Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Mo Bao was injured.
After Qin Moran lay by the railing and fed the fish for a while, a gust of night wind blew and he shivered slightly because of the cold.
Jiang Yan, who was standing next to him, noticed this and said, "Is Mobao cold? Why don't we go inside?"
Qin Moran nodded: "Okay."
After saying that, he quickly tore the remaining steamed bun into pieces and threw them into the pond. Then, he leaned over the railing and said to the fish, "Take your time eating. I'm leaving now."
The fish happily scrambled for the steamed bread slices he threw.
Qin Moran looked back several times, then followed everyone back into the room.
There were too many people in the hall, so they simply went to a side hall next to it.
It was much quieter in the side hall, with only a few people gathered together talking.
Qin Moran was brought to a sofa.
Everyone sat down on the sofa.
There are quite a few desserts and drinks on the coffee table.
Qin Moran was looking at the food when a girl teased him, gently touched the hair on his head, and then immediately withdrew her hand.
Qin Moran noticed it and looked up, but saw nothing.
He had a slightly puzzled look on his face.
What happened just now? Was it an illusion?
Several girls were holding back their laughter.
Qin Moran couldn't find the reason and turned back.
At this time, the girl touched his head gently again.
Qin Moran looked up again, but still saw nothing.
The look on his face grew even more shocked.
Someone asked, "What happened to Mobao?"
Qin Moran: "There seems to be a monster in this room."
As he spoke, he looked around blankly, with a hint of fear on his face.
Several girls were almost injured from trying to hold back their laughter.
The girl who reached out and touched Qin Moran's head felt a little guilty, thinking that she had scared the little girl, and wondered whether she should explain.
Just at this moment, Qin Moran took a fancy to a small cake on the table, reached out and took it, and took a light bite.
A girl asked, "Mobao, weren't you scared just now? Why are you eating now?"
Qin Moran said as he bit into the cake, "I'm a little hungry. Wait until I finish eating before getting scared."
This cautious and serious little look is really cute.
Several girls could no longer control their laughter.
So fear can be paused?!
This little guy has so many wonderful ideas!!
In addition to Qin Moran being liked by everyone, his second brother Qin Boxi is also liked by everyone.
At this moment, many people surrounded Qin Boxi and asked him for his autograph.
"I was thinking this party was worth it, wasn't it? I actually got Qin Boxi's autograph!!"
"The smile he just gave me when he lowered his head really touched my heart."
"Does the Qin family have any plans for marriage?"
Faced with all the teasing from the girls, Qin Boxi just smiled politely and then took a pen to sign various objects.
No matter how many people came to see him, he never showed any impatience.
Such a gentle and considerate Qin Boxi makes girls even more moved.
On the other side, there was an empty reception room.
Qin Lian'an and Old Madam Qin walked in together.
With the door closed, there were only mother and son in the room, and they could talk privately.
Madam Qin sat down on a chair, looking elegant and graceful, and said to Qin Li'an, "Just say whatever you want to say."
Qin Li'an also picked a chair and sat down, and said straight to the point: "Mom, your behavior in the hall was inappropriate."
Old Madam Qin raised her head but did not respond.
Qin Li'an continued, "Why did you embarrass Ruolan in public?"
Just now, Old Madam Qin accepted He Lingya's necklace and asked her son Qin Li'an to go over and take a look.
The meaning of such an action is self-evident.
Madam Qin finally spoke: "I don't like your daughter-in-law. Do you know this now?"
Qin Li'an didn't get angry, but asked, "Then what's the point of you getting close to He Lingya? Can I still remarry her? Mom, you have to understand that your actions are meaningless."
Old Madam Qin seemed to be touched by what she said and frowned delicately.
Although she is almost seventy years old, her heart is not old at all and she understands many things.
She was also thinking about what Qin Lian said.
After a long while, Madam Qin sighed softly and said, "Now that things have come to this, I'm not afraid to be frank with you today. I'm actually not very satisfied with either of my two daughters-in-law. Even if you didn't say it, I know Xiaoya's personality. She's too competitive and has done many things that have earned her hatred. And as for your Ruolan, I know her even better. She's too weak and indecisive. Besides taking care of her husband and children, what else can she do every day?"
