————————————————————

Although Mr. Ma kept talking about leaving, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he and Xiao Yi stood quietly to one side, coldly observing the three members of the Qian Family, watching how Qian Fuyu would deal with Qian Xiaojie and Qian Xiaofeng.

After all, he was no ordinary man. To reach his level, one’s mind and vision were not something ordinary people could compare with. Even though he had almost exploded in rage because of the arrogance of the two young upstarts, Qian Xiaojie and Qian Xiaofeng, he had not entirely lost his reason.

If Qian Fuyu handled the situation properly and could give him a satisfactory resolution, he would not actually punish the Qian Family severely just because of the arrogance of those two boys. He was still willing to give the Qian Family a chance.

"Xiaojie, you’ve greatly disappointed your uncle,"

Looking at Qian Xiaojie, who was pale and weak in the knees, upon hearing him call himself "Sixth Uncle," Qian Fuyu for the first time did not respond directly but looked at him with infinitely cold eyes.

His anger was now genuine, and his disappointment was real.

Even when he first learned that they had caused trouble, he was not as enraged as he was at this moment.

That time, he thought that, after all, Qian Xiaojie was still a child, and it was normal for him to be moved by a pretty girl, especially since he did not know beforehand that she was a girl from the Zhang Family.

But now, having just caused one disaster, not only did he fail to restrain himself or keep a low profile, but he also quickly caused a second mishap, offending Mr. Ma, the Qian Family’s great benefactor, as well as Xiao Yi, the current hope of Qian Fucheng.

He simply could not forgive him!

He did not know how the two brothers had offended Mr. Ma and Xiao Yi, but from the reactions and words of Mr. Ma and Xiao Yi, he could be sure that this time, they had truly offended them terribly, and moreover, they had repeated their old fault!

Unrivaled arrogance, haughty and conceited!

Qian Xiaojie was no longer a child; he was already in his twenties and had come of age. At his age, his father was already caught in fierce struggles, fighting desperately for survival.

Yet he was so thoughtless, having just caused such a major disaster that almost halved the entire Qian Family, and at a time when even he, Qian Fuyu, and his brother Qian Fucheng, were beginning to act cautiously, yet he was still so ignorant and conceited.

How could he forgive him?

"Sixth Uncle..."

Although Qian Fuyu did not lose his temper and his tone was very calm, for some reason, Qian Xiaojie felt a shiver in his heart and experienced a fear he had never felt in his life.

Next to him, Qian Xiaofeng was the same as Qian Xiaojie, his legs trembling while his eyes looked at Qian Fuyu with boundless panic.

"From today on, you, Qian Xiaojie, Qian Xiaofeng, have nothing to do with me, Qian Fuyu, and nothing to do with our D city Qian Family,"

Qian Fuyu said indifferently, without paying any attention to their fearful and panicked gazes.

After he finished speaking, he did not look again at the Qian brothers who were frozen in place upon hearing his words. Instead, he turned his head and respectfully bowed to Mr. Ma and Xiao Yi, "Big Brother Ma, my brothers of the Qian Family are incompetent and have failed in our upbringing, causing offense. I apologize to you here and hope you can give us a chance."

Mr. Ma looked at Qian Fuyu and saw a flash of pain in the corners of his eyes. His face fell silent, and after a while, he said, "Actually, the Qian Family is better off without such unfilial offspring. It could even be a blessing in disguise."

"Thank you, Big Brother Ma."

Knowing that Mr. Ma had forgiven him with those words, Qian Fuyu nodded with gratitude.

"Mr. Xiao, let’s go and see Brother Fuchen," he suggested.

Mr. Ma nodded without saying anything else and turned his head to look at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi glanced at Qian Xiaojie and Qian Xiaofeng who seemed to still be in a daze and had not snapped back to reality. Then he looked at Qian Fuyu with a sigh in his eyes, nodded at Mr. Ma, and walked side by side with him back to Qian Fuchen’s hospital room.

Seeing Xiao Yi also heading back to the elder brother’s hospital room, a grateful expression appeared on Qian Fuyu’s face. He followed closely behind the two men toward the hospital room.

"Sixth Uncle, you can’t do this!!"

As the three were about to leave, Qian Xiaojie and Qian Xiaofeng, who had been as if in a dream after hearing Qian Fuyu’s words, finally came to their senses. Qian Xiaojie rushed forward, grabbed his leg, and began to plead, "Sixth Uncle, give me another chance! I know I was wrong!"

"Do you really know what you did wrong?"

Qian Fuyu stopped, looked at Qian Xiaojie with a fleeting look of pity in his eyes, but it was only for a moment before he regained his composure.

"Sixth Uncle, I really understand now. I shouldn’t have offended that Mr. Ma..." Qian Xiaojie held onto Qian Fuyu’s leg desperately as if clinging to a lifeline.

"Xiaojie, I have given you too many chances already. You’ve truly disappointed me."

Hearing Qian Xiaojie’s words, Mr. Ma and Xiao Yi, who were ahead, almost simultaneously shook their heads. Mr. Ma’s brows furrowed deeply, and an expression of utter disappointment flashed across Qian Fuyu’s face. The glimmer of hope that had arisen in his eyes was thoroughly extinguished. In that moment, he had completely given up on Qian Xiaojie.

Having said that, he shook off Qian Xiaojie’s hands from his leg and walked on.

"Sixth Uncle, you can’t do this! I won’t accept it! You have no right to kick me out of the Qian Family! I know my father doesn’t have much longer to live! After you drive me out, you’ll be able to smoothly take over the Qian Family!"

As he watched Qian Fuyu’s retreating figure, Qian Xiaojie’s eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and he almost subconsciously started to shout frantically.

Hearing Qian Xiaojie’s shouts, Qian Fuyu’s body stiffened momentarily, his face showing an incredulous look. He slowly turned his head to look at Qian Xiaojie, whose bloodshot eyes seemed to be on the verge of madness, and suddenly, he felt that the face he had always found so dear and handsome was now utterly foreign to him.

Was this the nephew he had doted on to the bone from childhood, treating him as if he were his own son?

The nephew whom he had always spoiled and indulged, the one for whom he had taken on the consequences of every trouble, and even recently, had been single-mindedly planning to help ascend to a position of power?

Mr. Ma also turned around, his gaze coldly falling on Qian Xiaojie. In his intense and dark eyes, a faint killing intent emerged. (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
