Chapter 62: Slap in the Face
Things have come to this point, and Qin Hehai can't really go to the extreme. It is crucial for a family leader to treat everyone equally. Family harmony is the foundation for a prosperous family.
Shang Jie finally found a way out for himself and was able to save face. Qin Hehai didn't agree nor did he reject it outright. Kong Nanzhu knew that this matter might work.
But Qin Fang no longer cared whether what Shang Jie said was true or false. What she cared about was that the father and son Qin Hehai and Qin Qi had just dismissed her with just a few words in front of Kong Nanzhu.
"What on earth has this girl fooled you into? Ever since she entered the Qin family, everything has gone wrong! Qin Qi left the family company behind and went to study at the drama academy to become an actress. You and Shen Jun treated her like a treasure all day long. Now she's teaming up with those shady people outside to extort the Qin family's property, and you're still stubborn!"
Kong Nanzhu was so angry that she was shaking all over and her face was as pale as paper. Even Qin Qi's embrace could not make her feel a trace of warmth.
"Aunt, I call you Aunt because you are my elder. It doesn't mean that I respect you from the bottom of my heart." Kong Nanzhu didn't want to care about it anymore. She pulled Qin Qi's hand away, stood up and walked to the opposite side of Qin Fang.
Just as Kong Nanzhu pulled Qin Qi's arm away, an inopportune sentence popped up in Qin Qi's mind.
The seal is lifted.
Kong Nanzhu did not change into slippers when she entered the room, but hurriedly came in wearing high-heeled short boots. She was originally half a day taller than Qin Fang, and with the heels, when she stood in front of Qin Fang, she looked down at Qin Fang's eyes without missing a beat.
Qin Fang subconsciously wanted to step back, "What do you want to do?"
"Shang Jie was blinded by money, and he deserved to be deceived. Why didn't he tell you that he took the initiative to reveal the news that Qin Qi and I were married in exchange for cooperation opportunities. Any entertainment company that is hostile to Qin Qi can manipulate Qin Qi at will with such a bargaining chip. He failed to harm Qin Qi and instead harmed himself. This is called reaping what one sows."
Qin Fang's mind raced, "Then why did Qin Qi not get affected when he knew about your marriage to him, but instead cheated Shang Jie? What is your relationship with him?"
Kong Nanzhu sneered, "Because Song Linyuan is a fanatical fan of Qin Qi, he won't allow anyone to plot against his idol!"
Qin Fang: “…”
Qin's second aunt: "..."
Qin Hehai raised his face in surprise: "?"
Is there any other explanation like this?
Qin Qi covered his face, took a deep breath and raised his head, "That's right."
For now, let’s just understand it this way.
"Moreover, the people who asked Shang Jie for compensation were those who he tricked into signing the forged contract. They had nothing to do with me, Qin Qi, or even Song Linyuan. In fact, he knew that what he did was illegal, right? He just wanted to earn the agency fee for poaching people, so he went crazy to find someone to sign the contract. Can he blame others?"
Qin Fang: "You..."
"He's a 28-year-old man who has worked for so many years, but he can't even come up with 20 million. Shouldn't he reflect on himself?"
Qin Fang's eyes widened: "?!"
Qin Hehai, who was drinking water to moisten his throat, spat out a mouthful of tea leaves.
Qin Qi touched his chin thoughtfully and began to reconsider whether the limit on the supplementary card he opened for Kong Nanzhu was too low.
In her eyes, is 20 million so easy to earn?
This cannot be blamed on Kong Nanzhu. After all, this is the Qin family. Anyone picked out has a net worth of over 100 million. Qin Qi's salary for a movie plus dividends can easily exceed this amount. Even she herself has been doing self-media for these years, but she still has a few million in her hands. Add to that the income from the financial management of the inheritance left to her by her parents, Kong Nanzhu can make a net profit of hundreds of thousands every year without doing anything.
With ready-made resources and a stable job, as long as Shang Jie is willing to work hard, there are plenty of opportunities for him to make money. What's more, Shang Jie's father is also a senior corporate executive. Kong Nanzhu couldn't understand how Shang Jie had the nerve to ask to borrow money.
