Chapter 114: Qin Jiang, You Are The Older Brother, You Should Give In To Yun

Qin Jiang hung up the phone and surprisingly still felt somewhat unsatisfied.

Even though Yanyan had just teased him until his face was flushed, he really liked that feeling.

Of course, every time the Young Mistress teased him playfully and he pushed back, the Young Mistress patiently cooperated.

Strength and gentleness… the Young Mistress gave both to Qin Jiang.

“Brother Jiang, I finally found you. Do you have a fever? Why is your face so red?”

“I’ll go buy cold medicine right now.”

When Sun Zhaoyu arrived, he saw Qin Jiang holding his phone with a dreamy smile and his cheeks quite flushed.

Tonight’s main business was crucial. Brother Jiang’s health must be at its best.

“Ahem… I’m fine.”

“I’m not feverish, it’s just… the heating in here is a bit hot.”

Qin Jiang quickly fanned his face, a little embarrassed, and urged Sun Zhaoyu to take his seat.

After all, the seat was reserved with the Yan family’s black card, so Qin Jiang’s seat was placed right at the front.

The VIP seating area.

The surrounding bosses looked at Qin Jiang, a surprisingly young new face, with some suspicion.

But he was handsome, with an outstanding height and build.

They immediately speculated he was some patron’s kept “golden nightingale” behind the scenes.

But such things were common in their circles, so everyone merely glanced and turned their attention back to tonight’s auction.

Everyone had a booklet about the event.

It listed the items to be auctioned tonight.

The first piece Qin Jiang submitted through the Yan family’s channels was a painting titled “Autumn Wind,” which experts later identified as most characteristic of Master Sun Weilong’s style.

Of course, in his previous life this was also Master Sun Weilong’s first auctioned piece, instantly causing a sensation in the art world.

With this opening, Qin Jiang was absolutely confident.

Based on his previous life’s sequence of events, he’d make a guaranteed profit!

“Brother Jiang, look over there… why is our school’s top beauty Bai Chuchu staring at you non-stop?”

“She clearly already has a male companion—can’t her eyes be still for a moment?”

“The outside world calls her the pure campus beauty, but why do I feel she’s like a wolf or tiger… I even think if there weren’t so many people around she’d pounce on you…“

Sun Zhaoyu couldn’t help but complain.

He’d been at the hospital caring for Grandpa Sun recently, so he didn’t know much about school matters.

He only thought Brother Jiang was still fawning over Bai Chuchu like before.

“Shut up.”

“That’s disgusting.”

Qin Jiang coldly cut off Sun Zhaoyu’s babbling and couldn’t resist giving him a hard pat on the forehead!

Sun Zhaoyu was confused

What was going on? Had Brother Jiang fallen for someone else?

Was there anyone purer or prettier than Bai Chuchu in this world? Brother Jiang’s missing out big time, or so he thought.

…

Meanwhile.

Qin Muyun pushed a wheelchair into Fengmingxuan.

Qin Yun’s face was pale, his skin carrying a coldness as from blood loss.

Qin Muyun was heartbroken, but sadly, after years of studying medicine she still couldn’t cure Yun’s illness.

But it would be soon—if she could be selected as a Top-Level TCM physician in a month, she’d become one of Dr. Manke’s disciples.

Dr. Manke was the most capable TCM master globally, and a leading authority in hypnosis and psychology.

Dr. Manke preferred tranquility and only accepted one disciple.

That position naturally had only one slot!

If she became Dr. Manke’s final disciple, then Yun’s illness could be saved.

As for Qin Jiang, since he was not obedient at all and had a violent, erratic, base nature.

She planned to hypnotize him, split him into several personalities, and hypnotically make the gentle personality the dominant one…

Although this method was despised and not recognized in hypnosis circles—they argued it was no different from “killing” the original person.

But Qin Muyun disagreed. As long as Qin Jiang could be changed into an obedient little brother who dutifully provided fresh blood for Yun, wasn’t that enough?

“Second Sister, I’ve always been the one making the burn ointment. Although Elder Brother took the finished product, I can remake it…”

“It’s just that one missing ingredient is truly rare and will probably be very expensive.“

“But as long as we win the live wild ginseng plant at the auction, I’m confident I can make Mother’s burns heal without scarring.”

Qin Yun looked up at his second sister with longing eyes, full of sincerity and determination.

Every time Qin Muyun saw how sensible Qin Yun was, her nose would sting with emotion.

This little brother had been personally cared for and doted on by the five sisters since childhood.

All blame lay with Qin Jiang, who was raised poorly at the bottom. He shouldn’t have returned to the Qin family to ruin the siblings’ relationship!!

Rumor had it the eldest sister and the fifth sister had now fallen out with the family.

All caused by Qin Jiang’s meddling!

“Yun, Second Sister of course trusts you.”

“It’s just that this Qin Jiang is far too cunning, and you’re too kind to fall for his traps again and again.”

“Don’t worry… this time Second Sister will clear your name and make him compensate you for all reputational damage!“

The two echoed each other and took their seats at the auction.

Qin Jiang was seated in the most conspicuous spot in the front row, and Qin Muyun and Qin Yun spotted him at once.

“Tch! He just latched onto a monster and now he gets to show off!”

