Chapter 259 It's your fault for being so stupid!
But Qi Shaoxiong had no intention of acknowledging it. "It was just a promise, and you took it seriously? Jiang Xing, when you were managing the company, did you believe every promise you received? Don't you know that only a written contract with a seal has legal effect?"
In order to cure his sister's poisoning, he made a special trip back to the Qi family's old house today. He originally wanted to use the fact that Jiang Youli poisoned his sister to teach Qi Huan a lesson in front of his grandfather, but he made a mess of things and Qi Huan ended up getting a fortune for no reason!
Therefore, he had no time to care about Jiang Xing's life or death!
Jiang Xing was so angry that she was trembling all over. It was clearly Qi Shaoxiong who broke his promise, but she was still being mocked!
However, this was the Qi family home, and the other party was the young master of the Qi family. Jiang Xing dared to be angry but dared not curse. She could only accuse him, "Qi Shaoxiong, I am willing to betray my own sister again today to personally testify for your sister! In front of Old Master Qi, are you really going to break your promise like this!"
Qi Shaoxiong replied dismissively, "So what? Do you think my grandfather would care? You're just stupid for believing me so easily."
Jiang Xing clenched his fist.
Jiang Youli added, "Jiang Xing, Qi Shaoxiong is right. You were stupid to believe him without any evidence. You never learn from your mistakes. You were completely fooled by Jiang Yonghe before, and you generously gave her your chance to detoxify. Otherwise, you would have been cured long ago."
The mockery from his own sister only added insult to injury, causing Jiang Xing unprecedented pain. His eyes reddened, and his voice was hoarse as he said, "Xiao Li, you know perfectly well that I was just deceived by Jiang Yonghe back then, so why do you insist on holding onto that point and refusing to forgive me?"
"I have already paid the price for all the mistakes I made against you. I wanted to disfigure you, but you severed my Achilles tendon and I am now a cripple. I conspired with Qi Yue to frame you, but the Jiang family's assets have nothing to do with me anymore. I have fallen to this state, and I still can't make you feel better?"
Jiang Youli remained unmoved and uttered two words: "No."
Those two simple words once again left Jiang Xing disheartened, leaving him feeling utterly drained of all his strength.
Seeing his miserable state, Jiang Youli said mischievously, "If you hadn't appeared here today to testify for Qi Feixue and accuse me, I might have taken pity on you and cured you of the poison one day. Unfortunately, you still chose to achieve your goal by hurting me, so how could I possibly pity you or forgive you?"
She deliberately lied to Jiang Xing.
She never intended to cure Jiang Xing's poison; she only wanted to make Jiang Xing live in regret even more.
Just then, someone from the kitchen came to report that dinner was ready.
Old Master Qi then said, "Alright, those who are not involved should leave. Butler, see the guests out."
"Yes." The butler stepped forward from behind Old Master Qi, extended his hand to Jiang Xing, and said coldly, "Please leave."
Jiang Xing glanced at Jiang Youli, and finally, still distracted, slowly got up and left.
Seeing that the poisoning matter was basically settled, Qi Huan smiled pleasantly and politely at Qi Shaoxiong, whose face was not good, and said, "It's rare for you two siblings to come back to the old house tonight. Would you like to stay for dinner to celebrate that I got my first share of the company?"
Qi Shaoxiong tried hard to control his emotions and said, "My sister has just been cured of the poison. I have to tell my parents the good news, so I won't stay to celebrate with you, Huan-ge."
"That's such a pity," Qi Huan said with a regretful expression.
Qi Shaoxiong: "..."
Qi Shaoxiong didn't want to stay there for another second. He stood up and said to Grandpa Qi, "Grandpa, my sister and I won't be having dinner with you."
Grandpa Qi waved his hand, "Go ahead."
Qi Feixue also stood up. "Grandpa, let's go back now."
After saying that, she picked up her bag and left with her younger brother, Qi Feixue.
