Chapter 561 - 562: The Burden on Qin Mobai’s Shoulders
Actually, Qin Mobai wasn’t wrong, because Lou Xi is Shen Youran’s daughter, her identity shifted from an ordinary college student to a wealthy young lady.
So all of Qin Sheng’s dissatisfaction with her faded away.
After confirming this perception, Qin Mobai had some reservations about Old Master’s disdain for the poor and love for the rich.
But after all, he’s an elder, Qin Mobai didn’t show it, but it didn’t mean he agreed with Old Master’s way of thinking.
"Do you know why I insist you marry a girl from a good family?" Qin Sheng asked, his expression solemn.
Qin Mobai slightly furrowed his brow, seeing Old Master’s serious expression, realizing things weren’t as simple as he thought.
"Do you still remember the financial crisis ten years ago? In the overall environment, the Qin Family couldn’t escape unscathed. Over these ten years, although your father and I have been trying our best to bring the Qin Family back to its peak, but... the Qin Family now is strong externally but weak internally."
It was the first time Qin Mobai heard Qin Sheng talk about this matter; he always thought the Qin Family was in good condition.
During that time, when all the businesses announced layoffs, only the Qin Family didn’t lay off a single employee, and managed to endure to the end during the financial crisis.
At that time, Qin Mobai was studying in the United States, with his own fledgling company, not very aware of the domestic situation.
When Qin Mobai heard Old Master describe the Qin Family now as "strong externally but weak internally," it caught Qin Mobai’s attention.
"Under internal and external troubles, I think the Shen Family might be able to help us, so..." plus the engagement already arranged between the two families, Qin Sheng went with the flow.
But unexpectedly, Qin Mobai and Lou Xi became close.
"Grandfather, why are you only telling me now about such a significant issue!" If Qin Mobai had known earlier, he would have focused more on the Qin Family, "I know about the external threats, but what about the internal troubles?"
Speaking of internal troubles, Old Master’s face showed subtle helplessness and anger.
"Your aunt and uncle want to push Siwei to the Family Head position, swallow the Qin Family, and change its name!"
Qin Mobai knew his aunt and uncle were ambitious, but didn’t expect they would want to change the Qin Family’s name!
"Grandfather, rest assured, I won’t let anyone touch even a bit of the Qin Family!" Qin Mobai now understood Old Master’s painstaking and helpless effort.
"Just knowing this is enough, your aunt after all is my daughter, I don’t want the entire Qin Family to fall apart because of this! One chopstick is easily broken, but breaking a bundle is difficult!"
Qin Mobai understood Old Master’s meaning, unity is strength.
As long as the Qin Family is united, no matter how big the external threats are, they can’t destroy them.
"Understood, grandfather, I will handle this cautiously."
Qin Mobai is not only Qin Mobai, he is also the Qin Family’s future Family Head, carrying Qin Sheng’s expectations, and he also has to bear the entire Qin Family’s burden!
...
In the gallery, without surveillance, even if Lou Xi had a hundred mouths, she couldn’t explain clearly.
This kind of being wrongfully accused, really seems endless.
Lou Xi paused for a moment, then said to Li Keran, "Mr. Li Qin, I apologize for the incident earlier, but the painting wasn’t made wet by me. I know you won’t believe me explaining it like this, I..."
"Old Li, didn’t expect to meet you here!" A familiar voice came, Lou Xi turned back and saw Shen Youran walking into the gallery.
Li Keran saw Shen Youran, trying hard to recall this person’s influence, then...
"Shen Youran? Are you really You Ran? We haven’t seen each other for over twenty years, have we!" Li Keran, upon seeing Shen Youran, forgot about the wet painting incident.
