The Revenge of the Reborn Supreme Sovereign-Chapter 101 - 98: They’ll soon regret it!

Confidence? In Qin Fan? If only it were possible, they would truly want to have confidence in him! But no one knows a son better than his mother. How could Wei Shuying not be perfectly clear about Qin Fan’s academic performance?

His grades were mediocre, right in the middle of the pack. Yet, with such average results, he had chosen to take every single subject’s exam in one go. If that wasn’t foolishness, what was? How could they possibly feel confident about such a ridiculous act?

"Xiao Fan, let’s take a step back for a moment. Even if you really had the ability, is there any need to stand out like this? You’ve already endured twelve years of arduous study; can’t you just get through these last few hours of exams? This will only make you a laughingstock! It will make the Qin family look down on us even more. Don’t you understand!"

By the end, when she mentioned the Qin family, a trace of sorrow crept into Wei Shuying’s expression of frustration over his lack of ambition.

"Qin Fan, don’t blame your mother for scolding you! You’ve gone too far! As the saying goes, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. Do you really think this behavior is appropriate?" When dealing with Qin Fan, Qin Chu and his wife had always played good cop, bad cop. Since Wei Shuying couldn’t hold back her scolding this time, Qin Chu could only try to guide him with gentle persuasion.

The Qin family looking down on me? Why would my reincarnated self care about a mere family like them? As for the nail that sticks out getting hammered down? I couldn’t care less about that either.

Having returned from five hundred lonely years on the Cangqiong Continent, he no longer cared about anyone else’s opinion. He only sought a carefree existence, following his own heart and whims.

But these were clearly not things he could say to his parents.

Facing his parents’ admonishments, he smiled faintly, then his expression turned serious. "Mom, Dad! The past is the past, whether I was pathetic or useless. It’s all over! From now on, I will not let you down. I absolutely will not! That’s a guarantee and my promise to you. Trust me!"

Faced with Qin Fan’s uncharacteristically earnest words, Qin Chu and his wife were momentarily stunned.

Just looking at the deep confidence and resolve in Qin Fan’s eyes, the words on the tips of their tongues simply wouldn’t come out.

No matter how dissatisfied or disappointed they were with Qin Fan’s actions, this was an attitude they had never seen from him before. Even the confidence and resolve in his eyes were entirely new.

For more than a decade, they had never sensed such a demeanor from Qin Fan.

After a moment of stunned silence, Wei Shuying shook her head with a bitter smile and sighed. "I hope that when the scores come out, you can give your father and me a proper explanation! If they’re the same mediocre results as always, then we’d rather you were the same old Xiao Fan, living in your own little world."

Was there anything wrong with what Wei Shuying said? No.

A person can be proud and arrogant, but they must have the substance to back it up. It’s just like showing off. If you have the skill, it’s called being impressive. If you don’t, you’re just a fool. No parent wants their child to become the textbook example of a fool that everyone mocks, especially not Qin Chu and Wei Shuying.

Hearing Wei Shuying mention his scores, Qin Fan was dumbfounded.

I filled in all the multiple-choice questions with the wrong answers. How could I possibly get a high score?

Thinking of this, his expression twisted uncomfortably as he said, "Mom and Dad, you’re both pretty open-minded. Why are you still so obsessed with grades? Do scores really define a person these days?"

"Exam scores don’t define a person, but you’re different! You finished four exams in the time it takes to do one! If you don’t get a score to match that arrogance, how will you face everyone’s judgment and ridicule?" Wei Shuying said bluntly, not mincing her words.

"Other people’s judgment? Their ridicule? We live our own lives. Do we really need to care so much about that?" Qin Fan swallowed, unable to stop himself from voicing his thoughts.

"If we hadn’t been kicked out by the Qin family, if our family of three hadn’t become the laughingstock of Jiangzhou’s high society, then no, we wouldn’t need to! But people fight for their dignity, just as Buddhas receive incense! The Qin family is out there, and I don’t want my son—the son of Wei Shuying and Qin Chu—to be a joke in the mouths of others. Even more, I don’t want to see the cold, sneering faces of the Qin family! Xiao Fan, do you understand? Mom just wants you to have the means to stand tall and proud before them!"

In the past, Wei Shuying would never have said these things to Qin Fan. But now, seeing his confidence and resolve, on some inexplicable impulse, she finally voiced the words she had suppressed for so long. Her intuition told her that the current Qin Fan wouldn’t be crushed by them.

"The Qin family, huh?"

After saying these words, Qin Fan licked his lips. A chilling intensity that shocked Wei Shuying and Qin Chu flashed across his face as he continued, "They will regret this soon. Some of them will even kneel right here,"—he pointed at the ground—"and out there, to offer their repentance!"

His demeanor was incredibly bold and arrogant, making Qin Chu and his wife uneasy.

"Xiao Fan, what are you planning to do?" Qin Chu asked instinctively.

"Don’t worry, Dad. I know what you’re thinking, but I wouldn’t do anything that would jeopardize myself. Just watch. You will be proud of the name ’Qin Fan.’ Believe me, that day isn’t far off," Qin Fan said in a calm and leisurely tone.

With that, while his parents were still stunned, he quickly changed the subject. "By the way, Mom and Dad, how is the company progressing?"

Sensing that Qin Fan didn’t want to continue that topic, Qin Chu and his wife, their hearts filled with endless worries and doubts, shared a bitter smile and didn’t press the issue.

Wei Shuying adjusted her posture, glanced at Qin Fan, and said teasingly, "Although you don’t need to worry about the company, seeing as you’re a one-billion-yuan major shareholder, it seems only right to fill you in!"

"Alright! For the simple fact that I’m a one-billion-yuan shareholder, you two definitely have to tell me, haha!"

As a monster who had lived for several hundred years, Qin Fan was certainly skilled at shifting the atmosphere.

Amidst his carefree laughter, Qin Chu and Wei Shuying exchanged a knowing look and chuckled, shaking their heads. Who would have guessed, seeing the warm atmosphere among the family of three, that they had been at odds just a moment ago?

"Let your dad tell you," Wei Shuying said with a smile, shaking her head.

"The company is progressing well. We’ve already secured a few plots of land and have cleared the way with the construction and land bureaus. As for the building, Dianbai Second Construction has taken on the project, so you could say everything is ready to go. But it’s strange. The whole process was so fast that your mom and I find it unbelievable. If we were still under the halo of the Qin family, this might be normal, but we’re outcasts now. Not only did we not face any obstacles from those departments, but everything went incredibly smoothly. It’s just bizarre. Your mom and I can’t figure it out at all," Qin Chu said, his brow furrowed in thought.

Smooth and unobstructed? Unbelievable!

But then, Qin Fan immediately thought of Ye Jizu.

Looks like Grandpa Ye’s EQ is quite high, playing the part of a silent benefactor!

Hearing this, Qin Fan was almost certain that Ye Jizu was pulling strings behind the scenes. He couldn’t say that, however, so he remarked with a slight, sarcastic smile, "Perhaps the Qin family had a change of heart? After all, giving us a hand is as easy as saying the word for them."
