CHAPTER 55: CHAPTER 55: TAKE THE MONEY AND GET LOST

The entire Qin Family’s backyard was as quiet as death.

All eyes were focused on Qin Tai, waiting for him to make the final decision.

Seated on the Taishi Chair, Qin Tai bowed his head; the sharpness in his eyes had completely vanished, replaced by exhaustion and helplessness.

He had devoted his entire life to expanding and strengthening Qin Real Estate.

He had believed that Qin Real Estate would continue to be passed down, from one generation, to three, to five...

But reality was always so cruel. Forget about ten generations; the current one was already collapsing.

"Grandpa, it’s all right," Youling suddenly spoke up beside Qin Tai.

"Haven’t I told you before? I don’t really want to inherit the family business."

"If the fourth uncle wants it, let it be his."

Youling’s hand gently rested on Qin Tai’s shoulder.

In her eyes, her grandfather mattered more.

"From now on, you follow me. I’ve opened a few bars after all; taking care of you will definitely not be a problem," Youling said with a smile on her face.

Qin Tai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a bitter smile.

Perhaps he was too obsessed, always feeling he owed Youling, always trying to give her the best.

He had forgotten that Youling had never liked Qin Real Estate, even loathed it.

Because even now, Youling’s mother’s memorial tablet had never been brought into the Qin Family shrine.

"Then... you make the decision," Qin Tai finally nodded.

He actually had ways to counter, but it seemed there was no longer much point.

Even if he used those methods, Qin Real Estate would still be destined to collapse.

"Fourth uncle, I have two conditions," Youling looked at Qin Shengpeng.

Qin Shengpeng wore the smile of a victor. "Speak."

"First, Grandpa and I will leave Qin Family, and from then on, we will have nothing to do with each other."

"Agreed," Qin Shengpeng did not hesitate.

With Youling and the old man out of the way, the future of Qin Family would be completely under his control; he had never thought about completely annihilating them.

He wasn’t like his second brother, who was truly ruthless—how could he treat his own father like that?

"Second, give him a billion," Youling extended her hand, pointing toward Lu Xiao in the crowd.

Everyone was taken aback.

Qin Shengpeng’s brow furrowed slightly—giving Lu Xiao a billion? What was this kid worth?

"If Fourth Uncle agrees, we can leave the old house today," Youling added.

Qin Shengpeng took a deep breath. It was just a billion!

"Fine, I agree," Qin Shengpeng answered, then without delay, walked straight up to Lu Xiao.

"Account number; I’ll transfer the money," Qin Shengpeng said coldly.

I can give the money, but whether or not Lu Xiao could hold onto it remained to be seen.

Lu Xiao didn’t even bother with Qin Shengpeng; instead, he grinned at Youling. "Youling, my condition remains the same; why don’t you reconsider?"

Youling opened her mouth—what did Lu Xiao mean?

We’re at this point, and you still think you can turn things around?

Even Grandpa can’t fix it now.

"Little Ling, what is Lu Xiao talking about?" Qin Tai also asked curiously.

"He previously said he could help me win Qin Real Estate and Qin Department Store and such. Don’t listen to his nonsense," Youling said with a sneer.

Qin Real Estate and Qin Department Store are not something you can just snatch by saying so.

What a delusion.

With the market value of the two companies, even a single percent of the shares would need over ten billion in capital to move.

If Lu Xiao really had that much money, would he still be obsessed with earning this billion from me?

People from the Qin Family at the scene also burst into laughter.

This Lu Xiao really had no shame, boasting about anything and everything.

To take over Qin Real Estate and Qin Department Store— who do you think you are? Who do you think the Qin Family is?

No one in Hai City would dare to make such a bold claim, even the big shots of the business world here need to band together.

At the moment, Qin Tai was also staring at Lu Xiao, but his eyes held no trace of mockery.

Lu Xiao was no simple man; perhaps, he did have some way.

"Youling, what’s Lu Xiao’s condition?" Qin Tai asked.

If Lu Xiao’s condition was acceptable, he might agree to it and see what tricks the kid could pull off.

"He... he intends to take advantage of me," after a few seconds, Youling muttered very softly, head lowered.

Others might not have heard it, but Qin Tai was right beside her, and he clearly did.

Take advantage of her? Qin Tai instinctively thought Lu Xiao wanted Youling to sleep with him.

Rage stemmed suddenly from his heart, evil rising to the edge.

This damn kid was indeed no good.

"Take your money and get lost. And tomorrow, you and Youling are getting a divorce," Qin Tai bellowed with a blazing glare.

You think you can dishonor my granddaughter? No way!

Even Lu Xiao couldn’t help but roll his eyes, swapping one touch for the entire Qin Real Estate, and this is still not worth it? If not, then forget it!

About the divorce, fine, let’s get divorced. Anyway, I already got the information from the jade pendant Youling wears.

I’ll just go on and woo Chen Fei instead, focus on her for a bit.

"Kid, it’s okay to show off, but don’t take it too far, okay?"

"Claiming you’ll take over Qin Department Store and Qin Real Estate, saying that only makes you look foolish."

"Alright, give me your bank account number, take the money, and then you can get lost," Qin Shengpeng said with a disdainful look and tone.
