Chapter 178: Can't understand human speech?

~9 min read 1,656 words

Jiang Hai stood in place, the smile on his face completely frozen.

He rubbed his hands, wanting to say something more.

But Qin Ze had already said this much, and he racked his brains, not knowing how to smooth things over.

But he was still unwilling in his heart.

One million! The young man in front of him could donate one million! How much money must he have on hand?

If he could squeeze two hundred thousand out of him...

Jiang Hai gritted his teeth and bit the bullet, adding another sentence:

"That... President Qin, do you think this would work?"

"I won't borrow two hundred thousand, one hundred thousand is fine too!"

"Look, for my sake, for Jiang Wan's sake, after all, I am her uncle!"

"And I'll only borrow it for a year, I'll pay it back when the year is up!"

"If it wasn't for my son getting married in a hurry, I wouldn't be in such a rush to borrow money from you!"

Qin Ze looked at him and smiled.

In that smile, there was a hint of playfulness, a hint of contempt.

"Are you unable to understand human speech, or is your skin naturally this thick?"

Jiang Hai's face instantly turned the color of a pig's liver.

Qin Ze didn't pay him any more attention and turned to look at Jiang Tian and Song Lian:

"Uncle, Auntie, I'm leaving first. I'll come to see you another day."

Jiang Tian nodded, his face filled with apology:

"Xiao Qin, I've let you see a joke today..."

Qin Ze smiled:

"It's alright, Uncle, don't take it to heart."

Qin Ze took Jiang Wan's hand and walked toward the door.

Qin Ze had originally planned to return to Jiangcheng shortly.

At the same time, Qin Ze didn't intend to get entangled here anymore, and using this as an excuse to leave was the best opportunity.

"Jiang Wan, don't you have a meeting tonight? Let's hurry back to Jiangcheng."

Jiang Wan nodded and was about to leave with Qin Ze.

Jiang Hai suddenly exploded.

"Stop!"

Qin Ze stopped his footsteps and looked back at him.

The next moment, he saw Jiang Hai pointing at his own brother, Jiang Wan's father!

"Jiang Tian! Are you determined to tear your face off with me today?!"

Jiang Tian frowned:

"What do you mean by that?"

"What do I mean?" Jiang Hai pointed at Qin Ze, then pointed at Jiang Wan.

"Your daughter found a man, and he humiliated me to my face, and you don't say a word? Are you still my brother?!"

Jiang Tian's expression also sank:

"You were the one who started hurting people with your words! You were sarcastic about Xiao Qin the moment you walked in, and even said my daughter was selling her looks; now you're blaming us?"

"The fact that I didn't explode already counts as being polite to you."

Jiang Hai sneered:

"I was doing it for her own good! A girl, finding a man with no ability, what will she eat and drink in the future?"

"Besides, what's wrong with me saying a few words? I am her own second uncle! I say a few words to her, and she turns her face and doesn't recognize people?"

"Fine! Your family is capable now, looking down on us poor relatives, right?"

"I'm telling you, Jiang Tian, with your attitude today, our relationship as relatives is over!"

Jiang Tian looked at him and was silent for a few seconds.

Then, he spoke slowly:

"Big Brother, are you finished?"

"If you're finished, then leave."

Jiang Hai was completely dumbfounded.

He widened his eyes, looking at Jiang Tian in disbelief:

"You're kicking me out?"

Jiang Tian didn't speak, and Song Lian also stood out, her tone cold:

"Second Brother, we won't keep you today. Please go back."

Jiang Hai's face turned from green to white.

He looked at Jiang Tian, then at Song Lian, and finally his gaze landed on Jiang Wan:

"Big niece! Aren't you going to say something?"

Jiang Wan looked at him, her tone calm:

"Second Uncle, I think my dad is right."

"You!" Jiang Hai was so angry his whole body was shaking, "Fine! Fine! Your family, you're really something!"

He turned his head to look at Jiang Xiaojun:

"Let's go! We're leaving!"

Jiang Xiaojun hurriedly stood up and followed behind his dad.

But when he reached the door, Jiang Hai stopped again.

He turned his head, looked at Jiang Tian, and said through gritted teeth:

"Jiang Tian, remember this! You kicked me out today, this matter isn't over!"

"I'll go back and tell Big Uncle, Second Aunt, Third Uncle, and the others, let them all see how your family treats relatives now that you have money!"

