Chapter 18 - Qin family infighting escalates as Qin Shih faces family expulsion

Old Master Qin delivered a harsh ultimatum and then left in a huff.

"Qin Xi, did you hear that? You only have three days. If you can't win over President Luo, your entire family will be expelled from the clan. As far as I can remember, a Clan Leader's Decree has never been issued before, has it?" Qin Fei laughed heartily, his face full of smugness.

The Clan Leader's Decree is the highest-level order in the Qin family, issued personally by the clan leader in written form, and only one can be issued each year.

Now, Old Master Qin is about to issue a Clan Leader's Decree against Qin Xi.

Qin Xi was stunned. She never expected that Old Master Qin would treat her this way.

For the first time, she felt such despair towards her family.

For the first time, she wanted to completely break away from the family.

For three consecutive days, Qin Xi went to Yanchen Group every day, but she couldn't even get through the front door.

On the top floor of Yanchen Group, in the chairman's office.

A young figure stood in front of a large floor-to-ceiling window, hands behind his back, looking down at the frail figure below, his eyes filled with reluctance.

"Chairman, it's been three days. Should we let her in?" Luo Bin asked cautiously.

Yang Chen shook his head: "Only this way can she wake up and harden her heart against the Qin family. Otherwise, the Qin family will continue to treat her this way."

Qin Xi waited at the company entrance for three days, while Yang Chen watched her from the window for three days.

He had only been back for a few days, and Qin Xi had already faced so much injustice and humiliation. It was unimaginable how much suffering this woman had endured over the past five years.

Qin Xi stood outside, but he felt the pain in his heart.

At the entrance of Yanchen Group, Qin Yi looked at her sister with heartache, choking back tears: "Sister, it's clear that the Qin family offended Yanchen Group, yet you're the one bearing the brunt of it. Such a family isn't worth it!"

Qin Xi, her eyes red, said: "Sanhe Group was built by me from the ground up. I can't just give up on it."

"But even if you manage to get Yanchen Group to resume cooperation with the Qin family, they won't return Sanhe Group to you!" Qin Yi said angrily.

"I can't just stand by and watch the company collapse!" Qin Xi said, tears streaming down her face.

Qin Yi, who had been filled with anger, couldn't hold back her tears anymore when she saw her sister crying. She tightly hugged her sister and cried: "Sister, why are you doing this?"

Watching the two sisters crying in each other's arms, Yang Chen, standing on the top floor, showed no signs of softening.

"I'm going to see President Luo!" Qin Yi wiped her eyes and rushed into the company.

Over the past three days, while Qin Xi waited outside, Qin Yi had also tried to see President Luo multiple times inside. But as a new employee, how could she possibly meet him?

"Yi Yi, don't be impulsive! If you go to see President Luo now, you might even lose your job."

Seeing Qin Yi's emotional state, Sun Tian was very worried.

"Even if I get fired, I have to see President Luo. Even if he refuses, he should at least meet my sister! She's been standing at the entrance for three days, and she hasn't even caught a glimpse of President Luo!" Qin Yi said furiously.

"Keep your voice down!" Sun Tian quickly covered Qin Yi's mouth.

"Let go of me!"

Qin Yi pushed Sun Tian away and stormed into the general manager's office.

With a loud bang, Qin Yi angrily pushed open the door.

"Yi Yi!" Sun Tian, who had caught up, was too late.

"President Luo, I know you're a big shot and look down on us, but even so, you can't humiliate us like this! My sister has been waiting for you for three days. A simple yes or no would suffice, so why are you doing this?" Qin Yi shouted angrily, her eyes red.

"Tell her to leave!"

Luo Bin said: "Just tell her that the Qin family has offended a big shot, and they must pay the price."

Sun Tian, who had been worried for Qin Yi, was surprised when she saw that Luo Bin not only didn't get angry but also explained the reason for canceling the cooperation.

Qin Yi caught the key point in Luo Bin's words and asked in surprise: "A big shot? So it's not because they offended you?"

Luo Bin shook his head bitterly: "In front of that big shot, I'm nothing."

Luo Bin's words shocked Qin Yi. In her eyes, Luo Bin was already a very important figure, someone even the toprich family heads of Jiangzhou treated with respect. Yet, there was someone even more powerful than him.

"Sister, President Luo asked me to relay a message to you."

Back downstairs, Qin Yi looked at her sister with a complicated expression.

"What did he say?" Qin Xi asked anxiously.

"President Luo said that the Qin family has offended a big shot. In front of that person, President Luo is nothing. The reason he wouldn't see you is also on that person's orders," Qin Yi said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xi staggered, and Qin Yi quickly stepped forward to support her.

"Sister, you've done your best. This isn't your fault. Please don't be like this," Qin Yi said, her heart aching for her sister.

Qin Xi looked utterly hopeless: "Is Sanhe Group really going to be destroyed like this?"

In the chairman's office of Sanhe Group.

Qin Fei sat at his desk, looking very pleased: "Have you heard? That bitch Qin Xi waited at the entrance of Yanchen Group for three days and couldn't even get in. This time, no one can save her. She'll just have to wait for Grandpa to issue the Clan Leader's Decree and expel her from the family!"

The other Qin familydirect line of descent members in the office all flattered him, completely unaware that if Qin Xi failed, the entire Qin family would face a huge crisis.

It was as the saying goes: "The merchant's daughter knows not the sorrow of a lost nation, still singing across the river about the backyard flowers."

Qin Fei suddenly checked the time and stood up: "It's about time. Call the company security and come with me to Qin Xi's house to watch the show."

Immediately, a large group of Qin familydirect line of descent members, along with seven or eight security guards, followed Qin Fei to Qin Xi's house.

"Bang!"

Zhou Yucui was busy in the kitchen when she suddenly heard a loud noise at the door.

"Old Qin, what was that sound?" Zhou Yucui quickly ran out of the kitchen, looking at Qin Da Yong, who was still calmly sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.

"I'll go check!" Qin Da Yong put down the newspaper and walked out of the house.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw that the courtyard gate had been torn down, and seven or eight security guards in Sanhe Group uniforms rushed in.

Behind these guards were several Qin familydirect line of descent members, with Qin Fei standing at the front, watching.

"Qin Fei, what are you doing?" Qin Da Yong asked in shock and anger.

Qin Fei walked up with a smile, looking at the furious Qin Da Yong: "Grandpa gave your daughter three days to persuade Yanchen Group to resume cooperation with us. If she can't, your entire family will be expelled from the clan. Now that the three days are up, what do you think I'm here for?"

"Who dares?" Qin Da Yong blocked the door, furious.

"A bastard, occupying the Qin family's old house, dares to act tough in front of me!"

Qin Fei sneered and waved his hand: "Throw them all out."

Zhou Yucui, watching through the window as Qin Da Yong was forcibly dragged out by two security guards, panicked and quickly picked up the phone to make a call.

The sisters, who had been crying in each other's arms at the entrance of Yanchen Group, were suddenly interrupted by a frantic phone call.

As soon as Qin Xi answered the phone, she heard chaos on the other end, followed by Zhou Yucui shouting: "Xi Xi, you and Yi Yi need to come back quickly! Qin Fei brought a group of people to throw us out!"
