Qin Fei snorted coldly and said, "She brought this upon herself. Besides, your grandfather has personally visited West Tiger Black Wind. It won't be long before they send someone to bring Ye Fengwu in front of you. When that happens, you can decide how you want him to die."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shou's face, which had been full of hatred, instantly lit up with excitement. He sneered, "I want him to suffer... worse than death."
Qin Fei gave a sinister smile and then, in a slightly serious tone, spoke to Qin Guangnan, "Dad, Fenghao Real Estate has agreed to entrust more projects to our Qin family. This is a bit strange. According to what I know, the Dragon King, Jiang Hao, and our Qin family don't have a good relationship."
Qin Guangnan, however, smiled confidently, "Perhaps it's because of Qin Qinghan's contribution. Since Fenghao Real Estate is giving us face, we should take as many projects as we can. The profit in this deal is at least 500 million."
Qin Fei frowned, "But if we take all the projects, our Qin family may have to invest all of its assets. Even the entire Qin Group might need to be mortgaged to prepare the necessary funds."
Qin Guangnan shook his head and looked at Qin Fei with disappointment. "Fei'er, a person who wants to achieve great things must not only have courage but also a certain level of ambition. The Dragon King respects our Qin family. If we back down now, we'll never get another chance to cooperate with them."
"If you're worried about the risks, I must say your vision is too narrow. Do you know who Jiang Hao is? He's someone who can stir up a storm in all of Haihua City with just a stomp of his foot. Although he's decisive and ruthless, he would never engage in backstabbing. So no matter the cost, we must make sure to succeed in this project."
Upon hearing this, the worry in Qin Fei's eyes disappeared, and he smiled, "I understand now. I'll prepare right away. Even if it means mortgaging the entire Qin Group, I'll come up with the funds for this project."
Qin Guangnan nodded in satisfaction, "That's the spirit!"
Ye Fengwu didn't stay at home as expected. Instead, he went to visit Lin Qiang. He instructed Lin Qiang and his three men to be extra cautious and ensure the safety of Luo Yihuang. He would join Luo Huang Group as a bodyguard as soon as possible.
He also took the opportunity to make a spare key, but when he asked Qin Qinghan for the house key, she seemed hesitant. However, she didn't refuse—maybe out of fear or embarrassment.
By the time Ye Fengwu returned home, it was already 2:00 PM, and the house was eerily quiet. Clearly, Qin Qinghan had not yet returned.
As Ye Fengwu was about to sit on the sofa to rest, his eyes slightly narrowed, as he heard a faint sound coming from Qin Qinghan's room.
The sound was so slight, but Ye Fengwu had once been the best scout in the military, and no sound could escape his keen ears.
"Could it be Qinghan coming back?" A wicked smile crept across Ye Fengwu's face.
With her parents not at home and Jing Si going to the small dining table, wasn't this the perfect opportunity to... get closer to her?
Just as this thought crossed his mind, Qin Qinghan's door opened, and Yang Yu came out.
"Ah..." Yang Yu gasped in surprise, clearly not expecting to see Ye Fengwu in the living room.
At once, Ye Fengwu's mischievous smile turned into disappointment.
However, his expression soon changed as he noticed something strange in Yang Yu's eyes, along with a trace of panic—as if she had been caught in some shady situation. What was even stranger was that one of her hands was placed behind her back.
"You... why are you back? You scared me," Yang Yu said, trying to remain calm, though her tone was obviously irritable.
Ye Fengwu said, "I'm waiting for Qinghan to come back so we can go get the marriage license."
Ye Fengwu's instinct told him something was off about Yang Yu, but as he was still an unwed son-in-law, he didn't feel it was his place to interfere with the matters between the mother and daughter.
Still, he couldn't help but wonder why Yang Yu and Qin Zhi had been staying out for several days, only to return today, acting so strangely after coming out of Qin Qinghan's room.
Yang Yu's eyes remained anxious as she impatiently said, "We're not having dinner at home today. Don't worry about us."
After saying that, Yang Yu grabbed her bag and left.
Ye Fengwu didn't want to waste time on whatever secrets Yang Yu might be hiding. He decided to wait patiently for Qin Qinghan to come back, and then they would go get their marriage license.
At around 4:00 PM, Qin Qinghan finally returned home. Ye Fengwu was about to greet her with a smile, but when he saw the exhaustion and dejection in her eyes, his smile faded.
Today, Qin Qinghan had gone to five different companies for interviews, but none of them had hired her.
By the third interview, she had already felt something was off. The interviewers at all three companies had praised her, even admiring her abilities. But the final result was always a rejection.
By the time she reached the fifth company, Qin Qinghan stubbornly wanted to know why. She wasn't arrogant, but she was confident in her abilities. Even at a small company, she was sure she could make a big impact in a few months. Yet, the interviewer told her one thing: "You've offended someone. No one in this industry dares to hire you, even though we would love to recruit someone of your caliber."
Without needing to guess, Qin Qinghan knew it was the Qin family behind all of this. They were trying to corner her.
Ye Fengwu stepped forward and asked, "How did the interviews go? If it doesn't work out... I can have Jiang Hao help you find a good job. Fenghao Real Estate is looking for a CEO."
Upon hearing this, Qin Qinghan's frustration grew. A CEO? Did he want her to replace Jiang Hao and become the CEO of Fenghao Real Estate?
Not only was that unrealistic, even if it were possible, Qin Qinghan didn't want to have anything more to do with Fenghao Real Estate.
"Thank you, but I'll try again tomorrow," she replied politely, though her heart was troubled.
After saying this, Qin Qinghan entered her room.
Ye Fengwu frowned. He faintly heard the sound of suppressed sobbing, which made his heart ache.
"It seems like Qin Guangnan that old bastard is behind this," Ye Fengwu muttered coldly.
He then pushed open Qin Qinghan's bedroom door and found her lying on the bed, crying. Her delicate shoulders were shaking.
This made Ye Fengwu's heart ache even more. He walked over and sat on the bed, reaching out to touch her shoulders.
However, the moment his hand touched her, she jerked away, as if startled, and rolled to the other side of the bed, wrapping herself tightly in the blanket. Her tear-filled eyes were full of wariness as she looked at him.
Ye Fengwu felt embarrassed. He rubbed his nose and said, "I just wanted to tell you, you don't need to worry about money... I'll figure it out. From now on, I'll take care of you and your mother."
It would take some time to completely bring down the Qin family, so for now, Ye Fengwu just wanted to comfort Qin Qinghan.
Qin Qinghan shook her head, saying, "I just want to be alone for a while. Can you please leave?"
Ye Fengwu's face grew more awkward, but his heart felt warm. His wife was so gentle—she even politely asked him to leave.
However, Ye Fengwu didn't move. After some hesitation, he said, "I know it might not be the right time to say this, but since you agreed to marry me, why don't we just go and get the marriage license today, while we're not too busy?"
"I don't have the mood to get a marriage license with you," Qin Qinghan interrupted, her face full of grievance.
Her dislike for Ye Fengwu was growing stronger. Didn't he see that her world was collapsing? And yet, he was still thinking about getting a marriage license with her.
However, Ye Fengwu had his own reasons. He didn't have much free time left. Once he started working at Luo Huang Group, he feared he wouldn't be able to come home often.
That's why he was taking the risk of being rejected by Qin Qinghan to ask her to marry him now.
Qin Qinghan, with tearful eyes, looked at Ye Fengwu and said, "Ye Fengwu, I've always wanted to ask... why are you so intent on getting close to me? I don't know anything about you. Can you please leave us alone?"
