Winner Takes All Chapter 741-742

Chapter 741

Qin Xiaochen left.

Compared to when she arrived with a face full of fatigue and a slight frown on her brow, Qin Xiao Qian was clearly more relaxed when she was leaving.

A single Zhuang Chu, bearing the name of the richest man in Southern Jiangsu.

It was enough to make Qin Xiao Qian’s tactics go nowhere!

Now that Chen Dong has arrived, she has just seen hope.

When external forces were crushing the Qin family, they could only rely on external forces to solve the problem.

Zhuge Qing happened to go out and bumped into Qin Xiao Qian.

The two looked at each other with a nod.

Zhuge Qing said, “This has been a hard time for you, and things are much easier when Mr. Chen himself comes down.”

“Well, things outside have also been thanks to the Zhuge family’s help these past few days.” Qin Xiao Qian said gratefully.

The Qin family’s affairs had made her very anxious these past few days.

Because Qin Si’en’s family looked up to Zhuang Chu, it had caused the Qin family’s hearts to be floating, and some of the industries were quietly changing.

If it wasn’t for the Zhuge family being out there and helping Qin Xiao Qian suppress it at every turn.

The situation would have been even more distressing than it is now!

“It’s just a matter within the division.” Zhuge Qing did not care.

The Zhuge family had relied on Chen Dong to become the richest man in Western Shu and regain the glory of their former family.

This was not just a favour.

It was also the first step in the Zhuge Family’s decision to follow the dragon.

Now that the decision has been made, it is tantamount to stepping into the same boat. If they sit on the position of the richest man in Western Shu but stand by with folded arms to the Qin family under Chen Dong’s command, what else can they call being a follower of the dragon?

“Hopefully, things will be resolved soon, I’ll leave first, Brother Xiao Qing.”

Qin Xiao Qian nodded and was about to leave when she was called by Zhuge Qing.

“What’s wrong?” Qin Xiao Qian looked at Zhuge Qing in consternation, but found that Zhuge Qing looked a little odd.

Zhuge Qing’s lips were mouthing, and he said slowly, “Can you stop calling me Brother Xiao Qing, you can call me Brother Qing, adding the word Xiao, it always feels demonic and girly.”

Qin Xiao Qian froze for a moment, then reacted and covered her mouth and laughed lightly.

Looking at Qin Xiao Qian leaving, Zhuge Qing’s eyes shone brightly as he murmured softly.

“Mr. Chen himself, what’s a mere bookmaker worth?”

In his words, there was absolute confidence in Chen Dong.

Knock, knock, knock!

Zhuge Qing turned around and knocked on Chen Dong’s room door.

Only after receiving Chen Dong’s answer did he enter.

“You have met Xiao Qian?”

Chen Dong held his cup of tea and quietly sipped it.

“Well, I met her, and she is in a much better state than before.” Zhuge Qing nodded his head.

Chen Dong put down his teacup and said thankfully, “Thank you Zhuge family for helping Xiao Qian these few days as well.”

After understanding the causes and consequences of the matter.

Chen Dong also asked about some other things, and Qin Xiao Qian’s answers, made him very satisfied.

The incident of Zhou Yanqiu riding the wall on both sides at the beginning was something that stuck in Chen Dong’s throat even to this day.

It is also because of this reason that nowadays, in terms of resource allocation, Chen Dong is also intentionally more biased towards Zhou Zunlong by a few points.

Although taking in Zhou Zunlong was forceful suppression.

However, compared to Zhou Yanqiu’s profoundness, Zhou Zunlong, who has a temperamental personality, is obviously better to hold.

Chen Dong, on the other hand, is now worried about the Zhuge family.

The richest family in the world, if they still acted as Zhou Yanqiu did, the consequences would be unthinkable.

“There is no need to say thank you, grandfather has taught us, this is all part of what we in the Zhuge family should do.”

Even though the meaning in his words was already extremely obvious, his demeanour never wavered.

Chen Dong raised his eyebrows, “Is there something wrong?”

Zhuge Qing said, “Grandpa knows that Mr. Chen is arriving today, so he has specially set up a banquet at his home and invited Mr. Chen to visit the Zhuge family this evening, so that the Zhuge family can receive Mr. Chen.”

