novelDo I Know You?

On hearing that his father was going to visit Qin Haodong, Qin Chong said, "I'll go with you. I have to meet this guy to see how dare he compete with me for a girl."
"OK then!"
Qin Chong was one of the best among the younger generation, so Qin Feiyu doted on him and agreed to take him to Qin Haodong's house without a second thought.
"But you have to stay calm. Your grandfather once mentioned that Qin Haodong is now a ninth-level grandmaster and we're no match for him."
Qin Chong, who was now at the fourth level of the Supreme Power Realm, had always been proud of his talents for martial arts. Jealousy welled up in his heart when he heard that Qin Haodong had become a ninth-level grandmaster.
"So what? He must have reached the ninth level purely by chance and I don't think he has a solid foundation. Besides, my grandfather is also a ninth-level grandmaster and there's no need to be afraid of a junior practitioner who has made small progress."
His grandfather, Qin Zhanlong, was the First Elder of the Qin family as well as a ninth-level grandmaster.
Qin Chong, who was spoiled and arrogant, didn't take Qin Haodong seriously even though he knew that Qin was a ninth-level grandmaster. He believed subconsciously that Qin Haodong was no match for his grandfather despite the fact that they were all at the same level. 𝒇𝑟𝑒𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝑛oν𝚎l - 🅽🅽novel
As the leading figure of the second generation of the Qin family and a strong competitor for the next heir, Qin Feiyu had also been proud and he didn't think that his son was wrong about Qin Haodong.
Moreover, he was afraid that Qin Haodong might pose a threat to his position as the heir to the family master when he returned to the Qin family. Therefore, he thought it necessary to warn his nephew to make him abide by the rules. At least, as Qin Haodong's third uncle, he should be respected by this young man.
They came to the Tang Sect but were stopped by the security guard at the gate. It was Zhang Tieniu who was on duty today. He asked, "Sir, this is Tang Sect. How can I help you?"
Qin Chong said arrogantly, "Is Qin Haodong here? Ask him to come out to pick us up."
Qin Chong had always been respected as the young master of the Qin family, so he was irritated by bodyguards stopping him at the door.
Zhang Tieniu frowned and was dissatisfied with the way this young man addressed his Boss.
Without knowing their identities, Zhang Tieniu held back his anger and asked again, "May I know your names before I report it to my Boss?"
Qin Chong said with dissatisfaction, "It's ridiculous. He's just a hick from nowhere. How dare he show off in the capital?"
Qin Feiyu explained, "We're from the Qin family. Just tell Qin Haodong that his third uncle is here and ask him to welcome us."
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
These two guests were quite special, so Zhang Tieniu went to find Qin Haodong himself instead of asking a security guard to do so.
Qin Haodong was chatting with Chu Xuanyue. Zhang Tieniu entered the room and Qin asked, "What's wrong?"
"Boss, there are two men at the door. They said that they were from the Qin family and asked you to go out to welcome them. One of them claimed to be your third uncle."
Qin Haodong sneered at their attitude towards him. All the masters of the five big families had come here to visit him and none of them dared to let him go out to pick them up. The so-called Third Uncle was really an arrogant man.
Just like his attitude towards the Chus, he didn't like the Qins either. They separated his parents just for the sake of the family benefits and his father was missing now.
The Qin family shut their eyes to his predicament and didn't even care whether he was dead or still alive. They chose to be onlookers when the Chu family planned to kill him.
Therefore, he had made up his mind that he would not take himself as a member of the Qin family until his father came back.
He knew why the Qins came here today. He was now a big fish in the capital rather than the useless abandoned baby. Therefore, they wanted him to go back to work for the Qin family.
If they came here and asked for help politely, he might give what they wanted since they were of the same root. But these two f*cking idiots asked him to go out to pick them up. It was too ridiculous!
He was a principled man and would help those relatives who were nice to him, even if they were poor beggars.
But those two people did no favor to him and just wanted to get benefits for being his relatives. He would never let them get what they wanted.
He said to Zhang Tieniu, "Tell them to come in by themselves, or they can just get out of here."
"Yes, Sir."
Zhang Tieniu had always been complaisant to Qin Haodong's orders. He came to the door and said to the arrogant father and his son, "My Boss said that you should come in by yourself or just get out of here."
Qin Feiyu was waiting for Qin Haodong to welcome him and he didn't expect this young man to be so ungrateful and arrogant.
He was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say. He couldn't believe that his nephew, whom he hadn't seen before, was so hot-tempered and didn't show any respect to his uncle.
Qin Chong was also confused now. They were well-known figures in the capital and no one dared to treat them like this before.
