"The live-in son-in-law" looked at the fellow in front of him, who seemed afraid that others would overhear his secret. Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly.
It seemed that this guy had misunderstood something. But thinking about it, it made sense; perhaps only he had some unspoken 'ambition' towards Liu Lianyue that could explain his earlier actions.
With this thought, Yang Xiaoyou let out a bitter smile. If there was a misunderstanding, then so be it. Did he really need to prove his capabilities?
If this had been when he first met Liu Lianyue, Yang Xiaoyou might have resorted to some underhanded means to achieve his goals and directly seize the assets of Blue Moon Group. However, now that he had acknowledged her, he could no longer take such actions.
At that moment, several 'friends' who had initially abandoned Qin Yu were now gathering around, seemingly engaged in some sort of explanation.
Qin Yu forced a smile, indicating that it was no big deal. After all, they were all children of business partners; it was unlikely that such matters would sever their ties or cause offense.
This was both a unique trait and a sorrow of those in the business world.
"Oh? You actively helped a guy out of trouble? That's quite rare." In a luxurious suite within Blue Moon Hotel, a refined middle-aged man dressed in white casual attire leaned back with one hand while holding a brush in the other, practicing calligraphy on a piece of paper.
Hearing his own words echo back to him, he spoke calmly without any change in his actions. His brush moved fluidly across the paper; the characters weren't particularly impressive, but they carried an unspoken meaning.
After placing the brush aside, he turned and asked, "Who did you come with?"
"Qin Hong from Qin Group. It seems he's his nephew; there aren't any other notable forces among the Qin Family's relatives," replied the young man with glasses, bowing respectfully. He detailed every important nuance of what had transpired at the scene without missing anything.
At this point in the development of events, the most information he could gather was about what had just happened at the banquet. As for details regarding Qin Hong, they were firmly lodged in his mind, allowing him to speak so readily.
In comparison to Blue Moon Group, the Qin Family's assets were truly insignificant. Yet even so, this young man could recall details about the Qin Family's situation, showcasing his own capabilities. Undoubtedly, he had also kept tabs on other forces comparable to or greater than Qin Group.
"Well, if that's the case, then that young man must be prepared as well. However, as long as he meets the requirements, it doesn't matter whether he has any thoughts on the matter." After listening to the young man's statement, the elegant middle-aged man chuckled lightly, his words laced with absolute confidence in controlling the situation.
It seemed he had made a judgment similar to that of Young Master Hudexin. Yet, he considered things more deeply and was even more self-assured.
He believed that no one could remain indifferent when faced with his wealth. Having thoughts about it was normal; as long as they obeyed him and followed his arrangements, they would be assured of a lifetime of comfort and luxury.
If he could meet his own requirements while also satisfying his daughter, that would be even better. He felt he owed her a bit.
"Should we look into his personal information further? This might take some time," said the young man wearing glasses, continuing in a respectful tone, though there was a flicker of something in his eyes.
"Go ahead," Liu Yue Ru replied, waving his hand. He then returned to the calligraphy piece in front of him, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
He understood what his subordinate Heart was thinking. Although he valued him highly, he had deliberately excluded him from this matter. Being too capable wasn't necessarily a good thing; while he was present, he could keep him in check, but once power was handed over to his daughter, she would certainly struggle to handle someone like him.
Having been by his side for years, Heart was far too familiar with the company.
"Qin Yu, what on earth is going on?! What trouble have you caused?" Outside, while Yang Xiaoyou and Hudexin were chatting casually, Qin Hong hurriedly approached from the chairman's office, his face dark with concern.
At that moment, Qin Yu's hair and clothes were stained with alcohol; his hair was matted together in clumps, and there were obvious red marks on his body, making him look extremely disheveled.
After dealing with a few 'friends' beside him and being caught off guard by the situation's intensity, he had completely forgotten to find a place to tidy himself up.
Now seeing his son's appearance, Qin Hong's heart sank.
At first, when he heard that a friend had gotten into trouble, he thought it wouldn't be a big deal. However, the situation before him was clear; the other party had resorted to violence in such a setting.
While he felt heartbroken for his son, his main concern was how to handle this matter properly. The person capable of acting this way in such a place likely had a background that was beyond his reach, and even if they were of the same generation, he had to take it seriously.
He would have to make some sacrifices for his son.
“Daddy, it’s like this,” Qin Yao, who had been hiding to the side, rushed over and dove into his father's arms as soon as she saw him. She chattered away about what had happened, her earlier panic now replaced by a sense of security at her father's presence.
Initially shocked to hear that Yang Xiaoyou had poured a drink over Liu Yan's head, Qin Hong was taken aback. Liu Yan, being just a kid, seemed unfazed.
However, the size of the person behind Liu Yan was intimidating—a typical spoiled rich kid who could cause trouble without any consequences for himself. Of course, this trouble would be at someone else's expense.
Upon hearing this, Qin Hong felt a chill run down his spine and regretted bringing Yang Xiaoyou along. It was too late to blame anyone now; he needed to think of a way to salvage the situation.
Just as he was frantically brainstorming how to fix things, his daughter's next words left him in disbelief.
“Liu Family Eldest Sister? Are you close with your cousin?” Upon hearing this, Qin Hong couldn't help but ask back. Unlike the confused Qin Yu and Qin Yao, he understood all too well what Liu Family Eldest Sister represented. He had caught wind of some recent rumors about the Honorary Duke through special channels.
At first, he had considered sending his son to test the waters, but the firm opposition from the elders in the family had quelled that thought.
Now that he heard this news, feelings long buried began to resurface—this time directed towards his nephew.
Regardless of his nephew's character or how his parents were perceived, they were still family in the end.
If he could truly become the favored son-in-law of the Liu Family, even if he couldn't wield power due to his own limitations, the head of the Liu Family, whom he regarded with great reverence, would surely take care of his family's interests.
This matter needed careful discussion with his sister and brother-in-law; after all, it was a pathway to success for his nephew.
This was a more tangible shortcut than any exam, diploma, or school could offer, guaranteeing him a life filled with worldly riches.
Moreover, that elder sister had a connection with his nephew, which was a significant advantage over others. If they could seize this opportunity, the future development of their family business would undoubtedly be smooth sailing.
Thinking about this made him eager to discuss it with them right away. In these times, speed was essential; good opportunities must be seized.
However, having reached his current position through hard work, he forced himself to hold back after that moment of impulsiveness. No matter how anxious he felt, he had to wait until the banquet was over; he couldn't let anyone see any signs of his eagerness.
Yet soon after, he noticed that Yang Xiaoyou's expression had changed significantly. The previous air of subtle superiority had completely vanished, replaced by an uncharacteristic warmth.
This gaze caused Yang Xiaoyou, who had been chatting idly with Hudexin for a while, to shiver inexplicably.
It was already past three in the morning... Oh dear, he needed to go celebrate Grandma's birthday!
