Chapter 145: Fourth Sister Comes To Her Senses, Slaps Qin Yun And Grandma In Anger!

Yan Liang Young Mistress lowered her eyes, the suppressed cruelty in her gaze nearly bursting forth.

But… she had already promised not to interfere with Jiang’s punishment of the Qin family members. If she stepped in on her own now… What if Jiang got angry?

But even if she didn’t kill that old thing, Yan Liang still had a way to make that old thing peel her own skin.

Given Qin Jiang’s current mental state and methods, he was only in a ‘learning-to-walk’ state compared to Yan Liang.

And when she wanted to strangle someone, she’d go after the person or thing she cared for and treasured most.

The murderous intent on Young Mistress Yan Liang was so strong that the instant cruelty flashed in her eyes and Qin Jiang noticed.

He even looked at Yan Liang and read a look of pity in her eyes.

For a moment, Qin Jiang felt as if his heart, which was stumbling toward ruin, was suddenly grabbed by something.

So, in this world… there was still Yanyan who felt sorry for him.

It turned out that he, Qin Jiang, wasn’t truly abandoned by everyone.

Having Yanyan in his world was like receiving a new life.

“Mr. Luo, I’ll leave this to you.”

“Old or young, male or female—send them all in alive…”

A simple sentence from Qin Jiang was something Luo Xiang could truly execute perfectly.

Qin Shuyun couldn’t believe it. She still wanted to plead with Qin Jiang, but saw the upright, tall young man turn crisply away, his gaze and concern not lingering on any member of the Qin family.

The youth turned, his arm skillfully wrapping around Young Mistress Yan Liang’s slender waist. The Young Mistress Yan Liang—usually full of ruthless killing aura—now obediently and meekly nestled into Qin Jiang’s arms:

“Jiang, you were so cool.”

“I almost couldn’t control myself, I wanted to…”

Yan Liang had always been a person who did as she wished. Wherever she was, as long as she wanted, no one could restrain her actions.

Naturally she had no idea how scandalous her display of intimacy with Qin Jiang would appear to onlookers… outrageous!!

“Ahem ahem, Yanyan… stop.”

Qin Jiang felt a bit embarrassed. He knew very well that the Young Mistress couldn’t say anything polite, especially when she looked at him with that mesmerized, ‘I want to swallow you’ look…

After all, Qin Jiang was rather thin-skinned.

But even though he had stopped the Young Mistress’s words, the trend alone was enough to spark wild imagination.

Luckily, after the reporters saw the Young Mistress appear, they sensibly turned off the live stream early.

They only kept shots of the Qin family members. They wouldn’t dare cut to a frame of Qin Jiang and the Young Mistress together.

Only when this pair of crazy lovers left stylishly together did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

But when they saw Luo Xiang calmly flip open a certain book containing the code of law, they silently mourned for the Qin family for a second…

After all, they had brought it on themselves.

“This… this this… Qin Jiang is simply treacherous. He even dares not to listen to me, his granny, and threatened to send me to jail?”

“At my age, if something happens to me in jail… who would be held responsible?”

“Although $5 million is only a small sum, that’s not a reason for this disaster Qin Jiang to harm and bully me and my good grandson—let him go right now…”

Old Madam Qin continued to make a fuss. Outside, she was of course, an elegant and imposing family matriarch, one who belonged to a generation that could freely reprimand and punish any disobedient person in the Qin family.

Even Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin had to meekly take a scolding in front of this Old Madam Qin.

Who could have imagined that now, when she had come to back and support her own good grandson, she would be sent to prison by another vicious grandson whose identity she refused to acknowledge?

This… was too absurd!!

Clack!

Madam Qin was unbearably noisy and, having been respected in the Qin family for so long, truly thought that people outside the family should also respect and fear her.

In reality, no one treated her as anything special!

Old Madam Qin thus lost her composure.

She was so enraged her heart couldn’t take it and she nearly fainted.

And before she could finish venting, as she tried to give her own good grandson justice in her capacity as the Qin family’s matriarch, she was promptly handcuffed by the court’s security personnel maintaining order…

“Ms. Li, you are disrupting public order in the court. To maintain court order, the court will lawfully detain you.”

Old Madam Qin was stunned.

All her life she’d been pampered as the ancestor at home. Who in the Qin family dared show her any displeasure? This had indirectly fostered Old Madam Qin’s arrogant, presumptuous temperament.

No matter how excessive her actions were.

The children would take her elder status into account and obediently comply.

Proud as Old Madam Qin was, she had never endured the humiliation of being detained.

Qin Shuyun also saw her grandmother trembling with fear and disbelief, utterly shattered.

She hurried forward, wanting to negotiate on behalf of her grandmother, offering money to compensate Qin Jiang so her grandmother wouldn’t have to be detained.

After all, Grandma Qin was old.

If she were really sent to sit in jail, an elderly person would certainly suffer.

“We’ll pay the $5 million for emotional damages. My granny is too old to withstand such a shock—Mr. Luo, please stop this now and let my granny go…”

Qin Shuyun felt like she was about to shatter.

She was already at a disadvantage in court, about to face the collapse of her acting career, and investors and producers were about to sue her for contractual plagiarism.

Qin Jiang had already severed ties with her.

And he had no intention of ‘collaborating’ with her using the best scripts anymore. The acting career she took most pride in and loved began to collapse from this moment.

It was bad enough—being falsely accused by Qin Yun, then attacked by grandma, and grandma even came to the court to make trouble.

