Chapter 707 -707: I’m Going to Shut the Door and Beat the Dog!

Qin Yuan remained silent, his face contemplative.

Madam Qin scoffed, her voice filled with thick disdain, “If the little bastard isn’t interested in the Qin Family, why did he come to see your grandfather? Truly the offspring of a mistress, just as scheming as that cheap woman. On the surface, he wants nothing, but behind the scenes, he wants too much.”

Her resentment grew as she spoke, “If it hadn’t been for that cheap woman Lu Wan seducing your grandfather, your grandmother wouldn’t have been so heartbroken and left us early. Now your grandfather, for the sake of that little bastard, keeps breaking my heart over and over.”

Madam Qin’s memories of her childhood were somewhat fuzzy, but she was certain that it was Lu Wan’s fault.

Otherwise, why would her father have had an affair? There would be no issues with Lu Shiran now.

Qin Yuan was not interested in the old generation’s love and hatred; what he was more concerned about now was what Lu Shiran wanted to do by visiting his grandfather.

He asked his subordinate, “How long did they stay in the hospital room?”

The subordinate spoke with sincere trepidation, “According to the surrounding surveillance, about half an hour.”

Qin Yuan murmured softly, “Half an hour…”

At that time, Grandfather should have still been in the midst of an attack.

“What do you think he means by this?”

Madam Qin grew anxious again, “Could it be that he knows what you did to your grandfather, and now he’s using that to threaten you?”

Qin Yuan looked thoughtful, recalling the previous visits to Lu Shiran, his clueless demeanor, which seemed to bear no threat at all, evidently just a typical bookworm.

Could such a person have such deep schemes?

Qiao Yun appeared sharper than Lu Shiran.

Or could it be, Lu Shiran’s actions in front of grandfather are all an act?

A cold light flashed in Qin Yuan’s eyes, “If that’s true, I’m afraid he cannot be left around.”

He hadn’t dealt with Lu Shiran yet, considering the possibility of complicating matters further.

Lu Shiran’s actions now made him harbor a trace of doubt.

“He cannot stay.”

Madam Qin blamed all the hardships Qin Xuan had suffered on Lu Shiran; she resented the entire Lu Family and Lu Shiran.

It was because of Lu Shiran’s appearance that she struggled between her son and daughter, forcing her to abandon her daughter.

And then there was Qiao Yun, if she hadn’t competed with Qin Xuan for Li Hanzhou, Qin Xuan wouldn’t have been so extreme in his actions.

That’s right, it was like this, she was not wrong, the ones at fault were Lu Shiran and Qiao Yun.

As Madam Qin thought this way, the guilt in her heart suddenly lightened.

She continued, “Could his purpose be the same as ours, all for the will?”

She suspected that Lu Shiran’s visit to the old man was to manipulate him into making a will; luckily, the old man was not lucid now, otherwise wouldn’t it just benefit Lu Shiran?

“No, I must find him and ask clearly!”

If Madam Qin couldn’t clear this up, she probably wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.

Qin Yuan scoffed, “If Lu Shiran is really as scheming as you say, what could you possibly find out even if you ask?”

Madam Qin’s face twisted, “Then what do we do now?”

Qin Yuan remained calm, “We have to see what he really wants to do, whether he is truly ignorant or feigning ignorance.”

Madam Qin grew dissatisfied, “I just don’t understand, how can you and the old man be so cautious towards such a trivial Lu Family.”

“You don’t understand,” Qin Yuan didn’t explain too much to his mother.

The Lu Family indeed wasn’t anything special.

But the attitudes of the Li Family and Pei Yao towards the Lu Family were indeed intriguing.

Ever since the Lu Group faced a crisis, these two have spoken up for the Lu Family, and Qin Yuan sensed something was amiss.

Without full control in his hands yet, he didn’t want to offend these two people.

Qin Yuan said nothing; instead, Lady Qin found it even stranger. She narrowed her eyes and speculated, “The old man doesn’t want to openly move against the Lu Family because he’s considering Lu Shiran, are you perhaps considering Qiao Yun?”

She hadn’t forgotten that Qin Yuan had once told her he was interested in Qiao Yun.

Lady Qin’s expression slightly changed, “You haven’t really fallen for her, have you?”

When Qiao Yun was mentioned, Qin Yuan said meaningfully, “I have taken a liking to her.”

Qiao Yun seemed very obedient, but she was quite fierce at heart, not easy to bully at all.

However, it was this tenacity in Qiao Yun that interested Qin Yuan.

To say he genuinely liked her would be going too far.

His feelings for Qiao Yun were more like those for a wild pet he wanted to keep by his side just for fun.

He hadn’t done anything to Qiao Yun now only because he cared more about the matters of the Qin Family.

However, upon hearing Qin Yuan’s words, Lady Qin truly believed Qin Yuan was utterly enchanted by Qiao Yun.

