Chapter 70.1: Fight (I)
Today, Mr. Qin rarely came back early. When he was about to have dinner with Su Bei and Su Xiaobao, his mobile phone rang. It was from Qin Jinguo. Seeing the caller ID, a sneer flashed through Mr. Qin’s eyes, and he immediately answered the call.
Qin Jinguo’s voice came from the receiver: “Are you busy?”
“Not busy. If you have something to say, Dad, say it directly.” Qin Shao didn’t spare any courtesy. He obviously refused to waste time talking nonsense with the caller.
Qin Jinguo: “Since you are not busy, come to Jinxi Garden for dinner.”
Qin Shao lowered his eyes and sneered, “Is it because of your baby stepson?”
Qin Jinguo: “…”
After a while, Qin Jinguo spoke again: “Come here. Our family needs to sit down and have a conversation.”
…
Mr. Qin’s face was frighteningly cold. But his expression turned normal after he hung up the call and faced his two children again.
“You two stay at home and have your dinner. I need to go out.” After saying that, Mr. Qin took his coat and prepared to leave.
Su Bei stopped her father: “Wait.”
“Dad, are you going to grandpa and grandma’s house?”
Mr. Qin nodded.
Su Bei: “I’m going too!”
Hearing this, Mr. Qin frowned: “I’m going to deal with some matters. You shouldn’t follow me. Stay at home.”
“I know.” From the call just now, Su Bei had some guesses. After thinking for a moment, Su Bei looked at Qin Shao again and spoke solemnly: “I just worry about you, Dad. So I want to go with you.”
Hearing Su Bei’s words, Mr. Qin secretly smiled: He knew that this was probably just an excuse, but the girl’s words still made him happy.
“Not a big matter.” Mr. Qin reached out to pat Su Bei’s head. He then raised his eyebrows and said: “Or, do you think I will be disadvantaged?”
Su Bei: Alright…
Su Bei finally revealed her true motive: “I actually want to see how Dad solves the bad guys.”
Su Bei recently read a lot of news about Song Group on the internet: Some said that many of their major projects were suspended entirely due to violating the regulations. Some said that their capital chain has been broken. Even more, some were speculating that Song Group might not be able to survive this crisis and might have to declare bankruptcy.
In the novel, after Mr. Qin seriously injured and was hospitalized, the male lead had a smooth journey and his career progressed by leaps and bounds. How could something like this happened.
Su Bei also thought: In this life, nothing went wrong and Mr. Qin was also not injured. If the situation developed according to the current trend, maybe Mr. Qin could really be able to completely reverse the ending of the novel.
And so, Su Bei didn’t want to miss this historical moment.
“Dad, take me with you, okay?” Su Bei used her ultimate tactic: blinking at Mr. Qin with a pitiful look.
Seeing the insistence in his daughter’s gaze, helplessness flashed through Mr. Qin’s eyes, “Go up and change your clothes.”
Su Bei’s eyes instantly lit up, and she inwardly exclaimed: So this is effective!
“Okay! Dad, wait for me.”
“I will go too.” Su Xiaobao spoke.
Qin Shao: “What are you going for? To add more commotion?”
Su Xiaobao: “I’ve finished my homework.”
Qin Shao: “……”

When Qin Shao’s family of three arrived in Jinxi Garden, Song Yancheng and Lin You have been there. The couple was sitting in the living room with the two elders. This scene was very similar to the Mid-Autumn Festival, but one person was missing: Song Xinyi did not come today.
Song Xinyi has dropped out of Weiming Middle School. However, she didn’t go abroad to continue her studies in a low-key manner as Su Bei expected, but joined a movie crew. Apparently, it was a movie with an intricate youth struggle theme. The director initially planned to make some preparations and only started shooting two or three years later. Perhaps it was because of Song Xinyi’s eagerness to restore her reputation and public image through acting work, which resulted in the filming schedule to be advanced. Right now, Song Xinyi was probably in a certain small city with the crew.
Because of the arrival of Qin Shao and his two children, the heavy atmosphere became even more suffocating.
“Grandpa, grandma.” Su Bei pulled Su Xiaobao’s hand, and the twins greeted Qin Jinguo and Chen Xueyan together. Although the two elders didn’t agree with Qin Shao bringing the children over, since the grandchildren greeted them, they nodded back kindly.
“Go upstairs. Let’s talk in the study.” Qin Jinguo prepared to get up from the sofa.
“No need. Let’s talk here.” Qin Shao replied coldly. “I’m not hiding anything shameful. Just say whatever needs to be said here.” He gave Song Yancheng a sharp glance.
“Qin Shao, what do you mean?” Song Yancheng got up and confronted Qin Shao angrily.
Qin Shao: “Literally.”
“Enough. Have you two not made enough commotion after so many years?” Qin Jinguo interrupted.
