Chapter 76: Chapter 76: The Ancestor is Really Clever
Qin Guoxiang heard this, picked up his teacup gently, and took a sip. He raised his chin at Cao Jiadong, “This tea is quite good, Jiadong, try it.”
Cao Jiadong tensely agreed, picking up the teacup and slowly savoring it.
But young people nowadays seldom enjoy drinking tea.
Cao Jiadong belonged to that category who didn’t fancy tea; to him, it made no difference. He could only manage a forced “It’s quite good.”
“Jiadong, I didn’t call you over this late just to taste tea; I think you’re clear on that,” Qin Guoxiang said as he put down his teacup, hinting at something more.
Cao Jiadong’s expression grew even tenser, “I’m aware…”
“We’re all aware of your family’s situation. Your family matters are too complex, and I genuinely don’t hope Yueyue continues to be with you.” Qin Guoxiang spoke seriously, “Fortunately, the two of you aren’t married yet. It’s better to cut losses now.”
“Dad!” Qin Yue stood up agitatedly.
Qin Guoxiang lazily glanced at her, motioning her to sit down, “Sit down, I know what you want to say.” He looked at Cao Jiadong and continued, “Jiadong, as a father, I do not wish Yueyue to have any more to do with you. However, that girl Yueyue is stubborn. She likes you and doesn’t want to break up with you; she has been arguing with us all afternoon about this.”
Ye Xiuyun chimed in, “Yes, the girl is too stubborn. But we’ve been there, and as parents, we naturally feel for our daughter. Jiadong, you can understand that, right?”
Cao Jiadong’s face whitened as he stiffly nodded.
Just then, Qin Guoxiang changed his tone, “Of course, Jiadong, we didn’t just call you here to discuss this. Yueyue is our flesh and blood, we have to consider her feelings. She is determined to be with you, and we can’t stop her, but if you want us to be at ease giving our daughter to you, Jiadong, you need to show us your sincerity, right?”
Qin Guoxiang and Ye Xiuyun looked meaningfully at Cao Jiadong.
Cao Jiadong was momentarily stunned, as the content of the emails he had investigated suddenly surfaced in his mind.
He hesitated before asking, “What conditions?”
Ye Xiuyun spoke, “You see the situation now. You’re not Mr. Cao’s biological son, and all the Cao family’s assets may end up having nothing to do with you in the future, which is too insecure for Yueyue.”
Qin Guoxiang took over, “I know your father previously put quite a bit of property in your name, so your aunt and I hope you’ll transfer that part of the assets to Yueyue now. That way it’s a safeguard for Yueyue, and if your father wants to take it back later, he’ll have no chance. Isn’t that right?”
Qin Yue’s face turned white, “Mom, Dad, you’re going too far…”
Cao Jiadong was also stunned.
At three o’clock in the morning,
The surroundings of Jiaoyang Temple were silent, except for the occasional shouts coming from the meditation rooms in the temple’s backyard.
“Yes, yes, yes! Catch it first!”
“Damn, ancestor, you’re awesome!”
“Ancestor, when did you get so good?”
In the room, Xia Xin and Jiangli were sitting at either end of the bed, battling fiercely in their game.
Watching the game screen display the word “Victory,” Xia Xin was thrilled, “Nice, we actually won! Ancestor, you rock!”
Just before, he had briefly explained the hero’s abilities to Jiangli and watched a few rounds of other people’s games with him.
Somehow, it was as if Jiangli had an epiphany; once he entered the game, he was transformed.
The Mage played convincingly for several rounds, not only making catches but also demonstrating an extraordinary sense of gameplay.
