Elder Lin paused, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, sowhat cold.
"Don’t rush, ntion it when necessary."
Lin Tiancheng said over the phone, "That kid Huo Sinan was very rude to , constantly pressuring. What’s the deal with this Qiao Liu?"
"This girl is wild." Lin Qingshi said, "She’s unyielding, resistant to soft and hard approaches."
"Dad, you didn’t get the upper hand?" Lin Tiancheng was quite surprised, wondering how much skill a young girl could have, even if she had a sharp mind, she couldn’t be as experienced as Elder Lin.
"No." Elder Lin said, "Even with Pei Liyan with her, they didn’t show the Lin Family any respect."
"Dad, did you act together?" Lin Tiancheng asked again.
"I said it’s not the ti yet, you’re too impatient." Elder Lin said sternly, "Pull one hair and move the whole body, rember, do not rush."
"Got it." Lin Tiancheng hung up the phone, still harboring resentnt in his heart.
This little girl dares to ss with , she must be tired of living.
When Lin Qingshi ca out of the hotpot restaurant, Qiao Rui and Pei Liyan were already gone.
Lin Qingshi said, "Let’s go to the Qiao Family."
"Yes!"
Qiao Family Mansion.
When Lin Qingshi arrived, Elder Qiao and Elder Pei had just finished dinner and were strolling in the courtyard.
The gatekeeper stopped Elder Lin’s car, but the bodyguards got out and pushed their way through.
The entrance imdiately beca noisy.
Elder Pei said, "Looks like that old fellow Lin Qingshi is here."
"I guess he didn’t get the agreent from Qiao Rui, so he ca to find ." Elder Qiao chuckled, "If the misfortune has co, it can’t be avoided, since he’s here, we must et."
"Letting him in so easily, wouldn’t that be too convenient for him?" Elder Pei snorted lightly.
"He acts like a maniac at the door, doesn’t he feel ashad?" Elder Qiao muttered.
"If he knew sha, he wouldn’t owe debt without repaying, nor dig pits for his daughter’s family." Elder Pei pointed out sharply, "Don’t be polite to such people!"
Elder Qiao paused, looking towards Elder Pei, "Old brother, you’re right."
At this point, Lin Qingshi’s bodyguards had already forced their way through the gate, rushing inside.
When he saw Elder Qiao and Elder Pei in the courtyard, he sneered. "Didn’t expect you two to be here?"
"Yes." Elder Qiao said calmly, "You still ca!"
"Seems like Elder Qiao expected I’d co." Lin Qingshi chuckled.
"Indeed, you didn’t get the answer you wanted from my granddaughter, so you surely ca to ask ." Elder Qiao did not even let him in the living room, instructing the butler in the courtyard, "Bring so chairs over; we will discuss whatever in the courtyard."
Seeing this situation, Lin Qingshi frowned, "Elder Qiao, I think we should go inside to talk."
"No need." Elder Qiao said, "I prefer discussing under the open sky."
Lin Qingshi’s face darkened, clenching his teeth, "Fine, if you want to talk in the courtyard, we’ll talk in the courtyard, but your Qiao Family’s hospitality is really lacking."
"The Qiao Family’s hospitality doesn’t need your comntary or evaluation." Elder Qiao said indifferently.
At this ti, the butler brought so chairs out, first giving Elder Pei a seat, then Elder Qiao, and finally Elder Lin.
Lin Qingshi chuckled, showing dissatisfaction, "Elder Qiao, we’re still in-laws now, do you want the Lin Family to collapse?"
"Certainly not." Elder Qiao said sternly, "At any ti, I, Qiao, never wish for anyone to collapse."
"But what your Qiao Family is doing now undoubtedly is causing the downfall of the Lin Family."
"Heaven-created sins can be forgiven, self-inflicted sins cannot. Have you heard this saying, Elder Lin?" Elder Qiao retorted.
Elder Lin squinted his eyes, suddenly looking at Elder Pei, "Elder Pei, do you also think the Lin Family should collapse?"
"No, I’ve never thought so." Elder Pei twiddled his beard, "The Lin Family standing firm forever would be best."
"Seems like the Pei Family is now teaming up with the Qiao Family to deal with the Lin Family!" Lin Qingshi said.
"Is that so?" Elder Pei feigned ignorance, "Now the helm of the Pei Family is with my grandson Pei Liyan. Does he have such strategic plans? I rember at the last board eting, he didn’t report such to , and I constantly educate my grandson to have virtue. Without virtue, one cannot bear any blessings, let alone talk about good fortune."
Lin Qingshi’s face darkened, knowing well that Elder Pei’s words both overtly and covertly mocked his lack of virtue.
He chuckled lightly, "Indeed, Elder Pei educates well, but young people today execute poorly, showing no respect for the elderly!"
"If you ntion this, I quite agree, today’s young folks indeed show less respect for elders than before. In their view, we elders often impose, like to preach, and thus beco rather unpopular." Elder Pei humorously twiddled his beard, speaking steadily.
Elder Lin blushed, chuckled lightly, "Old brother, you have a point, but indeed, Liyan and Qiao Rui show little regard for our Lin Family."
"Is that so?" Elder Pei chuckled, "Then in the future, keep your distance from them, don’t rush yourself into trouble."
Lin Qingshi: "....."
Elder Qiao also chid in, "Elder Lin, the seven billion owed to our Qiao Family, it’s been three to five years. I’m not even asking for interest, just return the principal."
Lin Qingshi laughed and said, "The accounts were settled long ago, if you don’t believe it, you can ask your son Qiao Junxian."
"When it cos to the finance departnt, Qiao Junxian has no say. Without going through financial procedures, how can it be said settled?" Elder Qiao said sternly.
"Regardless, it’s settled." Elder Lin simply played the rogue.
Elder Qiao chuckled, "Alright then, if you say it’s settled, you may leave first."
Lin Qingshi paused, unexpectedly retorted.
"Elder Qiao, don’t you find it unscrupulous to bring up old matters for money?"
Elder Qiao laughed, "Elder Lin, don’t you find it more unscrupulous that, for money, you overlook your own daughter?"
Elder Lin paused, "My daughter, married into your Qiao Family, naturally becos part of it. I’m very reassured."
"Thank you for trusting us so much." Elder Qiao said calmly, "Butler, see him out."
Lin Qingshi frowned deeply, feeling quite upset.
He hadn’t achieved his aim, yet he’d been issued an eviction order.
"Elder Qiao, I ca today to tell you, trying to threaten , your Qiao Family is pretty daring. But I truly won’t be swayed." Lin Qingshi said coldly, "You should know what kind of person I am, don’t push too hard!"
