Chapter 95: Why Not Throw Someone Else Underfoot?

Qin Jiang’s casual few words made Qin Qianyun feel as if she had suddenly fallen into a bottomless abyss.

A wave of remorse and guilt seemed to clamp her throat, leaving her too dejected to speak.

And Qin Jiang, with such serene indifference, personally plunged the world’s most cruel, sharp blade into Qin Qianyun’s chest.

She lowered her head in silence, biting her lower lip hard, her face so pale as if all color had drained away…

“No… no… this isn’t true!”

“Jiang, I did show favoritism toward Qin Yun before, but that was only because I, too, was deceived by him…”

Jiang, but my feelings toward you and Qin Yun have always been the same!“

Qin Qianyun shook her head in panic. Under the pattering rain she was drenched, like a helpless, despairing little girl.

Her tear ducts seemed to lose control in an instant.

Qin Qianyun couldn’t help but climb the steps with red eyes.

She wanted to approach Qin Jiang, to have him tell her personally that…he was mistaken, that she had never neglected his preferences so.

But she also knew with such clarity.

She had indeed been overly partial, and had long since broken Qin Jiang’s heart.

These past few days, after being slapped by their parents, breaking with the family and kneeling at the ancestral hall, she—who had never done manual work—had cut, burned and blistered her fingers making this strawberry cake, even guarding it alone through a stormy night…

No matter how much all those hurt, she hadn’t shed a single tear.

But Qin Jiang’s few short words made her completely lose control!

So… she had been so cruel before?

Qin Jiang watched coldly as Qin Qianyun brought the strawberry cake before him. Before she could say anything, he slapped the still-intact cake, flipping it to the ground with one hand.

The rain quickly washed the cream away, scattering her earnest sincerity across the ground.

Then Qin Jiang stepped forward and completely crushed the strawberry cake underfoot in front of Qin Qianyun.

“Qin Qianyun, do you remember how I ate that strawberry cake before?”

Qin Qianyun felt as if a string in her mind had snapped completely in an instant…

It was because of her!!

Because of her deliberate, vicious prank.

She only knew that Qin Jiang was lactose intolerant and that eating a small amount of cake would give him a rash.

So she had intentionally made Qin Jiang eat the strawberry cake that he had made for her.

She had always thought that at worst, Qin Jiang would get diarrhea and a rash from the cake.

But she did not know that what nearly took Qin Jiang’s life was an allergy to strawberries.

Also, because Qin Jiang stopped her, she didn’t go to the motorcycle race that night.

The next day she heard that those who went to the race last night had died in a landslide on that mountain course.

And Qin Jiang, without a doubt, had paid with his suffering to save her life!

Yet at the time, Qin Qianyun only inwardly sighed “I’m so lucky,” convinced it was because Yun was the family’s talisman who brought safety and accumulated blessings for their Qin family, allowing her to escape the calamity.

And because of that, she even spent over a hundred thousand to buy Qin Yun a set of designer clothes.

She never thought of—or perhaps she habitually forgot—that Qin Jiang hadn’t been by her side for the following month…

And now, Qin Qianyun fully understood why Qin Jiang had disappeared for so long back then.

Boom!!

Her past cruel actions struck right at the center of the remorseful Qin Qianyun’s brow in this moment.

Heart-wrenching pain filled her and threatened to tear her apart.

Pain seemed to sweep through her entire body.

For a moment Qin Qianyun was completely limp, her body giving way as she fell from the steps at the gate.

She fell heavily like an unloved rag doll, full of lifelessness.

The white marble steps scraped open Qin Qianyun’s forehead, elbows and various joints…

Bright red blood mixed into the rain.

Many bodyguards couldn’t bear to watch such a tragic scene and turned away in pity.

Yan Liang, from beginning to end, watched it all calmly.

As if watching a jester perform a melodramatic scene, her eyes were placid and unruffled.

Standing behind Qin Jiang, she unconditionally supported any degree of blows he dealt toward his Qin family sister.

This was someone who had once bullied her precious Jiang… not having to take action herself was already an act of mercy.

“Qin Qianyun, you will never receive my forgiveness in this lifetime!”

The broken relationship could never be mended in a lifetime.

Just like this strawberry cake that had been stomped on and washed away by rain.

Qin Jiang and Fifth Sister Qin Qianyun could never return to how they were.

After Qin Jiang finished speaking, he was about to wrap his arms around Yan Liang’s waist and take his wife away.

He didn’t want Yanyan to see this filthy scene that exposed human ugliness.

But he didn’t know that Yan Liang had seen far too many ugly sides of human nature.

As the two prepared to leave hand in hand, a Porsche suddenly sped to the gate, and a woman in a black dress and mask hurriedly got out.

She didn’t even have time to open an umbrella. She rushed into the rain and leapt to Qin Qianyun’s side, who had fallen and was covered in wounds.

