Once the news spread, many keyboard warriors clicked follow on Qin Jiang’s account.
And the follower count shot up straight away.
For a while, the insults toward Qin Jiang softened somewhat. The keyboard warriors weren’t going to bite the hand that fed them.
At the entrance of the Yan family’s old manor.
Qin Shuyun was still squabbling with Qin Jiang. Qin Qianyun, who had been helped up, couldn’t stand—she stared in a daze at the strawberry cake at Qin Jiang’s feet, trampled to mush.
Just like Qin Jiang and Qin Qianyun.
A broken relationship that could never be restored in a lifetime!
Her heart ached as if being wrung.
Something was slipping away from her life, but when she reached out she couldn’t grasp anything.
Qin Qianyun lifted her eyes. Only after some effort did she realize her Fourth Sister had actually come.
Her lifeless gaze suddenly flashed with some iciness.
Fourth Sister… did she come again to bully Jiang?
Before coming she had gone to see Eldest Sister, who had already told her about the vile things Qin Shuyun had done to Qin Jiang.
Now Qin Qianyun stared at the back of Qin Shuyun, feeling that she had come again to trample and humiliate the life Jiang had only just begun to rebuild.
In an instant she rose recklessly and lunged, knocking Qin Shuyun to the ground.
Then she grabbed a fallen stone nearby, holding its sharp edge above her head, ready to slash Fourth Sister’s face.
Qin Qianyun’s tone was sorrowful and indignant, “Fourth Sister, why are you here to look for Jiang again?”
“Do you only feel satisfied if you kill him??
“This time, I won’t be a silent fool and become your ‘accomplice’ in attacking Jiang!”
Qin Qianyun lowered her eyes. A bleeding wound on her forehead kept oozing blood, flowing down her face with the rain and blurring her features.
Then Qin Qianyun looked up at Qin Jiang, her voice hoarse and threaded with sobs, “Jiang, Fifth Sister deserves to die…”
“Fifth Sister was wrong, horribly wrong!!”
“This time, let Fifth Sister protect you.”
Qin Qianyun spoke with heartfelt sincerity. The sharp stone in her hand gave Qin Shuyun an unprecedented sense of fear and pressure.
“Number Five, are you crazy or what?”
“I’m your Fourth Sister! How can you treat me like this for the sake of this bastard!”
“Qin Jiang doesn’t even care about his birth mother, so he clearly doesn’t care about anyone else in his family! You still imagine getting along with him and forging ties with the Yan family? You’re just too stupid!”
Qin Shuyun cursed angrily. Although she wanted Qin Jiang ruined, Qin Qianyun was after all her own sister, and she still wanted to preserve her reputation.
She was forced to cut off the livestream.
But with the video of Qin Jiang laying hands on her earlier, the public opinion winds were now firmly in her control.
So naturally this became a bargaining chip in her hands.
As long as Qin Jiang wanted to survive in the capital city — especially since he ran a tech company and was said to be going into AI…
He could not avoid the internet.
Public opinion alone was enough to destroy a person!!
“Fourth Sister, you’re the foolish one.”
“Qin Yun is a complete liar and he stole everything that belonged to Jiang. And you… you’re still oblivious to all of that!”
“Is this what it feels like to be the only sober one among the drunk?”
Thinking of the grievances Qin Jiang had suffered, Qin Qianyun’s eyes were already red from crying.
Then she no longer hesitated.
She turned her hand and suddenly slashed the face of the pinned-down Qin Shuyun with the sharp stone.
Qin Shuyun struggled in terror. The stone grazed the side of her right cheek, leaving a clear streak of blood instantly visible…
Qin Shuyun was beside herself with fury. She used all her strength to shove Qin Qianyun away, her face ugly with rage.
She… she had always protected her youngest sister so much.
And now she was slashed in the face by the sister she cared most about??
Her sister knew clearly that what she cared about most was her face, right??
It turned out only blood relatives know exactly where to attack you so that it would hurt the most!!
“No… don’t!!”
“My face, my face… Qin Qianyun, you’ve really gone mad! If I still care for you at this point, I must be an idiot!”
Qin Shuyun broke down completely. She had tried to stand up for her younger sister, yet she ended up getting attacked by her instead.
“Fourth Sister, haven’t you always believed that whether it’s the burn ointment or scar cream at home, those highly effective restorative ointments were made by Qin Yun?”
“So why did you go to Jiang to get the burn ointment after Mom was scalded?”
“Was it really just because Jiang took the ointment stock? Or did you already know all this was Jiang’s efforts, yet you simply comfortably enjoy the results and attribute the honor to Qin Yun, naturally doting on this so-called brother who grew up together with you??”
“Fourth Sister, all people have a good side and a bad side. As for everyone in the Qin family, I see them as evil vampires greedily sucking Qin Jiang’s blood!!”
Qin Qianyun spoke coldly, each sentence tearing at Qin Shuyun’s veiled pride and arrogance.
She had not deliberately turned a blind eye to the truth. Or at least she didn’t believe so.
In her mind, Yun was simply way more outstanding than Qin Jiang!!
It was Yun who was the last hope to fix her face…
Smack!!
A vicious slap landed on Qin Qianyun’s face.
“Number Five, shut up!!”
“I won’t allow you to talk about our parents and sisters like that. Qin Jiang is a member of the Qin family, so what’s wrong with him contributing to the family?”
“The fact that the family needs him, he should be grateful for that!”
“Not resentful toward us…”
But after that slap fell.
Qin Qianyun’s look toward her chilled inch by inch.
Qin Shuyun felt a coldness all over her body.
