Chapter 906 The Final Bottom Line
Qin Liang had mentioned Qin Ce to him several times before, but Qin Yi had always dodged the question and didn't want to discuss Qin Ce with him.
On one hand, he was genuinely annoyed by Qin Ce and Qin Liang's situation. On the other hand, he understood Qin Liang; if he had even the slightest disagreement with Qin Ce, Qin Yi would become the one who suffered the most injustice.
He felt that the current situation between him and Qin Ce was due to his failure to properly educate Qin Ce, which was his fault.
Therefore, when dealing with Qin Yi, whether it was for his own face or because he was afraid that Qin Yi would follow Qin Ce's path and become like father and son, or like family, and be laughed at by others, he always insisted on making Qin Yi follow the path he had arranged.
Little did he know that his actions would only backfire.
The study fell silent.
Once Qin Yi calmed down, he realized he had acted impulsively.
But he had wanted to say these things for a long time, and even if he didn't say them now, he would have to say them sooner or later.
He didn't want to be like a puppet, having his future controlled by Qin Liang.
So Qin Yi didn't intend to apologize. He just said to Qin Liang, "Dad, I'm all grown up now. I have my own life and freedom. Whether it's marriage or work, I have my own ideas. Please respect me, okay?"
Qin Liang glared at him, his eyes filled with disappointment.
Qin Yi didn't care.
In any case, this wasn't the first or second time that Qin Liang had been disappointed in him.
However, it would not benefit Qin Yi to strain the relationship between the two.
He thought for a moment and decided to change the subject. "Besides, my brother is already back, isn't he? If you're really worried about the development of Qin's Group, you can hand the company over to him and discuss it with him. Maybe my brother won't hold a grudge about the past and will be willing to come back and manage Qin's Group."
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Qin Yi's words earned him a rebuke from Qin Liang. "It's none of his business to meddle in the Qin family's affairs!"
Qin Yi shook his head helplessly. "Why are you doing this? Since you can't let go of Qin Ji and are unwilling to hand over the Qin family to outsiders, the only one who can protect the Qin family is my brother. Anyway, you don't have any deep-seated hatred between you. Now that my brother is back, you should treat him better."
Qin Liang slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and pointed at Qin Yi angrily, saying, "In the end, isn't it all because you're useless? If you had paid more attention to the Qin family, would things have come to this?"
"Don't try to shift the blame onto me. I've already told you, I won't join the Qin family. You and my brother had a falling out because of the Qin family, and I don't want to get involved in this kind of trouble."
"You!" Qin Liang was so angry he almost vomited blood.
What angered him most was Qin Yi's hopeless and incompetent nature.
Looking around, in all the prestigious families of the capital, whose children aren't striving to climb the social ladder and secure a place within their vast clans?
Unfortunately, Qin Yi was a rebellious person. He refused to join the company and was even asked to get married, but he still refused.
How could Qin Liang not be angry?
Qin Yi was afraid that Qin Liang's blood pressure would rise and he would have to go to the hospital again, so he quickly tried to please him.
"Dad, I'm telling you the truth. Instead of forcing things on me, why don't you think of a way to ease the tension between my brother and me? It's not easy for my brother to come back, so don't waste this opportunity."
Qin Liang retorted angrily, "Do I need you to teach me how to do things?"
Qin Yi shrugged. "Fine, fine, I don't care. If you really can't bring yourself to do it, you can hand the company over to Qin Ji. After all, he's a member of the Qin family, and he's much more proactive than I am."
"Shut up!" Qin Liang's chest heaved, and it took him a while to suppress his anger.
"If you don't want me to manage you, that's fine too. Go see that girl tomorrow, and after the meeting, have a meal with both families. Whether it works out or not depends on what they think. It's not like you can just say you don't want to."
"But I..."
Qin Yi was interrupted by Qin Liang before he could finish speaking.
“She’s your Uncle Chen’s daughter. She’s been living abroad, but she came back to China just to meet you. The Chen family and the Qin family are old friends. Your Uncle Chen helped the Qin family back then, and I’ve always remembered that kindness. Your Uncle Chen said that he respects his daughter’s opinion in everything. If the two of them meet and one of them is unwilling, he won’t bring it up again!”
Qin Yi thought angrily to himself.
No matter how you look at it, he's at a disadvantage.
While he wouldn't dare claim to be the most handsome man in Beijing, he's certainly not far off.
Almost every girl who had contact with him said she was unwilling.
If the two meet and the girl nods in agreement, then regardless of his willingness, he has to get married.
"Dad, how about..." Qin Yi tried to persuade Qin Liang again, not wanting to meet him.
But Qin Liang gave him no chance whatsoever, saying in an unquestionable tone, "This is the final line! Whether you want to get married or not, you must meet him! Otherwise, I'll kidnap you if I have to!"
Qin Yi's shoulders slumped, and he had no choice but to accept his fate. "I understand..."
Qin Liang was furious when he saw him like this. He said angrily, "Alright, get out."
Qin Yi got up and came out of the study. Wang Yu was standing at the door. He didn't notice and the two almost bumped into each other.
"Aunt Wang," Qin Yi greeted her.
Wang Yu was carrying a fruit platter when she saw Qin Yi come out. She was a little surprised. "You and your dad finished talking? I was thinking of bringing you some fruit in."
Qin Yi said, "Take it in to my dad, I'm not eating."
Wang Yu glanced at his expression and asked gently, "What's wrong? Did your dad scold you?"
Qin Yi irritably ran a hand through his hair, not wanting to say too much to Wang Yu. "No, we just chatted for a bit."
Wang Yu said softly, "Your dad has been in a bad mood these past two days because of Xiao Ji's matter. He has to say something to everyone. He's not targeting you on purpose, so don't take it to heart."
Qin Yi nodded, "Yes, I understand. Aunt Wang, please take the fruit to my dad. I'll go back to my room now."
"Go."
Wang Yu stood at the door, watching Qin Yi's figure disappear. The smile that had been on her lips gradually faded away.
She seemed to be deep in thought, her fingers tightening slightly as she held the fruit plate.
"Come in if you want, what are you doing standing at the door?" Qin Liang's voice came from the study.
Wang Yu quickly composed herself, pushed open the door and went in, saying, "You're here."
Qin Ce and Grandpa Qin hadn't returned yet, and Qiao Xing was bored in her room, so she decided to go downstairs to look for them.
I ran into Qin Fei as soon as I went downstairs.
The two exchanged a glance. Qin Fei gave a disdainful snort, while Qiao Xing simply pretended not to see her and prepared to leave.
To her surprise, her action immediately drew Qin Fei's displeasure.
"Stop right there!"
