Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion Chapter 381 - Qin Mufengs Middle Name Is Justice

“Needless to say that once President Mu’s contract term ends at Beijing University, there’s a high chance that he’ll rise farther up the ranks,” said Old Mada Qin. “Seasoned professors like Professor Guo, Professor Zhao, and Professor Yue are all national treasures. The influence of these four people reaches far beyond the education sector. Think about that. Do I really need to spell it out for you?”

Lu Yiling lowered her head. “Although I’m sure they value Tan Mo, it’s unlikely they would speak up for her under all circumstances.”

“I’m talking about the multitude of relationships that can be implicated by Tan Mo. Do you think you’ll go far if you make trouble for her? You know quite a lot of people, right? How many of them can actually help you succeed in life? Can your own family do that?” Old Mada Qin snapped back at her.

How stupid she was…

Lu Yiling kept her mouth sealed shut.

Her family had always put their own interests above all else. If sothing were to happen to her, they would be the first to flee. Obviously, she would never achieve greatness if she had to rely on them.

“Besides, who do you know who will help you get ahead in life? Who do you think found those three tutors for all three of Tan Mo’s brothers? It was President Mu, Professor Guo, and Professor Zhao themselves.” Old Mada Qin and Old Mada Wei were good friends, and this was sothing that Old Mada Wei had personally told her about.

“So ti ago, Jiang Siyong went after Tan Mo, and both Director Hou and Director Liu stood up for Tan Mo on Weibo. Did you think this was a gesture that would have no consequences for them? The two directors couldn’t have known whether one day they could have received a generous investnt from the Jiangs for their films. And if that day ca, would they be interested? Regardless, they stood firmly by Tan Mo.

“What does that tell you? It ans that Tan Mo is soone worthy in their eyes.” As Old Mada Qin would say, not everything in this world can be asured by its monetary value.

People might be nice to Tan Mo, not necessarily for their personal benefit, but rather simply out of compassion.

But it was clear that Qin Zhengdu and Lu Yiling did not understand that, nor would they ever.

Thus Old Mada Qin decided to only speak about what their minds could comprehend.

“I’m sure you’re aware of how close Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian are. Are you waiting to see Wei Zhiqian turn against our family because of her, or maybe even because of your two daughters?” Old Mada Qin slamd the table furiously.

“The Eight Great Clans should be united as one. The reason why people cower in our presence, apart from the fact that each clan is strong on its own, is that the eight families are bound together like a thickly woven rope. Once a thread within this rope withdraws itself, do you think people will still be as afraid of us?”

“Wei Zhiqian…he wouldn’t turn against our family just because of Tan Mo, right?” Lu Yiling questioned.

Old Mada Qin pointed her finger at Lu Yiling, so stunned by her blatant stupidity that she could not find the words to respond.

“Is this how you teach your wife to speak? Every word that cos out of her mouth is absolute garbage. Is she trying to give a heart attack?” Old Mada Qin pointed to Qin Murong and Qin Muxiao who were still kneeling on the ground before her. “No wonder your two daughters turned out like that!

“Back at Old Mada Wei’s birthday banquet, Wei Zhiqian couldn’t bear Qin Murong’s harassnt and blurted out bluntly to her face that there was nothing between the two of them. Knowing that, do you really think he wouldn’t do it?

“Never leave anything to chance. When you speak in a questioning tone, it just ans that you aren’t confident. How are you going to amount to sothing if you’re not even sure of yourself,” Old Mada Qin kept on at her angrily.

“A word of advice, don’t do unto others what you don’t want others to do unto you. Tan Mo is a nice young woman who has done nothing to provoke you. How could you even think about attacking her so ruthlessly? You all just won’t listen. All you care about is your own self-interest. So much so, that you are literally blinded to anything else. I’m simply weighing the pros and cons for you to see. Now that everything is explained to you, can you see clearly now?

Just as Lu Yiling was about to speak, Old Mada Qin roared angrily, “You keep your mouth shut!”

Lu Yiling gasped in horror.

She had only wanted to say that she finally understood.

Right then, Butler Yue walked in hurriedly. He stood between the old Qin couple and spoke in a low voice.

Old Mister Qin’s face turned solemn.

He waited until Butler Yue had taken two steps back to stand behind the two old folks.

Finally, Old Mister Qin said, “Wei Keli is now kneeling in the main hall of Wei Manor, accepting his punishnt. I believe you’re all well aware of the Wei family’s house rules.

“For Tan Mo, Wei Zhiqian would even hurt his own nephew. Do you honestly think he would share your sentints? He may be a good friend to Mufeng, but not to you,” Old Mister Qin said coldly.

And as for Qin Mufeng…

He’s also the type who would put justice above family.

Who else did you think ca back and talked about what had happened with Qin Murong?

Qin Zhengdu instinctively glanced over at Qin Mufeng.

Despite the fact that Qin Mufeng and Wei Zhiqian were good friends, if Wei Zhiqian really did sothing to them, Qin Mufeng would still co forward to protect them, right?

“Second Uncle, don’t look at .” With a righteous expression on his face, Qin Mufeng said, “As you know, I’m a man who believes in justice. Wrong ans wrong. Family or not, I stand by my principles.

“Let’s put it this way.” Qin Mufeng pointed at Qin Murong and Qin Muxiao who were kneeling in the center of the room. “I told my grandparents about their misbehavior.

“That is how far I would go for justice, even it ans ratting out my family.”

Because his middle na was justice: Qin Justice Mufeng.

Qin Zhengdu was so furious he couldn’t utter a single word.

In fact, after thinking about it, Qin Zhengdu should have guessed that Qin Mufeng was the one who told on them.

But hearing Qin Mufeng say the words himself struck a nerve.

Qin Zhengdu thought angrily, how is it possible that this clown of a man beca the head of the family?

Old man Qin tapped his fingers on the table for a mont and said to Qin Zhengdu and Lu Yiling, “Murong has reached the age when she should have a family of her own. We have made arrangents for Murong to wed into the Hu family in Nacheng. They run a high-end timber furniture business.”

Lu Yiling stamred, “Nacheng is so far away.”

It was almost at the border.

She knew about the Hu family, precisely because her family was in the furniture business too. The raw wood materials they used were imported from a small neighboring country right near the border.

The area had an abundance of wood resources marketed at cheap prices.

The small countries were relatively poor, so the people there had to rely on industries such as wood to make money.

Even so, the profits were low and so were the wages.

Because of that, the Hu family had stayed in Nacheng and had laid down roots there for many years. Nacheng was indeed very far away. With tall mountains and a great distance away from the emperor, the Hu family had settled down in Nacheng and beco the self-proclaid rulers of its land.

In other words, it was undeniably a place with much more freedom than B City, where any accidentally fallen billboard could easily injure a politician or a businessman.

That was also why Lu Yiling knew that the Hu family had no plans to expand their business into B City.

The odds were they would be staying in Nacheng for generations to co.

Compared to B City, Nacheng was very underdeveloped.

Qin Murong’s marriage with the Hu family would be comparable to being exiled.

“Besides, I don’t even know what the Hu family’s son looks like. Are you asking Murong to enter into a blind marriage?” Even if saying so might upset Old Mada Wei, Lu Yiling felt she had to speak up.

“Who said anything about a blind marriage? The boy of the Hu family will co over for the engagent, and you’ll get your chance to et him then, won’t you?” Old Mister Qin said indifferently.
