Chapter 54: He is an unpredictable variable, he is...
Qin Yongyi almost forgot what kind of person Qin Yonglian was.
He is an unpredictable variable, he is a silent and crazy beast.
In the past, Qin Ansen never took the initiative to ask about this child who suddenly appeared, and Li Yue had told the two siblings not to treat the little devil well since they were young.
With their mother's support, Qin Yongyi often teamed up with Qin Aiyue to mock Qin Yonglian. Seeing that even their own brother neglected Guizai, the other children naturally bullied Qin Yonglian behind his back.
However, reality did not play out the common movie-like plot of the prince in distress.
Qin Yonglian is not a child who will not give in to others' trouble. He will never suffer any loss in vain. He will resist and always fight silently. Those young boys don't even know how they were dealt with.
That’s right, they all have the Qin family’s blood flowing in their bodies.
The Tan family's ancestors were skilled riders and archers. Five hundred years ago, they followed the army into the Great Wall, overcoming all obstacles along the way and remaining invincible, relying on their courage. Later, Pengju migrated south and founded a business empire, relying on his tenacity.
Grandpa had banished the Blue-Eyed Ghost Boy to South Cowes Island early on, so out of sight, out of mind.
Qin Yongyi had been to the groundbreaking ceremony of the Aihe Hotel on the island and met Qin Yonglian, whom he had not seen for a long time, and his apartment which was decorated as a primitive rainforest.
Qin Yongyi suddenly felt that this was a good idea. He was driven from the Qin family to an isolated island, as if he had never returned to the Qin family.
It would be even better if he disappeared from middle school. That way, the old man of the Qin family would no longer use Guizi's cleverness as an excuse. He wanted to deprive Qin Yonglian of the only advantage that made his grandfather appreciate him.
Later, Qin Yonglian really dropped out of school and became the only one among the rich young masters with only a high school diploma, living the life of a modern Robinson Crusoe.
Then, how did it evolve into this situation?
The more Qin Yongyi thought about it, the more confused he became. He stared at Qin Yuan fiercely. The two of them sat at the table, and the air was filled with crackling sparks.
Qin Yuan is, after all, a fierce warrior trained by Deng Yuqian, and his honed on-the-spot experience is more than enough for him to face Qin Yongyi.
At times like this, the best response is to remain clueless.
The fuse in the conference room's wall-sized aquarium tripped for no apparent reason, triggering a malfunction in the yacht's main electrical panel. As if that weren't enough, a steam leak developed in the engine's freshwater cooling system.
The maintenance team on the shore heard the news and came by boat. They worked for most of the night, and the yacht returned to the dock early the next morning.
This was in line with what Qin Yongyi said, "The boat can just go back tomorrow." The man was so angry that he gritted his teeth, knowing full well that it was all Qin Yonglian's fault.

In the ward, the electrocardiograph regularly emits a beeping frequency.
Qiao Yixin dipped a cotton swab in water and carefully wiped Qin Ansen's dry lips.
"I'm not used to you not talking." The man on the hospital bed said softly.
"Someone used to complain that I was chirping like a bird." Qiao Yixin's voice was choked with sobs.
"I feel much better now."
Qin Ansen's eyes, which had been gray due to the surgery, have now regained some of their vitality.
"I don't care about you. I'm worried about my son. Yongzheng is only 3 years old."
"Yixin, I promised you that I would attend my son's college graduation ceremony and not leave you alone. This is just a small test given to me by God."
Qiao Yixin looked at her husband who was still recovering from a serious illness and recalled her first meeting with Qin Ansen.
When he went to the seaside for recuperation, he met himself who was also wandering on the beach.
They each got what they wanted, and the tabloid gossip was half right.
They all have someone in their hearts that they can't let go of. They are lonely because they have lost their loved ones, so they come together to keep each other warm.
"Mrs. Qin and Miss Li are waiting next door. Do you want me to invite you two ladies in?"
"Yi Xin." Tan Ansen's tone was sad, with a rare expression of weakness on his face.
Qiao Yixin raised an eyebrow and said, "Forget it. Don't accuse me of taking advantage of the opportunity to bully the patient. Rest for another hour, and then I'll tell them you're awake."
Tan Ansen breathed a sigh of relief, then changed his mind and asked, "Where's the little cotton-padded jacket?"
"I sent it to grandma. I was worried that the old lady would be worried about you. I didn't want to have another patient in the house to keep you company."
"It's enough to have you here with me." Qin Ansen said.
Qiao Yixin knew very well that the Qin family was in the center of trouble now.
"I heard Leon left yesterday afternoon. He only left me a message this morning, telling me not to leave your side. Anson, is something going to happen?"
"Yi Xin, the world is unfair. Whoever is stronger will own it. Whoever is strong enough can change the world. We can only wait and see."
Avoiding the serious topic, Qiao Yixin thought of Bai Ying, "Do you know who I met in Karuizawa?"
"Hearing your tone of certainty, I certainly wouldn't have guessed."
"Then I'll give you a hint: the iron tree blooms."
