Although Qin Keren wasn't close with her own maid, she still didn't want to see her maid being bullied.
But she was powerless.
"Stop it!" Fortunately, at this moment, Qin Youwei and others parked the car and rushed over.
"Do you know who we are? Dare to treat us like this?" Qin Youwei's face was somber.
Although it was his household's maid that these Dongyin people were bullying.
It was undoubtedly a slap in their faces.
The spiteful Dongyin woman disdainfully glanced at Qin Youwei and said, "Do you know who I am?"
Then she pointed to the fool from Dongyin still sitting on the ground and said, "And do you know who he is?"
Although Qin Youwei had dealings with Dongyin people, he obviously did not recognize these two.
Frowning, he said, "I don't care who you are, I only know if you touch our people and the higher-ups blame us, you won't be able to bear it!"
"Heh! I'm telling you, it doesn't matter if it's a maid from your household, even her, I can do as I please; believe it or not?" The spiteful woman pointed at Qin Keren.
Right after the woman's words, someone who resembled a housekeeper came over.
"Madam, what happened?" The housekeeper asked.
"What happened? Didn't you see? My son has been bullied, now, tell them who I am?" The spiteful Dongyin woman said arrogantly and imperiously with her hands on her hips.
The housekeeper immediately turned and said to Qin Youwei and the others: "You have some nerve. Don't you know she is the Madam, the Young Master? Apologize to the Madam and the Young Master right now."
Madam, Young Master?
Qin Youwei was somewhat dumbfounded.
So was Qin Keren.
They hadn't expected that this fool from Dongyin and this spiteful Dongyin woman had such high status.
The spiteful Dongyin woman walked up to Qin Keren, looked her over a few times, and finally nodded her head, "Not bad looking, figure is also okay, just that the temper is a bit lacking. After some training by me, she could barely be suitable for my son, Bao'er."
"What did you say?" Qin Keren's face instantly turned pale upon hearing this.
The spiteful woman raised her eyebrows and looked at Qin Keren mockingly, saying, "What, don't tell me you didn't know, you came here to marry my son Bao'er, so, is there a problem with him asking you to play with him?"
"Madam, there must be a mistake, my daughter Keren came here to marry the heir." Qin Youwei also widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Not a bit wrong, my son Bao'er is also an heir, a family doesn't have only one heir. What? Did you really think you could marry the first in line? You're too full of yourselves," the spiteful woman mocked shaking her head.
"Mommy, I want my pretty lady!" At this moment, the fool from Dongyin sitting on the ground started whining again.
Qin Keren felt as if she was struck by lightning.
She was to marry a fool?
And such an ugly freak at that?
As it turned out, the family didn't have just one heir. This fool from Dongyin was also one of the heirs.
Just because of his intellectual issues, he wasn't the first heir.
Yet he was still entitled to inherit part of the family fortune.
Even if it was a very small part.
But, he was still an heir.
Qin Youwei had always assumed that Qin Keren was to marry the primary heir.
Who would have known that such a fool was also within this family.
Even if Qin Youwei was power-hungry and treated his daughter as a pawn, he wouldn't marry her off to an old and ugly fool.
At that time, a middle-aged Dongyin man approached.
"Sazhi, what on earth is going on! Why is my daughter Keren, marrying a fool?" Qin Youwei looked at the Dongyin man and asked with a frown.
This Dongyin man had been in contact with the Qin Family.
Some of the Qin Family's export trades had also been conducted through him.
This time, in a big play, the Qin Family decided to export their lumberyard's timber and made the decision to sacrifice Qin Keren.
After all, if they could export the timber to Dongyin, the Qin Family's profits could double.
"Oh? Qin Youwei, what is this talk? Where is my son a fool?" Sazhi said with smiling eyes.
"My son is not a fool! What, thinking he's not worthy of your daughter? Let me tell you, there are plenty of women who want to marry into my family as my daughter-in-law!" The Madam scoffed disdainfully.
"Let's go, Keren, we won't marry!" Qin Youwei grabbed Qin Keren's hand, intent on leaving.
"Qin Youwei, people from Huaxia are known to value commitments. Isn't it a bit late now to go back on your word?" Sazhi's eyes flitted with a cold light.
"Humph, I absolutely cannot let my daughter marry a fool!" With a dark expression, Qin Youwei spoke and attempted to leave.
Several Dongyin people, however, blocked their path.
"Let them go." Sazhi waved his hand to signal no need for obstruction, his tone filled with mockery: "But, henceforth, the Qin Family will no longer be able to export anything to our Dongyin Country."
Qin Youwei, who was in the middle of stepping away, suddenly froze in place.
Although exports to Dongyin Country were not the primary business of the family, they still accounted for more than twenty percent of it.
Once they could no longer export anything to Dongyin Country, the Qin Family's income would instantly shrink by twenty percent!
By then, he, the Family Head, might have to step down.
And stepping down might be the least of his worries.
He could be forced to transfer his shares to compensate for losses.
In other words.
If this matter was screwed up.
Qin Youwei might very well become penniless.
Qin Youwei hesitated.
He was always someone who valued money as his life.
Otherwise, he wouldn't sacrifice his daughter's happiness for the family's growth.
"Dad, you, you can't possibly let me marry him!" Qin Keren was extremely pale.
Qin Youwei looked at Qin Keren.
His heart was unwilling and couldn't bear it.
But if he had to choose between the two...
"Keren, you know how hard it was for Dad to get to where he is today, you can't just watch as dad goes bankrupt..." Qin Youwei bit his teeth and said.
At that moment, Qin Keren finally understood.
Her position in Qin Youwei's heart.
She was Qin Youwei's daughter alright.
Unfortunately, in Qin Youwei's eyes.
Money was most important.
"If I say I won't marry, you won't let him go, right?" Qin Keren asked with the last sliver of hope.
"Keren, Dad is sorry..." Qin Youwei sighed.
"Fine, fine, fine, Qin Youwei, from today onwards, I, Qin Keren, sever all ties with you!" After Qin Keren finished speaking, she walked straight towards the fool from Dongyin.
"That's great, pretty lady will play with me!" The fool from Dongyin clapped his hands happily.
