Return as the king, but only want to protect her

Chapter 17: Humiliation

Old Man Qin stumbled and slumped onto the sofa, his expression dazed.

"Grandpa, don't worry. There's definitely something wrong. We just signed the contract this morning, it's barely warmed up yet, how could we be in breach of contract?" Qin Fei said quickly.

Old Man Qin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "You're right. We can't be in breach of contract. Did they tell us which clause we violated?"

Qin Fei shook his head. "They only said we breached the contract and must pay compensation according to the contract, otherwise we'll be held legally responsible."

"What?"

Old Man Qin, who had just held onto a glimmer of hope, suddenly panicked. "Call everyone for a meeting!"

"Grandpa, you..."

Qin Fei was about to ask, but Old Man Qin scolded him, "I want everyone in the conference room within ten minutes."

Ten minutes later, in the top-floor conference room.

"Grandpa, everyone's here except Qin Xi," Qin Fei said.

Old Man Qin raised a brow, then said, "No more waiting, Qin Fei, tell me what happened first."

Qin Fei nodded and recounted the call from Yanchen Group's legal department.

After he finished speaking, everyone was shocked.

"Chairman, how is this possible?"

"Yeah, we just got the contract this morning, and they're notifying us of a breach of contract this afternoon?"

"This must be a conspiracy by Qin Xi and Yanchen Group. This is simply too much!"

Everyone looked indignant.

"Shut up!"

Old Master Qin slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily, and only then did the silence fall.

"I called you to this meeting, not to ask you to attack anyone, but to find a way to resolve this matter. That's Yanchen Group. It's easy to destroy the Qin family. Use your brains!" Old Master Qin shouted angrily.

His words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly calming everyone down.

"Chairman, there's obviously something fishy about this matter. Given the status of Yanchen Group, they shouldn't be treating us like this. Could someone have offended someone?" Some people actually thought about it.

Old Master Qin pondered for a moment, and it was indeed possible. He then glanced at everyone and said in a cold voice: "Has anyone of you offended anyone today?"

Everyone shook their heads. The people present were originally direct descendants of the Qin family. They were all a bunch of parasites. They either sat in the office watching videos all day or went out for fun under the pretext of work.

“Since it’s not that he offended anyone, what could be the reason?”

Old Master Qin couldn’t figure it out, and then looked at Qin Fei: “You are the chairman, tell me, how should this matter be handled?”

Qin Fei pondered for a moment, and then said: “Grandpa, the contract was obtained by Qin Xi. She didn’t even dare to show her face when something happened. It must be related to her, so he should be the one to solve it.”

Old Master Qin suddenly had some clues: “Go on!”

“I was wondering this morning, how could the president of the Yanchen Group branch come to deliver the contract in person? Now that I think about it, everything is clear.”

Qin Fei looked clear: “Luo Bin must have taken a fancy to Qin Xi, but it was not easy to say it out loud, so he said that he was moved by Qin Xi’s sincerity. It’s just that the contract was signed, but Qin Xi didn’t say anything. In a fit of rage, she asked the legal department to notify us of the breach of contract. It’s not that we really breached the contract, but she wanted to use this excuse to warn us.”

If Luo Bin knew what these people were thinking, he would be scared. Others didn’t know Yang Chen’s identity, but he knew it very well. He would not dare to make any plans against his boss’s wife even if he had a hundred guts!

Everyone looked as if they had suddenly understood. Old Master Qin looked at Qin Fei with a look of satisfaction. "Luo Bin came here in person, so he must have something to ask for. It's nothing more than wealth, power, and s*x. We can't give you wealth and power, but we have Qin Xi, the most beautiful woman in Jiangzhou."

"Grandpa, so, as long as Qin Xi shows up, these problems will be easily solved," Qin Fei said with a smile.

"Notify her now and tell her to meet me at the company immediately," Old Master Qin ordered.

In the Qin family compound

, after leaving the company that morning, Qin Xi went home and remained in her room.

Zhou Yucui questioned her, but she ignored her. After some inquiries, she finally understood what had happened.

"I've told you so many times to divorce that loser, but you wouldn't listen. Now, the Sanhe Group you worked so hard to build has become someone else's wedding dress."

"Qin Xi, this time, you must divorce that loser. If you marry Wang Jian, the Qin family will never bully you again."

