Chapter 292 Still falling for this kind of trick?
The old man frowned in displeasure. He glanced at Shi Yi, then at Qin Yi.
After a while, he said, "Alright, you can go back now. Tell Xiao Ce that I've eaten."
"Grandpa, you..."
The old man said irritably, "What are you talking about? Get out of here, don't get in my way!"
"Are you still angry?" Qin Yi looked at him worriedly. The old man was getting on in years, and he was afraid that he might get sick from anger. If something happened to him, he would be held responsible for the whole situation.
The old man was so angry at him that he laughed. "Why do you talk so much? Skipping a meal won't kill you. Alright, let's talk about it when you get back. Don't bother this old man so late at night!"
As the old man spoke, he said to Shi Yi, "Xiao Yi, come in. It's so cold outside."
Shi Yi nodded, stepped inside, and then winked at Qin Yi, indicating that she was leaving things to him and that he could rest assured.
Qin Yi looked at Shi Yi, hesitated for a moment, and wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, the old man closed the door.
Qin Yi stood at the door, somewhat dumbfounded.
Just then, Aunt and Wang Ye returned. The two were talking, with Aunt constantly complaining about Wang Ye, while Wang Ye hung his head and remained silent.
Qin Yi turned his head and glanced at her. His aunt also saw Qin Yi, and her eyes lit up instantly.
However, thinking of Qiao Xing's attitude and Qin Ce's attitude yesterday, the smile on her face disappeared.
She completely ignored Qin Yi and took Wang Ye home.
Qin Yi noticed her change in attitude and was somewhat puzzled.
He glanced at the old man's tightly closed door again and called out into the house, "Grandpa, are you really not going?"
The old man ignored him. Qin Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, turned around and went downstairs to report back to Qin Ce.
Inside the house, the old man and Shi Yi sat in front of the stove. Shi Yi was still trying to persuade the old man, "Grandpa Qin, why don't you go? If you don't go, they won't be able to have a proper meal."
The old man sat on the sofa with his sleeves rolled up, sighed, and said, "What are you going to do? It's not like you haven't eaten before. Besides, do you think Grandpa would leave you here?"
“You came to visit Grandpa, and I went to eat with them. What kind of behavior is it to leave you here?”
Shi Yi smiled and said, "I'm fine."
Despite the old man's apparent sympathy for her, he never said he would take Shi Yi with him.
He would rather stay than go; he knows how to conduct himself properly, leaving no room for criticism.
The old man was indeed very grateful to her, and as he got older, he wanted someone to talk to. Shi Yi had been doing a very good job these days, but he wasn't so senile as to take Shi Yi with him.
Qin Yi had asked him to go out to eat behind Shi Yi's back, clearly indicating that he didn't want to bring Shi Yi along. The old man wasn't stupid; although he had a good relationship with the Shi family, he wasn't that close to Shi Yi.
Therefore, Shi Yi must have something to do with staying here. As for what it is, the old man didn't want to guess. In his heart, Shi Yi was a good girl, and he hoped that she could find a good home.
The old man said, "It's alright, I'm too lazy to make a fuss, we'll just eat by ourselves."
Shi Yi nodded, "Then I'll order takeout."
Shi Yi doesn't know how to cook. She orders takeout every day, but she doesn't order ordinary takeout. She orders someone to come to her house to cook.
After ordering the home service, she went inside and called Chen Yu, asking him to withdraw from the lawsuit.
But Chen Yu rejected it.
"Ms. Shi, I will not withdraw from this lawsuit."
Based on the evidence he has gathered so far, He Fen has no chance of losing the case. This is his opportunity to save face, and he will not give up so easily.
If he loses this case, he'll never be able to work in the legal profession again!
Hearing this, Shi Yi felt a little annoyed. "This is such a small case. Even if you win, the money you earn won't be enough to buy your plane ticket. What are you trying to achieve?"
"Miss Shi, you don't understand. In short, I will not give up on this case."
Shi Yi was furious at his words. What Qin Yi had just relayed was Qin Ce's warning to her that if the lawsuit really went to court, she would have no way to defend herself.
She wanted to try to persuade Chen Yu, but he had already hung up the phone.
Shi Yi stomped her foot in anger, thinking, "I should have known better than to meddle in other people's business!"
Qin Yi went back and told Qin Ce everything that had just happened.
Then he said something nice for Shi Yi, "Don't have such a bad opinion about her."
Qin Ce glanced at him and replied with two words, "No wonder."
Qin Yi was completely baffled. He stared at Qin Ce in confusion, "What's so strange?"
He saw the mockery in Qin Ce's eyes and always felt that his elder brother couldn't say anything nice.
Qin Ce said, "No wonder you've ended up like this in the Qin family."
Qin Yi choked for a moment, then his expression turned rather unpleasant.
"I learned my lesson the hard way when I was young, and now I'm falling for this kind of trick again. I think I should reconsider whether I should help you."
Qin Yi looked pale. Qin Ce's words reminded him of his stepmother, a woman with a wolf in sheep's clothing. If you ignored the resentment between him and his father, that woman seemed to be incredibly good to him on the surface.
After a long silence, Qin Yi finally looked up at Qin Ce and asked, "I admit you have a point, but what is her purpose?"
Qin Ce stared at him expressionlessly, offering no explanation.
He's not that narcissistic.
Moreover, apart from being in his presence, no one else thought Shi Yi had feelings for him. If she said this out loud, she would inevitably be ridiculed for being narcissistic.
After a while, Qin Ce said, "Since you're willing to believe her, then believe her."
Qin Yi twitched his lips. This person had a knack for making people angry with his words, always leaving half of what he said for them to guess.
Just then, Qiao Xing brought out the last dish and called to the two of them, "Dinner's ready, stop chatting."
She put down the dishes, looked back, and suddenly sensed that the atmosphere between the two brothers was somewhat subtle.
Could it be that Qin Ce gave a speech?
It does look somewhat similar.
Qin Yi didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he got up and went to the dining table to eat. He preferred playing games with Qiao Xing to chatting with Qin Ce.
After dinner, Qin Ce went into the study to get a coat. Ignoring Qin Yi, he said to Qiao Xing, "I'll go get your passport."
After saying that, he went out.
After he left, Qiao Xing finally found a chance to ask Qin Yi, "What were you two talking about just now?"
Qin Yi didn't want to talk about these things; he wasn't the type to gossip behind people's backs. So he shook his head and said, "It's nothing, sister-in-law. Do you want to play games? I'll help you rank up."
Qiao Xing paused for a moment, then thought of the little rabbit. "Maybe we shouldn't. I'm afraid your girlfriend will get jealous if she sees it."
Hearing about the little rabbit, Qin Yi was reminded of what happened last night, and he looked a little uncomfortable. "How could that be? I already told her you're my sister-in-law."
Qiao Xing stroked his chin and looked Qin Yi up and down.
Qin Yi is so handsome, and he even looks a bit like Qin Ce, so his looks are naturally amazing. Plus, he's so skilled, so he's bound to have no shortage of female fans in the game.
She asked curiously, "How did you meet that little rabbit? Tell me about your love-hate relationship."