Her heart seemed to fall from a great height and shatter into countless pieces in Qin Qianyun’s accusations. No matter how she tried to piece it back together, it could never return to what it was…
After being slapped, Qin Qianyun gave her a mirthless smile. “Fourth Sister, this is the last time I will call you Fourth Sister!”
“From now on, I will no longer recognize you as my sister.”
Having said that, Qin Qianyun didn’t look at Qin Shuyun again.
She finally dragged her heavy steps and climbed the steps toward Qin Jiang again, one step at a time.
This time, it seemed she was clutching something in her hand.
Something warm to the touch.
It was a piece of smooth, warm top-grade blood jade. Even in the rain, as long as it was warmed by a person’s body temperature, it became warm to the touch and impossible to put down.
This was the top-grade blood jade that Mr. Qin had obtained back then.
He had seven children, but the blood jade was only divided into six pieces.
The sixth piece had been carefully carved into the largest jade plaque, symbolizing the authority of the Qin family’s future head.
Each blood jade piece was kept by its owner, and it was a symbol of the Qin children’s common lineage.
But even after Qin Jiang returned to the Qin family for four years, no one ever mentioned anything about compensating him with a piece, or dividing Qin Yun’s obviously two-person’s share in two…
The whole family seemed to be playing dumb.
In truth, they probably never regarded Qin Jiang as one of their own.
This time, Qin Qianyun climbed the steps again, and what she held in her hand was clearly the extra-large piece of blood jade that Qin Yun had hidden away.
Qin Shuyun watched this scene, her brow tightly furrowing.
That piece indeed rightfully had half belonging to Qin Jiang.
But… that blood jade had belonged to Yun for nearly twenty years, and now Number Five had ’secretly’ taken it out.
What she intended to do was self-evident.
But… was Qin Jiang worthy?
Blood jade has a spirit, so after following Yun for so many years it had already recognized Yun as its master and belonged to Yun…
Number Five must have been bewitched by Qin Jiang—she was already mad!
“Jiang, it’s fine if you don’t want the strawberry cake, it’s all Fifth Sister’s fault, but… this piece of blood jade naturally has a portion that belongs to you.”
“This is a symbol of our Qin family’s bloodline origins…What our parents didn’t give you, Fifth Sister stole and brought to you…”
“Jiang, Fifth Sister doesn’t ask for forgiveness. Fifth Sister only wants our Jiang to get a fair share in the Qin family… that’s all.”
Qin Jiang merely sneered in response.
Indeed, he had lived with the Qin family for four whole years, yet even a fair share as a son was a luxury.
So… why should he give the Qin family even a scrap of benevolence?
“Oh.”
“You’re too late. I stopped needing it a long time ago.”
“It’s just blood jade, my wife will give me one herself.”
“As for the one in your hand, I don’t care for it at all!”
Qin Jiang tugged at the cord around his neck, revealing a blood jade pendant that was visibly better in quality and purer, more upscale.
Its delicate classical carvings and top-grade blood jade coloring made anyone see that the piece on Qin Jiang’s neck easily outclassed the one Qin Qianyun had carefully brought forward.
Truly, a world of difference!!
To be doted on by the Yan family’s Young Mistress, Qin Jiang had truly reached the peak of life!
Qin Qianyun widened her eyes, red veins appearing in the whites, and finally couldn’t help but take a step back.
But in the next moment, the young man in front of her took a step forward and took the piece of blood jade from her hands…
Hope glittered in Qin Qianyun’s eyes, but in the next instant she heard the sound of the blood jade token falling and shattering.
Crack!!
“Ah… how did this piece of trash break?”
Qin Jiang’s tone was light, the mockery and sarcasm in his eyes piercing.
Indeed, why should Qin Yun still have that intact piece of blood jade?
Even though he had something better, he refused to leave this inferior piece to Qin Yun.
“Qin Jiang, don’t go too far!”
Qin Shuyun couldn’t stand it and was about to pounce over to pick it up.
“Zhou Ning, trash belongs in the trash bin.”
“Do you understand what I mean?”
Having said that, Qin Jiang didn’t bother to spare even a final glance at Qin Shuyun and Qin Qianyun.
He could of course choose to end them like the way he exploded the icy lake.
But that would be no fun.
Why kill them immediately when making life worse than death and tormenting someone can be so satisfying?
“Yes, Mr. Qin!”
Zhou Ning ruefully fetched two trash bins, knocked out the two big pieces of trash, and with practiced corpse-throwing skill he heaved them into the bins…
If he knew Qin Jiang’s thoughts…
He would probably exclaim in his heart: Can’t believe you did that*, Mr. Qin—even the King of Hell would need a tattoo of you on his back~~*
…
Qin Jiang returned to the car. Yan Liang had already been sitting there waiting for him for some time.
She didn’t question Qin Jiang’s choice in the slightest.
After Qin Jiang got in, her soft body couldn’t help leaning against him, wrapping the young man in her familiar scent so he wouldn’t be tainted by others.
She knew her possessiveness was indeed somewhat perverse.
Just the thought of Jiang spending time with those ‘biological sisters’ made her want to stab those two women.
Yanyan, what’s wrong… so clingy today?
Qin Jiang was a little puzzled. By now he was very used to the warmth and touch of being cuddled by his yandere wife.
But exactly what was cuddling him…was a different matter.
They were so absurdly soft.
It made him want, more than once, to casually squeeze and prod.
But while he dared to pat her head, groping… aside from the times Yanyan lost control, on ordinary days he was still apprehensive.
“Mmm… just wanted to… cuddle.”
“Jiang, I want a little squeeze.”
Qin Jiang’s Adam’s apple bobbed as his blood surged to a peak.
“Baby, where shall I squeeze??”
