Qin Jiang glanced at the treasure vault piled with jewels and gold bricks. Before this, when he saw the golden chocolate truffle Yan Liang gave him, he wished he had a gold nugget that big.
But now, compared with the wall of gold bricks before his eyes, the one in his hand looked small by comparison…
Uh, he actually felt it was a bit too small.
Indeed, people are defined by comparisons.
He felt like he was on cloud nine.
“I like it, but I still like Yanyan the most.”
Qin Jiang obediently gave the correct answer. But deep inside, he thought, j**ust kidding… holding tight to my yandere wife is the ultimate secret to getting rich!
“Mhm.”
Yan Liang nodded, motioning for Qin Jiang to come closer. “Jiang, the line you said earlier was wrong.”
“It should be… kind people are loved by others~”
A kiss landed squarely on Qin Jiang’s thin lips, then escalated into a more forceful claim.
Qin Jiang was pinned on the gold bricks, unable to move forward or back.
But he was actually very willing to be in this position~~
…
Outside the Yan family’s old manor.
Qin Qianyun carried the strawberry cake she had carefully made. She always cared about her appearance, and even when going out to throw away trash at school she’d put on a little makeup. But now she looked disheveled and unkempt.
The wounds on her hand almost covered the whole hand, yet she seemed oblivious to them.
Red veins crawled across the whites of her eyes. She looked clearly listless but also showed a streak of excitement.
At this moment she was actually very excited.
She couldn’t help imagining how moved Jiang would be if he saw his fifth sister—who had never lifted a finger at home—personally make him a strawberry cake.
Would he then accept her apology and forgive her?
She came to the gate of the Yan family’s old manor with a heart full of trepidation.
The Yan family’s old manor still had white ribbons hanging everywhere. The guests had already gone inside, so the entrance looked very deserted.
But the Yan family’s old manor was guarded by bodyguards, and they noticed this suspicious looking woman in tatters loitering around the entrance.
Soon a bodyguard stepped forward to drive her away.
“Who are you?”
“This is the Yan family’s old manor. Guests without invitations are not allowed in!”
As expected, Qin Qianyun was blocked from entering.
She hurriedly spoke up to explain to the bodyguard, “I’m Qin Jiang’s fifth sister. Go tell him that his fifth sister personally came here to see him and that he must come out to meet me.”
The moment Qin Qianyun said the name “Qin Jiang,” she wondered if it was her imagination…
Why did she feel the bodyguard seemed frightened?
But… what about Qin Jiang was so scary?
He was just an ordinary college student who hadn’t graduated yet.
“You’re looking for our Mr. Qin?”
“Tsk, just look at yourself! You’re just some random beggar, aren’t you? How dare you claim to be related to Mr. Qin! Truly shameless!”
Right now, the mansion’s bodyguards had all been replaced by the Liangyue Manor’s “professional team” led by Zhou Ning.
Compared to the Yan family’s own staff, they were a group who knew Qin Jiang better.
“Get out of here! Do you think we’re idiots? Our Mr. Qin Jiang, has no older sister and no parents.”
“He’s just an orphan who, alone and helpless, ended up marrying into our Young Mistress’ family.”
“If he truly had family and an older sister, how could he on his wedding day arrive all alone carrying a sack of tattered clothes, without a single valuable item on him, and enter Liangyue Manor like that?”
The bodyguard said this mockingly, but it was an indisputable fact.
Of course, some guards who hadn’t heard the gossip couldn’t help whispering among themselves.
“The new husband is so pathetic?”
“Before marrying into the family he probably lived worse than a beggar… I can’t believe actually has relatives!”
“Probably now that they see Mr. Qin has made it big, they’re here to mooch money off him?”
“Gosh, people like that are the worst. If she weren’t a woman, I’d stuff her in a sack and drag her into the alley and beat her senseless…“
A certain bodyguard said this in a self-righteous manner.
After all, any unhappiness about Qin Jiang had been blown to pieces by that grenade into the icy lake just now.
Nobody in the entire Yan family would dare provoke this living King of Hades.
“I totally agree! If Mr. Qin really had family, which family would let their precious son or beloved younger brother suffer like that?”
“Hilarious—fifth sister? An older sister who didn’t even show her face at the wedding—does she even deserve to be called an older sister?”
