When Ye Xunhuan and Qin Shujie parted ways, the night had already shrouded the entire land, and although Qin Shujie was not drunk to the point of inebriation, he was almost there.

Originally, Ye Xunhuan intended to drive Qin Shujie home, but Qin Shujie refused, saying he had someone to pick him up!

And indeed, someone came to pick up Qin Shujie and took him away.

After Qin Shujie left, Ye Xunhuan also drove away.

But shortly after setting off, Ye Xunhuan stopped the car, took out the note Qin Shujie had slipped him, opened it, and read it.

Upon seeing the words on the note, Ye Xunhuan’s expression changed immediately, and a deep shadow flashed in his eyes!

"Clueless fool!"

With those words, Ye Xunhuan used a lighter to burn the note.

After burning the piece of paper, Ye Xunhuan drove towards the Qin family again.

When Ye Xunhuan returned to the Qin family, Qin Pojun was having dinner with Qiu Ruoxi and Qin Rumeng.

Seeing Ye Xunhuan return, Qin Pojun immediately said, "Join us for some more food!"

"No, thanks!" Ye Xunhuan shook his head gently and said, "I’m already full!"

"Then sit down and let’s chat." Qin Pojun said casually.

Ye Xunhuan had already guessed that if he returned, Qin Pojun would definitely want to chat with him, especially since he went out with Qin Shujie before. Qin Pojun naturally wanted to know what was going on.

Sure enough, as soon as Ye Xunhuan sat down, Qin Pojun asked, "What did you talk about with your uncle?"

As soon as Qin Pojun spoke, Qiu Ruoxi and Qin Rumeng both turned their eyes towards Ye Xunhuan.

Earlier, when Qiu Ruoxi and Qin Rumeng came back and didn’t see Ye Xunhuan, they asked Qin Pojun and learned from him that Ye Xunhuan was called away by Qin Shujie.

They, too, were curious about why Qin Shujie sought out Ye Xunhuan.

After all, Ye Xunhuan and Qin Shujie were practically incompatible, yet Qin Shujie actively approached him and even had a meal together—how could they not be curious?

"We didn’t really talk about anything." Ye Xunhuan said lightly, "Just talked about random things."

As soon as Ye Xunhuan finished speaking, Qin Rumeng chimed in, "I think he’s realized that the game is set, and he has no hope of becoming the head of the Qin family, so he’s eager to get on your good side. That way, even if you take charge, you won’t do anything to him!"

Qin Rumeng wasn’t being overly cynical; most people would think that way.

After all, it’s human nature, a completely normal occurrence.

Ye Xunhuan smiled and didn’t explain further.

Some things aren’t suitable to discuss here, and some things shouldn’t be said at all.

Qin Pojun also didn’t defend Qin Shujie, he just sighed slightly, clearly agreeing somewhat with Qin Rumeng.

However, Qin Pojun wasn’t overly concerned about it. What he cared about was everyone getting along, not what schemes they held in their hearts.

And even now, doesn’t everyone have their own agendas?

So Qin Pojun could understand.

Sitting to the side, Qiu Ruoxi naturally wouldn’t say anything. Though she was Ye Xunhuan’s wife, strictly speaking, she was still an outsider.

Unless Ye Xunhuan truly took control of the Qin family and Qiu Ruoxi became the matriarch, she would still be considered an outsider.

"Dad, I say you should crush all their little schemes, take this opportunity!" Qin Rumeng said again, "Clear the way for Xunhuan!"

"Aunt, there’s no need for that." Ye Xunhuan said lightly.

"How is there no need..."

At this moment, Qin Pojun suddenly spoke, "Rumeng, you’re in a position of power, don’t you know what’s needed to control others?"

Qin Rumeng immediately fell silent.

"As someone in power, beyond authority and wealth, you must give others hope. Only when they see hope will they work for you, and if you use your means well, they’ll be unwaveringly loyal to you."

Qin Pojun’s gaze slowly fell on Qiu Ruoxi, "What do you think, Ruoxi?"

Qiu Ruoxi didn’t expect Qin Pojun to ask her, which made her pause slightly. After pondering, she slowly said, "Grandfather, to control others, one can’t rely solely on these things; it also requires heart!"

"Between people, without trust there’s no interaction; with trust comes longevity. Heart to heart, mutual respect fosters affection, mutual love fosters truth. Don’t deceive hearts, don’t hurt feelings." Qiu Ruoxi said softly, "To use the words of the ancients: ’When the ruler treats his ministers like hands and feet, the ministers regard the ruler as their heart; when the ruler treats ministers like dogs and horses, they regard him as a noble; when he treats them like dirt, they see him as an enemy.’

"Heaven and earth have limits, so do rulers and subjects. As long as the limits are understood, everything remains balanced, nothing will break it..."

Qin Pojun’s face slowly showed a deep satisfaction.

"Well said!" Qin Pojun said, extremely satisfied, "Rumeng, you don’t have Ruoxi’s insight."

"Dad, what’s the use of ’insight’, the point is control, it’s about methods..."

"Do you think Xunhuan lacks methods, or can’t control them?"

"Of course he can!" Qin Rumeng said without hesitation, "And who’s nephew is he, after all!"

"There you go."

As soon as Qin Pojun finished speaking, Qin Rumeng realized she had been led into a trap by Qin Pojun, and it was a trap laid quite unexpectedly.

"Dad, you tricked me..."

Qin Pojun chuckled, "I didn’t mean to trick you, but isn’t there a saying, ’deep affections are fleeting, only schemes win hearts’!"

"You..."

"Aunt, don’t worry, the second uncle isn’t as bad as you think." Ye Xunhuan said softly.

"You had a meal with him and got brainwashed?" Qin Rumeng immediately focused on Ye Xunhuan, "You’re even speaking up for him!"

"Aunt, I’m not speaking for him, I’m confident I can control anyone." Ye Xunhuan said assuredly, "Even if he wants to do something, he can’t cause a big wave, and I may not even give him the chance!"

As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but recall the note Qin Shujie had slipped him and the words written on it!
