Chapter 931 You're too naive

After listening to what Qin Ce said, Qiao Xing felt it was all very surreal.

The Qin family appeared to be living a peaceful life, but unexpectedly, something like this happened.

Qiao Xing suddenly realized something. "So, your dad's change of attitude towards you is also because of this?"

"I don't know, maybe. What he does is his business, and I don't care how he treats me."

Qiao Xing understood.

Qin Ce had long known that Qin Liang wouldn't change his attitude towards him without a reason.

Qin Yi refuses to join the Qin family, and Qin Ji is unreliable.

He didn't have much real power, but he couldn't just stand by and watch the Qin family run into all sorts of problems while he was helpless.

Therefore, he placed his hopes on Qin Ce.

His attitude toward Qin Ce softened somewhat, which could only mean two things: either he wanted the shares in Qin Ce's hands.

Or they might want to hand the Qin family over to Qin Ce directly.

Based on Qin Ce's understanding of Qin Liang, it's obvious that it's the former.

But Qiao Xing said, "What if he actually wants to hand over the Qin family business to you to manage?"

Qin Ce dismissed it, saying, "You're too naive."

"It's not that I'm naive. You said it yourself, you're the largest shareholder of Qin's now. He's not stupid; he knows you won't easily hand over your shares. So there's no need for him to keep arguing with you about this. Maybe he's realized this himself, so he doesn't care about the shares anymore and just wants you to manage Qin's?"

Qin Liang is over fifty years old, and no matter how hard he wants to work, his body can't keep up.

However, the Qin family was the culmination of his life's work, and he understood very well that if he and Qin Ce continued to be at odds, the only one who would be affected in the end would be the Qin family.

Especially now that Qin Ji and Qin Yi are unreliable, Qin Liang is even less likely to covet the shares held by Qin Ce.

Qin Ce scoffed, “There’s only one reason he’d let me manage Qin’s Group: he’s afraid I might use the shares I have to do something to Qin’s Group now, or he’s afraid that if I retaliate against him, Qin’s Group will be destroyed. I’m still a member of the Qin family, after all. Even if Qin’s Group is handed over to me, it will still belong to Qin Liang.”

This not only provided them with another person to stabilize the Qin family, but also allowed them to naturally acquire the shares held by Qin Ce.

Qin Liang's scheme has probably been heard by everyone in Chongqing.

Qiao Xing pursed her lips but didn't say anything.

She couldn't comment on the matter, since Qin Ce had never let go of his resentment towards Qin Liang.

Despite her and Grandpa Qin's constant attempts to persuade him, Qin Ce persisted in his own ideas.

Qiao Xing asked him, "Even if he really wanted you to manage the Qin family, you wouldn't agree?"

"No," Qin Ce said decisively.

Qin Ce knew what Qin Liang was thinking.

Either acknowledge his identity as a member of the Qin family to his face, and admit that he is Qin Liang's son.

They either willingly hand over their shares and sever all ties with the Qin family from then on.

The reason why Qin Liang made others think that he intended to let Qin Ce manage the Qin family was because of Qin Liang.

I just wanted to tell Qin Ce that I had already given him a way out, so he shouldn't be ungrateful.

This is Qin Liang's consistent style.

Therefore, the more he acted this way, the more Qin Ce wanted to do the opposite.

Qiao Xing shook his head, "You two, father and son..."

Qin Liang clearly wanted Qin Ce's help, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Now that Qin Ce has misunderstood them like this, not only has the relationship between the two not eased, but it has become even more strained.

Qiao Xing and Qin Ce were both sleepy from talking. "You can handle this yourself. Anyway, we'll go back after we finish treating Grandpa."

"Go to sleep, it's getting late."

Qiao Xing yawned and was just about to lie down when Qin Ce asked her a question.

"How have you been staying here these past few days?"

Qiao Xing said, "It's fine, what's wrong?"

“If you feel uncomfortable, tell me, and I’ll let Xing Jiu buy a house.”

Qiao Xing was already sleepy, but upon hearing his words, she immediately lost all sleepiness. "What's wrong? What happened? Why do you suddenly want to buy a house?"

Qin Ce said, "Grandpa's condition won't recover in just one or two months. If we really stay here for a year or even longer, I'm afraid you'll feel uncomfortable."

Qiao Xing thought he was worried that Qin Fei would affect him, so he said, "There's nothing to be uncomfortable about. Buying a house costs money. There's no need to buy one that's too expensive, and I wouldn't feel at ease living in one that's too cheap. Living here is fine."

Although living at the Qin family's house wasn't as comfortable as being at home, and despite Wang Yu taking good care of her every day, Qiao Xing still felt very awkward.

However, Qiao Xing kept in mind what Grandpa Qin had said: now that they were back, he wanted Qin Liang and his son to put aside their past conflicts and live happily as a family.

At least until he closed his eyes, he didn't want to look at the father and son, who didn't act like father and son, or like family.

"Is that really what you think?"

Qin didn't care, because he had a specific purpose in agreeing to let Qiao Xing stay at the Qin family home.

But Qin Yi's words just now reminded him.

However, what he was worried about was not what Qin Fei would do to Qiao Xing, but that Qiao Xing would be wronged.

After all, no one wants to face Wang Yu's hypocritical face and Qin Fei's foul temper every day.

Qiao Xing nodded and said, "It doesn't matter where we stay, staying here will save us the trouble of hiring a nanny. Anyway, my due date is still two or three months away. Maybe Grandpa's illness will be cured before I give birth, and then we can go back."

Qin Ce said nothing more, but instructed her, "Tell me if anything is bothering you, especially in front of Qin Fei. You are her elder, so you don't need to be polite to her or give her face."

Qiao Xing hummed in agreement, but at the same time couldn't help but wonder, "Since you're so concerned about whether it's convenient for me to stay here, why did you agree to let me come to the Qin family's house?"

Qin Ce said calmly, "Didn't you say it was about saving money?"

Qiao Xing paused, realizing that she did seem to have said that.

No, that's not what she meant.

Qin Ce didn't give her any time to think. Without saying a word, he pulled her into his arms and turned off the lights.

"Go to sleep."

The night was slightly cool. Qin Ce and Qiao Xing slept in each other's arms, while Shen Boyan was still sitting in front of his computer. It was already past eleven o'clock, but he had no intention of going to sleep.

Tao Yang and the others called him early this morning during the game's closed beta test.

But he was in the hospital at the time and couldn't pick him up.

When he finished his work, Shen Boyan originally wanted to call Tao Yang back, but after taking out his phone, he hesitated.

He didn't know if he could ever return to Chongqing. If Shen Congyao's illness was truly beyond saving, there were still many things in the Shen family that he needed to deal with.

When he arrived, he had already decided to hand over the Big Bad Wolf to Tao Yang and Sun Miao to develop.

As for how far things can develop, that depends on their fate.

Shen Boyan knew that there would definitely be problems during this closed beta test, and Tao Yang and Sun Miao would be very busy, but after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to leave everything to them.
