Chapter 58: Revealing The Top Actress Fourth Sister’s Disfigured Face

Huajing University.

The National University Student Scientific Research Competition was setting up the venue. This regional contest happened to be at Huajing University, so Huajing University was paying special attention and had specially pre-selected research talents on campus.

The competition area was full of talent.

There were genius youths from various schools — all favored by fate, and naturally a bit arrogant.

Qin Yun stood in the crowd. After his parents brought him home yesterday he had his wounds treated, and some of the bruises should have faded.

But at this moment his face looked like a multicolored palette.

Anyone with eyes could see Qin Yun had been beaten up.

And the one who dared beat Qin Yun was probably none other than Qin Jiang, who had just latched onto a rich woman and risen in status.

The Qin family also attached great importance to this competition.

After all, they were united in anger. Qin Jiang had stolen Yun’s research results, but since they couldn’t punish him at home, they’d publicly expose him at this venue and ruin his reputation.

They could not let him continue to take Qin Yun’s labor and enjoy the satisfaction of claiming it as his own.

Qin Jiang was a thief — unworthy!

And had no right!!

Qin Jiang was wearing comfortable casual clothes today, a baseball cap pulled low as he walked into the crowd.

With one hand in his pocket, where a flash drive lay.

Just as he was about to enter the crowd, a figure suddenly blocked his way.

Qin Jiang raised an eyebrow, unsurprised.

It was the Qin family’s fourth sister, Qin Shuyun, once a dominating top actress in the entertainment circle.

At this moment, Qin Shuyun still wore a thick black mask and deliberately wrapped herself in a heavy coat, as if afraid someone would recognize her as the “has-been top actress.”

Qin Jiang turned away with disgust, about to stride past her.

“Qin Jiang, stop right there!”

“Don’t think you can solve anything by running away — how could you be so cruel to extort $600,000 in car damages from Bai Chuchu?”

“Are you still my brother? You were never this mercenary before. Now you’ve climbed up and shown your true colors?”

“I’ll tell you, we won’t pay that money, and… since you think that sports car is devalued, just give it to Yun to drive.”

“Our parents said his car was totaled — as his brother, give him the old car. It might be a bit unfair to Yun, but at least it’s a car he can make do with.“

Qin Shuyun said this as if it were only natural.

Years of taking from Qin Jiang without limits had already widened her appetite.

It wasn’t like this when Qin Jiang had nothing.

But now that Qin Jiang had married into the Yan family, he was now enjoying the wealthy life that should have belonged to Qin Yun.

She only wanted Qin Jiang to hand over a used supercar as depreciation to Qin Yun.

Surely he wouldn’t be that stingy.

That car was probably a drop in the ocean for the Yans.

Qin Jiang was so amused by Qin Shuyun’s train of thought that he burst out laughing.

“Qin Shuyun, did the wire rope that scarred your face back then also strangle your brain?”

“Are you okay? Are you even speaking in a language I understand? When you put those sentences together I can’t understand a word.“

Qin Jiang laughed, his mocking gaze stabbing at Qin Shuyun’s fragile heart.

In the Qin family, her disfigurement had always been a taboo.

It was the lifelong hidden pain of her womanhood.

And now, Qin Jiang had intentionally mentioned her disfigured face more than once.

He did it on purpose to prod her wounds.

“Also, who told you I wanted $600,000 for depreciation?”

“Qin Shuyun, you’re really stupid!”

“I’ll tell you the truth: I only asked Bai Chuchu for $200,00. Did Qin Yun tell you it was $600,000?”

“Tsk tsk, this kid’s playing middleman and pocketing the difference?”

“Then just give me $600,000 directly. I’m easy to talk to, not picky about who gives me the money~”

Qin Jiang sneered lightly with a smile on his lips but not in his eyes.

“Qin Jiang, stop sowing discord!”

“Yun would never lie; you, on the other hand… you’re a thief — why should I trust you?”

Qin Shuyun’s face darkened, but a seed of doubt nevertheless planted itself in her heart.

According to Qin Yun’s account, Bai Chuchu had only knocked on the car window. No matter how heartless Qin Jiang was, extorting $600,000 that Bai Chuchu couldn’t possibly afford seemed unlikely.

But… how could Yun possibly lie to her?

At that moment, Bai Chuchu walked into the venue.

She still wore a white dress, but her face was expressionless and she looked utterly haggard…

The humiliation in the lab had dealt her a heavy blow — she was the campus beauty who cared most about her image and was proud of it, with many admirers around her.

But now, despite her desperate pleas to classmates not to spread the story of her embarrassment…

She could rely on her beauty to make many sycophants willingly keep the secret, and everyone was proud of knowing this secret about the campus beauty, so they wouldn’t easily reveal it.

After all, the title of campus beauty might once have been out of reach for them, but that might not always be the case.

