Chapter 718: Chapter 718: Definitely Up to No Good as They Grow Up Chapter 718: Chapter 718: Definitely Up to No Good as They Grow Up She asked softly, “What are you smiling at?”

Qin Yuan merely raised an eyebrow, cryptically saying, “When there’s good news, naturally I’ll smile.”

Madam Qin became even more confused, feeling only that this son of hers had been gloomy lately, which made her quite afraid.

After waiting a while longer, the great-uncle lost his patience, his face stern, he said irritably to the lawyer, “I think he won’t come, just go ahead and read the will.”

The lawyer found it difficult, “I’m afraid that won’t work, second master, please don’t make it difficult for me. The family head was very clear when he was not bedridden; he instructed that all his descendants must be present when the will is announced.”

The great-uncle snorted through his nose and scoffed, “What a waste of time.” Then he muttered quietly to himself, “Only when old does he think of making amends, afraid that others might not want it anymore.”

Qin Yuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table, calmly spoke, “Great-uncle, since it’s my grandfather’s wish, perhaps we should wait a bit longer.”

He could not keep the corners of his mouth from turning upward.

They could wait forever for all he cared.

Seeing this, Madam Qin’s eyes immediately moistened; she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and began to complain, “My poor father has become like this, still thinking of him, yet he refuses to even call him grandfather. If he doesn’t want to call him, that’s fine, but why throw a tantrum, making us wait so long… Ah, it’s so disappointing.”

The great-uncle hated it when people cried in front of him, and a bit unwilling to deal with them, he simply said, “The man is not even dead yet, what are you crying about, do you wish your father would die sooner?”

Madam Qin: “…”

Madam Qin’s tears receded in a second, and she awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth, “Great-uncle, aren’t you wronging me? I never thought that way, I just feel it’s unfair for my father.”

She wiped away the still wet tear streaks, her voice sorrowful, “My father also wants to find them, it’s just that he couldn’t, hence the delay all these years. Now that he’s found them, isn’t he making amends, even insisting that they be present to announce the will?”

The great-uncle was not involved in Qin family affairs, so he was unaware of many things.

Hearing Madam Qin’s words, he also found them somewhat reasonable.

Though his biological half-brother was no good, it still seemed improper for a grandson not to visit even once when his own grandfather was about to die.

He hadn’t even seen the person, yet he was already a little dissatisfied with Lu Shiran.

Definitely an unruly brat, daring to make him wait so long, did he not know his time was precious?

He looked around once more, puzzled, he asked, “How come I don’t see Qin Xuan?”

Of the entire Qin family, only Qin Xuan could capture his interest, as she was the only girl among the younger generation of the Qins, and she was adorable as a child.

“Oh that…”

Madam Qin’s expression stiffened, really embarrassed to say her own daughter had done something wrong.

Without hesitation, she placed all the blame on Qiao Yun.

She also took this opportunity to hint to the family members that this Qiao Yun was no good thing and definitely should not be allowed to marry Qin Yuan as his wife.

Thus she began to talk nonstop, “Great-uncle, you don’t know, Xuanxuan has been terribly wronged…”

There was this girl named Qiao Yun, who meddled in Qin Xuan’s relationship and kept causing her trouble.

Pushed to the edge, Qin Xuan impulsively did something rash and broke the law of China and got arrested.

She even humbly pleaded with them for forgiveness.

The other party was relentless, determined to have her daughter imprisoned…

“Right, this Qiao Yun, she’s a young lady from the Lu family, my nephew’s cousin. Because of this connection, my father feared upsetting my nephew, and simply…”

Madam Qin trailed off, sighing deeply, “made me turn a blind eye.”

The great-uncle’s sense of justice surged instantly, and he developed a disgust for this Qiao Yun whom he had never met, “Meddling in someone else’s relationship is truly shameful! At such a young age, not learning good manners, how could she be a pillar of the state in the future, she will definitely not turn out well.”

Madam Qin fanned the flames, “Exactly, she also seduced Shengqiao’s Pei Ya, taking advantage of her backing to embarrass me publicly.”

Qin Yuan glanced at his mother, who was fervently defaming everyone from the Lu family, then withdrew his gaze.

He knew his mother had been feeling frustrated recently, letting her vent a bit didn’t really matter.

“She’s simply morally corrupt!” The great-uncle was shocked in his values, to have ensnared Pei Ya, this young girl’s tactics must be exceptionally clever.

He grimaced in disgust, “It seems that those surnamed Lu are no good people.”

Mrs. Qin nodded in agreement and took the opportunity to say, “Uncle, don’t you know quite a few people up there, I wonder if there is a way…”

Before she could finish, she saw her uncle’s face darken, and her heart skipped a beat. She smiled again, “I was just saying.”

Uncle pretended not to hear her aggravating words and calmly picked up his teacup, sipping his tea.

Mrs. Qin felt aggrieved within.

It was just a small favor, was it that necessary…

She, unwillingly, opened her mouth, wanting to say something more.

At that moment, the door to the meeting room opened.

Qin Yuan’s eyelids twitched.

At this time, who else could it be but Lu Shiran?

But, that’s impossible!

Lu Shiran shouldn’t appear anymore, including in the future.

Qin Yuan abruptly turned his head to look.

When he saw who had entered, he paused for a moment, and then his eyes scrutinized her openly, sizing her up from head to toe.

The person who entered was Qiao Yun.

Her pale little face looked somewhat listless, as if she couldn’t muster any energy.

Qin Yuan’s gaze grew even more bare.

He indeed quite liked Qiao Yun’s face. If he applied those manipulative tactics on her, he wondered what expression she would show?

It was truly something to look forward to.

Qiao Yun furrowed her brows, disliking Qin Yuan’s gaze.

Zhou You’s eyes darkened. Being worldly and knowledgeable, how could he not understand the meaning behind Qin Yuan’s gaze?

Suddenly, anger surged within him. Dare to insult Professor Qiao?

He stepped forward, blocking Qiao Yun from Qin Yuan’s malicious gaze, and glared fiercely into Qin Yuan’s eyes.

Look at you, damn it.

Qin Yuan, struck by Zhou You’s gaze, inexplicably felt a chill up his spine.

He suddenly felt alarmed.

Qiao Yun’s bodyguard didn’t look simple, almost as if he really had killed and seen blood.

The aura of killing intent and blood on him was too obvious.

Could the Lu Family afford to hire such a person as a bodyguard?

Even if they could afford it, such unrestrained wild wolves wouldn’t likely submit.

Qin Yuan felt a strange sensation in his heart, but then he thought of the Qiao Family…

Could it be that this person was sent by the Qiao Family to protect Qiao Yun?

Mrs. Qin abruptly stood up from her chair, anger in her voice, “Qiao Yun! What are you doing here? Is this a place you should be?”

Upon hearing the name Qiao Yun, Uncle’s brows furrowed.

Wasn’t this the girl his niece was incessantly complaining about, the one who meddled in other people’s relationships and played the mistress?

He immediately looked up with disgust without even thinking, and blurted out, “An ill-mannered little girl…”
