Chapter 71: Eldest Sister Regrets Her Past! Qin Jiang Will Never Forgive

“Qin Jiang, did you sabotage Qin Financial’s files, sell the information to Juyi Financial and steal the finance project I’ve been negotiating for three months? It was you, wasn’t it?”

Qin Moyun directly confronted him, subconsciously ignoring Qin Jiang’s cold, grating mockery.

“President Qin, this is slander—I can absolutely sue you for defamation.”

“Qin Moyun, I’m advising you: if the video you promised to upload isn’t on your social account within three hours…”

“Then Qin Financial… I don’t mind… getting my wife to personally destroy it!“

Qin Jiang smiled nonchalantly, a grim coldness flashing in his eyes.

His indifferent, merciless tone made Qin Moyun’s heart sink further.

In the past Qin Jiang had always fawned over her with politeness. Now he showed less and less of the respect one should have for an eldest sister…

She could understand how he probably thought she’d favored Qin Yun because of his poor health, so now he was venting his frustrations on her.

But no matter how frustrated he was with her, she felt that any family disputes should be handled behind closed doors.

Asking her to put up a video of herself pole dancing on social media platforms… that was a direct humiliation of the eldest sister.

Qin Jiang—could he really bear the cost of her sacrifice?

Wasn’t he afraid that the entire family would never forgive him?

“Qin Jiang, how dare you use the Yan family’s financial power to threaten me!”

Qin Moyun could no longer endure it. That monstrous Young Mistress Yan clearly didn’t have long to live, and Qin Jiang actually treated her as his backer!

However, even though everyone knew Yan Liang wouldn’t live long, as long as she was alive no one dared touch the Yan family’s authority.

“Qin Moyun, put away that commanding tone—do you really think you’re the master of this universe?”

“Look at your logic—I think your brain is directly connected to your butt! Even if you get hit by a car today, choke on water, or trip and die… you’d better post the video before you die!”

“Otherwise, Qin Financial will go bankrupt.”

Qin Jiang threatened her very flippantly. Theoretically, he didn’t have enough leverage on his own to speak so boldly before a financial CEO like Qin Moyun, but…he just happened to have a top tycoon wife.

With a powerful tycoon wife backing him, he could stand tall.

Qin Jiang’s tone was hard, and he pressed Qin Moyun step by step.

Qin Moyun’s face went deathly pale. The nerves in her head began to tighten and ache.

She subconsciously searched for the scent that would soothe and relieve her pain, but that scent seemed to have been completely stripped from her life.

At that moment, Qin Moyun felt as if she’d fallen into an ice pit.

“Jiang… must we siblings end up seeing each other as enemies like this?”

“Consider your eldest sister begging you—leave me one last shred of face…”

“You know, Qin Financial is the fruit of my ten years of hard work—how can you bear to…”

This time, Qin Moyun’s tone clearly lost its hardness. She spoke to Qin Jiang with the kind of gentle care she had often shown when coaxing her preferred brother, Qin Yun.

Unfortunately, the current Qin Jiang didn’t need such hypocritical affection.

“I have plenty of patience.”

“You have three hours left. Either your reputation is destroyed, or Qin Financial—the company you’ve built over the last ten years—will be destroyed!”

“Pick one of the two.”

“This game is quite fun.”

Qin Jiang gave a cold smile, a sneer tugging at the corner of his mouth.

Indeed, just like the kidnapping incident from his childhood when he was said to have “gone missing.”

The kidnappers forced the family to choose one of the two children.

He was only four years old then.

He had some memories of his relatives, but later during his wandering life he starved to the extreme, scavenged food from trash, had a fever of 41 degrees that nearly fried his brain—only then did his memories from before age four fade.

After returning to the Qin family and repeatedly helping his second sister Qin Muyun test medicines, his childhood memories slowly grew clearer.

Only then did he recall the truth about his disappearance.

In truth, the Qin family’s rapid early development aroused jealousy from rivals who hired killers, so these hired people kidnapped him and Qin Yun together.

And the kidnappers seemed to enjoy watching human nature collapse.

They took him and Qin Yun, both only four-year-old boys, to a seaside cliff.

