“You…you’d really be that kind?”
In the past, Qin Jiang really was like a dog—whenever she called, he’d follow immediately.
If she told him to go east, he would never dare go west.
But now, Qin Jiang had clearly changed.
“Oh, you prefer me to be unkind? Then forget it.” Qin Jiang shrugged, his indifferent attitude making Qin Qianyun grind her teeth.
She could only soften her tone, “Fine, I’ll give you the $200,000.”
“Qin Jiang, don’t try any tricks on me.”
She did feel guilty for letting Qin Jiang take so many falls, but once she thought that Qin Yun’s illness was caused by Qin Jiang, she felt justified in ordering him to give blood.
With Mr. Lei’s guarantee, Qin Jiang wasn’t expelled for the time being, and the members of the school committee went their way.
When Director Xu passed by Qin Jiang, he patted his shoulder and said earnestly, “Kid, your skills had better be as outrageous as you brag.”
“If you really take the top three at the National College Student Research Competition, I’ll get you a ten-million-level research project to work under a big shot from our school.”
Xu Rongguang’s connections were impressive.
His judgment was sharp. Whether in his past life or now, Qin Jiang knew that he appreciated talented young people and was willing to promote and pave the way for them.
In his words: People age, and as a teacher, his responsibility was to hand a broader future to the students.
After Director Xu left, Qin Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.
He then texted Song Jie: [Son, are you ready?]
Song Jie: [Don’t worry, foster father, you can trust me~ Absolutely authentic, totally pure.]
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Qin Jiang’s eyes. He stood up, and Song Jie was already waiting at the door. Song Jie tossed a car key at him and Qin Jiang caught it easily.
He glanced at the stunned Qin Qianyun and impatiently urged, “Let’s go.”
The young man’s tone was irritable and utterly impatient.
Qin Qianyun frowned. She did feel guilty toward Qin Jiang, but did he have to treat her so rudely?
After all, she was his fifth sister!
At this moment, everyone’s attention was drawn to the car key in Qin Jiang’s hand.
“Oh my! Is that the key for the supercar, Koenigsegg One:1? So cool — the design and texture of this key are so good, it looks real.”
“Where did you get it? Give me the link so I can pick up girls~“
“Haha, Qin Jiang’s show-off streak really won’t die—that key’s probably just a lighter. He’s putting in so much effort just to look good in front of the campus beauty.”
“Qin Jiang, you used this stunt yesterday. Today, you don’t have enough money to rent a fake car, so you’ve switched to this lighter instead. You really won’t give up trying to win Chuchu’s favor.”
Li Hao’s buddies sneered in unison.
Yu Qian saw it and gave Qin Jiang a disdainful glance. “I’m telling you, Qin Jiang, people should know their place.”
“Asking Chuchu for $200,000 in damages to a fake luxury car you rented? If I gave you $200 you’d probably need to return me some change.”
“If you’re poor, you’re poor. There’s no point in trying to act rich.”
Song Jie listened to the chatter and cursed them silently. These people were too shortsighted for their own good.
His brother had hooked up with a super rich woman!!
His value had skyrocketed.
“Heh, you blind lot—this is a real car key. A supercar worth millions, it’s my Brother Jiang’s new ride!”
Song Jie proudly lifted his chin. The Yan family’s efficiency was top-notch. Last night he moved into a big villa and got two ten-million-level supercars.
After all, it was his brother’s wife’s family’s business.
He was still relatively conservative in what he took.
But!! Two supercars worth tens of millions each was something he’d never be able to afford even if he worked till he died.
It was true after all, that if you didn’t have it when you were born, you can forget about having it in your lifetime.
No wonder they say the greatest divide between people is—amniotic fluid!
Song Jie looked cocky, a far cry from his pathetic self a few days ago—he might as well have had “My brother’s the best” stamped on his forehead.
However, laughter and ridicule came quickly.
“Hahaha, Song Jie really is Qin Jiang’s little sidekick—everyone knows you two are like two peas in a pod. You’re both just as crazy as each other.”
“Song Jie, Qin Jiang is the campus beauty Bai Chuchu’s bootlicker, and you’re Qin Jiang’s bootlicker—who would believe a bootlicker of a bootlicker?”
Zhao Helin, Li Hao’s good buddy, already disliked Qin Jiang, but he couldn’t make a scene in front of the school leaders.
He might get punished.
Now that the leaders were gone, he naturally wouldn’t pass up the chance to pick a fight.
“Zhao Helin, I don’t care if you believe it or not.”
Qin Jiang wasn’t interested in small fry. He twirled the keyring on his fingertip and strode out of the meeting room with a flippant attitude.
He paused as he passed Bai Chuchu.
Bai Chuchu’s face was pale. She still couldn’t believe Qin Jiang actually kicked her earlier on the rooftop.
All her life, men had treated her with care.
She had never suffered such humiliation.
But now she was more curious… was the key in Qin Jiang’s hand real?
“Bai Chuchu, tomorrow is the final deadline.”
“If the money doesn’t arrive by then, I’ll print your hotel records with Qin Yun and post them on the school’s bulletin board.”
Qin Jiang lowered his eyes and spoke softly, but Bai Chuchu and Qin Qianyun following behind him heard him clearly.
Qin Qianyun frowned. She also knew a little about Bai Chuchu’s relationship with Qin Yun.
