After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life

Chapter 645: Modified - 635 Decision

Mr. Xu took a deep breath, "Fourth Young Master, perhaps I misunderstood Ren Fei about that incident. I will investigate it thoroughly, and today I will make Ren Fei come back to live with us."Upon hearing Mr. Xu’s words, Qin Zhan sneered, looking at Mr. Xu arrogantly and disdainfully, "You can order him to leave, and you can order him to return as you wish. Who do you think Xu Renfei is to you? Do you think he has no one behind him?"

"I’ll make it clear to you about Xu Renfei today. It’s not that we are ignoring his matter. It’s because Xu Renfei asked us not to intervene. Otherwise, do you think the Xu Family would still be stable till now? Do you think your stepson could still enjoy his life peacefully?!"

As he spoke, Qin Zhan turned his gaze to Old Madam Xu and stated calmly, "Today, I invited the Old Madam here for two reasons."

"First, regarding Xu Renfei’s matter, I want Old Madam Xu to guarantee me that regardless of who inherits the Xu Family in the future, Xu Renfei will receive what he deserves, and his mother will also receive what she should get."

Although Old Madam Xu knew that the Xu Family was not as powerful as the Qin Family, she had been with the Old Master Xu step by step as they built up the Xu Family. So, for the Xu Family, as long as she was still alive, she would always be the decision-maker.

Therefore, when faced with this imposing young man, she did not show any timidity like her son. She replied, "Young Master Qin should know that this is a family matter of the Xu Family. No matter how powerful the Qin Family is, it can’t dictate the Xu Family."

Qin Zhan nodded slightly, his face calm. "Of course, I understand. But I believe you know better than anyone why Seventh Brother has been through what he has experienced over the years. You should understand what the Xu Family represents to Xu Renfei. The only reason he’s reluctant to leave is because of you."

"To be blunt, once you are gone, the only tie Ren Fei has to the Xu Family will likely disappear as well." As he said this, Qin Zhan looked at Old Madam Xu. "As long as Fei says the word, we will do anything for him. Even without involving our family, I believe our individual capabilities are sufficient."

"Is this a threat!" Mrs. Xu, understanding Qin Zhan’s implication, shouted in fury.

Assistant Ye smiled slightly and said, "Mrs. Xu, given the current situation, it’s better for you to speak less."

Old Madam Xu cast a harsh glance at Mrs. Xu and then at her son, whose face had changed drastically with anxiety. She couldn’t help but sigh, "Young Master Qin, you are forcing me to make a decision."

"Am I forcing you?" Qin Zhan closed his eyes briefly, tapping his fingers on his knee, and said unhurriedly, "I am merely giving you an opportunity to voice the decision you have already made in your heart."

"Old Madam Xu, some things are better said earlier, rather than letting them linger..." Assistant Ye glanced at the meditating Qin Zhan and spoke, "What you saw this time were online rumors. You may not know that Seventh Young Master was caught in an online storm before. This video was also intentionally recorded by someone. I think I don’t need to spell it out."

"If Ninth Young Master hadn’t put in all his effort to support Seventh Young Master, this matter wouldn’t have settled so quickly," Assistant Ye paused, glanced at Mrs. Xu, and smiled gently. "Some things happen repeatedly. The internet can lift someone up, but it also has the power to destroy someone."

Old Madam Xu immediately understood Assistant Ye’s words. She stared coldly at Mrs. Xu, who was subtly signaling her husband to speak up. However, Mr. Xu, who feared his mother the most, didn’t dare to say anything; he had mustered all his courage simply to marry Mrs. Xu in the first place.

Old Madam Xu was not blind and naturally noticed Mrs. Xu’s actions. Thinking of Xu Renfei crying in front of her as a child and his growing emotional distance from the family as he grew up, her heart ached again. Assistant Ye was right; some things needed to be decided sooner rather than later.
