Qin Yanshu was completely stunned by the outcome of the negotiation.
She only snapped back to her senses after Dean Mu called her name.
She subconsciously looked at Qin Sheng, but only saw a deeper indifference.
She bit her lip hard, and finally turned her gaze to Wang Shujun, calling out with red eyes, "Grandma..."
She rushed forward, grabbed Wang Shujun's arm, and said in a tearful voice, "Grandma, I promised the principal before I left school that I would handle this matter properly. I still have several years to study at school. How can I face the principal after Qin Sheng and Fu Jingheng did this? How can I go back to school and see the principal?"
"It's only thirty-five million. The Qin and Fu families are large and wealthy, and they don't lack this amount of money. Why do they have to be so ruthless?"
"Grandma, please help me persuade..." my cousin and Young Master Fu.
As Qin Yanshu was speaking, an old hand grabbed hers and slowly pried her hands apart.
Wang Shujun broke free from Qin Yanshu's embrace and stepped back a distance.
The face, though aged, still showed glimpses of its youthful brilliance, but the previous kindness and helplessness had vanished, replaced by indifference and disappointment.
She said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you."
She glanced at Mu Ji, who was staring at her in astonishment, and said calmly, "The Qin family or the Fu family may not be short of money, but a contract is a contract. Since you want Xiao Fu to fulfill his responsibilities according to the contract, then by the same token, you must also bear the responsibilities that are due to you in the contract."
"grandmother……"
"Qin Yanshu." Wang Shujun interrupted her, calling her by her full name for the first time in her life, saying, "This is the first and last time I'll call you by your name."
“Your second uncle’s family has been living here for more than half a year, and your grandfather and I have been here for half a year as well. In all this time, have you thought of coming to see us even once?”
"You haven't even called us once."
"That's because of my mom..."
Wang Shujun waved her hand, not wanting to hear her shirking responsibility, and continued, "I can understand that you don't want to come back, and you don't want to see Shengsheng and Zhao'er. I also don't blame you for resenting me and your grandfather. But it was you who insisted on going back to the Hu family with your mother."
"In that case, let's pick a time to transfer the household registration."
The old man's expression was calm, yet it seemed to possess a power that could penetrate the heart. He said, "Wanting to enjoy the wealth and glory of the Hu family, while also holding onto the Qin surname to try and control Sheng Sheng, is there any good thing in this world that can be had at the same time?"
For her and Qin Yu, and for the sake of the "Qin" in Qin Yanshu's name, Qin Sheng let her go time and time again.
But she'll do it again, and the time after that.
Qin Yanshu has absolutely no idea what it means to know when to stop!
Even at this point, she still wanted to use her to pressure Qin Sheng and force Qin Sheng to give in!
Both are her children, and if she could, Wang Shujun would have loved Qin Yanshu and Qin Sheng to get along peacefully.
I don't ask for deep sisterly affection; just maintaining a semblance of stability is enough.
But even that's no longer possible.
Now, no matter how unwilling she was, she knew that she had to make a choice between her two granddaughters.
She chose Qin Sheng.
Although Qin Sheng has not been back in the Qin family for very long, it is much shorter than Qin Yanshu's eighteen years.
Although this child is always aloof and doesn't talk much.
Although she is often away from home, she has very limited time to spend with them.
But many things are not judged by what is said, but by what is done.
She had witnessed Qin Sheng taking Qin Yu's pulse and giving him acupuncture in the middle of the night because he was worried about Qin Yu's health.
She had seen Qin Sheng stay by Qin Zhao's side and comfort him whenever he fell ill.
She had seen her praise Gu Yueming's cooking with a blank expression, but then turn around and furrow her brows.
She would often stop by to buy food just because someone said it was delicious; she would patiently talk and play chess with them; and she would go out to look for them when her phone was off and she couldn't reach them...
These were all ordinary little things in life, but Wang Shujun saw them all and remembered them.
This child may seem cold-hearted, but in reality, he values emotions more than anything else.
She always tries her best to do everything within her power.
She just never says it.
In contrast, Qin Yanshu...
Disappointment accumulates over time, and feelings are gradually worn away.
It was her parents who were truly sorry, and her grandparents also bore some responsibility, but no matter whose fault it was, Qin Sheng should not have to pay for it.
Wang Shujun's expression hardened, and she turned to Li Sao: "Li Sao, let's see the guests out."
Qin Yanshu was completely stunned.
This was a situation she had never imagined.
She has always been well aware of Wang Shujun and Qin Yu's guilt and tolerance towards her, and she has also made good use of this guilt and tolerance to either seek benefits, provoke Qin Sheng, or cry and act crazy.
The facts have proven this.
No matter how outrageous her actions were, Wang Shujun and Qin Yu tolerated them time and time again, and Qin Sheng also showed her leniency time and time again because the two of them were there to protect her.
Even the two times she attacked Qin Zhao with a knife and almost killed him, she was only given a light scare and that was the end of it.
She only brought two people back to plead for her life, so why is this happening?
Qin Yanshu didn't understand, but Wang Shujun didn't bother to explain further. Seeing that the three of them still hadn't left, she simply called Mo Huang in to shoo them away.
Qin Yanshu's face turned ashen, but no matter how much she cried and made a scene, Wang Shujun showed no sign of softening her heart.
Qin Sheng merely glanced at her indifferently before continuing upstairs.
The three of them were still in a daze even after leaving the Qin family's gate and the residential area where the Qin family villa was located.
In the end, Zhai Shaobo was the first to react.
He awkwardly touched his nose, said goodbye to the two of them, and left in a hurry.
My goodness, her grandfather was right after all. This little granddaughter of the Qin family is indeed a hornet's nest. If you mess with her, you'll be stung by the bees in the nest until your head turns into a pig's head.
He should stop thinking about those things; his life is more important.
Mu Ji and Qin Yanshu stood frozen outside the gate of the residential compound, their faces both looking increasingly grim.
Mu Ji finally realized what was going on—that he hadn't been home in a long time and that he never revealed his identity because he was worried about being talked about.
So Qin Yanshu has absolutely no face in front of Qin Sheng!
Even her own grandmother wants to sever ties with her!
And yet, she still dared to offer to bring him here?
What a big face!
Mu Ji felt suffocated with heartache whenever he thought about the extra 35 million he would have to pay for this trip.
Their school has really messed up this time!
It was a disgrace, a financial loss, and it also offended two people we couldn't afford to offend. Forget about catching up with Tianjin University and Qingda University; we'll have to keep a low profile for the next few years!
