Chapter 52 - Good Barkers Don’t Bite
Qin Yi’s career was still rising and she was hoping that Qin Yi would become a famous actor. How could she let Jing Qian leave now?
Mother Qin immediately stood in front of Jing Qian, a distressed expression on her face.
“Jing Qian, you’ve really disappointed me! Our family-”
Before she could finish her sentence, Jing Qian immediately interrupted her.
“I have never taken a single penny from you. Your disappointment is none of my business!”
Mother Qin and Qin Yi were both stunned by what they heard, and before they could react, Jing Qian continued.
“Great barkers don’t bite! MOVE!”
Qin Yi was completely mind-blown!
“Qianqian, how could you speak to my mother in that manner? She’s still your elder!”
Qin Yi got irritated as well, realizing that Jing Qian was out of control. He wanted to pull her back in her place, but with a different approach.
“When I wanted to be with you, she was indeed my elder. However, now that we’ve split, she’s nothing to me.”
Qin Yi was once again at a loss for words.
Qin Yi had no idea how to deal with Jing Qian, who was suddenly asking for a breakup with such venomous words. All that was now left was devastation and disbelief.
“Big sister, it really is my fault. Can you forgive me? I know that you’re just angry with me, but you still love Brother Qin. You can’t end things with Brother Qin just because you’re mad at me. It’s true that I spent the night here, but I stayed in the guestroom. If it bothers you, I’ll… I promise not to come here anymore, okay? Please don’t break up with Brother Qin… Please?”
“Since Jing Lu has already owned up to her mistake, and she’s your little sister, can’t you just forgive her? Aren’t you married as well? Qin Yi didn’t even break up with you when you decided to get married!”
Once again, Mother Qin butted her way into the conversation.
As he noticed Jing Qian’s smile grow while her eyes turned colder, Qin Yi’s heart started pounding, never having seen such a look on Jing Qian’s face.
“Mother, I’m the one who convinced Qianqian to marry into the Zhan family. It’s not her fault! You should blame me for that! I shouldn’t have let her marry someone else. I should have kept her by my side!”
With that, Qin Yi turned around and said to Jing Qian, “Qianqian, I’m sorry. This is all my fault. I promise that this will never happen again in the future. You are my one and only girlfriend, and the only woman that I will ever love in my entire life. Xiao Lu may have stayed over at my place last night, but I swear to god that I did not touch her. I’ll tell you my whereabouts and you can always look for me. You can punish me however you want as long as we don’t break up.”
“I can do whatever I want as long as we don’t break up?” Jing Qian asked sarcastically as she looked at Qin Yi’s affectionate expression.
“Yes! As long as we stay together, you can punish me however you want!” Qin Yi’s face, which was previously hopeless, suddenly glowed with possibility when he heard Jing Qian’s question.
“Okay then! From now on, I won’t be giving you any more money, nor will I be providing you with resources. Neither of you will be getting any more benefits from me from this day forward. That is my punishment for you!”
Hearing her declaration, everyone in the room turned pale within a blink of an eye.
“Big sister, How could you do this?! You’ve changed!” Jing Lu cried as tears rolled down her cheeks. “I’ve already apologized. Why are you being so unreasonable?”
“Am I the one that changed, or is it you? Are you addicted to taking other people’s belongings? Seducing your own sister’s boyfriend?! B*tch, you’re good at this! You slept with your sister’s boyfriend, apologized for it, and when you’re done with him, you just throw him back to me? What gives you the right to do this?!”
