Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Making Trouble

Qin Yi’s eyes flashed with a cold light as he struggled to suppress the hostility in his heart.

He never intended to quarrel with this family; running into Qin Liangliang last time was purely accidental.

However, even though he didn’t go looking for trouble, this shameless family turned the tables and bullied him instead.

Family?

Qin Yi snorted disdainfully, do such people deserve to be called family?

This time, Qin Yi decided not to let them off easily.

Since they were asking for trouble, they shouldn’t blame Qin Yi for whether he slapped them with his hand or stomped on them with his foot.

Of course, he couldn’t act here. After all, these three also have the surname Qin.

Qin Yi could ignore any reproach from others, but he didn’t want Qin Wan’er to bear any infamy, especially since she still had to study here.

In fact, the people present weren’t fools either.

If these three were really as good as they claimed, having scrimped and saved to raise Qin Yi and his siblings, why would they make such a scene here?

Also, their appearances matched their greedy hearts; they looked like sneaky, treacherous types who didn’t seem like good people at all.

Qin Yi’s gaze was indifferent, and he felt nothing else in his heart. That stormy night when he was kicked out, this family had already severed its ties with him in his mind.

"Qin Guanghong, Li Guiju, since you brought this matter up yourselves, let’s settle it once and for all."

The three of them looked at Qin Yi in horror, wondering what he was going to do.

"Rest assured, I’m not like you; I’m not shameless, nor will I resort to underhanded tricks. I just want the truth."

"Back then, my parents’ pension and the 500,000 yuan compensation after my accident were all with you. It’s not hard to investigate this matter. I’ll have a lawyer retrieve every last penny."

The faces of Qin Guanghong and the other two changed dramatically, and they began to panic.

The money from back then could be traced, and they were Qin Yi’s guardians, yet they drove him and his sister out, which was illegal.

If this matter was thoroughly investigated, they wouldn’t just have to return the embezzled money; they’d also bear legal responsibility.

Qin Guanghong and Li Guiju exchanged glances, their expressions filled with panic.

"Well, Qin Yi, you misunderstood. We came today just to see Wan’er, nothing else."

Just after Qin Guanghong finished speaking, Li Guiju hurriedly added, "Qin Yi, we’re family after all. Is it really necessary to hire a lawyer? Can’t we just talk this out?"

Qin Yi sneered disdainfully, "Twist the truth, slander me and Wan’er, and call that having a good talk?"

Qin Guanghong wiped the blood from his forehead; he’d scratched his head when he fell to the ground earlier. He forced a dry smile, "Qin Yi, your uncle had a bit to drink before coming and was talking nonsense. Your uncle is old now; please don’t hold it against him..."

Li Guiju turned and pushed Qin Guanghong, admonishing, "I told you to drink less, and look what your big mouth did! We came to see Wan’er, and you’ve made a mess out of things?"

"It’s my fault, all my fault! Qin Yi, I’ll quit drinking as soon as I get back, I promise I’ll never drink again..."

Qin Yi sneered in disbelief; the shamelessness of this family exceeded his imagination.

The onlookers were also filled with disdain. It was now clear that these three were trying to extort money from Qin Yi and his sister after they had become successful; truly shameless.

"Remember your words, if you dare show up again, we’ll see each other in court."

Qin Yi said these words through gritted teeth; his nature didn’t allow him to be so generous. But for the sake of Qin Wan’er’s reputation, he had to endure his disgust and temporarily let this family of three go.

Besides, even though Qin Wan’er found this family of three disgusting, blood ties couldn’t be severed with just words; she would not allow herself to be tainted with her relatives’ blood.

"Qin Guanghong, you should be grateful for that pitiful blood relationship, or else..."

Qin Yi didn’t finish his sentence; he really wanted to send this family of three to the Eighteen Layers of Hell.

"Get out!"

Qin Yi let out a low roar, venting his anger.

Qin Guanghong and his family of three, as if granted amnesty, hurriedly fled in disgrace after profusely thanking him.

But from the expressions in their eyes, Qin Yi could tell they were not sincerely remorseful.

Qin Yi sighed slightly. Although he didn’t acknowledge them as family, those two words, "family," had saved this family’s life multiple times.

Qin Guanghong was his father’s biological brother; Qin Yi couldn’t bring himself to act, he simply couldn’t commit such a heartless deed.

Qin Wan’er also wouldn’t allow him to commit such an act of kin-slaying.

Qin Liangliang, this is your last chance, or I’ll really turn you into Qin Liangliang, mired in infamy, disgraced for eternity.

Qin Yi let out a heavy sigh and turned to Qin Wan’er, his eyes gentle, "Come on, let’s go home. Your sister-in-law said she’d make something delicious for dinner."

Qin Wan’er nodded with a faint smile, "Sister-in-law is really getting more and more outstanding. Her cooking skills are even better than mine now; I need to work harder too."

Just then, Xia Yanbing’s call came, saying that dinner was ready and asking where they were.

"I’ve picked up Wan’er; we’ll be home soon."

Qin Yi hung up the phone, got in the car with Qin Wan’er, and sped home.

Back home, Qin Yi didn’t bring up Qin Guanghong’s family, nor did Qin Wan’er... not because they forgot, but because saying it would feel disgusting and ruin the current delicious dinner.

...

The next morning.

Xia Yanbing first dropped Qin Wan’er off at school on her way, then went to the company.

When she parked her car and was about to enter the building, she saw a crowd gathered at the company entrance.

Curious, Xia Yanbing walked over and asked, "What are you all gathered here for?"

The crowd turned around upon hearing her voice, recognized it was Xia Yanbing, and each gave her a strange look as they parted to make way.

When Xia Yanbing looked, her face immediately turned ice-cold.

There were three unkempt people kneeling on the ground, each with a cardboard sign hanging from their necks with a few big words written in red, fearing others wouldn’t understand:

"Qin Yi, Uncle was wrong, please have mercy and give our family a way out."

"Qin Yi, if I offended you, you can take my life, but please spare my parents; they’re old and can’t withstand torment."

"Qin Yi, they’re all your family, only Uncle’s wife is not. You are of noble status now, we cannot provoke you, please give us a chance."

Xia Yanbing’s fingertips trembled slightly with anger.

This message conveyed was essentially that they didn’t know why they had offended Qin Yi; now that Qin Yi had become successful, he was forcing these poor relatives into a corner.

This was misleading, intending for people to fill in the blanks themselves.

Perhaps in the minds of those present, Qin Yi had become a tyrannical and shameless person, taking harsh measures against his family over a trivial matter.

Xia Yanbing’s pretty face turned cold, her fist clenched tightly; she had met Qin Liangliang and knew this family. They intended to ruin Qin Yi’s reputation, exploiting people’s fear of public opinion—what a vicious scheme!
