Happy!
Joyful!
Patriarch Qin's mood tonight was the exact opposite of last night!
Last night, Patriarch Qin had stayed up all night, worrying after seeing the purple jade pendant shattered!
But tonight, this banquet had not only secured their spot in the City of Cities, but it had also been a moment of immense glory!
Especially the Zhou family, who had been contending with the Qin family for decades; starting tomorrow… no, starting from now, they were nothing more than dirt!
With that, the Qin family would truly be the sole dominant force in the jade business of Xiling City!
The Zhou family probably never dreamed that by attending a banquet and having a meal tonight, their entire massive family would be brought to ruin!
The more Patriarch Qin thought about it, the happier he became, his face splitting into a wide grin!
Ultimately, all of this was thanks to Ye Fei, his wonderful grandson-in-law!
"Hey, hey, hey! Old man, old man, did you enjoy tonight's banquet?"
Ye Fei asked with a smile as he watched Patriarch Qin, whose face was split in a grin, fetching him foot-washing water and making him hangover tea.
"Happy! Happy! I must be happy! What does it mean to enter the City of Cities? It means that after today, our Qin family will also be a truly heavyweight noble family in Xiling City!"
Patriarch Qin's expression brightened, and he immediately echoed Ye Fei's words with a sigh of emotion.
"It's good that you're happy! It's good that you're happy… Since you're happy, then give me back the Yin Jade…"
Ye Fei glanced at Patriarch Qin twice and rubbed his hands together, speaking shyly.
"Alas! I'm old now… I'm already this old, so let me die, let me die… Even if I were to smash my head against this threshold and die, I wouldn't let it hinder the happiness of my precious granddaughter Xiao Lan and you… As the saying goes, it's better to tear down ten temples than to ruin one marriage…"
It was better for Ye Fei not to mention the Yin Jade. But the moment he did, Patriarch Qin's smile vanished, and he started sighing lamentably, acting as if he were on his deathbed.
"Holy crap! You old scoundrel!"
Ye Fei was fine seeing Patriarch Qin like this, but the moment he saw him, he was so angry he jumped up and cursed, his nose practically crooked!
Rustle! Rustle!
At this moment, footsteps could be heard from the doorway!
"Grandfather! What's wrong? What's wrong? Why are you squatting on the ground…"
Qin Bing had just walked in when she saw Patriarch Qin lying on the ground, looking half-dead. She immediately rushed over to help him up.
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing… Grandfather is already an old man, and you're still…"
"I didn't touch the old scoundrel! He threw himself onto the ground to stage a fake accident!"
Ye Fei was completely dumbfounded and immediately explained furiously!
He was just asking for the Yin Jade, and the old man was acting like he was dying!
If he had really stolen the Yin Jade, he might have actually hanged himself or jumped into a river!
How could this old scoundrel be so shameless!
"Alright, alright, Grandfather, I'll help you back to rest first, and I'll come back to Brother-in-law's side later…"
Qin Bing glanced at her grandfather, then at Ye Fei, who was jumping and cursing furiously, and knew exactly what had happened.
It was probably Ye Fei mentioning the Yin Jade again, and her grandfather not agreeing, so he was faking his imminent death!
Of course, she couldn't just side with Ye Fei in such a matter!
"Brother-in-law, here!"
A few minutes later, after Qin Bing helped Patriarch Qin leave, she returned.
Then, she handed Ye Fei a set of medical needles.
"Huh?"
Ye Fei was surprised and confused when he saw the medical needles Qin Bing was holding.
"Bingbing, what is this?"
Ye Fei pondered for a long time but couldn't understand what Qin Bing was doing.
"Didn't you promise Sister Hong at the banquet yesterday that you would go and see her best friend's illness?"
"I saw that you didn't have any medical needles on you when you came to our house to treat Grandfather a few days ago, so I specifically had someone craft a set for you.
"These medical needles were just finished, so I brought them to you. You might need them tomorrow."