"Bastard, how dare he!" Qin Chong shouted with great anger after a while. Then he turned around and said to Qin Feiyu, "Dad, this asshole didn't show any respect to our family and knew nothing about customs or family rules. He's not qualified to be a member of our Qin family. Let's go back."
He still took it as a favor to ask Qin Haodong to return to the Qin family. He thought that Qin should be glad to see them.
Qin Feiyu was more sophisticated and experienced than his son and he gradually took his mind off the rage. He had wanted to intimidate Qin Haodong with the great power of the Qin family, but this young man didn't care about them at all.
Now things were a little awkward. It was the master's order to ask Qin Haodong to go back to the Qin family. If he gave up and went back home without even seeing him, Qin Zhan'ao would definitely get angry with him.
After a few minutes of hesitation, he finally said, "Let's come in!"
Qin Chong protested, "Dad, Qin Haodong has treated us like s**t and why should we come inside to please him? I don't think our family can't survive without him!"
"We're already here and let's meet him first. Besides, don't you want to get the latest news about Wei Yanran?" Qin Feiyu said to Zhang Tieniu, "Lead the way."
Qin Chong gave up at the thought of Wei Yanran and Qin Haodong's marriage. He followed Qin Feiyu into the Tang Sect without saying anything else.
It was Qin Haodong who was responsible for receiving the guests this time, and Chu Xuanyue had gone back to her room. After all, this was the Qin family's business, and it was best to leave it to her son.
Qin Haodong was sitting on the sofa, enjoying the fragrant tea in his cup. He didn't get up to welcome them as Qin Feiyu and Qin Chong walked into the living room.
Qin Feiyu recognized him based on his similar facial features with Qin Zongheng. He said coldly, "Qin Haodong, how dare you show no respect to your elders? Shouldn't you go out to welcome us?"
Qin Haodong continued to enjoy his tea as if he didn't hear anything. He put down the cup after a while, raised his head and asked, "Who are you? Do I know you?"
Qin Chong was suddenly irritated and said with great anger, "Qin Haodong, who do you think you're? We're from the Qin family and my father is your third uncle."
Qin Haodong said indifferently, "Does the Qin family have anything to do with me?"
Qin Chong was about to lose his temper, but Qin Feiyu stopped him and said, "Haodong, you may have nothing to do with us before, but now things are different.
"Here's a piece of good news: the old master asked us to bring you back home and you're a member of the Qin family now. In terms of seniority, I'm your third uncle and this is my son, Qin Chong. He's your cousin."
Qin Haodong frowned and didn't know what the master, his biological grandfather, was thinking. Did he really think that he was a puppy that would follow his every order? Did he think that he would go back to the Qin family with this stupid nobody?
Was the Qin family so attractive? Was it the imperial palace, or the paradise where everyone was eager to go?
Seeing that Qin Haodong did not speak, Qin Chong thought that he was shocked by the good news. He said proudly, "But it's not so easy for you to go back to the Qin family. There are a few conditions."
Qin Feiyu hesitated for a moment, but he did not stop his son in the end.
Qin Haodong glanced at him as if he were an idiot and asked sarcastically, "Then tell me, how can I return to the Qin family?"
Qin Chong said, "First of all, you have to apologize to us for your disrespect."
Qin Haodong sneered and said, "There seems to be more than one condition. What's the second one?"
Qin Chong said, "The Weis were here to propose marriage, weren't they?"
Qin Haodong nodded and said, "Yes, Wei Junce wanted to marry his granddaughter, Wei Yanran, to me."
Qin Chong said, "I like her and you're not worthy of her. So the second thing is that you must refuse this marriage and make a public statement, announcing that you're not worthy of her in the capital."
After hearing his words, Qin Haodong immediately laughed. Qin Chong said angrily, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"
"You like her and why didn't you take her as your wife earlier? Why did the master of the Wei family propose marriage to me?"
"What..."
Qin Chong was speechless for a while. He did take a fancy to Wei Yanran, but she had always been indifferent to him. This girl did not take him seriously, let alone agree to marry him.
Qin Haodong sneered and said, "You're an incompetent man who can't even get the girl you love. How can you force me to give up the proposal?
"To be honest, I didn't take the marriage of the Wei family seriously, but now you've aroused my interest. I may take her as one of my wives if she's beautiful enough."
"How dare you!"
Qin Chong said angrily, "If that's the case, you will never become a member of the Qin family!"
Qin Haodong sneered and said, "What's so important about the Qin family? Do you think I really care about your family? I'm telling you, even if the Qin family begs me to go back, I won't agree. How dare you talk about conditions here! It's ridiculous!"
