Chapter 678 Three Girls Fighting for One Husband
Ye Qing explained, “The New World Building is located in the most prosperous commercial street in the capital. It’s an extensive shopping mall, worth at least 3 billion yuan.”
“3 billion yuan?”
Qin Haodong was so surprised that he almost bit his tongue. He was not surprised by the amount of money, but he did not understand why Wei Junce would give away such an a.s.set to him. That was a big deal.
What the Zhao and Han families did was reasonable. They had a grudge against him, after all and they wanted to resolve the conflict in this way.
However, the Weis were different. They had nothing to do with each other and there was no conflict between them. Why was he so eager to marry his granddaughter to him?
He did not think of himself as the hero in fantasy novels, who made everyone kneel the moment he showed up.
The masters of the aristocratic families were experienced and cunning and they must have ulterior motives for each and every move.
Wei Junce promised to give him a shopping mall without any hesitation. He wanted his granddaughter to get close to Qin Haodong and figure out the secret of the ninth-level grand masters at any cost.
Even if she could not find the secret, she might become a ninth-level grand master herself, which was good enough for their family. He was even willing to spend 30 billion yuan on it.
Chu Xuanyue looked at the three old men who were fighting for her son and felt proud. In the entire capital, only her son was outstanding enough for the masters of the three aristocratic families to compete for.
She raised her hand to stop the three old men who were still arguing with each other and said, “Mr. Masters, thank you for your appreciation. But you must have heard that my son has a wife.”
Zhao Cangqiong immediately said, “President Chu, it doesn’t matter. I know he already has the daughter of the Qi family. But I can immediately send my granddaughter over and let her be your daughter-in-law as long as you agree.”
Han Wuji followed suit, “That’s right. It’s quite normal for a man to have more than one wife. This is common in big families and we are not bothered about it.”
Wei Junce said, “That’s right. Capable men must have more than one woman around him and only those useless boys will remain bachelors. So we Wei family also do not care about it.”
Qin Haodong was astonished by their impudence. The granddaughter of the masters of the three n.o.ble families would be treated like a G.o.ddess in any family. But now they were willing to be his concubines.
Zhao Cangqiong, in particular, was eloquent and friendly, as if he had already forgotten that Qin Haodong had just taken Qi Waner from their family. This old man was really a schemer.
Chu Xuanyue said, “To tell you the truth, the girl from the Qi family is not his only girlfriend. All the four girls you saw at the Qi family are his women. So I don’t think it’s appropriate for your granddaughters to marry him.”
Wei Junce said, “It’s not a big deal. I’ve mentioned before that the more capable a man is, the more women he has. We don’t care how many girlfriends he has.”
After hearing what Chu Xuanyue said, he was even more sure of Wei Junkuo’s guess. It was strange that all Qin Haodong’s girlfriends were ninth-level grand masters.
As long as his granddaughter had s.e.x with him, she would at least become a ninth-level grand master. If she could find the secret behind it, the Wei family would definitely rise sharply. So he had to finalize the engagement today.
Zhao Cangqiong then said, “Yes, I also think so. It’s definitely a good thing for her to marry Qin Haodong. She would not suffer any hards.h.i.+p.”
Han Wuji said, “It’s the nature of men to want more than one wife. We are not bothered about it and my granddaughter will not feel wronged.”
Ye Qing, who was standing next to him, pinched his arm once again and said, “What’s so good about you? Why are the three old men so eager to send their granddaughters over here?”
Qin Haodong said innocently, “How can you blame me? Maybe I’m too handsome.”
“Hey! Get over yourself!”
Ye Qing rolled her eyes at him and said, “All the three beauties have countless suitors and there are also handsome men among them. Why are their parents choosing you?”
Chu Xuanyue did not know what to do now. All the three old men would not give up until they achieved their purpose and she found it difficult to refuse them.
“Masters, although Haodong is my son, there are still some things that I can’t decide for him. How about this? I’ll give you an answer after discussing with him.”
The three old men looked at each other and did not know what to say. They were obviously not satisfied with this result. They were eager to marry their granddaughters now, so they could immediately find the secret behind it.
However, the engagement could not be rushed. Zhao Cangqiong replied, “Well, fine then. We Zhao family will wait for your reply. Don’t worry. My granddaughter is just 20 years old and she will not marry anyone else except your son. We can wait.”
