Chapter 109

Cong'er

When Qi QingLin called out 'stepmother' with a smile, Yuan JingYa knew that things would not be as simple as she thought.

Now the situation was three times worse than she had expected. According to the situation she had imagined before, she had thought that she would be able to take back Cong'er by just giving up part of her assets through negotiation and showing a slight weakness to Qi QingLin.

After all, in her previous plan, Qi QingLin had a rather fatal shortcoming even though reached the point of being tyrannical in strength — that was arrogance.

This man was like his biological mother. Both were too arrogant in some areas. It was because of their arrogance that they felt it was beneath their dignity to deal with her using some shady means. It was also because of their arrogance that as long as she showed a little weakness and admitted defeat, she would be able to avert the majority of the crisis.

Yuan JingYa knew that maybe this person had not fully uncovered the reason for that year's incident. She was rather pleased as it had been a long time since that incident had passed, and all the insiders who deserved to die and did not deserve to die were all dead. No matter how powerful Qi QingLin was, it was impossible for him to fully uncover that year's incident.

But now,

Yuan JingYa looked at the Qi QingLin who was able to smile at her and felt cold all over. The current Qi QingLin was still arrogant, but he was less stubborn and cold and had become more natural and evasive.

She fixed her gaze on the young man beside him that had a small smile on his face too. Yuan JingYa lamented and laughed bitterly in her heart. If this man was the predestined partner Qi QingLin was looking for and Qi QingLin had such a change because of him, she should have sent the top shadow assassins to kill this man at the beginning.

"Stepmother? Please come in."

Qi QingLin saw that Yuan JingYa was eying JinYu. In an instant, a swift and fierce gleam shone in his eyes. Yuan JingYa's heart sank when she saw it. This look alone could explain everything.

However, it wasn't like she had not gotten any gains even if she was going to take a severe fall today, didn't she? Sometimes caring too much could become a person's greatest weakness, just like that woman!

Yuan JingYa did her best to straighten her neck before she haughtily walked into that small villa. JinYu then raised an eyebrow at Qi QingLin before the two entered the villa together.

The second they went in and closed the door, all the onlookers exploded into chatter! The Big Boss of an unknown identity who had been guarding the No. 138 Cute Beast Store was the Eldest Young Master of the Qilin Family from the Ten Great Clans?!

Ai yo, hey, I've just heard that the Eldest Young Master was missing. Seeing that the Second Young Master was throwing his weight about and looking for trouble every where, I thought about what it would be like if the Eldest Young Master was there. Now it's great. The Eldest Young Master insta-killed that wealthy second generation when he appeared!

This was absolutely not just the result of a difference in class, okay?!

"Ss... Is the head of the Qilin Clan a retard? There's such a good heir but he doesn't want him. Instead he put that useless fellow on such a high pedestal?! Really, if the head of Qilin Clan had not been missing for more than one hundred years, how could such absurd things have happened? Tch tch." A mogul who has business dealings with several families from the Ten Great Clans shook his head at the gate. Even the eldest son and grandson from the Long Family could not compete with that presence. The Qilin Clan had really fallen. If they had brought Qi QingLin back to the clan earlier, the Long Family would probably not be the one sitting at the top of the Ten Great Clans.
