Chapter 718: Chapter 748: Their Revenge Has Already Begun
After their conversation, the food from the kitchen was ready. With so many people, they had to eat at two separate tables. Shen Yi was pulled over to his father-in-law’s table to join them for drinks.
During the meal, Sun Li once again brought up the topic of getting married, which made Qin Xiaolan’s face fall.
Fortunately, Qin Jiao and Su Yun steered the conversation to another topic, and the group moved on to chatting about other things.
Over at the drinking table, Qin Bogang said emotionally, "Look how well we brothers are all doing now. If Dad could have lived a few more years, he would’ve been able to enjoy his golden years."
Qin Zhonghui said nothing.
After all, when their father was alive, he had never approved of him.
As for the third brother, Qin Jiqun, he was now tanned dark by the sun, yet his entire demeanor had grown much calmer.
He sighed and said, "If only I had matured sooner, hadn’t been so gluttonous and lazy, raised Xiao Tao properly, and been a good son to Mom and Dad."
But there’s no cure for regret. You can’t live life on ’what ifs’.
Thinking of his broken family, and with the alcohol in his system, the aging Qin Jiqun’s eyes reddened.
Qin Bogang quickly said, "Third Brother, what’s past is past. Just focus on living well from now on. You still have to wait for Xiao Tao to get out of prison."
Qin Zhonghui added, "That’s right. I heard Xiao Tao is doing well in there. His sentence has already been reduced by two years. If he keeps trying, he might be out very soon."
Not raising his son properly and letting him fall into a life of crime was what Qin Jiqun felt most guilty about.
And now, his greatest hope was for his son to be released from prison.
Since everyone had drunk too much, they all ended up staying the night at Qin Zhonghui’s house. There wasn’t enough room for everyone, but the apartment upstairs belonged to Qin Jiao, so her eldest uncle’s family was put up there.
The twins had fallen asleep, so Qin Jiao and Shen Yi each carried one as they walked back.
Mr. Du and Little Gu Duo had already gone home. The old man went to bed early and didn’t drink, so Little Gu Duo accompanied her grandfather home.
Under the streetlights, the shadows of the family of four intertwined.
"Jiao Jiao, Lin Nian isn’t dead, and neither is Lu Jiuan. Those two are the type to seek revenge for the smallest slight. Even though everything that happened before was their own fault, they’ll definitely believe it was our mistake and come for revenge."
Qin Jiao adjusted Xiao You’s hat, making sure she wouldn’t catch a cold.
She said calmly, "Their revenge has already begun."
Qin Jiao turned to look at her husband and gave a sweet smile. "We’ve both died once already, so who’s afraid of whom? The happiness I have now was so hard-won. If they want to destroy it, then I’ll be the one to drive them to a dead end."
’Lin Nian, you brought this on yourself!’
Shen Yi really loved this fierce streak in his wife. If he weren’t holding their child, he would have gone over and pulled her into a passionate kiss.
He said, "Jiao Jiao, I’ll support you no matter what you do! If you want to kill someone, I’ll hand you the knife."
"What are you talking about? We’re good, law-abiding citizens. We won’t do anything illegal. But I’m sure that Lin Nian and Lu Jiuan, who have no moral compass, have done plenty of illegal things."
Qin Jiao looked at Shen Yi, her smile filled with grim determination. "Let’s just pull the rug right out from under them."
Shen Yi was smart. He understood immediately.
"Alright. I’ll go investigate how Su Zeyuan built his fortune right away."
’For someone to fake their death, assume a new identity, and then transform into a major boss in just a few short years...’
’...there had to be plenty of shady dealings involved.’
