Chapter 17 Chapter 17 The Resonant Brain
The Qin family is much more lively than the last time I came. The engagement ceremony is tomorrow, and some guests who live far away have been invited to come a day in advance.
This area is under the sphere of influence of the Qin family. Normally, no outsiders would stray into this area, so there is naturally no hotel. However, the Qin family has a special courtyard for receiving guests, which can accommodate as many people as possible.
There are not many opportunities to curry favor with the Qin family. Luxury cars are constantly coming and going on the road, because not all the young people's weddings will be arranged in a grand manner by the Qin family. In the previous generation, there was only such a scene when Qin Sheng's uncle Qin Kangcheng got married, but for some reason, it was the second son Qin Kangnian who became the head of the family.
Fortunately, the Qin family seems to have a good family tradition. After Qin Kangnian became the head of the family, he did not have any conflicts with his eldest brother Qin Kangcheng. Even though he doted on his sickly eldest son who made no contribution to the family, there were no rumors of dissatisfaction from other branches of the Qin family.
Well, there are younger generations, but the weight of their opinions in the eyes of the outside world is currently almost zero.
Even Qin Sheng's younger brother Qin Xing, watching the whole family come together to hold an engagement ceremony with the whole family attending, he could only crawl in the dark in a corner where no one cared, feeling twisted and jealous.
Qin Kangnian said that anyone who dares to cause trouble and publicly insult his elder brother will have his legs broken.
Because the day Qin Sheng came back to inform them of their engagement, this guy thought that Qin Sheng was bound to fall out of favor, and he couldn't wait to take advantage of the situation when he got the chance. His jealous look was so ugly.
Qin Kangnian knew what kind of person he was, so he could only give him a dose of vaccination in advance, lest he really dare to rely on the fact that he was the biological son of the head of the family and the biological brother of Qin Sheng, and be confident that the two of them would never do anything serious to him.
No one in the family, including his father, dared to provoke Qin Sheng, but he thought he was a nobody.
He was also blinded by his thoughts. Qin Sheng had no brotherly feelings for him. He only needed to be cruel and say that this family can only have him, and he would not be able to leave. He had no doubt that the old man would decide to kick Qin Xing out.
Qin Kangnian only has Qin Xing as his real son, but the old man has many grandchildren. At most, he can wait for another seven or eight years, until Qin Sheng turns 30, and then bring him back.
But Qin Xing couldn't bear such suffering.
Therefore, even Wu Yunlian, who had always doted on him, gave him a lecture and repeatedly warned him to stay well for the next two days.
Qin Xing was almost suffocated to death. He really couldn't figure out how his elder brother was better than him. He racked his brains and took out the little honesty he had accumulated since his mother's womb, but he could only barely find one aspect in which he was slightly inferior to Qin Sheng:
He probably isn't as good-looking as Qin Sheng.
Not only him, but none of his brothers can compare to Qin Sheng's appearance. Could this really be the reason why Qin Sheng is the most favored among them?
How ridiculous.
"This world is truly a giant makeshift troupe." Qin Shi appeared out of nowhere, approached the sullen Qin Xing, and whispered sarcastically, "What right does that sickly fellow have?"
Both of them were arranged to greet guests at the door, and they saw that the vehicles coming and going suddenly made way on both sides at the same time. Qin Sheng drove straight in, and the scene was so grand that he almost needed to pave the road with loess.
Qin Xing glanced at him and said nothing.
It was true that he hated Qin Sheng, but he also didn't like these cousins speaking on his behalf and making these remarks in front of him.
In his opinion, Qin Sheng was the only one who had the right not to understand, while others who expressed their genuine feelings and felt upset were simply ignorant of their own mistakes.
No matter how sick and useless Qin Sheng was, he was still the son of the patriarch just like him. Even if it wasn't Qin Sheng, it wouldn't be their turn.
Don't say you're speaking up for him. Anyone who believes that is a fool.
Qin Shi felt bored and curled his lips secretly. He turned around and saw Qin Sheng and Xu Zhaoyi getting out of the car.
His eyes rolled and he had an idea. He walked forward with his hands in his pockets as Qin Xing looked at the warrior.
He didn't talk to Qin Sheng, for fear that the other party would ignore him in front of so many guests, which Qin Sheng was definitely capable of doing.
He approached Xu Zhaoyi with a familiar look on his face, and teased him sincerely, "It's rare that my eldest cousin has such a caring side. You're amazing. We were classmates before, and I was a little worried that you two had only known each other for so long. Isn't it too impulsive to get married so soon?"
Xu Zhaoyi frowned: "…" Is this Qin Shi? Why does he sound like a eunuch after not seeing him for a few days?
When straight men hear Chayan Chayu, they just subconsciously feel that something is not right.
But Noodles immediately exploded: [Hey! Where did this idiot green tea come from! Host, fuck him! He thought his subtle sarcasm wouldn't work against him, right? He's overestimating the host's moral standards!]
Qin Sheng: [………]You brat who can’t tell friend from foe.
He reached out and smoothed the noodles, saying nonchalantly, "It's hard to believe you have the time to worry about me. It seems you're not really focused on cultivation. If that's the case, why don't you just waste resources? Why don't you divide your share of this year's allocation equally among the other brothers?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Shi's originally smug and confident expression froze in an instant.
"Cousin." He forced a smile and said, "I'm just being kind and concerned about my old classmate. What did I say wrong? Second uncle is in charge of the allocation of family resources. Could it be that just because you don't like me, you want Second uncle to help you get revenge?"
At first, he was still in a bad mood, but as he spoke, he became indignant and couldn't keep his composure.
"Why are you so excited?" Qin Sheng shrugged and smiled. "I'm just making a suggestion to avoid wasting resources. Like you, I have good intentions."
