Chapter 1174: Chaos (6)

Qin Zhigu remained unmoved, speaking forthrightly. On the other end, Kong Jie hurried to placate, "You come back first; after you're back, let your dad talk to you."

"Then I should probably discuss this with my brother first…"

"Absolutely not!" Kong Jie's voice changed, sharp and high-pitched this time, "Especially not Qin Zhiyou, you must not tell him! Zhigu, I'm begging you, just come back first, come back, and we'll definitely tell you, okay?"

Unexpectedly, Kong Jie's tone shifted again, growing softer.

Qin Zhigu had never witnessed his mother speak in such a manner. He always thought himself to be the luckiest member of the Qin Family, not having lost his father in his youth like his older brother, nor was he as domineering as Qin Zhizha or Aunt Qin Zhimei, and his uncle was habitually silent.