Han Wuji said, “Yes, it’s also the same for us. I’ve already made a decision and from today, my granddaughter will be your daughter-in-law. I will wait for your approval.”
Wei Junce said, “I’m going back to prepare the dowry. We’ll send our granddaughter over immediately once you give us a reply.”
Chu Xuanyue was speechless, but at least the three old men finally left the house.
After the guests left, the direct descendants of the Qi family immediately held a closed door emergency meeting.
Qi Guofan said, “Let’s go over what happened today. How should we deal with it?”
Qi Yuhu, Qi Waner’s second uncle, said, “Master, what happened today really disgraced our whole family. How dare she openly disobey your order and go against the marriage, with the boy from the Qin family.”
“I don’t think she can still be a member of our family any more. She should be expelled immediately.”
s.h.i.+ Zhixuan hurriedly said, “Wan’er has made a mistake, but she just wants to find a boyfriend on her own. It’s not a big deal, so why should she be expelled from the family?”
Qi Yuhu said, “Just a small mistake? Do you know how great is the loss that she has brought to our Qi family? She made us lose face in front of the other six families!”
“We’re one of the top aristocratic family in the capital and we’re different from the ordinary people. Reputation is what all we want!”
“If Qi Waner is not severely punished today, anyone can refuse the marriage arranged by our family. That will be crazy!”
Although he and Qi Yulong were brothers, they did not get along very well with each other. Both of them wanted to be the next master and finally Qi Yuhu seized the opportunity to defeat Yulong and he would not let him off.
Qi Yulong also knew what he was thinking. Now that the engagement party was over, he had calmed down and was ready to take action.
“Brother, what do you mean? I don’t think Wan’er should be punished, instead, she deserves to be rewarded.”
Qi Yuhu sneered and said, “Brother, what are you talking about? I really don’t understand. Wan’er has disgraced our family and she deserves a reward? Does that make any sense to you?”
Qi Guofan was sitting silently, as his two sons argued bitterly with each other. Qi Guoyin, the First Elder and Qi Guozhong, the Second Elder sat on either side of him. They were also silent.
The three old men had the same idea. They wanted to test Qi Yulong and Qi Yuhu’s ability through this matter.
Qi Yulong said, “Brother, have you forgotten that Wan’er’s boyfriend is a ninth-level grand master? If we had known that her boyfriend was so outstanding, do you think our Qi family would still be engaged to the Zhao family?”
The entire room fell into silence. The Qi family had been confused by the events that occurred at the engagement party, but they finally calmed down. Everyone realized that Qi Yulong was right. Although Qin Haodong had taken Qi Waner away, he was a ninth-level grand master.
“What…”
Qi Yuhu had wanted to take this opportunity to defeat his elder brother, but he did not know what to say now.
As a member of an aristocratic family, he was very clear about the importance of a ninth-level grand master to his family. If Master had known about Qin Haodong’s cultivation in advance, he would not have arranged a marriage with the Zhao family.
Seeing Qi Yuhu becoming speechless, Qi Yulong said complacently, “Qin Haodong is a ninth-level grand master and he also has hundreds of strong masters under his command. Besides, there are also another four ninth-level grand masters around him.”
“If we can make use of such strong powers, we Qi family will rise sharply. In the future, there will be no other seven well-known families and our Qi family will be the top one in the capital!”
“Well…”
Qi Yuhu had nothing to say now. He was very clear about the rules of the aristocratic families. There were no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Reputation is important, but it could not be compared with interests.
At this time, Qi Guofan, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke up. He looked at Qi Yulong with approval and said, “Yulong is right. Wan’er should not be punished and we need to reward her.”
“The party is over and the engagement has also been dissolved now. This must be G.o.d’s will and let’s just forget about the marriage plan between the Qi and Zhao families.”
“No matter what, Wan’er is the descendant of our Qi family, a fact which can’t be denied. Since she has been with Qin Haodong, he is the son-in-law of our family.”
Qi Yuhu was still a little unconvinced and said, “Master, the other aristocratic families will definitely accuse us of bad faith.”
“What are you talking about?” Qi Guofan glared at Qi Yuhu and said, “Just use your brain and learn from your brother. Do you think that the other families will laugh at us if we admit that Qin Haodong is our son-in-law?”
“That’s impossible! They will be jealous. It’s very simple because the other families do not have a son-in-law who has reached the ninth-level of the Supreme Power Realm?”
