After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 93

Chapter 93: You Know My Dad, He’s Just So Stubborn!
“Sixth Elder Brother, don’t cry.” Zhouzhou swiftly grabbed him and covered his mouth, saying, “It wouldn’t be good if Grandpa, Grandma, and Dad came over in a little while. I helped you get revenge, Sixth Elder Brother, don’t be scared.”

She quickly pretended to pat her bag, even though she was just patting the air. Qin Bei couldn’t help but glare at her, “I’m five years old!”

Don’t treat him like a three-year-old and try to coax him! He’s not stupid!

Well, he’s grown up now and not easy to fool.

Zhouzhou hurriedly took out Ancestral Master statue and placed it on the windowsill, covering it with a talisman to prevent it from scaring people. She continued to comfort Qin Bei.

But no matter how much she comforted him, Qin Bei didn’t calm down. Zhouzhou had no choice but to deliberately scare him, saying, “If you keep crying, I’ll give you the ability to see ghosts, and you’ll be able to see them even when you go to the bathroom!”

The crying abruptly stopped, and Qin Bei couldn’t help but hiccup from crying. He blew a bubble of snot and his face turned red. The next second, he tightly covered his mouth and didn’t dare to make a sound, but tears streamed down his face in strings as he looked at her, frightened and wronged.

Seeing this, Zhouzhou felt a little guilty and touched the back of her head as if she had gone too far.

She took out a lollipop from her bag and handed it to him. “Sorry, Sixth Elder Brother, I didn’t mean to scare you. Here, take this lollipop, and don’t be angry anymore, okay?”

Qin Bei wanted to stubbornly refuse to eat it, but he had just cried and suddenly felt hungry. The candy in front of him also emitted a tempting fragrance, continuously luring him.

After hesitating for a while, he swallowed his saliva and stared at the candy, saying, “You insisted on giving this to me.”

This sounded familiar.

Zhouzhou tilted her head, remembering that Third Elder Uncle was like this when they went to the hospital today. It was Third Elder Aunt who insisted on having him accompany her to the hospital, not that he had a backache and wanted to get a check-up.

Within a day, she had encountered so many stubborn ducks that she had actually gotten used to it. Following his words, she said, “That’s right, I insisted on giving it to you. If you don’t eat it, I’ll still scare you.”

Before she could finish her sentence, he snatched the candy from her hand.

Zhouzhou was momentarily stunned, seeing that he had already put the candy in his mouth, she burst into laughter, smiling happily, “Now, Sixth Elder Brother, you’re not angry anymore, right?”

“Hmph.” Qin Bei snorted heavily, looking at Ancestral Master statue on the windowsill and asked, “What’s that?”

Just now, an old man suddenly popped out of her bag, scaring him to death!

Thinking of that scene, Qin Bei’s eyes turned red, and he felt like crying again.

Seeing this, Zhouzhou hurriedly explained, “That’s Ancestral Master statue. He’s a bit mischievous. He was just teasing you earlier. I’ve already scolded him, and he won’t come out again.”

Zhouzhou didn’t expect Ancestral Master statue, who had lived for hundreds of years, to be so childish and come out to scare children. Really…

“What is Ancestral Master statue?” Qin Bei licked the lollipop, feeling a bit confused.

“It’s our Ancestral Master,” Zhouzhou explained.

With that explanation, Qin Bei understood. Curiosity overcame his fear, and he asked, “Is he a god or a ghost?”

“He’s a spiritual entity,” Zhouzhou said. “After the physical body of Ancestral Master statue disappears, due to receiving people’s incense and accumulating merit, the spiritual entity can continue to exist without having to reincarnate.”

As for whether they can become gods, she didn’t know.

The Mystery Sect does have a path to cultivate immortality, but she didn’t know if they were successful or not.

Zhouzhou wasn’t interested in that and didn’t research it much.

In her opinion, why bother living for such a long time? By that time, Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Uncle, and Aunt would all be gone, and she would be left alone in the world. How boring would that be?

She didn’t want to become an immortal.

She wanted to be the Qin family’s precious baby! The CEO of Optimus!

Thinking about it, Zhouzhou felt a bit proud and puffed out her little chest.

Listening to her words, most of Qin Bei’s fear dissipated, and he asked her several more questions.

Zhouzhou answered them one by one and, seeing that he wanted to continue asking, quickly changed the topic, saying, “Fifth Elder Brother, Sixth Elder Brother, you’ve come at the right time. We were just talking about Third Elder Uncle’s matter.”

