Leaving the Qin family with Qin Anning, Qin Xuan continued to put on a decent performance.
Not only did he keep muttering curses, but his actions also didn't stop.
The security guards at the entrance stared at him intently, only relaxing after he had left the compound.
"Xuan'er, I didn't realize you had such considerable acting talent."
Back in the car, Qin Anning could no longer contain her laughter and burst out giggling.
However, after the jest, her expression turned serious again.
Her second brother had poisoned their father, and their father was now having his nephew compete with his second brother and third sister for the family's assets.
In an ordinary family, they could have been a loving family.
But in the wealthy and powerful Qin family of the Imperial Capital, they could only engage in fierce competition, leaving them all scarred.
Were wealth and power truly that important to them?
Regardless, she was now firmly on Qin Xuan's side.
Since their father couldn't offer him any help, she, as his aunt, was determined to do her utmost to help Xuan'er take control of the Qin family.
"In two days, Long Teng Century will be hosting a grand New Year's Eve gala."
"All the younger generation from the prominent families of the Imperial Capital will be attending."
"If you want to enter the upper echelons of the Imperial Capital, this gala is an excellent opportunity."
"On that night, I will personally announce to everyone that you are the legitimate eldest grandson of the Qin family."
"Then, you can use this identity to forge connections with other young people."
"More friends mean more paths. I believe that among those attending the banquet, there will be at least one or two who can become your supporters on your future journey."
"Understood. I will definitely be there the day after tomorrow."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Qin Xuan truly felt Qin Anning's concern for him.
Unlike the hopeful love from Grandpa Qin, Qin Anning's love for him was genuinely built on kinship, a completely selfless love.
When he was young, she would step forward to protect his safety, and when he was just over ten, she took him across the ocean.
As he grew up, she continued to strategize for his future, even though she had no interest in the struggle for power and no desire for the vast Qin family.
"Don't worry. Although it might be a bit troublesome, leading the Qin family won't be a difficult task for me."
"It won't be long before I get the entire Qin family back on the right track."
"And at that time, I won't let you have to leave home for any reason."
"Heh, good."
"Auntie looks forward to that day arriving soon."
It will happen!
I promise.
Watching Qin Anning's car drive away, Qin Xuan silently vowed in his heart.
What he had just said to Qin Anning was not mere empty words to please her.
After all, he was now a quasi-cultivator, with one foot already in the cultivation world.
If he couldn't quickly handle a mere secular family, how could he face the even vaster cultivation world in the future?
...
Imperial Capital, Qin Anbang's Residence.
"Madam, what do you think about Qin Xuan meeting with the Old Master?"
In the luxurious hall, Qin Anbang and his wife, Song Xian, had just dismissed the servant who delivered the intelligence.
According to the situation reported by the servant.
Qin Xuan and Qin Shoujiang had indeed gotten into a fight due to their incompatibility.
Although Qin Anning had still obtained the Old Master's hair, judging by the current trend, even if the paternity test results showed a blood relationship, the two stubborn individuals might not necessarily reconcile.
"What do I think?"
"I'm not thinking about it!"
Casually peeling a grape and putting it into her mouth, Song Xian picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped her lips.
"These two are meeting for the first time. With your previous false report, the Old Man naturally won't have a good impression of that boy."
"But your sister is different from you."
"When she gets the results of the test, it will expose Qin Xuan's true identity."
"Who can guarantee that after confirming the grandfather-grandson relationship, the Old Man won't remember your eldest brother Qin Antai fondly?"
"At that time, let alone loving each other, it wouldn't be impossible for him to directly announce that wild child as the next head of the Qin family."
"Then what do you mean..."
Qin Anbang frowned, clearly believing that Qin Shoujiang might indeed do something like that.
After all, his eldest brother and eldest nephew had both been the Old Master's darlings.
Qin Xuan, even after his eldest brother's death, had been established early on as the Qin family's next heir.
Now that Qin Xuan had returned, the heir status was still with him.
As long as he was willing to lower his head and admit his mistakes to the Old Master,
The entire Qin family would inevitably belong to Qin Xuan alone.
If that were the case...
Just as Qin Anbang was contemplating activating his trump card to forcibly seize the Qin family, Song Xian put on her slippers and slowly stood up from the sofa.
Opening her makeup mirror, she reapplied her lipstick.
"I mean, let's wait and see."
"Have Xiao Qi put the surveillance equipment back in place and see what reaction the Old Man has after learning the truth."
After speaking, she applied a little force, and the makeup mirror closed instantly with a "snap."
"This is also a last resort."
"I've always told you to be ruthless when doing great things, but you're always bogged down by this petty familial affection."
"If you had acted sooner and gotten rid of your eldest nephew."
"Or if you had been more ruthless over the years and increased the dosage of the poison."
"This Qin family would have been ours long ago."
"But you?"
"On one hand, you can't bear to part with your elder brother and sister-in-law's only descendant, and on the other hand, you can't bring yourself to kill your own father."
"Hesitant and timid, no wonder even your own father thinks you're useless!"
The barrage of complaints made Qin Anbang's face gradually darken.
If it weren't for this woman's instigation, he wouldn't have taken that irreversible first step back then!
"Dad, Mom!"
"I'm back!"
"Why do I hear you two arguing as soon as I walk in?"
Just as they were about to part ways with gloomy faces, a clear and bright voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Upon hearing the voice, their expressions brightened.
Their change of demeanor was as rapid as a Sichuan opera facial change.
"It's nothing!"
"It's just that your dad got scolded by Grandpa today."
"He's in a bad mood, and your mom is just trying to cheer him up."
Striding with a sway of her hips, Song Xian took small steps towards the villa entrance.
Qin Anbang grunted in agreement and happily walked towards the newcomer.
"Xiao Hu, your mom is right. Dad was just scolded by your grandpa and is in a bad mood. It's nothing, nothing at all."
Upon hearing this, the newcomer chuckled and embraced them both.
He was wearing camouflage and carrying a large bag.
If Qin Xuan saw this handsome young man, he would surely exclaim in surprise.
Isn't this Qin Hu from the Dragon Shadow Special Forces?!