She displeasedly said, “Ayuan, you can marry anyone, but not Qiao Yun. I will not approve of this marriage. You’re not unaware that she is just a seductress, leading both Master Li and Director Pei astray.”

“Humph, the Lu Family acts noble, but in secret, they use their own daughter to seek benefits from those major families.”

“It’s too early to discuss this now,” Qin Yuan was reluctant to discuss Qiao Yun.

A pet is naturally something only he could play with; even his mother should not interfere too much.

Lady Qin’s face turned ugly.

Are all the women from the Lu Family seductresses? One snatched away her father, another is snatching away her son.

If Qin Yuan really dared to marry Qiao Yun, she felt she would stop it; she would not let Qiao Yun enter the Qin Family’s door!

Lady Qin harshly maligned her in her heart.

Unsuitable in social status, and furthermore a Lu Family member, worthy of being her daughter-in-law?

She figured even a dog wouldn’t want her.

…

At home, Qiao Yun suddenly felt her nose itch. She rubbed her nose and then fell into thought.

Seeing this, Lu Zhanxing smiled and said, “Sister, what are you thinking about, looking so serious?”

Qiao Yun looked up and said, “My nose itched.”

“Maybe you’re catching a cold.” Lu Zhanxing raised his hand to touch Qiao Yun’s head, checking her temperature, “You’re not hot though.”

“I’m not catching a cold.” Qiao Yun said seriously, “Someone is speaking ill of me.”

Lu Zhanxing, “Huh?”

Qiao Yun explained, “My nose itched, and I felt like sneezing. It means someone is speaking ill of me.”

Lu Zhanxing laughed, “That has no scientific basis and can’t be believed. Besides, my sister is so adorable, who would dare speak ill of you? If they do, big brother will handle it.”

“Oh, really?” Qiao Yun rubbed her nose again, then told Lu Zhanxing, “By the way, Zhouzhou is coming tomorrow.”

Lu Zhanxing blurted out, “What? Why is that thing coming here?”

Su Mian, coming down from upstairs, overheard this, and scolded, “How can you talk like that? Have some manners. Who are you calling a dog?”

Lu Zhanxing scoffed, “Whoever comes to our house tomorrow is a dog.”

“Tomorrow… it’s not Master Li coming.” Su Mian realized, and directly grabbed Lu Zhanxing by the ear, scolding, “How can you call Mr. Li a dog? How did mom teach you? Speaking ill of someone behind their back is absolutely unacceptable.”

“Ow ow!” Lu Zhanxing winced in pain. He struggled free from Su Mian’s grip and stood rubbing his ear, speechless.

“Mom, your son is already in his twenties, how can you still be pulling my ear? If my fans knew that their ‘bro’ was still being ear-tugged by his mom, would I have any dignity left?”

“Next time you’re this rude, I’ll still pull your ear.” Su Mian pointed at Lu Zhanxing’s head with her finger, then turned to Qiao Yun, speaking softly, “Qiaoqiao, you absolutely must not copy your brother, understand?”

Qiao Yun nodded vigorously, looking at Lu Zhanxing, proving her boyfriend’s identity, “He’s not a dog.”

“Alright, alright, he’s not a dog.” Lu Zhanxing immediately admitted his mistake, “But what is he doing here?”

Su Mian said, “Of course, I invited him. Mr. Li has taken such good care of Qiaoqiao, what’s wrong with inviting him to our home for a meal?”

Lu Zhanxing chuckled, “Nothing’s wrong, as long as you, my dear mother, are happy.”

Su Mian, “Humph, good that you know.”

Lu Zhanxing, “…” Oh, mother, I’m telling you, one day you’ll regret your actions today.

Lu Zhanxing clicked his tongue, feeling this wouldn’t do, as some dog thing had barged into their home to snatch people, and he couldn’t just stand by and watch.

So, he pulled out his phone and sent a message to Xie Ying.

[Push all my engagements back tomorrow, I’ll compensate for any losses.]

[Are you alright?]

Lu Zhanxing replied fiercely, [I’m going to shut the door and beat the dog!]

[?]

Lu Jingzhi finished work and came home only to see the three getting along harmoniously, the image of a happy family.

He paused his steps, his expression slightly dimmed.

“Big bro, you’re back.” Lu Zhanxing, sharp-eyed, spotted Lu Jingzhi, “All done with work?”

Since that incident with the Lu family, although it has been clarified, there’s still much that hasn’t been sorted out, so Lu Jingzhi had been very busy lately, too busy even to come home for meals.

However, Lu Zhanxing thought that his brother might be avoiding his sister, because the last time at the old house, when they learned of Lu Ting’s suicide, his response could easily lead to misunderstandings that he was grieving for Lu Ting.

Lu Jingzhi hummed, replying not very enthusiastically, “I’m going upstairs first.”

Su Mian frowned slightly, looking at Lu Zhanxing as if to ask, What’s going on here?