“No need, old sir, it is hard work, but I just want to settle the matter of the Qin family as soon as possible on this trip, and I will return home in a day or two, so there is no need for such an extravagance.”

Chen Dong waved his hand and simply declined Zhuge Qing’s invitation.

Zhuge Qing was stunned.

He opened his mouth to invite him again, but when he saw how determined Chen Dong looked, he held back.

He nodded, “Then I will go and report back to grandfather.”

After Zhuge Qing left, Chen Dong shook his head helplessly.

“I’m worried about the Zhuge family, and the Zhuge family is worried about me, if Xiao Ying wasn’t at home, this trip to the banquet would have been made.”

The Zhuge family’s mind was clear to Chen Dong.

The repeated invitations were just to enhance mutual friendship.

Even if it was a superficial friendship, it was better to enhance it than not to enhance it.

He was worried that the Zhuge family might have different intentions, and the repeated invitations from the Zhuge family made it clear to him that the Zhuge family might be worried that he might have “different intentions” towards the Zhuge family.

After understanding this, Chen Dong’s worry about the Zhuge family was alleviated.

If he hadn’t been worried about Gu Qingying at home, he would have been willing to go to the banquet.

The reason he refused to go to the banquet was because he didn’t want to cause more trouble and create more problems.

……

The next day.

Nine o’clock in the morning.

Chen Dong’s room door was knocked on.

Zhuge Qing walked in and said respectfully, “Mr. Chen, the car to the Qin family has been arranged.”

“Mm.”

Chen Dong had already finished washing up.

Zhuge Qing pushed Chen Dong and walked towards the outside.

After getting into the car.

Zhuge Qing drove and Chen Dong sat in the back row.

Along the way, the two did not make small talk.

There was a quiet atmosphere inside the car.

Compared to Chen Dong who was looking out of the window, he looked bashful and relaxed.

Zhuge Qing, on the other hand, looked a little nervous.

The eldest son of the richest man in Southern Jiangsu, the future heir of the Zhuang family, was no surprise.

What he represents is the richest man in Southern Jiangsu!

It was for this reason that in the past few days, although the Zhuge Family had been helping Qin Xiao Qian to suppress external problems, they had not dared to interfere much with the internal affairs of the Qin Family.

Once they interfered, they would be faced with the possibility of the Sunan Zhuang Family!

Both are the richest.

There really is a gap between the two places, Western Shu and Southern Jiangsu!

Even if the Zhuge family, with its family heritage, could narrow the gap between the Zhuge family and the Zhuang family to a smaller gap than that between the Qin family and the Zhuang family.

But in this case, they would never dare to act rashly without complete certainty.

Meanwhile.

The Qin family.

Morning time.

The Qin family was filled with joy and decorated with lights.

Early in the morning, the maids were busy on their feet.

Some of the Qin family members were confused, some were happy, and some were embarra*sed to be in their rooms, not participating in this sudden happy event.

The sound of firecrackers resonated through the Qin family.

The air was filled with the faint smell of gunpowder.

Qin Xiao Qian was awakened from her sleep early in the morning by the sound of firecrackers.

After washing up, she walked out of the main house with a frown of confusion.

She was in charge of the Qin family nowadays, and she must be the one to decide on such a happy event that would shock everyone in the Qin family.

But she had never known anything about this morning’s unexplained happy event.

“What’s going on?”

Qin Xiaochen asked as she left the courtyard and encountered two servants in a hurry.

The two servants immediately lowered their heads in fear, not daring to meet Qin Xiao Qian’s eyes.

One of the bold maids was busy responding, “Enlightened Miss Xiao Qian, it was Miss Si En who said that she had brought Mr. Zhuang Zhuang to the Qin family for many days, and although she had already received a banquet, she had not yet invited all the Qin family.”

“So …… so today then all the outgoing Qin family members will be invited back together to see Mr. Zhuang.”

The words immediately made Qin Xiao Qian’s face gloomy to the extreme.

This was …… a blatant overstepping of authority!

It was simply not putting her, the helmsman of the Qin family, in her eyes.

It was naked disregard!

Sensing the change in Qin Xiao Qian’s expression, the two maids hurriedly fled in fear and trepidation.