“Number Five…Number Five! What’s wrong with you?”

Qin Shuyun sped over all the way, intending to seek justice from Qin Jiang.

To her shock and horror, she had arrived in time to see Qin Jiang pushing her own sister down the stairs. Or so she assumed.

Qin Jiang’s temperament was simply too vicious.

“Qin Jiang, even if you don’t accept Number Five’s goodwill, you can’t just push your fifth sister down the stairs like that!”

“How is this any different from attempting to murder a family member?”

“Are you truly a rotten seed from birth? Despite how the Qin family has painstakingly disciplined and taught you, we couldn’t coax even a bit of kindness out of you?”

Qin Shuyun was so furious she paid no heed to the weak, helpless Qin Qianyun in her arms tugging her sleeve to explain.

She had “seen” Qin Jiang push her little sister down.

Qin Jiang was indeed the Qin family’s jinx!

An inhuman jinx who, step by step, would harm its own family.

In that moment she regretted not throwing some hooked thumbtacks onto Qin Jiang’s ladder back then.

To pierce him all over… best if it killed him!!

Qin Jiang laughed in anger.

Yan Liang raised an eyebrow, somewhat curious about Qin Shuyun’s train of thought.

If one pried open her skull and used a scalpel to tease along the folds of her brain… would one find the answer?

Excitement, tinged with bloody cruelty, bloomed in Yan Liang’s eyes, and her knuckles rubbed together impatiently.

Tsk… my hands are a bit itchy.

Where’s my scythe—should I just smash it open?

But no,* I** can’t.*

She couldn’t read Jiang’s attitude right now. Even though she was an extremely decisive person who was used to standing at the position of highest authority, Yan Liang hesitated repeatedly when it came to Qin Jiang.

Afraid even a single misstep.

She couldn’t accept even the slightest negative emotion from Jiang toward her.

Even a slight frown, she couldn’t bear.

So Yan Liang could only quietly suppress her murderous intent, obediently letting Qin Jiang lead her.

But that made Zhou Ning raise an eyebrow instead.

Mama mia… Did he just sense a trace of familiar murderous intent moments ago?

But looking up at Ms. Liang, he saw the tycoon CEO with a noble, cold queen demeanor.

Only her fingertips were quietly entwined with Qin Jiang’s palm, intertwining and merging.

Like a snake, but even more like desire!!

Very good… with Qin Jiang acting as this “talisman for subduing demons,” the Young Mistress wouldn’t lose control suddenly.

Qin Jiang, on the other hand, had completely lost patience now. Faced with Qin Shuyun’s accusations, he first released Yan Liang’s hand, lowered his gaze and placed a soothing kiss on Yan Liang’s brow.

“Yanyan, I’ll personally deal with this little trash, okay?”

The man’s involuntary deep voice was suddenly unbearably sexy.

Yan Liang was stunned for a second. The tips of her ears even faintly flushed pink.

Mm… Jiang*, my mouth** feels a bit tingly.*

I want to bite!

I want to eat him right now!!

Even if she was already quite full, if the target was Qin Jiang, she could never be satisfied in a lifetime~~

“Mm… I respect every decision Jiang makes.”

“I’ll wait for you in the car.”

Saying this, Yan Liang gave him enough respect and left first. Butler Xu hurriedly held up an umbrella to follow behind her.

Casting a suspicious glance at Qin Jiang, his eyes couldn’t hide his shock.

Oh my god, Young Mistress, aren’t you really afraid Qin Jiang will run off again??

*This *kid has a million and one schemes up his sleeve…

Then again, Butler Xu knew his Young Mistress well. He knew that she was always like this: as long as Qin Jiang was willing to deceive her even a little, she will smile and swallow that honeyed lie.

Even if… it’s fake.

Yan Liang left, but Zhou Ning did not.

He wasn’t letting Mr. Qin out of his sight!

“Qin Shuyun, I’ve tolerated you for a long time!”

“Since you insist I pushed Qin Qianyun, then… you can taste what it’s like to be thrown down the stairs.”

“Zhou Ning!!”

At Qin Jiang’s call, Zhou Ning obediently took action.

He grabbed Qin Shuyun with one hand and threw her onto the front steps, and Qin Shuyun fell exactly at Qin Jiang’s feet.

A method overflowing with humiliation!

It couldn’t be more fitting for dealing with the proud Qin Shuyun…

“Qin Shuyun, you’re just a fucking idiot! You think you’ve got emotions but you’re actually worse than an animal!”

“Installed your GPS yet? Do you even know your position? Do you really think you can be this wild and arrogant??”

“Not planning to live until tomorrow? Rushing to grab a spot in hell already??”

As Qin Jiang spoke, his high-end custom crocodile leather shoes ground directly onto the back of Qin Shuyun’s hand.

Mm… simple trash-talking resulted in ultimate enjoyment!!

Rather than get upset with himself, why not throw someone else underfoot?
