Chapter 240 This kind of person isn't worth your time.
Qin Yu's reaction caught the attention of Yu Yuetong and Qin Reng.
"What's wrong?" Qin Reng asked coldly, "Where did that smug look go?"
Qin Yu didn't answer, just stared blankly at his phone screen, his expression growing increasingly grim. Yu Yuetong quietly moved closer, wanting to find out what was going on, but Qin Yu abruptly pushed her away.
"Don't touch me!" he roared, then realized he had lost his temper and forced a smile. "It's nothing, just... a few minor issues."
But neither Yu Yuetong nor Qin Reng were fools. They exchanged a glance, both having their own guesses.
Just then, Yu Yuetong's phone vibrated again. She looked down and saw a message from an unknown number:
“Ms. Yu, I am the legal director of the Ji Group. The acquisition statement that Ms. Ji Momo just issued in the company's name without authorization is illegal. We have taken legal action to revoke the statement. At the same time, we will also deal with Ms. Ji Momo's behavior seriously. We sincerely apologize for the trouble caused to you.”
Yu Yuetong's eyes lit up. She immediately showed the message to Qin Reng, and both of them smiled with relief.
Seeing this, Qin Yu's face darkened even further. He gritted his teeth and said, "What...what have you done?"
“We didn’t do anything,” Yu Yuetong said with a smile. “It seems your ally has run into trouble.”
Qin Reng also sneered: "Cousin, didn't you say that the business world is like a battlefield? It seems you've chosen the wrong ally."
Just then, the office door was pushed open again. This time, it was the legal director of the Qin Group who entered.
"President Qin, President Yu," he said respectfully, "I just received news that the Ji Group has clarified its previous acquisition statement. They stated that this was merely Ms. Ji Momo's personal action and has nothing to do with the company."
Upon hearing this news, Qin Yu's face turned deathly pale. He staggered back a few steps, barely managing to steady himself by leaning against the wall.
The legal director continued, "Furthermore, the Ji Group expressed their willingness to cooperate more deeply with us as a gesture of remorse. They have put forward several very attractive project proposals..."
Yu Yuetong and Qin Reng were secretly delighted upon hearing this news. They knew that not only had the crisis been resolved, but it might also bring unexpected benefits to the company.
Qin Yu glared at the two smug men, a flash of resentment in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be so smug. This is just a temporary victory. I won't..."
"enough!"
A stern voice interrupted Qin Yu. Everyone turned around and saw Old Master Qin standing at the door, his face terribly grim.
"Grandpa..." Qin Yu's expression changed, as if he wanted to explain something.
But Old Master Qin waved his hand to interrupt him: "I heard everything. Qin Yu, you have disappointed me greatly."
Qin Yu's body trembled slightly. He had never seen his grandfather look at him like that before. His eyes were filled with disappointment and disgust, as if he were looking at a stranger.
"Grandpa, I..." Qin Yu opened his mouth, but found that he had no idea what to say.
"From childhood to adulthood, I've treated you better than I've treated Reng'er." Old Master Qin slowly walked into the office, each step seeming to pound on Qin Yu's heart. "I thought you would know how to be grateful. But what about you? For your own selfish interests, you didn't hesitate to frame your own cousin, and even tried to destroy the entire Qin Group!"
Yu Yuetong and Qin Reng stood aside, watching this scene, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.
"I...I just wanted to prove that I'm better than him..." Qin Yu's voice grew softer and softer.
"Enough!" Old Master Qin suddenly roared, "Do you know what I hate most? Betrayal! You not only betrayed the Qin family, but you also betrayed my trust in you!"
As he spoke, he pulled a document from his suit pocket and slammed it down in front of Qin Yu: "This is all the stuff you and Ji Momo have been up to. Did you really think I didn't know anything?"
Qin Yu's face turned deathly pale instantly. He picked up the document with trembling hands, and felt a chill run through his body after just one glance.
"Grandpa, I was wrong... I really know I was wrong..." Qin Yu suddenly knelt down.
"Too late," Old Master Qin said coldly. "From today onwards, you are no longer a member of the Qin family. Get out of the Qin family and never let me see you again!"
Just then, Ji Momo suddenly burst in: "Qin Yu! You bastard! You actually betrayed me?!"
She held a document in her hand, her makeup ruined by tears.
Everyone was stunned. Yu Yuetong looked at Ji Momo, then at Qin Yu kneeling on the ground, and suddenly understood something.
It turns out that Qin Yu had already prepared an escape route in order to protect himself, and pushed all the blame onto Ji Momo.
"You..." Ji Momo trembled with anger, "I must have been blind to believe you!"
She rushed forward to hit Qin Yu, but Yu Yuetong stopped her.
"Miss Ji, calm down," Yu Yuetong said softly. "This kind of person isn't worth your time."
Looking into Yu Yuetong's gentle yet firm eyes, Ji Momo suddenly burst into tears: "I'm sorry... I really know I was wrong..."
Qin Reng walked to Yu Yuetong's side and gently took her hand. The two smiled at each other, both seeing relief in each other's eyes.
This farce is finally coming to an end.
Old Master Qin looked at Qin Yu kneeling on the ground and Ji Momo, whose face was streaked with tears, and a trace of weariness flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath and turned to Yu Yuetong and Qin Reng: "You two, come with me for a moment."
The three went to the small conference room next door. After sitting down, Old Master Qin looked directly at the young couple in front of him and said, "I owe you an apology."
Yu Yuetong and Qin Reng looked at each other, somewhat surprised.
"Over the years, I have always favored Qin Yu and been too harsh on Reng'er," Old Master Qin said slowly. "I thought this would make them compete with each other and grow up faster. I never expected it would lead to this situation today."
Qin Reng opened his mouth, as if to say something, but was stopped by his grandfather raising his hand.
"Let me finish," Grandpa Qin continued. "Yuetong, I wasn't very friendly to you before. Now I understand, you are a smart and kind girl, and the best companion for Reng'er."
Yu Yuetong's eyes reddened with emotion, and she nodded gently.
Old Master Qin stood up and patted Qin Reng on the shoulder: "Reng'er, you handled this matter very well. I can see that you have grown into an excellent leader. From today onwards, the Qin Group is entirely in your hands."
Qin Reng looked at his grandfather in shock: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you...?"
"I'm getting old, it's time for me to retire." Old Master Qin smiled slightly. "You young people have new ideas and new approaches, it should be you who lead the company forward."
Yu Yuetong grasped Qin Reng's hand and gave him an encouraging look.
Qin Reng took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Grandpa, I will not let you down."
"I believe you," Old Master Qin nodded. "However, there is something I must remind you of."
The two looked at him with suspicion.
