Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands-Chapter 506: If you are a fool don’t act wise
"Should I congratulate you for a new addition then?" Luo Yeqing asked calmly. Though she understood what the old woman was trying to do, she didn't jump in the pit that Old Madam Qi was digging for her.
When Old Madam Qi heard the words of Luo Yeqing, her lips twitched. She blinked her eyes and then stated, "Then I will have to thank you, Madam Luo. By the way, Madam Luo about that contract," without wasting another second, Old Madam Qi jumped straight to the point .
Old Madam Qi knew that it would not be easy to get Luo Yeqing to agree with their suggestion but there was no other choice. Qi Yongrui was a failure; even though they raised him for so many years; he couldn't do such a simple job as getting his hands on Luo Huian's core blood.
Not to mention he had also bewitched Qi Changpu. The fact that her granddaughter actually called out the name of her adoptive brother when she was sleeping with her husband —it was embarrassing and humiliating.
If someone was to find out the crux of the trouble, she was sure that their family would surely lose face. Thus, when the Wen family suggested that they send Qi Yongrui to that village where people disappeared without a trace, they agreed.
After all, they couldn't do anything to Qi Changpu. She was their darling eldest daughter but Qi Yongrui was their adopted son; he could be discarded at will.
The only problem was the contract between the Qi and the Luo family.
Before Old Madam Qi could finish speaking, Luo Yeqing raised her hand and said to the old woman in a stern voice, "Old Madam Qi, there is no need to bring up this matter. While I do understand your concerns, the one who signed the contract was Qi Yongrui."
"I understand but now he is missing—"
"Then shouldn't you look for him?" Luo Yeqing asked with a raised brow. She didn't say any harsh words but it still made Old Madam Qi flush red in embarrassment.
"We did try to look for him but there is no information about him." Old Madam Qi tried to wriggle her way around the matter and then changed the topic. "Anyway, Madam Luo.. Second Miss Luo didn't like that grandson of mine either. Since that is the case, then shouldn't it be fine if my other grandson fulfils the contract?"
"No," Luo Yeqing refused at once. In the past, she agreed with the Qi family proposal for two reasons. One, her dearest daughter got into a fight with Qi Changpu and caused that woman to land in the hospital for three months. Back then, the Qi family was making a lot of fuss, saying that they wanted to sue Luo Huian and throw her in prison for what she did.

How could Luo Yeqing agree to such a thing?
Secondly, Qi Yongrui was a genius business mer. He knew what he wanted and he knew how to get the thing that he desired. He was controlled and calm.
Luo Yeqing was worried that her daughter would bring the business down even if she handed her the shares of the Luo corporation; thus, she agreed to let Qi Yongrui marry Luo Huian.
It was a win-win situation for both the parties but now that her daughter was back on the track, how could she agree to such a messy agreement again?
Not to mention.
She turned her head and looked at the little mer who was sitting beside Old Madam Qi.
Scheming, selfish and quick for small benefits. Luo Yeqing was quite skilled when it came to judging people connected to her benefits. Though this skill didn't work in her personal life, it did help out in her professional life.
Such a mer sitting on the seat of the patriarch of the Luo family? That would turn their family into an even bigger joke.
She sighed and refused again, "I am sorry, Old Madam Qi. But we both have to agree on one thing, which is that the marriage contract was between Qi Yongrui and my youngest daughter. You cannot change the contract at will."
"But–"
"I held my side of the contract all these years." Luo Yeqing didn't let the old woman bring up the old scores. "When you asked me to sign the contract, I agreed in exchange for you letting go of my daughter and in return I have helped your family all these years, the two families were connected and I have done my share."
"But just because I have agreed to all of your unreasonable demands, doesn't mean that we will agree with every request that you put forth. Your grandson went missing? Then you need to look for him instead of bringing a substitute and asking my daughter to take him in."
"By doing so, where do you think you are putting my daughter's face? Do you think she is some kind of child? If one toy broke, you will bring another one and replace it and she will not find out."
Luo Yeqing sighed and added her final comments, "I am telling you, Old Madam Qi, it's impossible. My daughter will not agree and neither will I. If your grandson has gone missing, then you better bring him back as your family was the one who sent him to the business deal."
"If not then we will re-think about what to do with the contract."
After she finished speaking she asked her assistant to send Old Madam Qi and the little mer away.
"Madam —" Old Madam Qi wanted to say something but when she saw that the assistant beside Luo Yeqing was asking her to leave, she was too embarrassed to stay. She blinked her eyes and lowered her head before walking out of the office.
Once the two of them walked inside the elevator, Old Madam Qi raised her hand and slapped the little mer harshly.
"Useless thing!" Old Madam Qi scolded the little mer fiercely. "You couldn't even charm that old woman. All you had to do was flash her a smile and please her, why couldn't you do something so simple?"
The little mer felt wronged. He wanted to please Luo Yeqing as well but that woman never looked at him from start to finish nor did she question him. It was clear that she didn't see him as a prospective son in law. She had no interest in him and wanted nothing to do with him.
How could he charm someone who didn't want to be charmed? This old woman didn't even see the ins and outs of the matter and just blamed him.
Though he was annoyed, the little mer could not do anything. His family had more or less sold him off to the Qi family, now even if he was treated as a slave, he could only lower his head and suffer in silence.
Inside the office, Luo Yeqing rubbed the space between her eyebrows and asked her assistant, "Is it true? No one can contact Qi Yongrui?"
Assistant Zhou promptly replied, "It is indeed the case. Master Ye did try to contact the first son in law but no matter how many times he called him, the phone was switched off and not once it was turned on."
"Send a few people to look for him." Luo Yeqing didn't have much emotion towards her sons-in-law. They were not what she wanted for her daughter but they were the lesser evil. At least compared to that chaotic mer, they were still a tad bit reasonable.
"B–Brother," Cui Yuan Dan looked at her brother with teary eyes and said to him, "please forgive me, I never wanted to do this either. It was Luo Huian, she was the one who schemed against me. I had everything planned."
Cui Sihao who was sitting on a large chair looked down at his sister who was kneeling with her hands raised in the air. He curled his lips and stated in a cold voice, "You had everything planned? Then how did we end up losing the mansion?"
He raised his hand and threw the contract that was sent to his mailbox this morning. He was speechless and stunned. At first he thought that it was a prank but then, when he called his lawyer, he found out that his good sister had done such a good thing.
The contract was fully legal and binding, which meant that they had no choice but to hand the mansion to the Luo family. This house which had more than 800 years of history was given away just like that if not for the fact that this woman was his sister, he would have made her into a beauty vase and sold her to the eastern desert.
"Brother, I —"
"Cui Yuandan, I have said it many times, if you are a fool then you need to accept that you are a fool! Why do you have to act smart when you cannot do shit!?"
