Guan Shaoning first carefully read through the agreement, and after confirming that there were no problems, he showed the agreement to the crowd, finally pointing it at Pei Yongshou: "Patriarch Pei, is this what you mean by not terminating the adoption relationship?"
Pei Yongshou chuckled slowly and said, "I thought that as a lawyer, you should be more aware of the validity of this agreement than I am?"
“Can an agreement signed by a minor have legal effect? This is just something Pei wrote down casually to please his daughter.” Pei Yongshou laughed casually as he spoke, taking out his own agreement and tearing it to shreds in front of everyone: “It’s just a piece of waste paper.”
Guan Shaoning's eyes flickered slightly: "It seems that Patriarch Pei had planned this all along."
Pei Yongshou smiled casually, "What plans? I'm just telling the truth. Alright, now that things are clear, Sheng Sheng," he reached out to pull Qin Sheng, "come home with Dad."
He looked at Qin Zheng and said, "Don't worry, Second Master Qin, I will take good care of Sheng Sheng. If she still wants to return to the Qin family when she turns eighteen, I will not force her. It will only take about seven or eight months. Second Master Qin, just wait patiently."
As for what will happen in the next seven or eight months, that depends on Master Qin's sincerity.
Bae Yong-soo didn't explicitly state his last sentence, but everyone present with a modicum of intelligence understood it.
If everyone still doesn't know the Pei family's plans by now, then they've really wasted all these years in the business world.
What a magnificent drama of "using Qin Sheng to command the Qin family"!
Although it's only been seven or eight months, it's enough for the Pei family to overcome their current difficulties and quickly establish themselves. If they were even more ruthless, it wouldn't be impossible for them to reach even greater heights.
As long as the Qin family can't bear to part with their daughter Qin Sheng, they'll just have to swallow their pride and accept this stinky foot bath water.
As for whether the Qin family can bear to part with it...
Everyone looked at Gu Yueming and Qin Shi'an, who were protecting Qin Sheng from the left and right, preventing Pei Yongshou from getting close, and then at Qin Zheng, who was blocking the three of them, and shook their heads and sighed.
Alright, the Qin family is doomed!
"Tsk, I was right, wasn't I? She really did try to climb the social ladder but ended up dragging the Qin family down with her. She caused such a big mess on her very first day. If she really goes back to the Qin family, she'll ruin the entire family, won't she?"
The women gathered at the back couldn't help but whisper among themselves. One of the girls, dressed in a red dress, said with a hint of schadenfreude.
"This has nothing to do with Qin Sheng. It's mainly because the Pei family is too shameless. She was also schemed against. She's quite pitiful." Someone couldn't help but speak up for Qin Sheng.
The girl in the red dress sneered: "How can it not be her business? If she had explained things to the Qin family beforehand, if she hadn't been in such a hurry to reveal her identity as the Qin family's daughter, with Second Master Qin's methods, wouldn't she have been able to handle the mere Pei family?"
"In the end, it's because some people were too impatient, which gave the Pei family an opportunity to take advantage of the situation."
That does seem to be true.
Thinking about it this way, those who had initially felt some sympathy for Qin Sheng and the Qin family suddenly lost their sympathy and began to peek and watch the show.
At the same time, the eyes of some wealthy family heads in the inner circle also flickered.
They suddenly realized that it seemed that ever since Qin Zheng took over the Qin family, the Qin family had firmly held the position of the most powerful family in Ancheng, which had been more than 20 years ago.
More than twenty years, that's a really long time. It's about time for things to change in Ancheng...
Pei Yongshou took in the expressions of everyone around him, which made him feel even more at ease. He looked at the Qin family with dissatisfaction: "The matter has been explained very clearly. What does the Qin family mean by this? Do you want to take this to court before you will let Shengsheng go home with me?"
Seeing the other party's self-righteous and shameless face, Gu Yueming was so angry that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys ached. She rolled up her sleeves and said, "Going to court, huh? Believe me or not, I'll beat you so badly that you won't be able to get out of bed for seven or eight months. Let's see how you'll act then!"
He was about to make a move.
Qin Xuehua, who was already terrified of being kicked, shuddered and instinctively shrank behind Pei Yongshou.
As Qin Sheng watched, the restlessness surging within her suddenly subsided, and she reached out and pulled Gu Yueming along.
“Violence won’t solve the problem. Let’s hear what the lawyer has to say first,” Qin Sheng said.
Those who witnessed Qin Sheng kicking Pei Yongshou and the other person away: ...Wouldn't it be more convincing if someone else said this?
Gu Yueming immediately stopped, looking like a good girl: "Okay, Mommy will listen to Shengsheng."
Then he looked at Guan Shaoning and said, "Lawyer, what do you think..."
Guan Shaoning smiled slightly, thinking that it was no wonder that Master Fu had made a series of urgent calls to summon him from all over the world; this young lady's family was indeed quite interesting.
He adjusted his glasses, maintaining his standard professional smile: "Since Patriarch Pei has done his homework, may I ask if you are familiar with Articles 17 and 18 of the General Principles of Civil Law?"
To be honest, Pei Yongshou did know, but if he said it now, it would just confirm Guan Shaoning's words that he had "done his homework." So he just frowned slightly, feigning doubt, and said, "Please enlighten me, lawyer."
Guan Shaoning smiled slightly: "According to Articles 17 and 18 of the General Principles of Civil Law, minors aged sixteen or above who rely on their own labor income as their main source of livelihood are considered to have full civil capacity."
Pei Yongshou suddenly realized: "So there are such regulations, but..." He glanced at Qin Sheng and smiled slightly, "Sheng Sheng is just a high school student. She has been pampered by me and her mother since she was a child. She doesn't have any outstanding skills besides studying, so how can she have any income from her own labor?"
"This regulation doesn't apply to her."
He had an expression that said, "Everything is under control."
Qin Sheng's gaze swept over him, and she suddenly spoke up: "Who said I don't have any skills to show for myself?"
She nodded her chin at a nearby waiter and said, "Bring me paper and pen."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the outer edge of the crowd.
Xie Fang immediately realized something and rushed out before Qin Sheng could. He grabbed a table, moved the fruit and snacks on it aside, and said to Qin Sheng with a fawning smile, "Sister Sheng Sheng, please."
Qin Sheng glanced at him, said nothing, and sat down in the chair that Fu Jingheng had brought from somewhere. Then she opened her WeChat payment code and put it on the table.
Xie Fang immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "Don't miss out! Iron Hand Holy Doctor, specializing in treating difficult and complicated diseases, bringing the dead back to life, and healing flesh and bones. There's nothing our divine doctor can't do if you can imagine it. We guarantee a cure. Welcome to come and consult!"
Qin Sheng: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Xie Fang continued: "Great value for money, honest dealings with everyone, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so grab it while you can!"
After saying that, he sat down in the chair opposite Qin Sheng and put his hands on the table: "Dr., I've been having backaches, leg cramps, and can't sleep well at night. I also have a poor appetite during the day. Can you examine me and tell me what's wrong?"
Everyone: "..."