“My dad? What about him?” Qin Bei licked his lollipop and, after the initial fear had subsided, he seemed a bit carefree as he casually asked.

Zhouzhou repeated the whole story again, “So, actually, my dad knew that there were issues with that film crew, which is why he didn’t let Third Elder Uncle go. Third Elder Uncle misunderstood him.”

So that’s how it is.

Qin Nan and Qin Bei were still young and didn’t understand the severity of the situation, but they were well aware of one thing: Third Elder Uncle did it for their dad’s sake.

That was enough.

“So, what do you want us to do?” Qin Nan asked.

“Of course, we should tell them about this and make them reconcile,” Zhouzhou replied.

Upon hearing this, the twins exchanged a glance and shook their heads in unison, saying, “It’s difficult.”

“Why?” Zhouzhou was puzzled.

“Because Dad and Youngest Uncle already knew,” Qin Nan explained.

They were well aware that each other had good intentions, but they just didn’t say it. Everyone in the Qin family knew about it, except for the two of them who refused to admit it.

Zhouzhou’s mouth formed an “O” shape in astonishment. “Everyone knows the secret about Dad being stubborn?!”

That must be some serious stubbornness!

Seeing her expression, Qin Ren couldn’t help but chuckle softly and ruffled her hair. “It’s okay, let’s still tell Third Elder Uncle. It’s better for him to know.”

Although this was their usual way of getting along, Third Elder Uncle enjoyed acting and might get worked up about things he cared about. It was also possible.

All three of them nodded in agreement.

Qin Ren smiled and said, “Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s all go back and sleep. Little Five and Little Six, how long do you plan to stay here?”

“Well, since Dad is in the hospital, Mom asked us to stay at Grandma’s for now.”

They each had their own houses, and they used to come here to visit only during holidays. However, ever since Zhouzhou came here, they gradually spent more time at the ancestral home, especially Qin Ren. He didn’t even go back to his own house; after the holidays, he would directly come here by car.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ren nodded. “Okay, go to sleep then.”

“Goodnight, Eldest Brother.” Zhouzhou waved her small hand at him, looking soft and affectionate, which softened Qin Ren’s heart as well.

The next day, after finishing breakfast, they all got into the car and headed straight to the hospital.

In the hospital room, Qin Yan looked through the information and couldn’t believe it. “How could it be like this?”

The director of the film he accepted was named Tan Jiabao, the director of his first film, so he always felt grateful to him and thought that he had recognized his talent. The script for this film was also good, so he accepted it. That’s why he got so angry when Qin Lie turned down the script and the crew disbanded.

Qin Ren pushed his glasses and slowly spoke, “What kind of person Third Elder Uncle is, Third Elder Uncle knows better than us. As you know, he wouldn’t make trouble for no reason.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan fell silent. When he received this information, he already knew it was true.

Qin Ren wouldn’t give him a fake report, and Qin Lie indeed wouldn’t intentionally harm him.

Seeing his attitude soften, Qin Ren continued, “Tan Jiabao intentionally involved Third Elder Uncle in the crew because he knew that if something happened, as long as he dragged Third Elder Uncle into it, he could rely on Third Elder Uncle’s face to save him.”

As he said that, he took out a few photos. “I found these on Tan Jiabao’s computer.”

The photos showed him and Tan Jiabao having a meal a few days ago, with his assistant also present. However, neither Qin Yan nor Qin Lie appeared in the photos. The pictures were extremely clear and didn’t look like they were taken from a long distance away.

Soon after their meal, they also became trending, with everyone praising their extraordinary friendship. Although Qin Yan didn’t like such publicity, he didn’t bother about it. But now, upon careful consideration, the private kitchen they went to was highly private, and paparazzi couldn’t have entered.

Unless it was someone very close to them taking the photos.

The assistant!

He suddenly thought of someone.

Combined with this information, a cold sweat broke out on his back.

So, he really misunderstood Qin Lie?

At that moment, his feelings became complicated, and he couldn’t help but say, “He never told me.”

Zhouzhou had the right to speak on this matter, and she said, “Well, Third Elder Uncle, you know my dad. He’s just so stubborn!”

“Is that so?” a low and intense voice came, tinged with a hint of gritted teeth.

Zhouzhou stiffened and turned her head, stunned…
