Chapter 27: The Eighty-Year-Old Lady Gets Eliminated Miserably!

Lu Zeyan almost outright said it—going back to Qin Corporation would only result in being bullied by the Qin family. Staying here would be better than working there.

Lin Qingqing chuckled softly, but Qin Jingshu spoke up before she could, “Qin Corporation is his own family’s company—why would he feel uncomfortable staying there? No matter what difficulties he encounters at Qin Corporation, our whole family will be his support.”

She had finally managed to convince Qin Jingshu to leave Lu Zeyan, that conniving troublemaker, and return to work at the Qin family business. Now Lu Zeyan suddenly showed up to stir the pot and obstruct her grandson’s return to the Qin family—how vile!

She absolutely couldn’t let Lu Zeyan ruin her plan!

Lu Zeyan sneered and defended Qin Jingshu, “The whole family is his support? Aren’t the ones making things difficult for him your entire family? You kicked him out of the Qin family, and now you want him back. What do you think he is? Some stray cat or dog you can call and dismiss as you please?”

Lin Qingqing was so angry she wanted to punch Lu Zeyan. Wasn’t he the one who caused all the trouble for Qin Jingshu? What a professional blame-shifter!

But she didn’t have any evidence right now, and Qin Jingshu wouldn’t believe her anyway.

So Lin Qingqing calmly and composedly said, “Even close family members can have conflicts—that’s normal. But misunderstandings will always be resolved eventually. Besides, this is our family’s private matter. We don’t need an outsider like you to meddle. He’s my grandson—I’ll naturally love him more than any outsider ever could. I won’t let anyone with ill intentions ruin his life!”

Every word she spoke was firm and powerful. Qin Jingshu, who had been swayed by Lu Zeyan’s words just moments ago, suddenly felt a sense of calm settle in his heart at her words.

No one in the Qin family had ever said anything like that to him before. His eldest and second brothers always excluded him, sent people to bully him. His parents argued constantly when they saw each other, only caring about venting their emotions and never showing concern for him.

He always felt like the Qin family had no place for him.

But maybe… his grandmother didn’t feel that way.

Qin Jingshu lowered his eyes to the still-steaming bowl of chicken soup. A flicker of emotion flashed through them.

Maybe… he should choose to believe his grandmother just this once?

Lu Zeyan laughed mockingly, “I may be an outsider, but I’m also Jingshu’s only true friend. I definitely won’t let him go back just to get bullied—”

Before he could finish, Qin Jingshu cut him off, “Zeyan, don’t say any more. I’ve already made up my mind. Don’t worry about this anymore.”

Lu Zeyan immediately frowned, his face full of worry. “Are you sure you don’t want to think about it more carefully?”

If Qin Jingshu really went back, it would be much harder to manipulate him using his older brothers’ names and continue sowing discord between them.

“I’ve thought it through.”

Even if only for his grandmother’s sake—for the sake of fulfilling her final wishes—he should agree.

Seeing that he couldn’t stop him, Lu Zeyan had no choice but to give up for now. He’d try to talk to Qin Jingshu privately later.

After Lu Zeyan left, Lin Qingqing looked at her little grandson with satisfaction. The more she looked, the more pleased she felt.

How could he be a big villain? What a sweet and well-behaved grandson!

Sweet-talking, and handsome too.

This early taste of enjoying family happiness… wasn’t bad at all.

After making sure Qin Jingshu finished the soup, Lin Qingqing stood up with her insulated container and smiled gently at him. “Then I’ll be waiting for you at home. Move back soon, or Grandma will miss you and won’t be able to sleep. As for the company, I’ve had your eldest brother make all the arrangements. You just focus on working well. If anyone dares bully you, I’ll fire them on the spot!”

Qin Jingshu smiled lightly. “Got it, Grandma.”

After leaving the company, Lin Qingqing went straight to the street dance advancement competition.

Originally, she hadn’t planned to go. But after thinking about it more, she realized that the Qin family believed her audition video was edited—she couldn’t stand that.

They could question her character, but not her skills!

Besides, with her current physical condition, she could definitely perform even better than last time!

If they thought the audition was fake, surely no one would think the championship was fake!

At the advancement competition venue—

She had just stepped onto the stage when a judge, dressed in a sharp suit, looked at her and said, “You’ve been eliminated.”

“???”

What did that mean? She hadn’t even started performing yet!