Qin Li'an did not interrupt.
Madam Qin continued, "The reason I value Xiaoya more is because she can help you in your career. Don't think that the Qin Group is under the control of you and Xiaoxuan now, but this is not set in stone. You have to understand that I am your father's second wife, and he already has a pair of children. How do you know that your two children won't come to compete with you for control of the group?"
If you look closely, the Qin family's relationships are indeed very complicated.
Take Mr. Qin for example. He had an ex-wife who gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, but later died in an accident.
After that, Mr. Qin married Mrs. Qin and gave birth to Qin Li'an.
Fortunately, Qin Li'an's abilities were obvious to all, and he successfully won the seat of chairman at the shareholders' meeting.
Otherwise, it is still unknown who will succeed the Qin Group.
Besides, the Qin family is not just these people.
Old Master Qin has countless brothers and sisters. Logically speaking, those branches are also qualified to compete for control of the Qin Group.
Once someone develops ulterior motives, wins over the group's shareholders, and gains an advantage in various votes, the position of the group's leader will change again.
This is exactly why Old Lady Qin wants to win over He Lingya.
As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. If his son Qin Li'an had a wife who could fight with him in the business world, many things would be much easier.
Old Madam Qin does not value any of her daughters-in-law. She only cares about the interests of her own son, Qin Li'an.
She will approve the daughter-in-law who can bring the greatest help to her son.
After listening to what Old Madam Qin said, Qin Li'an smiled and said, "Mom, you are already at the age where you can enjoy your retirement. Why do you have to worry about these things every day?"
Madam Qin said seriously, "As long as I don't close my eyes, I won't be worried about these things."
Qin Li'an smiled and said, "Let's not talk about the fact that if a man needs his wife to succeed in his career, it itself proves that he is incompetent. Secondly, if you insist that my marriage to Ruolan is wrong, then it proves that we are both wrong. Why do you blame her alone? It's unfair. You are just imposing your anger on her."
Madam Qin refused to give in: "Neither of us can convince the other, so don't waste your time."
Qin Li'an also turned serious. "But your actions will destroy the harmony of my family. You don't want your son to have to worry about these messy things at home while he's fighting in the business world every day, right? To be honest, aren't you also holding me back?"
Old Madam Qin stopped talking.
Qin Li'an stopped there and waited for Old Madam Qin to figure it out herself.
The three-foot-thick ice does not form overnight. Some things need to be left to time.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the reception room.
Madam Qin adjusted her cheongsam and said, "Come in."
An old housekeeper came in and said, "Madam, the master's other two children are coming soon."
Madam Qin glanced at Qin Li'an and said, "Look, isn't this just saying Cao Cao is here?"
On the other side of the car.
Qin Liren and Qin Limei are about to arrive.
They are also part of the old house. Although their biological mother died early, they still have their father, Grandpa Qin. Moreover, they also have a large number of shares in the Qin Group.
But there were more than just these two people in the car, there was also Qin Liren's wife, son and daughter, and a grandson.
Six people sat in the spacious car, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
Qin Liren thought about things with a gloomy face all the way. Finally, he looked at Qin Limei beside him and asked, "Why didn't your husband and children come?"
Qin Limei was also a weak-tempered person. When asked by her eldest brother, she flinched: "Even if they come, it won't help. Big brother, you know, my husband is a technician and he's not very good at talking. He was so nervous in such a crowded place that he couldn't even speak. Besides, my child is still young..."
"Alright, alright!" Qin Liren interrupted her impatiently, "What a bunch of useless people."
Qin Liren's wife was also speechless and sat silently by the side.
At this time, Qin Liren's daughter, Qin Ran, chewed her gum nonchalantly and said, "Dad, do you think going to the banquet is a fight? Will it be useful if there are more people?"
Qin Liren looked at his daughter and said, "Shut up! Also, what are you wearing? Do you look like you're attending a party?"
Qin Ran looked down at herself and asked, "What's wrong with my outfit? Isn't it normal?"
Today, she wore a small black vest on the upper body and a pair of loose jeans on the lower body, a typical belly-baring outfit.
In addition, she wore a baseball cap on her head and two big silver earrings on her ears.
A very sweet and cool outfit.
