Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Intimate Comfort (1)

Why did Old Master Qin specifically seek out Qin Jiran? There was naturally a reason for this!

If Qin Jiran were just an entertainer in the entertainment industry, even if he were a Best Actor Level, he still wouldn’t catch Old Master Qin’s eye. In their eyes, an entertainer was just an entertainer and wouldn’t stand a chance at destabilizing the position of the Qin Corporation.

But now, Qin Jiran wasn’t just a simple entertainer; he was also the husband of the Su family’s Little Princess, Su Yanyi. This made Old Master Qin have to take him seriously—of course, what Old Master Qin valued the most was the attitude of the Su family!

If the Su family didn’t care much about Qin Jiran, then even if he were dead, Old Master Qin wouldn’t feel the need to see him. Being an illegitimate child, in his view, he didn’t qualify to inherit anything, not even a single piece of the inheritance!

However, the Su family valued Qin Jiran, which he could tell from the extensive media coverage and could deduce from the attitude of the Qin family members. So, he couldn’t help but have reservations!

What if Qin Jiran wanted to use the Su family’s power to go against the Qin family? What if Qin Jiran, unwilling to be cast aside, aspired to seize the Qin family’s wealth?

Lying on the sickbed, what Old Master Qin thought about the most was the Qin family’s business. He had three sons, as well as grandsons and granddaughters—how should the Qin family’s inheritance be divided? He had considered this issue many times before, and the will had been altered time and again. Though none were entirely satisfying, they were just about enough to give him peace of mind. But at this crucial moment, the emergence of Qin Jiran, supported by the Su Family members, left him no choice but to overthink!

Old Master Qin even ventured into conspiracy theories, suspecting that the Su family stood by Qin Jiran at this time to seize the Qin family’s wealth in Jiran’s name. Why else had they shown no significant movements for three years of marriage, only to announce their relationship when he was severely ill in bed? If there wasn’t a conspiracy involved, then it was too much of a coincidence!

Therefore, Old Master Qin wanted to meet Qin Jiran and had even thought of several strategies to deal with him, one of which was to yield strategically. Ostensibly granting Jiran a share of the wealth so he’d have no grounds to claim more, inherently carried a sense of condescending charity. It also served to tell Qin Jiran that since he was already given a portion, he should not dream of obtaining more—that just wasn’t meant for him!

Besides this point, Elder Qin also held another thought. The Qin family was in disarray, the descendants vying for the inheritance, each fighting their own battles. But if they had a common enemy, it was highly possible that the internal strife would cease, and they would unify against the outsider—that is, the summoned Qin Jiran and Su Yanyi. With the two as a collective target for Qin family members, internal fighting could be mitigated.

Elder Qin was indeed exhausting himself in his consideration for the Qin family. To avoid establishing a formidable enemy like the Su family, he even welcomed his most disregarded illegitimate child with a smile, truly a painstaking effort.

Old Master Qin’s painstaking care was something Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran would naturally not be able to fully guess, but with their intelligence, it was extremely easy for them to grasp the gist. Especially for Su Yanyi, who genuinely felt indignant on behalf of Qin Jiran and was thinking about seizing the Su family’s wealth; analyzing it in her way of thinking, if Qin Jiran truly appreciated the gesture and harbored no resentment against the Qin family, then he would no longer covet the rest of the Qin family’s wealth, and the Su family wouldn’t be able to use Qin Jiran’s name to justify any actions.

"The old master is quite the schemer," Su Yanyi said, not hiding her sarcastic tone.
