Chapter 167 Verbal Battle (I) (1/2)

Ye Qian was not foolish enough to think that Qin Tian came here today to strike up a relations.h.i.+p with him or that Qin Tian truly admired him. Ye Qian knew that a guy like Qin Tian who led a group as enormous as the Hongmen would not decide casually on such things based on spirit. Even though Ye Qian did not know what Qin Tian really wanted, he believed it was definitely not because of his vague relations.h.i.+p with Qin Yue.

“Xiaozi is honored!” Ye Qian said.

Qin Tian smiled and turned to look at Qin Yue, Zhao Ya and Hu Ke and said, “You aren’t going to reset yet?” It was evident that he was making them leave so he could talk to Ye Qian. Hu Ke and Zhao Ye very naturally stood and said, “Uncle Qin, we’ll go ahead then.”

“Okay!” Qin Tian nodded faintly. He looked at Qin Yue hesitantly then said, “Well? You’re afraid I’ll bully this xiaozi? Don’t worry. We’re only going to have a chat.”

Qin Yue looked at Ye Qian then turned to go upstairs. Qin Yue’s expression before leaving made Ye Qian feel confused. It was as if she was telling Ye Qian to be a bit more humble and unpretentious, like a modest son-in-law.

After seeing Qin Yue leave, Qin Tian turned and laughed, then he sighed, “A woman is born to leave her family, in the end she is somebody else’s.” As he said this he gave Ye Qian a vague look.

Ye Qian stared blankly and made an awkward laugh. This Qin Tian was hard to read. In the beginning he acted very domineering, as if he wanted to use his strength to pressure Ye Qian; But now he became so peaceful, like a pleasant old man.

It was evident that Qin Tian did not mean for Ye Qian to reply to his remark, so Ye Qian only smiled faintly and remained silent.

Qin Tian pulled out a cigar from his pocket and pa.s.sed it to Ye Qian and asked, “Do you smoke?”

Ye Qian accepted it offhandedly and said, “I usually only smoke cigarettes, very rarely do I use cigars. But I’ll try it.” Ye Qian said as he clamped the cigar on his mouth.

“It’s good for young people to try new things.” Qin Tian said as he lighted his cigar. He placed the lighter on the table, apparently not intending to light Ye Qian’s cigar for him, nor handing Ye Qian the lighter. “But there are many things that must be weighed for pros and cons so as not to suffer losses.”

Of course Ye Qian did not expect Qin Tian to light his cigar for him, after all he was the leader of the Hongmen, his position and prestige was very high. Right now Ye Qian believed he did not deserve to have his cigar lighted by Qin Tian. Ye Qian picked up the lighter on the table, looking at it he said, “Givenchy, made in the mid-20th century. A brand that really embodies a person’s character and temperament. It really suits Uncle Qin.” Ye Qian said this as he lighted the cigar in his mouth.

Ye Qian set the lighter back on the table and inhaled slowly then said, “The biggest advantage of young people is their youth, so they don’t have to worry about failure, they should dare to try all things. If they kept weighing pros and cons of things, then the young people would lose their drive and hot-bloodedness.”

Qing Tian slowly leaned back on the sofa and said, “If the light was full of hot-bloodedness and attempted things that are not supposed to be attempted, that is rude and impetuous.

Ye Qian smiled lightly and asked, “What was Uncle Qin’s greatest dream when you were young? Or what did young Uncle Qin want to do when he grew up?”

Qin Tian stared blankly, naturally he understood Ye Qian’s meaning. He flicked the ash on his hand and said, “Everybody has different dreams at different times. Maybe when young person would wish for new clothes to wear in the new year, when they grow up they’ll wish to pa.s.s the exam and get into a good university, and then to find a good job after that. But not everybody can achieve these dreams. Achieving the dream that has the most benefits for one’s future is enough.”
