Chapter 976: Chapter 970: The Inside Story_1

“I didn’t realize there was such a matter involved. It’s a relief that none of you got hurt.” The old lady only then realized how risky her son and daughter-in-law’s business dealings had been. She was relieved that the threat had not resulted in any physical harm, or she didn’t know whether her frail body could take it.

“Yes, Mom, why haven’t you and Dad ever told us about this?” Qin Xue knew that conducting business could attract envy, but she hadn’t thought it would make people dissatisfied so quickly.

“Why should we tell you? We could handle it. There’s no need for you to worry about it,” Qin Lei retorted. They weren’t afraid at that time themselves, after all.

“Dad, what are you talking about? If we don’t find out from you, we’ll worry more when we hear it from someone else,” Qin Xue was exasperated. Didn’t they understand that being informed by others when they only knew half the story would make them even more anxious?

“Isn’t everything alright now?” After hearing his daughter’s comment, Qin Lei realized they hadn’t thought it through. As their daughter said, they didn’t want their children to worry, but the children would worry anyway if they found out.

“Next time something happens, you mustn’t hide it from us, okay?” Qin Xue advised anxiously.

“Alright, why are you worrying so much all of a sudden?” Nangong Shulan replied to her daughter’s comment.

“If you don’t keep us in the dark, I wouldn’t worry. You’ve never done business before, and there’s no one backing you up here. It’s a good thing everything turned out well.” Chu Molin joined in when he saw his wife being admonished. They didn’t know who had helped them, but Chu Molin thought of one person – Qin Lang. During their time in the Imperial Capital, Qin Lang had mentioned he would look into some matters when he travelled for work. Chu Molin figured he meant he wanted to investigate his wife’s family background.

In his opinion, there was no point in looking into it. The family had been good to them and didn’t mistreat them. It didn’t seem necessary to him, but it was important to Qin Lang because Qin Xue and her siblings might be his family. That’s why Chu Molin didn’t stop Qin Lang when he started his investigation.

Thinking that Qin Lang was helping his father-in-law’s family, he couldn’t tell them that Qin Lang was involved. If they knew Qin Lang was looking into what happened twenty years ago, he figured they wouldn’t be pleased. So he decided to act like he didn’t know.

“Shulan, all the troubles you had back then — you didn’t tell us anything. Now that I know, it gives me the chills. It’s a good thing everything is over now, and everything is fine.” Lin Cuiping hadn’t expected that her brother-in-law’s business would involve such matters.

Because their business had been going smoothly and there hadn’t been any troubles, she and her husband hadn’t known that someone was trying to trip them. They owe their success to her brother-in-law and sister-in-law’s help.

“Exactly, we’re all brothers. Brothers should help each other out. How could you not tell us anything when you were in trouble?” Qin Chaoyang looked at his younger brother. His younger brother had always been stronger than him. Being the eldest, most of their parents’ attention had always been on him.

He didn’t expect that his younger brother would still solve his problems on his own, without telling him or the rest of the family a thing.

“What did I do wrong? The incident has passed, can’t we just drop it? From now on, if anything happens, we’ll talk it out and solve it together, okay?” Qin Lei felt as though he had committed a grave crime. He found it all so frustrating. He had just wanted to prevent them from worrying. How had that become his fault?
