Chapter 344: Chapter 344: The Matter of the Child (2)

Although they can no longer ally with the Su family, they can still turn to the Bai Family, which is no less prominent than the Su family. Moreover, Bai Qing of the Bai Family is still unmarried and is not far inferior to Su Yanmo!

But just thinking of Bai Qing, Qin Ying couldn’t help but recall that detestable woman, Ling Tianyue. That woman didn’t seem to realize her own disreputable reputation and actually fancied competing with her for a man, which was nothing but a delusional fantasy!

"Enough, Qin Ying, a junior like you should not speak recklessly!" Qin Zhenyi interrupted the younger generation’s bickering with a cold voice, but this seemed to be a futile attempt to conceal his eagerness.

Qin Zhenren and Qin Zhenli both subtly changed their expressions and looked at Qin Zhenyi with increasing hostility. In the eyes of these two brothers, Qin Zhenyi was clearly in league with the Su family. Therefore, they needed to be even more cautious. Despite this, the two self-serving brothers had no intention of cooperating with each other. They simply couldn’t trust the other, and nobody wanted to find an ally in their own ranks who could betray them at any moment—a fate far worse than facing a formidable enemy!

With a touch of unwillingness, Qin Ying closed her mouth. Although the families were in conflict, as a junior, it was not her place to rebut at this time.

"My daughter isn’t spouting nonsense. If some people have done something, they shouldn’t be afraid to talk about it," Qin Zhenli immediately retorted sarcastically after seeing his daughter reprimanded.

Qin Zhenyi’s face darkened, yet he said nothing, leaving others to wonder if this amounted to a tacit admission.

In reality, all of the Qin brothers were calculating individuals, but each had their own flaws. For example, Qin Zhenyi’s rigidity and self-righteousness often led to their downfall.

Qin Zhenyi did indeed want to cooperate with Qin Jiran and Su Yanyi. He needed capital for an acquisition plan he had discussed with two shareholders, but the issue was money. He needed approximately five billion, and even after scrapping together everything he could, he had less than three billion. The remaining two billion made him think of the Su family, but unfortunately, things ended on a sour note.

However, lacking the funds, Qin Zhenyi thought of another method—raising capital under the guise of collaborating with the Su family. That was why he intentionally let others misunderstand that he was in cahoots with them. As long as he could raise those two billion, he’d be able to buy out the shares of the two minor shareholders and, together with two other partners, would surpass Qin Zhenren’s shares, becoming the new chairman of Qin’s.

At this point in Qin Zhenyi’s heart, it was all about power, nothing but power!

And so, the Qin family’s New Year’s Eve passed in a climate of mutual scheming, devoid of any affection or warmth, cold as though a group of strangers were gathered together. No, it was even worse than strangers coming together.

Meanwhile, the Wang Family was faring even worse than the Qin family. Although not at the point of complete ruin, they were nevertheless in a dismal state of separation and despair.

Wang Pinde and Wang Zhirou had been sentenced to prison and were already serving time, with proceedings moving so swiftly that it surprised many. Wang Zhilin was now held in a detention center; despite several visits from lawyers, no one had managed to bail her out. In jail, Wang Zhilin was tormented until she became a shadow of her former self, kneeling on the ground like a dog, never with enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, unable to sleep peacefully as she could be tortured by two other inmates at any moment. She appeared utterly haggard and aged, looking to be in her fifties at a glance, with none of the demeanor that once marked her as a rich lady.

Since Wang Zhilin’s imprisonment, the two men who once hovered around her had not once come to see her, increasing her anxiety. Fortunately, her lawyer was still working on her behalf, and things seemed to be progressing according to her plans.
