Return as the king, but only want to protect her

Chapter 20 Causal Cycle

Qin Yi hugged Qin Xi tightly, tears already streaming down her face.

"Yang Chen is a piece of crap, and you actually still believed his words? Giving you the whole world is bullshit!"

Zhou Yucui showed no sign of heartache, and continued, "We're all going to be kicked out of the family. We don't even have a place to live. He knows he'll gain nothing by staying here, so just like five years ago, he left when you were in the most difficult time, never to return."

These words were like a thorn, piercing Qin Xi's heart.

"If we're really kicked out of the family, we'll have nothing. Xiaoxi, listen to your mother. Go and beg your grandfather now. Ask him to give you a chance. As long as you're not kicked out, agree to any terms he offers. Go, go!" Zhou Yucui cried, pushing Qin Xi.

Qin Xi's heart felt like it was being torn to pieces, and she was in agony. She looked at Zhou Yucui with despair, "Okay, I'll go and beg him! Ask him to let you go. Even if it means death, I'll agree."

With that, she stood up and rushed into the pouring rain.

"Sister!" Qin Yi yelled, chasing after her.

Just as she was about to follow, Zhou Yucui grabbed her arm. "She's the one who started this mess. Only if she begs, Grandpa, will he let us go."

"Get lost!"

Qin Yi struggled to free herself from Zhou Yucui's arm. This was the first time she had ever spoken to her mother like that.

When she finally ran out, Qin Xi was nowhere to be found.

At the Qin Family Manor.

A slender figure knelt at the entrance of Grandpa Qin's residence. The heavy rain had already drenched her like a drowned rat. The biting wind was biting, and the pain she endured was nothing compared to the pain she felt.

"Grandpa, please give me a chance. As long as you don't expel us from the family, I'll do anything you say,"

Qin Xi cried, her face a mixture of rain and tears.

Kneeling for so long in the freezing wind and rain, her frail frame was shaky. If it weren't for her strong will, she would have collapsed long ago.

Old Master Qin and Qin Xi were separated by only a door, but his face was filled with determination, unwilling to even utter a single word.

Next door to Old Master Qin's residence was Qin Fei's. He was surrounded by many of the Qin family's most direct descendants, all of whom stood by with cold eyes.

"This woman is truly persistent. She knelt in the pouring rain for so long, begging Old Master's forgiveness."

"She's not being stubborn; she's having to do this. Without the Qin family, she's nothing."

"It seems Old Master is serious this time, intending to expel her family from the Qin family."

...

Just then, the door to Old Master Qin's room suddenly opened, and the housekeeper approached, holding a document.

Qin Xi also looked at the figure, and then heard the housekeeper read from the document: "Patriarch's Order No. 7. After discussion and research at the family meeting, all subsidiaries and departments of the Qin family have unanimously agreed to expel Qin Xi and her family from the Qin family, remove their names from the family tree, and reclaim the Qin family mansion. This order is hereby issued!"

Boom!

Suddenly, several bolts of lightning streaked across the sky, threatening to tear it apart, and the rain fell even harder.

Qin Xi, who had just clung to a last glimmer of hope, stumbled and collapsed completely upon hearing the Patriarch's order.

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside her.

"Patriarch's order?"

"Grandpa actually issued one, expelling our family from the clan?"

"What did I do wrong? To deserve this? Why?"

After a brief pause, Qin Xi cried hysterically.

Yang Chen appeared beside her, his entire being brimming with murderous intent. This was the first time since leaving the Northern Territory that he had felt such a strong desire to kill someone.

"Brother Chen, I'm going to wipe out the Qin family!" Ma Chao also appeared behind Yang Chen, his face brimming with rage. He took a step forward, ready to charge into Old Man Qin's residence.

"Stop!"

Yang Chen shouted angrily, raindrops streaming down his hair, onto his forehead, and into his bloodthirsty eyes. It was hard to tell whether it was rain or tears.

"I want to see with my own eyes that those abandoned by the Qin family today will beg to return tomorrow." Yang Chen's voice was utterly cold.

Qin Xi had already collapsed completely. Yang Chen gently lifted her up and disappeared into the pouring rain.

As Yang Chen left, a black Audi A6 pulled up to the Qin family compound. Two middle-aged men, each with a Yanchen Group badge on their chest, hurried out of the car.

"Grandpa, something's wrong! The Yanchen Group is here. A lawyer and the head of the legal department." One of them hurried into Grandpa Qin's residence to report.

Hearing this, Grandpa Qin panicked and quickly stood up. "Hurry, bring them in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the men arrived.

"Hello!"

Grandpa Qin stepped forward, extending his hands in a fawning manner.

But the two men showed no sign of shaking hands. The middle-aged man with the head of the department badge exchanged glances, and the lawyer next to him produced a legal letter and handed it to Grandpa Qin.

"This is the lawyer's letter from Yanchen Group. Chairman Qin, please compensate as soon as possible according to the contract, otherwise you will be in court!" The Minister of Justice said indifferently.

At this time, the other members of the Qin family had also arrived. After hearing this, they all looked worried.

"Minister Wang, we have signed the contract but have not yet started cooperation. How could there be a breach of contract?" Qin Fei asked bravely at this time.

"Shut up!" Old Master Qin shouted at Qin Fei. Even if the Qin family did not breach the contract, they had to admit it in front of Yanchen Group.

Minister Wang did not intend to let Qin Fei go. He sneered: "Do you think Yanchen Group is bullying you?"

Qin Fei felt very aggrieved and said through gritted teeth: "Isn't it?"

"Pa!"

Old Master Qin slapped Qin Fei on the mouth with his backhand and said angrily: "Shut up!"

After his anger, Old Master Qin quickly looked at Minister Wang and said: "My grandson is ignorant. I hope Minister Wang will not make a fuss about him."

"Forget it, let me explain it to you so you don't go around spreading rumors."

Minister Wang sneered. He then took the contract from the lawyer, opened a page, and handed it directly to Old Man Qin. "Chairman Qin, please read the last clause of the additional terms on this page so that everyone in the Qin family can understand which clause you have breached."

Although Old Man Qin had prepared for the possibility of breach of contract, he still felt unwilling to accept it. He quickly took the contract, found the last clause, and read it out to the public: "After friendly negotiation, during the contract period, Party B must designate Qin Xi as the sole person in charge of this cooperation."

As these words were read, everyone in the Qin family was stunned.

Old Man Qin collapsed and sank down on the sofa.

"By the way, President Luo asked me to tell Old Man Qin a message: those who do evil will eventually perish," Minister Wang said coldly.
