Chapter 2051 - 2041: Old Man, You’re Sick

The Qin Family is considered one of the few grand families!

There are many clan members.

Direct lines, branch lines, and collateral lines are intricately intertwined.

It’s not much weaker than the Lin Family sect in Yanjing where Lin Tian belongs.

The comparison here naturally concerns wealth and power.

In terms of strength, they are not in the same league at all!

However many people there are, within the Qin Family, Qin Yuegu has always been Elder Qin’s favorite descendant!

Therefore.

Elder Qin provides Qin Yuegu with utmost care and resources in all aspects of life, study, and overseas education that can be considered.

Moreover, with Qin Yuegu’s parents absent, the Elder pampers her even more.

Qin Yuegu’s father ranks third among the three brothers of the Qin Family’s second generation, being the youngest.

Being loved by the Elder is only natural!

Yet, Qin Yuegu isn’t the most outstanding in all aspects of the family, which has sparked discontent among many Qin Family juniors.

Thus, many from the third generation have a hard time with Qin Yuegu.

Even her uncles and aunts from the first and second branches look unfavorably upon her!

For Qin Yuegu alone commands nearly one-fifth of the Qin Family’s resources!

Not to mention investing in the Muyan Group and controlling a billion-dollar company outside.

Several major family industry projects and numerous family-owned companies are under Qin Yuegu’s management!

In terms of business management within the Qin Family, Qin Yuegu is unsurpassed, and the Elder trusts her greatly.

But one person controlling so many family industries has made many resentful!

Lately.

The Bai Family proposed an alliance by mentioning the marriage engagement between Mr. Bai and Qin Yuegu.

However, with Qin Yuegu’s overwhelming attitude and Elder Qin’s doting, this matter kept being postponed!

This direct angered the Bai Family, and the Qin Family is really having a hard time now!

The family suspects Qin Yuegu is gradually losing favor!

The opportunity is at hand!

And now.

It’s heard that Qin Yuegu found a boyfriend without breaking off the engagement with the Bai Family, cohabiting with him, and that he even beat up Mr. Bai.

These events have started spreading in the Qin Family over the past two days.

This has made many gloat!

When Lin Tian and Qin Yuegu entered the Qin Family hall, they instantly drew various meaningful glances.

Inside the hall.

It’s already filled with people.

At least thirty to forty people at a glance.

In the central main seat of the hall, an elder with graying hair sat, a benevolent smile on his face.

In front of him, piled with many gifts, everything imaginable.

It’s obvious.

Just before, everyone in the Qin Family had given birthday gifts to the Elder.

"Xiao Gu, you’re finally back! The whole family is waiting for you now!"

A heavily made-up woman sitting beside him spoke mockingly to Qin Yuegu.

At the same time.

Her gaze began to scrutinize Lin Tian up and down.

Click!

The woman snorted disdainfully, her eyes full of contempt.

Lin Tian’s attire was too casual, like a country bumpkin who just came to town.

Is he fit for our Qin Family?

But the more it is like this, the broader the woman’s smile grew.

Being with such a countryside boy, Qin Yuegu is sure to become a figure of ridicule.

This is a great opportunity to bring her down!

"Xiao Gu, the man you finally chose is him? You have such great taste!"

The woman asked knowingly, her words tinged with subtle sarcasm and mockery.

She was speaking ironically, which couldn’t be more obvious.

Following Qin Yuegu’s entrance, Lin Tian naturally felt the derisive and ill-intentioned glances directed at him.

At this moment.

After hearing the woman’s words, he found it amusing internally.

Any family, once it’s strong or large enough, inevitably deals with endless open and hidden struggles.

No matter how close the bloodline, it doesn’t matter, many people will revolve around benefits!

"Lin Tian, she’s my aunt!"

Qin Yuegu naturally heard the undertone in the woman’s words, but she seemed accustomed to the atmosphere, paid no heed, and began introducing Lin Tian one by one.