Before the Bai family fell from grace, the two had been childhood sweethearts of sorts.
However, what made her suspicious was this.
Qin Yun’s health was so poor—constantly on the brink and needing surgery—how could he have been doing that kind of thing with Bai Chuchu?
There’s definitely something fishy going on here.
“You…you…Qin Jiang, you must have misunderstood me and Qin Yun.”
Bai Chuchu was flustered—Qin Jiang’s attitude toward her was too ambiguous. Had he really discovered her relationship with Qin Yun?
But Qin Jiang was already walking away briskly.
On the first floor of the administration building.
A ridiculously flashy Koenigsegg One:1 was parked at the main entrance. Many students and teachers passing by couldn’t help but be drawn to it, snapping photos like crazy.
“Whose supercar is this? Why is it parked here—so handsome… I just Googled it, it’s worth millions—their family must be filthy rich to afford this!”
“Could it be Qin Jiang’s? I heard the guy who drove the Bugatti La Voiture Noire to the school to show off yesterday was Bai Chuchu’s bootlicker Qin Jiang. But because he had merely rented it, today he could only prance into school on foot.”
“Qin Jiang? That penniless young master the Qin family picked up a few years ago? Come on… the Qin family probably couldn’t even afford such a lavish supercar. And even if they could, they’d give it to Young Master Qin Yun first. Qin Jiang wouldn’t even be worthy to touch it.”
Passersby were all gossiping.
Then a figure stepped slowly out of the administration building. The youth walked against the light, the shadow carving his brow into sharp relief—pale skin, thin lips, and a pair of bottomless black eyes cold as stars.
Even a simple white shirt gave him an elegant, noble, almost ascetic aura.
He held the car key and pressed it casually.
The supercar emitted a “beep” unlocking sound, and the onlookers couldn’t help but get excited.
The owner of a top-level supercar turned out to be so handsome?
This was less likely than winning the lottery!
Zhao Helin and the others who had followed Qin Jiang to mock him found themselves frozen in place.
“This…how is this possible?”
“Qin Jiang, did you take out a loan to rent this? You’re a poor dog—how could you possibly drive a top-level supercar?” Zhao Helin’s voice pierced through.
Now the gawking crowd couldn’t stay calm.
“What? This aloof, noble-looking handsome guy is Qin Jiang??”
“We haven’t seen him in a few days and he looks like that?! How?! Did Qin Jiang get plastic surgery?”
“Those acne scars, pits and permanent dark circles—how are they all gone today?“
“Yesterday he drove a Bugatti La Voiture Noire, today a Koenigsegg One:1—he might be our school’s hidden rich kid…”
Watching Qin Jiang skillfully open the door and sit into the supercar, Qin Qianyun’s face soured.
The Qin family was relatively well-off, but even their eldest sister, the CEO of Qin Financial, wouldn’t splurge so much on a top-level supercar.
Qin Jiang always used the Qin family’s worst items—Qin Yun even had a Bentley their five sisters pooled money for, while Qin Jiang didn’t even have a simple vehicle.
But now he was driving a supercar that even she couldn’t help envying.
Such a huge contrast left Qin Qianyun utterly humiliated.
She stepped forward, intending to snatch the car key from Qin Jiang.
“Qin Jiang, do you even have a driver’s license?”
“As your fifth sister, for your safety, I’ll drive this car!”
Qin Jiang had long anticipated this move and tossed the car key to Song Jie at his side.
“Qin Qianyun, I have a license and this car is mine—stop coveting it and have some shame.”
Since returning to the Qin family, anything of his that Qin Qianyun took under various pretexts was never returned.
Seeing that cheap attitude from Qin Qianyun, he knew she was trying to take something from him again.
And now, she was exposed publicly.
Qin Qianyun was furious but could only hold it in.
“Qin Jiang, stop being so conceited—I was just afraid you’d run off halfway.”
“Who would fall for someone who sells himself for a car?”
Everyone suddenly realized: tsk tsk, so Qin Jiang must’ve taken this car from some rich cougar.
What a pity—he was a decent young man, so young yet already seeing through society’s cruelty and choosing the shortcut of being taken care of for decades.
Who knew which ugly old woman was keeping him!
Bai Chuchu stood at the administration entrance, watching Qin Jiang get into the Koenigsegg One:1.
She completely broke down this time.
Qin Jiang hadn’t rented the car—he was actually driving a real supercar!
So, had he won over Aunt Yan Liang?
“Chuchu, Qin Jiang is going with Qin Qianyun to the hospital to donate blood for Qin Yun. See… no matter how arrogant he is now, won’t he still have to be Qin Yun’s blood bag?”
“What does that prove? It proves Qin Jiang still cares about the Qin family—he will still help to steal top-secret files from the Yan family and give the Qin family a chance to rise higher.”
“In the future, your Qin Yun will be the Qin family’s heir. Won’t these supercars all be yours someday? Just think of Qin Jiang as borrowing your supercar to play with for now…”
Yu Qian saw Bai Chuchu’s sour expression and habitually offered comfort.
But her gaze stayed fixed in the direction Qin Jiang drove away.
Bai Chuchu, you can keep clinging to that sickly boyfriend of yours.
I’m gonna go after Qin Jiang myself!!
