on a trip with my friends in a couple of days and not come back for a year or two. Then Dad won't think about making me go on blind dates anymore."

Qin Ce thought he was too naive. "Travel? You really dare to dream of that? Do you think he'll actually let you have a carefree time abroad for that long?"

Qin Yi said weakly, "Well, I had no other choice."

"If you want to stay here for a few days, I have no objection, but go back when you're done having fun and don't cause me any trouble."

Qiao Xing felt that Qin Ce's words were a bit too serious.

She couldn't help but glance at Qin Yi, afraid that he would feel uncomfortable because Qin Ce was trying to get rid of him.

However, Qin Yi's expression remained normal, and he did not seem angry.

He grabbed a handful of hair, looked up and sighed, "Fine, fine, fine, I'll go back then. It's just a blind date, it's not like I'm going through fire and water, it's no big deal!"

After calming himself down, Qin Yi turned to the two of them and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm going to sleep now. You two should get some rest too."

As soon as Qin Yi left, Qiao Xing said to Qin Ce, "Was what you said just now not very appropriate?"

"What's wrong with it?"

"That's your own brother."

Qin Ce remained calm. "It's precisely because of my younger brother that I said those things."

Qiao Xing didn't understand what he meant.

“His presence here is not a long-term solution. Qin Liang knows he is here, and if he doesn’t return to the capital, he will implicate me in this matter.”

Qin Ce wouldn't care what Qin Yi wanted to do; even if he didn't want to get married, Qin Ce wouldn't worry about it.

However, some people couldn't contain themselves and started plotting behind the scenes. If Qin Yi left them and something happened, it would inevitably give others a handle to cause trouble.

Qin Ce was never worried that he would be implicated.

He just didn't want Qiao Xing to get involved in all this messy stuff.

Qin Liang has that kind of temper; he can easily label you as unfilial for no reason.

Qin Ce could already imagine what kind of trouble he would cause Qin Yi because of Qin Yi's matter.

After listening to what Qin Ce said, Qiao Xing sighed helplessly.

She had previously thought that her relatives were already troublesome enough, since many things were related to money.

But she never expected that even a wealthy family like the Qin family would have complicated family entanglements.

Qin Ce stared at Qiao Xing. "What's wrong? You're not happy that I told him to leave?"

Qiao Xing paused, feeling that his words seemed a little sarcastic.

It took her a while to react, and she hurriedly said, "What?! I was just worried that Xiaoyi would feel uncomfortable. The Qin family forced him to go on blind dates, and he had no choice but to come here. Now that you and Grandpa are both telling him to leave, he can't go anywhere else and can only go back. Wouldn't you feel bad if you were in his shoes?"

"I don't feel uncomfortable," Qin Ce said calmly.

Qiao Xing was about to refute him when she suddenly remembered that Qin Ce had always lived abroad with his mother, and that he and Qin Liang had a bad relationship to begin with, and he had no affection for the Qin family.

Unlike Qin Yi, who grew up in the Qin family and whose life was inextricably linked to them.

Just as Qin Ce said, even if Qin Yi goes abroad, Qin Liang might have a way to bring him back.

Qin Yi didn't like doing business, and unlike Qin Liang, he didn't start his own company early on.

He could refuse to do what Qin Liang asked him to do, but he didn't have the real power to stand up to Qin Liang.

After the two finished talking about Qin Yi, Qiao Xing was a little sleepy and originally planned to go to sleep, but Qin Ce remained seated.

She asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Qin Ce didn't answer her question, but instead asked her, "Do you like playing games?"

They're starting to dredge up old grievances.

Qiao Xing knew he wasn't so easy to talk to!

Qiao Xing explained in a low voice, "I don't really like it that much. I just haven't played it in a long time. Today, Xiao Yi wanted to play too, so I played a couple of rounds with him."

After Qiao Xing finished speaking, he immediately held up three fingers and said, "I haven't played since I came back from Beijing! Just today, I played two rounds and lost track of time..."

"Don't be nervous, I didn't say I was blaming you."

Qiao Xing stared at his face, and he certainly didn't look angry.

But Qiao Xing always felt that things weren't that simple.

After Qin Ce finished speaking, he took out his phone.

"Since you enjoy playing so much, I'll play with you."

Qiao Xing didn't know if he was doing it on purpose or if he really wanted to play with her. She waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, it's too late. Let's go to sleep first."