"You obviously...!"
Qin Shi was so angry that his face turned pale and his neck became thick. He opened his mouth to argue, but when he saw the warning look from Qin An, the housekeeper behind Qin Sheng, he shrank his neck.
Reason returned in an instant.
God, how dare he quarrel with Qin Sheng?
If he really had the courage, he wouldn't pick on the weak and do it in such a roundabout way.
A feeling of regret belatedly welled up in Qin Shi's heart. He knew very well that what Qin Sheng had said was just a suggestion. As long as it reached the old man's ears, it would most likely be implemented. This was the case in the past.
If a year's cultivation resources were really distributed to other people, his parents would probably be so angry that they would beat him to death.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something nice to Qin Sheng, but there were so many people coming and going here that he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Although they didn't actually quarrel and not many people noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, he knew in his heart that Qin Xing was waiting behind him to laugh at him.
How, how could this happen...
It was obvious that he was not targeting Qin Sheng. He thought that Xu Zhaoyi was a newcomer, and as long as he could not find any flaws in his words, he would not dare to be petty in public for the sake of face.
Now he would rather Xu Zhaoyi be so petty than to keep silent and have Qin Sheng do it for him!
Noodles lay in Xu Zhaoyi's arms, and with great effort raised his head to admire Qin Shi's ashen face and trembling lips from all angles.
[Ah, cool!]
This guy is funny. This is not a debate. Who will analyze with you word by word which sentence is wrong? Do they need to submit evidence in court just because they don't like you?
"Sheng'er is here. What's going on? Why is he standing at the door and not coming in?"
Wu Yunlian came out at the right time to break the deadlock. When she heard the news that Qin Sheng had returned, she hurried downstairs, fearing that Qin Xing would not listen to her and Qin Kangnian's warnings.
Who knew that Qin Xing had learned his lesson, and Qin Shi dragged his light bones to add fuel to the fire again.
Wu Yunlian wanted to let Qin Xing see a negative example, so he simply hid and did not go out to stop it.
Qin Shi was not completely stupid. His thoughts were applicable to everyone else. Who would marry into a wealthy family without suffering some grievances? These two light and sarcastic remarks were already considered soft.
But Qin Shi, this idiot, didn't even think about Qin Sheng's bad temper of scolding people without choosing the person or the day. He dared to randomly pick unlucky people at home to vent his anger for no reason, as if the God of Hell was calling for his turn. Not to mention that Qin Shi really acted rudely towards his fiancé.
Now that his goal had been achieved, Wu Yunlian hurriedly came out from the dark to ease the situation.
"Xiao Yi, can I call you that? You left in a hurry when I came back last time, and I didn't have time to give you a welcome gift."
She smiled lovingly at Xu Zhaoyi, expressing her kindness. The smile was exactly the same as the one she gave Qin Sheng. Then she raised her hand and took out the red envelope she had prepared early in the morning.
Noodles quickly snatched the red envelope from its father, who was holding it with both hands full. Xu Zhaoyi could only give him an awkward but polite smile in return.
"Thank you..." The word "Mom" was stuck in my throat and I couldn't say it out.
"Just call me Auntie."
Qin Sheng frowned and interrupted him from calling for help. After that, he put his hand to his lips and coughed twice without explaining why.
Wu Yunlian's face froze, but she could only say: "Auntie is anxious. If you are not used to it, you can change it after the official marriage. Sheng'er is really careful."
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
Of course Xu Zhaoyi listened to Qin Sheng, and he probably guessed the reason why Qin Sheng didn't let him shout.
Tsk, he is indeed very careful.
Afterwards, Qin Sheng took Xu Zhaoyi straight back to his room, without any intention of meeting his elders.
Fortunately, everyone in the Qin family was used to his impoliteness, so they casually handed the prepared red envelope to Wu Yunlian and asked her to find an opportunity to pass it on.
"Is this the room you've lived in since you were a child?"
After Xu Zhaoyi entered the room, he put the noodles on the sofa and looked around. He had to say that this decoration style was in line with his stereotype of Qin Sheng's gloomy and strange personality in his previous life.
"...Hmm." Qin Sheng paused and changed the subject subtly: "Do you think your uncles will come tomorrow?"
"I don't know, but if I were them, I would come." Xu Zhaoyi smiled. "Their plan has failed, so they should know that playing the family card and asking for my forgiveness is their only option now."
"So you want them to just disappear?"
Qin Sheng asked softly. In the original work, these people were not killed by Xu Zhaoyi himself. Instead, it was mentioned in the later part of the plot that they didn't know who they had offended, and their entire family died suddenly overnight.
When Xu Zhaoyi heard about this at that time, he was stunned for a moment. He had no interest in repaying kindness with kindness and finding out the truth for them. He just listened to it and their ending was just glossed over.
"What do you think?"
Xu Zhaoyi was quite surprised that Qin Sheng would ask this. He thought that the fate of those people had been determined the moment they attacked Qin Sheng.
"I don't have any idea, I just feel like they must have done more than just this one damn thing."
Qin Sheng made a somewhat off-putting analogy: "Have you ever heard the saying? When you see a cockroach in your home, there may be tens of thousands of them in the dark corners."
Well, he just suspected that the accident that happened to Xu Zhaoyi's parents had something to do with his uncles, but the original work did not mention it, so he was not so sure and did not dare to tell Xu Zhaoyi rashly.
Some things are too heavy to mention frivolously, even with good intentions.
However, Xu Zhaoyi was too sharp, or it could be said that their brains were really in sync. After being stunned for a moment after hearing the words, his face suddenly turned as pale as paper, and all the blood color faded.