Qin Liren wanted to criticize again.
At this time, his son Qin Jiaheng spoke nonchalantly: "Dad, why do you care about her? Does she live a normal life all year round?!"
Qin Ran wasn't one to tolerate criticism. She snorted coldly at her brother, "You, a second-generation rich kid, don't seem to have the right to criticize me, do you? Have you paid off your gambling debts from a while ago?"
Qin Liren's face darkened as he looked at Qin Jiaheng. "What gambling debt? Didn't you swear that you wouldn't gamble anymore?!"
Qin Jiaheng had been lazily leaning back in his chair, but upon hearing this, he sat up straight. "Dad, don't listen to Qin Ran's nonsense! She's wrongly accusing me!"
Qin Ran rolled her eyes speechlessly.
Qin Liren turned the tables and began to criticize his son: "Did I ever tell you to work hard and make progress? Look at Qin Xuan, he's now the general manager of the group. How can you compare to him?"
Qin Jiaheng said disdainfully, "What's so good about that dead wood Qin Xuan? Forget about anything else. I have a five-year-old son now, and he's still a bachelor. I'm afraid he's never even touched a girl's hand in his life."
Qin Ran sneered, "What's there to be proud of having a five-year-old son? You spend all your time drinking and partying, and you don't even know who his mother is..."
"Shut up!" Qin Liren suddenly warned.
Qin Ran shut up unconvinced.
Everyone's attention then shifted to Qin Jiaheng's five-year-old son.
This son's name is Qin Yi, and he is already in kindergarten.
Due to lack of discipline, he is a very naughty boy. His only advantage is probably that he is tall and fat, and his eyebrows and eyes are not too bad.
At this moment, Qin Yi was poking the car seat with his toy sword unscrupulously, and he probably didn't hear the conversation just now.
Qin Liren breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his grandson was unaffected. He then frowned at his daughter and warned her in a low voice, "Are you crazy? You don't even know what to say and what not to say."
After all, the fact that Qin Yi has no mother is likely to become a topic of conversation after dinner, with people saying that he is a bastard or something like that, which is quite unpleasant.
Since this is the case, their family members cannot mention these things in front of the children.
On weekdays, he only tells his children that his mother had an accident.
Qin Ran realized that she had said something wrong, turned her head to look out the window, and stopped talking.
Qin Liren finally brought the topic back on track: "Now that the third brother Qin Li'an's family is at the peak of their careers, we can't engage in infighting and let others take advantage of us for nothing."
Qin Jiaheng disagreed: "What's so good about their family? Only Qin Li'an and Qin Xuan can hold on for a while, the rest are nothing."
Qin Liren: "What about our family? There isn't a single successful one."
Qin Jiaheng said awkwardly, "Dad, look at what you said. Aren't you scolding yourself too?"
Qin Liren's face was gloomy. "Yeah, I'm also a nobody, so I let the third brother take over the position of chairman of the group for nothing."
Qin Jiaheng: "Then what should we do?"
Qin Liren gave the answer: "Wait."
Qin Jiaheng was puzzled; "Wait?"
Qin Liren narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, wait. We need to wait for a suitable opportunity to completely destroy the Third Brother's family. Before that, we must not alert the enemy, otherwise our efforts will be in vain."
…
The Qin family's old house.
Soon, Qin Liren and his group arrived.
Then all the Qin family members stood up and chatted together, like a close family.
Some guests who didn't know the truth were still sighing and saying that the Qin family had such good relationships.
Those who knew the inside story secretly sneered in their hearts.
What are you pretending for? The Qin family is really good at acting, right?
But they don't seem to have the right to say this to others. After all, as adults, who doesn't wear a few hypocritical masks?
Qin Moran naturally didn't understand the twists and turns between adults.
He learned to play checkers in the company of a group of young men and women.
Those young men and women all liked her very much. Whenever Qin Moran won a little bit, they would cheer exaggeratedly: "Mo Bao is so amazing! Our Mo Bao is such a smart baby!!"
Even if Qin Moran lost, it wouldn't matter, because they would come up with another excuse: "Ah, there's something wrong with the checkers?! Otherwise, why can't Mo Bao win!!!"
