NOVGO.NET Chapter 371
Third Uncle Qin’s methods were relatively lenient, as he still remembered the life-saving favor Yu Xin had done for his wife and the child in her womb. So, he only publicly reclaimed the house and privately restricted his family members from interacting with her further. Additionally, he banned her from working within the Qin Corporation. So far, this was fairly merciful.
At one point, Third Uncle Qin wondered if the car accident rescue was also something Yu Xin had falsely claimed, taking credit from his Jiaxi. But he knew Jiaxi couldn’t have been at the scene at the time, so it must have been genuine. The video footage was also very clear. Third Uncle Qin had never imagined his wife would take such risks to help an outsider, so his doubts and speculations only went so far.
At this moment, Yu Xin was stunned by Third Uncle Qin’s words. It was her bachelor apartment, located near the school, and it was expensive. There was no way she could bear to give it up. She hadn’t expected him to be so ruthless, taking away her biggest asset in one fell swoop.
This was truly too much to bear, and she swayed unsteadily, looking as if she might faint. Qin Han immediately grasped Yu Xin’s arm, furious, “Dad, how can you do this… Yu Xin already said she didn’t mean it.
She just wanted a family, what’s wrong with that! Besides, it’s so embarrassing to take back something once it’s given away.”
“You want to be a fool, but I don’t! What right does she have to keep something she deceived? Qin Han, do you even have a conscience? Your headaches improved because of who? Don’t you owe your sister an apology, a thank you? You just said she doesn’t care about you!” Third Uncle Qin coldly retorted.
Qin Han, however, felt no guilt and instead glared viciously at Qin Jiaxi. “Overreacting, aren’t you? So eager to show off your achievements, are you? Are you satisfied now?”
“You!”
If this happened a few more times, Third Uncle Qin might really end up seriously ill from anger.
Suddenly, Qin Jiaxi spoke up, “Not satisfied.”
Qin Han was stunned, and those around were also astonished. After all, this was the first time Qin Jiaxi had directly confronted her brother in front of everyone with harsh words.
I hope you won’t eat the medicinal meal made from the prescription I gave you anymore. I don’t want to feed you. I regret helping you find the prescription. No matter how well I treat you, you never see it. Before, I didn’t understand, thinking it was my fault. Now I finally get it.
Qin Jiaxi looked around and then suddenly understood, “It’s not me who’s wrong; it’s you. You ungrateful wretch, you have a heart of a wolf. You… don’t deserve my brotherly affection. You only have her as your sister, so I’m not your sister anymore. I have other brothers and sisters who care about me, so I don’t need you.”
It seemed that the so-called “brother” had truly broken her heart, and Qin Jiaxi suddenly realized/understood.
Just moments ago, she had held a shred of hope, always fantasizing that maybe her brother was misled by expectations, misunderstanding her and siding with Yu Xin against her. But now that it had been proven so clearly, her brother still stood against her, criticizing her. She had been such a fool, so desperate for his approval that she had been degrading herself, indulging in such brotherly affection. Her sincerity had been wasted.
Now, it didn’t matter anymore; at least her dad was genuinely on her side, willing to listen to her grievances.
She was truly exhausted, no longer wanting this brother.
As for her mother, that was another matter.
Qin Han was dumbfounded. How dared his timid sister, Qin Jiaxi, speak to him like that?
She actually said she didn’t want him, and even insulted him?
This wasn’t supposed to be his role – Qin Jiaxi was expected to act like a devoted little sister, always trying to grab his attention. She must be out of her mind! How could she give up on him, her brother!
Qin Han seemed incapable of accepting the situation, feeling an indescribable ache in his chest.
As for his daughter’s outburst, Third Uncle Qin had no reservations.
He wouldn’t preach about keeping the family harmonious, hoping for a chance for the siblings to reconcile later. He wouldn’t ask the wronged Qin Jiaxi to be forgiving.
He only knew that his daughter had suffered enough, and from now on, she could do whatever she wanted. If she didn’t want to acknowledge her brother, so be it. As Qin Jiaxi said, she had other siblings who would unconditionally support her.
Third Uncle Qin smiled, took his daughter’s hand, and addressed Qin Han, “Go reflect, and tell your mother clearly about cutting ties with her. What I just said, you’d better listen to, unless you also want to find yourself a new dad.”
Qin Han’s face paled.
Third Uncle Qin finished speaking and ushered everyone to leave.
Today marked Qin Jiaxi’s new beginning, really reclaiming her dignity and avenging past wrongs.
Third Uncle Qin took everyone straight to the best hotel in Y City to celebrate Qin Jiaxi.
The revolving restaurant on the top floor of the hotel had a great view. Qin Xian directly stole away his wife for a private date, the two enjoying the beautiful scenery and sweetness.
Everything was going well. Ji Fei, gazing at Qin Xian under the night sky, felt her heart flutter, wanting to lean over to kiss her husband. But then she heard footsteps.
“Second Sister-in-law, new update – Yu Xin is really refusing to leave. Qin Han, that idiot, is still helping her, but the lawyers and security have forcibly evicted them, tossing them out. She even faked a faint, but the lawyer just sent her straight to the police station. Before even entering, she panicked and signed the agreement, losing the house for good.”
“Qin Han was furious and wanted to take Yu Xin home, but Third Uncle Qin had already warned the security, so they wouldn’t let Yu Xin in.”
“In the end, Qin Han had to arrange a hotel for her, and things finally calmed down.”
“But Third Aunt’s call has already come through. Third Uncle Qin will likely have a tough time when he gets back.”
Third Uncle Qin entrusted Jiaxi to me, asking us to take her back to the ancestral home. He’s worried Jiaxi might get mistreated.
Somehow, a gossip circle centered around Ji Fei had gradually formed. So, as soon as someone heard any news, Qin Second’s family rushed over to report, and others followed suit, eager to join in.
When the crowd rushed up to the observation deck, they saw their head of the family, deeply gazing into his wife’s eyes, hugging her… and the lady already had her arms around his neck, tiptoeing, ready for a kiss.
Everyone was shocked…
“Sorry to interrupt!”
Before anyone could leave, Ji Fei had already gotten interested.”What? Really? Third Uncle Qin will have a tough battle when he gets home!”
She abandoned her husband and turned towards the crowd…
Everyone looked over cautiously and saw Qin Xian’s face darken, staring coldly at them with no emotion.
Everyone: Will we be in trouble later…?!!
It was mainly that Qin Xian’s image was too restrained, making them always forget to be discreet. Boohoo.
After returning to the ancestral home, everyone gathered to gossip some more.
While Ji Fei was enjoying the ongoing “eating melon” act and live real-time updates.
“Wow, Qin Han just left, and Su Ze is already seeking comfort.”
“Hehe, Third Aunt is really pulling out the ‘cry, make a scene, threaten to faint’ routine! Oh, she’s claiming a ‘dong tai qi’ threatened miscarriage now? I’m not being unkind here, but trying to force Third Uncle Qin to agree to adoption at a time like this is just too fake. Fortunately, Third Uncle Qin stuck to his guns and sent her straight to the hospital.”
“Qin Han is still so stubborn, always thinking Yu Xin is good and Jiaxi is bad… Oh? He seems to still not know about Su Ze and Yu Xin’s affair. If we could get evidence…”
