"dad--"
"You're welcome."
As soon as Qin Zhengze answered the phone, he heard Qin Kunkun call him "Dad" in that tone, as if he could hear money flowing out. He immediately preemptively spoke first, leaving Qin Kunkun speechless.
Qin Gu: "...Okay, Dad, then I won't thank you. I just wanted to ask about that plane..."
"What's wrong with the plane?" Qin Zhengze said, "You can't fly it? It's okay, Dad will go all the way and get you a pilot."
Qin Gu: "..."
If you hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have thought of that. He just got his driver's license and hasn't even picked up his car yet, and he already has a plane... Does he have to learn how to fly a plane?
Qin Gu: "No, what I meant was, isn't the color of that plane... a little inappropriate?"
"What's wrong with it?" Qin Zheng unconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth. His secretary handed him coffee and secretly glanced at the big boss's expression, his mind filled with "Holy crap!"
I never expected that the big boss would have this kind of style when interacting with his son.
"What's appropriate?" Qin Gu was speechless. He suspected that his father was setting him up and he had evidence.
“Didn’t you get a boyfriend? What’s that rainbow color again? I’m just publicly showing my support.” Qin Zheng’s argument was logical and well-founded, leaving Qin Gu speechless.
However, setting aside the underlying meaning, he really couldn't stand the vibrant colors.
"Dad, I understand your intentions, but look, isn't this color too flashy?" Qin Gu tried to find the right words to persuade his father to change the color for him.
"Flowers? It seems a bit..."
"Right?" Qin Gu's face lit up with joy, feeling success was within reach: "Then please get me another one—"
"But what does that have to do with me?"
Qin Gu: "???"
Qin Zheng replied matter-of-factly, "It's not like I'm using it."
Qin Gu: "..."
Qin Zhengze: "Is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up. You're on vacation, but your dad is still busy. Find something to do, don't be a lazy bum at such a young age."
Qin Gu: "...Okay, Dad. I understand, Dad. Thank you, Dad. You're busy, Dad."
As soon as he hung up the phone, Ruan Bei immediately let go of his hand covering his mouth and laughed loudly and unrestrainedly.
Qin Gu sat there for a while with a dark face. When he saw that Ruan Bei hadn't stopped, he pounced on him and started rubbing him. Ruan Bei laughed and begged for mercy while panting.
The news of the appearance of the Qin family's heir, along with the photo of the colorful airplane, sparked heated discussions online for several days.
Judging from the age of the Qin family head—although Qin Zhengze has never publicly disclosed his personal information, Qin Zhengping's age can be found online, and he is younger than Qin Zhengping, so his age can be roughly estimated.
—The Crown Prince of Qin shouldn't be too old now. None of the Qin family members who have appeared in public are bad-looking. Qin Zhengze is relatively low-key and hasn't appeared in public much, but most netizens guess that the Crown Prince of Qin is not bad-looking.
The sole heir of the Qin family, a future billionaire—these attributes are so compelling that netizens are digging deeper into the details.
However, the Crown Prince of Qin was so well hidden that if it weren't for the official account speaking out, they would have doubted whether the Crown Prince of Qin even existed.
In a subsequent audio interview, the head of the Qin family rarely gave an interview and said that his son was still young and did not want him to receive too much attention for the time being.
Although his face wasn't shown, his deep, magnetic voice garnered a lot of goodwill from netizens.
As the news spread online, the group of people who were greatly affected did not stop their actions.
After the engagement banquet ended that day, Qin Zhengping immediately called the old house. The old man was not used to carrying his mobile phone with him, so his phone was held by the butler.
The moment the call connected, Qin Zhengping's frenzied energy could be felt even through the phone.
He shouted, "Qin Zhengze is lying! He did it on purpose, didn't he? He doesn't have a son! He's not even married!"
Old Master Qin was getting on in years and hated people yelling. His shouting made his heart race, and the old housekeeper quickly moved the phone away.
Neither of them usually likes to go online, and since Grandpa Qin had long since relinquished power, they weren't quick to receive information. At this moment, they had no idea what kind of shady things their son had done.
Qin Zhengping's shout made the old man belatedly realize that something he didn't know might have happened.
"What do you mean by that? Explain what happened to me clearly." Although Old Master Qin's voice was old, his momentum was not diminished at all. With just one sentence, Qin Zhengping calmed down, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
He actually yelled at his dad! Has he gone mad?
"say!"
Qin Zhengping quickly recounted what had happened, and finally said indignantly, "Dad, do you think he went too far? Even if he has some complaints about me, today is Ah Shen's special day. Ah Shen, as his nephew, has always been very respectful to him. How could he slap our family in the face like this?"
"Good, good!" Old Master Qin laughed out loud. That rascal had finally come to his senses and was willing to bring his eldest grandson back.
Qin Zhengping was stunned. Okay?
good? ! ! !
"Dad, what do you mean by this? How can you be so biased? Where did Qin Zhengze get this child? He's willing to adopt a child randomly just to hurt me. This is confusing the Qin family bloodline. Can you really tolerate this?"
Old Master Qin couldn't stand such words and immediately retorted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?! That's my Qin family's eldest grandson. I even held him when he was little. He looks just like Zhengze!"
Qin Zhengping: "??????"
"Dad!!! Where did Qin Zhengze get this child? Why don't I know about him?"
