Chapter 66: Pure Image Collapses! Bai Chuchu Is No Longer Clean

“President Qin, our bet still stands—I believe your employees are all looking forward to your performance.”

Qin Jiang heartlessly killed Qin Moyun with his words: making a well-respected and dignified CEO dance such a scanty and vulgar dance. What crushed her most was the collapse of the authority she’d built in front of her employees.

It was utterly humiliating.

Qin Moyun was unwilling, so she looked at Qin Jiang, trying to move him with the affection of a biological elder sister so he would willingly relent.

“Jiang, Eldest Sister knows that many misunderstandings arose between us siblings before.”

“Including the incident where Fourth Sister caused your fracture… I only just learned of it, so I brought her here to personally apologize to you.“

“We understand your grievances against us, but we’re family after all—if I embarrass myself, wouldn’t that also disgrace the entire Qin family and yourself in the process?”

“Alright Jiang, don’t be stubborn—isn’t it enough for me to apologize to you publicly?”

Qin Moyun felt ashamed, but it was true that she had publicly agreed and smeared Qin Jiang while believing Qin Yun.

If she did nothing at all, Qin Financial would be affected instead.

So she thought of this compromise.

Qin Jiang looked at Qin Moyun, recalling when he fell from the ladder at the Qin family home, his whole body broken, lying in the hospital unable to pay the medical bills and close to dying…

At that time, no one from the Qin family visited him.

Let alone someone paying his bills.

He only had $300 a month for living expenses, so he studied hard, entered student competitions, and did manual part-time work to earn money.

He took any job that could earn money.

But because he was supporting his white whale, Bai Chuchu, his savings were actually nearly gone.

Just when he thought he would die in the hospital, the hospital suddenly agreed to perform the operation for free and moved him into the highest-grade ward for recovery.

At that time… he had neither the right nor the strength to refuse.

He was curious who had helped him, but he couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

That time, Qin Jiang lay in the hospital for a full two months.

His consciousness kept drifting in and out.

Even late at night, he always felt a strong suffocating sensation, as if a giant python were tightly coiled around him, its soft, cold touch pressed against his body.

Every inch of his body was stroked by that awkward touch, making his eyelids so heavy he couldn’t open them, yet his consciousness was already screaming!!

That year, he had just returned to the Qin family not long ago. He had just turned eighteen.

He had never encountered such numbing pain, like ants biting at his heart.

He desperately tried to open his eyes, exerting himself until his knuckles trembled uncontrollably…

But the python still had no intention of letting him go. Something lifted his hospital gown, and an extremely cold, soft touch landed on his chest, pectorals, abdomen…

His wounds were still healing at that point in time. That “snake” seemed sentient and even knew to avoid his wounds, but the feeling of being restrained all over and forced to lie there while being violated was utterly awful.

Qin Jiang went numb.

He felt as if that nightmare had only just begun.

After two months of being in a muddled haze, Qin Jiang wasn’t fully recovered, but once he could walk he fled the hospital as if escaping.

He was convinced that the ward he stayed in was definitely haunted.

Maybe it was even a seductive ghost that sucked the life out of living humans.

No wonder the hospital treated him unconditionally—they were probably preparing to sacrifice him to the ghost.

And now Qin Moyun suddenly brought up the year he had fallen and had his bones broken, claiming it was done by Qin Shuyun?

Huh… indeed, when he climbed the ladder back then he had checked its stability. It was impossible for him to suddenly slip by accident.

So it was Qin Shuyun who did it.

“Oh? Then, President Qin, how do you plan to apologize?”

Qin Jiang didn’t rush to refuse. He wanted to see how far Qin Moyun would go to avoid having to do a pole dance.

“Sorry, little brother Jiang.”

“It was my fault for misunderstanding you. Since we’re family, let’s forget that silly bet we made, okay?”

Qin Moyun stepped forward, still haughty and coldly beautiful. Her apology was posed to a younger brother, affirming her higher seniority.

In her eyes, as long as she said the word “sorry,” Qin Jiang should be sensible enough to forgive her.

However, after she apologized, Qin Jiang still showed no reaction.

“Qin Jiang, at this time, you should say… it’s okay!”

Qin Moyun’s face stiffened. She couldn’t believe Qin Jiang would leave her hanging in front of so many people, making her look like a farcical clown directing her own show.

