Chapter 144: Arrange Full Board And Lodging For Old Madam Qin? Ms. Liang: She's Lived Long Enough

The sudden appearance of Old Madam Qin surprised almost everyone. She came on so fiercely it seemed she was about to flay Qin Jiang alive.

She usually burned incense and prayed in the Qin family ancestral hall and rarely appeared in public.

Even when she did appear, it was to maintain the dignified aura of an elder—never had she behaved like such a vicious old hag.

Clearly, this old woman was truly anxious.

As if any harm to her precious lucky grandson would require the whole world to be buried with him.

The prayer beads in her hand—symbols of mercy—were wielded by her as a weapon thrown at Qin Jiang.

Although the jade-like beads were smooth and round, they were still stones. If they hit someone—especially the bones or the delicate parts of the face—they could easily be deadly.

Old Madam Qin looked extremely agitated, but in truth the string of beads was being thrown cruelly and precisely toward Qin Jiang’s temple.

She…was even trying to put Qin Jiang to death.

In her eyes, ever since Qin Jiang was told by a fortune-teller that he was the Qin family’s jinx, she could never treat him as a true grandson.

Qin Jiang was just an enemy!

A stain she loathed and wanted to discard!

But Qin Jiang was no longer the old Qin Jiang. He used to obey Old Madam Qin in everything.

After all, according to the traditions of this country… filial piety was the highest virtue!

He respected and was filial to Old Madam Qin, even though she often favored Qin Yun and beat or scolded him.

The former Qin Jiang, upholding filial duty, always endured her punishments without complaint.

But now.

He was no longer part of the Qin family.

Why should he give face to the Qin family’s old woman?

She was just a lonely, mean old woman, extremely superstitious and the reason he suffered so much in the Qin family.

Having never intended to let her off, Qin Jiang had been waiting for this old thing to show up.

Just as the prayer beads were about to hit Qin Jiang’s face, the young man moved so fast he yanked up the collapsing Qin Shuyun who had fallen to the ground.

The trajectory of the bead strand was tricky.

Although it missed Qin Shuyun’s temple this time, the great force directly struck her forehead.

Her forehead stung.

Qin Shuyun screamed, clutching her forehead. Her face, already ashen, took on an even more lifeless pallor.

Jiang…did he not care at all whether she lived or died?

After all, she was his biological elder sister.

Qin Shuyun’s already shattered mood was further crushed.

And Old Madam Qin, seeing Qin Jiang pull his granddaughter in to take the blow, flew into a rage that shot up to the heavens.

“Mr. Luo, what’s the punishment for intentional injury?”

“Since this vicious old lady wants a free room and board, we’ll just oblige her and go with the flow for courtesy’s sake.”

“Old thing, how long do you plan to squat there?”

Qin Jiang’s indifferent gaze swept over Old Madam Qin. She leaned on her cane, hand trembling, staring at his behavior in disbelief.

This grandson…has completely changed!!

Indeed, the jinx had only been hiding his true vicious nature in front of them before.

And now this vicious, unfilial Qin Jiang was the jinx’s truest form.

“Qin Jiang, how dare you?”

“I’m your grandmother, and you actually want to send me to prison at my age—do you have any filial piety left?”

“Qin Jiang, you disappoint me so much and you’ve always been like this—it’s one thing if you can’t compare to Yun, but you always try to compete with Yun in everything…”

“Qin Jiang, if you kowtow and apologize to Grandma now and withdraw all lawsuits against the family, Grandma could possibly forgive…”

The old woman had a heart proud as the sky. The Qin family had long put her on a pedestal.

Her status in the Qin family was one that demanded absolute respect.

“Mr. Luo, it seems…this old witch really wants full board and lodging.”

Luo Xiang lowered his eyes. A trace of indulgent warmth flashed in them.

“…Mm, arrange it.”

Little Jiang has finally learned to fight back…

They should finally be able to rest easier.

Qin Jiang couldn’t be bothered to argue with Old Madam Qin. The outcome was decided—did she think throwing a tantrum would solve anything?

Of course, it’s not that it couldn’t be resolved at all.

Look… old or young, men or women could all go into prison together for board and lodging, right?

It could be a family reunion!!

“Qin Jiang, do you really think this court belongs to you? At my age you still threaten me—are you trying to make me die of anger?”

Old Madam Qin’s face darkened. That arrogant demeanor from moments ago had somewhat receded.

She shuffled toward Qin Shuyun with her cane. This fourth granddaughter was one she truly cared to the bone, and seeing she had accidentally hurt her, she couldn’t help sinking into remorse.

“Little Four…sorry! Grandma misjudged and hurt you.”

“Grandma just saw this unfilial grandson dare to harm you and rushed over to protect you without stopping—are you okay…?”

Facing Qin Shuyun and Qin Yun, Old Madam Qin’s expression softened considerably.

Qin Jiang looked at the scene before him. In the past he would have surely been envious.

But now, he only felt disgust.

“Good, the evidence materials are complete!”

Luo Xiang pressed the recorder and raised it to the judge. “As Mr. Qin Jiang’s counsel, I will sue Old Madam Qin, Ms. Li, for attempted intentional injury against our client, and for having caused indelible psychological harm to our client.”

“We demand that Ms. Li compensate our client $5 million in emotional damages, or we reserve the right to pursue all legal liabilities for Ms. Li’s intentional assault.“

Everyone was floored. What… five… million??

Such an extravagant emotional compensation… Only Luo Xiang would really dare to ask for it!!

The Qin family members, just sued and shaken, were even more horrified.

There was still more?

From the moment the Old Madam Qin barged in intending harm toward Qin Jiang, Yan Liang’s eyes revealed an uncontrollable cruel and sharp look like a surging river.

That old thing who bullied Jiang dared to injure him wantonly in front of so many people.

One can only imagine she must have habitually beaten and scolded Jiang in the past…

The others didn’t care about that.

They only felt Qin Jiang’s counterattack was thoroughly satisfying.

But Yan Liang’s gaze grew darker and colder. Her knuckles cracked and her clenched nails dug into her flesh, yet she felt no pain.

Everyone only saw how gratifying Qin Jiang’s firm retaliation was at this moment!

Only Yan Liang… she felt sorry for Jiang.

“Zhou Ning, how old is this old witch?”

Zhou Ning quickly checked and reported, “Ms. Liang, this old thing is 75 years old.”

Yan Liang nodded lightly and calmly.

“Mm, she’s definitely lived long enough…”
