Twenty years have passed, and he had long been filled with regret, which drove him to try every means to find Qin Tiannan's whereabouts, but he always came up empty until he received that photograph, which finally eased him somewhat.
The arrival of Qin Fang, this grandson-in-law, was quite unexpected for the Qu Family, as they were unaware of Qin Qing's pregnancy back then. Otherwise, they might have felt even more guilty.
However, during these days of interaction, Qin Fang's excellence has indeed impressed the Qu Family people, to the point of being described as pleasantly surprising.
Despite his humble beginnings and not having lived well these past twenty years, his sudden appearance was eye-catching and continually impressive, leaving the Qu Family members somewhat numb at this point.
From the first meeting, he performed a miraculous acupuncture secret technique that pulled an elderly woman who was nearly at The Gates of Hell back and extended her life for another six months.
Later it was heard that he inherited the Qin Family's martial arts, possessing a skill level almost equal to his father's back in the day, perhaps even stronger in several aspects...
Now, even the congratulatory gift he presented was so grand it directly stunned the leaders of the Top Ten Wealthy Families of Hong Kong, making them vie for his attention... This is undoubtedly a rarely seen prodigious youth!
Unfortunately, everyone else missed their chance because Qin Fang is his grandson!
"Looks like this relationship will have to be slowly restored, it's a long road ahead..."
Anyone with such a grandson would be immensely delighted, possibly even laughing in their sleep, but thinking of that rift, Elder Master Qu couldn't help but have a headache.
Repairing this rift isn't easy, but letting go of such an outstanding grandson would be a foolish thing to do.
"Hmph... Yuanliang, that boy is getting more and more out of line!"
However, when he thought of this, the old man immediately recalled Qu Yuanliang, who had just been at odds with Qin Fang, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Elder Master Qu never mentioned why he opposed the union of Qin Tiannan and Qin Qing back then. It was because Qin Tiannan was a martial artist, and he was worried Qin Tiannan would one day recklessly get killed, thus trying to break them up... but it caused a tragedy for the Qu Family over the past twenty years.
But now Qin Fang is also engaged in martial arts, and not long ago he even fought against some Japanese experts and utterly defeated them. Yet Elder Master Qu not only didn't think Qin Fang was recklessly violent, but instead felt that young men should indeed be so bold and vigorous...
If Qin Fang's father, Qin Tiannan, knew the old man's contrary thoughts after twenty years, he would probably want to punch this stubborn old fellow's head!
...
"Achoo..."
Almost as Elder Master Qu was muttering about Qu Yuanliang, this boy was holding a wine glass and talking and laughing with another high-society young lady when he suddenly sneezed.
This sneak sneeze caught Qu Yuanliang completely off guard; he abruptly couldn't help it, and since he had a glass of red wine in his mouth, the sneeze sprayed the noble lady sitting opposite with wine all over her face and body...
Especially as the crimson liquid slowly streamed down from the woman's exposed bust onto her white skin and into the deep cleavage, the scene had an indescribable... sleaziness!
Seeing such a sight, Qu Yuanliang suddenly became excited and... hardened!
As a result, his expression became extremely sleazy!
Slap~~
"You bastard..."
The noble young lady wasn't one to be trifled with; though not shy by nature, being humiliated by such a sleazy man made her incredibly furious.
Especially seeing Qu Yuanliang's demeanor, not only lacking a hint of apology, but he was even lecherously eyeing her private parts, her anger immediately exploded, and she slapped him while angrily scolding.
This slap was truly crisp and resounding, even the soothing music in the banquet hall couldn't mask it, and almost everyone looked over in unison.
They saw Qu Yuanliang dumbfoundedly holding his cheek, clearly shocked by this woman's fierceness.
This young miss really didn't hold back; one slap directly caused Qu Yuanliang's cheek to swell, half his face was swollen, visible even with his hand covering it.
"It's nothing to do with us; ignore him..."
Qin Fang and his group naturally saw this. However, Qu Yuancheng glanced at his brother with some disappointment, unwilling to get involved, so he acted as if he hadn't seen anything and continued talking with Qin Fang, Kong Er, and others.
"Tell me Qin Fang, when did you get such good stuff, why didn't you give us a heads-up earlier... We didn't even get to taste the spiritual water, just seeing it would have been nice..."
Kong Er had already heard Qu Yuancheng recount what had happened in the top floor banquet hall, making him envious, wishing he had gone up to see for himself.
Thinking about this, he looked at Qin Fang with a face full of resentment, his expression seemingly saying Qin Fang wasn't being fair...
"I happened to get that by chance; previously, I was worried about what to gift for the occasion!"
Qin Fang chuckled; indeed he hadn't been quite upfront about it, but it was for the surprise at the birthday banquet, so he didn't think he was entirely wrong.
Kong Er's regret was because she couldn't witness that rare treasure bead.
"If you truly want to try it, once the birthday banquet is over, come see me, and I'll get you a cup to taste... The spiritual water has good effects, your body... indeed needs some replenishment!"
Qin Fang briefly glanced at Kong Er's physique and with a rather mysterious smile said, especially the last sentence, which was quite suggestive.
"Uh..."
Kong Er paused, clearly understanding the underlying meaning of Qin Fang's words, showing a bit of shame and frustration, and expressed dissatisfaction.
"Don't spout nonsense, my body is strong, nothing needs replenishing..."
Men are sensitive about this, especially fearing others saying they're weak or incapable, Kong Er included, always fancying himself as a vigorous man.
Though he sometimes felt unable to muster strength, he usually attributed it to age, thinking such occurrences were a normal physiological reaction, but now it seems he indeed needed some toning.
"If that's the case, then forget it, as if I said nothing..."
Qin Fang smiled lightly, appearing indifferent.
"Uh... well, I think it wouldn't hurt to replenish some, I'll come find you later!"
Kong Er's face turned bitter, reluctantly declaring, his hesitant demeanor clearly showing Qin Fang had hit a sore spot.
"Hahaha..."
Seeing Kong Er's flip in stance, Qu Yuancheng and the others burst into laughter, creating quite an embarrassing moment for Kong Er.
"You guys shouldn't laugh, you're not much better than him, none of you can escape..."
One sentence from Qin Fang instantly brought everyone down with a stick, making them all shed tears like Kong Er.
Raised in aristocratic families, starting to indulge early, even though they were somewhat mindful, they were still depleted by wine and women, though better than Qu Yuanliang, they were also quite lacking.
Currently, their condition isn't too severe, but as they age, they'll undeniably feel those limitations...
Being blasted by Qin Fang's words left the group of men looking disheartened, unable to refute him since they are aware of their physical condition. While it may not be overly severe, those occasional feelings can be quite intense.
Moreover, going to Qin Fang for spiritual water is indeed beneficial, and they're not fools; pushing away good things would be truly foolish...(To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast recommendation and monthly votes, your support is my greatest motivation.)
