Lin Xiaoxiao's sudden words made everyone look up and stare at her in shock.

How dare Lin Xiaoxiao defy and contradict the old man in front of him?

As it turns out, Lin Xiaoxiao has always been very brave and fearless.

Seeing the old man clutching his chest and pointing at her, saying "you, you, you," looking like he was about to scold her, she took the initiative and struck first.

"Qin Huaiyi also thinks I'm right, right? I see you're smiling."

Qin Huaiyi, who was mocking Lin Xiaoxiao for being ungrateful, was speechless.

The gloating smile on her face was so obvious that anyone who didn't know better would think she strongly agreed with Lin Xiaoxiao's words.

"What do you know, you little brat? You have no manners." Old Master Qin gave Qin Huaiyi and Lin Xiaoxiao a disgusted look.

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Xiaoxiao is carrying his great-grandson, he would have taught her a lesson today. As a daughter-in-law of the Qin family, she should learn to be respectful.

Such disobedient and unrestrained behavior towards elders is absolutely unacceptable.

Not content with provoking the old man, Qin Huaiyi added fuel to the fire, saying, "In my opinion, my sister-in-law is definitely carrying a girl. They say a beautiful girl is a good mother, and with your radiant complexion, you must be a considerate girl."

Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled and said, "What's wrong, girl? My own children, whether they're boys or girls, are precious to me, and I won't allow anyone to mistreat them."

“Grandpa loves great-grandsons. If you don’t give birth to a son, you’re being unfilial.” As she spoke, Qin Huaiyi asked Grandpa Qin, “You agree, Grandpa.”

Grandpa Qin nodded hurriedly, "Yes, it must be a boy."

The two of them, singing in unison, really disgusted Lin Xiaoxiao.

Unable to hold back, she cursed Qin Huaiyi, "Aren't you a woman? You were being looked down upon just now, and now you're rushing to lick someone's stinky feet. You're really shameless."

Qin Huaiyi's expression changed drastically, and her face contorted.

"How dare you speak like that?" Yao Huixian stood up, looking at Lin Xiaoxiao with displeasure. "Who are you calling a slut?"

Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow. "Whoever admits it, that's who we'll talk about."

Yao Huixian pointed at her, about to unleash a torrent of curses, when Qin Jinye pulled her back.

Qin Jinye's expression darkened slightly. "Can't you even tell right from wrong?"

"Didn't you hear her cursing Huaiyi?" Yao Huixian persisted, even feeling that Qin Jinye didn't respect her at all. "You're so biased."

eccentric?

Qin Yushen's lips curled into a sarcastic smile.

"Stop fooling around." Qin Jinye frowned, his eyes leaving no room for argument. Yao Huixian saw that he was serious and dared not say another word, feeling frustrated inside.

Then, Qin Jinye looked at Old Master Qin and said seriously, "Yu Shen's wife is right. Regardless of gender, they are all children of the Qin family, regardless of social status. If you dislike them, then they won't come to see you anymore. I will have Huai Jun come to keep you company more often."

Lin Xiaoxiao is not a good-natured person. If the old man continues to say this, she might do something.

Qin Jinye was so worried about this big family.

Unfortunately, Yao Huixian and Qin Huaiyi were both wicked and always scheming.

That's really stupid.

“Grandpa, if my older brother doesn’t want to come see you, I can come often.” Qin Huaijun, who had been keeping a low profile, immediately chimed in after Qin Jinye finished speaking.

His expression was obedient, and his eyes were full of concern as he looked at Old Master Qin.

He looked every bit the dutiful grandson.

Looking at his grandson, the old man felt gratified. He took his hand and said with emotion, "My second grandson is the most filial."

Qin Huaijun suppressed the urge to pull his hand back, his body stiffened, and he forced a smile, "I'm a junior, it's only right that I treat Grandpa well."

In reality, I was extremely disgusted with it.

As the old man got older, he became lazy. After his health deteriorated, he became very afraid of dying and took fewer baths, for fear of catching a cold and passing away.

As a result, he smelled like an old man, which wasn't very pleasant. Unfortunately, Qin Huaijun was the closest to him and had a very sensitive nose, so he had to hold his breath when he spoke.

He lowered his head slightly, a flash of disdain in his eyes.

Apart from Lin Xiaoxiao and Qin Yushen, no one else noticed such a subtle change in expression.

Lin Xiaoxiao sighed, "Qin Huaijun is still as pretentious as ever."

"You all go out first, I want to have a chat with Yu Shen." After remarking on his second grandson's filial piety, Old Master Qin nudged Qin Huaijun, signaling them to leave.

Qin Huaijun was taken aback. "Grandpa?"

Yao Huixian was also anxious. "Dad, we can just go out. You talk to Yu Shen. What can't Huai Jun listen to? They're all his grandsons."

Qin Huaiyi glanced at Qin Yushen warily and said, "Grandpa, you're not thinking of secretly giving my older brother something, are you?"

It's not that she's suspicious; the main reason is that the old man had already hinted at dividing the family property, otherwise Qin Huaijun wouldn't have been returning to the old house so frequently.

Right now, Qin Huaiyi's mind is filled with nothing but the word "family property".

She would stop at nothing to eliminate any factor that threatened her and her brother's claim to the family fortune.

Including the baby of unknown gender in Lin Xiaoxiao's belly.

Old Master Qin's eyebrows furrowed tightly, revealing a deep displeasure. "My things are mine to give to whomever I want. Do you need to tell me what to do?"

"Get out, everyone."

Qin Huaiyi stomped her foot, snorted, and ran out.

Qin Huaijun hesitated for a while before standing up. He glanced at Yao Huixian, and after receiving her signal, he bent down to pull the blanket up for the old man. "Grandpa, I'll go out first. Call me if you need anything."

"Go ahead." Old Master Qin's attitude towards his grandson was much kinder than ever.

Yao Huixian followed behind Qin Huaijun. When she passed Lin Xiaoxiao, she saw that Lin Xiaoxiao was not moving and reached out to pull her. "Didn't you hear me telling you to go out?"

Qin Yushen flicked his wrist, blocking her hand, his eyes turning cold. "You'd better not touch my wife."

Stung by his gaze, Yao Huixian's face stiffened for a moment. She withdrew her hand and snorted, "You're so precious just because you're pregnant. What will you be like after you give birth?"

"That has nothing to do with you, stepmother." Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at her. "Life is short, it's none of your business, understand?"

Feeling humiliated by what she'd been told, Yao Huixian walked out with a grim expression.

Qin Jinye didn't move. He didn't need to go out. He could listen to whatever the old man said.

Ultimately, no matter how successful his grandsons are, Qin Jinye is still the most successful.

Old Master Qin fears no one but his son's cold shoulder.

All of his other children have been abroad for decades, but Qin Jinye, though his illegitimate son, is the most successful of them all.

Besides, after he dies, he will have to rely on Qin Jinye to take care of him in his final days.

This son is someone you absolutely must not offend.

"Men should talk business. What are you doing standing here, a woman?" Old Master Qin waved his hand in displeasure when he saw that Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't left. "Get out, get out."
