Qin Huaiyi said, "I checked, that courtyard house belongs to him."
"Mom, you didn't see it. That yard is really big, twice the size of Grandpa's house."
Yao Huixian was tempted. "Where did this little bastard get a house?"
Qin Huaiyi encouraged her, "Mom, don't worry about where he got it from. The most important thing right now is to find a way to get the house into our hands. Grandpa has also taken a liking to that courtyard."
Yao Huixian shook her head. "No, your father is at a crucial time in the selection process. If it's discovered that he owns such a large property, it will definitely cause trouble."
Qin Huaiyi thought her mother was really stupid at times. "Who said it was going to be given to Dad? Wouldn't it be better to register it in our names?"
"Let me think about it."
Despite her feelings, Yao Huixian remained somewhat clear-headed.
The house is important, but Qin Jinye and Qin Huaijun's future is also important.
If handled improperly, and used as a tool by someone with ulterior motives, you'll regret it and won't know where to turn for help.
After all, the Qin family's background was not clean to begin with. Once the word "capitalist" is attached to them, it is a stain that can never be washed away for a lifetime.
Qin Jinye was unaware of the courtyard house incident. When he learned from Qin Huaiyi that Qin Yushen and Lin Xiaoxiao had come to Beijing, his eyelids twitched.
I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about it.
That evening, when Qin Yushen returned home, Lin Xiaoxiao told him about the incident where Old Master Qin came to their house and caused trouble.
Qin Yushen's face darkened. "Ignore them. If they cause you trouble, just deal with them."
Lin Xiaoxiao, however, still had a concern: "He is, after all, your own grandfather. If... will it affect you?"
She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that old man Qin wasn't a good person.
Qin Yushen smiled and pulled her into his arms. "It won't have any impact. Don't worry, the old man broke off relations with him many years ago."
ah?
Qin Jinye and Old Master Qin had long since severed ties?
Lin Xiaoxiao looked up, her eyes filled with gossip.
Qin Yushen said in a low voice, "Although the old man is blind, he is not stupid. He saw long ago that the old man was unreliable. He used the excuse that he could not get involved with capitalists if he pursued a career in politics to sign a letter of severance with the old man."
"Wow, that's impressive." Lin Xiaoxiao admitted that her impression of Qin Jinye had changed somewhat.
What a smart person.
But how come someone so smart is always so confused when it comes to family relationships?
Qin Yushen is, after all, his own son. How can he just turn a blind eye to the fact that his own son is being neglected and abused?
If it were before, she would have thought that Qin Jinye didn't know.
Now it seems that he wasn't unaware; he simply didn't care and stood by indifferently.
Lin Xiaoxiao was a little confused, so she asked.
Qin Yu sneered, "Smart people all have one thing in common: they all know how to weigh the pros and cons."
“My stepmother’s father was already the director of the carpet factory at the time. The old man was just an ordinary clerk back then. He wanted to get his father-in-law’s support, so naturally he wouldn’t fall out with Yao Huixian.”
“I was young at the time and had no use to him. If Yao Huixian could get some pleasure from abusing me, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for the old man.”
“Now that I have some use, he can agree to Yao Huixian’s engagement to me without hesitation in order to gain a good reputation for being ‘approachable’.”
"They were willing to give up some money without hesitation in order to win me back."
"For him, money is something you can't take with you when you die; only fame and reputation are things that last."
Lin Xiaoxiao's head trembled.
From this perspective, Qin Jinye is really damn smart.
He included almost everyone, including her.
She thought she was scheming against Qin Jinye, but wasn't Qin Jinye also willingly jumping into her trap?
A mere ten thousand yuan and some ginseng and lingzhi mushrooms are insignificant compared to saving a son with a promising future.
Lin Xiaoxiao frowned, looking displeased.
Being schemed against by that old scoundrel Qin Jinye is unsettling no matter how you look at it.
Qin Yushen seemed to know what she was thinking, and gently rubbed her face, the soft, fleshy texture feeling very comfortable. "It's all in vain for him to do too much."
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at him and understood his meaning in almost a second.
Qin Jinye's investment in her and Qin Yushen was destined to be a complete waste, and he would gain nothing.
Lin Xiaoxiao understood, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
"I'm sorry to have wronged you and A-Ming." Qin Yushen listened to Lin Xiaoxiao recount the harsh words Qin Laoye had said, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head, indicating that she didn't take it to heart at all.
She had heard all sorts of harsh words, so what Old Master Qin said was nothing.
Moreover, she was not one to be bullied; she would settle scores on the spot.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't care, but Qin Yushen kept it in mind.
"Today I went to the General Hospital of the Army..." Lin Xiaoxiao briefly recounted what she had done that day, emphasizing the attitude of the Chu family towards her, and the two pointed remarks made by Chu Xiaonian and Chu Weinian at the end.
Qin Yushen's eyes flickered.
Thinking back to Commander Han Ming's attitude towards him when he reported for duty yesterday, he understood what was going on.
"If I'm not mistaken, my transfer to Beijing wasn't Han Xiu's doing; it must have been the Chu family's help."
Lin Xiaoxiao understood.
After she saved Xiaobao, the Chu family didn't give her any substantial reward because Xiaobao was sick. However, after learning about Lin Xiaoxiao's relationship with Qin Yushen, they took the opportunity to curry favor with Qin Yushen in front of the higher-ups.
