Chapter 499 Knowing Too Well the Consequences of Failure
"Say it again, where are you going?" Qin Muchi's sinister voice suddenly rang out.
Qin Jiangye ignored him completely.
He helped Mu Yuke walk outside.
"If you dare to step out of here today, I'll beat you every time she gets along well," Qin Muchi threatened, not wanting to cause any more family discord at this crucial moment.
If the old man finds out, he definitely won't leave him any inheritance!
Qin Jiangye loosened his grip on his mother's hand, turned around and looked at him: "What did you say?"
“You can’t stay with her 24/7.” Qin Muchi said fiercely, “Your grandfather wouldn’t allow her to live separately from me either.”
Qin Jiangye: "Really?"
Qin Muchi scoffed coldly: "Isn't that right?"
Qin Jiangye glanced at the door, then seemed to return to his usual self: "Secretary Qin, take my mother to the hospital."
Secretary Qin glanced at him: "You..."
Qin Jiangye: "What, you think I can't beat him?"
"Hold on a little longer." Secretary Qin spoke in a measured tone, but his face held the air of an elite man. "I'll come back to pick you up after I drop off Madam."
Qin Jiangye: "Go quickly."
Mu Yuke roughly knew what he was going to do and wanted to stop him so that he wouldn't get hurt because of her, but Secretary Qin was too forceful and got her into the car in less than a minute.
"Please take Jiang Ye away with you too." Mu Yuke's brows furrowed with worry. "Qin Muchi doesn't know his own strength; what if he gets hurt..."
"Don't worry, the boss doesn't hold back either," Secretary Qin said seriously.
After saying that, he drove away.
Only after watching the taillights disappear from sight did Qin Jiangye's tense heart ease slightly.
"I think you've gone too far!" Qin Muchi's face turned ashen; he hadn't expected that Mu Yuke would actually dare to send him to the hospital.
“If you are the pillar of our family,” Qin Jiangye said slowly, taking off his cumbersome coat and rolling up his long sleeves twice. “Then I’ll rebel today.”
He had witnessed his father commit violence countless times throughout his life.
When he was little, he didn't understand anything; all he knew was to cry.
When he grew up, he would shield his mother and call the police for her, but simple superficial injuries could not be defined as minor injuries under the law, and each time the police would only give him a verbal reprimand.
Grandpa doesn't love Mom, and he even told Dad that he could hit her if she didn't listen to him.
This made him realize that compared to the injuries on his mother's body, the verbal reprimand and warning given to his father by the police was far too lenient.
Since the law cannot fully protect her.
Then let him do it.
"What do you want to do?" Qin Muchi looked at him and casually picked up the ashtray on the table. "If you dare to be disobedient, I'll show you the consequences of rebellion!"
“I told you, if you dare hit her again, I’ll make you pay tenfold.” Qin Jiangye picked up the whip that was lying to the side. “You hit her once, I’ll hit you back once.”
"Smack!"
The words fell.
Qin Jiangye swung the whip down hard!
He doesn't care about fame or what others say about him.
As long as he can protect his mother, he'll go crazy even if his grandfather criticizes him, let alone his father.
It was past 10 p.m. that night.
Just as Jiang Ruan was about to go to sleep, she received a call on her phone from a location in Haicheng: "Hello, who is this?"
"Are you Ms. Jiang?" The tone of the voice on the other end was very similar to Mo Mo's, but without any emotional fluctuation. "I am Qin Jiangye's secretary."
"Yes, what's up?" Jiang Ruan asked.
"I apologize for bothering you, but the boss has encountered a problem and needs Mr. Qin to call or come in person," Secretary Qin said. "I just called him but no one answered. Is Mr. Qin asleep?"
Jiang Ruan: "Yes."
Considering that Grandpa's heart is not very good, in order to prevent him from being woken up by phone notifications after falling asleep, the housekeeper Grandpa would silence his phone every day during his afternoon nap and at night.
"Okay, I'll contact you again tomorrow morning." Secretary Qin glanced at Qin Jiangye on the hospital bed. "Sorry to bother you so late at night."
He hung up the phone after saying that.
Jiang Ruan was still a little confused.
What matters require Grandpa's attention?
The answer to this question was found the following morning.
Just as Jiang Ruan finished telling Grandpa Qin about this, Secretary Qin called again.
Only then did Jiang Ruan learn that Qin Jiangye and his son Qin Muchi had fought and ended up in the hospital. Qin Muchi felt he had lost face and wanted to beat Qin Jiangye up as well.
Fortunately, Secretary Qin intervened in time, preventing the incident from happening again at the hospital.
"Mr. Qin Muchi is not in a very stable emotional state right now. We might need you to give him a call," Secretary Qin said.
"I'll be there in a bit." Old Master Qin's face darkened. "Tell him that if he doesn't behave himself, he's getting out of the Qin family."
Secretary Qin: "Okay."
Seeing that the call had ended, Jiang Ruan asked, "Why did Qin Jiangye and my second uncle get into a fight?"
Qin Jiangye was not usually a combative person.
"It's probably because your second uncle hit your aunt and Jiang Ye saw it." Old Master Qin's face was ashen. He hadn't expected that this unfilial son would still dare to act recklessly after being disciplined last time.
Jiang Ruan frowned slightly.
Domestic violence?
No wonder Qin Jiangye looked so nervous when he left last night.
Half an hour later, she went to the hospital with Grandpa Qin.
These past few days I've been on a team building trip for medical and health professionals. I've finished all my other work and have some free time anyway. I just happened to have some time to talk to her about Qin Jiangye last night.
We arrived at the hospital.
The three adjacent VIP wards were all occupied.
In order, they are Mu Yuke, Qin Jiangye, and Qin Muchi.
When they arrived, there were two people standing in Mu Yuke's ward. One of them, an old man, had his back to them and was berating Mu Yuke, who was lying on the bed: "Look at you! Why are you making Mu Chi angry at such a grown man? You even have the nerve to cause trouble in the hospital, don't you want to be embarrassed enough!"
Jiang Ruan: "?"
Tang Bai and Mo Mo: "?"
"Cough cough!" Old Master Qin coughed heavily twice.
The two men looked over upon hearing the voice, and their expressions immediately turned to joy when they saw that it was Old Master Qin. They hurriedly came over to greet him, saying, "In-law, you've come too."
"I'm sorry, my daughter has caused you trouble."
"Don't worry, we've already talked about her."
Each of them said one sentence.
They practically had the word "flattery" written all over their faces.
At this moment, Jiang Ruan realized that her second uncle, whom her maternal grandfather and mother considered useless, was actually a highly sought-after person in the eyes of others. It wasn't because he was particularly talented or responsible, but because he was a member of the Qin family, one of the four major families in Haicheng.
However, this inevitably caused hardship for my aunt.
A gentle, kind, humble, and polite woman.
Old Master Qin didn't even glance at them, but walked past them directly to Mu Yuke to inquire about her situation and promised to give her an explanation.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of this for you." Old Master Qin's face was very bad. "Just tell me how you want to teach him a lesson."
Mu Yuke glanced at her parents subconsciously.
Finally suppressing her emotions, she said resignedly, "Thank you for your kindness, Dad. I'm fine, I'll be alright after a couple of days of rest."
She wanted a divorce, but no one else wanted one either.
Her parents felt that divorce was a slap in their face, and Qin Muchi would feel that divorce meant she looked down on him and wanted to run off with someone else. As for the Qin family…
She can't gamble.
She was just an outsider; no matter how awful Qin Muchi was, he was still a member of the Qin family.
It goes without saying what she will face if she fails.
She'd already paid the price once, so she knew all too well the consequences of failure.
