Chapter 61: Qin Yun Breaks Down! Sweep Away Morality, Be Himself Again!

“Young Mistress Yan, you may have some misunderstanding about me.”

“I am Qin Jiang’s fourth sister. Our family education is quite strict, which is why I had him voluntarily quit school.”

“After all, with a habit of groping and stealing — he might be stealing just things now, but who knows what he’d steal later.”

“I’m doing this for Qin Jiang’s own good, not to single him out…”

“Moreover, technically we’re relatives — I hope you’ll be more forgiving with me.”

Qin Shuyun was doing her best to rein in her old arrogance and kept the most respectful posture in front of Yan Liang.

According to age, she was still Yan Liang’s “elder”. She ought to be addressed as Big Sister.

She started to imagine being the “big sister” of Yan Liang, the Young Mistress of the capital’s top financial clan, the Yan Group — what an incredible status!

She would enjoy the highest status in her social circles from then on.

However, Qin Shuyun had not entirely lost her senses.

The woman before her looked imperiously proud and stunningly beautiful in a red dress that made her radiance harshly dazzling.

When she appeared, everything around seemed to lose its luster instantly.

So such a person really existed — blessed by the gods with a perfectly modeled figure and face.

If Qin Jiang… actually married into the Yan family on behalf of Qin Yun and on the wedding night not just survived Yan Liang but was eaten clean by her…

Then Qin Jiang had gotten lucky all thanks to Qin Yun.

If that was the case, how could Qin Jiang still dare to keep claiming Qin Yun’s honors?

Yan Liang’s ten‑centimeter rose‑colored heels and straps circled her lovely legs, her skin and red silk intertwined with an indescribable allure.

But it also made her aura overwhelmingly oppressive.

“You think you deserve to look me in the eye and speak to me?”

A mocking smile spread across Yan Liang’s mouth.

But only those who knew her understood that a storm of blood and wind was quietly unfolding.

Zhou Ning, standing behind Yan Liang, shrugged and mentally noted he should bring a sweater to work tomorrow.

Of course, the moment Yan Liang’s cold, haughty gaze swept over, he strode forward, grabbed Qin Shuyun’s head with his hand and pushed it down…

“Director Qin, have you soaked your brain so long in Qin Financial’s little cesspool that it’s now full of shit?”

“How dare you stand upright and show no respect before Ms. Liang? You don’t even know the most basic social etiquette — juniors and less capable seniors must show deference before industry bigshots and talented newcomers… do you not understand this rule?”

Zhou Ning yanked Qin Shuyun’s hair, taking advantage of the leverage to give a fierce yank.

“Ah!!”

“My hair!! You’re just an assistant who’ll never make it big! I’m one of Qin Financial’s directors! You don’t have the right to lecture me!”

Qin Shuyun couldn’t help screaming. She was a female director of a major firm. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?

An assistant dared to roughly pull her hair.

It nearly tore her scalp off too. It felt as if the crown of her head was being peeled open.

“Whether you have the right or not isn’t for you to decide. Acting up in front of Ms. Liang… do you think you have nine lives?”

Even with nine lives, Yan Group’s power could flay her alive.

“Who allowed this woman to come in through her connections?”

“Logistics, give me an explanation at once — I don’t care where you picked up this ugly freak, send her away now!“

“If you end up frightening Ms. Liang as a result…I don’t think any of you can bear the consequences!”

Principal Cheng Peng saw that Qin Shuyun still dared to stare and insult the chief aide by Ms. Liang’s side…

In an instant, the glamor of this so‑called “talented screenwriter‑director” who had been disfigured was dispelled.

Truly wise people wouldn’t — and wouldn’t dare to — offend Yan Liang.

Qin Shuyun’s actions had stepped straight on a landmine.

Zhou Ning had the most ordinary face — almost no one could pick him out of a crowd.

Yet it was precisely such a low‑profile operative who had been able to stay by Miss Yan’s side for five years.

It proved he was no kind soul.

Now that Qin Shuyun had angrily insulted Zhou Ning, the principal felt like lighting a candle for her in his heart…This woman was doomed.

Qin Shuyun froze when she saw the principal coming to personally escort her away!!