At this very moment.

A strange laugh suddenly came.

“Yo! You’re awake so early, Xiao Qian? I informed everyone in the Qin family to come back yesterday, and I’m hosting this grand family banquet today, so that they can meet my Zhuang Chu, so you can come along too.

Qin Xiao Qian’s eyes were cold as she looked at the sound.

Then, silver teeth clenched: “Qin Si’en ……”

 

Chapter 742

Qin Si’en was dressed in a red Chanel gown, with exquisite make-up and a tall figure.

Her body exudes an enchanting and feminine aura.

Even if she walks in the crowd, she is still beautiful and stands out from the crowd.

But the arrogance and recklessness that lingers between her eyebrows at the moment is undisguised, which makes her temperament greatly diminished.

As she walked towards Qin Xiao Qian, the words she had just said were heard by the surrounding Qin family and maids, and they all changed their faces and retreated.

It was clear to everyone that Qin Xiaochen was at the helm of the Qin family now!

Even if they were not convinced, they would still respect Qin Xiao Qian.

This was the result of Qin Ye’s fierce reputation in the Qin family.

Even Qin He Nian, who had a high prestige in the Qin family, had to bow his head and obey his eyebrows when facing Qin Xiao Qian.

And Qin Si’en’s words clearly disregarded Qin Xiao Qian’s majesty and status.

He was so bossy that he was shouting at her.

Especially the last sentence, “More people, more chopsticks”, made everyone’s heart jump.

Hosting a family dinner was already an overstep of authority.

It was already ignoring Qin Xiao Qian.

And these words were a blatant provocation to Qin Xiao Qian!

As the three words spat out of Qin Xiao Qian’s mouth, those who were close could even feel the awe-inspiring anger and could not help but retreat again in fear.

Like a proud peaC*ck, Qin Si’en walked up to Qin Xiao Qian.

She took a glance up and down at Qin Xiao Qian, who was dressed in OL clothes, and did not hide the look of disgust on her face: “Go back inside and change your clothes, today is a family banquet, you don’t look appropriate in this outfit, you look like an old man, don’t let my Zhuang Chu think that our Qin family can’t distinguish the occasion.”

Qin Si’en, who was wearing ten centimeter high heels, was half a head taller than Qin Xiao Qian, and when she spoke, her gaze shifted down and her nostrils were directed at Qin Xiao Qian, overbearing.

And Qin Xiao Qian because of the work, so the high heels selected, the root foot is also slightly shorter, at this time the two are facing each other, but there is a kind of fall into the feeling of disadvantage.

In a flash.

The smell of gunpowder around them was strong.

It was even more intense than the smell of gunpowder that had filled the air early in the morning.

It was so strong that it sent chills down everyone’s backs.

“Qin Si’en, have you forgotten who is in charge of this Qin family?”

Qin Xiao Qian tried desperately to suppress the anger in her heart.

The scene in front of her eyes was not a lot that had happened in the Qin family in the past few days.

It was only because of the Zhuang family behind Zhuang Chu that she had been holding back.

But today’s family banquet really made her furious.

To blatantly overstep her authority, this would be enough of a death sentence for any one of the Qin family.

And now, it was Qin Si’en, once a mediocre member of the Qin family, who had done such a disobedient thing.

Is the crow turned into a phoenix so eager to show off its wings?

“That must be you, who in the Qin family doesn’t know that you and Qin Ye climbed up high, joined forces together to bring down the Qin family, got the head of the family killed, and then seized power to establish yourself?”

Qin Si En clasped his hands to his chest, his face full of ridicule and disdain, “What? After you and Qin Ye became the head of the family, you didn’t a*sociate with the family, I’m now bringing my family Zhuang Chu back and want to call everyone together to have a happy family banquet, you, the head of the family, are still not satisfied?”

Qin Xiao Qian’s face was gloomy to the extreme.

Anger was churning in her chest.

The jade hand was even clenched into a fist at this moment.

The surrounding Qin family members and servants had their jaws dropped.

My God!

Was Qin Shi En crazy?

Was she going to completely turn the tables today?

“Hosting a family banquet, of course I’m satisfied, but do you know what you’re doing?”

