Chapter 324: Chapter 322: Oblivious to Death’s Approach

"She said Qin Kejing, that lunatic, has a crazy mind, fooling around outside, not knowing who got her pregnant, and still has the nerve to let our Shen family take the blame?"

A heap of humiliating and derogatory remarks.

Mrs. Shen is not someone to be trifled with. The Qin family had schemed against them time and again, so when they came to her, Mrs. Shen did not mince her words.

Qin Siyu and Zhou Rui lost all face at the Shen family’s and were then driven out.

With no other choice, Qin Siyu contacted the Taoist again, hoping to use unconventional means to kill Tan Liangfeng to prevent him from bullying Qin Kejing in the mental hospital.

The Taoist had helped them find the Taohua Fairy before, but they ended up ruining it, causing the Taohua Fairy to disappear. He was furious and didn’t want to help them.

Unless, Qin Siyu could offer a price that was tempting enough.

Hiring the Taohua Fairy had cost them five million, so this time Qin Siyu promised twenty million.

But the Qin family simply couldn’t produce twenty million. The company’s situation was getting worse, and recent earnings were very poor.

Qin Siyu scraped together money from here and there but only managed to gather eight million.

They were originally worried about how to raise funds, but tonight at the mall, having seen Qin Wan and Qin Zhao, he was struck with the idea to ask them for money.

"Qin Wan, our parents are already dead, shouldn’t we siblings support each other? We took such good care of Qin Yu when he was in college, but now that I’m in trouble, he won’t even answer my calls.

You surely wouldn’t be so heartless and ungrateful like him, after all, I raised your daughter for so many years."

When Qin Siyu realized threats were ineffective, he began to play on her sympathies.

"Jingjing is your niece, too. She’s having a hard time in the mental hospital. I thought I could grease some palms and get her out. Just think of it as me borrowing twenty million from you—I’ll repay it later!"

"Don’t say any more. I don’t have that much money."

This was indeed the truth, as Qin Wan had spent all her savings on cancer treatment.

The reason her life was so comfortable now was that Qin Zhao and Chu Yan often transferred her living expenses. But if they transferred too much, she would return some of it.

"How could you possibly have no money? The entertainment industry is so lucrative, and Qin Zhao has so many Weibo followers. She must be making millions a month, right? Even if it’s not twenty million, she must have ten million?

You go ask her for it, let her give the money to you, and then you lend it to me!"

Qin Wan sighed, with a hint of frustration in her eyes.

"Big brother, haven’t you figured it out yet? Qin Kejing committed murder. If it weren’t for her mental illness, she would be facing the death penalty! The incident last time was so big, so many people know she has broken the law.

Even if you had all the money in the world to bribe, no one would dare to release her!"

According to Qin Wan’s thinking, why bribe at all?

Since a crime was committed, one should face the corresponding punishment.

"But I can use this money to make her stay in the mental hospital more comfortable! Will you lend it to me or not? We raised your daughter for you; that’s not a debt that can just be repaid with money!"

"I don’t have money, all my money I already gave to you."

"Go ask Qin Zhao! Doesn’t she have a wealthy husband?!"

Zhou Rui recalled an occasion at a banquet and eagerly said, "You probably don’t know, Chu Yan is the CEO of a state-owned pharmaceutical company. He must have twenty million."

Qin Wan really didn’t know that Chu Yan was so wealthy for this reason.

"No matter how rich Chu Yan is, that’s their couple’s money, what does that have to do with you?"

"Twenty million is nothing to Chu Yan. What’s the big deal in helping me borrow some? Qin Zhao grew up with us, calling us ’Mom’ and ’Dad’ for so many years.

Qin Wan, you can’t be so ungrateful!"

Seeing that Qin Wan was unwilling to help him and impervious to his appeals, Qin Siyu was so frustrated that he slammed the table and stood up.

This attracted the attention of many onlookers.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Qin Wan was not afraid of what he might do.

"Calling yourselves ’parents,’ you really took that role to heart? Twenty years ago, I already gave you twenty million. How much that was worth back then, you are well aware.

After adopting Qin Zhao, did you ever show concern for her? It was me who cared.

Besides giving her food to eat and a roof over her head, what else have you done? Don’t use the grace of upbringing to threaten me; the twenty million I gave you has been long repaid."

Qin Wan stood up, her expression unexpectedly calm.

"Now that Qin Zhao knows I am her mother, she has nothing to do with you anymore! Don’t bother my daughter. Deal with your own problems by yourselves."

She saw Qin Zhao still waiting outside the café and walked towards the exit.

Qin Siyu glared bitterly at her retreating back, not willing to let her go just like that. He still wanted to milk her and Qin Zhao for some extra cash, considering how rarely he encountered them.

Under normal circumstances, neither Qin Zhao nor Qin Wan would answer his calls.

Driven by obsession, Qin Siyu chased after Qin Wan.

"You’re Jingjing’s aunt, can you really just stand by and watch her die? If my daughter has a rough time inside, don’t expect you and your daughter to end up any better!"

He grabbed Qin Wan, causing her to stumble as her leg injury had just recently healed.

Qin Zhao suddenly appeared at Qin Wan’s side and pushed Qin Siyu away, "Instead of bothering us here, you better worry about yourself first. You don’t even know you’re close to death."

Qin Siyu was startled by the coldness in Qin Zhao’s gaze and the daunting aura it carried.

He stood frozen in place for a while before finally snapping back to reality.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Exactly what it sounds like."

Qin Zhao supported Qin Wan as they left. When she first saw Qin Siyu that day, she had noticed something wrong with his appearance, indicating he might suffer a violent death soon.

She couldn’t be bothered to argue with a dead man.

Otherwise, based on what Qin Siyu had said in the café, she would have really shown him some color.

"Qin Wan, I know where you live, I’ll come find you again tomorrow."

Qin Siyu did not take Qin Zhao’s words to heart and instead shouted with a threatening tone.

"Zhaozhao, what is he planning?"

Qin Wan looked at Qin Zhao anxiously, her brow furrowed.

She felt that Qin Siyu’s emotions had been getting weirder and weirder recently, maybe due to his struggling career, then with his daughter’s incident, she worried that he might do something crazy.

"No worries, he won’t be able to cause trouble much longer. Don’t go out these next few days, just stay home and be safe."

Before leaving the mall, Qin Zhao bought a surveillance camera and installed it at Qin Wan’s front door. If someone unknown came knocking, she should check the surveillance first.

Additionally, she set up a protective Array in her home.

If any bad guys broke in, the Array would activate its capture function.

After doing all this, Qin Zhao stayed for dinner, and then she took a cab back home.

"Chu Yan, I bought you some autumn clothes."

As soon as she entered the house, she found not only Chu Yan but also his assistant Ling Yi.

Ling Yi twitched at the corner of his mouth when he saw what Qin Zhao was holding.

Great.

Tomorrow the boss will have something new to brag about.

But autumn clothes, how is he supposed to show those off?
