Chapter 203 - 204 Grandma Arrives (1)
Qin Mobai had just returned to his office when the phone on his desk started ringing, unsurprisingly, it was from Qin Sheng.
It must be because of the incident at the school with the Xi Family; it only took half an hour for the news to reach the old man. Remarkable.
Holding the cordless phone, Qin Mobai stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, one hand behind his back, gazing at the entirety of Nancheng outside the office building.
He stood tall and majestic, a man high above on a divine pedestal. Such a man truly exists alongside the light.
"Mobai, have you reached the company?" Qin Sheng began by playing Tai Chi with Qin Mobai, likely trying to steer the conversation towards the main point.
"If I weren’t at the company, I wouldn’t be able to receive the call you made to the office," Qin Mobai replied.
"..." Qin Sheng was silent for a moment, "Is everything at the company going smoothly?"
"The company’s financial reports are delivered to you on time every month. Whether it’s going smoothly or not, you can see for yourself."
"Then..."
"Grandpa, if you want to ask about the incident at the school earlier, just say it directly." Qin Mobai disliked beating around the bush and refused to go in circles with Qin Sheng, going straight to the point.
"Alright then, since you’re being so direct, tell me what you think."
"I don’t have much opinion about this matter; it’s just some squabble between two children. If the Xi Family wants to escalate this to a rivalry between families, I have no reason to back down," Qin Mobai said deeply, his expression serious, like a lion ready to pounce.
Hearing this, Qin Sheng sighed softly, knowing well his grandson’s temperament. If the Xi Family indeed wanted to break ties with the Qin Family over their daughter, Qin Mobai wouldn’t show mercy either.
"Mobai, I just want to tell you, having more friends is more beneficial than having more enemies. Both the Qin Family and Xi Family are big families in Nancheng. If there is a direct confrontation, someone else might profit from it. You’ve grown up; you should understand this principle," Qin Sheng advised earnestly.
"Grandpa, I understand this," Qin Mobai replied. He wasn’t some reckless youth and wouldn’t go head-to-head with the Xi Family.
"Understand? What does he understand?" Suddenly, a voice reached Qin Mobai’s ears; it was from Old Madam Qin.
Evidently, Old Madam Qin also knew about the matter, "He’s tearing face with the Xi Family over a girl of unknown origin. What does he understand?"
With that, Old Madam Qin likely grabbed the phone from Qin Sheng’s hand, "Mobai, I raised you from when you were a baby..."
Whenever Old Madam Qin said this to Qin Mobai, it was clear she was about to play the affection card.
Since his birth, Qin Mobai’s mother wasn’t around, and it was always Old Madam Qin who took care of him. As for the details of her caring, Qin Mobai really didn’t know.
Back then, he was so young, how could he possibly know these things?
"Grandma." Precisely because he was raised by Old Madam Qin, Qin Mobai had a degree of compromise with her, but concerning Lou Xi, he didn’t want to compromise.
"I know that you are infatuated with that girl Lou Xi, which is why you’re doing these things. Grandma has been through this and knows the intricacies of it."
"Grandma, I don’t want to contradict you."
"I’ll accept Lou Xi, but I need to know if the girl is truly sincere about being with you. Tonight, I’ll stay at your apartment and spend some time with her."
