CHAPTER 122: CHAPTER 122: FANNING THE FLAMES AFTER THE SHOW

The woman, hair disheveled, completely naked, her body covered with bruised love bites, walked with a wavering, shaky gait.

In short, everything indicated that she had just been intensely loved by a man.

Looking at her face, her cheeks red and bearing clear fingerprints, it was evident she had just been slapped by Qin Yiheng.

Indeed, Qin Yiheng, upon hearing the commotion outside the door, knew that Qin Yishu and Qin Xueyao had arranged everything. Satisfied, he reached to turn on the room’s main light, only to discover that the woman lying in bed was not Gu Jiayin.

It wouldn’t have mattered if it wasn’t Gu Jiayin, it would just mean the plan failed, but this woman happened to be Yingying.

Lately, everyone knew that Yingying was Qin Zhennan’s woman.

A father and son sharing a woman—not to mention how scandalous that sounds—what would Qin Zhennan think of him? Would he rashly disinherit him and pass Twilight down to Qin Yishu instead?

He didn’t think; he just slapped Yingying a few times and even tried to strangle her, wishing to end her life then and there.

Yingying, unable to bear the humiliation and beating, ran to the door without even putting on clothes, struggling to pull it open.

When the door opened, the scene before her eyes scared her into absolute silence.

The sudden change made her forget she was naked. Seeing Qin Zhennan, she rushed into his arms as if finding a savior, crying out loudly, "Mr. Qin, save me, the master wants to kill me!"

No one sympathized with this wretched-looking woman; everyone was just watching the spectacle.

Some onlookers even jeered, "Mr. Qin, father and son sharing a woman—you’re setting a new trend for Licheng City’s high society."

Qin Zhennan couldn’t defend himself, feeling as though all his dignity had been thrown to the ground, nearly gritting his teeth to bits in hatred.

Soon, Qin Yiheng, hurriedly dressed, rushed out to desperately explain, "Dad, this woman set me up."

Yingying, clinging to Qin Zhennan’s neck, shook her head vigorously, "No, no, Mr. Qin, I didn’t set up the master, it was Gu..."

She wanted to say Gu Jiayin set her up, but before she could finish, Qin Zhennan already shoved her aside forcefully, watching her fall with no trace of past tenderness, kicking her over, "You wretched woman, dreaming the impossible!"

He then summoned a bodyguard, "Take this wretched woman back to Licheng City overnight and dump her anywhere, never let her appear before me again."

The bodyguards quickly stepped forward, gagged Yingying’s mouth, and dragged her away.

Though Yingying had pleased him greatly, in such a situation, his first thought was to sacrifice her to preserve the last shred of Qin Family’s dignity, which was as thin as a cicada’s wing.

"Dad, I..." Qin Yiheng, a bit timid, looked at Qin Zhennan, really fearing he’d lose the entire Twilight because of this woman.

Qin Zhennan, keeping a stern face on purpose, said, "Going out to play, you must always stay alert; being drugged by a woman is nothing to boast about."

Then he turned to look at everyone, smiling awkwardly, "Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve seen enough, it’s just a lowly secretary, let’s disperse."

Though smiling, his face felt like it was burning from being slapped several times. Qin Mingxuan had already made the Qin Family a laughingstock, and Qin Yiheng left him ashamed and indignant.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of having no heirs to follow.

Others couldn’t forcefully watch any longer and left with inscrutable smiles, which made Qin Zhennan’s heart tremble with hatred.

Sheng Qianchi, however, let out a low laugh, the sarcasm too thick, "Miss Qin really is amusing. If your father’s house is on fire, that’s your family’s business to watch, and yet you came up to the sixth floor to drag me down here. Getting pregnant has really made you silly."

Qin Xueyao bit her lip in shame, hoping desperately to turn the page quickly.

But Gu Jiayin, with alluring eyes, added insult to injury, "Master Qin, although being drugged makes it hard to control desires, when you were so ruthlessly ravaging Yingying, did you not consider she was your father’s woman?"

Stirring up trouble.

Sure enough, Qin Zhennan’s face darkened another degree.

After speaking, Gu Jiayin didn’t linger, leaving with Sheng Qianchi.

Finally, only the Qin Family remained in the corridor.

"Snap!"

"Snap!"

Qin Zhennan could no longer contain the anger burning inside him, slapping both Qin Yiheng and Qin Yishu. If not for considering Qin Xueyao’s pregnancy, she wouldn’t have been spared either.

"Brainless!" Qin Zhennan hurled at Qin Xueyao with a shout.

He turned, panting heavily, marching to his room, leaving a command behind, "Everyone, come in with me!"

Qin Yiheng, Qin Yishu, and Qin Xueyao exchanged glances, blaming each other, and entered Qin Zhennan’s room.

As the door slammed shut, Qin Zhennan, in a fit of rage, smashed several teacups, pointing repeatedly at the three standing in front of him, loudly reprimanding, "A bunch of idiots! Who let you provoke Gu Jiayin again? Have you turned a deaf ear to what I’ve said?"

Qin Yishu, covering her swollen cheek, defended herself aggrievedly, "Dad, we planned everything flawlessly. How could the person in my brother’s room become Yingying?"

Qin Xueyao echoed, "Yes, the person I arranged watched Gu Jiayin enter my brother’s room with their own eyes."

Qin Zhennan couldn’t figure out how Gu Jiayin pulled the switch, just like Ye Zhilin suddenly inexplicably went blind, there was no way to trace it.

He waved his hand irritably, "Enough, stop causing trouble, none of you are allowed to provoke Gu Jiayin without my permission from now on."

Qin Xueyao protested, "Should we just let Gu Jiayin bask in her glory?"

For Qin Xueyao, Qin Zhennan had a slightly better attitude. In his eyes, this daughter was the only one in this family who still had some ambition; no matter what, she was pregnant with the Pei Family’s child, which was a money tree.

Therefore, he softened his tone, "Of course, we won’t let her bask for long. I will come up with a thorough plan to eliminate her. You focus on nurturing the fetus and give birth to the child safely."

Qin Xueyao proudly stroked her belly, looking at Qin Yiheng and Qin Yishu who had both gotten slapped, she smiled triumphantly, "Got it, Dad. It’s been confirmed, I have a son in here, your grandson is sure to bring you unimaginable benefits in the future."

Qin Zhennan nodded with satisfaction.

Then recalling Gu Jiayin’s final words, anger surged again in his heart, the more he looked at Qin Yiheng, the more displeased he became, his words suddenly filled with unprovoked sharpness,

"Qin Yiheng, do you think now that Mingxuan can’t come out, Twilight will inevitably be yours in the future? So you don’t regard me as your father, hmm?"

Afraid of what might happen, Qin Yiheng looked up frightened, imploringly at Qin Zhennan, "Dad, I truly didn’t know the person in bed was Yingying; it was dark with no lights on at the time."

Qin Zhennan snorted coldly, "Even if it wasn’t Yingying, you and Jiayin are still related by blood. Obsessing over her all day, aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

Qin Yiheng chuckled, "Dad, we’re all one family, no need for deception. Yishu told me, Jiayin isn’t your daughter."