"I want to see if your family can still hold your heads up in the circle of relatives!"

Once these words were out, Jiang Tian's expression changed.

He knew his big brother's character; he was famous for having a loose tongue and could add oil and vinegar to anything he said.

If he really let him go back and talk nonsense, it would be hard for his family to face the relatives.

Song Lian was also somewhat panicked, opening her mouth, wanting to say something, but not knowing how to respond.

Jiang Wan's expression also sank, but just as she was about to retort, a hand pressed on her shoulder.

It was Qin Ze.

Qin Ze stepped forward and stood in front of Jiang Hai.

He was half a head taller than Jiang Hai, looking down at him, a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth:

"What did you just say?"

Jiang Hai felt a bit creeped out by his gaze, but still bit the bullet and said:

"I said I'm going back to tell all the relatives, let them see what kind of face your family has!"

Qin Ze nodded:

"Oh, and then?"

Jiang Hai was stunned:

"And then?"

Qin Ze said:

"After you tell the relatives, what do you plan to do? Let that group of relatives pool together two hundred thousand for you?"

Jiang Hai opened his mouth, unable to speak.

Qin Ze's smile slowly faded.

He looked at Jiang Hai, his tone flat, but every word carried a chill:

"I'll give you a firm word today."

"If you dare to talk nonsense behind our backs and ruin the reputation of Jiang Wan's family."

He paused, his gaze landing on Jiang Xiaojun:

"I will make your son unable to stay in any company or enterprise in all of Qingshui County, no, in any company at all."

"You can absolutely see if I have that capability."

Once these words were out, Jiang Hai's pupils shrank sharply.

Jiang Xiaojun's face turned white instantly.

Qin Ze was someone who could donate over a million just like that!

Dealing with someone at the bottom like him would be easy.

He had spent 150,000 just to get married and finally found a job at a company.

So he tugged on Jiang Hai's sleeve:

"Dad, let's go... stop talking..."

Jiang Hai stood in place, a layer of cold sweat seeping out on his forehead.

He looked at Qin Ze, opened his mouth, wanting to say something harsh to regain his ground, but the words reached his lips and were swallowed back down.

In the end, he didn't say anything, pulled Jiang Xiaojun, and left without looking back.

The door slammed shut with a bang.

In the living room, quiet was restored.

Jiang Tian stood by the coffee table and sighed a long sigh.

He walked to Qin Ze, patted Qin Ze's shoulder, his tone carrying a hint of exhaustion and gratitude:

"Xiao Qin, I've really let you see a disgrace today."

Qin Ze smiled:

"Uncle, don't say that."

"Besides, they were clearly bullying people just now, it has nothing to do with you, Uncle!"

Jiang Tian shook his head:

"My big brother has had this character since he was young. In the past, when our family conditions weren't good, he would go out of his way to avoid us."

"Now that he sees we bought a house, he starts having crooked thoughts."

"If you weren't here today, I really wouldn't know how to end this."

"It's just as well, even brothers should settle accounts clearly; from today on, we won't associate with him."

Qin Ze said:

"Uncle, it's getting late, Jiang Wan and I need to return to Jiangcheng as soon as possible, there are still some things at the company that need to be handled."

"We'll be leaving first!"

Jiang Tian clearly felt that he hadn't had enough time with Qin Ze:

"Why not stay tonight? You just drank with me, you shouldn't drive."

Qin Ze waved his hand.

"It's no problem, I called a designated driver!"

Song Lian also sighed from the side:

"Xiao Qin, I've really troubled you today, you didn't even get to eat, and you're already leaving..."

Qin Ze said with a smile:

"Auntie, it's fine, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

He turned his head to look at Jiang Wan:

"It's getting late, we should go too."

Jiang Wan nodded:

"Mm."

Song Lian hurriedly said:

"Then I'll see you off."

Jiang Tian also said:

"I'll see you off too."

The two saw Qin Ze and Jiang Wan to the elevator entrance.

The elevator door slowly closed.

Jiang Wan leaned against the elevator wall and let out a long sigh of relief.

She turned her head to look at Qin Ze, her eyes carrying a hint of complex emotion:

"Thank you, Qin Ze."

"If you hadn't scared my second uncle at the end just now, with his character, he definitely would have gone back and talked nonsense everywhere."

"Who knows what kind of trouble he would have caused."

By the time they reached the garage, the designated driver had arrived not long after. ===== CHAPTER 179 =====
