Chapter 616: Not Interested in Teaching Losers
Jiang Ruan was taken aback.
It seemed he hadn't expected her to think that way.
"It seems you've grown a lot now." Jiang An had seen it all.
"Mom..." Jiang Ruan felt a surge of emotions.
Jiang An rubbed her head and said, "You have a long road ahead of you. You can go further and wider, gradually establish yourself in Haicheng, and do better each time."
"I will," Jiang Ruan nodded.
A gentle light flashed in Jiang An's eyes.
Thinking about Qin Muchuan being beaten up, Jiang Ruan considered it carefully and asked, "Will Qin Muchuan's incident affect Grandpa?"
"It shouldn't be a big deal." Jiang An knew a bit about this matter. "If it were before, your grandfather would definitely be angry, and he might even have clashed with the Li family because of it."
Jiang Ruan: "And now?"
Jiang An thought about the way the old man and Li Zhishen got along: "Now he's practically treating Li Zhishen like a son-in-law."
Although she didn't call him Dad.
She was also not with Li Zhishen.
But in the old man's heart, Li Zhishen was his son-in-law.
The old man would probably just beat his son-in-law, who was thinking of his daughter's best interests, and his good-for-nothing son.
That's exactly what Old Master Qin thought.
His only concern was whether this matter would affect Jiang Ruan's plans. Apart from that, he didn't have much emotion, so much so that when Qin Mo came to him to talk about Qin Muchuan, he remained very calm.
“I know.” His face was as serious as usual. “That kid Li Zhishen told me.”
Qin Mo's eyes darkened slightly.
I noticed his choice of words.
That kid Li Zhishen?
"How is your father?" Old Master Qin asked with concern.
"It's not very good. I estimate it will take another month or two before I can use my hand again." Qin Mo didn't hide anything and told the truth. He knew very well that this news would not be a shock to his grandfather.
A broken arm and a broken finger.
It all depends on raising them.
"What about other places?" Old Master Qin continued to ask. "I heard that Li Zhishen beat him quite badly."
Qin Mo truthfully replied, "Compared to the injury on my hand, the injuries elsewhere are insignificant."
Old Master Qin: "What do you think?"
Qin Mo paused.
I realized that the subtext of that statement wasn't what it seemed on the surface.
"What do you want me to think?" he asked, wanting to see what choice his grandfather would make.
With his gaze fixed on the greenery not far away, Old Master Qin said, "I hope you'll just let it go and take good care of your father in the hospital so that he won't act impulsively in the future."
Qin Mo frowned slightly: "This is not just a feud between Uncle Li and my father."
The two sides are in conflict.
They represent two prominent families.
It's about the Qin family's reputation.
“If you don’t tell us, how will anyone know how your father got hurt?” Old Master Qin advised. “Respect is earned by oneself. If he insists on losing face, then we can only blame him.”
Qin Mo didn't speak, clearly indicating that he had some objections to this.
"We're chatting," Li Zhishen's voice came through, tinged with a hint of arrogance.
Old Master Qin and Qin Mo looked at the same time.
Before Qin Mo could speak, Old Master Qin said first, "Get lost, I have something to talk to Qin Mo about."
Li Zhishen paused in his steps: "Okay."
After saying that, she looked at Qin Mo and said, "I'll be sitting inside waiting for you. Just come and find me when you're done talking."
Seeing this, Qin Mo's brows were full of confusion.
When did Grandpa and Chairman Li become so close?
Didn't we used to dislike each other terribly?
"What are your thoughts on what I just said?" Old Master Qin asked, looking at him.
“I still think I should do something, at least my dad shouldn’t have gotten that beating for nothing.” Qin Mo was very serious about these things. “Either Uncle Li should pay a price for this, or I should get involved in my aunt’s case.”
Old Master Qin: "Do you know why I asked you to calculate it?"
Qin Mo: "I don't know."
"You'll understand once you're married and have a daughter and a son," Old Master Qin said earnestly. "Li Zhishen is just helping An'an vent her anger as her son-in-law. Put yourself in his shoes. If your daughter had been in a vegetative state for over three years because of your son, would you have allowed your son-in-law to beat him?"
"I will do it myself," Qin Mo said.
Old Master Qin moved his cane: "But I can't move, so Li Zhishen did it for me."
Qin Mo fell silent.
If you put yourself in your grandfather's shoes, you can understand all his actions.
I can understand Uncle Li's behavior of hitting his father, I can understand Jiang Ruan's desire to seek justice for her mother, and I can understand Grandpa's desire to make amends to his daughter as a father.
but--
His current role is that of a son.
The son of the man who was beaten.
“I understand you,” he said, “but I also hope you understand me.”
Old Master Qin looked at him.
Qin Mo said seriously, "Dad should indeed pay the price for what happened back then, so I didn't interfere with Jiang Ruan's plan to sue him. But now that Uncle Li has taken such a heavy step, I have no choice but to protect them a little."
Old Master Qin sighed: "Have you thought it through?"
Qin Mo: "Mm."
Old Master Qin didn't say anything more: "Whatever you say."
"I'll go talk to Uncle Li," Qin Mo said. "If he's willing to let me beat him up, I won't get involved in Aunt's matter. If he's not willing, then I'll have no choice but to do it that way."
Old Master Qin waved his hand, signaling him to go.
He knew Qin Mo was a very stubborn person; once he made up his mind, nothing could change it. He acknowledged the fairness of the legal judgment, but he didn't want any harm to be done outside of the law.
There's nothing wrong with it.
that is--
Ruan Ruan might be in some trouble.
Li Zhishen had been waiting in the living room. When he saw Zhou Shen arrive, his expression remained unchanged. Zhou Shen, with the aura of a superior elder, asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
"Two choices: let me beat them up," Qin Mo said, "or I'll get involved in my aunt's case and help them with the lawsuit."
Li Zhishen: "We can't fight."
Qin Mo: "You choose the latter?"
Li Zhishen said casually, "What we choose isn't important; what's important is that we can't fight."
Qin Mo's eyes darkened slightly: "Why?"
“How am I supposed to pursue your aunt if I get injured?” Li Zhishen said shamelessly. “She doesn’t even like me when I’m healthy. If I’m crippled, she’ll throw me out without batting an eye.”
Qin Mo: "?"
Qin Mo still exuded that aloof and unapproachable aura.
But at this moment, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes. Thinking about his relationship with Lin Tan, he said, "Auntie doesn't like you. Your shameless presence here will only cause her discomfort and trouble."
“If there’s any discomfort or trouble, she knows to throw me out.” Li Zhishen wasn’t afraid of losing face at all. “The fact that she didn’t throw me out means I’m still somewhat useful.”
Qin Mo paused.
Suddenly, something seemed to rush into his mind, making him see the light.
Seeing his expression, Li Zhishen knew he wasn't thinking about Qin Muchuan being beaten, so he naturally changed the subject: "I heard from your grandfather that you were pursuing someone? But you didn't succeed?"
Qin Mo: "..."
Grandpa had a really good relationship with the son of this rival family.
"I'll teach you how to woo her, and I'll let bygones be bygones about your dad getting beaten up by me." Li Zhishen was really being cheeky. "How about it?"
Qin Mo said in an icy tone, "I have no interest in teaching losers."
Li Zhishen: "??"