Within the Qin Family.

Besides the collateral and suffocating ones, Elder Qin has three sons, the eldest Qin Wushuang, the second Qin Wuhui, and the third Qin Wuyi!

After the generation bearing the name Wu come Qin Yuegu and other juniors!

Among them, Qin Wuhui is Qin Yuegu’s father.

It’s just that her father, who followed her mother abroad, disappeared after her mother died overseas!

This matter.

Most people in the Qin Family are unaware.

Only the Elder knows!

They say internally and externally that Qin Yuegu’s parents are doing business abroad!

The woman who spoke earlier is the wife of the eldest Qin Wushuang, You Yunxue.

Following this, Qin Yuegu briefly introduced several key figures to Lin Tian before taking him to Elder Qin.

"Grandfather, I’m back!"

Qin Yuegu stepped forward and addressed Elder Qin with a delightful smile.

She then held Qin Mu’s hand and pointed to Lin Tian, saying, "Grandfather, this is Lin Tian!"

"Hello, Grandfather!"

If you’re going to act, act thoroughly, Lin Tian didn’t put on airs and greeted Elder Qin with a smile.

"Good, good, good... as long as you’re back!"

Elder Qin held Qin Yuegu’s hand with a doting expression, while he looked Lin Tian over, nodded, and said, "No matter what, I believe in my granddaughter’s judgment! If you like him, then I support you! As for the Bai Family, the old man will sort it out!"

Although he said this, the old eyes of Elder Qin still flickered with moments of heaviness.

"Grandfather... Today is your birthday; let’s not talk about unhappy things! And, grandfather, did you have your health checked today?"

Qin Yuegu hurriedly interrupted Elder Qin, changing the topic, and said, "I told you before, you must have a simple health examination every day, so there’s no lingering illness!"

"Haha... girl, rest assured, grandfather is quite healthy!"

Elder Qin patted Qin Yuegu’s hand, shook his head, and laughed, "The weakness is actually from an old injury sustained during the South Sea campaign! It’s a hidden injury, causing long-term damage leading to a bit of weakness, but it’s really nothing serious!"

In his youth, Elder Qin was a soldier who earned great merit during the Huaxia South Sea War!

Yet, beneath the glorious accomplishments lay the cost.

His lungs were hit by bullets, forcing him to retire early and return to Mizhou City for treatment, later leading to recovery.

But the hidden injury persisted for years, unnoticed in youth, only to gradually resurface in old age, causing his weakened health.

However, the hidden injury isn’t fatal, so it’s not a major issue!

"That’s good!"

Qin Yuegu let out a relieved sigh.

"My dear sister, what gift did you bring for grandfather this time? Won’t it be another game?"

At this moment, a young man sitting beside You Yunxue looked over and spoke to Qin Yuegu, "And I wonder what gift my cousin-in-law will bring?"

The young man is Qin An, Qin Wushuang’s and You Yunxue’s son, but younger than Qin Yuegu, thus her cousin!

However.

Qin Yuegu ignored him and directly took out two physical games from her bag, "Grandfather, these are the latest games, bought together with Lin Tian, you will definitely like them!"

"And this... is Wenting Grass for soothing the lungs, the seeds can be held in the mouth, the roots and leaves can be brewed in boiling water to drink! I asked some friends overseas to retrieve this earlier, and now it’s finally at hand!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Qin was delighted, taking the game, looking it over, and feeling quite excited.

He then took the Wenting Grass, picked up a seed, and placed it in his mouth, laughing heartily, "Xiao Gu is indeed the most considerate!"

Such a scene made many in the Qin Family hall feel uncomfortable.

Many people had given precious paintings and gems, even games, yet none made the Elder this happy!

"Elder, you’re ill!"

Suddenly, Lin Tian, standing beside Qin Yuegu, stepped forward with furrowed brows, solemnly addressing Elder Qin.

As soon as the words came out, the Qin Family hall fell silent, and many looked astonished.