“Principal Cheng, Qin Financial has cooperative ties with Huajing University’s Finance Department…” Qin Shuyun tried to threaten.

Qin Financial annually recruited from Huajing University. After all, Qin Financial ranked among the industry’s top three leaders.

Huajing University would naturally roll out the red carpet for them.

It was a win‑win situation.

But Qin Shuyun was using that mutually beneficial cooperation as leverage to threaten him.

Well…that certainly wasn’t enough to make him side with her instead!

“Oh, I don’t care what cooperation you claim — if you offend Ms. Liang, you’re out!” Principal Cheng Peng firmly stated his position.

Wasn’t it obvious whose authority was higher here?

Who would rather side with an ordinary firm and offend a yandere heiress to the biggest and most influential family in the entire city?

“Fine, I don’t mind leaving.”

“But since the principal is here, then let’s talk about school. Qin Jiang and Qin Yun are both my brothers. If they commit wrongs outside, isn’t it my duty to educate and guide them as well?”

“I demand Qin Jiang admit his mistake and leave with me — that’s not too much to ask, is it?”

Qin Shuyun spoke as if it were only natural.

She had noticed that this yandere Young Mistress seemed to have some interest in Qin Jiang.

Previously, after Qin Yun’s fate was listed among those to be married into the Yan family for a marriage of propitiation, she had never seen the Young Mistress personally come to look at him.

But now, Qin Jiang had that privilege.

And in just two days, had Yan Liang already gotten addicted?

Or had Qin Jiang already figured her out completely?

“So noisy.”

Yan Liang’s tone was extremely calm, yet one could faintly hear an innate authoritativeness in her voice.

Qin Shuyun’s heart trembled.

The next second, Zhou Ning deftly pulled out a large roll of black tape from his pocket.

He pressed the black mask tightly over Qin Shuyun’s mouth and used the tape to seal it firmly.

Zhou Ning was so proud. This was one of his most seemingly harmless, but almost fatal moves.

This used to be a trick he used exclusively on Qin Jiang.

Back when Qin Jiang was first brought back to Liangyue Manor, he was like an eel — slippery and always finding ways to escape.

Once he even secretly dug a tunnel three meters down.

Back then, Zhou Ning secretly gave the boy a thumbs up. With that persistence, even if you threw him into the world’s most secure prison, he’d probably fly out.

Indeed, Qin Jiang had made a mess out of Liangyue Manor like Sun Wukong had made a mess of heaven in the book, Journey to the West.

Sadly, no matter how much trouble he made, he couldn’t escape Young Mistress Yan Liang’s palm.

As Ms. Liang’s most capable aide, whenever Zhou Ning caught Qin Jiang trying to escape, he’d be the first to slap tape over his mouth.

After all, Qin Jiang was someone who was so good with words, he could sell ice to the eskimos.

“Mmm mmm mmm…”

Qin Shuyun’s mask and face were sealed by tape, so she was on the verge of suffocating.

She couldn’t break free from Zhou Ning’s professionally trained strength.

“Shh…”

“Why are you shaking your head like a rattle? Are you enjoying the tape around your face or something?”

“Stand still — don’t be an eyesore to Ms. Liang…”

Yan Liang massaged her forehead: when Butler Xu was around before, Zhou Ning at least held back a bit.

Now…everyone seemed to have gone insane.

She couldn’t be bothered with Qin Shuyun and strode directly toward the source of the dispute in front of everyone…

That was toward Qin Jiang and Qin Yun.

Qin Jiang looked at his yandere wife dressed in a sultry, mature, older sister style. Her wine‑red long curls had a slightly mature charm, yet her face was soft and tender.

Actually… he knew that if he pinched his Yanyan’s cheeks carefully, she still had a tiny bit of baby fat left.

Soft and fluffy, a delightful texture.

“Oh my god, what did the principal mean just now?”

“This is supposedly the rumored ruthless yandere Young Mistress of the Yan Group who murdered family in one night… Yan Liang??“

“They call her Professor Yan because although Yan Liang is only twenty, she was exceptionally gifted and was admitted to the Chinese Academy of Sciences by special approval around age sixteen…”

“Oh my god… Somebody, stop me from fangirling over older women and yandere girlfriends!!”

