Qin Baonan was slightly taken aback, his expression softening as he quickly stood up, his demeanor toward Jiang Chen becoming much more amiable, after all, he was his lifesaver.
"Ah, it is Mr. Jiang! I truly apologize for my rudeness. Please, have a seat," Qin Baonan said politely as he approached Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen remained expressionless, casting a faint glance at Qin Baonan.
"Your granddaughter is now my maid. Everything concerning her is under my control. As for the engagement you arranged with the Yan Family, it is hereby canceled," Jiang Chen stated flatly, yet his words carried a strong sense of pressure.
Qin Baonan had already heard from his granddaughter about Jiang Chen's strength; even the Master of Transformation was no match for him. Naturally, Qin Baonan did not dare to provoke someone like him lightly. However, at this moment, Jiang Chen's domineering attitude unsettled him slightly, causing him to furrow his brow ever so slightly.
"The engagement I arranged with the old man of the Yan Family cannot simply be canceled at my whim. Moreover, Qin Xiaoya is my granddaughter. I have not agreed to her becoming your maid, so it does not count," Qin Baonan replied with a smile that held a hint of determination, seemingly challenging Jiang Chen subtly.
For Qin Baonan, although Jiang Chen's elixir had saved him, he did not owe him any favors since he had paid a billion for it.
"We do not agree either. Qin Xiaoya is our daughter; we have the right to manage her. She cannot be your maid; she is the young lady of our Qin family," Qin Xiaoya's parents interjected loudly.
"Your disagreement is irrelevant," Jiang Chen replied indifferently.
"Mr. Jiang, such a statement seems rather overbearing, don’t you think? We are Qin Xiaoya's family and have the right to oversee her," Qin Baonan's expression darkened gradually; he had not anticipated that Jiang Chen would be such an unreasonable person.
"Old Qin, do not forget that your life was given to you by me. If I wished to take it back, I could do so at any time. Therefore, you do not have the right to speak to me in this manner," Jiang Chen said with a faint smile, causing Qin Baonan's expression to shift dramatically.
"You... you still want to take my life?" Qin Baonan's anger flared; his family was a prominent power in the capital and could not tolerate such humiliation from a young man.
"I do not wish to take your life, but I want you to understand that I possess that capability. It would be best if you were sensible," Jiang Chen stated while staring directly at Qin Baonan. His calm gaze instilled fear within.
"Old Master Qin, please calm down! Please calm down!" Yan Wen unexpectedly stood up to mediate.
Jiang Chen turned his head to look at Yan Wen. Although he did not know Yan Wen personally, he could tell from the situation that he was from the Yan Family.
"You should have no objections to what I just said, right?" Jiang Chen continued without addressing Yan Wen directly.
"No objections at all, Mr. Jiang," Yan Wen replied with a forced smile in front of Jiang Chen.
What? What is going on? The Qin Family was taken aback by Yan Wen's sudden change in attitude toward them.
"It seems that your ancestor Yan Lianwei has mentioned me in front of you!" Jiang Chen smiled contentedly. Resolving issues without resorting to violence was ideal. However, this was also expected; after returning from Songnan, Yan Lianwei would certainly mention him to his family.
Yan Wen had only changed his attitude painfully after hearing Qin Xiaoya introduce this young man as Jiang Chen.
"Cousin Yan Wen, since you agree with Mr. Jiang's opinion on dissolving the engagement, then I have no objections either. However, the engagement was initially arranged between me and your ancestor. Shouldn't you consult your ancestor’s opinion?" Seeing this turn of events left Qin Baonan shocked yet delighted. His greatest concern had been that the Yan Family would retaliate against him.
