Chapter 189: The Qin Family Falls Apart; Did Our House Just Explode??

Yan Liang pulled Qin Jiang and left Jiayu Manor, while Qin Xiangyun still wanted to approach Qin Jiang to plead for mercy.

But at the sight of Young Mistress Yan’s domineering stride, for a moment she didn’t dare act rashly.

“The birthday banquet isn’t even over yet, and Ms. Liang is leaving with Mr. Qin? Can’t wait that much?”

“Mr. Qin? Better call him CEO Qin, perhaps—this Qin Jiang’s worth is no longer what it used to be. As the head of Jiang Yan Group, the internet industry may be a new rising force, but that’s not all.”

“Right now he seems set on the hot cake of the semiconductor industry. Honestly… it won’t be long before Qin Jiang is no longer just a pretty face—he’s clearly become a new big shot riding on the Yan family’s financial power.“

“How big a loss is this for the Qin family—sisters and brothers pushed CEO Qin to the brink, and now look, he’s risen and has nothing to do with the Qin family anymore.”

“I think we should avoid doing business with the Qin family from now on. Who knows how much time a company that angers Young Mistress Yan will have to develop in the future… we don’t want to be innocently dragged down…”

The bigwigs’ chatter was loud, and of course it reached the ears of Qin Xiangyun, Qin Moyun and Qin Yun.

However, right now each of them was emotionally out of control.

Especially Qin Xiangyun—she never expected that the brother she trusted most, Yun, would let her rear be breached.

“Third Sister, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault… I just thought you needed me to act that way, so I took the initiative, but I didn’t expect to make things worse for you.”

“Third Sister, Eldest Sister really misunderstood me—even if I lied it was out of good intentions.“

Qin Yun knew very well that he had been completely seen through and despised by Eldest Sister Qin Moyun.

He could only hope that Third Sister would still believe him and help shield him from Eldest Sister’s outburst.

Qin Xiangyun watched Qin Jiang leave with her eyes wide, already realizing that this loss was unavoidable.

She knew that her brother Yun’s intentions were good since childhood, and it was because of her that Eldest Sister had misunderstood him.

So in the end she endured the pain and accepted her loss—with Young Mistress Qi present, her loss couldn’t be faked.

Qin Xiangyun could see everyone around them viewing them as a spectacle. She stepped forward and tried to pull up the somewhat abnormal Qin Moyun, “Eldest Sister, no matter who you blame, don’t lose that proud backbone of yours.”

“This is not a place for a Qin family daughter to kneel.”

“Come, I’ll take you home!”

Qin Xiangyun tried to play peacemaker. She trusted Qin Yun’s words from the bottom of her heart.

Instead, she felt Eldest Sister’s behavior was far too exaggerated.

As a member of the Qin family, she knew well that Eldest Sister got nervous under too much pressure—maybe she was having an episode, who could say?

Qin Xiangyun’s plan was still to take her away from here first.

Seeing this, Qin Yun also wanted to step forward to help, but he didn’t have the nerve.

Because Eldest Sister’s gaze at him was so cold and bitter, as if she truly saw him as an enemy.

For a while Qin Yun only dared stand in place. His reputation online had completely collapsed, but fortunately he never really planned to enter the entertainment industry full-time.

Besides, the entertainment world moved fast—once the next big scandal broke, it would cover over his heat.

This matter would pass.

That’s how the fast-paced era worked. It’s one of the rare perks of the entertainment industry.

“…There’s no going back.”

Qin Moyun’s face went deathly pale, her gaze still fixed on the direction where Qin Jiang and Yan Liang left hand in hand, the little hope in her eyes shattered—this time she hadn’t even gotten a proper look from Brother Qin Jiang.

Qin Moyun spoke faintly, but she seemed as if she might break into pieces at any moment.

Qin Xiangyun couldn’t understand how Eldest Sister, a proud corporate CEO, had suddenly become so despondent.

She couldn’t care about anything else and pulled her up.

Then they walked out together toward the gate.

…

At the gate of Jiayu Manor.

Qin Qianyun, having learned what Third Sister intended to do, rushed straight from the hospital without stopping to warn Qin Jiang.

She had called Qin Jiang many times, and every busy tone reminded her that she had been blocked by Qin Jiang.

Moreover, Qin Jiang’s blocking wasn’t just on the phone—he had effectively given up on her as a person, on everyone in the Qin family.

She finally drove all the way to the gate of Jiayu Manor.

