64: Chapter 64 The Humble Qin Peifeng

"You don't need to worry about that; I already have a plan."

"Young Master, there is one more thing. The Master wants you to return home tonight."

Home? That is certainly not his home. To him, it is a place that devours people without spitting out the bones.

Qin Peifeng nodded.

"I know. I will go back."

Qin Peifeng and his companion arrived at the Qin Family mansion and stood at the entrance. Thinking of the moments he had been humiliated, Qin Peifeng's hands clenched tightly. He wondered what tonight would bring.

Whoosh. A flashy Porsche pulled up in front of them.

"Yo! Who is this? Daring to stand at the main entrance of the Qin Family."

Just as Qin Peifeng was about to enter the Qin Family gate, a surprised voice called out. Qin Peifeng knew who it was without turning around. This was his so-called older brother, Qin Zhiyuan.

One could tell from their names who was most favored in the entire family. Qin Zhiyuan—tranquil and far-reaching. Qin Peifeng—merely a foil.

Qin Peifeng plastered a smile on his face. He turned his head and said respectfully,

"Older Brother, you're back so early?"

"Older Brother? Who are you calling that? Am I your older brother? I wasn't aware. Don't just start calling me Older Brother the moment you arrive! We aren't that close, are we?" Qin Zhiyuan said disdainfully.

"If that's the case, why did you come here?" Qin Peifeng retorted, a rare occurrence.

"Heh! You piece of trash, you dare to talk back to me?" Hearing Qin Peifeng retort, Qin Zhiyuan felt insulted.

"That is only because I learned it from you. Perhaps this is a case of 'one takes on the attributes of those one associates with'." Qin Peifeng said respectfully.

Qin Zhiyuan's face turned livid. This piece of trash had only gone abroad once, yet he had become so sharp-tongued. Thinking of how he used to be so timid and submissive in front of him, and seeing him now speaking with such cold sarcasm, a fierce glint flashed in Qin Zhiyuan's eyes.

Qin Zhiyuan snorted coldly, suppressing his anger.

"Not bad, you little piece of trash! You're becoming more and more savvy. I didn't expect your mouth to become so sharp after being abroad for a few years! I'm afraid no one can compare to you now. However, the road ahead is still long. You must be very careful when you walk in the future; if something were to happen to you, I would be heartbroken." Qin Zhiyuan said caustically.

"That won't require your concern, Older Brother. I have been cautious since I was young. Even if others wanted to trample me to death, I still survived. Older Brother should be the one to pay attention. After all, a body worn out by daily debauchery might not be able to handle it." Qin Peifeng smiled faintly and said meaningfully.

Damn trash! He actually dared to say his body was not up to par.

Just as Qin Zhiyuan was preparing to step forward and slap Qin Peifeng twice, the Qin Family butler intervened.

"Eldest Young Master, Young Master, it is almost time. The Master is still waiting for you."

This butler had been standing on the side watching the show from the beginning. Seeing Qin Peifeng being bullied, he didn't say a single word. This was enough to show the extent to which Qin Peifeng was unfavored in this household.

Qin Zhiyuan finally realized. He was not on his own turf right now; he was at the entrance of his own home. His father might be watching from the window. He couldn't ruin his image.

"Oh! Uncle Li, why didn't you say so earlier? My father is waiting for me. If you had said so earlier, I wouldn't have wasted so much time bickering with this piece of trash." Qin Zhiyuan said coquettishly to the butler.

"Alright, alright, Eldest Young Master. Let's say it's my fault, okay? Hurry and go in, the Master is really waiting." The butler looked at Qin Zhiyuan dotingly.

After saying this, Qin Zhiyuan took the butler and went inside, leaving only Qin Peifeng and Shen Long behind.

Just as he stepped onto the stairs, Qin Zhiyuan turned his head and said,

"Irrelevant people should not come to attend our family banquet. You should know who I am talking about."

Qin Peifeng turned to look at Shen Long, and Shen Long nodded in understanding.

"Young Master, I will wait for you in the car."

Seeing Shen Long, who was very self-aware, a look of disdain appeared on Qin Zhiyuan's face.

At this moment, Qin Zhan had already been sitting at the dining table waiting for them for a long time.

"Tell me, you two. You both knew today was a family banquet, yet you came back so late. Are you trying to turn the world upside down?" Qin Zhan said with a stern face.

Seeing that Qin Zhan was a bit angry, Qin Zhiyuan changed his usual playful attitude and said very seriously,

"Dad, our company is busy. I only managed to finish up and return with great difficulty. Who knew I would run into Peifeng at the entrance? I just chatted with him for a bit, which delayed things."

With this statement, Qin Zhiyuan cleared himself completely, as if all the fault lay with Qin Peifeng.

"Alright, alright, come over and eat."

Qin Zhiyuan sat triumphantly next to Qin Zhan, looking with a smile at Qin Peifeng, who was still standing in place.

"What are you still standing there for? Do you expect me to invite you? How is it that after studying abroad for a few years, you have such great airs? Can't you even be invited to eat a meal now?"

Qin Zhan slammed his chopsticks onto the table, looking at Qin Peifeng with some anger.

"Dad, you don't know. Just now at the entrance, I kindly greeted my younger brother, but he ignored me. I don't even know what I did wrong to make him so angry."

Qin Zhiyuan, not fearing that things wouldn't be chaotic enough, continued to add fuel to the fire.

"Father, if you have something to say about calling me back, just say it directly."

Qin Peifeng looked indifferent.

"What, I can't call you back for a meal? Are you really that high and mighty now?"

Qin Zhan's face was slightly twisted.

"Why bother, Father? You know very well in your heart. You don't want to see me, and I know it. Why make things difficult for yourself and do things you don't want to do?"

"You, don't be so ungrateful. I saw that you hadn't been home for a few years, and now that you've finally returned, I wanted to welcome you back. I didn't expect you to still have this attitude—a dog can't change its habit of eating excrement."

Qin Zhan pointed his finger at Qin Peifeng and scolded him.

"Then I will thank you for your good intentions here. I have other things to do, so I will be leaving first."

After saying this, Qin Peifeng turned to leave.

"You stand right there. Did I tell you that you could leave? Who gave you the guts?"

Qin Zhan stood up and walked towards Qin Peifeng.

Slap. A crisp sound of a slap rang out in the living room.

Qin Peifeng covered his face. He couldn't help but lower his head and smile. Sure enough, even after being away from home for so many years, he still couldn't escape the attribute of being beaten!

"Are you satisfied now, Father? If you still haven't vented your anger, I can let you hit the other side of my face."

Qin Peifeng did not resist at all, letting Qin Zhan do whatever he pleased.

"Are you that unwilling to stay in this home? If so, then get out and don't come back. Let me tell you, Qin Peifeng, I might live more comfortably without you."

"Then I shall grant your wish, Father. Do not call me back again in the future, so as not to dirty your eyes."

After finishing, Qin Peifeng left.

Qin Zhiyuan sat at the dining table, laughing gleefully.

Seeing that Qin Peifeng had left, he immediately went up to support Qin Zhan.

"Dad, don't be angry, don't be angry. You know what he's like. Hasn't he been like this since he was a child?"

Qin Zhan listened to Qin Zhiyuan's words and shook his head helplessly.

"I don't know who this child takes after."