"Where did it come from? Of course, it was born from someone he married. Did he have it himself?" Old Master Qin said irritably.
Although he disliked He Cong'an, feeling that the girl came from a poor background and was too lively to be a virtuous wife and mother, he could not deny her marriage to his son, otherwise his eldest grandson would become an illegitimate child.
Qin Zhengping went mad, completely mad. It turned out that his father knew from the beginning that Qin Zhengze had a wife and children, but the whole family kept it a secret from them.
Then, were all his ambitions, his thoughts that Ah Shen could inherit the Qin family, and his provocations in front of Qin Zhengze, just like a clown?
Qin Zhengze must have seen him make a fool of himself countless times; his whole life was a joke!
Qin Zhengping slammed down the phone, like a trapped beast, on the verge of collapse with nowhere to vent his frustration.
He smashed everything in the house in a frenzy. Luo Youqi and Qin Shen were at a loss. They watched their husband/father make a phone call and break down. They knew that things were going in the direction they didn't want.
The Qin family was in a state of utter chaos and despair, while the Lu family was also suffering.
Lu Minghai guessed that Qin Zhengping would contact the capital, so he called at the appointed time, but the call went unanswered, and there was still no news by evening.
He sent people to inquire again. Qin Zhengping had caused too much trouble; the house was so badly damaged that it was uninhabitable. Lu Minghai quickly received the news and learned the result he wanted to know.
This move is practically a waste.
Lu Minghai sighed. Unless the real Crown Prince of Qin died suddenly, Qin Shen had no hope.
However, it's not a good time to turn against him directly now. For this move, he pushed his own son even further away, and he had to endure the disgust to bring Lu Sibai back.
Having already invested so much, withdrawing now would make him seem heartless and wouldn't be worthwhile.
Thinking of this, Lu Minghai rubbed his aching temples and left the study.
As soon as Feng Zhihui saw him, she immediately shouted, "Minghai, are we just going to let this go? That Qin Shen is outrageous! He made Sibai cry right after the engagement. Is that how he does things?"
"What else can we do but forget about it?" Lu Minghai had a terrible headache. He had been annoyed whenever he saw Feng Zhihui lately. He used to think it was good that she was a little stupid, so she would be easier to control.
Now he realizes that he was so stupid it was unbearable.
He thought of his mistress, whom he had recently been keeping outside the home. She was young and beautiful, and most importantly, she was understanding, knew how to read people's expressions, and knew how to talk. She took good care of him and made him feel comfortable. Finally, there was a place where he could breathe a sigh of relief.
"What should we do? Of course, we should demand an explanation from them!" Feng Zhihui's voice also became sharp in Lu Minghai's ears: "Qin Shen is no longer the heir of the Qin family, so our family doesn't need to be afraid of them!"
"You're not allowed to go!" Lu Minghai shouted angrily. "You still have the nerve to cause trouble? Your good nephew has done such a disgrace to the Lu family!"
Feng Zhihui felt wronged: "How was I supposed to know that little bastard Song Jiaxi would do this? I don't like him, and I'm not close to him at all."
So how can you blame her for this? She's a victim too.
Lu Minghai closed his eyes: "You are not allowed to go out recently, and you are not allowed to talk to anyone. If you don't listen, you can go back to the Feng family."
Feng Zhihui's eyes widened suddenly: "You want to kick me out?"
Lu Minghai gave her a cold look, and Feng Zhihui, startled by his icy gaze, shrank back timidly: "I have a spa appointment tomorrow..."
Her voice grew softer and softer until it finally faded away under Lu Minghai's cold gaze.
"And you too." Lu Minghai looked at Lu Sibai, whose eyes were red and swollen: "You are already engaged to Qin Shen. No matter what conflicts you have, hurry up and coax him back."
The engagement is already set, it's not appropriate to call it off now, and what good would it do anyway? The child is basically ruined, so it's better for him to stay with Qin Shen; who knows what might happen in the future.
Lu Sibai flinched, finding it hard to accept the words Qin Shen had used to insult him.
But he didn't dare to confront Lu Minghai, fearing that he would be kicked out again, so he could only bite his lip and nod.
Both families' lives were affected by the bomb Qin Zhengze threw, but Ruan Bei and Qin Gu happily watched the spectacle and then forgot about it.
They had more important things to do; Ruan Bei's eighteenth birthday was approaching.
Coming-of-age ceremonies are always more important than other birthdays. In the past, Ruan Bei himself might not have cared too much about it, but this year... he plans to confess his feelings to Kun Kun.
But he was really torn. He studied a lot of other people's confession videos, even refraining from joking around, and asked Bai Miaomiao for advice, but he still couldn't find a particularly suitable one.
Because it's relatively rare for boys to confess to each other, there aren't many examples to draw on. He didn't want to be too cliché, but some of the things he did find too awkward to say.
His birthday arrived amidst his inner turmoil.
Every year on his birthday, his family and friends would gather together. His uncle's family, godmother, and future brother-in-law would all be at home to celebrate his birthday together at noon.
Mr. Ruan was very open-minded. He said that it would be uncomfortable to invite classmates over if their parents were there. Ruan Bei wanted to invite classmates and friends, and they could do it in the evening, either at home or in a restaurant.
Lu Minghai and Lu Siyuan came to his house to wish him a happy birthday and brought him gifts.
Ruan Bei's two cousins and brother-in-law blocked the gate completely, refusing to let him in or accept his gifts.