She happened to see Qin Jiang and Yan Liang get into a car together. She had just parked and reached the gate wanting to chase after them, but she was always one step too late.

All she could see was the back of the luxury car driving away.

Was she still one step too late?

Or… unable to become the person Qin Jiang needed.

Again and again, whenever Qin Jiang needed her, she wasn’t there.

With so many missed chances, did it mean their sibling bond was over?

Thinking this, Qin Qianyun refused to accept fate.

She wanted to prove she was a sister who could admit and correct her mistakes, different from the other sisters who had enabled wrongdoing.

She truly repented.

She also sincerely wanted to help Jiang.

Qin Qianyun gripped her car keys and turned to drive off to chase Qin Jiang again.

They must be returning to Liangyue Manor, right?

At worst, she’d wait outside Liangyue Manor—she believed her sincerity could still move Jiang.

She had never known that Qin Jiang was allergic to strawberries, and she had even confused the fact that he was actually lactose intolerant.

All along, the Qin daughters had been taught to take good care of Qin Yun.

They firmly believed that because Qin Jiang, as a younger brother—and even a twin of Brother Yun—his likes, habits, and even allergies would be exactly the same.

At the end of the day, they didn’t think Qin Jiang was that important.

They didn’t feel the need to specially remember his preferences or health conditions.

Because he wasn’t important, they neglected him.

So when Qin Jiang told her he was lactose intolerant, Qin Qianyun finally felt as if the sky had fallen…

It turned out she had never been a competent sister.

Even as she repented, her habit of not taking Qin Jiang seriously had once more stepped on his toes.

Qin Qianyun turned and prepared to drive in pursuit.

She happened to run into Qin Xiangyun supporting Eldest Sister, with Qin Yun following behind them.

Qin Xiangyun was the first to see her. “Fifth Sister, why are you only just arriving?”

Qin Qianyun looked over and in the next moment her expression turned grave. “Third Sister, Brother Jiang didn’t steal Mother’s necklace—I cleaned the safe just yesterday, and yet you don’t believe me?”

She didn’t know what had happened inside, but clearing Brother Jiang’s name was the fundamental reason she stopped.

“Also, Eldest Sister, you ungrateful wolf—what are you playing weak for?”

“Are you here to look for Brother Jiang as well?”

“What is it now… last time you didn’t manage to kill Brother Jiang and me, and now you come back to try again?”

After being backstabbed by Eldest Sister, Qin Qianyun also wanted to move out of the Qin family, but because their mother was ill and had no one to care for her, she stayed for the time being.

But when it came to Qin Moyun, even if she returned home to fetch something, she would go out of her way to avoid Qin Qianyun.

She felt guilty toward the Fifth Sister… deep in her heart!

And toward Qin Jiang as well!!

“What are you all talking about? I don’t understand a thing!”

“Alright, we’re all family—let’s go home and talk about it. I’ve already notified Dad to return to the country. With something this big, the head of the household should make the judgment!”

Qin Xiangyun had always been caring toward the Fifth Sister, and her words carried some weight with Qin Qianyun.

“Alright, Fifth Sister, I know about Yun’s lies. Arguing in public only harms the Qin family’s reputation.”

“Let’s go home—whatever needs to be said, Dad will give each of us a reasonable explanation, okay?”

At that moment, Mr. Qin had indeed landed in Jing City and was heading toward the Qin family villa…

Under Qin Xiangyun’s mediation, the Qin sisters temporarily lost that tense, confrontational atmosphere.

Qin Qianyun drove back to the Qin house.

Both cars stopped at a traffic light at an intersection just before reaching the Qin family villa.

Suddenly, not far away there was a rumbling explosion, black smoke shot into the sky like a black dragon soaring.

“Whose house is that? So unlucky!”

“Judging by that, it’s probably a gas canister explosion—fire engines will go put it out…”

Qin Moyun, pale, was still lost in her own world. Qin Xiangyun tried to ease the mood, but sitting in the passenger seat she couldn’t help but glance toward the black smoke!

“No, Third Sister… isn’t that direction toward our house?”

“By estimate of distance… the unlucky one seems to be our house!!”

The Qin family in the car fell silent for a second.

The next moment, Qin Qianyun slammed the accelerator and sped off…

In the car behind, Mr. Qin also sat up suspiciously and looked up. “Whose house is so unlucky…”

“…Master, that seems to be… our house?”

Mr. Qin was alarmed!!!
