Chapter 54: Chapter 54
Qin Yishu has been by this man’s side for six years and is adept at reading his emotions. She can tell that he is angry; the calm in his eyes at this moment is actually the prelude to a brewing storm.
So, she fearfully took a step back, "Qianchi, it was Aunt Sheng who wanted me to meet the media together."
"Hmm," Sheng Qianchi casually inhaled a puff of smoke and elegantly blew out a smoke ring, "a very good excuse. Because you saved me, I’ll believe it just for this time, but if it happens again..."
His gaze suddenly fixed on Qin Yishu’s face with an icy coldness that made her tremble involuntarily, "Qianchi, I... I won’t dare anymore."
Sheng Qianchi’s lips curled into a smile, but the amusement in his eyes was exceedingly faint, "Good, I like talking to smart women."
He slightly lowered his gaze, his eyes falling on the Jade Bracelet on her wrist, "Take it off."
The voice was neither loud nor soft, yet carried an undeniable command.
Qin Yishu didn’t understand for a moment what it meant; the Sheng family had numerous jewels, surely they wouldn’t take back the things that they had given away?
Sheng Qianchi coldly repeated, "Take it off."
After a few seconds of daze, Qin Yishu finally came to her senses, hesitated, removed the Jade Bracelet from her wrist, and handed it to Sheng Qianchi, a rush of obscure sadness welled up inside.
Sheng Qianchi first extinguished the cigarette in his hand, then took the Jade Bracelet, suddenly exerted force, and smashed the priceless Jade Bracelet onto the ground, turning it into a pile of broken jade pieces.
"?!" Qin Yishu was at a loss, looking at the broken Jade Bracelet on the ground, then looking at Sheng Qianchi, "Qian... Qianchi?"
Sheng Qianchi’s face was indifferent; the spring breeze blew across his face, carrying a bit of chill, "Understand?"
This Jade Bracelet was a token used by Gu Shaohua to publicly acknowledge this daughter-in-law. His destruction of it now was intended to tell her to stop dreaming; the position of Young Madam Sheng does not belong to her.
Qin Yishu’s eyes held immense disappointment as she obediently lowered her eyelids.
Yet when her eyelids covered her dark eyes, a surge of hatred suddenly rose in her heart.
She hated Gu Jiayin, no, she should say she hated Gu Jiayin even more.
Sheng Qianchi said no more, turned around, got into the car, and left in a cloud of dust.
When Gu Jiayin passed through the living room, Qin Zhennan and Ye Zhilin were drinking tea.
Just like usual, Qin Zhennan was a smiling tiger, upon seeing Gu Jiayin, he took the initiative to greet her with a smile, "Jiayin, you’re back, did you have fun with Qianchi?"
Before Gu Jiayin could answer, Ye Zhilin bit her teeth hatefully and cursed, "Vixen."
She originally thought that by urging Gu Shaohua and Zuo Qianhua to publicly slap Gu Jiayin in the face and organizing masses of reporters and fans to surround her, it would make Gu Jiayin never rise up again.
Who knew that Sheng Qianchi descended from the sky and not only protected Gu Jiayin but also successfully cleaned her reputation.
How could she not hate it?
Gu Jiayin originally didn’t want to pay attention to the Qin Family today, but seeing Ye Zhilin’s venomous look, she retreated after having climbed a few steps up the stairs.
A bright smile appeared on her lips, "Of course happy, Qianchi said, after being with me, he realized how disgusting the six years with Qin Yishu were."
"You!" Ye Zhilin was so angry that her face turned pale, her features twisted.
The mocking gaze swept across Ye Zhilin’s face, Gu Jiayin slowly turned and went upstairs, as light as a spring breeze.
Not long after Gu Jiayin left, Qin Xueyao came downstairs, looking unwell.
Ye Zhilin hurriedly went forward to support her, "My little aunt, you must be careful, nothing must happen to the child in your belly, this is an important chip to secure the Pei Family marriage."
Qin Xueyao sat dispiritedly on the sofa, "I just called Aunt Pei again, she is still being punished by Uncle Pei to face the wall, and she is not willing to help me deal with Gu Jiayin anymore, fearing Uncle Pei’s anger."
Ye Zhilin hurriedly comforted, "Don’t be afraid, what you need to do now is to take good care of the pregnancy, Pei Keqian is an old-fashioned man, although he is protecting Gu Jiayin, but as long as you are carrying the Pei Family’s flesh and blood, he surely will force Nianchen to marry you."
Qin Zhennan also nodded in agreement, "Yes, take good care of the pregnancy."
At this moment, Qin Yishu returned in despair, listening to the conversation of several people, her heart was actually twisted; she was now hoping that Pei Nianchen would come back and take Gu Jiayin away, would Sheng Qianchi turn back to her then?
Ye Zhilin looked at Qin Yishu’s appearance and couldn’t help but be surprised, "Yishu, did... Sheng Qianchi hit you?"
"Qianchi never hits women!" Qin Yishu irritably glanced at Ye Zhilin, "It’s that bitch who bullied me!"
"Who bullied my good sister?"
A lazy and roguish male voice suddenly sounded.
As the voice fell, a young man walked in at the entrance of the living room. He was wearing a high-end custom-made semi-casual suit in black and white checks, with pointed black leather shoes, his hair slightly long, covering half his face, a pair of single phoenix eyes carrying a few traces of nonchalance.
His figure was thin and tall, so he was much like a stick.
No matter how you look at him, he has a rogue look.
He was the young master of the Qin Family, Qin Mingxuan.
Two years younger than Gu Jiayin, every strand of his hair marks him as quite the playboy, instead of being a well-bred gentleman, he leads a group of street punks daily, swaggering through the streets.
Seeing Qin Mingxuan made Ye Zhilin angry, "You know to come back now, where have you been hanging out all day, not even attending Xueyao’s wedding?"
Qin Mingxuan slanted his lips casually and smiled, "I heard the wedding was cancelled?"
"You!" Qin Xueyao angrily grabbed a cushion and threw it over, wishing she could smash Qin Mingxuan into pieces.
The wedding is her deepest pain, yet he just had to bring it up.
Ye Zhilin also slapped Qin Mingxuan on the head in hatred, "All you know is to hang out, a vixen entered the house, acting arrogantly over us, yet you don’t even know."
Qin Mingxuan widened his eyes in surprise, "What vixen, did Dad attract another lover?"
"You brat!" Qin Zhennan angrily stood up, glared at Qin Mingxuan, and walked out of the house in large strides.
The people in this house, in his eyes, none were of any real use.
After Qin Zhennan left, Ye Zhilin opened up and complained, "Mingxuan, you don’t know, that little bitch Gu Jiayin didn’t die, she’s alive and came back, making Xueyao’s wedding abort, now she’s hooked up with Sheng Qianchi; your sister’s marriage engagement isn’t secured anymore."
Qin Mingxuan had been busy leading punks to fight for territory, fight, bully decent girls, and didn’t really care about these things; now hearing that Gu Jiayin came back alive, he was so surprised he couldn’t close his mouth, "The vixen you were talking about is Gu Jiayin?"
"Yes." Ye Zhilin sighed, "Now, relying on Sheng Qianchi’s protection, she’s acting arrogantly in our Qin Family, hitting people as she pleases, her arrogance is outrageous!" Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novęlfire.net
Qin Mingxuan looked at the disheveled Qin Yishu and couldn’t help but laugh, "Mom, are you kidding, there’re so many bodyguards and servants at home, can a weak woman really succeed?"
