Chapter 146: Chapter 146 Intimate Comfort (2)

"Su family girl, what do you mean by that, do you intend to cling to him and prevent him from returning to his ancestral roots?" Old Master Qin’s face was stern as he spoke in an accusatory tone, looking at Su Yanyi as if he were looking at an ignorant child.

Although Old Master Qin was his elder both by age and blood relations, and he should respect his superiors, Qin Jiran became angry when he heard Old Master Qin speaking to Su Yanyi in an accusatory tone!

"Old Mr. Qin, you are well aware of your own motives, don’t take everyone else for fools. I now treat you as a stranger, so please don’t look for trouble without reason and make unnecessary enemies!" Qin Jiran stepped forward, standing in front of Su Yanyi with his intent to protect her quite obvious!

Qin Jiran couldn’t tolerate Su Yanyi being condemned because of him, so he no longer held back in the way he spoke. Since Old Master Qin wanted to scheme against him, he would have to bear the consequences of his scheming!

For the first time, Qin Jiran felt a desire for revenge against the Qin family. He clearly wanted nothing and had done nothing, yet why did the Qin family keep coming to insult and scheme against him time after time, what did they really consider him!

"Insolent! Is this how you speak to your elders, do you truly lack manners, or has the Su family given you such confidence!" Old Master Qin’s face turned red with anger, struggling to sit up after being provoked by Qin Jiran’s words.

"Old Master, please calm down, Mr. Qin merely misunderstood you, please don’t get upset, and remember to take care of your health," Zhang Yuanzhuo immediately stepped forward to steady the old man, his words laden with implication.

Misunderstanding? What counts as a misunderstanding? Qin Jiran certainly didn’t think he misunderstood anything! It was clear that the old man had no good intentions in seeking him out!

"I certainly do not think this is a misunderstanding. As the saying goes, ’Cao Cao’s intentions are known to all.’ Old Master Qin, having us over, it’s obvious it won’t be for something good. Inheritance? You want to give Jiran a bit of inheritance, then have the members of the Qin family set their sights on him, don’t you? Not only will Jiran not harbor any resentment against you, he will even thank you for the inheritance, and even become the target of everyone’s schemes, helping you quell the Qin family’s internal strife. Old Master, do you really think we are fools?"

Su Yanyi directly voiced her accusations, blatantly slapping Old Master Qin in the face with her words. But if someone could brazenly scheme like this, why would she hesitate to call it out?

Old Master Qin’s originally pale face flushed with a mix of anger and embarrassment at Su Yanyi’s words. As people age, they become concerned about saving face, and having his motives so bluntly exposed made Old Master Qin look at Su Yanyi with animosity, as if she were an enemy.

In his view, the reason Qin Jiran became a concern to him was all because of Su Yanyi. Otherwise, how could Qin Jiran, the illegitimate son, have the guts to defy him!

"Humph, I think it is clear to everyone that ’Cao Cao’s intentions’ are with you two. You and he were married three years ago, yet kept it a secret until recently when you went public with the relationship. By that time I was already seriously ill. The reason why you went public with the news is self-evident. Qin Jiran, as a member of the Qin family, are you really willing to collude with outsiders to plot against your own kin!" Old Master Qin leaned on Zhang Yuanzhuo’s arm as he sat up with great effort, speaking these words breathlessly, portraying a very vivid image of his illness after his speech.

Everyone knew of Elder Qin’s illness, but exactly how severe it was and how long he could hold on was not something outsiders would know. Seeing the old man like this, Su Yanyi could not help but think of the phrase: "Judging others by one’s own standard of conduct."
