Chapter 115 Qin Family Reunion Dinner
Chapter 115 Qin Family Reunion Dinner
She clenched her fists, alarm bells ringing in her mind, but before she could come up with a solution, the butler had already taken something out of the file bag in his arms and handed it to her: "This is something Madam specifically asked me to give to you."
Yu Yuetong tremblingly took the file bag, but before she could open it, she heard Old Madam Qin's voice rang out calmly: "Open it and take a look, I guarantee you'll be interested."
While clutching the file folder, Yu Yuetong secretly glanced at Qin Reng out of the corner of her eye. This seemingly cold and ruthless, yet complex, CEO was now sitting upright beside her, his aura as cold as an Arctic iceberg, his face clearly saying—Don't embarrass me.
Yu Yuetong inwardly groaned and swallowed hard. She knew very well that this file folder was definitely not some "Yi Le gift package." Knowing Old Madam Qin's methods, it was definitely something with a hidden agenda. However, with everyone's eyes on her, playing dead was clearly out of the question.
"What? You don't dare to look?" Qin Reng said in a low voice, his tone like he was stirring up trouble.
Yu Yuetong glared at him fiercely and muttered under her breath, "Do you think I'm like you? What are you pretending to be so important to me!"
Muttering to herself, she reluctantly tore open the file folder and pulled out its contents. When she saw the first page, her heart pounded wildly, and cold sweat nearly broke out on her forehead.
This is--
It is a meticulously compiled "Chronicle of Countless Untold Grudges and Love-Hate Relationships between Yue Tong and the Qin Family" by a certain meddlesome old lady who is outrageously nosy!
Indeed, the title on the first page was audacious enough—"A Record of Ten Family Rules That Miss Yu Yuetong May Have Omitted Since Marrying into the Qin Family." She glanced at it casually, and the contents were shocking.
Article 1: [Breakfast must be a joint effort by both partners, demonstrating the spirit of marital solidarity] – She reflected on the past month's events. Breakfast? She wasn't even awake yet at this hour!
Article Two: [The Yu family has fallen on hard times, but she cannot be reduced to a mere "figurehead" for the Qin family; she must demonstrate management value within the company within six months]—This is practically a joke! She's worked so hard that taxi drivers automatically open the passenger door when they see her, what more do they want?!
Her face turned deathly pale, and she turned to look at Qin Reng, her voice trembling slightly.
Qin Reng lazily propped his chin up with one hand, smiling like a wicked fox: "These are the 'family rules' that Grandma wants you to know."
"Your grandma is being too unreasonable!" Yu Yuetong was so angry she almost wanted to curse, but she could only suppress her anger in front of the whole family.
"What do you mean by forcing someone to do something they can't?" the old lady's voice suddenly came, and she asked calmly.
These words were like an invisible slap, silencing Yu Yuetong instantly. She forced a smile and said, "Hehe, Grandma, you're right. Family rules are very important... extremely important... I will definitely try my best to follow them."
Old Madam Qin gave her a cold look, clearly not buying it: "Effort needs to produce results; empty words are useless. Remember, from now on, you need to take action in everything you do."
“…Yes!” Yu Yuetong nodded stiffly, as if she were controlling a runaway robot.
Seeing her like a guinea pig being cornered, Qin Reng's gaze softened slightly, but his words remained sharp: "Don't make me clean up your mess again. How about this, I'll teach Grandma what it means to... 'act properly'?"
His tone was sarcastic and languid, yet it was like melting snowflakes falling onto ice, making Yu Yuetong want to roll her eyes. However, she simply didn't have the energy to argue with him right now, so she could only give up and continue flipping through the documents.
However, when she turned to the last few pages, she almost jumped off the sofa.
"The Qin Family Succession Joint Consultation Council was officially launched in 2023. Ms. Yu Yuetong is required to assist Mr. Qin Reng in preparing the 'future successor's' birth plan."
This—this is such an absurd move, even Thor would get electrocuted if he saw it! Are you kidding me?! She's supposed to help him have—have a successor?! She's a man now!!!
"Grandpa really is... very considerate." Qin Reng raised an eyebrow and whistled upon seeing the content, his eyes full of teasing.
Yu Yuetong suddenly turned her head and looked at him, her eyes sharp as two throwing knives: "Careful my foot! If this really happened to me, you won't have any peace either!"
A loud "bang" interrupted their playful bickering. Old Madam Qin tapped her cane, her expression turning stern: "Have you argued enough? If you have any objections, you can bring them up separately to resolve them."
The air seemed to freeze for several seconds.
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and an uninvited guest walked in. He smiled, but his tone was full of provocation: "I heard that the Qin family reunion dinner was missing a bit of seasoning, so I've brought some new stories."
The visitor was none other than Qin Yu.
The moment Qin Yu stepped into the living room with a beaming smile, the scene seemed to freeze instantly. All eyes turned to him, as if the air itself had been solidified by the cold air.
Madam Qin's face instantly turned ugly. She tapped the floor with her cane and asked coldly, "Who allowed you to come in?"
"Grandma," Qin Yu smiled humbly and politely, but with a hint of nonchalance. He bowed slightly, as if in a gesture of respect, but his eyes held an unsettling glint of arrogance. "I'm not here to cause trouble; I just don't want this family dinner to be too monotonous."
"Second Brother's presence certainly adds more 'flavor' to this meal." Qin Reng leaned back lazily on the sofa, casually fiddling with his wristwatch, his tone particularly indifferent. "However, isn't your seasoning a bit too fishy? Grandpa might not like this kind of unpleasant condiment."
"Heh, you still care about Grandpa's preferences. It seems you're quite interested, little brother." Qin Yu's smile faded slightly, his tone laced with a hint of sharpness. He walked to the sofa and sat down, his elegance tinged with a touch of provocation. "However, I really did come here specifically to deliver a message to you—regarding the matter of the 'future successor,' Grandpa said that the conclusion of this family meeting might not be as 'smooth sailing' as someone hoped."
"You don't need to remind me." Qin Reng's lips curled into a thin, cold smile, and his words were as sharp as a knife. "As long as you don't try any underhanded tricks, what Grandpa decides is his business."
"Hehe, I don't have any of those 'tricks' you're thinking of." Qin Yu glanced at Yu Yuetong with a forced smile, his gaze particularly meaningful. "But sister-in-law, you'd better be careful. Our Qin family's rules... have never been changed."
"The Qin family rules are truly captivating," Yu Yuetong said lazily, her deep voice, emanating from the male protagonist's body, carrying a deliberately "cheerful" air.
