Chapter 231: Chapter 231 The Return of the Wealthy Lady (1)

An Yiqing and the rest of the An Family had left, and suddenly the villa exploded with commotion. The An Family’s daughter, missing for nineteen years, had been found, and the news spread like a whirlwind starting from the Qin Family’s villa and sweeping outward!

Amidst the buzzing whispers, a hoarse yet forceful voice grew from a distance.

"Hahaha! Old Qin, I’m late! My sincere apologies!" A white-haired, youthful-faced elderly man with a walking cane strode into the banquet hall, laughing heartily. Although his hair had turned white, his face was not heavily wrinkled. He appeared to be in his fifties. His features were ordinary, but the inverted triangular whites of his eyes added an intimidating air to his countenance.

This elderly man was none other than the Patriarch of the Gu Family, Guh Tian!

Upon seeing Guh Tian, Qin Dingshan quickly shed his gloomy demeanor and welcomed him with a beaming smile, "Brother Gu, it’s been ages since we’ve seen each other! Your presence at my birthday celebration truly graces the Qin Family with honor!"

"Brother Qin, you flatter me! With the friendship between us, how could I not be here?!" Guh Tian’s face was full of smiles, implying a good relationship with Qin Dingshan. He looked around and asked in confusion, "What happened just now? The mood doesn’t seem too pleasant."

Qin Dingshan’s face stiffened, and he replied with a forced smile, "Young people these days don’t know any better. They injured our Jiajia’s arm, but the young lady comes from a prominent family—we can’t afford to offend her!"

"That’s outrageous!" Guh Tian’s face flushed with anger, "Who has the audacity to take such liberties, even disregarding you, Brother Qin?"

"Who else could it be?" Qin Fang said sarcastically, standing by Qin Dingshan’s side, "Isn’t it An Yiqing, the owner of Yuyuanzhai? Somehow, that woman stumbled upon the good fortune to be transformed into the treasured daughter the An Family had lost for so many years!"

Guh Tian, after hearing Qin Fang’s words, wore a strange expression and pursed his lips, but said nothing further.

"Brother Gu, please take a seat for a moment. I have some family matters to tend to." Qin Dingshan glared fiercely at Qin Fang and then commanded, "Qin Fang, Qin Jia! Follow me to the study!"

"Ouch! Dear, Jiajia’s arm is still broken!" Qin Jia’s mother was displeased to hear this and quickly attempted to block Qin Dingshan.

"Her arm is broken?" Qin Dingshan raised an eyebrow and looked disdainfully at Xiao Shulan, saying impatiently, "Serves her right! Look at what your son and daughter have done! Such a great contribution to the Qin Family’s reputation indeed! Qin Han, help me upstairs!"

"Yes, Grandfather!" The young man who had been following Qin Dingshan obediently flashed a simple smile and respectfully assisted Qin Dingshan upstairs, leaving Qin Fang, Qin Jia, and Xiao Shulan looking at each other in dismay.

"Are you not coming? Do you want that bastard to get the upper hand?!" Xiao Shulan shot Qin Han a venomous look, glaring at her children with exasperation and hissing through clenched teeth.

With a snort of contempt, Qin Fang irritably grabbed Qin Jia, whose face was white with pain, and they both headed upstairs.

Study on the Second Floor

Qin Dingshan stood before the desk, with the young man, Qin Han, who had supported him, respectfully standing on his right. Qin Fang and Qin Jia were positioned behind Qin Dingshan.

"Grandfather, my arm really hurts!" Qin Jia said in a frail and whiny tone to Qin Dingshan, who had his back to her, "That An Yiqing clearly has no regard for our Qin Family! Grandfather, you must give her a proper lesson—"

"Slap!"

Before Qin Jia could finish her sentence, Qin Dingshan suddenly spun around and slapped her hard across the face, sending her crashing to the ground!