Qin Moran didn't quite understand the rules of checkers yet, so he played under the guidance of others.
But when he saw that everyone was having fun, he became happy too.
However, this scene was a bit glaring in the eyes of some people.
For example, Qin Yi, who is over five years old this year.
Qin Yi is usually doted on and can get whatever he wants. Moreover, he is tall and strong, and even in kindergarten he can be a bully, with a large group of followers following him around.
Even if someone disobeys him, he can use his fists to teach that person a lesson.
But at this moment, he was ignored.
They were both children of the Qin family, so why was Qin Moran surrounded by a group of people praising him, while he was the only one standing here?
Qin Yi was a little unhappy and kicked the vase on the wall to vent his anger.
The servant beside him quickly held the vase and said, "Master Qin Yi, you can't kick this."
Qin Yi was influenced by his grandfather and father's class ideology since he was a child, and now he is also arrogant: "You are just a servant in my family, what qualifications do you have to control me?"
The servant fell silent.
Qin Yi turned and looked at Qin Moran again, with anger in his eyes and his chest heaving.
At this time, a girl passed by with a toy.
This toy is very cute, it is a moving puppy robot.
Qin Yi was immediately interested when he saw the puppy robot, and said without hesitation: "I want this!!"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then apologized, "I'm sorry, little friend, this is something I gave to someone else."
With that, he took the puppy robot and left.
Qin Yi looked in the direction she left, and saw that the girl actually gave the puppy robot to Qin Moran.
Qin Yi's anger reached a new level, and he clenched his fists.
On this side, Qin Moran was very happy after getting the puppy robot.
This puppy robot is not big and can be held in two hands. It is covered with a layer of fluffy dog hair, has a pair of round eyes, and can bark, making it look very lifelike.
Qin Moran thanked the girl sweetly: "Thank you, sister!"
The girl touched his head and said, "You're welcome!"
Qin Moran was very happy after receiving this gift and wanted to show it to his mother, so he slid down from the sofa, said goodbye to everyone and went out.
Qin Moran walked out of the house and went outside to look for his mother.
His mother just said she wanted to come out for some fresh air.
Qin Moran stood on the steps, looking around at the crowd, trying to find Chen Ruolan.
Soon, he saw Chen Ruolan, who was talking to another lady.
Qin Moran smiled, picked up the puppy robot and walked down the stairs.
After he took a few steps, someone called him from behind.
"Qin Moran!"
Qin Moran looked back in confusion, and then saw a little boy he didn't recognize.
The boy looked older than him and much taller than him.
Qin Moran didn't know this person, but he still asked politely, "What's wrong?"
The other party said, "What's so great about you?"
Qin Moran was confused, thinking about the meaning of this sentence, but at this moment, the other party pushed him...
Qin Moran lost his balance and fell down the stairs.
Fortunately, there are only two or three steps, so the problem is not too big.
But Qin Moran was also stunned and felt a little pain from the fall.
Little Dumpling feels so wronged.
Why did this person suddenly push him for no reason?
Qin Moran's big, dark eyes instantly filled with tears. He sat up from the ground and stared at Qin Yi.
The incident happened suddenly and the adults around did not react.
But soon, Chen Ruolan ran over and hurriedly picked up Qin Moran: "Mobao, how are you? Are you okay?"
When Qin Moran saw his mother, he could no longer hold back his tears and they fell one by one.
The little dumpling's aggrieved expression was heartbreaking.
Chen Ruolan quickly hugged him in her arms and coaxed him: "It's okay, don't be afraid, Mobao, mommy is here."
At this time, more adults gathered around.
Qin Boxi arrived first and squatted down to check on Qin Moran's condition.
On the other side, Qin Lian and Qin Xuan were talking to someone. When they noticed the commotion here, they also walked over.
Qin Liren and Qin Jiaheng were laughing in their hearts when they saw Qin Moran being pushed down, but then they realized that it seemed to be their own Qin Yi who pushed him down, so they had to rush over.
The other guests were also looking over here, covertly and overtly.
Qin Liren arrived and took a look at the situation. He immediately said, "It's just children playing around. It's nothing serious."
After saying that, he looked at Qin Li'an again and said, "Third brother, someone is already in charge here. Why don't we continue to discuss the cooperation we just discussed?"