Not far after leaving the front hall, Qi Feixue immediately said indignantly, "Axiong, what were you thinking? You actually agreed to Jiang Youli's proposal to compensate Qi Huan. Does Grandpa really think he can just stand by and watch his own granddaughter die?"
Qi Shaoxiong took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and put it in his mouth. "Haven't you noticed yet? It's Grandpa's attitude towards Jiang Youli."
"Of course I can see it. I really don't understand how someone as noble as Grandpa could be so indulgent towards Jiang Youli." Qi Feixue said, her face full of confusion.
Qi Shaoxiong gently exhaled the smoke from his mouth. "It seems you haven't realized yet that Grandpa was clearly putting on an act for us."
"What do you mean?" Qi Feixue asked, puzzled.
Qi Shaoxiong said coldly, "What I mean is that we have been misunderstanding. We thought that Grandpa wanted to change the heir, but judging from Grandpa's attitude just now, he didn't actually have that intention. Tonight, he just took advantage of Jiang Youli to deliberately give a portion of the shares to Qi Huan in advance in a legitimate way."
Qi Feixue's eyes widened in disbelief. "Impossible! If Grandpa really wanted Qi Huan to continue as the heir of the Qi family, why would he say at Qi Huan and Jiang Youli's engagement banquet that he would only announce the heir of the Qi family three months later?"
"A whetstone," Qi Shaoxiong said abruptly.
Qi Feixue looked completely bewildered. "What?"
Qi Shaoxiong said with certainty, "Grandpa wants us to be Qi Huan's whetstone, so that Qi Huan can be even sharper after his legs recover."
"What should we do then?" Qi Feixue also began to have some doubts, otherwise her grandfather's behavior tonight really didn't make sense.
It's fair to say that, apart from that old woman from the Long family, very few people in the entire Beijing social circle dare to give Grandpa a hard time.
Especially since he's a junior!
But Grandpa just keeps indulging Jiang Youli like this!
This is clearly because Grandpa still thinks highly of and values Qi Huan!
"Ah Xiong, if it's really as you say, then what's the point of all our hard work?" Qi Feixue said, her anger followed by resentment.
She was unwilling to accept that her family could only rely on their business in Africa, and no matter how well they did, they could only serve as a foil to Qi Huan!
Qi Shaoxiong remained silent.
Seeing that his expression was really bad, Qi Feixue didn't press him any further.
Only after leaving the Qi family's old residence and getting into the car did Qi Shaoxiong coldly say, "Since I've decided to seize the position of Qi family heir, I'll take it by any means necessary!"
He will never forget how, when he accompanied his father to Africa for training, he was secretly mocked by other young men his age.
"Don't be fooled by Qi Shaoxiong's arrogant attitude in front of us. He's just a stepping stone for Qi Huan, the eldest young master of the Qi family. Like his father, he only deserves to go to Africa, which is called 'training,' but it's actually just exile!"
Why is it that he, a young master of the Qi family, can only live in a place like Africa?
He refused to accept his fate!
He vowed to become the person in charge of the Beijing circle!
When he learned that his grandfather was planning to announce Qi Huan as the heir, he thought about finding someone in Africa to take care of Qi Huan. However, he did not expect that Qi Huan's younger brother, Qi Yue, would act first.
Although Qi Huan didn't die, her legs were crippled, and Qi Shaoxiong felt that his chance had finally come.
Grandpa wouldn't possibly intend to hand over the Qi family business to a grandson who is crippled in both legs, would he?
As expected, Grandpa delayed announcing the successor.
Qi Shaoxiong thought he really had a chance, but tonight he realized that Old Master Qi never intended to give up on Qi Huan.
Since internal competition is impossible, let external forces intervene.
The best external force is, of course, the Long family.
Qi Shaoxiong stubbed out his cigarette. If he couldn't have it, he'd rather destroy it!
The Qi family in China has collapsed, but their businesses in Africa will definitely not collapse!