Qin Shuyun couldn’t stand it either. “Qin Jiang, Eldest Sister personally apologized to you—that counts for a lot already!”

Then she couldn’t help turning to comfort the sad and wronged Qin Yun. Feeling a pang, Qin Shuyun gently patted Qin Yun’s back to soothe him.

“Yun, don’t be sad. Fourth Sister knows you did this because Qin Jiang’s return to the Qin family made you lose your sense of security, right?”

“Sorry, it’s our fault as older sisters for not giving you enough security, which led you to do this foolish thing.”

“Don’t worry, no matter how Huajing University handles this matter, Fourth Sister will protect you.“

Qin Shuyun’s vastly different attitude toward the two younger brothers was truly eye-opening.

Even with a mask, her ugliness couldn’t be hidden at this moment.

Qin Yun looked up. His eyes trembled, and a crystal-clear tear slid down his cheek…

He looked pitiful and wronged.

For a moment, Qin Shuyun felt her heart would break.

Yun was so kind, yet because of Qin Jiang’s return he was driven to do such a conscience-defying foolish thing.

She thought: his inner self must be racked with guilt and torment, right?

Wasn’t such inner punishment enough?

Qin Jiang had made so many mistakes. Yun had only made this one.

Of course she knew whom she should protect and whom to blame.

“Tsk, Qin Shuyun, you only have one face—can’t you use it more sparingly?”

“Who says that because Qin Moyun apologized I must accept it? Can’t I have my own conditions too?”

“If you can’t stand it, gouge out your eyes. If you can’t help but talk, sew your mouth shut—there are always more problems than solutions, idiots always have more flaws!”

“Qin Yun, don’t hide behind women and stay silent—if you want to cry, cry louder. I could even lend you a megaphone for your wailing.”

“So which is it—did your father die or your mother?”

Qin Jiang suddenly let out an angry tirade, and both Qin Shuyun and Qin Yun were stunned into silence.

Hearing Qin Jiang curse their parents, Qin Shuyun’s veins bulged in fury. “Qin Jiang, our parents are also your parents—how can you curse your own parents as dead?”

“Do you even understand filial piety?”

“Yun is already crying in regret, Eldest Sister has apologized… Do you expect us to kowtow to you?”

“Qin Jiang, let me remind you: it’s better to forgive than to be forgiven—don’t push us to the edge!”

Qin Shuyun’s words were both moral blackmail and coercion.

In this country, parents should be respected by their children, and Qin Jiang’s words were clearly sacrilegious.

Someone who discards familial blood ties, heartless and cold… how were they different from animals?

Qin Jiang grinned: “It’s better to forgive than to be forgiven? You can do that yourself! I’m not doing that!”

“Oh wow, I’m so terrified of pushing you to the edge~”

“Don’t wait for me to push you…go jump off a wall yourself!”

Qin Shuyun was so furious her heart tightened again.

As the saying goes, only a cornered dog jumps off a wall—Qin Jiang was calling her a dog!

“Principal, it’s now obvious who stole whose design. Am I still that piece of rat shit you called me?”

Qin Jiang looked at Principal Cheng Peng, openly taunting.

But it also forced the principal to take immediate action to punish Qin Yun.

“Ahem, of course Qin Jiang isn’t rat shit…”

“I lost my temper and misspoke—Qin Jiang, I apologize to you.”

Qin Jiang’s cold gaze swept indifferently.

Principal Cheng Peng groaned inwardly. This boy was forcing him to offend the entire Qin family.

However, it’s just the Qin family—no matter how troublesome, they were easier to deal with than the Yan financial clan.

“Qin Yun, you stole a classmate’s design, took credit and rewards, and then turned around to slander the original creator.”

“The circumstances are serious. I hereby announce I’ll immediately convene with the board to expel you!“

“As for Bai Chuchu, you are an accomplice—marked with a major demerit, and you’re punished to clean all the girls’ restrooms at the school for a month by yourself!”

Bai Chuchu turned deathly pale, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

Huajing University had an unwritten rule in selecting campus beauties.

That the campus belle must have a clean family background, a clean character, and absolutely no stain on her reputation.

But now… Bai Chuchu was no longer clean.

Her character, her academic record, and in everyone’s eyes, even her body was no longer pure and immaculate.

The innocent maiden image she had maintained for years, in that instant… completely collapsed!!
