"You beast, what did you say? You are Xiao Lan's fiancé? Since when has it been your business, you beast, to butt in on Qin family matters!"
The Great-Grandmother was fine until Ye Fei spoke. As soon as she heard him, she immediately yelled in anger!
"Heh! I'm not butting in. I'm merely stating a fact!"
"We are not returning to this Qin family! That's it!"
After Ye Fei finished speaking, he hung up the phone before the Great-Grandmother could spout any more nonsense.
"Ye Fei! Are you crazy?"
"Brother-in-law!"
Seeing Ye Fei speak to the Great-Grandmother like that, the two women exclaimed in shock.
"Have you forgotten what I said yesterday? You can live better and be more outstanding without the Qin family!"
"But the Qin family cannot do without you! If this old woman truly wants you back, she should show some sincerity and beg you!"
"Remember what I told you before: if you are weak and show appeasement, they will take advantage and not take you seriously!"
"Conversely, if you are stronger, they will lick your boots and beg you like dogs!"
Ye Fei directly described the Qin family's Great-Grandmother as a dog in front of Qin Jun and his son!
"You!"
It was better when Ye Fei didn't speak like this. Now that he had, Qin Jun and his son's faces drastically changed, filled with anger.
Ring ring! Ring ring!
At this moment, the phone Ye Fei had just hung up rang again!
Ye Fei held up his phone, showing the caller ID to Qin Bing and Qin Lan, and answered the call.
"Old woman, what else is there?"
After answering the phone, Ye Fei showed no deference and spoke without politeness.
Swish! Swish!
The two women's faces drastically changed upon hearing Ye Fei's words.
They moved their lips, seemingly wanting to say something, but the words caught in their throats, and they didn't know how to express them.
Although Ye Fei's words were a bit overbearing, they had deeply shaken them.
"What do you want?"
After Ye Fei finished speaking, the Great-Grandmother did not explode in anger but fell silent.
At this moment, she was no longer pretending to be a good Great-Grandmother!
As someone who had lived for a hundred years, she knew that playing on emotions worked for Qin Bing and Qin Lan, but it had no effect on Ye Fei whatsoever!
"What do I want?"
Ye Fei sneered and said, "I don't want anything. It seems you, old woman, have been the one being aggressive!"
"Since you've already expelled this thirteenth branch from the Qin family, and directly removed them from the family tree yesterday, why should we compromise? Why should we go back?"
Others might not understand the gravity of the situation, but how could Ye Fei not?
That woman Bai Ruge definitely did more than just remove the Qin family from the Nine Dragons Chamber of Commerce's candidate list!
It was no exaggeration to say that if the Qin family's Great-Grandmother did not handle this matter properly, it was uncertain whether the Qin family would even exist in Jiangdong in the future!
And yesterday, Ye Fei had already made up his mind!
If this old woman of the Qin family truly didn't know her place, then this branch, led by Qin Bing, would replace them! They would establish a new Qin family!
Of course, Ye Fei hadn't told Qin Bing and Qin Lan about this yet, fearing it might scare them.
Beside him, Qin Bing and Qin Lan listened to Ye Fei's words, their hearts tense, not daring to breathe.
They had never imagined that one day someone would dare to speak to the Great-Grandmother like this.
What's more, even though Ye Fei kept calling her "old woman," the Great-Grandmother didn't seem to care!
Was this a hallucination from not sleeping well last night?
"What do you want to be willing to return to the Qin family?"
After a moment of deep thought, the old matriarch of the Qin family asked again.
Swish! Swish!
Initially, Qin Bing and Qin Lan were worried that Ye Fei's words might have enraged the Great-Grandmother.
However, to their surprise, after Ye Fei's words, not only did the Great-Grandmother not get angry, but she instead asked Ye Fei about the conditions for his return.
"Heh!"
Upon hearing the Great-Grandmother's words, Ye Fei suddenly laughed.
His expression showed no surprise!
This scene further stirred the hearts of the two women, leaving them utterly shocked!
What did Ye Fei do yesterday when he went out for a while?
Was he holding a knife to the Great-Grandmother's throat, forcing her to agree?
But that didn't seem right either.
If he were truly holding a knife to her throat, her reaction wouldn't be like this.
"That depends on your sincerity, old woman! Perhaps Bing Bing, Xiao Lan, and even the Old Master, will not blame you for removing them from the family tree."
"But I do not agree. As Xiao Lan's fiancé from the thirteenth branch, my temper is quite short! I am quite irritable!"
"If I'm unhappy, I won't hide it and will speak my mind directly. Whoever dares to mess with my wife's branch, I will retaliate tenfold, a hundredfold!"
"If you want us to return, then personally bring the entire Qin family, all twelve branches, to invite us! And publish a public apology!"
"Oh, and the thirteenth branch, thirteen isn't too good, I think number one is better! No. 1, that's better!"
Ye Fei was extremely domineering. Although his words were crude, his meaning was very clear!
"You!"
Even with the Great-Grandmother's good temper, upon hearing Ye Fei's words, she instantly became furious and enraged!
To personally bring the twelve branches of the Qin family to invite them?
Not only that, but they wanted to beg them to return to the Qin family, and even change their ranking in the family tree, intending to be the first branch!
What an outrageous condition!
"Impossible! I can agree to the first condition of you apologizing, but a public apology and changing the family tree are absolutely impossible!"
The Great-Grandmother took a deep breath, her voice filled with anger, and said decisively.
"Then there's nothing to discuss."
After Ye Fei finished speaking, he hung up the phone again and tossed it to Qin Jun, who was not far away.
Then, Ye Fei's gaze fell upon Qin Bing and Qin Lan. "Pack your things, let's go!"
Ye Fei didn't waste any more words and directly told Qin Bing and Qin Lan to pack their things and leave immediately.
The two women exchanged glances, their hearts in turmoil.
But they said nothing and immediately turned back into the house.
"Brother-in-law, I feel like the Great-Grandmother agreeing to your first condition is enough. This... represents that the Great-Grandmother has sincerely admitted her mistake and made a concession..."
Once inside the house, Qin Bing quickly closed the door and turned to look at Ye Fei, saying.
"Heh, I say, Bing Bing, do you little girls only have such limited ambition?"
"Then let me ask you, if that old woman comes and gives you a perfunctory apology, what will you be able to achieve when you return to the main Qin family?"
"The Qin family is already a small cake, long since divided by those people."
Ye Fei smiled and looked at Qin Bing, retorting.
Although Qin Bing knew Ye Fei's words made sense, having lived in the family since childhood, her mindset was completely different from Ye Fei's.
In her opinion, if she could return to the Qin family, no matter the manner, she would be satisfied.
Not only her, but her sister Qin Lan also felt the same!
However, from Ye Fei's intentions, it seemed he was not planning to compromise.
"Ye Fei, what's going on with the Nine Dragons Chamber of Commerce removing the Qin family from the candidate list?"
Qin Lan's gaze fell on Ye Fei, and after some thought, she asked.
"What else could it be? They just took a dislike to them and removed the old woman of the Qin family?"
Ye Fei looked at Qin Lan in confusion and said so.
Qin Lan, "..."
Qin Bing, "..."
The two women were speechless upon hearing Ye Fei's words.
It was spoken so casually, so matter-of-factly! This was simply too overbearing!
"I told you before, only when you are strong can you reason with people. If you are weak, will others pay attention to you?"
"Like what happened yesterday, was it our fault? Why did the Great-Grandmother listen to slander, favor Qin Jun and the others, and expel you from the family tree despite your earnest pleas, when it wasn't our fault?"