Qin Li'an did not express his opinion.
Qin Liren felt a little uneasy when he saw him like this.
Although he particularly disliked his half-brother, it was obvious that Qin Li'an was the head of the entire Qin family now, so he had to do it even if it meant just doing some superficial work.
On this side, Qin Boxi checked and found that Qin Moran was not seriously injured. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.
He usually smiled at people, but now his expression turned cold. "Qin Yi, why did you push someone?"
Before Qin Yi could say anything, his father Qin Jiaheng jumped in first: "From the tone of your voice, it seems that you have decided that my Xiaoyi is at fault?"
Qin Boxi continued, "The facts are before our eyes."
Qin Jiaheng said disdainfully, "Come on, what's the point of talking about facts? They're just two kids playing around. Is there any need to make such a big deal out of it?"
Qin Boxi didn't back down: "Your son pushed my brother down the stairs. Are you sure he was just playing around?"
Qin Jiaheng said nonchalantly, "You speak as if you saw my Xiaoyi push someone with your own eyes. You're an actor, maybe your brother learned a lot of acting skills from you?"
Compared to Qin Jiaheng's unreasonable and unreasonable arguments, Qin Boxi persuaded him with reason: "I won't engage in a meaningless verbal dispute with you. Just watch the surveillance video. There are so many surveillance cameras, it must be clearly recorded."
Qin Jiaheng's expression changed.
He knew how spoiled his son had become, and he also knew who was to blame for what happened today, so how could he agree to watch the surveillance video?
Qin Jiaheng was thinking about how to get away with this.
At this time, a person who was even more chaotic than him appeared.
That's Qin Ye.
Qin Ye was already furious about attending this lousy party tonight, and now when he heard that his brother was pushed down the stairs, he was ignited like a firecracker.
He was playing games, but when he heard about it, he rushed to the scene in a few steps.
At this moment, Qin Moran had stopped crying, but his eyelashes were still wet and there were tears in his eyes.
Qin Ye asked him, "Did Qin Yi push you?"
Qin Moran nodded.
Qin Ye instantly turned around and stared at Qin Yi, full of anger: "Apologize!"
Qin Yi is a child who has been spoiled since childhood. Besides, his grandfather and father are present at the moment, so he has someone to support him.
So he raised his head and said confidently: "I won't apologize, I'm not wrong!!"
Qin Ye's face was very gloomy; "Are you sure?"
Qin Yi insisted: "I am not wrong!!"
Qin Ye sneered and nodded: "Okay, you won't apologize, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed Qin Yi down the stairs.
This action was also beyond everyone's expectations.
No one reacted.
Qin Yi fell down, was stunned for a moment, and then screamed: "Ah ...
Qin Jiaheng ran over to help his son, staring at Qin Ye and said, "Qin Ye, you..."
Qin Ye was even more angry than him: "What about me? Do you want to fight?"
Qin Jiaheng was just a good-looking but useless young man. He had no ability to fight. He glared at Qin Ye for a long time but didn't dare to say he wanted to fight. He just helped his son up.
At this time, Qin Li'an, who had not said anything until now, finally spoke: "Okay, let's all go."
Once he opened his mouth, no one dared to disobey.
Qin Liren frowned and looked at him: "This, just now..."
It was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with the push his grandson had just received and wanted an explanation.
At this time, Qin Xuan said calmly: "Uncle, didn't you say you wanted to discuss cooperation? Don't talk about it anymore?"
How dare Qin Liren refuse to discuss cooperation? He doesn't have much real power in his hands now and can only rely on Qin Lian and Qin Xuan to make a living.
He didn't dare to say a word and could only follow Qin Li'an and his son into the house.
Before leaving, he glanced at his grandson who was still crying, and secretly kept this grudge in his heart.
A farce just passed like that.
In a quiet room.
Qin Moran was carried to sit on the sofa.
The family doctor checked it out, confirmed it was nothing serious, left me some ointment, and left.
Although Qin Moran had no serious injuries elsewhere on his body, he had slightly sprained his foot, which was a little red and swollen.
Chen Ruolan took the ointment, then carefully took off Qin Moran's shoes and socks, rolled up his trouser legs, and applied the ointment to him.
