Qin Hongguo nodded, "That's right, Chen Fan will be your brother-in-law from now on."
"This, how is this possible? Dad, are you mistaken? Isn't Qin Shuran supposed to marry Liu Qianze? How did Chen Fan become my brother-in-law?" Qin Yuyan looked incredulous.
Qin Hongguo glared at Qin Yuyan, "Does the family's decisions need to be reported to you?"
He then said coldly, "Apologize to your brother-in-law quickly, you're so disrespectful. I've spoiled you too much."
"Apologize?" Qin Yuyan thought her father had gone mad.
For her, a dignified Miss Qin, to apologize to a nobody, how could that be possible!
"What? You won't even listen to me?! If you don't apologize, then you'll be confined to your room for a month. You won't be allowed to leave this house for a month." Qin Hongguo's expression turned displeased.
"Dad!" Qin Yuyan's heart skipped a beat.
Seeing her father's unchangeable attitude, Qin Yuyan knew he wasn't joking.
Qin Yuyan was naturally unwilling to be confined, so she gritted her teeth and said to Chen Fan, "I'm sorry!"
"You also need to apologize to your sister," Chen Fan, who had been silent, said, glancing at Qin Shuran, whose eyes were a little red beside him.
"Don't push your luck!" Qin Yuyan said angrily. How could she bow to Qin Shuran!
"Uncle Qin, it seems she hasn't realized her mistake. Let's keep her confined," Chen Fan said calmly to Qin Hongguo.
Qin Yuyan's eyes widened instantly. She hadn't expected Chen Fan to dare use her father to suppress her.
Her fingernails almost dug into her flesh. Qin Yuyan suppressed her anger and unwillingness, and said to Qin Shuran, "I'm sorry!"
"Shuran, take Chen Fan to the guest room to rest. We'll have dinner together as a family tonight and let everyone get to know Chen Fan," Qin Hongguo said to Qin Shuran after hearing Qin Yuyan's apology.
Qin Shuran nodded and led Chen Fan to the guest room of the villa.
"Dad, why are you helping an outsider bully me?" Qin Yuyan asked Qin Hongguo indignantly after seeing Qin Shuran and Chen Fan leave.
Qin Hongguo did not answer but sternly ordered, "Control your temper from now on. Don't argue with your sister anymore. Do you understand?"
Qin Yuyan was even more confused. She didn't understand why her father seemed like a different person after returning. He actually agreed to Chen Fan and Qin Shuran getting married? What about the Liu family?
Thinking of this, Qin Yuyan quickly said, "Dad, have you considered what will happen to our business with the Liu family if Qin Shuran marries Chen Fan? We've invested so much effort. If the Liu family finds out, they'll definitely fall out with our family, and all future cooperation will be ruined."
"Moreover, if this gets out, people will say our family is untrustworthy, which will have a huge impact on our Qin family! It will also make more people laugh at our Qin family!"
Seeing that Qin Hongguo remained silent, Qin Yuyan continued, "Dad, our two families are at a very critical juncture right now. If we don't have a marriage alliance to consolidate our relationship with the Liu family, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Hearing Qin Yuyan's words, Qin Hongguo's brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "You're right. Without a marriage alliance to consolidate our relationship with the Liu family, our cooperation will face significant obstacles."
A look of joy immediately appeared on Qin Yuyan's face, "Dad, that's exactly what I mean. Our family has been on the decline for the past few years. Cooperating with the Liu family is the most important thing for us right now."
Qin Hongguo nodded slightly, then walked towards the study, saying to Qin Yuyan, "Call your brother and tell him to come to my study."
"Yes, Father!" Qin Yuyan said with a face full of joy.
Seeing Qin Hongguo walk towards the study, Qin Yuyan glanced triumphantly in the direction of the guest room, "Qin Shuran, hmph, let's see how you'll compete with me! And that kid, how long can you be so smug! You want to be my brother-in-law, but you don't even know who you are!"
Saying that, Qin Yuyan took out her phone and called her brother, Qin Xiaodong.
In the evening, in the banquet hall of the Qin family villa.
The Qin family was unusually lively tonight because the head of the Qin family had announced that there were two important matters to be declared today.
Even Qin Minmin received a notice from the family and rushed back from outside.
When she arrived at the banquet hall and saw Chen Fan sitting with Qin Shuran, she was stunned.
Not only Qin Minmin, but also Qin Shuran's uncles and several aunts looked at Chen Fan, who was sitting at the younger generation's table, with disbelief and surprise.
They had all seen Chen Fan before. After all, there had been such a commotion at the Qin family's patriarch's birthday banquet last time, it was hard for them not to recognize him.
"Why is this kid here?"
"Look, he's sitting with Qin Shuran. If Uncle finds out, he'll probably be furious again."
"Sister Yuyan, what's going on?"
Several younger members couldn't help but ask Qin Yuyan.
Qin Yuyan sneered, "What's going on? Just wait and watch the show here."
Everyone chuckled, turning their gazes to Chen Fan and Qin Shuran, eager to see the exciting performance that would unfold.
"Oh my god, Sister, how did you bring Brother-in-law back?" Qin Minmin, in her high heels, quickly sat down beside Qin Shuran, looking incredulous.
"My dad invited him," Qin Shuran replied in a low voice.
"What?! Uncle invited him? Isn't this a Hongmen Banquet? Are they planning to force you and Brother-in-law to break up in front of the family? And then force you to marry into the Liu family? Oh my god, Uncle is too dramatic!" Qin Minmin guessed, her heart pounding with each guess.
For a moment, she couldn't control her voice, and her last few sentences were almost shouted out.
Instantly, all eyes turned to Qin Minmin.
Qin Shuran was speechless. This little girl really didn't know how to hold her tongue.
"Cough cough! Minmin, what nonsense are you talking about! You're so disrespectful," Qin Hongtao, sitting at the elder's table, coughed dryly with a dark expression and reprimanded her.
Qin Minmin realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly shut her mouth.
However, she was still curious and couldn't help but whisper to Qin Shuran, "Sister, I advise you to leave quickly. I received a notice saying that something important will be announced today. It might be to force you to marry into the Liu family. You should run!"
"Hmph, want to run? Don't you know where this is? This is the Qin family. Not just anyone can come and go as they please," Qin Xiaotong, sitting beside her, snorted coldly with disdain.
This was a rare opportunity for a good show. How could she let Chen Fan and Qin Shuran leave so easily?
For a moment, countless eyes were fixed on Chen Fan and Qin Shuran, as if afraid they would leave.
