193: Chapter 193 Engagement

"After I married you off, although she lived a decent life, she always believed I had ruined her happiness, and so she has harbored resentment toward me all this time."

"Your disappearance twenty years ago was entirely orchestrated by her."

"Sigh..."

"We didn't suspect it at first, not until we successfully found you. After considering what you went through, I had people investigate again."

"That was when I finally found some clues."

At this point, the old man fell silent, seemingly lamenting the tricks of fate—that his own younger sister would actually plot against his own grandson.

After a moment of silence, Qin Mo asked, "Grandpa, what do you plan to do?"

The old man did not speak.

He walked slowly to the window and looked out at the moon in the sky.

The scene suddenly fell into a heavy silence. Qin Mo was in no hurry, quietly waiting for the old man's answer.

This was to seek justice for himself; if not for the System, he likely would have starved to death long ago.

Therefore, even though they were relatives, he felt not the slightest bit soft-hearted.

"Sigh..."

The old man shook his head, then said to the guard standing nearby, "Go and make their family ordinary people..."

The guard nodded without a word and walked straight out the door.

"Grandson, are you satisfied with this result?"

Qin Mo nodded. As far as he knew, the Qin Family's assets were countless; making their family ordinary people was undoubtedly the best punishment.

After all, having grown accustomed to a life of luxury, once they were knocked off their pedestal, the gap in their lifestyle would be unimaginable.

The old man nodded.

"Alright! It's getting late, you all should head back too!"

Qin Mo nodded, bid the old man goodbye, and then slowly departed.

He also knew that he should give the old man some time to adjust. After all, she was his own sister; for him to go this far already required a great deal of effort.

After all, they might not even be relatives anymore...

Qin Mo walked out of the courtyard and saw his mother, Leng Shaoying, and his father, Qin Hua, from a distance.

The two of them walked over when they saw Qin Mo and the other person.

Qin Hua spoke first, "How did it go? Is it resolved?"

Qin Mo nodded, naturally knowing what he was referring to.

"Alright! It's good that it's resolved. She is your Great-Aunt, after all, and your grandfather didn't want things to get too ugly, but she really did cross the line this time..."

Qin Mo didn't speak. He could see that his father's expression wasn't very good. After all, having your child stolen away and then being expected to forgive the perpetrator was impossible no matter how you looked at it.

"Alright! Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go back!"

Qin Mo spoke up.

"Oh right, Moer! Your eldest sister and second sister are back!"

Leng Shaoying suddenly said.

Qin Mo was stunned. His mysterious eldest and second sisters were back?

Come to think of it, he hadn't seen them since returning to the Qin Family. This was a good chance to meet them.

Thinking of this, Qin Mo said with some excitement, "Then let's go see my sisters. I haven't met them yet!"

Everyone nodded, and then they quickly walked toward their residence.

Before long, they arrived at the Qin Family manor.

From a distance, they could see two women standing at the entrance.

The two women happily greeted Leng Shaoying when they saw her.

"Mom!"

Leng Shaoying nodded happily, then pointed at Qin Mo and said, "This is your brother, Qin Mo!"

The two women looked at Qin Mo with smiles. The woman wearing a purple long dress spoke first:

"Hello, brother! I am your eldest sister, Qin Yun."

The woman in the white long dress followed immediately after.

"I am your second sister, Qin Xuan!"

Qin Mo sized up the two women; both were rare beauties. They truly were members of the Qin Family—they were gorgeous!

"Hello, Eldest Sister, Second Sister!"

The two women pulled Qin Mo into a round of pleasantries.

They felt quite heartbroken after hearing about Qin Mo's experiences.

Afterward, everyone had a simple meal and went to sleep.

...

The next day.

Just as the sky was beginning to brighten, Murong Lanlan dragged him up.

"What are you doing?"

Qin Mo yawned, his eyes bleary with sleep.

"Oh, hurry up and get up! You're coming with me to see my parents today!"

"See your parents?"

Qin Mo instantly woke up upon hearing that.

"See your parents? What day is today? Why do I have to see your parents?"

"You... you don't know?"

Murong Lanlan's face turned slightly shy.

Qin Mo was completely bewildered.

"I don't know! No one told me!"

"This... Auntie and my parents have already set the date. Today is our engagement banquet, so of course you have to see my parents!"

"What?"

Qin Mo was dumbfounded.

I'm getting engaged? How come I didn't know?

"Oh, don't just stand there, everyone is waiting for you!"

With that, Gu Yichen followed Murong Lanlan to meet her parents in a state of utter confusion and bewilderment.

And so, Qin Mo met Murong Jiaxing and Su Qing once again.

By this time, the entire hall was packed with people. After all, it was Qin Mo's engagement banquet.

Since it was a festive occasion for a behemoth like the Qin Family, all the guests were prominent figures with status.

Among them were many of the major families from Yanjing, as well as people from the military district, most of whom had been invited by his father, Qin Hua.

The Gu Family, the Li Family, and so on...

Gu Yichen once again witnessed the extent of the Qin Family's connections; almost every prominent figure in the Dragon Kingdom was present, and there were even a few foreigners.

After Qin Mo looked into it, he realized these foreigners were all among the wealthiest people in their respective regions...

"Qin Mo!"

While Qin Mo was lost in thought, a cheerful voice called out.

Qin Mo instinctively looked over and saw that the person was Gu Mengmeng.

Come to think of it, he hadn't seen this quirky little girl in quite a while.

"Long time no see!"

Qin Mo said with a smile.

“Heehee... Congratulations, congratulations! Congrats to Young Master Qin for successfully winning over my Best Friend!”

"Mengmeng!"

Murong Lanlan, who was standing nearby, felt a bit embarrassed.

"Hehe..."

Gu Mengmeng smiled slightly.

The group began to chat and laugh together.

Elder Hu, standing to the side, looked at Qin Mo with some melancholy. He had thought Qin Mo would become the ideal son-in-law for the Gu Family, but alas, fate had other plans.

His own granddaughter hadn't managed to win him over, and he had been snatched away by the Murong Family...

Soon, the engagement banquet finally began.

As a major event for the Qin Family, everything was done according to the highest standards.

Countless luxury cars and villas were given away as gifts, not to mention gold jewelry and various luxury goods of every kind.

High-end drinks, food, pastries, and seafood were all available in abundance.

In addition, Qin Mo even saw several celebrities!

Vivian was among them.

...

Looking at the crowd, Qin Mo discreetly opened his livestream.

And he changed the title to: Nothing much going on today, just getting engaged!

In the next moment, a massive number of spectators flooded into the livestream room.

"WTF? We agreed to stay single together, how did you get a step ahead of me!"