Qin Yun’s face darkened—had he known that following that violent, bloodthirsty Young Mistress would yield so many privileges, he wouldn’t have let Qin Jiang marry into the Yan family for him…

Actually Young Mistress Yan Liang, besides having a strange temper, was ruthless in her methods!

In truth she had a great figure and was beautiful, and crucially, she was young. Perhaps in bed…

Thinking this made Qin Yun’s expression even uglier.

All the privileges Qin Jiang enjoyed should rightfully belong to him!

“Second Sister, don’t blame Brother Qin Jiang. Blame me too—I was afraid my poor health wouldn’t let me serve Yan Liang well, so I reluctantly let Brother Qin Jiang temporarily go to Liangyue Manor in my stead…”

“Yan Liang was doing it for me, which is why she was so considerate to Brother Qin Jiang…”

“It’s just that I’m useless, sick like this and can only have my brother accept Yan Liang’s favor on my behalf.”

“At night in my dreams… I really want to die so I don’t have to endure the pain of losing Yan Liang.“

Qin Yun sat in the wheelchair with dull, listless eyes, his pale lips tightly pressed, his face growing even paler from pain.

The loneliness flashed in his eyes and was pitifully touching.

Qin Muyun was heartbroken.

At this moment she only felt Qin Jiang was a thorn that split Qin Yun and Yan Liang apart, never considering how excessive it was that the whole family once forced Qin Jiang to marry into for Qin Yun!!

“Yun, don’t worry, I believe Young Mistress Yan Liang will understand your physical limitations…””

“As long as Qin Jiang willingly divorces Young Mistress Yan Liang, you can properly pursue your admiration for her.”

“Since the Young Mistress first made an arrangement with you, surely she favored you more than Qin Jiang.“

“Yun, don’t be discouraged. Once Second Sister becomes Dr. Manke’s final disciple and finds a cure for you, you can be with the Young Mistress for a long time…”

Qin Muyun gently patted Qin Yun’s head with extreme tenderness—an expression she never showed toward Qin Jiang.

Her smile toward Qin Jiang had never been genuine.

“Mm, with Second Sister saying that, I believe Yan Liang has feelings for me too.”

“Once I’m healthy, Brother Qin Jiang can return Yan Liang to me…”

He wanted everything Qin Jiang had in the Yan family.

Before, he greedily hoarded all of the Qin family’s resources, afraid Qin Jiang would soil everything of the Qin family.

Now likewise, Yan Liang should belong entirely to Qin Yun!

Qin Jiang was only temporarily substituting for him. He would take her back sooner or later!

If Yan Liang treated him well later, he might even consider not stealing the Yan family’s secrets and toppling the Yan family.

Soon, the auction began.

As in Qin Jiang’s previous life, an artistic family from Port City bought Grandpa Sun’s painting “Autumn Wind” for $50 million.

With a torrent of highly professional praise, the name “Sun Weilong” entered the view of artists and the public.

Sun Zhaoyu couldn’t believe it and hugged Qin Jiang excitedly.

“Aaaah… Brother Jiang, we totally nailed it!!”

“My Grandpa finally turned his fortunes around—he’s worked diligently painting for years, his works repeatedly rejected or undersold… now his hardships have finally paid off!!”

Sun Zhaoyu burst into tears while Qin Jiang comfortingly patted his shoulder.

Now, everything was under his control.

Tonight’s finale was a live plant—the wild human‑head ginseng!

In the front row, after seeing Qin Yun appear, Bai Chuchu silently put on a mask.

“Chuchu, what are you doing, are you unwell?”

Wu Shao looked puzzled, then ostentatiously put his arm around her waist.

Bai Chuchu dared not make a scene and obediently nestled in Wu Shao’s arms.

She glanced at Qin Jiang several times, trying to detect any sign of jealousy.

However, the man remained motionless as a mountain.

As if he truly didn’t care about her, or rather… as if he had never noticed her at all from the start.

Qin Jiang, you really know how to pretend!!

“Ladies and gentlemen, the finale of this auction—the live wild ginseng plant, starting bid is $1 million.”

“Please place your bids!!”

Many people were baffled—just a wild plant that didn’t even look like ginseng, and it’s a million??

Those who didn’t recognize its value naturally gave up bidding.

But many interested in traditional medicine, and those specifically seeking remedies, began to compete.

Soon the bid rose to $10 million!

In the previous life, Qin Jiang hadn’t participated in the bidding, so he didn’t know the final price.

At $10 million he cautiously raised his paddle. “Ten million and one dime~”

The whole hall erupted. Didn’t he know how auctions worked?!

“Sorry sir, the minimum increment when raising a paddle is $10,000, there is no rule for adding one dime. We apologize and hope for your cooperation.”

Qin Jiang really had never attended an auction before.

He didn’t understand the rules, but now that he did, he continued to raise his bid. “$11 million!”

“Pfft, hahahaha… where did this bumpkin come from, deserving to sit in that VIP center seat?”

“Wait, that seat seems reserved for the Yan family’s financial conglomerate… you’d better shut up if you don’t want to die.”

This time Qin Muyun raised her paddle. “$15 million!!”

“Qin Jiang, you’re Yun’s brother—just let this ginseng go to your brother. Anyway you won’t use it even if you win it, so don’t be so stubborn.”

“If you withdraw, Second Sister will give you $20,000 as compensation later—how about that?”