Lu Zhanxing shrugged his shoulders, indicating it wasn’t his issue.

The concerned party, Qiao Yun, didn’t notice anything amiss and was still in the mood to ask Li Hanzhou about his likes and dislikes in food, truly the considerate girlfriend.

Qiao Yun felt her research into dating was going incredibly smoothly.

It was just too easy.

[What do you like to eat?]

Li Hanzhou’s reply came quickly, [I like anything you make.]

[…] Qiao Yun glanced at Lu Zhanxing nervously, and seeing that he wasn’t looking, she reassuredly replied, [It’s not made by me.]

Li Hanzhou’s identity was distinctive, and Su Mian decided to personally cook for the important dinner tomorrow to show the Lu family’s sincerity.

Li Hanzhou quickly changed his tune, [I like anything made by your family.]

[Oh.]

After getting the answer, Qiao Yun told Su Mian.

Su Mian remarked, “Mr. Li is really polite. Before I met him, I thought he was a terrifying person, the kind who thinks about killing people frequently.”

Li Hanzhou, being so young and yet holding his current position, must have experienced a lot.

Qiao Yun agreed, “He’s very nice.”

Lu Zhanxing looked at his sister, then at his mother praising Li Hanzhou, and sneered inwardly, MD, truly a scoundrel.

…

Mrs. Qin was still fretting over Qin Yuan’s attitude towards Qiao Yun, pondering how to sabotage Qiao Yun’s entry into the Qin Family.

Then, a few coughing sounds came from the hospital bed.

It was Grandfather Qin waking up.

Grandfather Qin, groggy and disoriented, lifted his eyelids and then saw the two people who had caused his downfall.

His cheeks trembled as he struggled to lift his emaciated fingers to point at his biological daughter, his breathing trembling as well.

Mrs. Qin, deep down, was still afraid of Grandfather Qin, taking a half step back in fright under his hateful gaze.

Her voice panicked, “Why is he awake?”

Qin Yuan, not the least bit scared, stepped forward slowly, his voice carrying a gentle smile, “Grandpa, you’re awake. How do you feel? Are you okay?”

He acted as if he hadn’t done anything at all.

“You…” Grandfather Qin’s voice was incredibly hoarse, just that one word had already exhausted all his energy.

Seeing Qin Yuan sitting by his side, his breathing grew more rapid. If he hadn’t been too weak to stand up, he likely would have choked Qin Yuan to death.

He had been careless.

He didn’t expect that the people around him had been bought by Qin Yuan, otherwise he wouldn’t have ended up in this state.

Perhaps when he had come from the United States to China, Qin Yuan had already planned everything.

Qin Yuan, with a leisurely smile on his lips, enjoyed watching Grandfather Qin’s desperate struggle, slowly asking, “Did you have a nice dream?”

At his words, a look of terror surfaced in Grandfather Qin’s eyes.

Qin Yuan realized, “It seems like it was a nightmare. You didn’t know, did you? The drug I injected into you was originally meant for Lu Shiran. It’s a new type of drug developed by the G.M. Research Institute, but unfortunately, it wasn’t mass produced before the police raided, though luckily, I still have some. It amplifies your inner desires and wicked thoughts, making life unbearable for you.”

He chuckled, “Of course, if you haven’t done anything guilty, the dreams it induces would only immerse you deeply, unable to extricate yourself.”

Mrs. Qin, just hearing Qin Yuan’s words, felt a chill run through her body.

Grandfather Qin gasped for air, “Scum, scoundrel…”

Although only a few hours had passed in real life, Grandfather Qin felt like it had been years, maybe even longer.

He dreamed of Lu Wan.

He dreamed of how they had met and how he had sweet-talked Lu Wan into his arms…

And then how Lu Wan had died.

Concerning the child Lu Wan was carrying, which was his own flesh and blood, he didn’t want it and even had someone secretly administer medication to Lu Wan.

Lu Wan had realized this and fled, but she had already taken the medication, yet, unexpectedly, the child wasn’t aborted.

Lu Wan’s subsequent weakness was probably also related to the drug he had administered.

He had indirectly killed Lu Wan.

In the delirious hours, Grandfather Qin was haunted relentlessly by the vengeful spirit of Lu Wan.

There was a moment of lucidity during which he thought he saw Lu Shiran.

He wanted to cry out to Lu Shiran for help but couldn’t find the voice to do so.

Qin Yuan leisurely enjoyed watching the painful struggle of Grandfather Qin, who had once trampled him underfoot, before slowly saying, “Are you willing to make a will now? If you agree to hand over everything of the Qin Family to me, I will take good care of you and let you live out the rest of your days without worries.”

Grandfather Qin trembled, “I… I’m your grandfather… we’re family.”

“So what?” Qin Yuan said with relish, “Family? I don’t need that.”

Upon hearing these words, Mrs. Qin felt a flicker of panic…