Qin Xiao Qian’s gaze was cold as she pressed Qin Si En straight on, “Even if grandfather were alive and he was the head of the family, do you think you can escape death for what you have done today?”

Among the powerful families, each family has its own method.

The Chen family is the method of raising compulsions and has a long line of factions.

The Qin family, on the other hand, is a direct line of blood, a lineage of succession.

The way Qin Xiao Qian and Qin Si En addressed the deceased Old Master Qin was enough to distinguish the two from each other in terms of their status in the Qin family.

Moreover, the Qin family has always been a one-word house for the head of the family.

When the head of the family acts, the members of the clan can only obey, not disobey, let alone disobey and insult the majesty of the head of the family.

The same goes for overstepping one’s authority to host a family banquet.

Even if Elder Qin were alive and Qin Xiao Qian were to host it, perhaps it would only be a heavy punishment.

Whereas Qin Si’en, one of the mediocre clan members, this is a capital offence!

Snap!

The words had just fallen.

Qin Si’en’s flirtatious face steeply surfaced with a fierce and ruthless intent, raising her hand and slapping Qin Xiao Qian’s face fiercely.

“You threaten me? Even if you climbed up to that Chen Dong’s high branch, once that father-killing beast Qin Ye had an accident and you became the head of the family, would you be able to cover the sky with one hand?”

A shrill whine echoed through the land.

“You’ve forgotten your ancestors and sold out your clan for glory, do you really think our Qin family will obey you?”

“How dare you threaten me? I tell you Qin Xiao Qian, I will be a member of the Zhuang family in the future, with my family Zhuang Chu around, don’t be cross in front of me, I don’t care who you are, you are a dragon that has to be coiled up, a tiger that has to lie down, not to mention you, even the Qin family, even that Chen Dong, are not worthy to be compared to my family Zhuang Chu!”

The words were harsh and spicy.

At this moment.

The jaws of the people in the audience were staggered, and their jaws were about to drop to the ground.

There were even those who couldn’t believe it, desperately rubbing their eyes and drilling their ears fiercely.

They were afraid that their eyes might have misread or their ears might have misheard.

When they came back to their senses.

The way Dao Dao looked at Qin Si’en suddenly became complicated and different.

There were those who were shocked, those who frowned and sulked, and those whose eyes kept shifting between Qin Xiao Qian and Qin Si En, gloating.

Qin Xiao Qian froze in place, her pretty face filled with anger.

Her eyebrows were knitted together, and her eyes seemed to be spitting out anger as if it were turning into substance.

This anger was already in her throat!

She was afraid of Zhuang Chu and was holding back from Qin Si’en at every turn.

But she was not a ninja turtle, she had three points of fire in the mud, she had been oppressed to this extent, if she did not resist, how could she take charge of the Qin family?

However.

However, at this moment.

An angry rebuke suddenly sounded.

“Si En, shut up!”

Everyone was startled and looked at the voice.

Qin Henian was now looking terrified and was walking quickly towards this way.

And beside him were the two servants who had been stopped by Qin Xiaochen earlier to ask what was going on.

But as Qin He-nian walked forward, the two servants cautiously shrank into the crowd.

Qin He-nian’s steps flew and he even stumbled a little.

After learning what had happened from the maids, his scalp exploded on the spot.

Good heavens!

Had Qin Si’en gone mad?

He was well aware of Chen Dong’s sleight of hand, and he had even witnessed Chen Dong’s ruthlessness.

In his eyes, Chen Dong and Qin Ye were simply people all the way!

And Chen Dong had an even higher starting point than Qin Ye!

That starting point had to make the Qin family look up to him, and was the most significant force that would surely kill his father in the first place!

He had seen everything that had happened to the Qin family in the past few days.

It was just that he had not paid any attention to it because of his resentment, and he was even happy to see this happen today.

But now, Qin Si’en had strutted to Qin Xiao Qian and shouted in front of him, was this an attempt to stir up the sky?

“Uncle He Nian, you’ve come just in time!”

As soon as Qin Si’en saw Qin He-nian, instead of tempering her anger, she became even more arrogant. She turned her nostrils towards Qin Xiaoqian and said with a face full of disdain, “This dead B*tch who sells her family for glory, how dare she threaten me and my family Zhuang Chu?
