Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife

Qin Lan also stood up and declared, word by word, "Grandfather, I’ve returned to the Qin Family today for one sole purpose: to take the reins of the family into my own hands! I, Qin Lan, am qualified to do so."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Qin frowned. "Impossible."

"Though you are somewhat capable, that’s all you are," he continued. "You, a woman, are not suited for great responsibility. Our Qin Family has such a longstanding legacy, and we have never had a woman in power!"

Old Master Qin, having held a high position for many years, carried a natural and imposing aura. The pressure made it somewhat difficult for Qin Lan to breathe. But Chen Xiao has already done so much for me. How can I back down now?

After taking a deep breath, she stated with conviction, "Grandfather, my father sacrificed himself to protect the Qin Family, leaving me to grow up in a single-parent home and suffer endless scorn! And when the Qin Family was in peril, it was my mother who stepped forward to save us from the brink of disaster!

"Now, look at their urns and say again that I, a woman, am not fit to lead the Qin Family."

Qin Lan pointed toward the two urns.

Old Master Qin’s face turned as black as coal, an ugly sight to behold.

"If not for my father, half of the Qin Family’s properties would have been devoured by other families! Without my mother, the Qin Family would have gone bankrupt by now, and all of you would be living on the streets!

"To put it bluntly, the Qin Family’s continued existence today isn’t due to ancestral blessings or accumulated fortune, but because my parents turned the tide against impossible odds! If I, their daughter, am not qualified to inherit what they left behind, then who is?!"

This statement thoroughly infuriated Qin Tianwei.

"Audacious! Qin Lan, are you questioning me?"

Qin Lan scoffed. "I can do without taking control of the Qin Family. Just give me back everything my mother left me. The Hongfeng Clubhouse, the Menghua Casino... I recall that these Qin Family properties were all established by her, were they not?"

Qin Tianwei trembled with rage. The properties Qin Lan mentioned were the Qin Family’s most important sources of income. How could he possibly give them up for her? It was out of the question, even if she was his own granddaughter. Besides, from the moment their relationship had fractured, Qin Tianwei no longer considered her his granddaughter.

He spoke slowly, word by word, "Considering you are my granddaughter, I will give you one hundred million yuan. Take it and leave the Qin Family forever. For a woman, a quiet and simple life is best. Don’t harbor such grand delusions, and don’t let yourself be used as someone else’s weapon!"

Hearing this, Qin Lan sneered, "Is that so? And what if... I insist on taking control of the Qin Family today?"

"Then your grandfather will have no choice but to get rough." As Qin Tianwei spoke, a commotion of footsteps echoed from outside, and more than ten fierce-looking Martial Artists rushed in.

Qin Tianwei said coldly, "As the foremost family in Zhonghai, the Qin Family’s foundations are far more profound than you..."

Before he could finish, a blur flashed past him.

"AHHH—" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

A series of screams erupted as the Martial Artists were sent flying out of the main hall like sandbags. In an instant, not a single one remained.

Chen Xiao simply walked back from the other side. "Old Master Qin, what were you saying just now?"

Qin Tianwei’s eyes widened in shock, his heart seizing. These Martial Artists... one of our family’s most important trump cards... were wiped out so easily by this kid? Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!

He looked at Chen Xiao with fear in his eyes, yet he was too proud to soften his tone. "Young man, you may have some skill, but there are still rules to follow! This is a Qin Family matter, and an outsider like you has no right to interfere!"

"Rules?" Chen Xiao chuckled lightly. "Today, my rules are the only rules that matter!"

"Old Master Qin, I advise you not to be stubborn. Hand over control to Qin Lan, and you can still live out your days in comfort. Otherwise, if we truly throw all pretenses aside, I can’t guarantee what I might do."

"You... you’re threatening me?!" Qin Tianwei felt deeply provoked. As the Patriarch of the Qin Family, he had been respected by thousands for many years. When had he ever suffered such humiliation? This mere boy dares to be so audacious toward me? And I am her grandfather!

Chen Xiao stated deliberately, "Threatening you? Isn’t it obvious?"

Arrogant! Presumptuous! The members of the Qin Family felt their lungs would explode with rage, but a deep sense of powerlessness washed over them. This man was immune to persuasion and threats alike. He was determined to wreak havoc on the Qin Family today.

Just then, from deep within the Qin Family estate, an ancient voice called out, "Young man, you’ve crossed the line! The Qin Family is not a place for you to behave so recklessly!"

Upon hearing this voice, the eyes of Qin Tianwei, Qin Long, and the others lit up with excitement.

"It’s... Great-Grandfather!" Qin Cang was also overjoyed.

A gust of wind swept through the hall as an elderly man in grey robes appeared. He looked unremarkable, yet his aura was perfectly contained, giving him an unfathomable air.

"Dad," even Qin Tianwei called out.

The Qin Family’s Elder Patriarch stared at Chen Xiao. "On account of your youth and the difficulty of your cultivation, this old man will allow you to leave today. Take this girl and be gone. Otherwise, if I make a move, your life is forfeit!"

Qin Lan grew nervous. The man before her was the Elder Patriarch of the Qin Family—her great-grandfather! It was because of his existence that even a powerful entity like the Ling Family didn’t dare to push the Qin Family too far. But the Elder Patriarch was over a hundred years old and would not emerge from seclusion unless the family faced a true existential threat.

She had never imagined that today’s disturbance would alarm this living fossil of the Qin Family! The reason the Qin Family stood at the pinnacle of Zhonghai was precisely because of him.

His strength is unfathomable! Could Chen Xiao possibly be his match?
