Chapter 974 He Knows His Limits
Qiao Xing understood the deeper meaning in Grandpa Qin's words, "Grandpa, you wouldn't be thinking of saying..."
Grandpa Qin smiled. "You guessed it too, didn't you?"
Qiao Xing pursed her lips and said uncertainly, "Maybe I'm overthinking it. I just don't think it's that bad."
"You're thinking too highly of people," Grandpa Qin said. "I haven't said anything because I was afraid you'd overthink it, but your return to the Qin family with Qin Ce this time has indeed made them feel threatened."
Qiao Xing felt that Grandpa Qin must have found out something.
Before she could even ask, Grandpa Qin said, "Although I'm in the hospital all day, I know a lot of things, especially since Xiao Ce brought you to stay at the Qin family home this time. I knew he did it on purpose."
Qiao Xing comforted him, "Grandpa, don't worry about it. These things have nothing to do with you. The most important thing for you now is to recover."
Grandpa Qin raised his hand and said, "If I didn't know, that would be fine, but these things, even if I don't know, still need to be resolved. Just because Xiao Ce hasn't mentioned it doesn't mean he doesn't care."
Grandpa Qin looked at Qiao Xing and said, "I'm actually more worried about you than myself."
Qiao Xing asked suspiciously, "Why are you worried about me?"
Grandpa Qin said worriedly, "If Xiao Ce really intends to resolve these issues, he will inevitably fall out with them. You are pregnant, and I'm really afraid that it will implicate you."
Qiao Xing thought Grandpa Qin was overthinking it. "Grandpa, don't worry, I won't be bullied. Besides, it hasn't come to that yet. Even if it does, there's still Qin Ce. Don't worry."
Grandpa Qin thought about it and agreed. She said, "Xiao Ce knows what he's doing. Now that he's made his decision, he shouldn't let you suffer any injustice."
Qiao Xing said, "Yes, so don't think about these things."
After Qiao Xing finished talking with Grandpa Qin, Qin Ce returned and draped his coat over Qiao Xing's shoulders. "Let's go."
Grandpa Qin watched the two leave. He seemed to be thinking about something, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly sighed.
I wonder when this commotion will finally end.
After Qin Ce and Qiao Xing came out of the ward, Qin Ce said, "Tang Xi has a project that has hit a bottleneck. I happen to be in Beijing, and he wants me to go and help him."
Qiao Xing asked, "Was the phone call you received earlier because of this?"
Qin Ce nodded, "Yes, the project will probably take a month or two, and I happen to have nothing else to do."
Qiao Xing paused for a moment, then asked, "What about the Qin family? You really don't plan to get involved?"
There's a lot of talk going around that Qin Liang is going to hand over the Qin family to Qin Ce.
Because of this incident, Wang Yu and Qin Ji could no longer hide their true intentions.
That's why Qin Ce thought of going with the flow and revealing all of Wang Yu's previous intentions.
Qiao Xing believed that at this time, Qin Ce would confirm the rumors circulating outside.
Even if he is really not as good as the Qin family, he should at least show in front of Wang Yu and the others that his relationship with Qin Liang has improved.
But Qin Ce didn't seem to care about this matter.
He said coldly, "We will definitely intervene, but now is not the time."
Although Qin Liang is eager for him to handle all the affairs of the Qin family, he doesn't trust him at all.
In other words, he would rather hand the company over to Qin Ji's good-for-nothing son than have an "outsider" like him interfere.
However, whether he believed it or not, Qin Ce didn't care.
Because he knew that Qin Liang would eventually have to bow down.
Since Qin Ce had already said so, Qiao Xing didn't ask any more questions, since it was ultimately a matter for the Qin family anyway.
She had already offered Qin Ce all the advice she could; saying too much more would only make things worse.
Qin Ce said to Qiao Xing, "If you feel bored while I'm not around, you can go find Xiao Lin."
Qiao Xing asked in surprise, "Xiao Lin? Yang Han has come to Beijing?"
Qin Ce nodded, "Xiao Lin has been running back and forth a lot lately because of company matters, and Yang Han was worried about her, so she came along."
Xiao Lin's pregnancy started around the same time as Qiao Xing's, and their due dates are probably similar.
Qiao Xing isn't doing anything right now and is even finding it inconvenient with her pregnant belly, while Xiao Lin is still working.
Qiao Xing really admired her.
Qin Ce had just finished talking to Qiao Xing about Yang Han and Xiao Lin that morning, and that evening, Yang Han called Qin Ce's cell phone.
"Old Qin, what are you doing? I'm all the way to the capital, and you're not even planning to treat me to a meal or something? You're so unfair!"
Qin Ce and Tang Yi had just come out of the conference room. Facing Yang Han's accusation, he said without changing his expression, "I already said that you said you had to spend time with your wife and didn't have time."
Yang Han was immediately embarrassed. He coughed twice to defend himself, "I really couldn't get away at that time. There was nothing I could do. Your wife was pregnant too. You should be able to understand me, right?"
Qin Ce said directly, "I can't understand."
Yang Han chuckled awkwardly, "I know you won't blame me. Hurry up and bring your wife over. Xiao Lin and I have already reserved a table and are just waiting for you."
After Yang Han finished speaking, as if afraid that Qin Ce would refuse, she hung up the phone first.
After finishing his work, Tang Yi looked up and asked Qin Ce, "Do you have any plans for later? If not, would you like to grab a bite to eat together?"
Qin Ce glanced at him and asked almost without thinking, "Is it that girl again?"
Tang Yi felt somewhat embarrassed that Qin Ce had seen through his thoughts so directly.
He touched his nose, embarrassed, and said, "Yes."
Qin Ce expressed sympathy for his plight, but he genuinely didn't have time. "It might not be possible today, maybe next time."
Tang Yi sighed and said weakly, "It's okay, you go about your business, I'll handle it myself."
Seeing his pained expression, Qin Ce asked curiously, "The girl is really nice, aren't you going to consider it?"
Tang Yi couldn't help but press his temples, feeling exhausted. "Relationships aren't as simple as buying a cabbage at the market. Besides, my feelings are currently tied to interests, so how could I just fall in love with someone like that?"
Qin Ce advised him, "For people of our status, whether it's marriage or dating, as long as it's suitable, that's enough. Constantly worrying about these things won't do you any good."
Tang Yi laughed and scolded, "It's easy for you to say that when you're not in my shoes. You have a wife and kids, of course you don't need to worry about these things."
Qin Ce calmly replied, "I have neither and will not consider it."
He was telling the truth. The reason he chose to skip it was to avoid the hassle of getting to know someone from start to finish, understanding them, and then judging whether they were suitable for marriage.
Tang Xi couldn't stand his tone of enjoying the show and immediately told him to leave, "You should go back now, your wife is waiting."
