Chapter 13: Shocking! An Eighty-Year-Old Granny Dares to Lecture a Novel CEO!

After sorting through the plot, Lin Qingqing looked at the tall, long-legged, and noble-looking man in front of her, who was currently bowing respectfully toward her. She was so angry she didn’t even know what to say!

Fighting with his own younger brother over a woman, only to be killed by that same brother in the end—how stupid could he be?

With all that money and such good looks, couldn’t he date anyone he wanted? Why did he have to throw his life away for a woman who didn’t even belong to him?

But she couldn’t completely blame this eldest grandson of hers. The real fault lay with the author, who created such an absurd plot and turned her perfectly good grandson into such a fool!

Going so far as to rig contests for the sake of the female lead—even with wealth, status, and power, that’s not how you should use it!

That’s just bullying innocent, ordinary people for your own benefit!

Absolutely outrageous!!

The more Lin Qingqing thought about it, the angrier she got. She glared fiercely at the man in front of her and scolded harshly, “So it was you, you little brat, pulling strings behind the scenes! Is our Qin family’s wealth and prestige just there for you to stir up such filth?

Do you know how unfair your actions are to the other contestants? Those kids worked so hard just to get a chance to compete! What about those talented, hardworking children? Using such dirty tricks—it’s a total disgrace to our Qin family!”

The organizers might feel the need to suck up to this guy, but she didn’t.

She was the head of the household. There was nothing wrong with teaching her unruly grandson a lesson!

Qin Yansen’s parents were usually too busy with work to meddle in anything unless it was a major life event. He never volunteered information either. As the eldest grandson of the richest family in China and future heir to the Qin empire, no one dared to criticize or lecture him.

Being suddenly scolded by his grandmother like this, Qin Yansen immediately felt a bit ashamed. He lowered his head and promised sincerely, “Grandma, please don’t be angry. I promise I won’t make this kind of mistake again.”

As he spoke, Qin Yansen bent down and gently rubbed her back, helping her calm down, terrified she might fall ill from the rage.

Still fuming, Lin Qingqing continued to question him, “And what about my championship? Was it you who made the organizers accuse me of cheating?”

She had thought some outsider was behind it, and was even ready to flaunt her identity as the richest woman for some face. But it turned out it was her very own grandson who framed her!

These grandsons of hers were all just so filial—thankfully, she could turn back time and rejuvenate. Otherwise, with her old and frail body, she might’ve been “filial-ed to death” by these villainous grandsons one day.

Qin Yansen quickly explained, “I didn’t say you cheated, but this matter is still connected to me… Grandma, don’t worry. I’ll immediately have them clear your name and restore the rightful results of the competition.”

As for Mu Yiyi… he’d find a way to make it up to her later from another angle.

Mu Yiyi was so gentle, generous, and understanding—she would surely appreciate his filial intentions.

Zhang Dafu, seeing how President Qin treated the old lady like she was royalty, was instantly horrified! Just now, he not only bullied the granny but even implied she was senile… What to do now? Was there still a way to save himself?

His eyes darted around before he quickly spoke up, “Uhm… I’ll take care of it right away! President Qin, I’ll have someone correct the competition results immediately and clear… Grandma’s name! Sigh! It’s all the fault of my unreliable staff. I promise I’ll properly discipline them and make sure no unfair competitions ever happen again!”

Before Lin Qingqing could say anything, Zhang Dafu had already honestly confessed and admitted fault.

This was the richest woman in China—who would dare offend her?

Even if you gave Zhang Dafu eighty guts, he still wouldn’t dare provoke her again. A single word from her could ruin his business!

Five minutes later, the updated results came in:

“After thorough investigation by the leadership, we have concluded that Granny Lin of Team XYH did not use any cheats. The false judgment was due to staff error.

We, the event organizers and all staff members, sincerely apologize to the nimble, extraordinarily intelligent, kind, beautiful, gentle, generous, and adorable Granny Lin. We’re truly sorry!

Lastly, we hereby re-announce the competition results: the winner of this contest is Team XYH!”

Granny Lin, who was described as nimble, extraordinarily intelligent, kind, beautiful, gentle, generous, and adorable, commented: there’s no need for such flattery.

Even if it was true.

She preferred to keep a low profile.

After all, she was just a completely ordinary, seemingly unremarkable head of a wealthy family, blessed with many children and grandchildren, who happened to be able to turn back time and predict the plot of life.

Zhang Dafu stepped forward, bent over, and smiled ingratiatingly, “Grandma, are you satisfied with the result this time?”

At the end of the day, this whole mess was caused by her eldest grandson. Lin Qingqing wasn’t unreasonable, but she still needed to say this:

“Next time, remember to respect your elders. Don’t think that just because you have money, you can bully the weak as you please.”

Zhang Dafu quickly nodded and bowed, riding the wave down: “Yes, Grandma! I promise—I will absolutely respect the elderly and never bully people again!”

Lin Qingqing then turned her gaze to her eldest grandson, Qin Yansen. Her aged eyes were stern. “And you—if I ever catch you doing something like this again, I’ll deal with you using the family rules.”

After saying that, Lin Qingqing thought to herself—she must look incredibly cool right now.

Who would’ve thought? After being poor for 21 years, she not only became the head of the wealthiest family but even got to say such lines and lecture a CEO from a novel.

It was something she didn’t even dare to dream of!

“Got it, Grandma,” Qin Yansen obediently replied. But looking at her trendy outfit and the over-the-shoulder dragon tattoo, he couldn’t help but ask,

“Grandma, who led you astray? Was it the Chen family again? Did they trick you into investing in a bunch of useless, trashy projects, and now they’re dragging you into the tattoo business too?

I already told my dad to keep you away from the Chen family and not to get too close with them, but he never takes it seriously. That trip to the bar the other day—wasn’t that also them dragging you along? And this game today, wasn’t it their idea too?”

The Chen family?

Lin Qingqing racked her brain before finally remembering—the old lady from the Chen family was the original body’s fake bestie.

Out of jealousy over her position as the richest woman, she constantly tricked her into investing in high-cost, low-return projects.

For example, dying industries clearly heading toward obsolescence, or bizarre concepts like disposable husbands, shared toilet paper, shared children… just plain weird.

Not only were these projects bizarre—they sounded borderline illegal!

Like that disposable husband thing… wasn’t that basically solicitation?

Had the original version of her actually invested in that? She had no idea!

Lin Qingqing stood up, looked at Qin Yansen, and said, “She hasn’t tricked me these past two days. All of this was my idea. I was just bored and playing around. Don’t lecture me. You go back to work right now.”

And stay away from the original female lead!

Qin Yansen: “You go back first, Grandma. I still have things to do. I’ll have the driver take you.”
