NOVGO.NET Chapter 375
Qin Dynasty Qin Rong: “We don’t have immunity; we’ve been poisoned.”
Qin Yi didn’t hear Ji Fei’s thoughts but could empathize with her. Being slightly older, he spoke without much concern, “Third Aunt, that’s not quite right. How is that person more suited than Jiaxi? Your daughter is the victim here.”
Third Aunt Qin frowned, feeling extremely annoyed. She was talking to her own daughter, so why did outsiders always feel the need to butt in?
Just as she was about to refute, she suddenly heard Ji Fei speak up.
“Brother, why are you saying that? Yu Xin and Su Ze are indeed a perfect match. Jiaxi isn’t suited for him.”
Unaccustomed to Ji Fei’s approach, both Qin Yi and Qin Jiaxi were stunned. But their instincts told them there was more to this. If someone else had said this, Jiaxi might have felt hurt, but since it was Ji Fei, Jiaxi instantly wanted to hear the rest of the explanation.
Third Aunt Qin, however, suddenly felt that there was at least one normal person among them who could read the room. She was about to speak in agreement when Ji Fei laughed and said, “How could Jiaxi, a normal person, be a match for Su Ze? Su Ze and Yu Xin are truly made for each other. As the saying goes, ‘A scumbag and a slut make a perfect pair; together, they can last forever!'”
Those words instantly silenced Third Aunt Qin, and her nose nearly twisted in anger.
She wanted to get furious, but the group burst out laughing.
She tried to refute, but everyone was giving Ji Fei thumbs up, saying, “You’re absolutely right!”
When she attempted to defend herself, Ji Fei added with a smile, “Third Aunt, you’re so wise. You know that a cheating scumbag like that isn’t worthy of your daughter. Only someone like that little third wheel is a match. Don’t worry, Jiaxi won’t hold a grudge against them. After all, Third Uncle has already thoroughly avenged Jiaxi, so if she still held a grudge, it would just seem petty.”
After saying that, Ji Fei turned to Jiaxi, who had a glint of amusement in her eyes, and continued, “Jiaxi, listen to your mother’s advice. The next time you see Yu Xin, remind her to behave better in the future and not act like a fool in front of the Qin family’s eldest daughter. Otherwise, we know how to use our position to bully others.”
By the last sentence, Ji Fei’s tone had lowered, and her gaze turned icy as she stared at Third Aunt Qin.
In that moment, the aura she exuded was strikingly similar to Qin Xian.
Third Aunt Qin didn’t expect to be stunned by this young girl in front of her, and in the end, she couldn’t muster a single word of resistance.
When she finally came to her senses, she was so furious that her face turned pale.
What was even more infuriating was that her daughter actually agreed.
Third Aunt Qin couldn’t help but turn her sharp gaze toward Qin Jiaxi.
Today, Qin Jiaxi felt entirely unfamiliar to her. The once meek little girl who had always tried to please her seemed to have vanished. Now, even when faced with her, Jiaxi wore a cold expression.
But when talking to others, she could smile.
That kind of smile was completely alien to Third Aunt Qin. It was as if there was no memory in her mind of Jiaxi ever smiling like that.
Third Aunt Qin didn’t reflect on her own behavior. Instead, she thought Jiaxi was ungrateful and pathetic, a lapdog who tried to please other members of the Qin family. She had always been a nuisance since she was young. Yu Xin, on the other hand, was well-behaved and obedient.
Thinking about the upcoming plans, Third Aunt Qin knew she had to take a bold gamble. So, before that…
She swallowed her anger and pretended not to have been ridiculed, continuing, “If it’s a breakup, then so be it. By the way, a son of a friend of mine is doing business here and doesn’t know his way around. You should help him out and make some friends.”
Before Qin Jiaxi could react, she waved her hand toward the distance, and her smile was as bright as a flower, a level of friendliness she rarely showed to any member of the Qin family.
Her intent was clear: she was going to introduce another man to Qin Jiaxi.
But had Third Uncle Qin even mentioned this?
Seeing Qin Jiaxi’s reluctance, it was obvious she disliked this kind of arrangement.
She had just come out of a failed relationship.
Ji Fei, on the other hand, had a simple thought:
[It’s strange. She’s not the type to genuinely consider her daughter’s well-being. Could it be that she’s worried Qin Jiaxi’s single status might interfere with her precious Yu Xin and Su Ze’s relationship? After all, the Su family wanted to arrange a marriage with Jiaxi, not Yu Xin.]
The others, however, were more curious about what kind of man Third Aunt Qin would introduce to Qin Jiaxi.
Then they saw a fat man walking quickly over, gasping for breath. His face was filled with smiles, his head and ears plump, and his face covered in pockmarks, which could completely ruin one’s appetite.
Not all wealthy people are handsome, but the rich tend to take better care of themselves. Yet this man was completely out of place in this setting.
Was this the man Third Aunt Qin wanted to introduce?
The Qin family members were all wide-eyed with disbelief, and Qin Jiaxi’s face turned pale.
So, in her mother’s eyes, this is what she was worth?
Instinct told them not to judge by appearances, but the next second, both Ji Fei and Qin Rong felt an uncomfortable, greasy gaze scanning them, especially Ji Fei.
“You look very familiar,” the fat man said with a smile. “You look like a celebrity.”
Instead of introducing himself, he started by talking to Ji Fei.
Ji Fei’s expression immediately darkened as she coldly glanced at Third Aunt Qin.
But Third Aunt Qin was beaming with affection at the fat man.
Qin Zhao was already furious. He directly said coldly to the fat man, “If you look over here again, I’ll gouge your eyes out.” Then, taking a fork from the dessert tray, he slammed it into the cake, making the fat man flinch and quickly look away.
Third Aunt Qin, however, was like a blind person who couldn’t see the offense. She was displeased and said, “Qin Zhao, what are you doing? This is my friend’s son. People of the same age should get along well.”
“Ha. I dislike ugly people,” Qin Zhao declared proudly.
This made the fat man’s expression turn awkward, though he didn’t dare to cause trouble.
Third Aunt Qin was incensed but knew Qin Zhao wasn’t the type to be reasoned with. So, she ignored him and directly addressed the fat man, “Chang, come over. Let me introduce you to my daughter, Qin Jiaxi. In the future, if you need anything, just ask her for help. Think of her as family and get along well.”
Saying that, she actually signaled for the fat man to sit next to Qin Jiaxi.
The fat man looked Qin Jiaxi over and seemed disappointed. Jiaxi was actually quite pretty, but compared to Ji Fei and Qin Rong, she paled in comparison. The fat man had initially assumed one of the two prettier girls would be his match, so upon seeing Jiaxi, he felt a deep sense of regret.
Ji Fei, seeing the fat man still looking regretful but eager to sit next to Jiaxi, felt like vomiting.
“Jiaxi, come here,” Ji Fei said directly.
