Chapter 1413 Disappointed 2

When Qi Qiming heard Qi Lei’s sarcastic tone, his face darkened. He did not reply. Instead, he took a deep breath before taking two steps forward to stand right in front of the kitchen sink. He glanced at the unwashed vegetables and started rolling up his sleeves.Before he could help, Qi Lei went on and said, “Get out. We don’t need you here. Don’t be pretentious, or I’ll think that you’re actually feeling guilty about what happened to me and my mother though someone like you certainly wouldn’t feel that way. If you’re trying to get something from me because of Qi Feng again, then you should just leave. I have nothing more to give to him. Well, unless he still wants my life, then he should come and take it.”

“Qi Lei!” Qi Qiming called out before he could go on, “I’m not here for anything. I just want to come and see you for a few days, and it’s not for Qi Feng. I know about the grudge between you and him, but no matter what, both of you are brothers after all. I believe that you won’t put him in a tight spot, and I also hope that he won’t do anything to you.”

“Really? Do you hope so? If all your hopes could be fulfilled, would I have ended up like this? You should go back and tell Qi Feng about all the things you just said instead of telling them to me. Growing up, have I given him any less? In your eyes, Qi Feng is your only son. Even if you had a bad relationship with my mother, I can’t let you do whatever you please, and I don’t care if you hate me. I just don’t understand why I can’t just have a few days of serenity and away from all these matters!”

“You’re the second master of the Qi family, and with that being said, you can’t live a life without any struggles. Xiao Lei, no matter what, I still hope you can return to the Qi family and Qi Kai. Even if it was your eldest brother that took over Qi Kai, the company still needs you. The worst thing that can happen to a family is not having unity and harmony. I thought you were stubborn and ignorant, so I let your elder brother take over instead. You should know how much the Qi family has devoted to the Qi Kai Group. It represents the hard work of many generations!”

When Qi Qiming spoke about this, he felt helpless but did not know how else to explain it.

“After the matters about the Qi family’s property were resolved, it hasn’t been easy to get to where we are today. The reason your mother wanted to merge the Wang Corporation with Qi Kai in the first place was for Qi Kai to expand so that everybody else could live a better life. This was also your mother’s promise to your grandfather. Otherwise, do you think she would have been this foolish?”

Qi Qiming took a deep breath while thinking about the past. His eyes started turning red. “None of us are willing to tolerate it just like you and Qi Feng now. I understand this very well, so when you said that you’d like to set up a new company by yourself, I contemplated over and over again before I agreed.”

“Since you already knew about it, why did you still treat her like that? Aren’t you just trying to take everything out of her hands and fulfill whatever Qi Feng wants?”

Since everything was out in the open, Qi Lei did not bother covering up the truth. He stopped in his tracks and his gaze became sharp.

“You may not know everything between me and your mother, but she never believed in me. She always thought that I was plotting against her. She was very paranoid. Even when I did nothing, she wouldn’t believe me. So, I might as well do something and let her have something to worry about!” When Qi Qiming said this, his tone was a little agitated.

To Qi Lei, what he really saw was Qi Qiming was getting agitated because of Wang Qin!

“Paranoid? Hmph, didn’t you also have suspicions about her? When did you ever believe her?” Qi Lei sneered.

“Believe? Well, I did want to believe her, and the thought of growing old with her had crossed my mind, but she never took me to heart. She was in love with somebody else when she married me. She even despised my touch, so what could I do? What else could I do? I was nothing to her! All she ever thought about was her hatred towards me and plotting against others. You know your mother better than I do!”

As Qi Qiming went on, he was reminded about some memories that were buried deep in his heart, and he had no way to suppress all the turbulent emotions!

For someone full of pride like him, were there any women he could not get?

None of his young, beautiful, charming, innocent, and kind mistresses would be inferior to Wang Qin. However, Wang Qin was the only one who refused him and even hated him.

In the first few years of their marriage, he really wanted this proud and cold-hearted woman to give in to him. However, after decades of disagreements, he still did not get what he wanted. In the end, it was just two people hating each other.

“Okay, Qi Lei, I don’t want to talk about this now. You know that I’d never agree to it if you don’t want to be my son anymore. I can respect the decisions you’re making now, and you can still continue to work on your own matters, but as a member of the Qi family, this is where you belong and that’s the bottom line. I might as well let you know that the shareholders’ meeting of Qi Kai Group next year may not necessarily be in favor of Qi Feng. I intend to postpone the shareholders’ meeting, but the date is yet to be determined.”

Qi Qiming’s face suddenly became serious while his dark eyes flashed with a stern gaze.

Qi Lei listened and paused. After a while, he smiled calmly. “That’s your business. It has nothing to do with me. I have nothing vested in Qi Kai anyway.”

Qi Qiming froze for a moment and took a deep while looking at Qi Lei. He then said, “Xiao Lei, I can be patient, but if you keep acting like this, then we’ll just go on without any resolution.”

Without waiting for Qi Lei to reply, he turned around and left the kitchen.

Bang!

Qi Lei slammed the kitchen knife on the chopping board bitterly as the sound of footsteps softened, but he appeared to be very calm.

After a while, he went about what he was doing earlier.

He thought that after the unpleasant conversation just now, Qi Qiming had probably slammed the door and left. To his surprise, he saw Qi Qiming sitting on the sofa in the living room and watching TV when he brought the dishes out.

Secretary Wang Chun and Yang Sheng were cautiously at his service. When Qi Lei brought the dishes out, Wang Chun quickly went to set the table.

The atmosphere of the dinner was awkward as the father and son did not speak. Wang Chun and Yang Sheng were also very wary and did not dare to say anything. After dinner, they did not utter a word until much later when Qi Qiming answered a phone call and left solemnly.

Worried, Yang Sheng sent Qi Qiming off.
