Qin Mian saw the jealousy in Chu Tianheng’s eyes. Many people wanted the position of base chief, but they also knew that they were not up to it. Only Qin Mian was competent enough for this position, so they couldn’t snatch it.
“Since all of you think so highly of me, I naturally shouldn’t let you guys down.” Qin Mian was calm, no joy or anger on his face as he continued to rub the head of the little ball in his arms.
Chu Tianheng’s mouth twitched slightly, complaining to himself, ‘Can’t this person be humbler? He’s so shameless.’
But he didn’t dare to speak up, merely laughing awkwardly. He saw the chubby ball in Qin Mian’s arms and complimented him, “Aiyoyo, is this your grandson? He’s so adorable.”
The moment he said that, his mind was stuck with a thought.
‘Wait, where did Qin Mian get this grandson from?’
Qin Mian obviously knew what Chu Tianheng’s intention was. Chu Tianheng had brought over two young ladies who he intended to push onto the Qin family.
“This is my daughter’s son,” Qin Mian said coldly, narrowing his eyes.
Chu Tianheng’s heart, which had just gone down, was raised up once again. ‘Daughter’s son? Isn’t Qin Mian’s daughter dead?’
Qin Mian laughed coldly, “Mr. Chu, you can’t believe in all the rumors present in this world. Who told you that my daughter and your daughter looked alike? I don’t really understand what you mean?”
The overbearing pressure around Qin Mian went towards Chu Tianheng. Qin Mian, a grade 7 fire ability user, could definitely crush Chu Tianheng, a grade 5 water ability user.
Chu Tianheng broke out in sweat, unable to fight it off. Qin Mian scoffed, then withdrew the pressure from his body.
“Look carefully. That is my Qin family’s little princess,” Qin Mian ordered coldly.
Chu Tianheng instinctively glanced towards Qin Yi. The young lady in the man’s arms was as beautiful as a piece of art. She was devastatingly pretty, and his daughter definitely could not compare to her.
He clenched his teeth, hating the woman at home, who had believed in the rumor. It was all her fault. She didn’t get the right information, and now he had completely embarrassed himself.
Chu Jiaojiao looked as if she had been struck by lightning, her watery eyes completely dazed.
No, impossible! How could she not look like the Qin family’s little princess? Wasn’t she dead? Why was there another one?
Qin Yi chuckled and looked at Chu Jiaojiao with glistening phoenix eyes, her red lips alluring. “Haha, don’t you know? You really look like someone, but she’s not the little princess of the Qin family. She’s my foe.”
Chu Jiaojiao felt a chill run down her spine, instinctively leaning towards Chu Tianheng.
“So timid. Totally unlike her,” Qin Yi laughed. Indeed, Qin Jiaojiao was much more daring than this Chu Jiaojiao.
Chu Tianheng’s face reddened and he quickly bid farewell to Qin Mian as he ushered his daughters out in a rush.
He was definitely down on his luck today. Nevermind that he hadn’t fostered a great relationship with the Qin family. Now the Qin family had a worse impression of their family than they had before.
Chu Jiaojiao clenched her teeth, unsatisfied. So what if she didn’t look like the Qin family’s little princess, huh? As long as she got Qin Hanyu to fall in love with her, she would have all the power in the world in her hands.
Qin Mian had a great reputation at the base, many people cheering in agreement when they heard that he was going to be chief. The next day, Qin Mian officially became the chief of Z-base.
It was also time for Qin Yi to bid farewell to the Qin family, as she had come over this time to break ties with them.
