Qin Yanran looked really haggard. Sitting together with Qin Yuanzhou, they looked like two charcoal heads.
It was in sharp contrast to the fair and tender Qin Yanyu opposite them.
Not to mention Mrs. Qin, both Liu Xiujuan and Qin Yuanshan couldn't bear it.
"Cousin, I know you are trying not to get caught, but we are your family members after all, and you are... going too far."
After talking for a while, Qin Yanran sighed quietly, "Sometimes you can't be too rigid, you have to be more flexible."
"Others can unblock it, but you can't. It's caused a lot of discord in our family."
"Isn't this just a joke?"
Her words went straight to Mrs. Qin's lungs.
Since her health failed, Old Mrs. Qin has asked for nothing. She just wants the Qin family to develop better, the Qin family to live in harmony, and to pass the Qin family on from generation to generation.
Now being reminded by Qin Yanran, she looked at Qin Yanyu's face and looked a little disapproving.
"Myanyu, your cousin is right when she says that you can't be too rigid in your life."
"Since I have someone to smooth the relationship, why don't you give it a try?"
"Your uncle is getting older. Who can bear to have him running around outside all day long?"
"We are all a family, do you really want him to serve in the community for half a year?"
Mrs. Qin persuaded her angrily, "This is enough punishment for what the father and daughter did."
"You are someone who wants to do big things. You are the president of the Qin family. You should be grand in your work."
"Stop fussing with them two, huh?"
If Mrs. Qin said something harsh, Qin Yanyu could still refute it.
But after the soft talk, it seemed a little unreasonable for her to persist.
"Mom, this is a court decision. How can Yanyu be accommodating?"
Liu Xiujuan couldn't help but interrupt.
Qin Yuanshan always kept silent about such household matters, for fear that the old lady would say that he did not want to see his eldest brother and his family well.
The couple was busy eating, while the other was thinking carefully and said, "The Qin family is very prosperous now. How many people are watching it."
"Besides, we have just been out of the limelight with the Food Safety Bureau, so it would not be appropriate for you to ask Yanyu to smooth things over right now... right?"
"If someone is caught, we'll cause trouble again."
I have to say that Liu Xiujuan can still speak human words at critical moments.
Old Mrs. Qin hesitated. The palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh, making it difficult to handle.
The dinner table fell silent for a while, and the sound of Chen Ming putting down his chopsticks was particularly harsh.
"There's something I haven't had the chance to talk about," Chen Ming raised his head and his eyes fell directly on Qin Peng's face.
"Fat Zhao specifically picked you to fight?"
"Tsk, didn't I say that he has no chance to hit his cousin..."
"Someone on the Internet saw you and Fatty Zhao fighting each other at the Yinlong Club."
Chen Ming interrupted Qin Peng's words and continued while the other party was stunned: "Some people said that before Qin was reported, they saw you and Fatty Zhao drinking together in Yinlong."
"Do you want to explain this matter?"
His tone was calm, and he rarely spoke for so long in the Qin family. Suddenly everyone's eyes turned to Qin Peng involuntarily.
Qin Yanran's heart skipped a beat.
She guessed that Qin Peng didn't do anything good.
If what was reported was really a joint effort between Qin Peng and Fatty Zhao, Old Mrs. Qin would definitely ignore them completely.
Similarly, Qin Yuanzhou also understood the meaning of Chen Ming's words and looked at Qin Peng with a look like an ice knife.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about."
Qin Peng stammered, "Fat Zhao is my friend, how about we have a meal together?"
"Besides, and we had a falling out because of my cousin!"
“A few internet pictures can’t explain anything!”
He suddenly felt confident when he thought that there was no surveillance in the private rooms of Yinlong Club, and the young ladies were not allowed to bring their mobile phones into the private rooms.
"Oh, I just asked casually, why are you nervous?"
Chen Ming shrugged, "Just asking out of curiosity."
Qin Peng almost spit out a mouthful of blood, and Qin Yuanzhou and Qin Yanran also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, let's just talk about useless things for the whole meal."
Mrs. Qin was upset and placed the bowls and chopsticks heavily on the table.
"Since Xiaopeng has nothing to do recently, Yanyu, please give him some of the company's projects."
"Qin's business is now big and expanding. It's really tiring for you to manage it alone."
“Instead of asking outsiders for help, it’s better to just use our own people.”
Old Mrs. Qin changed the topic and looked at Qin Yanyu, "We are a family business. We make money by being harmonious as a family. There is no need to keep being angry with your cousins."
"I won't force you to do community service. It's up to you. But you have to make room for Xiaopeng. You can't let people outside see our Qin family's jokes."
"Other things are in the past. There is no overnight feud between the family."
After talking a lot, Mrs. Qin mentioned "family" several times and looked at Qin Yanyu with a hint of warning.
Chen Ming gently curved his lips without interrupting.
Qin Yanyu was unwilling to accept it and wanted to oppose it.
"But what will the people below think when they see it..."
But as soon as she said the words, she was kicked hard by Liu Xiujuan under the table.
She was in pain, and the second half of her words was stuck in her throat. She couldn't say anything under the old lady's stern gaze.
When he was leaving, Liu Xiujuan pulled him into the room and scolded him.
"You are stupid. Your grandma made it clear that you should choose one of the two."
"Either help Qin Yuanzhou and Qin Yanran get through, or let Qin Peng go back to work in the company."
"If you don't agree to any of them, where do you want the old lady to put her face?"
Liu Xiujuan sighed, "After all, you still hold the majority of the company's shares. As long as you have the decision-making power, just close your eyes to the rest."
"It's better for Qin Peng to go back than to beg someone to provide a way for father and daughter to pass through, right?"
She poked Qin Yanyu's forehead hard twice and said, "Why can't you turn your head? Go back. I'll be annoyed when I see you."
"Hey, wait a minute, come have dinner with me on the weekend."
"Your Aunt Wang's son returns to China this week. You have time to show him around."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yanyu immediately cheered up and her eyes involuntarily glanced at Chen Ming.
"I'm talking to you, do you hear me? Look what that Sangmen Xing is doing!"
Liu Xiujuan lowered her voice, "I'm telling you, you can't just look at what's in front of you, you have to look for more."
"Mom has asked you. Xiao Wang is good in all aspects. He is a highly educated returnee from overseas. Many big companies are vying for him."
"I heard that the overseas Azure headquarters even sent him an offer!"
"Be careful, why are you hugging a tree and not letting go?"
Liu Xiujuan spoke so fast that Qin Yanyu had no chance to interrupt and was forced to agree.
Chen Ming stood at the door but didn't go in, staring at Qin Yuanshan.
Qin Yanyu was not in a good mood until she returned to the mountainside villa.
"Just go and eat if mom asks you to. I'm not that narrow-minded."
"As long as your heart is with me."