Qin Bing put the needles into Ye Fei's hand and explained.
Ye Fei's expression changed, and he was somewhat surprised!
Was this little girl so thoughtful?
"Thank you. I'll try my best to complete the three conditions you mentioned as soon as possible, and then you must steal the Yin Jade from your grandfather, that old scoundrel."
Ye Fei thanked Qin Bing and made a promise.
"It is I who should be thanking you. If it weren't for you, our Qin family would probably have ceased to exist today. Don't worry, I always keep my word!"
Qin Bing smiled and replied to Ye Fei.
"Tomorrow, I plan to go to the jade mine in the southern district of Xiling City… I heard that the jade mine there is managed by a family force from Jiangdong, and I'm not sure if they're willing to cooperate with our Qin family…"
"No need to think too much about it. I'll go there tomorrow to talk. It would be best if I could negotiate a deal! It would also be equivalent to fulfilling your second condition. If I fail, I can only rely on you, brother-in-law."
Then, Qin Bing continued without waiting for Ye Fei to speak.
Originally, she had hoped Ye Fei would accompany her.
However, Ye Fei needed to see Sister Hong's best friend tomorrow, so she could only go and see for herself.
"No problem, it's just a small jade mine. If you can't get it, I can handle it in minutes."
Ye Fei patted his chest and boasted.
"Alright, alright! My brother-in-law is the most amazing!"
Qin Bing was amused by Ye Fei's demeanor and giggled, playing along.
As Qin Bing spoke, her beautiful eyes stared intently at Ye Fei.
"Sister, sister, don't look at me like that, don't look at me like that, I'm quite thin-skinned…"
Ye Fei felt a hint of something unusual in Qin Bing's eyes, and his heart jolted. He immediately exclaimed dramatically!
"Smelly brother-in-law, what do you mean by that… If you have thin skin, does that mean I have thick skin?"
Qin Bing heard Ye Fei's words and refused to let it go!
"Hey, hey, hey! I didn't say that, I didn't say that… You said it yourself… Oh, oh! Stop pinching, stop pinching, I was wrong, I was wrong…"
Before Ye Fei could finish his exaggerated cries, Qin Bing gritted her teeth and rushed over, playfully wrestling with him.
A moment later, Qin Bing was on top of Ye Fei, staring at him intently.
The atmosphere in the room seemed to become intimate in an instant.
"Bingbing, don't! I love my eldest sister very much. I'll only marry her in this lifetime…"
Ye Fei sensed what Qin Bing was about to do and immediately stated his stance.
"Get lost! As if I would… would… So narcissistic and shameless…"
Qin Bing glared at Ye Fei, climbed off him, and tidied her disheveled clothes.
"Brother-in-law, it's getting late. I'm going back to sleep. You should get some sleep too. Goodnight!"
As Qin Bing turned to leave, a complex emotion, whether it was disappointment or something else, couldn't be hidden in her eyes.
However, she hid it well, and it vanished in an instant!
Then, she bid Ye Fei goodnight and walked away!
"Hoo, hoo, hoo! This little girl… Damn it… Women these days are like wolves! So scary, so scary!"
"In the future, a handsome and excellent man like me must protect himself when he goes out, must protect himself!"
Ye Fei breathed a sigh of relief, uttered a boastful remark, and then, without thinking further, went back to bed to sleep.
The night passed uneventfully. The next morning, Sister Hong drove to pick up Ye Fei.
Then, Ye Fei didn't delay any further, as he had promised Sister Hong last night to see her best friend's illness.
Therefore, Ye Fei got into the car and drove out with her!
"Holy crap! Sister Hong, Sister Hong! Where did you find this quack? This guy looks younger than me, and he can cure illnesses?"
"Sister's strange illness, even the divine physician Song was helpless before… Are you kidding me?"
As soon as Ye Fei arrived at the place and before he got out of the car, an impolite, arrogant, and rascally voice questioned him.
