"If today's incident were to fall into the hands of the Qi family..."

Mu Yuan sighed, "But it may be okay. The Qi family has several saints with good hearts. It's not your fault, so they won't be implicated. But--"

He changed the subject and looked at Shen Rao with a sharp look.

"If you cover up, the nature of the matter will be different."

A saint can also become a ruthless sword of judgment.

"I understand what you mean," Shen Rao nodded in agreement, "I'll take care of it."

"Shen family boy, you chose the shackles yourself, wear them tightly."

Mu Yuan stroked his stubble and said, "Be an honest man, manage your subordinates well, and avoid causing trouble for Qi Yan, understand?"

"I understand." Shen Rao lowered his eyebrows, "Thank you for your guidance, godfather."

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly depressing, Mu Yuan raised his eyebrows and spoke in a soothing tone.

"I don't have to teach you anything. Since you call me godfather, I'll give you some advice."

He looked at Shen Rao's silent look and smiled: "Don't be too nervous, I just said it casually. The Qi family is not as scary as you think. There are good people in it. Don't worry."

"Of course, provided you are a good person."

For good people who go in, it is a safe cage; for bad people, it is a den of wolves where corpses are torn into pieces.

Shen Rao felt that he was not feeling well and he was uneasy.

This was a rare opportunity, so he decided to find out a few more questions.

"Can Godfather tell me more? I can take notes."

I don’t know if it was the word ‘son-in-law’ that pleased Mu Yuan, Qi Rang, the Zhongdeng, didn’t even get this treatment!

He was in a good mood and said, "I can't tell you the specific situation of the Qi family. I don't know much, but I can tell you briefly about the structure."

"You tell me."

Shen Rao actually took out his cell phone and scrolled down to his memo, looking eager to learn.

"Just use your brain to remember it." Mu Yuan said.

Shen Rao turned off the screen.

"The Qi family is roughly divided into two parts, you probably know that."

Mu Yuan pointed his finger and said, "The main family of the Qi family, all of whom have the surname Qi, have the dominant say. The other is the Elders Council, which is composed of eight people representing the eight families. The two supervise and check each other."

"As long as Qi Yan's father recognizes you, you don't have to worry. They are the easiest to talk to and have the best character. The Elders' Council is different..."

As if some bad memories were brought back, Mu Yuan's face turned pale: "They are sick."

Shen Rao, who was still listening attentively, said: "Ah?"

The words that have been suppressed in my heart for many years are now spilled out without any care, just like pouring out beans.

"I used to have a good relationship with Qi Yan's mother, so they wanted to prevent me from having any bad intentions..."

"Did they threaten you?"

“They came to the door with a warning.”

"……that's all?"

"That's it," Mu Yuan's scalp tingled, "You don't understand. It's really weird to see these big shots coming to your door and pointing their fingers at you to warn you."

“……”Shen Rao really didn’t understand.

"They still eat at a roadside stall outside your house and squat on you."

"..."

That's really weird.

"Are they so idle?" Shen Rao wondered.

"While dealing with an important decision, I am warning you not to covet the partner of their master."

"..."

They clearly have the ability to use their power to pressure people, but they use the most stressful methods.

Mu Yuan took a breath and said.

"Boy, trust me, stay away from those guys. There are eight people in the Elders' Council, eight families, all with the surname Qi... In the words of you young people, they are... Poison Wealth!"

"Qi Yan's mother was recognized from the beginning. People of their generation didn't have child marriages, so there wasn't much resistance to being together. But you are different. As far as I know, few of those eight people like you. You must not confront them head-on."

"What will happen if we force it?" Shen Rao asked.

"I don't know." Mu Yuan said, "Because no one dares to try."

"But they are not bad people. Bad people can't sit in that position."

"No one has any other intentions?"

Shen Rao didn't believe that such a huge family was unwatchable. There were many disputes in the wealthy Shen family.

Mu Yuan looked at him with an unclear tone: "What kind of job is it for you to be the head of the Qi family?"

"what?"

"You have to have the life to think about it, and you have to have the life to sit on it. Why do you think the Qi family still exists?"

"Everyone is eyeing that seat, but no one dares to sit there except for the Qi family. If the Qi family is engraved with the surname Qi, then if all the Qi family members die out, the Qi family will also be disbanded."

"Besides, that position is tiring. If the Qi family weren't strong, they would have been extinct long ago," Mu Yuan waved his hand. "Look at how few people there are in the Qi family now. Qi Yan is the only one in her generation. If she dies, it's all over."

"Everyone is looking forward to her but also worried about her. They are afraid that the Qi family will be cut off here, but they also want to see how well she can do."

"You can imagine how much pressure she has on her. For the rest of her life..."

Before he knew it, Mu Yuan had said a lot.

He seemed to want to tell Shen Rao about the situation that Qi Yan had never mentioned before.

"But she is too good and has never disappointed anyone, which has fueled everyone's expectations. Because the 'expectations' are too high, any mistake she makes will be magnified, just like your existence."

He pointed at Shen Rao with his cigarette butt, "You are the only 'mistake' of the 'perfect' Qi Yan."

"They can't accept that if something goes wrong in the marriage that will continue Qi Yan's next generation of heirs and their psychological expectations are not met, they will judge you and pick out a small mistake, and their prejudice will magnify it."

"..."

Shen Rao pursed his lips.

He didn't feel insulted.

He just felt sorry for that person, and his heart felt like it was filled with sour water and was aching.

"That's why I asked you to stay away from them," Mu Yuan said, "Prejudice is hard to eliminate. You are not living with them. Be a good person and do your job steadily. They can't do anything to you."

Shen Rao could hear Mu Yuan's kind reminder and said sincerely: "Thank you, godfather."

Mu Yuan turned over and looked carefully at his future son-in-law.

"Before you showed up, I always thought Qi Yan would obediently accept all the arrangements made by the family and follow the routine. After all, she has been obedient since she was a child and never complained. I didn't expect that she would cause such a big rebellion."

He went against everyone's most promising marriage and found the most incompatible partner.

Is this the legendary belated rebellious period?

He said: "I should thank you for letting me know that the Qi family can still raise someone who looks like a human being."

Mu Yuan took out a candy from the armrest box and said, "Come on, it's okay to eat a candy if you don't smoke, kid."

Shen Rao looked at his face, which was trying to smile kindly, but it looked too ferocious because of his facial features and scars. He then lowered his eyes to look at the lollipop between his fingers, which tasted like cola.

Very principled, "Qi Yan won't let me eat anything given to me by others."

"Don't be so naughty, kid!" Mu Yuan threw the lollipop over, "Do you know how to be polite? You have refused again and again. If an adult gives it to you, just take it!"

"..." Shen Rao took it neatly, held it in his hand and looked at it, "I can't eat it even if I take it."