"When he can't make money, he tries to take shortcuts. After being cheated, he doesn't reflect or repent, but instead throws dirty water on others. Helping such a person is equivalent to harming him, otherwise he will never learn his lesson in the future. Don't you think so, Dad?" Kong Nanzhu's speech speed became faster and faster, and he suddenly mentioned Qin Hehai's name.
Qin Hehai sat up straight with a start, "Oh, right."
Kong Nanzhu looks like a replica of Shen Jun when he was young.
The eyes, the aura, the tone, all exactly the same.
Qin Fang opened her mouth, her lips trembling and she couldn't speak.
Seeing this, the second aunt of the Qin family immediately stepped forward and helped Qin Fang sit down, "Sit down quickly, big sister, don't get angry, what will happen if you get angry and get sick ?"
Kong Nanzhu turned around and poured a cup of tea to Qin Fang. He squatted beside her with a concerned look on his face, "Aunt, after listening to what I said, do you also think that people like him are unreasonable? He is not worthy of you to plead for him on New Year's Day. Don't be too angry. After this incident, he should know how to restrain himself."
Qin Fang looked at the cup of tea in front of her and didn't take it.
It’s not that I’m angry and don’t want to answer, but that I don’t dare.
She even suspected that the tea was poisonous.
The second aunt of the Qin family didn't expect that Kong Nanzhu, a little girl, could be so irritating. She knew from the last meal that Kong Nanzhu's usual quietness and restraint were all pretended. Now, she and Qin Fang couldn't even beat Kong Nanzhu with one mouth.
The second aunt of the Qin family wanted to say something, but Qin Qi stood up and walked over, pulled Kong Nanzhu up, and dragged her upstairs, "Second aunt, if you have time to worry about Brother Shang Jie, why don't you spend your time caring about your cousin's relationship status? I heard that she was recently cheated into buying a Lamborghini by a third-tier celebrity."
After saying that, Qin Qi took Kong Nanzhu back to the room regardless of how excited everyone else's expressions were.
Qin Qi's room is full of the breath of youth. The dart board behind the door is mottled with marks. Next to the wardrobe are three rows of sneaker boxes two meters high. The bookcase that occupies the entire wall is filled with classic Chinese and foreign masterpieces on the left side, and the other three cabinets are all filled with movie discs he has collected since he was a child, neatly arranged according to country, region, era and category.
When she was in middle school, Kong Nanzhu would occasionally come back to this room to help Qin Qi with his homework. The questions Qin Qi asked were sometimes simple, and sometimes so complicated that even she couldn't answer them. She could only go back in shame and secretly search for the answers on the Internet, and then copy the explanations from the Internet to Qin Qi the next day.
Every time Qin Qi looked at her with admiration, and said in a baby voice, "Sister is so awesome."
In order to get this compliment, Kong Nanzhu always tried her best to understand the questions Qin Qi threw at her.
Seeing Kong Nanzhu staring at the desk in a daze, Qin Qi sat in front of the desk and raised his chin to signal Kong Nanzhu to sit on his lap like before.
"Did I go too far with what I said just now?" Kong Nanzhu always struggled with the aftermath. It felt good to be rude to others, but when looking back, he felt that he had not done well in many aspects. He always wanted to perform more perfectly, but every time he remembered afterwards that there seemed to be a more appropriate way of saying it.
"Not at all." Qin Qi smiled like a fox, "This way I can rest assured that they can't bully you when I'm not around, and what you said is true."
I still remember the first year when Kong Nanzhu just came to the Qin family. It was also the first day of the Lunar New Year. All the relatives and friends of the Qin family commented on Kong Nanzhu openly and secretly as if they were admiring a rare object. However, Kong Nanzhu maintained a polite smile from beginning to end and showed the utmost tolerance to every member of the Qin family.
At that time, Qin Qi still couldn't understand why Kong Nanzhu could still endure facing so many annoying faces.
He still remembered Kong Nanzhu's answer at that time.
"Compared to the relatives I had before, they are already very nice."
Qin Qi thought, what a terrible group of people.
