When his anger subsided, the Old Patriarch busied himself with preparing for the Gu Garden’s New Year celebration, completely ignoring him.

This made Old Grand Master Qin glare furiously.

Gu Qiaoqiao found out and chuckled about it for quite a while.

He really is like an old child and a little kid.

Meanwhile, the news that Qin Yize was taking over the Qin Family business quickly spread throughout their circle.

Even Choo Lan from the East City found out.

The Choo Family’s business was primarily based in the East City, their ancestors’ place of fortune, even their ancestral hall was there, with deep roots naturally.

But lately, the Choo Family also wanted to expand into the Imperial Capital, and Choo Lan finally managed to secure a project to develop business there.

Looking at the responsibility document in her hand, she displayed a smug smile.

But the Second Uncle of the Qin Family was furious.

He shattered his favorite set of Ru Kiln tea sets.

At this point, Qin Yishan had almost recovered, and his wife was about to give birth. In fact, he had been quite pleased these days, thinking that the only thing he had over his eldest cousin in this life seemed to be that his child would be born earlier than his.

Hahaha, the more he thought about it, the more pleased he felt.

So, upon learning that his eldest cousin Qin Yize was about to take over the Qin Family business, he felt a sense of joy deep down because he knew his eldest cousin’s abilities best.

Among the family, he was the one who knew them best.

He even knew more specifics than Old Grand Master Qin because he had witnessed it with his own eyes, something that couldn’t be faked, which made him completely give up and accept it. He just hoped his eldest cousin would return home soon to manage the family business properly because, as members of the Qin Family, his three house’s children and grandchildren all held shares.

It’s common sense that a rising tide lifts all boats.

The money his father used to secretly make seemed substantial at the time, but after over a year of venturing outside, it seemed as though they’d been somewhat narrow-minded.

For example, working hard at the end of the year to make one hundred thousand, worrying about what would happen if Great Grandfather found out, and how to withstand Great Grandfather’s rage.

But if the Qin Family were managed well, the year-end dividends might exceed five hundred thousand, making it abundantly clear what’s more important. He was inspired by a story he heard at a conference from someone from Yun City about the Su family’s successful comeback to become Yun City’s richest family.

So as Qin Yishan came down the stairs, he pressed his right leg. It used to be difficult to go downstairs, but now it was fine. Halfway down the stairs, he saw his father, who had just thrown things around, and his mother, whose face was sullen and about to burst into a tirade.

His wife had already taken maternity leave and moved to stay with her parents, as he was the firstborn grandson of the second house, very precious. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

So when Qin Yishan was injured and couldn’t even take care of himself, his wife had to move to Qin Lang’s villa community with him.

She was currently taking a nap upstairs.

Qin Yishan glared at his father, quickened his pace down the stairs, and when he limped up to the Second Uncle of the Qin Family, he quickly grabbed his hand and said irritably, "Keep your voice down, my wife’s sleeping. By the way, this jade ashtray in your hand is worth at least ten thousand. If you don’t want it, give it to me. I still owe some money..."

Qin Lang stared blankly at his son, his only son, Qin Yishan, feeling more and more unfamiliar with him.

This shouldn’t be. Why was he so calm? Normally, at this time, his eldest son would have been hopping mad, wanting to settle accounts with Old Grand Master Qin.

"Son, are you okay?"

"I’m fine."

"Your eldest cousin is coming back, the Qin Family will be in his hands in the future, you won’t have any opportunities..."

"I’m still not fully recovered, what opportunities do I need?"

Qin Yishan replied indifferently.

Then he sat on the sofa with the white jade ashtray and even tapped his leg.

These few actions completely ignited Qin Lang’s anger, his chest heaving as he tried to calm down, but it clearly didn’t work.

He finally spoke.

With sinister eyes and a fierce expression.

"Your Great Grandfather had only one son and one daughter. The daughter is abroad, the son died for the country, leaving three grandsons. Logically, your eldest uncle, being the firstborn, should inherit the family business, but he likes academics and isn’t interested in these matters. Your third uncle is focused on his official career and doesn’t want to be involved in business. He’s happy with a bit of annual profit. Among the three grandsons, I was the one most interested in doing business. I even quit my job to manage the family business properly, thinking I could show your Great Grandfather my capabilities. But who would have thought, when your eldest cousin turned twelve, your Great Grandfather publicly announced him as the heir to the Qin Family’s business? A snotty twelve-year-old boy, riding on my neck like that. Son, tell me, wasn’t your Great Grandfather’s favoritism boundless?"

Qin Lang gritted his teeth, hands clenched into tight fists.

The Second Aunt reacted similarly. Since the accident, their family’s life had not been as enjoyable as before. The days when buying a coat cost an ordinary worker’s two years’ salary had become increasingly rare.

The money her son invested, she took half of it, so the money on hand was noticeably less ample.

When had she ever lived like this?

If it weren’t for Old Grand Master Qin’s favoritism, she could easily get money from anywhere now.

But now the power had been taken back. Originally, she thought it would return after some time. After all, there was no one in the Qin Family, aside from her husband and son, suitable for the position. Old Grand Master Qin, no matter how healthy he was, couldn’t keep this up forever, right?

So she wasn’t too worried.

She even took out her private savings for her son to invest and test the waters of doing business overseas.

But who would’ve thought, that little bastard actually came back.

Couldn’t he just stay at the base and not be content, but had to come back and compete for their position?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. "I think the Old Master is muddle-headed, with eyes and heart full of that brat. You and our son are nothing in his eyes. This Qin Yize is ruthless, he came back, how could we have any good days?"

Qin Yishan stood there frozen, digesting his parents’ words, realizing that his father was also eyeing that position. But wasn’t he always saying that position should be his, Qin Yishan’s?

And part of what his mother said, he agreed with. Qin Yize, his eldest cousin, indeed had a ruthless streak.

Thinking of this, Qin Yishan felt a chill and then shook his head. As long as he kept to himself, like in Port City and on the train, no matter how indifferent his eldest cousin was to him, he genuinely never mistreated him.

"Dad, Mom, have your constant grumblings about this since my brother was twelve ever worked?" Qin Yishan felt the need to remind his parents not to do anything rash that would upset his eldest brother.