“Ms. Liang is so impossibly beautiful! The last time I saw such a perfect figure was that fleeting image of Qin Jiang with that ‘ugly rich woman’…“

“Those who have a mature woman complex know there are plenty of benefits to having a lover like that…Professor Yan is still full of charm…”

Qin Jiang immediately reacted to their gushing with insults that landed like a brick — fast, precise, and ruthless!

“What the hell are you into!”

“Professor Yan is someone you can covet? You pervert who has turned into a rebel student who goes after your teacher!!”

Song Jie lowered his gaze and tried hard not to laugh. Brother Jiang…others are just vocalizing their wistful thinking…

But you are exactly that rebel student who goes after your teacher!!

As Qin Jiang hurled insults, Yan Liang had already come up behind him…

“Well done, Student Qin.”

“Want a reward? Come to my office later to collect it?”

Qin Jiang felt a trace of excitement.

He almost transformed into a starving wolf.

Just short of howling, ahwooo!

Professor Yan — he’s only been eighteen for two years, he really shouldn’t~~

Yan Liang deliberately lowered her voice, almost whispering that heartwarming “Student Qin” in his ear.

Wasn’t that unmistakably…?

But no matter how intense the temptation, Qin Jiang had to compose himself.

Before his yandere wife voluntarily announced anything, he wanted any revelation or secrecy about his relationship with Yan Liang to be led by her.

His current life principle: the wife is supreme.

“Ahem, Qin Jiang, please rein in your um… sense of justice,” The principal, playing peacemaker, advised him.

Seeing the top financial heiress Ms. Liang stare indifferently at him, he hurriedly added, “That student was spouting nonsense — deduct twenty credits!”

Qin Yun’s already bruised face paled again and he lay weakly over the desk.

Watching the figures of the principal and Yan Liang walking together…

He couldn’t help but lift his head to look at that dazzling, curvaceous, tempting red dress silhouette…

This… this was Yan Liang?

Wasn’t the feral, cruel little Yan family monster usually fierce and cold to everyone?

But he had just keenly sensed… Miss Yan’s gaze toward Qin Jiang was as intense as strands of red thread.

Could it be that he had handed a one‑step‑to‑the-top opportunity to Qin Jiang for free?

No… Qin Yun didn’t want to believe that. He would lose his mind if that was the case.

In the Qin household, since Qin Jiang returned four years ago, he’d been brazenly seizing items that should have been split with Qin Jiang.

He took it all for granted.

In his eyes, Qin Jiang was merely a beggar who came to the Qin family.

Giving him $300 a month for living expenses was already indulgence.

Back when he lived with his adoptive parents in a poor urban village slum, $100 a month was more than enough for him, right?

So Qin Jiang should be grateful for his “generosity.”

He raised his eyes and noticed that the yandere financial heiress Yan Liang had glanced at him faintly.

Qin Yun quickly seized the chance, lifted his bruised face, and weakly endured the pain, begging for favor, “Yan, we meet again…”

“I’m sorry that you have to see me like this, but Qin Jiang hasn’t any malice toward me. He just… just…”

Qin Yun looked as if he’d shatter at any moment.

The college students standing around had eyes that could see what was going on and mouths to say what they were thinking. “Qin Jiang must have violent tendencies — just because he stole his younger brother’s scientific results and replicated it exactly, he thinks he can snatch away his brother’s abilities as well?”

“Hey… why do I feel like Professor Yan has been staring at Qin Jiang?”

“That look is like she wants to… dismantle him and swallow him whole!”

“This is clearly a predator’s stirring upon seeing a plump little lamb.”

“My instincts tell me, that look’s got a hint of lechery — definitely not innocent…“

“I mean, weren’t Qin Jiang and Qin Yun supposed to be twins? How are they so different?”

“Especially now, Qin Jiang just needs a bit of grooming to be effortlessly handsome! As for Qin Yun… never mind, I’m being harsh…“

“Wow, did you hear that?”

“Qin Yun seems to have private ties with our Professor Yan — he even said ‘we meet again.’”

“He didn’t sign up for last time’s anatomy elective either. But with Miss Yan’s background and social circles… does Qin Yun even deserve to know her?“

Similar comments went on and on.

They say college students are natural gossipers.

This is certainly true.

