Here's the English translation of the excerpt:
---
After speaking, Qin Yi turned and left.
Watching Qin Yi's retreating figure, Qin Fei's expression twisted into something vicious: *"You bitch, I'll make you pay for this."*
Old Master Qin had ordered him to beg Qin Yi for help, but he hadn't even been allowed inside Yanchen Group's doors. Instead, he'd been humiliated by Yang Chen, then beaten up by security. And when he finally managed to corner Qin Yi, all she said was, *"There's no point in coming to me."*
Qin Fei had lived a pampered life—never in his years had he suffered such disgrace. Right now, he was seething with the urge to kill someone.
Before he could even return to the family estate, his phone rang. The moment he answered, Old Master Qin's voice roared through: *"How did it go?"*
*"I'm sorry, Grandfather,"* Qin Fei gritted his teeth. *"I've failed you."*
The sound of shattering porcelain exploded from the other end.
*"You useless trash!"* Old Master Qin bellowed. *"I spoon-fed you the plan, and you still couldn't get it done? Do I have to chew your food for you too, you idiot?!"*
Qin Fei's veins bulged in fury. The humiliation he'd endured today was already unbearable, and now even his grandfather was berating him like this.
But no matter how enraged he was, he couldn't lash out—not when the entire Qin family's fate rested in Old Master Qin's hands.
*"Grandfather, I did exactly as you said,"* Qin Fei forced through clenched teeth. *"But that bitch Qin Yi refused to help. She even pushed the blame onto that good-for-nothing Yang Chen, claiming the dowry from the Su family wasn't for her, but as a 'thank-you gift' for him. How the hell is that possible?"*
*"You must've screwed it up with your attitude!"* Old Master Qin snarled. *"If you don't fix this today, don't bother coming back!"*
The call ended abruptly.
No sooner had he hung up than the office landline rang. Old Master Qin snatched it up, only to hear a cold, impersonal voice: *"Chairman Qin, the repayment deadline has passed. Since your company has failed to meet its obligations, expect a lawsuit."*
*"President Niu, please—"*
*Click.* The line went dead before he could finish.
Old Master Qin slumped into his chair, his face ashen. Only now did the truth sink in: the Qin family had truly reached the end of the line.
*"Prepare the car!"* he suddenly roared.

Twenty minutes later, a black Audi A8 pulled up in front of the Qin family's old residence.
When Qin Dayong and Zhou Yucui saw Old Master Qin himself at their doorstep, they panicked, assuming he'd come to evict them for good.
*"F-Father, what brings you here?"* Qin Dayong stammered.
But Old Master Qin's next words left them stunned:
*"Dayong, the family has wronged you all these years. Starting tomorrow, you'll return to Qin Corporation as Vice President—the position has been waiting for you."*
Zhou Yucui's hands flew to her mouth. *"Father, you—you mean it? Dayong can really go back?"*
*"Of course,"* Old Master Qin said warmly. *"And this old house is too shabby. Tomorrow, you'll move into the Qin Estate. I've already prepared a villa for you."*
Qin Dayong and his wife stood frozen, as if caught in a dream. Not only reinstated, but also granted a place in the exclusive Qin family compound?
*"Thank you, Father! Thank you!"* they chorused, bowing repeatedly.
Old Master Qin glanced around. *"Where are Qin Xi and Qin Yi?"*
*"Qin Xi's out job-hunting. Qin Yi should be back soon,"* Qin Dayong said cautiously.
*"Tell Qin Xi to return to the company tomorrow. I've arranged everything."*
Just then, Old Master Qin noticed the little girl peeking from behind the stairs. *"Is this Xiaoxiao? Come, call me Great-Grandpa."*
Xiaoxiao shrank back against Zhou Yucui. *"Mommy says not to talk to strangers..."*
*"Nonsense!"* Zhou Yucui scolded. *"This is Great-Grandpa! Call him properly!"*
When the child still refused, Zhou Yucui raised her hand threateningly. *"If you don't, I'll lock you in the dark room!"*
*"Mom! What are you doing?!"*
Qin Xi burst through the door just in time, scooping her daughter into her arms. Xiaoxiao sobbed, *"Mommy, I listened! I didn't talk to the stranger, but Grandma still wants to punish me!"*
*"You did the right thing,"* Qin Xi said coldly, her gaze skimming over Old Master Qin without recognition. *"Never speak to people you don't know."*
Zhou Yucui turned livid. *"Qin Xi, have you lost your mind? This is your grandfather!"*
*"The day I was exiled from this family, I stopped having a grandfather."* Qin Xi turned away, her voice icy. *"I will never set foot in the Qin family again."*
*"Father, please don't take it to heart,"* Zhou Yucui said hastily. *"We'll talk sense into her."*
Old Master Qin sighed dramatically. *"It's my fault. I was too harsh on her..."*
He carefully avoided mentioning his true purpose, chatting idly with Qin Dayong and Zhou Yucui until night fell—and Qin Yi finally returned.
*"Qin Yi, why are you so late?"* Zhou Yucui complained.
Qin Yi ignored her, locking eyes with Old Master Qin. *"What are you doing here?"*
*"Qin Yi..."* The old man's eyes welled up with crocodile tears. *"Grandfather was wrong. I came to apologize..."*
*"Hah."* Qin Yi's laugh was razor-sharp. *"Same script as Qin Fei. If you two performed together, you'd win an Oscar."*
*"How dare you?!"* Zhou Yucui shrieked.
Old Master Qin clutched his chest as if wounded. *"Qin Yi, I truly—"*
*"Cut the act,"* Qin Yi interrupted, turning to her parents. *"Let me guess—he promised to take us back, with high-ranking positions to sweeten the deal?"*
Realization dawned on Qin Dayong and Zhou Yucui.
Old Master Qin feigned heartbreak. *"You misunderstand..."*
*"Just say what you want,"* Qin Yi said flatly. *"I'm not here for your performance."*
Cornered, the old man dropped the mask. *"Qin Yi, only you can save the Qin family now! Beg the Su family for mercy—"*
*"Of course,"* Qin Yi whispered, tears glistening with bitter amusement. *"You actually think the Su family would listen to me?"*
*"But Chairman Su sent you a dowry! You're practically the Su family's daughter-in-law!"*
*"Fools!"* Qin Yi's voice broke. *"Chairman Su doesn't even have a son! What dowry?!"*
