Chapter 246 Did the old man not make things difficult for you?
"Take photos?" The old man's tone was clearly suspicious. "Take photos of what?"
“Of course it’s a promotional photo.” Yu Yuetong spoke up before Qin Reng could, winking at him. “Grandpa, you don’t even know this?”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then the old man's slightly disgruntled voice rang out again: "Since it's a promotional photo, why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
Yu Yuetong's eyes darted around, and she said with a smile, "Grandpa, we just wanted to give you a surprise. The photos turned out really well, I'm sure you'll be satisfied."
"Alright, stop arguing with me." The old man's tone was firm, but Yu Yuetong could hear a hint of amusement in his voice. "Since you've already filmed it, then go ahead and film it. But next time something like this happens, you must notify me first."
"Understood, Grandpa," Qin Reng replied indifferently.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Yuetong stretched and asked casually, "How was it? Did the old man give you a hard time?"
Qin Reng shook his head, his brows furrowed. "No, but he doesn't seem very happy."
Yu Yuetong sighed and patted his shoulder. "Don't think too much about it. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Grandpa's not going to eat you, is he?"
Qin Reng turned to look at her, his eyes deep. "I just feel that he seems... somewhat disappointed in me."
Yu Yuetong was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. Old Master Qin had always hoped that Qin Reng and Ji Momo would be together, and now that his relationship with Yu Yuetong was getting closer and closer, the old man would naturally feel disappointed.
"Don't think too much about it," Yu Yuetong comforted him. "The old man is getting on in years, and it's inevitable that he'll be a bit stubborn. As long as you do what you think is right and have a clear conscience, that's all that matters."
Qin Reng nodded without saying a word.
The two returned to the photography studio to retrieve the photos and then drove to the old house. The atmosphere was somewhat somber along the way; each lost in their own thoughts, neither spoke a word.
Upon arriving at the old house, the butler warmly welcomed the two inside. In the hall, Old Master Qin sat upright, leaning on a cane, his face serious.
"Grandpa!" Qin Reng and Yu Yuetong called out in unison.
The old man looked up at the two of them, his gaze falling on Yu Yuetong, and said meaningfully, "Tongtong, come and sit down."
Yu Yuetong obediently sat down next to the old man, a sweet smile on her face. "Grandpa, did you call us here today because of something important?"
The old man didn't answer directly, but instead picked up a few photos from the coffee table and handed them to her. "Take a look at these."
Yu Yuetong took the photos and was immediately stunned. The photos were indeed taken in the studio today, but some of the angles looked strange, as if they had been taken secretly.
In one of the photos, Yu Yuetong and Qin Reng are standing very close, almost touching, and look very intimate.
"Grandpa, what is this...?" Yu Yuetong looked at the old man in confusion.
The old man snorted and said, "These photos were mailed to my home this morning."
Yu Yuetong's heart sank, and an ominous premonition surged within her. She subconsciously turned to look at Qin Reng, only to find his face grim, clearly having guessed the origin of the photo.
"Grandpa, you don't think I took these photos, do you?" Yu Yuetong asked cautiously, trying to find clues from the old man's expression.
The old man didn't speak, but scrutinized her with sharp eyes.
Yu Yuetong felt a chill run down her spine and quickly explained, "Grandpa, I absolutely didn't take these photos! I swear!"
The old man waved his hand, interrupting her. "I didn't say you took them. But these photos are indeed quite intriguing..."
He paused, then continued, "Xiao Reng, your relationship with Tongtong recently... seems to have undergone some subtle changes."
Qin Reng took a deep breath and slowly said, "Grandpa, there is nothing between Miss Yu and me."
"Nothing at all?" The old man raised an eyebrow. "Then how do you explain these photos?"
Qin Reng said without changing his expression, "It's just a matter of angle. Miss Yu and I maintain an appropriate distance."
Yu Yuetong nodded frantically beside her, echoing, "Yes, Grandpa, Mr. Qin and I are completely innocent! Heaven and earth can bear witness!"
The old man gave the two of them a meaningful look, but did not press further. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Regardless of your relationship, the most important thing now is to get pregnant as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, both Yu Yuetong and Qin Reng were stunned.
Yu Yuetong chuckled twice and said, "Grandpa, isn't this... a bit too fast?"
The old man glared at her, "What's so quick about it! You've been married into this family for so long, it's time you had a child."
Yu Yuetong was inwardly groaning. She couldn't wait to divorce Qin Reng and had no desire to have a child with him.
Qin Reng frowned slightly and said, "Grandpa, there are so many things going on at the company right now, I'm afraid..."
The old man interrupted him, saying firmly, "No matter how busy the company is, this important matter cannot be delayed! You two must give me a child as soon as possible! Otherwise..."
He paused, a warning glint in his eyes. "Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
Yu Yuetong and Qin Reng exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness and annoyance in each other's eyes.
"Grandpa, please don't make things difficult for us," Yu Yuetong said with a bitter face. "Having a baby isn't something you can just decide to do..."
The old man snorted coldly, "I don't care about all that, you two must get pregnant within a year! Otherwise, I'll dismiss Qin Reng from his post!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuetong immediately became anxious. "Grandpa, aren't you making things difficult for me?!"
The old man remained unmoved, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, you can all go back now. There's no room for discussion on this!"
As Yu Yuetong left the old house, she kept sighing.
"What are we going to do..." she scratched her head in frustration. "Grandpa is clearly trying to force us to have a baby!"
Qin Reng was driving, his expression also not very good. "Don't rush, let's talk about it when we get back."
Yu Yuetong sighed, leaned back in her chair, and felt extremely depressed. She felt like she was trapped in a cage, unable to move forward or backward.
Just then, Qin Reng's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and frowned.
"Who is it?" Yu Yuetong asked curiously.
Qin Reng hesitated for a moment, then answered the phone. "Hello, Mom."
On the other end of the phone, Han Shuang's concerned voice came through: "Xiao Reng, how are you and Tongtong? Did the old man give you any trouble?"
Qin Reng said calmly, "No, Mom, we're fine."
"That's good." Han Shuang breathed a sigh of relief. "The old man is getting on in years, so he's bound to be a bit stubborn. Please bear with him."
"Mm," Qin Reng replied, about to hang up, when Han Shuang said again, "By the way, Reng, your dad just called me..."
