The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

Here at the Qin residence.

Qin Ziyang suppressed his embarrassment and silently followed behind Wang Zhaoyue. The two walked out of the Qin family's living room door one after the other.

The crowd was left dumbfounded.

After a brief silence, Gongshu Yi was the first to recover, his gloom vanished, replaced by a beaming smile and an excited tone.

"Looks like things are looking promising! If Young Master Qin can easily win over Wang Zhaoyue, the marriage alliance between the Wang and Xie families will be null and void. The Xie family is nothing to fear!"

Qin Zihao, Qin Mao, Zhou Hongyi and the others nodded, their eyes regaining their light.

That's right. The Wang family's influence is undeniable.

Once the Qin and Wang families reach a substantive marriage alliance, the Xie family will instantly lose its biggest backer, and this turmoil will dissipate on its own.

Just as everyone's hopes were rising, Duanmu Hong's icy voice rang out again, pouring cold water over them.

"Gongshu Yi, you're thinking too simply. The fact that Young Master Qin and Wang Zhaoyue are so close is not necessarily a good thing; I actually think it's a disaster."

The smiles on everyone's faces froze instantly.

Duanmu Hong sat up straight, his expression extremely serious, and slowly and clearly explained:

"Xie Mingqiu, the heir of the Xie family, was personally chosen by Old Master Wang. His family background, abilities, and knowledge are far superior to those of Second Young Master Qin. Moreover, Xie Mingqiu is the next head of the Xie family."

"Furthermore, the Second Young Master Qin has no intention of getting involved in the family business, does not take charge of the Qin family's business empire, and is not the first direct heir of the Qin family. In terms of status, leverage, and future prospects, none of them are a match for the eldest daughter of the Wang family."

"Most importantly, within the Wang family and the entire top circle, everyone has already tacitly accepted that the marriage between the Wang and Xie families is valid. The whole circle knows that Wang Zhaoyue will be the future matriarch of the Xie family."

He looked around and then emphasized again:

"The Wang family, an ancient clan with a history of over two thousand years, values ​​reputation, rules, and family prestige above all else!"

"At this sensitive juncture, the Wang family's daughter openly walks intimately with a man from another family, defying the patriarch's order to marry her. Once this gets out, the entire upper class will laugh at the Wang family for their lax discipline and their eldest daughter for breaking the rules. The thousand-year-old family will lose face, and its social authority will be completely destroyed!"

"Do you think the Wang family, who value their reputation highly, might take their anger out on the Qin family?"

"When the Wang family is enraged, feeling that the Qin family has challenged their authority and seduced their eldest daughter, the Wang family will crush and destroy the Qin family without the Xie family even lifting a finger!"

His words hit the nail on the head.

Everyone instantly sobered up, and the hope that had just risen was completely shattered.

Yes. For top-tier families, face is of paramount importance.

Wang Zhaoyue willingly accepted her fate as useless.

The main branch of the Wang family and the prestige of Old Master Wang would absolutely not allow such a scandal to happen.

Personal feelings are worthless in the face of family interests and the reputation of a prominent family.

The closer Qin Ziyang and Wang Zhaoyue get, the faster the Qin family will perish.

Seeing the realization on everyone's faces, Duanmu Hong pressed his advantage and offered his final words of advice.

"Right now, the only way for the Qin family to survive is still what I said before."

"My Duanmu family intervened, using the Xie family's favor in saving our lives, to mediate the dispute between the Qin and Xie families. The Qin family publicly apologized."

"Furthermore, Young Master Qin will keep his distance from Wang Zhaoyue from now on and sever all private contact. By avoiding conflict between the two sides, the storm and any future troubles can be completely quelled. This is the only viable path for the Qin family."

After saying that, he looked towards his phone and asked:

"Mr. Qin, what do you think?"

The entire room held its breath, awaiting Qin Zheng's reply.

A few seconds later, Qin Zheng's low laughter came through the receiver, nonchalant.

"Duanmu Hong, this favor of yours can indeed be used."

Upon hearing this...

Qin Zihao's heart, which had been pounding all morning, instantly settled, and the heavy pressure in his chest completely dissipated.

I felt inexplicably relieved.

It turns out that even Grandpa wasn't omnipotent; there were times when he needed to humble himself and ask for help.

Even the invincible, unyielding mountain in his heart will eventually weigh the pros and cons and accept help from others.

Gongshu Yi looked pleased and nodded slightly.

The best outcome would be to lose money to avoid disaster and get through this deadly situation peacefully.

The Qin family bowed their heads; his bet still had a chance to turn things around.

Duanmu Hong smiled confidently, believing that the matter was settled.

"In that case, I will personally take Young Master Qin to the Wang family's birthday banquet next month. I will mediate, and the Qin family can simply prepare a generous gift as an apology. At that time, this matter will be over."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the situation was settled.

But the next second, Qin Zheng's laughter suddenly stopped.

His tone suddenly became cold and domineering.

"Duanmu Hong, you've misunderstood."

"I said I could use your favor, it's not that my Qin family needs your help to mediate."

"I'm afraid that after a while, the Xie family will be completely destroyed. You'll never have the chance to use this life-saving favor, and it will all be wasted."

"I'm kindly reminding you that while the Xie family is still around, you should use this favor to exchange for some practical benefits."

"Don't get the priorities mixed up."

Everyone's minds were buzzing, stunned by this unexpected reversal.

Even Qin Zihao was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Qin Zheng's words stirred his blood and filled him with surging emotions.

I felt that the towering figure in my heart had become even more unfathomable, far more oppressive than its imposing stature.

He recalled how he had considered accepting the Duanmu family's help several times before because of the power and influence of the Wang and Bai families.

But Qin Zheng kept telling him: Stand up straight, don't lose face.

I recalled how I had wavered, wanted to compromise, and questioned the family's trump card just now.

Qin Zihao felt a lump in his throat, his throat tighten, and his eyes instantly reddened.

He sat up straight, his voice choked with emotion as he spoke softly into the phone.

"Grandpa...have I embarrassed you?"

On the other end of the phone, Qin Zheng heard his eldest grandson's trembling voice choked with sobs, and his tone softened instantly.

Qin Zheng recalled the scene of Qin Zihao crying all night in the stairwell that night, and suddenly felt extremely sorry for him, so he quickly comforted him.

"Grandson, don't cry. If you cry, Grandpa will really be disappointed in you."

After a pause, Qin Zheng said in a doting tone:

"Since you think it's too difficult for the three of you to work together, we're not doing this practice mission."

"Grandpa will take action now and wipe out the Xie family tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, I'll take you to the Bai family to propose marriage and bring that aloof girl from the Bai family back to warm your bed."

"My dear grandson, if you're feeling stressed, Grandpa will find you the easiest path to take!"
