Chapter 446: Chapter 446: What are you saying to Grandpa?

Old Master Quan was "politely" asked to leave the family estate by Quan Jinbei, and many people had their criticisms about it.

However, Quan Jinbei didn’t care about their sour words.

Even if some thought his actions were inappropriate, they wouldn’t dare to confront him about it.

Given this, why should he care?

...

Quan Jinbei’s "stroke of genius" truly gave everyone quite a shocking surprise.

Quan Sicheng, as the pitiable bug who was kicked out of the house once again, had quite nuanced feelings about it.

He had believed that Quan Jinbei’s illness was worsening.

Since the old master had invited him back home, he assumed he would have no worries.

But now it seems, clearly...

He was thinking too wishfully.

Even the old master couldn’t influence Quan Jinbei’s thoughts.

Now, good enough, not only didn’t Sicheng gain any advantage, but he also ended up dragging the old master into his mess.

He didn’t mind that the old master was dragged down by him; what he was more concerned about was that after being dragged down by him, the old master wouldn’t be able to offer him any more benefits.

What difference was there then between him and an ordinary grumpy old man?

Thinking up to here, his expression became terribly gloomy.

The Old Master Quan saw this expression of his.

Since his own expression wasn’t much better, he did not take issue with it.

At the moment, the old master was shrouded in a cloud of darkness.

Quan Jinbei was truly an unfilial and disrespectful scoundrel!

What right did he have?

What right did he have to drive his own father out of the house?

What qualification did he have?

If it wasn’t for him giving Quan Jinbei life, what would Quan Jinbei amount to?

Old Master Quan felt indignant in his heart, but it was completely ineffective.

It wasn’t just him; the butler was also driven out.

Of course, they couldn’t openly say he was driven away.

It was said that he was too old and not suitable for hard work anymore.

They had no choice but to "invite" him out.

The butler, as he looked at the firmly closed doors of the old house and the three people who looked quite dejected, felt for the first time an emotion called regret.

If he had known the old master would be so useless, he should never have taken such a risk in the first place.

Now look at what happened.

He followed the old master, did the dirty work, but didn’t gain any benefits.

At this thought, he could hardly wait to go back and slap some sense into himself.

Wouldn’t it have been fine if he had just sided with the Third Master earlier?

If he were on the Third Master’s side, what glory would he not have enjoyed?

Why suffer like this?

Reflecting on how smoothly the previous years had gone for him, if he hadn’t overdone it this time by following the old master, he would never have ended up in such a plight.

The regretful butler had no way of changing the current state of affairs.

He could do nothing but watch as his position was stripped away, and see his colleagues suffer the same fate.

Old Master Quan learned that, in the period when Quan Jinbei had not shown up, those who had listened to him, deliberately targeting Quan Mansion and smearing Shi Yaoguang’s name online.

Whether they were the ones plotting or simply following orders, they were all dismissed from their positions.

Now, the old master had very few trustworthy people he could rely on, not to mention what these people might be thinking.

Not only whether they could keep their positions was at stake, but also whether Quan Jinbei was willing to spare them, which was the biggest issue.

Even if Quan Jinbei didn’t lay hands on them, they might not be willing to stay by the old master’s side and assist him anymore.

After all...

Everyone knew that Old Master Quan and Third Master Quan were at odds.

The result was being unceremoniously "invited" out of the house.

If the old master himself ended up like this, what about those under his command?

Bearing this concern, whenever these people did anything, they couldn’t help but have a shadow in their hearts.

The patriarch looked at the people who were becoming harder to order around, and while he hated his own son, he also felt a twinge of regret at the bottom of his heart.

If he hadn’t done that thing back then, if he hadn’t been persuaded by Shi Yiqing to act against Shi Yaoguang, would things have turned out the way they are now?

Of course, that’s all in hindsight.

As for the patriarch’s current situation, he did not have an accurate understanding of it.

Even though he had been kicked out of his own house, he still felt a sense of superiority deep down.

He was once the helmsman of the Quan Family.

Even if he wasn’t now, his methods were still swift and fierce.

He believed that one day, he would make Quan Jinbei kneel down and call him Daddy!

Cough, let’s get back to the point.

The old man Quan wanted to give Quan Jinbei a lesson, also known as a show of force.

The best way was to act against Shi Yaoguang.

He couldn’t touch Quan Jinbei, but Shi Yaoguang... was she still unshakable to him?

In the patriarch’s eyes, even though Shi Yaoguang had become the top scorer in the college entrance exam, she was still just a lonely and helpless girl.

She had even been thrown out of her home.

Such a girl would not have achieved what she has today if not for relying on Quan Jinbei.

And his plan was to completely ruin her!

The patriarch’s idea was exactly what Shi Yiqing had in mind.

Shi Yiqing and Shi Yaoguang could never reconcile.

Since that was the case, having people join her side was clearly the best outcome.

If that couldn’t happen...

If it couldn’t happen, she would create the conditions to make it happen!

Old man Quan wasn’t unaware of Shi Yiqing’s schemes.

But to him, that was no longer important.

His focus now was solely on Shi Yaoguang.

"Grandpa, what are you planning to do?"

Shi Yiqing eagerly inquired about old man Quan’s opinion.

Old man Quan had been driven out of his ancestral home and surely lost face.

But, having lived for so many years, he couldn’t possibly have no connections at all.

As long as he could still help her, that meant he was a useful person.

"Hmph," the patriarch snorted coldly, saying to Shi Yiqing: "That woman wants to make it in the entertainment industry, doesn’t she?"

Shi Yiqing nodded, her tone filled with indignation, "She doesn’t just want to make it in the entertainment industry! I believe her ultimate goal is to climb over me to the top!"

Talking about this made her feel wronged.

With a grievance, she wouldn’t keep it hidden.

And so, she expressed it outright.

"At the film set, she deliberately set me up! It led to my detention, I wasn’t prepared for her then, so I fell into her trap. Now that I’m on guard, I definitely won’t be outsmarted by her!"

The patriarch glanced at her, not believing her bold declaration.

"Don’t just talk the talk!"

He stamped his foot, his tone even more menacing, "I want you to make her pay a price!"

Daring to disrupt his plans, he definitely wouldn’t let that girl off easily!

Old man Quan was wishful in his thinking.

In his view, the reason Quan Jinbei had slipped out of control was all because of Shi Yaoguang.

By suppressing her, it would be a blow to Quan Jinbei as well.

And for him, pressing down on a young girl was nothing but easy.

The only reason he hadn’t done so before was simply that he was too lazy to act.

Now that Shi Yaoguang had stepped on his landmine, he naturally wouldn’t let her off easily.

...

After old man Quan was driven out of the Quan Mansion, he temporarily moved into an apartment that Quan Sicheng had formerly lived in.

Noticing Shi Yiqing and the patriarch conspiring in a secretive manner, Quan Sicheng became curious.

"Qingqing, what are you and Grandpa whispering about?"
