CHAPTER 53: CHAPTER 53: STRUGGLE IS MEANINGLESS

Qin Shengbin and Qin Shengpeng’s faces were extremely unsightly at this moment.

"What do you mean by ’what are we even eating for’?"

"Are you trying to pin this shit bowl on our heads again?"

"When you were comatose and the second brother died, do you have any idea how many jackals and tigers were lured to Qin Real Estate and Qin Department Store?"

"Although we seized the opportunity to snatch some shares, in the end, wasn’t it all for the Qin Family?"

"No matter who grabs more shares, we’re still all surnamed Qin in the end."

"If someone else entirely pried everything away, that would be the real disaster."

"Without Qin Real Estate and Qin Department Store, the Qin Family would be like a tiger without its claws and teeth."

"What, not convinced?" Qin Tai saw the expressions on his sons’ faces and grew even angrier.

"No, whatever you say is right," Qin Shengbin replied with an unconcealed irritation.

He hadn’t done anything wrong but was scolded nonetheless. Anyone in his place would be pissed off.

At the same time, Qin Shengbin began to understand a little why his second brother would do something like patricide.

Their so-called father really wasn’t worth shit.

You scold your sons, we get it, but you can’t always treat one with high regard and stomp on the others.

Toward the eldest brother, you were satisfied with everything and liked everything he did. Even when the eldest brother made a mistake, you would say ’try again’.

With us, it’s always disdainful looks and cold words, always.

It was like this when the big brother was alive, and now that he’s dead, you’ve transferred this favoritism to Qin Youling.

Do you not know what Qin Youling is capable of?

She’s clever, yes, but when it comes to playing schemes, can she really handle it?

Hearing Qin Shengbin talk back, a cold gleam flashed in Qin Tai’s eyes.

Heh, they’re so full of themselves now, daring to talk back to me.

But Qin Tai did not say much. Instead, he turned to look at Qin Shengpeng, "Fourth, do you have anything to say?"

Qin Shengpeng kept his head low, his fists gradually clenching tighter.

He knew what the old man meant and understood why the old man had summoned the entire Qin Family today.

The old bastard was planning to hand over the Qin Family to Qin Youling.

"Shengpeng, I’m asking you something, can’t you hear?" Seeing Qin Shengpeng remain silent, Qin Tai asked again with an even heavier tone and a more piercing gaze.

"If Father insists on handing over the Qin Family to Youling, I have nothing to say," Qin Shengpeng suddenly raised his head to look at Qin Tai.

On the side, Qin Shengbin was stunned for two seconds, then became agitated, "Damn, Fourth, are you really giving up just like that?"

Qin Tai was also surprised. He knew his youngest son well; he was inscrutable and quite ambitious.

He had thought Qin Shengbin would be vehemently opposed, but instead, he said he had nothing to say.

"Since that’s the case..."

"But from today onwards, I, Qin Shengpeng, am disengaging myself from the Qin Family and will no longer have any affiliation," Qin Tai was about to make his announcement when Qin Shengpeng suddenly shouted.

What?! Disengaging from the Qin Family?

Qin Tai’s brows furrowed deeply, clearly not expecting Qin Shengbin to take this step.

"Since Father doesn’t care about the life or death of the Qin Family, then it might as well be disbanded," Qin Shengpeng made his stance clear—if the position of Family Head went to Qin Youling, he would break away.

"Third brother, what do you think?" Qin Shengpeng then looked toward Qin Shengbin.

Qin Shengbin pursed his lips, his eyes regaining their light.

The fourth really had sneaky tricks up his sleeve; this plan was quite good.

The old bastard favors Qin Youling, then let’s dismantle the Qin Family.

We’ve already got control over a fair share of the Qin Family’s various assets. Once split, the whole Qin Family would instantly crumble, which is effectively checkmating the old bastard.

"I also..."

"You also what, you—shut your mouth," Qin Shengbin was just about to agree when his mouth was covered by a hand.

Everyone present was puzzled as they looked at Qin Kai standing behind Qin Shengbin.

What on earth was this kid Qin Kai up to?

"You brat... what are you... let go..." Qin Shengbin struggled against Qin Kai’s hand, but he couldn’t pry it off no matter how hard he tried.

"Uncle Four, my dad might indeed be too straightforward, but you can’t always take advantage of honest people," Qin Kai said.

"Whether you want to disengage from the Qin Family is your business."

"As for me and my dad, we will always bear the surname Qin," Qin Kai said to Qin Shengpeng cheerfully.

Qin Shengpeng’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Qin Kai, almost as if he were seeing this nephew for the first time.

On the Taishi Chair, Qin Tai looked at Qin Kai strangely as well.

Wasn’t this kid Qin Kai always impulsive and troublesome, making things difficult for Youling? Why the sudden change of heart?

As for Qin Kai, his gaze occasionally swept over to Lu Xiao amid the crowd.

What’s the point of all your squabbling, don’t you know? Qin Real Estate and Qin Department Store are about to fall right into Lu Xiao’s pocket.

Lu Xiao provided a full one hundred billion in funds, and Xu Baiye’s business maneuvers... I can only call them damn impressive upon seeing them.

No wonder Xu Baiye caught the eye of White Clothes Pavilion; the guy truly has talent.

In just one day, Xu Baiye spent almost eighty billion, frenziedly levering and swapping the shares of Qin Department Store and Qin Real Estate.

You can’t even imagine, Xu Baiye actually maintained a specialized stock market operation team as well.

The team is made up of ninety-nine people, each one an elite.

According to Xu Baiye, the team’s annual salary and bonuses alone amount to a staggering five billion.

Ninety-nine people, five billion—that’s an average of five million per person per year, can you imagine?

So just accept being dominated by Lu Xiao meekly. It’s pointless to struggle now.
