“Mom!” Jin Chenye, upon hearing her words, suddenly frowned.
“What’s the problem? Did I say something wrong? It’s a fact that sons usually outshine daughters, I’m not spreading rumours!” Jin Lan wore an expression of satisfaction.
Right now, her son was seen as the Crown Prince in everyone’s eyes, making her the mother of the Crown Prince!
Even if she was the mistress climbing the social ladder, she was not far from becoming the legitimate wife, so what if she made some remarks?
“Mom, I have a document that needs to be printed. It’s in the study. Can you please get it for me?” Jin Chenye, noticing the silent Qin Youxuan, quickly changed the topic.
“What document? Such an important item shouldn’t be forgotten. I’ll go get it for you right now. You keep eating!” Jin Lan, no longer interested in provoking Qin Youxuan, immediately headed towards the kitchen.
“Steward, quickly bring the breakfast I prepared for Ye’er!” Jin Lan instructed loudly as she walked away.
“Alright, Mrs. Lan.” The steward was on his way to serve Qin Youxuan her ham-and-eggs when he heard the orders and complied.
“Miss, here’s your breakfast.”
“Thank you.” Qin Youxuan reached across to get her breakfast and, grabbing hold of the knife and fork, prepared to dig in.
She seemed unaffected by Jin Lan.
“Xuan…”
“Mr. Jin, please call me Miss Qin, we are not that close.” Qin Youxuan, while cutting her ham, lifted her eyes up.
“Young Master, here is your breakfast.” The steward swiftly served the meal and left.
Their conversation was interrupted. Jin Chenye, taken aback, made way for the steward to put the porridge on the table. “Tell everyone else to leave. They shouldn’t come in unless necessary.”
“…Yes.” The steward hesitated, glanced at Qin Youxuan who said nothing, and then stepped out.
“After going to such lengths to have everyone leave, are you planning to eliminate the witness?” Qin Youxuan casually popped a piece of ham into her mouth. She glanced at Jin Chenye who had come closer.
Jin Chenye looked intently at Qin Youxuan, whose eyes once had only him, his gaze dimmed.
Now, he could no longer see his reflection in her clear eyes…
“I just wanted to tell you that you don’t need to do anything extra, and don’t believe those baseless reports. The Qin Group is yours, I won’t grapple for it with you!”
“You won’t grapple for it with me? Are you joking?” Qin Youxuan put down her knife and fork and stood up from the chair, a sarcastic smile played on her lips.
Under his gaze, she always felt belittled.
“You won’t grapple for it with me so what are you hurrying back to the country for? You won’t grapple for it with me then what is your mom doing?”
Qin Youxuan leaned on the table, sneered at him with slanted eyes.
“You made a mistake in your statement. Are the reports baseless? No, the reports are not false at all and if I don’t fight back, those will soon turn into facts!”
“Do you really have to talk to me like this?” The corner of Jin Chenye’s eyes tensed, a hint of pain flashed across his gaze.
Qin Youxuan abruptly stopped speaking, her hand on the table clenched tighter, “Don’t look at me like that. The moment you decided to come back to the country, there was nothing left for us to say to each other.”
“I don’t believe that.” Jin Chenye grabbed Qin Youxuan’s arm, pulling her into his arms, “Xuan, listen to me, I’ve never thought of taking over the Qin Family’s affairs. I never would before, I never will in the future!”
“Let me go!” Qin Youxuan tried hard to break free but she found his grip surprisingly strong. She stared at him wide-eyed and blurted, “Jin Chenye, you…”