Qin Moran had stopped crying at first, but when the ointment touched his ankle, he felt a little pain and tears soon welled up in his eyes.
Qin Boxi and Qin Ye were also standing by.
When Qin Ye saw this scene, the fire in his heart was ignited again and he turned around to go out.
Chen Ruolan stopped him in time; "Where are you going?"
Qin Ye's tone was filled with anger: "I'll go and give Qin Yi a beating again."
Chen Ruolan advised: "Now that everything has passed, just bear with it."
Qin Ye said angrily: "Be patient, be patient, be patient. You always say be patient, but look at what the result is after you have been patient for so many years? This proves that your approach is wrong!!"
After hearing this, Chen Ruolan was speechless for a moment and could only continue to apply medicine to Qin Moran with her head down.
She knew that she must be extremely weak and vulnerable now.
In fact, she was not like this in her early years. She also had her own pride and things she wanted to accomplish. But since when, she became forbearing and silent, and had psychological problems. She was depressed and anxious, and it was difficult for her to have any ambition.
The room became unusually quiet and depressing.
At this time, Qin Boxi stepped forward to ease the atmosphere: "Xiao Ye, Mo Bao must be hungry after all this trouble. Go find him something to eat."
Qin Ye went out without saying a word.
After watching him leave, Qin Boxi came back to Chen Ruolan and said softly, "Auntie, Xiaoye definitely didn't mean to talk back to you. You know, he's always had a quick temper, and he often says one thing and means another."
Chen Ruolan forced a smile: "Bo Xi, thank you."
Qin Boxi looked at her for a moment and said, "Auntie, let me apply the medicine to Mo Bao. You go and have a rest."
Chen Ruolan was having a hard time maintaining her composure at the moment, so she whispered, "Okay."
Then he handed the medicine and cotton swab to Qin Boxi and went to the cubicle.
Only Qin Boxi and Qin Moran were left in the room.
Qin Boxi squatted in front of the sofa and carefully applied medicine to Qin Moran. He also asked Qin Moran with concern: "Mobao, does it still hurt?"
Qin Moran shook his head with tears in his eyes.
Qin Boxi said gently: "Even if Mo Bao says it hurts, Second Brother won't laugh at you."
Qin Moran nodded when he heard this; "It hurts a little."
His feet were originally white and tender, and were cute little feet, but now they were a little red and swollen, and they looked even more shocking after applying medicine.
Qin Boxi comforted him, "Then second brother, can you give Mo Bao a blow job?"
Qin Moran nodded.
Qin Boxi blew on his ankle.
Qin Moran only felt that his ankle became much cooler and didn't seem to hurt as much.
With tears in his eyes, he looked at Qin Boxi in surprise: "Second brother, do you know magic?"
Qin Boxi squatted on one knee on the ground and looked at him on the sofa: "Yes, Second Brother knows magic. Second Brother will help your foot get better quickly. By the way, don't tell anyone about this. This is a little secret between us."
After hearing this, Qin Moran felt better instantly and nodded solemnly.
Although his foot was injured, he knew the secret that his second brother could do magic, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
…
Qin Moran's injury wasn't serious, and he was expected to recover quickly. However, there was a noticeable aftereffect: he kept lifting his injured left foot.
After Qin Boxi finished applying the medicine to him, and even after Qin Ye and Chen Ruolan came back one after another, he was still lifting his feet.
Even though Qin Boxi was holding him, he held up his injured foot very seriously.
Chen Ruolan asked with concern: "What's wrong with Mobao? Is your foot still hurting?"
Qin Moran shook his head: "It doesn't hurt much."
Qin Ye also interjected: "Then why do you keep your feet lifted?"
Qin Moran was also a little confused: "I don't know either. It has to carry it by itself."
The little dumpling carrying his little feet is so cute.
Especially the chubby foot.
Qin Boxi hugged him and smiled: "This shows that our Mobao really cherishes his feet. If they are injured, we should take them seriously, right?"
Qin Moran nodded in agreement: "Yeah!"
Qin Ye couldn't help but say: "I can't believe you are so young and yet you cherish your life so much."
Qin Moran; “…”
Just because you are young, you can’t cherish your life?
He will cherish his life!
