For a moment, the entire living room was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Qin Shujie stared angrily at Qin Rumeng, who, undaunted, looked back at him.
"Qin Rumeng, are you looking for a quarrel..."
"Qin Shujie, do you think I'm afraid of arguing with you?" Qin Rumeng scoffed disdainfully, "But I warn you, you'd better be polite to me, or I'll have your son kicked out of Fenghua Group in no time."
Qin Pojun, who had been sitting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and spoke in a low voice.
Qin Pojun's sudden intervention made Qin Shujie sullenly close his mouth.
Watching the scene unfold, Qiu Ruoxi sighed softly in her heart.
Ah, the wealthy! They may look glamorous, but the deceit and intrigue within is unimaginable to many.
Just like now, if not for Qin Pojun interfering, who knows what might have happened!
After stopping the quarrel between Qin Shujie and Qin Rumeng, Qin Pojun didn't blame either of them. Instead, he turned his gaze onto Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan, his aged face full of smiles.
"This must be Ruoxi!" Qin Pojun, filled with affection, got up from his chair and walked towards Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi, "No wonder Phoenix chose you, you're truly outstanding!"
Then Qin Pojun, like a Taoist at the Capital Heaven Bridge who reads fortunes, praised Qiu Ruoxi, "Wide forehead, straight nose, eyebrows faint yet not sparse, upright and not deceitful. A girl who values loyalty and can benefit her husband, with the image of a prospering household!"
Startled by Qin Pojun's praise, even someone as experienced as Qiu Ruoxi couldn't help but blush slightly!
Upon hearing Qin Pojun's words, Qin Rumeng couldn't resist curling her lips, "Dad, if you're bored in the future, maybe you should set up a stall under the bridge. I'll find someone to make you a banner that reads 'Iron-clad predictions, worth a thousand gold per reading...'
"That would likely starve the old man!" Ye Xunhuan couldn't help but interject.
Hearing the mocking duet of Qin Rumeng and Ye Xunhuan, Qin Pojun's expression turned awkward, "What do you two know? The Qin family has a scholarly background, how can those people under the bridge compare to me?"
"Besides, tell me what I said wrong. Look at Ruoxi, isn't her forehead wide..."
Seeing Qin Pojun's serious demeanor, Qin Rumeng felt helpless, knowing that Qin Pojun was quite pleased with Qiu Ruoxi as a granddaughter-in-law. Otherwise, how could he praise her so?
Hearing Qin Pojun's praise again, Qiu Ruoxi, blushing, felt a bit awkward and said, "You're joking, sir!"
"What, you've entered our family and married my grandson, are you still calling me 'sir'?" Qin Pojun's smile immediately froze, and he spoke sternly.
Startled by Qin Pojun's words, Qiu Ruoxi was momentarily taken aback. Seeing Qin Pojun's stern face, Qiu Ruoxi's usual business acumen vanished, and like a little girl, she looked to Ye Xunhuan for help.
As if asking Ye Xunhuan, should I call him Grandfather?
Understanding the meaning in Qiu Ruoxi's eyes, Ye Xunhuan felt amused.
He never realized his wife had such a clueless side.
If even he calls Qin Pojun Grandfather, what else should she call him?
But since Qiu Ruoxi was looking at him for guidance, Ye Xunhuan couldn't let her down, so he said directly, "Sir, I'm destined to call you Grandfather, that can't change. But if you want my wife to call you Grandfather too, what about the fee for changing the way she addresses you..."
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan rubbed his hands together like a miser.
Hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Qiu Ruoxi's already slightly red cheeks turned even more crimson.
At this moment, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into, it was just too embarrassing, too embarrassing.
How could he bring her here to ask for money!
Perhaps having been prepared, Qin Pojun said directly, "I've been ready, just a moment!"
With that, Qin Pojun turned and walked into the nearby room.
Shortly after, Qin Pojun returned.
When he reappeared, he was holding a wooden box.
"For Ruoxi, this was something your great-grandmother gave to your grandmother when she married me, it's a family heirloom of the Qin family!"
With that, Qin Pojun opened the box and took out a jade bracelet.
The bracelet was a bright green, not only vivid in color but also with a sheen that seemed about to drip off, engraved with inscriptions and patterns, making it extremely beautiful.
If a jewelry mogul or someone knowledgeable about jewels were present, they would recognize this bracelet as a valuable imperial green!
Qiu Ruoxi, also knowledgeable, showed a look of surprise upon seeing the imperial green bracelet. Upon hearing Qin Pojun's words, she momentarily didn't know what to do.
It was clear from Qin Pojun's words that this was undoubtedly a family heirloom, perhaps meant for the daughters-in-law.
Why was it being given to her now?
Seeing this, both Qin Shujie and Qin Shuheng's expressions changed.
"Dad, isn't this item traditionally given only to daughters-in-law?" Qin Shuheng promptly said, "How can you give it to her!"
Though it's just a bracelet, a Qin family heirloom, it symbolizes status.
Typically in the Qin family, whoever gets this bracelet as a daughter-in-law is likely to be the next head of the Qin family, about seventy or eighty percent of the time.
But now, this item was given to Qiu Ruoxi.
What did Qin Pojun mean by this? Was he trying to make Qiu Ruoxi the head of the Qin family?
"Why can't I give it to Ruoxi?" Qin Pojun snorted coldly, "She's my granddaughter-in-law. She deserves to wear it!"
With that, regardless of whether Qiu Ruoxi was willing, Qin Pojun grasped her fair hand and, taking her by surprise, slipped the bracelet onto her wrist.
Seeing this, the faces of Qin Shuheng and Qin Shujie immediately turned grim.
Was Qin Pojun determined to give the Qin family to Ye Xunhuan?
Otherwise, why would he publicly give this item to Qiu Ruoxi?
Ye Xunhuan, however, seemed unaffected by Qin Pojun presenting it to Qiu Ruoxi, appearing very calm instead. He even looked at the sullen faces of Qin Shuvong and Qin Shuheng and said with a smile, "Uncles, my Grandfather gave the changing address fee, don't you think you should do the same, or you'll be taking too much advantage..."