Zhou Yucui had said similar things many times, but Qin Xi didn't respond.

At this moment, a rapid ringing sounded from Qin Xi's room.

Then Qin Xi's voice came: "Okay, I got it!"

Soon, Qin Xi walked out of the room with red eyes.

"Did you hear what I said?"

Zhou Yucui finally waited for Qin Xi to come out and hurriedly grabbed her arm.

"Mom, can we talk about other things when I come back? Grandpa is anxious to see me now."

After hearing Qin Xi say that Grandpa was looking for her, Zhou Yucui finally let go of her hand. Before Qin Xi married into the Wang family, she didn't dare to offend Grandpa Qin.

Twenty minutes later, in the chairman's office.

Grandpa Qin sat at his desk with a serious face. He had just told Qin Xi that Yanchen Group had canceled the cooperation.

"Grandpa, you called me here just to talk about this?"

Qin Xi's eyes were red, and she looked disappointed: "Qin Fei is the chairman. Such a big thing happened in the company, shouldn't he be the one to be found?"

"Xiao Xi, I know you have complaints about my decision this morning, but you have to understand grandpa, because your scandal has already caused a lot of trouble to the Qin family."

Old Master Qin said with a righteous look, "I asked you to marry Wang Jian, but you didn't want to. Even your useless husband beat people and offended the Zhang family. Even if I give you the position of chairman, can others obey me?"

Qin Xi was even more disappointed with Old Master Qin, and said with red eyes: "Grandpa, five years ago, I was also a victim. Even if I really caused trouble to the company, the company belonged to me at that time, and that was my business."

"Now that I already have a husband, why should I marry someone else? My husband did beat Zhang Guang, but if he didn't do it, my sister and daughter would be beaten. Do I have to sacrifice everything for the Qin family to make others obey me?"

Old Master Qin's face was very ugly. Didn't he understand these truths? But in his heart, Qin Xi could only be a sacrifice for the family.

"After all, you founded the Sanhe Group. Do you really want to watch it fall?" Old Master Qin asked, suppressing his anger.

Qin Xi took a deep breath and suddenly said with a firm face, "Grandpa, as long as you promise me one thing, I can go to Mr. Luo."

"Go ahead!" Old Master Qin frowned.

"If I can get Mr. Luo to continue his cooperation with the Qin family, I want you to return the Sanhe Group to me." Qin Xi's expression was extremely serious.

Upon hearing this, Qin Fei immediately lost his temper and shouted angrily, "Qin Xi, stop pushing your luck!"

"I founded Sanhe Group. I just want to take back what's mine. How can that be considered pushing your luck?" Qin Xi raged.

Qin Fei was speechless, looking anxiously at Old Master Qin. "Grandpa, this woman is clearly forcing you to step down. She doesn't even take you seriously. If you give in, she'll only become more arrogant."

"I just want Sanhe Group!" Qin Xi replied coldly.

Old Master Qin remained silent, only to intensify Qin Fei's worries. He had finally secured the chairman's position, and how could he give it up so easily?

Qin Fei's eyes rolled, a look of sudden realization dawning on him. "You've been eyeing the chairmanship for a long time, haven't you? Once you're in the chairmanship, are you going to use the same tactics to force me to step down and take over as head of the family?"

Old Master Qin's expression darkened.

"I didn't!" Qin Xi quickly retorted. She knew full well that Qin Fei was deliberately provoking her.

Qin Fei scoffed, "Grandpa, she's guilty as a thief. I suspect she's having an affair with President Luo, colluding to secure the chairmanship this way. After all, Yanchen Group is so large, countless wealthy families have failed to secure their contracts. How could a woman like her have President Luo personally deliver the contract?"

"Qin Fei, don't talk nonsense!" Qin Xi raged.

"You know whether I'm talking nonsense or not."

Qin Fei sneered. "Otherwise, how could they accuse us of breaching the contract when we just signed it this morning? They couldn't even wait a day, and yet they claim there's no collusion?"

"How should I know?" Qin Xi was on the verge of tears.

"Shut up!"

Old Man Qin finally erupted, roaring, then glaring at Qin Xi with a furious expression. "If Yanchen Group doesn't resume cooperation with the Qin family within three days, I will issue an order from the head of the family to expel your entire family from the Qin family!"