He remembered the sea wind that day stung the skin painfully.

He could see Qin Yun’s face flushed. Qin Yun had always been physically weaker than him, and in that fierce wind he looked as if he would faint at any moment.

The vicious kidnappers tied him and Qin Yun to opposite sides of a not-very-secure branch at the cliff edge.

“President Qin, Mrs. Qin, and the five young ladies of the Qin family, today I only give you the chance to take home one child.”

“Choose one of the two.”

Choose one of the two! It was such a cruel decision.

Mr. Qin and his wife, Jiang Yuyao, both looked pale and helpless. Mr. Qin stared into Qin Jiang’s eyes and said, “Jiang, you’re the elder brother—you should be stronger than your brother. Leave hope to your biological brother, won’t you?”

Mrs. Qin, Jiang Yuyao, had tears in her eyes, “Jiang, your brother’s health is poor—he still needs his mother at this age. Let your brother live, I’m begging you as a mother… will you forgive your mother’s selfishness?”

Qin Moyun was the oldest, but at that time, she was still underaged.

She cried and called his name, “Jiang, I’m begging you—give the chance to live to Yun. Yun needs to see more of the world!”

“Don’t worry, if you fall into the sea and survive… your eldest sister will never stop searching for you.”

Qin Jiang went rigid. He was clearly just a four-year-old boy, yet his blood seemed to freeze at that moment.

He saw the Qin family’s grandmother hobble over with a cane, restrained by his parents.

The grandmother scolded angrily, “My precious grandson Yun must be fine—hurry and save my Yun. He’s our family’s lucky star… if we lose him, we’ll never have a chance to enter the capital city’s high society again…”

“Qin Jiang, this disaster—tell me… did you curse your brother so that both of you would end up in danger together?”

“You deserve to die—go jump into the sea yourself to exchange for your brother, or I’ll skin a layer off you alive…”

The entire Qin family’s choice was so unanimous.

In the end they threw him alone like a rag doll into the bone-chilling sea.

He fell from the cliff, desperately keeping his eyes wide on the cliff to the last moment.

No one leaned over. Everyone clustered around the just-rescued Qin Yun, anxiously concerned about him alone.

After Qin Jiang returned to the family eventually, the family was initially wary of him. But he tried so hard to be good to them that they gradually let down their guard.

But as Qin Jiang’s memories returned, he thought more than once…

Was he really a child of the Qin family?

A child who has never received familial love is always especially sensitive and fragile.

Whenever Mrs. Qin, Jiang Yuyao, had sores on her face and calmly asked him for beauty ointment, he would obediently go into the deep mountains, risking danger to look for ingredients, pouring his heart into making the most faithful recreation of the ointment from ancient texts.

His constant request of the Qin family members was simply that they treat him even a little like a loved family member…

But now he no longer felt any attachment to the Qin family.

So he was willing to destroy them without thinking.

When Qin Moyun heard the words “choose one of the two”…

She suddenly widened her eyes, her nerves seemingly stretched to the limit, and then with a boom, something inside her shattered and collapsed.

Qin Moyun was terrified and wanted to explain things further, but when she opened her mouth, no sound came from her throat…

Doo doo doo!

The busy signal on the phone informed her that Qin Jiang had already hung up.

It also reminded her that she only had three hours to make a choice…

Qin Moyun felt as if the sky had fallen at that moment.

Jiang… I’m sorry.

It’s Eldest Sister’s fault—Eldest Sister wronged you. My favoritism made you suffer so many injustices.

But Qin Moyun knew very clearly that Qin Jiang would no longer give her a chance to repent.

Qin Moyun sat in the office, distraught, for a very long time…

Time slipped madly through her fingers.

Finally, she stood up like a puppet completely devoid of a soul.

She began unbuttoning—she took off her formal business jacket and threw it to the floor, then continued unbuttoning her shirt button by button…

With it went her pride, her face, everything she was proud of—her personhood and dignity personally stomped into the mud where no one cared.

But she had forgotten one thing.

Qin Jiang’s dignity and personhood—and even his life—had once been trampled to pieces by her as well…

The gears of revenge had only just begun to turn!
