Chapter 921 You always use this trick to provoke me
Qin Fei knew Qiao Xing was referring to what happened last night, and she thought Qiao Xing knew something. Her face paled for a moment. "What do you mean?"
Qiao Xing didn't notice Qin Fei's change in mood. "It doesn't mean anything. I was just saying it casually. Whether you listen or not is up to you."
She said this simply to remind her from a girl's perspective.
After all, Qin Fei is a simple-minded person, and if she really encounters someone with ill intentions, she might not be able to tell the difference.
However, Qiao Xing estimated that, given Qin Fei's personality, even if she kindly said these things to her, Qin Fei might not take them seriously.
The same few people were at the dining table downstairs.
Qin Ce wasn't here today, so Qiao Xing wasn't planning on having breakfast.
Fortunately, with Qin Yi and Grandpa Qin around, she didn't feel so awkward anymore.
Wang Yu was as enthusiastic as ever, and when she saw Qiao Xing, she asked her if she slept well last night and if she felt unwell.
Qiao Xing smiled politely as before, nodded and said, "I slept well, I don't feel uncomfortable."
Qin Ji has been away for the past two days, except for the first day when Qiao Xing and the others came and he went home for a meal.
Grandpa Qin couldn't help but ask, "Where did Xiao Ji go? I haven't seen him for the past two days."
Wang Yu gave an awkward smile and replied to Grandpa Qin, "Dad, Xiao Ji made a mistake at the company a couple of days ago because of carelessness. He felt bad about it and wanted to do something to make up for it. He's been helping people at the company run projects these past few days."
Qin Fei was unusually quiet; she didn't argue with Qiao Xing, nor did she throw a tantrum and leave.
He kept glancing at Qiao Xing, lost in thought.
Qiao Xing felt a little unaccustomed to her sudden change of attitude.
Qiao Xing thought that she was probably afraid that she would tell everyone about her being with another man last night.
Qiao Xing ignored Qin Fei's gaze and lowered her head to eat.
She's not that bored.
However, seeing how nervous Qin Fei was, she became a little curious about what exactly happened between her and the man from yesterday.
Qin Yi took a couple of bites and then stood up. "I'm done eating. You guys continue."
Just as he was about to leave, Qin Liang suddenly spoke up, "Wait a minute."
Qin Yi immediately had a bad feeling. "What's wrong?"
"You're coming out with me today."
Where to?
Qin Liang gave him a displeased look, as if blaming him for asking a question he already knew the answer to.
Qin Yi had already guessed it, but he didn't want to go. "Dad, I have something to do today, could I..."
"You have to put everything down for me, don't make me repeat myself."
Qin Yi immediately deflated, "I'll go change my clothes."
Qiao Xing glanced at Qin Yi with a hint of sympathy and gave him a look that said, "Good luck to you."
What's meant to come will come, and what's meant to escape can't escape either.
Qin Yi was dragged out the door by Qin Liang. After Qiao Xing finished breakfast, she thought of calling Qin Ce to ask him how things were going.
I was just about to go back to my room when I saw Qin Fei standing in the corner of the corridor, holding her phone, as if she was making a call.
She was standing with her back to Qiao Xing and didn't see her.
Qin Fei said emotionally into the phone, "I've already said it's impossible! What do you want?!"
After the person on the phone said something, Qin Fei became even more agitated, exclaiming, "You dare!"
"I'll agree to everything else except this!"
Do you know what the consequences of threatening me will be?!
"..."
Just as Qiao Xing was wondering what was wrong with her, Qin Fei had already hung up the phone. She turned around and saw Qiao Xing right there.
A hint of unease flashed across Qin Fei's face. "What are you doing here!"
"Just passing by," Qiao Xing said truthfully.
She didn't sense anything was wrong.
She was talking loudly on the phone, so she can't blame others for hearing her.
Qin Fei warned Qiao Xing fiercely, "No matter what you heard, pretend you didn't hear it, or I'll make you regret it!"
Qiao Xing didn't take her threat seriously at all. "Take care of your own business first before you try to threaten me."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and went straight back to her room.
Qin Fei stood there, furious.
She gripped her phone tightly, and after a moment, an idea suddenly popped into her head.
Qin Fei sneered, wanting to see how long Qiao Xing could stay here.
Qiao Xing returned to her room and dialed Qin Ce's number.
The phone rang for a few seconds before Qin Ce answered it. Before Qiao Xing could ask anything, Qin Ce said, "Let's talk when we get back."
Qiao Xing sensed something was off about his tone, but she didn't ask further and simply said, "Okay."
Qin Yi and Qin Liang were sitting in a car. The car was quiet. Qin Liang was resting with his eyes closed, while Qin Yi looked utterly hopeless.
When Qin Liang opened his eyes and saw Qin Yi's expression, he was immediately furious. "When you see your Uncle Chen later, don't give me that half-dead look. People will think that the children of our Qin family don't know any manners!"
Qin Yi was on the verge of tears. "No, Dad, why do you insist on making me go on blind dates?"
"At your age, if you don't inherit the family business and don't get married, what do you want to do?"
Qin Yi retorted, "Who said that at this age one has to get married and inherit the family business? Besides, the Qin family doesn't only have me as a son. Qin Ji is already in his mid-twenties. Why don't you care about his marriage?"
Qin Liang had considered Qin Ji's marriage.
However, he also understood Qin Ji's temperament; he was too eager for quick success, which led to many things not being done well.
If he were a little more mature, Qin Liang might have already made arrangements for him.
However, at this stage, if you arrange a marriage for Qin Ji, he won't care at all.
Qin Liang saw his younger self in Qin Ji.
He always arrogantly believes he can control everything and is eager to prove to others that he can do it well, but in the end, he messes everything up.
The reason Qin Liang didn't want him to join the company was to suppress his impetuousness.
As for marriage, if Qin Yi doesn't even have a direction yet, and he directly arranges it for Qin Ji, then according to Qin Ji's personality, he will definitely treat this as something to brag about.
Qin Liang did not respond to Qin Yi's words, but said, "If you have the ability, then stay abroad like your brother and don't come back, or go out and start your own business. If you don't, then just listen to me and do whatever I tell you to do."
Qin Yi pouted, "You always use this trick to provoke me. If I run away like my brother one day, you still won't be able to do anything about it. What's with the stubbornness?"
Qin Liang frowned. "What did you say?"
Qin Yi immediately replied, "It's nothing, it's nothing."
He paused, then tried to negotiate with Qin Liang, "Dad, my brother is back now, so please stop bothering me. If you really can't let go of Qin's Group, then talk to my brother and give it to him."
