Chapter 197 The Expelled Family
When Qi Canglan returned home, he found that the nobleman from the county government was sitting in the living room of his house.
"Oh, it's Canglan who's back, come here quickly, this is Young Master Jiang from the capital." The old lady, who used to look down on him the most, now came to greet him with a smile.
Qi Canglan sneered in his heart, is this hope again?
"Hello, Young Master Jiang." Qi Canglan and Jiang Yan didn't know each other. After Qi Canglan greeted them, he stood aside. Neither of them had any intention of continuing the conversation.
Madam Qi's face darkened. She and her husband, Old Master Qi, looked at each other, and her warm tone quickly turned cold, "Canglan, haven't you met Young Master Jiang?"
Qi Canglan met the old lady's slightly cold eyes, and the mocking tone in his heart also became mocking, "Replying to the old lady, Young Master Jiang is a child of destiny, how could you have seen someone like me?"
"Okay, go down." In order not to offend the noble, the old lady's face looked extremely ugly, but when she turned to Jiang Yan, her face was kind again.
"Young Master Jiang, all the young masters of the Qi family are here. Is your benefactor here?" Old Master Qi had a glimmer of expectation in his eyes, but he saw Jiang Yan gently shaking his head.
Old Master Qi and Old Madam Qi's hearts sank to the bottom of the lake. Jiang Yan neither found the person nor left a gift and left with his people.
As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the Qi family hall immediately became very low. Qi Canglan was used to this kind of oppression and it was nothing. However, his brothers had extremely bitter expressions, which were uglier than if their parents had died.
Qi Canglan found it funny. To these people, Jiang Yan was like their reborn parents. He was the "biological parents" who could bring their Qi family back to the capital and restore their former glory!
However, although hope was right before their eyes, they could not grasp it.
This causes them more pain than having no hope.
"Qi Canglan, where have you been again? You left grandparents and the nobleman waiting for you alone!"
"That's right, you actually called grandma old lady in front of the nobles, don't you consider grandma as a family member?"
"Qi Canglan, what's that look in your eyes? Why are we scholars not worthy of being your brothers as a businessman?"
"Qi Canglan, you are a devil!" Qi Canglan sneered. Is this his fault again?
Looking at his biological father who called him a wicked creature, and his brother who should have been his closest friend, his eyes were cold without a trace of warmth, "Isn't I a wicked creature? Father, since you didn't acknowledge me as your son, how can I be worthy of being a member of the Qi family?"
Qi Canglan doesn't like studying, he only likes doing business. He has been accustomed to being scolded and slandered since he was a child.
Moreover, no matter how he explained, no one would believe him except his dead aunt, even his own brothers would step on him.
They even felt that if they didn't step hard or fast enough, it would not highlight their status, their status as children of aristocratic family, as if it was he who caused the Qi family to be expelled from the capital and the fact that the Qi family had not produced a single juren in fifty years.
These are his family, blood relatives who are more like enemies than enemies themselves.
"Qi Canglan!" The middle-aged man who looked 30% similar to Qi Canglan slapped Qi Canglan in the face. Qi Canglan did not dodge and took it.
Qi Canglan poked his cheek with his tongue, his gums bleeding and his mouth full of the taste of rust. Qi Canglan spat out a mouthful of blood without hesitation, "Does father want to beat me to death and send me to see mother?"
"You! You evil creature! I should have strangled you to death when you were born!"
"It's not too late now. I just wasted a few taels of your silver, oh, maybe a few hundred coins. After all, steamed buns are not expensive. Father, why don't you calculate how much money I have spent on you in the past fifteen years and I will pay you back. This way, you won't lose out." Qi Canglan grinned, his gums were covered in blood, and it was obvious how hard the slap was.
"Second brother, kick him out. The Qi family doesn't need such an unfilial descendant!"
"Grandfather, Seventh Brother didn't mean it. Seventh Brother, kneel down and beg Grandfather. Grandfather will forgive you!" The eldest son of the Qi family, who was standing in the front, immediately pleaded for Qi Canglan. Qi Canglan's eyes were even more mocking, "Come on, stop pretending. It's disgusting."
