Chapter 1419: The Shameless Method

Qin Yiyan said, his eyes sparkling.

It was as if he was very proud of his own cleverness.

But Qin Chao only felt that Qin Yiyan had suffered a great grievance!

This was the heir of their Qin Family, he should be enjoying the best of everything!

And yet?

Looking at the cold and desolate surroundings, Qin Chao sighed and asked uncomprehendingly, "Why must you treat yourself so poorly?"

Qin Yiyan's smile was very faint.

He said, "You are not me, so you don't know if this is a grievance or if I am perfectly content."

"Hmph, I truly cannot understand your way of thinking. You really choose to abandon a perfectly good life just to go and seek out suffering!"

"As for life, one knows its warmth and coldness for oneself; you don't need to worry about me."

"But how long are you going to continue this messy life?"

Qin Yiyan lowered his eyes slightly and replied, "When I can return to the company, I will go home. Right now, I have to drink traditional Chinese medicine every day, and the smell is very strong. If I go home, it will also bother you all."

Hearing his words, Qin Chao's attitude suddenly became very eager, and he even said, "It doesn't matter, Mom and Dad aren't afraid!"

"But I would feel bad about it. Dad, please just wait a little longer; it won't be long anyway."

Qin Yiyan had a smile on his lips, but his attitude was very firm.

Qin Chao knew he couldn't persuade Qin Yiyan, so he stopped lobbying.

However, Qin Chao thought of something; his eyes rolled, and he asked, "About how long is this 'not long' you speak of?"

"Hmm... about a week, or maybe ten days."

This answer made Qin Chao unable to help but look Qin Yiyan up and down.

It seemed he was weighing something.

When that gaze met Qin Yiyan's...

Qin Chao immediately switched to a relaxed attitude and said, "Sigh, I finally see hope! You don't know how much pressure there is working overtime with a group of young people at the company. Those kids seem to never get tired, but I can't do it. If I stay up late for a while, I feel like my body is being hollowed out."

As he spoke, Qin Chao even rubbed his waist, looking very tired.

Qin Yiyan did not expose Qin Chao's lie.

He tugged at the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "I know you've been working hard, Dad. Some of the company's directors have already spoken to me about it recently."

Qin Yiyan's words carried a hidden meaning.

But Qin Chao seemed not to have understood.

Or perhaps, he hadn't thought in that direction at all.

However, Qin Chao did realize that he had been here for so long and hadn't even asked about Qin Yiyan's health.

To make up for the oversight, Qin Chao hurriedly asked, "How has your body recovered?"

"I have regained quite a bit of strength, and the wounds don't hurt as much. After all, Xin'ai is a very excellent doctor; with her overseeing things, it would be hard to recover slowly."

Once Qin Yiyan praised Liu Xin'ai, Qin Chao would show a very impatient look.

Actually, before, he also felt Liu Xin'ai was not bad.

But ever since Liu Xin'ai had that incident, Qin Chao felt this woman was no longer qualified to be their Qin Family's daughter-in-law.

Plus, he had already warned Liu Xin'ai, and that woman still didn't know to stay away from Qin Yiyan, so Qin Chao grew increasingly annoyed with Liu Xin'ai.

And his annoyance was completely revealed on his face.

Qin Yiyan saw his father's change in expression, but deliberately asked, "Dad, your complexion doesn't look very good?"

"I..."

"Oh my, is it because of work that your face looks so bad? If you feel it's too hard, then hand over a portion of the work to my assistant."

After Qin Yiyan finished speaking, he watched Qin Chao's expression change carefully.

For Qin Chao, handing over all the work in his hands would be no problem.

But...

Qin Chao hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand in refusal, saying, "Outsiders, in the end, cannot be trusted. It's better to wait until you return to the company."

Qin Yiyan took in his father's performance.

Then he smiled faintly and said, "In that case, then please continue to toil for a while longer, Dad."

"For you, for the company, this bit of toil is nothing. I just hope you can remember the sacrifices Dad has made for you and be a bit more sensible in the future."

"I definitely will."

"Then get some good rest. I'll come to see you again in two days."

Qin Yiyan nodded slightly, then signaled for the two bodyguards to personally escort Qin Chao out.

Being followed by two burly men, Qin Chao felt... uneasy.

And Qin Yiyan stared at his father's back, gradually withdrawing the composure from his face.

Just now, when he asked his father to hand over real power, a flash of hesitation appeared on his father's face.

So, why would his father hesitate?

In Qin Yiyan's heart, many hypotheses suddenly emerged.

And these hypotheses needed to be investigated clearly using some methods.

But before Qin Yiyan could arrange for people to investigate and find the results, Chi Rong arrived at the door.

Unlike Qin Chao's exasperation, when Chi Rong saw Qin Yiyan, her first sentence was, "Who did you learn this shameless method from?"

Qin Yiyan knew what his mother meant.

He was not annoyed, smiled, and explained, "This isn't being shameless, but the optimal choice made based on the current situation."

Isn't that still being shameless?

Chi Rong showed a helpless expression and shook her head lightly.

She had heard from Qin Chao that Qin Yiyan had moved out to live on his own.

Qin Chao's original intention was to have Chi Rong persuade Qin Yiyan to return home.

In order to achieve his goal, he even described Qin Yiyan's living situation as very miserable.

Hearing those details made Chi Rong's heart ache.

But after coming here in person, she discovered...

It wasn't actually that bad.

It's just that the smell of traditional Chinese medicine in this room is truly very strong.

Chi Rong frowned slightly and asked, "Didn't you say before that your health was recovering quite well?"

"It is quite well."

"If it's well, why is there such a strong medicinal smell? It's as if... you were terminally ill!"

Chi Rong was startled by the assumption that had suddenly popped into her head, and her eyes clearly showed panic.

Qin Yiyan noticed his mother's panic.

He hurriedly took hold of his mother's wrist and comforted her, "These are all medicinal soups prepared for me by Xin'ai to strengthen my body."

Medicinal... soup?

Chi Rong had lived for half a lifetime, and this was the first time she had heard such a term.

However, seeing Qin Yiyan's relaxed and comfortable demeanor, Chi Rong's heart settled down.

She knew that this son of hers was once again finding fancy ways to pursue his wife!

Sigh, this child, he really realized things too late.

After sighing with emotion, Chi Rong added, "Actually, it's not bad for you to live here; not only are you close to Xin'ai, but you can also avoid being harassed by that woman."

As she spoke, Chi Rong thought of something and hurriedly asked, "That Miss Wang hasn't come looking for you again, has she?"

"No, I suspect she doesn't dare to anymore."

Doesn't dare to?

Chi Rong looked at the black-clad bodyguards around them and made an assumption: "You wouldn't have... intimidated her, would you?"

From Chi Rong's gaze, Qin Yiyan could see what she was worried about.

To put his mother at ease, he explained, "I did intimidate her, but please rest assured, I don't leave evidence when I do things, and Wang Yaran will only be grateful to me."

Chi Rong was completely bewildered; she truly could not connect the two matters of intimidation and gratitude.
