Chapter 140: Fourth Sister Apologizes: If You Withdraw The Lawsuit, You Can Inherit The Qin Family!

Qin Jiang had a cold, austere bearing as he plainly stood there, yet for no reason he gave off an aloof, imperious chill that seemed to keep people a thousand miles away.

As the judge’s ruling came down.

Qin Shuyun stared at Qin Jiang, her gaze filled with disbelief.

As if to ask, on what grounds could Qin Jiang be granted the court’s exceptional acceptance?

However, the judge’s handling was defensible—after all, the witness testimony and physical evidence provided by Luo Xiang had clearly been prepared well ahead of time. It was clearly aimed straight at the Qin family.

For a moment Qin Shuyun was at a loss before the facts. Her worldview crumbled inch by inch, collapsing into disarray!

Both Qin Shuyun and Qin Yun currently counted as members of the entertainment industry.

Especially Qin Shuyun—an actress-turned-director who had been a queen of the screen. Even now, the number of awards her films had won would still rank among the top in the industry.

So even though she had left the industry, she could still mobilize massive fan traffic to clash with Qin Jiang.

To seek justice, to assert righteousness!

But now, after taking away Qin Jiang’s original script, Endless Cold Wind, based on the stack of documents submitted so far… She had read them all. All these years she had believed that Qin Jiang had once siphoned off her talent and creative spirit.

In the end, she, Qin Shuyun, turned out to be the real vampire!

The more loudly she had ranted just now, the more ridiculous Qin Shuyun looked at this moment…

Her last reputation as a retired top actress was utterly destroyed by this lawsuit—she had become an unmistakable washed-up star who had lost her dignity.

Previously, in order to ruin Qin Jiang’s reputation and make him receive his due punishment.

Qin Shuyun had made a lot of effort in generating momentum.

Several of the reporters supposedly covering the live broadcast had been deliberately brought in by her.

Yet now, that very thing had become the greatest punishment that crushed her instead!!

Qin Yun also noticed the change in Qin Shuyun’s attitude toward him. He tried to hold onto her, repeatedly calling out, “Fourth Sister”…

But this time, Qin Shuyun gave no response.

Qin Shuyun, a retired top actress who had also served as director and screenwriter, was now embroiled in a plagiarism scandal.

She was destined to completely lose honor, status, and perhaps more in this whirlpool-like world of fame and fortune.

“Don’t call me Fourth Sister!!”

“Qin Yun, I don’t have a brother like you!”

“You’re terrible, you deceived me for a full four years…”

Qin Shuyun could no longer hold back and screamed hoarsely. An all-encompassing pain swept over her, as if a fierce beast was tearing her apart, leaving her bleeding.

She wanted to struggle, but the tearing only made her pain worse…

So this was what it felt like to be betrayed by the person closest to you.

Had Jiang once suffered like this as well?

Qin Shuyun shook off the hand Qin Yun had put on her, her expression repressed and agonized.

She could no longer control her strength.

With a reverse push she sent Qin Yun sprawling straight to the ground, his wheelchair and its occupant toppled in a shameful tumble.

Humiliation swept over him from all directions.

When had Qin Yun, the proud young scion of the Qin family, ever suffered such grievance? Yet now he was isolated and without help.

Although she was collapsing emotionally, if Qin Jiang were allowed to continue the lawsuit now, the entire Qin family and her whole career would be ruined.

Now, they could only apply for an out-of-court settlement…

Enduring the feeling of collapse, Qin Shuyun’s eyes reddened as she nervously glanced at Qin Jiang.

She saw that the placard reading “Defendant” in front of Qin Jiang had already been changed to “Plaintiff”!!

And in her eyes, she herself had already become the “defendant”!

“Jiang, Fourth Sister was indeed at fault, blind for four years and never seeing the truth—Fourth Sister solemnly apologizes to you here!”

Qin Shuyun stepped forward and suddenly bowed ninety degrees.

Her attitude in admitting fault was unexpectedly straightforward.

But Qin Jiang watched the scene with a cold gaze and a faintly mocking smile in his heart, continuing to watch her act.

Given his understanding of Qin Shuyun.

Qin Yun… she would, after all, still protect.

Sure enough, the next moment Qin Shuyun hesitated and frowned. “But Jiang, over the years, although Yun’s concealment caused such a big misunderstanding…”

“But after all his health is poor, so he absolutely can’t stand prison. We’re family, after all… why not settle out of court?”

“Don’t worry, as long as you’re willing to settle out of court, you will still be an heir to our Qin family.”

“Jiang, you are a son of the Qin family, of course you are also one of the Qin family’s heirs.”

Qin Shuyun did resent Qin Yun’s concealment, but even if Qin Yun had indeed taken credit for Qin Jiang’s four years of work, the brother had devotedly sought inspiration for her, his Fourth Sister, and it was true he had wanted to reassure her.

Qin Yun had indeed hurt Jiang.

But that did not negate Yun’s care for her, his Fourth Sister. Yun must have been afraid she’d treat Qin Jiang better, so he deliberately concealed it, not expecting it would be exposed now.

Qin Shuyun’s claim of not being angry was false.

Yet a faint warmth flowed in her heart.

Yun cared so much for her—what did it matter even if he falsely claimed Qin Jiang’s achievements?

His diligent study of cosmetic repair products and techniques for her appearance… surely that wasn’t a lie!!

Therefore, though Qin Shuyun put on a posture as if to break with Qin Yun, in truth she still protected him in her heart.

Over the years she had long been used to unconditionally standing in front of her brother Yun whenever anything happened to him.

Shielding and sheltering this frail brother from the wind and rain.

This was the consensus and the duty of the five sisters.

Anyone who wasn’t a fool could hear the meaning behind Qin Shuyun’s words.

This was her setting conditions with Qin Jiang.

As long as Qin Jiang was willing to withdraw the suit.

Then Qin Jiang could return to the Qin family household and obtain inheritance rights.

Wow… what a tremendous honor~~

Qin Jiang almost laughed out loud.

With the mountains of gold and silver Yanyan gave him, who would still bother with the Qin family’s meager trifles?

“Pfft.”

In the solemn courtroom, a coquettish, mocking laugh suddenly sounded.

Everyone’s gazes couldn’t help converging there, and then were hard to withdraw.

“The Qin family’s meager little oats and nuts—you want my Jiang to inherit them so that he can have porridge for the rest of his life?”

Yan Liang raised her eyes. Her piercing gaze revealed its sharpness, and derisive contempt was obvious.

And Young Mistress Yan Liang also made it clear: Qin Jiang… was hers!!