Tan Ansen really couldn't imagine it.
"You are the father of iron tree. Do you have any inspiration?" Qiao Yixin had a teasing smile on his face.
"Bai Ying?"
"Ah? How do you know?" Qiao Yixin squatted beside the bed, following Qin Ansen's gaze curiously.
"You already said I'm the father of the Iron Tree. How could a father not know what his son is thinking?"
"But Leon told me that only Joyce and I knew about it." Qiao Yixin suddenly realized, "So you were secretly investigating Tieshuzi?"
No secret can escape Qin Ansen's eyes.
The man cleared his throat. "That's called caring."
The unexpected event that happened at the year-end party before the New Year, and Qin Yonglian's unusual performance in the financial interview, with the screen full of pink bubbles, how could Qin Ansen, who has been through it, not understand the reasons?
In terms of love, he is indeed not a good role model. He owes too many debts of love.
Everyone envies him for his popularity with women, but who knows that he can't even keep the woman he loves most by his side and protect her.
He was helpless, and there were thousands of families closely connected with the Tan family. He could not escape, nor could he fall.
He was also worried that Qin Yonglian would repeat the same mistakes. This was the son who was most like him and the most persistent.
Tan Ansen hopes that love can become Tan Yonglian's wings, rather than a sword to destroy him.
Seeing the man's troubled expression, Qiao Yixin knew all about his inner thoughts and consoled him, "Don't be so anxious to look back on your life and lament your life now. Netizens won't see your hardship and will only call you a hypocrite."
Qin Ansen raised his finger and gently stroked the back of Qiao Yixin's hand, expressing his approval in his own way.
"Have you met the little girl in person? She's so cute and well-behaved. She's the kind of child who glows like a star, impossible to lose in a crowd. Joyce likes her very much, too."
Qiao Yixin teased, "Father and son have surprisingly similar tastes in finding a girlfriend."
Qin Ansen curled his eyes, curled his lips and smiled, and a feeling of relief gradually rose in his heart.
When faced with the dilemma of being helpless and true love, Qin Yonglian could say to hell with his son being helpless.
This cheerfulness and courage are inherited from Anna, and are much stronger than his.

The two were talking in low voices when they heard a faint noise outside the door. Deng Yuqian and Li Yue quickly walked in.
Even when they came to the hospital, the two ladies maintained exquisite makeup and fashion sense.
"What's going on with the video?" Deng Yuqian asked before reaching the bedside, her tone unable to conceal her shock and aggression.
"As you can see and hear, I have made it very clear in the video." Qin Ansen regained his dignity and calmness.
"Anson, my uncles and I are here, you don't have to worry." Deng Yuqian glanced at Li Yue.
"That video was filmed in the presence of lawyers and the attending physician. I was not forced by anyone and my thoughts were clear." Tan Ansen said calmly.
Li Yue snorted. "Yongyi was there, how could he have faked it? Since everyone agrees, 72 hours later, at 9 PM tonight, all major Hong Kong television stations, websites, and platforms will simultaneously broadcast the latest announcement from the Tan Corporation."
Before Deng Yuqian could respond, Li Yue said quietly, "Mrs. Qin, you should retire when you're old. Dancing and talking about love are the real pleasures of life."
"Ever since Yongli withdrew, I've given up on this." Deng Yuqian said angrily. "I didn't expect Anson to let a wolf into the house. You set up such a big trap."
"What's the point of mentioning Yongli now? Unless he stands up right now and walks in front of us. Can he do that?"
Li Yue's words successfully touched the pain in Deng Yuqian's heart. The scene of Qin Yongli being rescued from the car covered in blood has been her nightmare for the past few years.
"Now we must cherish the people around us. Yongyi and Aiyue have been outstanding since childhood. When it comes time to shoulder responsibilities, the Second House will never shirk them."
Qiao Yixin held her forehead with her hand, secretly having a headache. The reason she refused to live in the Qin family mansion was that she didn't want to face this situation.
Now it is a new century and a new era. The Qing Dynasty has been gone for many years. She never wanted to film such scenes where wives and concubines confront each other and expose each other's shortcomings.
Boring as hell!!
"Husband, only at this moment do I feel that you are an old man from the past." Qiao Yixin teased Qin Ansen.
The word "husband" suddenly made the two women who were battling shut up.
Deng Yuqian maintained the arrogance between her brows, tilted her head and said nothing.
Li Yue narrowed her eyes as she looked at Qiao Yixin and said, "Legally, Anson is just your boyfriend and the biological father of your child."
"Don't talk about law or biology. Whoever is in Anson's heart is his woman."
"Want to know who Anson has in his heart? Just go and take a look inside him and you'll find out." Qiao Yixin stood up slowly, a small evil seed sprouting in his heart. "Can you get into his heart?"
Women's intuition is always accurate. As expected, Li Yue's face turned red with excitement.
"My husband has closed the door of his heart a long time ago." Qiao Yixin said "huh" nonchalantly.
She turned around and blinked her big eyes, giving Qin Ansen a look that said, "I'm sorry, I can't control myself."
