Chapter 477 Taking Advantage of an Excuse
"Who made things difficult for her!" Qin Fei retorted defiantly. She didn't think she had made things difficult for Qiao Xing; she had only spoken a few truthful words, yet the old man thought she had.
This favoritism is outrageous; the more I think about it, the angrier I get.
The old man stared at Qin Fei with a stern face and said, "I'm still alive and I'm still in charge of this family. Your father hasn't said anything, so who gives you the right to point fingers?"
"I..." Qin Fei looked around. So many eyes were staring at her. She felt utterly humiliated, and her face turned bright red.
"Qin Liang, this daughter needs to be disciplined. She keeps calling herself a country bumpkin. What's wrong with being a country bumpkin? Are country bumpkins not human? Who taught you this kind of thinking?"
Your current status was given to you by the Qin family. You'll have trouble surviving on your own outside the Qin family. What right do you have to look down on country folk?
The old man's words were quite blunt, and Qin Fei still didn't dare to talk back in front of so many people. She lowered her head, feeling both ashamed and angry, with tears welling up in her eyes.
Qin Liang wanted to smooth things over, but with so many people around, he didn't know what to say.
All I could do was advise, "Dad, Feifei is young, don't take it to heart. It's your birthday today, so don't get angry over such trivial matters."
"Being young is no excuse. Even the youngest child knows how to respect others. Don't you, as her father, bear any responsibility for what she did? How dare you say nice things to her!"
Qin Liang felt a surge of anger, but he managed to control himself well, maintaining a respectful demeanor. "Father is right."
The old man had been holding a grudge against Qin Fei for a long time, but today he deliberately said it in front of so many people. He wasn't just insulting Qin Fei, but also slapping his own face. He was insulting him as well.
The old man wasn't finished yet. He said to Qin Ce, "Since others dislike you, don't stay here and be disliked by them. Leave tomorrow, and I'll go with you."
"Dad, what are you doing?" Qin Liang was really starting to lose his composure.
The old man glared at him. "What? What are you doing? This old man doesn't want to live here. Are you going to lock me up?"
"What are you saying? I'm just worried about your health. You're having trouble even walking now. If you're angry, you can yell at me or hit me, right? Don't torture yourself."
The old man said angrily, "If you're really worried about my health, then don't stop me."
Qin Liang felt a lump in his throat, unable to expel it, yet afraid to do so.
At this moment, Third Master said, "Little Liang, Big Brother is already this old. Let him go wherever he wants. If he's unhappy, no matter how good the medicine you give him or how good the doctor you hire, his health won't improve."
Qin Liang's expression was not good, and he forced a smile. "Third Uncle is right. I was just worried and confused. Since Dad wants to go out for a walk, then let him go."
Having achieved his goal, the old man stopped making things difficult for him. "Alright, it's about time. Let's go eat."
As everyone gradually dispersed, Qiao Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, never expecting things to develop to this point.
But this is a good thing, because the three of them can leave together tomorrow.
Qin Ce gave her a wink, and Qiao Xing understood, immediately walking towards him.
Most of the people watching the play inside had left, leaving Qin Fei, Wang Yu, and Qin Liang behind.
When no one was around, Qin Liang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He gave Wang Yu a meaningful look, snorted coldly, and left.
Wang Yu is now both angry and scared. Qin Fei has ruined what should have been a nice family dinner.
Qin Fei's words were indeed a bit excessive, but not serious enough to warrant public humiliation. Under normal circumstances, with so many outsiders present, she would at most receive a warning or be spoken to privately.
The old man seized the opportunity to make a big fuss, wanting everyone to know about his family's dirty laundry. It's clear how much he disliked them and would make a big deal out of any chance he got.
Now, by seizing on Qin Fei's mistake, Qin Ce and the others can leave smoothly, and he himself can also leave.
Now, all of Qin Liang's previous efforts have been in vain, and all her hard work has been for nothing. It's easy to imagine what she will have to face afterward.
But she can't just give up now; she still has to smile and greet the guests.
Her relatives looked at her differently now. They knew her status in the family, and their eyes were filled with contempt and ridicule.
The Wang family is also in business and would be considered successful among ordinary people, but in such a large family, they seem out of place.
Over the years, thanks to the Qin family's connections, their business has grown quite large and is now a listed company, but in the eyes of this group of people, they are still not qualified enough.
If anyone has a son to blame, it's his two children for being so useless. If Qin Ji had been even half as good as Qin Ce, Qin Ce wouldn't be speaking here now.
Qin Fei was scolded and went to her room to sulk without eating.
She was so angry that she smashed everything in the house, making a lot of noise that the people downstairs could hear.
Qin Liang kept trying to distract himself while holding his wine glass, but he was seething with anger inside.
Shi Yi made an excuse to go upstairs to deliver food to Qin Fei. She knocked on Qin Fei's door, but Qin Fei didn't care who was outside and told her to get out.
Shi Yi said, "Feifei, open the door, I've brought you some food."
Hearing Shi Yi's voice, Qin Fei didn't open the bottle either, "I'm not eating!"
She and Shi Yi weren't very close. Shi Yi didn't like to hang out with her before, and because of the age difference, Qin Fei didn't interact with her much either.
However, what just happened changed Shi Yi's attitude towards Qin Fei, and now she wants to be friends with Qin Fei.
“You can’t not eat. You’re still growing. If you don’t let me in, Uncle Qin will come up and bring you food himself in a little while.”
Qin Fei was stunned when she heard this.
I just embarrassed my dad, and if he comes up here, he'll be there to settle the score with me.
Thinking of this, she immediately came over and opened the door.
Shi Yi smiled, carried the tray inside, and seeing the mess on the floor, she put down the tray and began to pick up the things on the ground.
Qin Fei looked at her suspiciously, "What are you doing?"
Shi Yi said, "Uncle Qin is in a bad mood right now. If he comes in and sees you throwing things, won't he be even angrier?"
Qin Fei's heart skipped a beat, but she forced a snort and said, "I'm still angry."
"Feifei, I know you're angry, but if you go against Uncle Qin now, it will only make him angrier. What will you do if he kicks you out in a fit of anger?"
Qin Fei panicked, "He wouldn't dare!"
But thinking about it, it didn't seem impossible, and her confidence waned a bit. "He would never kick me out."
"That's hard to say. Some things can't be solved by getting angry." Shi Yi walked to her side and smiled. "If you want Uncle Qin to like you more and more, you can't just make him angry."