But they forgot one stray fish left in the net.

That was — Song Jie.

Song Jie cackled inwardly. Nobody expected that of him, right?

He didn’t fall for Bai Chuchu’s tricks at all.

That very night, Song Jie registered seventy or eighty accounts and bombarded forums with the big news “campus beauty was scared and peed herself in the lab.”

Discussions about Bai Chuchu exploded online overnight.

Moreover, the campus beauty of Huajing University was also the face of the school. Such a scandal spread far and wide.

Soon many universities were discussing the gossip.

Bai Chuchu couldn’t bear the humiliation of her pride being crushed and nearly went to jump off a building.

But she quickly came to her senses.

Yan Liang… this must be Aunt Yan Liang’s doing.

She was jealous that Bai Chuchu had captured Qin Jiang’s heart, so she deliberately made her appear ridiculous.

Bai Chuchu knew her place — she couldn’t compare to Aunt Yan Liang in anything.

But the one thing she could win with was that Qin Jiang’s heart was with her.

Something Yan Liang would never obtain in her lifetime.

Bai Chuchu pulled herself together — this time… she would win back Qin Jiang’s heart, the one she had once discarded like trash.

Qianqian was right: men never forget their first love.

Besides, she was his unattainable first love.

She deliberately dressed to look worn and tired at the competition venue — both at Qin Yun’s request and for her own scheme.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered she saw Qin Jiang actually waving at her.

Bai Chuchu could hardly believe it and suppressed the delight in her heart.

On the outside, she kept a cool, aloof look as she looked over.

To her, it was just Qin Jiang old way of behaving like a little doggy around her again.

She walked toward him with her head held high.

Enjoying the surprised gazes of those around her.

Of course her expression was also fragile, troubled, and pitiable.

“Jiang… are you looking for me?”

Bai Chuchu couldn’t keep her composure after all.

The fact that Qin Jiang was still pining after her like a dog despite becoming so handsome was enough to make her earn back whatever reputation she had lost previously as campus beauty.

“The $200,000 for my car — have you prepared it?” Qin Jiang asked deliberately.

Bai Chuchu had already spotted Qin Shuyun nearby, though she wasn’t sure whether Qin Shuyun knew she had asked Qin Yun for $500,000.

But out of caution she deliberately said, “Wasn’t it $500,000?”

“Yun said that in view of how I used to take good care of him… he’d handle it for me.”

Qin Shuyun’s gasped inwardly. She stared at Bai Chuchu in disbelief as if meeting her for the first time.

She had always thought Bai Chuchu was kind, gentle, and pure.

But now she found Bai Chuchu extremely unfamiliar.

Even… her younger brother Qin Yun, who had always been devoted to her, seemed not so simple.

“Oh, you’re asking Qin Yun for $500,000?”

“Quite an appetite.”

Qin Jiang laughed, then looked at Qin Shuyun. “So, Director Qin, tell me now. Where did your hellish quotation of $600,000 come from?”

“How is it that I, the one being compensated, has no idea about it?”

Qin Shuyun fell silent, not inclined to blame Qin Yun.

Instead she couldn’t help resenting that Bai Chuchu would dare deceive Qin Yun’s feelings. Qin Yun must be short on money himself and was forced to lie for her, right?

Guilt gnawed at her, and Qin Jiang’s smug expression made her even angrier. “Qin Jiang, Yun must have his reasons.”

“I believe him.”

“But you, repeatedly opposing Yun and Bai Chuchu — I want you to apologize to them immediately.”

“Or else…”

Qin Shuyun threatened out of habit — in the past, whenever she put on that face Qin Jiang would immediately grovel and flatter her.

“Or else what?”

Qin Jiang curled his lips, smiling wickedly.

Qin Shuyun’s lips trembled: the young man before her had changed so much!

As if he were covered in thorns!

And these thorns were aimed only at his own family — utterly hateful.

“Then don’t expect me to acknowledge you as my brother anymore!”

Qin Shuyun sneered coldly. This trick always worked on Qin Jiang, and she wanted to see how he’d keep up his bluff.

“Oh, I thought you were going big with this.”

“So this is it??”

“How boring.”

“How about I play big with you instead!”

“Qin Shuyun… look at the camera!!”

“Camera crew, get ready — come film the retiring top actress, Qin Shuyun! Big star, a former movie queen, now at Huajing University! Hurry hurry… she’s about to sign autographs~~”

Qin Jiang yelled at the top of his lungs.

Everyone in the venue turned to look.

The camera crew, who had been arranged by Qin Jiang supposedly for the student council, immediately captured it on film.

The next moment, Qin Jiang quickly yanked off Qin Shuyun’s mask…

Qin Shuyun, aren’t you the one who cares most about that ruined face of yours?

The more scared you are, the more liberated I feel!!
