For others, New Year’s Eve dinner means family joy, a festive feast, a time of happiness. But this time, for the Qin family, the dinner felt particularly heavy and somber, all because Qin Pojun suddenly announced he was going to hand over the Qin family to Ye Xunhuan.

Though the atmosphere was a bit gloomy, Qin Pojun was enjoying his meal quite happily and even gave Qiu Ruoxi a big red envelope.

After all, Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan had just gotten married, and according to Huaxia traditions, when a new bride visits her relatives in the first year, the family’s elders must prepare red envelopes.

With Qin Pojun giving a red envelope, Qin Rumeng naturally didn’t want to lag behind and gave Qiu Ruoxi a big red envelope too. Then, Qin Shubo also gave one to Qiu Ruoxi.

Even Qin Shuheng had already prepared a red envelope for Qiu Ruoxi and handed it to her kindly.

Among everyone in the Qin family, only Qin Shujie hadn’t prepared anything, but no one cared about him.

Presently, everyone knows that in Qin Pojun’s mind, Qin Shujie’s image has plummeted, and after Qin Pojun passes away, when Ye Xunhuan fully takes control, there won’t be any good position left for him.

So now, no one bothers with Qin Shujie, nor does anyone pay any attention to him, and everyone treats Qin Shujie like a plague and keeps their distance from him.

Moreover, almost all the people in the Qin family would find time to chat with Ye Xunhuan, just that they all tacitly understood each other.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, everyone began leaving one by one.

When nearly everyone had left, Qin Shubo suddenly stood up and said, "Dad, I won’t stay here; I’m heading back with Zhong Wei!"

Qin Pojun nodded, "Yes, drive safely on the way back."

"I know, don’t worry!" Qin Shubo replied with a smile, "Rumeng, take good care and don’t wander around aimlessly!"

Qin Rumeng let out a light hum to express her dissatisfaction!

After speaking, Qin Shubo turned his gaze to Ye Xunhuan and said, "Xunhuan, how about seeing off your uncle?"

"Of course, there’s no problem!" Ye Xunhuan agreed promptly.

Among the Qin family members, aside from Qin Rumeng and Qin Pojun, Ye Xunhuan had the best relationship with this uncle. Now that Qin Shubo asked, Ye Xunhuan certainly wouldn’t refuse, and since Qin Shubo asked Ye Xunhuan to see him off, nine out of ten this meant he had something to say to Ye Xunhuan alone.

Then, Ye Xunhuan and Qin Shubo walked outside together.

"Xunhuan, no matter what, your second uncle is still your uncle by blood, and although he has made mistakes, he is still your mother’s brother!" Qin Shubo said softly, "Don’t make it difficult for him!"

"Uncle, if he behaves properly, I won’t do anything to him!"

Qin Shubo nodded, "Actually, your second uncle was quite decent before, but over recent years, he’s been mesmerized by power and has begun to lose himself."

Qin Shubo sighed slightly, "When your mother was just pregnant with you, your second uncle, upon knowing this, even wanted to find a way to confront the other party, risking his life."

"Uncle, I understand what you mean, don’t worry, as long as he doesn’t trouble me or do something too excessive, I won’t actively make things difficult for him!"

Qin Shubo let out a bitter laugh, "Of course I believe you, but it’s your second uncle that I’m worried about!"

"He’s now completely intoxicated by power, always wanting to keep all authority for himself, having the power firmly in hand, standing on a pedestal!" Qin Shubo said helplessly.

Everyone says that love can corrode the human heart, but hasn’t power done the same?

Once a person grasps power and realizes its benefits, they will desperately want to climb higher to gain more power.

Just like the emperors of ancient times—how many of them wished to live forever!

And why did they wish to be immortal? Totally because of power!

They stood at the top, held life-and-death power, could decide a person’s life with just one word, and lived in luxury and indulgence—how could they ever want to die?

Qin Shujie is just like that now!

"Xunhuan, I know you’re actually very filial," Qin Shubo slowly directed his gaze toward Ye Xunhuan and said softly, "If your second uncle ever makes a severely inappropriate move, I hope you won’t hurt him!"

Although Qin Shubo has no greed or desire for power, he values brotherly bonds dearly.

He doesn’t want to see any incident befall Qin Shujie, particularly because they are blood brothers!

Before Ye Xunhuan could speak, Qin Shubo spoke again, "I know you have great abilities, and dealing with a person is very simple for you!"

"Uncle, there’s no need to say more; I understand you," Ye Xunhuan replied softly, "I promise you, regardless of what he does, I’ll spare him!"

"But the premise is, he must not harm anyone around me."

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qin Shubo’s face slowly revealed a smile, "I’m relieved to hear you say that!"

As he spoke, Qin Shubo slowly extended his hand and lightly patted Ye Xunhuan, "Don’t worry, I’ll find an opportunity to talk to your second uncle."

Ye Xunhuan nodded, adding nothing more.

"Alright, the wind outside is rather strong; hurry back. The old man misses you and wants you to chat with him!"

"Drive safely!"

"Don’t worry, I’m okay."

Ye Xunhuan said nothing more and turned back toward the Qin residence.

When Ye Xunhuan returned to the Qin residence, Qin Rumeng, Qiu Ruoxi, and Qin Pojun were sitting at the Mahjong table, chatting and laughing.

As Ye Xunhuan entered, Qin Rumeng immediately called out, "Xunhuan, come over; we’re four people, perfect for a table!"

"Aunt, are you feverish? Asking me to play Mahjong with you on New Year’s Eve?"

"What’s wrong with asking you to play Mahjong? Who says you can’t play Mahjong on New Year’s Eve?"

"I’m not playing!" Ye Xunhuan firmly refused, "Playing with you isn’t fun. If I win, you’ll say I’m not respecting the elders."

"If I lose, I won’t be willing, and Grandpa, at your age, can you still see the characters on the tiles clearly?"

"I can see them perfectly!" Qin Pojun immediately retorted, "Quickly come over and play a few rounds with me!"

"Playing with you isn’t interesting; I’m not playing!" Ye Xunhuan refused again, "I’d rather watch the Spring Festival Gala!"

"There’s a rerun tomorrow; watch it then!"

"Xunhuan, it’s rare for Grandpa to want to play cards today; do you want to spoil his mood?" Qiu Ruoxi suddenly spoke up, "Come and play for a while!"

Ye Xunhuan sighed helplessly upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s words.

In fact, he was not unwilling to play; he wanted to see what was written in the letter Qin Rumeng left!

Meanwhile, when Qin Shujie returned home, he immediately began raging, smashing things non-stop!

"Little brat, what do you think you are, daring to hit me, and you, old bastard, giving the Qin family to an outsider, not even to me..."