Was she afraid that Qin Shuyun wouldn’t end up in jail, so she came to make sure it happened?

Was she insisting that if one Qin family member goes to jail, the whole family must go in too?

“Tsk, Ms. Qin Shuyun, I think you misunderstand.”

“As is well known… compensation for emotional harm has no upper limit. My client was angered by Ms. Li to the point of palpitations and near sudden death, and had to, for health reasons, temporarily leave the court under the support of Young Mistress Yan Liang to go to the hospital for treatment.”

“Five million? That was the compensation figure from a few minutes ago.”

“My client is at constant risk of sudden death on the way to the hospital, so… the compensation must of course be doubled.”

“Just $10 million—much more economical than sending Ms. Li into jail, right?”

Luo Xiang once again performed steadily.

It pushed Qin Shuyun to the point of near collapse. Qin Qianyun frowned, wanting to defend her fourth sister, but in the end she held back and said nothing.

Punishment from Qin Jiang would inevitably be thunderous and lethal.

But all of this was clearly forced by Grandma. Jiang actually wasn’t wrong… the ones at fault were always the Qin family members.

Qin Qianyun actually saw things clearly. She knew every member of the Qin family deserved retribution for having hurt Jiang.

But Qin Qianyun was, after all, human.

Human nature is complicated.

She couldn’t bear to see her fourth sister forced by Qin Jiang’s methods to fall into the dust, nor could she bear to see Jiang falsely imprisoned.

Qin Qianyun felt like drifting duckweed, unstable at her core and unable to find support.

In truth, she was wrong… she had made another fatal mistake.

Knowing full well Qin Jiang was the victim and had only fought back in self-defense… she actually felt sorry for all the abusers!!

Was she still even human?

Qin Qianyun stood there silently collapsing, her heart sliced into many pieces so that even she could hardly reassemble a whole self…

Jiang, I’m sorry!

Jiang, Fifth Sister has made a mistake again.

Jiang, can you give Fifth Sister one more chance to repent? Just once… just one time!

“…Fine, $10 million it is.”

Qin Shuyun had no choice—filial piety came first. She’d always been a dutiful granddaughter and naturally couldn’t bear to see her grandmother get into trouble under her nose.

But Old Madam Qin didn’t appreciate it this time.

She first bent over to pull up her disheveled grandson Qin Yun.

Then her resentful eyes turned and said, “Qin Shuyun, as Yun’s fourth sister, is this how you protect your brother?”

“Also, your brother just said it was because you misunderstood him that that bastard Qin Jiang went mad and accidentally injured our Yun… Little Four, you really make grandma more and more disappointed.”

Qin Shuyun stared in disbelief at the elder who had already been handcuffed by security.

So she didn’t even have time to explain.

Was she already convicted in her grandma’s eyes?

She was once again unable to refute.

In Qin Shuyun’s eyes was bone-deep, corroding pain. Every nerve in her body was taut and screaming.

In that moment, Qin Shuyun felt the high wall she’d built in her heart collapse and dissipate…

Originally she was willing to pay for Grandma Qin to walk free. Even if she had to fork out $10 million, she wouldn’t let her suffer going to prison at her age.

But at this moment Qin Shuyun’s gaze darkened and she rasped, “Wait, since grandma is willing to stay and ‘room and board’ with Qin Yun, I won’t insist…”

“Grandma, I really failed to protect your precious eldest grandson. Now… you stay and personally protect him~”

Qin Shuyun’s mental state was on the verge of collapse and shattering.

She ground her teeth through the last of her restraint, finished speaking, and suddenly lunged at Qin Yun.

Her fingers mercilessly grabbed Qin Yun’s hair, her sharp nails mercilessly clawed at Qin Yun’s face.

“Qin Yun, why should you be allowed to deceive me and remain unscathed? Since my disfigured face can never be restored… why don’t you come keep me company…”

No one had expected Qin Shuyun to lose control like this.

Yet everything somehow also seemed natural.

The courtroom instantly erupted into chaos.

Luo Xiang hurriedly tried to restore order.

No one trying to pull them apart could get close to the two siblings.

Ten minutes later… Qin Shuyun had pinned Qin Yun down and clawed his face until it was covered in blood.

“Qin Yun, this is what you owe me!”

“Qin Yun, wasn’t the burn ointment Mom used formulated by you? Now her body will be left with scars… why are you—the ringleader—still roaming free?”

This lawsuit, at its core, was also being fought for Qin Yun’s sake.

He was the ultimate beneficiary.

Yet at the same time, despite being found guilty, was now left untouched.

He had become the one punished the least in this case.

Why should that be the case?

What did Qin Yun do to get the advantage that none of the sisters got?

Even though she was the possibly the closest to him, once her mental state tilted away from him, then it was going to fall inevitably into irreversible ruin…

While clawing at Qin Yun’s face, Qin Shuyun also straddled him and slapped him.

Old Madam Qin was stunned.

She had just wanted to step forward to mediate, but Qin Shuyun, in her fury, simply swung her hand and slapped her across the face.

Smack!!

The slap landed… with resounding force.

That slap!

Both Qin Shuyun and Old Madam Qin were stunned.

As a junior, Qin Shuyun actually dared to show no respect for her elders and hit one?

“Little Four, you…”

Old Madam Qin covered her face. In her long life of loftiness, today she had first been defied and suppressed by Qin Jiang, and second… become a live target of her fourth granddaughter—an elder struck by a junior!!

“Shut up!”

“You should be hit too!!”

Qin Shuyun’s mental state edged toward collapse. She had gone crazy!!!
