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.
