Kindness?
Qi Ye had heard Xu Tingyu use this word to describe Qi Shifeng more than once.
Before, he only thought it was ridiculous. Now, he even felt an indescribable anger.
He almost lost his composure. In the darkness, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and questioned her, "Kindness? May I ask where his kindness lies?"
"Was it kind of him to run away before the wedding with you, or was it kind of him to reluctantly come back and marry you but ignore you?"
"Or was it kind of him to stand by coldly when your Xu family went bankrupt?"
"Using this word to describe him is really an insult to it. Born into the Qi family, he was doomed to have nothing to do with this word."
"Do you know that when he was eighteen, he personally dragged the woman my dad liked most out of my dad's bed and sent her to prison?"
"At my dad's funeral, he didn't shed a single tear. Over the years, he has never visited his grave even once."
"And all of this is because my grandfather promised to train him to be the heir of Qi Corporation. For the sake of power, he could abandon his family."
Qi Ye was really mad with anger and took the initiative to mention his father, Qi Dezhi, whom he least wanted to talk about.
Qi Dezhi was a disgrace in the Qi family.
The old man named him "Dezhi" (meaning virtue and knowledge) in the hope that he would be both virtuous and talented. However, he was an out-and-out playboy.
Moreover, he was also a stupid one, trapped in the company of women all his life, like a hopeless mess.
He had somewhat restrained himself before marriage. After marriage, especially after having three children, he completely let himself go.
At that time, he still held an important position in the company and had considerable real power.
However, he had no interest in his career and basically perfunctorily dealt with his work. He also blindly believed what others said.
Later, the people under him took advantage of his "delegation of power" and the loopholes in the company, almost causing the company heavy losses.
Fortunately, the old man discovered it in time and stopped the losses in time.
For this reason, he was severely punished by the old man.
He behaved himself for a while.
But as the saying goes, a dog can't change its eating habits.
He met a woman during a business entertainment. She was a sales representative of the other company.
The two of them hit it off immediately and got into bed together that night.
There were many such women around Qi Dezhi. After sleeping with them, he would just give them some benefits after a while and send them away.
However, this woman was extremely skillful. Somehow she whispered something in his ear and even jumped to Qi Corporation.
If this woman was just a jealous one who only wanted some small benefits, it would have been okay.
But she was actually smart and resourceful.
After entering Qi Corporation, relying on Qi Dezhi's "protection", she managed to gain control of several major customers in just one year.
Moreover, she also used all the resources at her disposal to place her own people in several key positions.
By the time the old man noticed something was wrong, the woman had become the absolute authority in the sales department.
If she had served Qi Corporation well, she could have been considered a talent.
But she was extremely ambitious and wanted to make money twice.
Simply put, she was getting paid by Qi Corporation while selling important company data to rival companies.
The old man was furious and had a very serious argument with Qi Dezhi.
Maybe the old man scolded too harshly, or maybe the woman's whispering in his ear had an effect. Qi Dezhi immediately declared,
"You look down on me so much. The company will still be handed over to me in the future. If I really bankrupt it, it's the Qi family's fate."
"Moreover, nothing bad has happened yet. Xiao Rou is very capable. What's wrong with her being the head of the sales department?"
"I'm going to give her a raise. If she can bear my child, I'll marry her and she'll have half of the Qi family in the future."
He was obviously just saying angry words.
After all, Qi Ye was already twenty years old at that time. How could he possibly have an illegitimate child?
But he said this in front of Liu Ning, who took it seriously and started crying and making a scene at home, complaining about how hard she had been over the years.
The old man was so angry that he had a stroke and was immediately sent to the hospital.
Qi Dezhi knew he had caused a big problem. He immediately ran away from the hospital and directly moved into that woman's house.
That woman wished the chaos in his family would get worse so that she could reap the benefits.
But she miscalculated.
Qi Dezhi was a hopeless mess, but Qi Shifeng was not.
Even though he was only eighteen years old at that time, he quietly collected all the evidence of the woman's betrayal of the company.
Then he took the bodyguards of Qi Corporation and the police to her house and directly arrested the sleeping woman, sending her to the police station on the charge of embezzlement.
Later, in addition to embezzlement, there were also charges of fraud, abetting a crime, etc.
After being convicted of multiple crimes, the woman was sentenced to twenty years in prison.
Moreover, all her informants in the company were also uprooted.
Although the company suffered significant losses, it was prevented from getting even worse.
It was only after all the matters were resolved that Qi Shifeng celebrated his eighteenth birthday.
The first thing the old man did after being discharged from the hospital was to publicly announce that he would skip Qi Dezhi and directly pass the company to Qi Shifeng.
After that, he did speed up the training of Qi Shifeng.
Qi Dezhi became an invisible person in the family.
Even though Qi Shifeng was his son, he was still unwilling.
After all, who wants to live at the mercy of others?
Even if that person is one's own son.
So he lost his temper at Qi Shifeng more than once. Later, he had a car accident.
"My dad died in a car accident, but why did he have that car accident?"
When Qi Ye said this, his voice became hoarse with anger.
Xu Tingyu didn't know about these past events of the Qi family. Hearing the question, she frowned slightly and asked, "Wasn't it an accident?"
She had also seen the news reports at that time.
After all, Qi Dezhi was the only son of the old man of the Qi family. When he died in a car accident, the media reported it widely.
However, the reports at that time did not provide details, only stating that there was also a young woman in the car when the accident happened.
Everyone was gossiping about the identity of that young woman. Who cared if there was an inside story?
Now, Qi Ye clearly stated, "Of course it wasn't an accident. It was a premeditated murder. The car's braking system was sabotaged."
Xu Tingyu was a little surprised and even had some bad assumptions, so she didn't ask further.
But Qi Ye didn't want to stop there.
He looked at her expression and sneered, "This matter was personally suppressed by my grandfather. In the end, it was concluded as an accident and left unresolved."
"However, my dad was his only son. He died in that car accident, but my grandfather didn't even want to seek justice for him."
"Even if my dad was a complete jerk, a father wouldn't not even want to know the truth about his son's death."
"There's only one possibility, which is that he knew the truth but was willing to cover it up for someone else."
"And who was the biggest beneficiary when my dad died? It was Qi Shifeng. Because three months after my dad's death, all the shares in his name were transferred to Qi Shifeng."
"A person who killed his father to seize power, and you still say he's kind?"
