Chapter 509 Qin Family's Decision

The room fell silent after his words.

Everyone could tell from Qin Hongguo's statement that what Chen Fan had said was true!

However, this only made them more shocked. They couldn't believe that Da Xiong would dare to snatch food from a tiger's mouth; it was simply courting death.

"That won't trouble Patriarch Qin. We have our own plans," Da Xiong said calmly, as if he didn't even regard the Huangfu family.

Qin Xiaodong sneered, "Heh, you really have guts. But don't think I don't know you're trying to drag our Qin family down with you. I can tell you right now, don't even think about it!"

Da Xiong glanced at Qin Xiaodong, "Does Young Master Qin mean you are not planning to cooperate with us?"

"Yes! To oppose the Huangfu family with you. Do you really think we Qin family members are all fools?" Qin Xiaodong responded with a firm nod.

"Heh, however, it seems it's not your place to make decisions for the Qin family," Chen Fan's voice suddenly rang out, his gaze falling on Qin Hongguo on the sofa.

Qin Xiaodong quickly said to Qin Hongguo, "Father, don't fall for their trick! They are trying to drag our Qin family down with them. If this reaches the ears of the Huangfu family, it will be a disaster for our Qin family!"

"Isn't it already a disaster? Don't you remember why Patriarch Liu came here today?" Chen Fan looked at Liu Zhijun with a playful smile.

Liu Zhijun's expression changed instantly. Hearing this, he knew Chen Fan's intentions.

He immediately grabbed Qin Hongguo and said, "In-law, you can't fall for this kid's trick. You know what the consequences are of completely offending the Huangfu family! Also, we can renegotiate our profit sharing. If necessary, we can split it fifty-fifty! I believe that with our two families cooperating, the foreign trade business will definitely grow bigger and bigger!"

"Father, Uncle Liu is right. Our two families can do even better by cooperating!" Qin Xiaodong kept persuading.

Even Qin Hongwei chimed in, "Yes, elder brother. No matter what, the Liu family is family. We won't lose out by cooperating!"

"Enough!" Qin Hongguo, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

Everyone turned their attention to Qin Hongguo, wanting to know what decision the head of the Qin family would make!

They also knew that this decision would completely change the current Qin family.

"I choose to cooperate with Da Xiong's port!" His words made everyone present widen their eyes in shock.

"Father!"

"Elder brother!"

"Brother Qin!"

The three of them, upon hearing Qin Hongguo's answer, spoke almost simultaneously, wanting to persuade Qin Hongguo further.

However, Qin Hongguo interrupted them with a raised hand.

"There's no need to say more. I have decided this matter. Mr. Xiong, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future, and that our goods can be smoothly exported." Qin Hongguo looked at Da Xiong, who was standing beside Chen Fan.

Da Xiong was also startled by Qin Hongguo's answer. In fact, when he heard Liu Zhijun's fifty-fifty split offer, he had already lost confidence.

But he hadn't expected Qin Hongguo to actually choose to cooperate with their port.

Liu Zhijun suddenly stood up and pointed at Qin Hongguo indignantly, "Brother Qin, you are truly muddled! How could you cooperate with them?!"

"If the Huangfu family finds out that someone has opened a port privately, and that the Qin family is closely cooperating with this port, the consequences are simply unimaginable!"

Hearing Liu Zhijun's analysis, almost everyone in the Qin family felt a sense of dread.

Qin Hongguo simply replied, "My Qin family prefers to control our own destiny, not to live under the thumb of others."

It was clear that Qin Hongguo was unwilling to have the Qin family's foreign trade business acquired by the Liu family.

"Hmph! Good intentions are mistaken for malice! Brother Qin, you'd best take care of yourself!" Liu Zhijun flicked his sleeve and was about to leave with Liu Qianze.

"Wait a moment." However, at this moment, Chen Fan's voice suddenly rang out.

"Kid, what else do you want?" Liu Zhijun looked at Chen Fan with displeasure.

Chen Fan smiled calmly, "As far as I know, the Liu family also has foreign trade business, right?"

"That's right, so what?" Liu Zhijun retorted.

"I just want to ask if your goods will also go through our port," Chen Fan asked.

"No need. My Liu family doesn't have that fortune," Liu Zhijun sneered, ignoring Chen Fan and striding towards the door.

"Since that's the case, then Patriarch Liu, don't come begging me later."

Liu Zhijun stopped, glanced at Chen Fan, and snorted disdainfully.

"Hmph, how ridiculous. Even if my Liu family's foreign trade business closes down, I won't cooperate with you." With that, Liu Zhijun continued to leave.

However, Liu Zhijun did not notice the smile that appeared on Chen Fan's lips when he heard Liu Zhijun's words.

"Father!"

"Elder brother!"

Seeing Liu Zhijun leave, Qin Xiaodong and Qin Hongwei still wanted to persuade him, but were interrupted by Qin Hongguo.

"I said earlier that the Qin family's lifeline must be in our own hands. Don't think I don't know the Liu family's little schemes. You don't need to say anything more. I have already decided this matter." Qin Hongguo's words completely silenced everyone in the Qin family.

"Uncle, it seems there's still one matter that hasn't been fulfilled, right?" Chen Fan suddenly spoke.

Qin Xiaotong, standing by the side, her expression changed instantly, appearing somewhat nervous.

Qin Hongwei stepped in front of Qin Xiaotong and looked at Chen Fan, asking, "Chen Fan, you've pushed our Qin family to this point, what more do you want?"

Chen Fan remained silent, his gaze fixed on Qin Hongguo.

Qin Hongguo's expression was somewhat grim, but he still said, "Since we made a bet, we must honor it. Our Qin family has no one who reneges. Qin Xiaotong, from today onwards, you are no longer a member of the Qin family, and you will no longer receive the Qin family's annual dividends."

Boom!

Qin Hongguo's words were like a bolt from the blue, causing Qin Xiaotong's body to tremble. She collapsed onto the floor.

She muttered, "No, no, this isn't real, this, this isn't real!"

"Elder brother, how can you treat Xiaotong like this? She, she's your own niece! And it was just a bet, how can you take it seriously? Moreover, Chen Fan has brought our Qin family to this state, and you doing this will surely chill the hearts of the family members!" Qin Hongwei burst into tears.

Many people nodded, wanting to plead for Qin Xiaotong.

"Chilling hearts? Do you intend to let the Qin family fall into decline, or be acquired by the Liu family and live under someone else's roof, looking at their faces?"

Facing Qin Hongguo's questioning, Qin Hongwei opened his mouth for a long time but couldn't utter a single word.

"You all go out first. I have something to say to Chen Fan." Seeing that no one else spoke, he then gave the order.

A moment later, only Qin Hongguo and Chen Fan remained in the villa's living room.

Seeing everyone leave, Qin Hongguo's expression gradually turned grim.