Some onlookers even managed to ship people they gossiped about…

“Help! Why does Professor Yan’s figure and aura… resemble that rich woman keeping Qin Jiang from that video?”

Every young, sunny man within a mile’s radius was shaken.

“No… this is impossible!!”

“I can accept Qin Jiang suddenly making a fortune, but I won’t accept him personally serving Professor Yan’s earthly delights~~”

Song Jie, well aware of the truth, was about to die from having to suppress his emotions. After all, he could barely believe it himself.

The truth was, Qin Jiang had gotten super rich, and he had a noona yandere heiress who found new ways to torment him every night!

Meanwhile, in the face of Qin Yun’s simping remarks, Yan Liang lightly arched an eyebrow. “Meet again?”

“Indeed — again I see you being pathetic!”

“Are you a masochist? I’m afraid Student Qin will slap you until you enjoy it and then you’ll start licking his hand…”

Although Yan Liang was mocking him, her gaze had already landed on the two nearly identical ‘scientific inventions’ on the table.

A small plastic box containing what looked to be a compact power supply and a coiled, semi‑hidden plug…

Put together, it was actually quite ordinary.

This was… a simple power bank.

In other words, it was a source of electricity that could charge devices where no power sockets were available.

That counted as a small scientific invention.

But research on energy storage and power conversion already existed— Qin Jiang’s idea stood on the shoulders of giants.

Moreover, the concept was especially rough and draft-like!

But Yan Liang only pondered briefly and did not disrupt Qin Jiang’s rhythm.

Hmm… she was already trying to give Qin Jiang trust.

But for now, it seemed like she would only place this trust in his talent…

Yan Liang’s half‑mocking words were indeed sharp and cutting.

Qin Yun looked embarrassed, though with his bruised face, no one could tell how mortified he truly was.

“Professor Yan, this is called a power bank!”

“It satisfies everyone’s portability needs while also being able to connect to portable Wi‑Fi,” Qin Jiang explained earnestly. According to the timeline, in his previous life he had died a few years later, but he had also liked following business trends.

At this time power banks would sweep in like a tornado — a prime moment for its thriving development.

He had seen this wave of hot crops sprout and naturally wanted to harvest them.

Money is only an asset when it helps you make more money.

What Qin Jiang wanted was to speed up and ride the trend.

Making piles of money would not be a problem.

Qin Yun had already read the proposal, so now he stared at Qin Jiang in shock as if to say: you even stole my lines?* *You must be really desperate for money…

“Brother Qin Jiang, why are you saying contents that are in my proposal?”

“Professor Yan, I have a complete plan for the power bank. The timeline and the whole concept are clearly outlined in my proposal.”

“Brother Qin Jiang might have just thought it was fun. Even if he stole my results, I wouldn’t make an issue of it…”

Qin Yun bit his lip with tears in his eyes, looking as if stabbed in the back by his brother and suffering a great grievance, yet he still tried to appear strong.

He did look rather pitiful.

However, Yan Liang felt nauseated.

She preferred someone like Qin Jiang who was ‘energetic’ and ‘vibrant’…

Qin Jiang, who often had to work part time to make enough money, had a physique that was powerful and well‑toned.

In short, very strong and manly.

A guaranteed lady killer.

As for Qin Yun… his sex appeal was cranked down to nil.

That Bai Chuchu had to be really thirsty. Yan Liang couldn’t believe Bai Chuchu was attracted to someone like this.

“I’ll be damned — what a heartless saint!”

“You say this plan is yours, so it’s yours?”

“Then call out to it and see if it answers you!”

Qin Yun pleaded, “Brother Qin Jiang, please don’t deliberately make things hard for me…”

The simping face of grievance.

Qin Jiang, with a frosty face, snapped back, “Don’t think calling me ‘brother’ will make me lick your boots for you.”

“Of course, don’t be too discouraged — you still have only one road left: the road to ruin.”

Qin Jiang flashed a wildly gleeful smile. He had a new motto: Sweep away morality, be yourself again!

Zhou Ning and Song Jie were in shock.

No, the doctors never said the Young Mistress’s madness could be transmitted through sex——

The entire lecture hall of students gasped. This guy was…truly…out of his mind!

His mental state was so crazy!!
