Chapter 323: Chapter 323: The Furious Gu Family and Qin Family (5)

"Humph! Sister-in-law, do you still expect my incompetent brother to save you?! Qin Fang and Qin Jia deserve what they got, why are you stopping my dad?" Qin Yu looked disdainfully at the Qin Family’s Second Son, then mocked Xiao Shulan with a sneer.

Xiao Shulan had no time to argue with Qin Yu at the moment. Qin Dingshan was using all his strength this time, trying to beat her two children to death, and Xiao Shulan felt she was about to fail in holding him back.

At that moment, a tall and upright figure walked in from outside the mansion.

"Grandfather, please, calm down," Qin Han said as he entered the door and saw Qin Dingshan furiously beating the siblings with his cane. He quickly stepped forward to hold back Qin Dingshan, then anxiously said to Xiao Shulan, "Aunt! Hurry and take Jiajia and Qin Fang back to their bedroom!"

Upon hearing Qin Han’s words, Xiao Shulan was startled and looked at him with a complex expression, then hurriedly had the servants help Qin Fang and Qin Jia to the second floor.

"Grandfather, please, calm down! Calm down!" As Qin Fang and Qin Jia left, Qin Han breathed a sigh of relief and turned his full attention to soothing Qin Dingshan.

"Qin Han!" Qin Dingshan glared furiously at Qin Han and thundered, "What were you doing at that time? How could you allow these two beasts to cause such a disaster!"

At this moment, Qin Dingshan was so furious he had lost all reason, wishing he could have Qin Han, Qin Fang, and Qin Jia dismembered by five horses! The Qin Family was the most important thing in his heart; it represented power, wealth, and fame. However, after today’s scandal, the Qin Family was bound to become the laughingstock of Xuandu City and even Xuanjin!

"Grandfather," Qin Han said, lowering his head, standing respectfully in front of Qin Dingshan, "It’s all my fault. With the Jade Stone Association keeping me busy making connections with different forces, I’ve been somewhat negligent in supervising Qin Fang and Jiajia. It’s my mistake! Grandfather, please don’t blame them. Qin Fang and Jiajia are young and ignorant. It’s my fault for not setting a good example as an elder brother."

Qin Han spoke with sincerity, taking all the blame upon himself without pointing any fingers at the siblings.

Qin Dingshan felt a lump in his throat as if his punch had landed on cotton. Had Qin Han argued back, he would have exploded with rage. But the self-reproach and guilt shown by his eldest grandson softened Qin Dingshan’s heart.

"Ah! My fault!" Qin Dingshan slumped into the sofa, looking utterly exhausted, "It’s understandable that you’re busy and can’t be in two places at once with so many powerful members in the Jade Stone Association. It’s those two beasts who not only failed to assist you but also caused such a disaster! I really should not have let them go with you!"

Qin Han slowly crouched down and looked up at Qin Dingshan sitting on the sofa, saying, "Grandfather, please don’t blame yourself. This matter is not irredeemable. With proper handling, the Qin Family will remain as it always has been."

"Oh?" Qin Dingshan’s eyes snapped open to look at Qin Han, and after pondering for a moment, he stood up, walking towards the study as he said, "Qin Han, come to the study with me!"

After nodding to the elders in the living room, Qin Han followed Qin Dingshan to the second floor.

In the living room, upon seeing Qin Dingshan leave, the Qin Family’s Second Son breathed a huge sigh of relief, feeling a great burden lifted off his shoulders.

However, Qin Yu, who was usually astute, stared uncertainly at the corner where the second floor met the stairs.

In the Guh Family Mansion,

Guh Tian sat quietly on the sofa in the living room just like Qin Dingshan, waiting. However, his expression was still acceptable. Although Guh Ruoyao was technically a part of the Guh Family, being from a collateral branch meant she had little impact on Guh Tian. Moreover, the scandal of two sisters serving one husband, at most, indicated a decadent lifestyle, which would not inflict a devastating blow.

Guh Tian was waiting for Guh Siqing and Ah Chen at this time. As for the good-for-nothing Guh Siqi, Guh Tian had already excluded him. Guh Tian was well aware of the challenge Guh Siqing issued yesterday, but he was yet to be informed of today’s developments. Normally, some members of the Guh Family should have kept track and reported back instantly, but given the devastating loss and brutal beating Guh Siqing endured, they were too panicked and busy to send any news back to the Guh Family Mansion.