The corners of Qin Ansen's mouth moved, and he finally sighed and said five words: "A harmonious family brings prosperity."
This was what Mr. Qin loved to say in the past, but he never expected that one day he would say it out of his own mouth.
Facing Qiao Yixin's deliberately disruptive look, Qin Ansen understood what it meant to "shoot oneself in the foot. It's not that there will be no retribution, but that the time has not come yet."
"We don't care about love affairs in this house, but we just want to work hard and contribute to the family." Li Yue doesn't care who her man belongs to.
Her goal was clear. "Anson, you gave the group to the boss, and then to Guizai. I just want to return Xizao Telecom to Yongyi."
As early as the early 1980s, the Qin family was optimistic about the telecommunications business and established Xizao Telecom. They participated in the launch of the country's first communications satellite and almost monopolized the entire related industry in the south.
At that time, in order to train successors, the brothers Qin Yongli and Qin Yongyi did their first internship at Xizao Telecom.
Seeing that Qin Ansen's expression had relaxed, Li Yue called Qin Yongyi and Qin Aiyue, the brother and sister who were waiting outside the door, into the room.
Qin Yongyi took the baton handed over by his mother and advised:
"Dad, you understand the current situation. I'm trying to save the entire Qin Group. Morning Star Group will only cooperate with me, and the jury's vote is clear. If you don't let go, you can only watch Xizao Telecom be abandoned by the industry."
Tan Ansen said slowly, "Business is a people-made business. There's no rule that one company can dominate forever. Yongyi, the competent ones take the throne. You've learned this since childhood."
"You don't care about the Qin family, but I do." Qin Yongyi complained.
"Of course we care!"
A loud and mellow male voice broke the deadlock, and a slender figure appeared at the side of the door.
When she saw the visitor clearly, Deng Yuqian exclaimed excitedly. For a moment, everyone in the room had a wonderful expression.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, the man slowly walked to the center of the room and said calmly, "Long time no see."
Qin Yongyi was stunned as if struck by lightning, unable to believe his eyes, and even wanted to ask, "Who are you?"!
Seeing Qin Yongli's expression, which was exactly the same as his father's, he panicked and said, "Big, big, big..."
"Brother? You still recognize me as your brother." Qin Yongli interrupted the other party and smiled faintly.
Qin Yonglian was leaning against the door frame with his arms folded, looking elegant and relaxed.
Holding an apple I had just picked up from the fruit bowl at the reception desk, I took a bite and it made a crisp, clear crunch.
*** ***
Qin Yongyi stood in the room helplessly, passively accepting this fact.
Qin Yongli walked over and paused slightly when he passed by him, staying for a few seconds, but Qin Yongyi felt like he had stopped for a century, his uneasy eyes hiding in the projection under the light.
"Yongyi."
With just a very ordinary call, the hairs on Qin Yongyi's arms immediately stood up, and he looked at Li Yue guiltily.
"Second Madam, long time no see." Qin Yongli followed his gaze and spoke in a light tone with a hint of disdain.
Deng Yuqian flew forward, holding her son in her arms, and looked him over carefully from his head to his legs and feet, unable to believe it.
The doctor has already made his verdict: unless there is a miracle, Qin Yongli will never be able to stand up again in this lifetime.
And now, not only did he stand up, he could also walk up to her.
Deng Yuqian's face was covered with tears. She turned around and asked in a daze, "Anson, look, is he our Yongli?"
Qin Ansen felt sore at the corners of his eyes and his mouth was tight.
He seemed to understand something and winked at his wife.
Qiao Yixin stared closely at the ECG monitor beside the bed, fearing that the man's emotional excitement would affect his physical recovery.
"Impossible, impossible!" Li Yue lost her balance and staggered.
Qin Aiyue hurriedly reached out to support her mother, and both mother and daughter were stunned.
"Impossible? What's impossible?" Qin Yongli asked.
At this moment, some people shed tears, some sighed, some trembled, and some sighed...
Qin Yonglian raised his eyebrows, leaned lazily against the door, ate an apple, and enjoyed the show.
So this is what it feels like to be a bystander, quite boring.
He was still wearing Qin Yongli's clothes. His elder brother was ten centimeters shorter than him, so he turned the loose sportswear into a slim-fitting one.
The man's bangs hung down to cover his full forehead, making him look like a young college student who had just graduated.
Qin Yongli's voice sank. "I just heard someone question whether I was a useless person and whether I could stand up and walk in front of her."
After all, the old ones are the wisest. Li Yue refused to give up. "The elders of the board of directors are waiting downstairs."
This reminded Qin Yongyi, "Yes, yes! The core members of the group and the representative lawyers are here too."
So what if Qin Yongli comes back?
Does he have real power? Are the founding heroes no match for an abdicated prince?
"They're all trying to smooth things over," Qin Yongli said lightly. "At this juncture, there are more pressing matters than a commercial lawsuit."
"Son, what's the matter?" Deng Yuqian asked with concern.
The former prince of the Qin family spoke slowly, "Criminal case, attempted murder."
