Chapter 281 What Is the Fate of the Elders?

Indeed, that stinky rat was not causing any problems.

Taking control of these important families will be a piece of cake.

This old man has clearly already accepted me!

"No, no, no, we have to go. Meeting is a matter of destiny."

Old Qi laughed loudly while gently stroking Ye Qiu's arm.

This young man has quite firm muscles, huh?

No wonder that before, when facing me, he used so much force.

Ye Qiu, after thinking for two seconds, pretended to be in a dilemma and then nodded.

"Since the old man insists, I will gladly accept."

Inside, he was ecstatic.

This Old Qi is too easy to win over. As long as I establish a connection with the Qi family today...

In a month at most, this family will be my pawn.

At that moment, how dare the Wei family cause me trouble?

As for Tang Yu's real estate company...

With the Qi family's cooperation, making them shut down will be a matter of minutes.

After eliminating Tang Yu, exterminating the Tang family will be inevitable!

For daring to obstruct the rebirth of the Ye family!

"Brother, thank you so much for your help today. However, I think you look familiar. Have we met before?"

Qi Xinghan, known for his bad temper, for once showed a smile to Ye Qiu.

Although in his gaze there was a flash of doubt.

Where had he seen this man before?

"That's destiny,"

intervened Old Qi, laughing as he firmly grabbed Ye Qiu's hand.

"Come on, little buddy, I'll take you to an old stew restaurant in Yanjing that I often visit. It's very authentic."

Ye Qiu also smiled.

This Old Qi of the Qi family is too hospitable.

So hospitable that it seemed strange, though he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

Meanwhile, Yun Shishi remained calm by the side.

After hearing Tang Yu's thoughts a moment ago,

she started to understand everything.

This man named Ye Qiu, who had apparently saved the old man by accident, actually had his eyes set on the Qi family.

But she didn't care.

What did the Qi family have to do with her?

Since Qi Xinghan raised his hand against her, she no longer considered herself part of that family.

She just wanted to understand how she could hear Tang Yu's thoughts.

Unfortunately, even though she looked everywhere, she couldn't find Tang Yu.

Meanwhile, Tang Yu was standing in place, nearly spitting blood.

He was completely confused.

"Damned system! What's going on?"

He yelled in his mind.

He had specifically come today to cause trouble because he didn't want that bastard Ye Qiu to win over the Qi family.

But seeing Old Qi's attitude toward him...

It was as if Ye Qiu were his own grandson.

Could it be that the damned protagonist's halo was this strong?

"Ehh... It's not my fault, maybe your actions changed the story,"

responded the system in a somewhat awkward tone.

"My actions?"

Tang Yu reflected for a moment and suddenly understood.

Dammit!

Could it be that old man is gay?

Not only did his flirtatious behavior not disgust him,

but instead, he helped Ye Qiu leave a good impression???

"What? Is this for real?"

Tang Yu almost spat blood again.

At this crucial point in the story, did he end up helping that guy?

Dammit!

No wonder these experts always talk about the aging population.

This really is encountering an "old man with no descendants"!

If Ye Qiu really becomes Old Qi's lover, things will get complicated.

As an expert in ruining Ye Qiu's plans,

Tang Yu couldn't allow this to go so wrong.

"Dammit, I won't let this stand!"

He muttered while following Ye Qiu's group, frowning.

A villain never gives up easily!

As long as there's life, there's evil!

According to the system's spoiler about the original plot, after saving Old Qi, Ye Qiu earned his favor.

To express his gratitude,

Old Qi invited Ye Qiu to eat stew and spend time together, establishing a friendship that transcended generations.

If Tang Yu wanted to ruin their relationship,

he had to act fast!

In summary, that relationship had no right to advance any further.

After leaving the mall, Old Qi took Ye Qiu by the hand and helped him into the car.

Throughout the entire ride, Old Qi didn't let go of Ye Qiu's hand.

With a very affectionate attitude, he kept expressing gratitude and appreciation towards him.

Ye Qiu, for his part, knew perfectly how to win over elders like him.

How else could he attract them to his side?

First, he had to get them to form a good impression of him.

Then, with his skill, he would conquer them step by step, turning them into his pawns and making them even feel proud of it.

"Is this what they call charisma with the elderly?"

Ye Qiu thought, full of pride.

When they arrived at the small and secluded Yanjing stew restaurant,

Old Qi, still holding Ye Qiu's hand, smiled and said:

"Young Ye, don't think this little restaurant isn't good. It's well-known. In all of Yanjing, you can't find a Lao Yanjing stew this good and authentic."

"Hey, old man, your words are those of an expert! The real good food is always in those small and unexpected places,"

Ye Qiu responded, giving a thumbs-up in approval.

"Come on, let's go in and eat,"

said Old Qi, pulling Ye Qiu as they entered the restaurant.

The restaurant was small, with only six tables.

When they arrived, there was exactly one empty table left.

The owner, a middle-aged man with a round face, quickly approached with a smile.

"Wow, Old Qi! Haven't seen you around here in a while. The usual today?"

"The usual, but add a couple more dishes of lamb. I brought a young friend with me,"

Old Qi replied, guiding Ye Qiu to sit down.

Throughout the time, he never let go of his hand.

Ye Qiu thought the old man was being too kind to him.

However, he considered it an advantage.

Although this old man had already stepped down as head of the Qi family,

his voice still carried the most influence.

If the old man accepted him, he could manipulate the Qi family's resources at will.

"It would be great if he had a pretty granddaughter,"

Ye Qiu thought to himself.

But he knew from the Qi family's data that there were only two girls from his generation:

one was already married,

and the other wasn't his type, not even remotely attractive.

His gaze drifted toward Yun Shishi, who was nearby, and he couldn't help but swallow.

That woman had a body that was too explosive.

Her figure, face, and elegance were simply perfect.

And those curves... they were something rare, completely out of control.

Once he took control of the Qi family, he would definitely find a chance to sleep with her!

Soon, the restaurant staff began bringing the dishes and the stew.

"Come on, let's toast first,"

Ye Qiu said, serving wine to everyone.

"I'm allergic to alcohol, I'll drink juice,"

Yun Shishi quickly responded as she poured juice into her glass.

She didn't want Ye Qiu to serve her anything.

Mainly because... it disgusted her.

He was a man willing to get close to even an old man in order to rise, something that made her feel nauseous just thinking about it.

Qi Xinghan let out a cold laugh and commented:

"Now you say you're allergic to alcohol? Why doesn't it give you an allergy when you drink with your friends?"

"Enough with the comments during the meal,"

interrupted Old Qi, frowning.

Qi Xinghan shut his mouth, though with obvious displeasure.

Although at first he had liked the woman for her looks and figure,

everything changed on the wedding night.

A single laugh from her deeply wounded his pride,

and since then, he couldn't stand seeing her.

Every time he had the chance, he took the opportunity to insult her.

If it weren't for the influence of Yun Shishi's family,

and if she had been a regular woman or a celebrity,

with his temperament, he would have already made her disappear in an "accident."

"For this toast, I wish the old man good health,"

Ye Qiu said, raising his glass with a smile.

Before controlling the Qi family, he had to maintain a humble attitude.
