CHAPTER 16: CHAPTER 16: BOTH MEN ARE SO OUTSTANDING AND CONSIDERATE

Gu Jiayin leisurely sat on the sofa, casually placing her legs on the coffee table. She was also puzzled about why Qin Zhennan was accommodating her so much when she’d taken her mother’s surname, and Qin Zhennan had never considered her his child.

She was still unaware that the words Sheng Qianchi had left behind were at work.

Gu Jiayin deliberately yawned, "I’m tired and want to rest soon."

She was indeed tired, having slept very little last night.

Qin Zhennan ignored Qin Yishu’s pleading and ordered the butler, "Clear out a room immediately and prepare it."

"Yes," the butler hurriedly left with others.

The living room began to descend into an eerie silence.

Gu Jiayin sat on the sofa, eating an apple, while Ye Zhilin, Qin Yishu, and Qin Xueyao sat together, glaring at her with hatred. Qin Zhennan sat alone, frowning deeply.

Meanwhile, Qin Yiheng remained elegantly standing, his gaze seemingly and absentmindedly fixed on Gu Jiayin. If you examined closely, there was a hint of greed in that look.

He was the quintessential wolf in sheep’s clothing, outwardly appearing as a gentleman with a scholarly air, yet in his bones, he was filled with debauchery and lecherousness.

As he looked at Gu Jiayin, he was already imagining what it would be like to have her beneath him, overwhelmed by ecstasy.

He wanted a woman, and he didn’t care if there was a blood relationship or not.

He had been with countless women, but none like Gu Jiayin. Ever since she appeared at the wedding, she had been teasing his heart.

...

While waiting for the room, servants brought in two large boxes successively.

One was sent by Sheng Qianchi, and the other by Pei Nianchen.

They had provided Gu Jiayin with changes of clothes, shoes, and daily necessities.

These two men indeed shared the same thoughtfulness, knowing she returned in a hurry without bringing anything, and she was still wearing the red dress from earlier.

In truth, Gu Jiayin was no longer the young lady of the past. The title of Licheng City’s number one socialite had long since faded. Throughout these years, coming and going through storms, she had long ceased to be so particular.

Tonight, she could make do and planned to go to the mall tomorrow, but unexpectedly, Sheng Qianchi and Pei Nianchen had both prepared everything for her.

The actions of Sheng Qianchi and Pei Nianchen once again provoked Qin Yishu and Qin Xueyao. Looking at the two large boxes on the floor, they wished they could set them on fire and burn Gu Jiayin along with them.

However, Qin Zhennan had a complex expression, with his gaze constantly shifting. This daughter was the one he detested the most, once wishing she would disappear from the world entirely.

Her existence represented his shame, the shame of being a live-in son-in-law.

But at this moment, it seemed she still had valuable use.

Qin Yiheng remained gentle in appearance, but his heart was cold. The woman he wanted to lay hands on was being watched by two such powerful men.

Ye Zhilin, who had already applied ointment, could barely speak. Her chest heaved with anger, and through gritted teeth, she spat out three words, "Vixen!"

"Hahaha..." Gu Jiayin leaned against the sofa, feeling an indescribable joy, laughing wantonly. Her laughter was as melodious as wind chimes, "Mrs. Qin, thank you for the compliment. Snatching my sister-in-law and seducing my brother-in-law, I am indeed a vixen without shame."

She gracefully got up, walked over to the two large boxes, took a fruit knife to cut open the seals, and then took out the contents one by one, placing them on the floor.

She was not interested in these things but did it purely to spite Ye Zhilin and her two daughters, making them furious, which gave her satisfaction.

Before long, the items from the boxes were spread out all over the floor, divided into two sections: one for Sheng Qianchi’s gifts and the other for Pei Nianchen’s.

Clothes, shoes, cosmetics, toiletries, both men had thoughtfully prepared everything, and all were luxury brands. Being such men, they were naturally generous.

To Gu Jiayin, Pei Nianchen was now a lover reuniting after a split, whereas Sheng Qianchi remained a stranger. Naturally, she preferred to use Pei Nianchen’s gifts.

But to provoke Ye Zhilin and her daughters, she also treated Sheng Qianchi’s gifts like treasures.

She stood in the middle of the two areas, admiring them, "Sheng Qianchi and Pei Nianchen are both so considerate. It’s really hard to choose, how should I use the things they sent?"

"Enough!" Qin Xueyao was the first to explode. She stood up in anger, like a peacock with feathers on display, "Someone, throw all these things out and throw Gu Jiayin out too."

The servants standing behind Ye Zhilin had been on standby for a long time.

Leading them was a middle-aged woman, stout and strong, who had been with Ye Zhilin for years and was adept at abetting wrongdoing. Once Qin Xueyao gave the order, she was the first to charge forward, grabbing Gu Jiayin’s arm, pinching and pulling, ready to throw her out.

Other servants began to clean up the items on the floor.

Qin Zhennan chose to remain silent. Ye Zhilin and her daughters eagerly awaited to trample Gu Jiayin beneath their feet, and the atmosphere in the living room grew increasingly tense.

However...

Crunch!

A crisp sound of bone cracking pierced through everyone’s eardrums.

No one saw clearly what Gu Jiayin did, but the middle-aged woman beside her had already fallen to the ground, her arm like a broken kite, no longer under her control, writhing on the floor in pain.

It was clear that Gu Jiayin had snapped the middle-aged woman’s wrist.

This ruthless and decisive move was like a thunderclap in a clear sky, shocking the Qin Family members into standing up, looking at Gu Jiayin in disbelief.

Previously, when she scalded Ye Zhilin and injured Qin Yishu, it could be seen as opportunistic, but now, no one could deny she knew martial arts.

Qin Zhennan looked at Gu Jiayin in confusion, "Jiayin, what work have you been doing in Suri these years?"

Gu Jiayin casually touched her hair, smiled and said, "A detective, a Royal Detective, specializing in catching bad guys."

The Suri Royal Police were renowned worldwide.

Ye Zhilin and her daughters were left speechless with fear.

Gu Jiayin glanced at Ye Zhilin, Qin Yishu, and Qin Xueyao with disdain, then turned gracefully, "Move everything for me. I appreciate the kindness of Young Master Sheng and Brother Nianchen. I’ll use Sheng Qianchi’s gifts on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and Brother Nianchen’s on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays."

These words made Qin Yishu and Qin Xueyao so envious and resentful they could hardly contain their frustration.

After Gu Jiayin left, Qin Yishu looked pale as she turned to Qin Zhennan, "Dad, Gu Jiayin is too dangerous. Do you really want to keep her at home?"

"Yeah, Dad, are you just going to let her walk all over us?" Qin Xueyao also spoke nervously.

Qin Zhennan sighed and said helplessly, "What can we do? You saw it too. Sheng Qianchi and Pei Nianchen are both protecting her, and we can’t afford to offend either of those two. Besides, we’ve acknowledged this daughter publicly today. If she’s driven out, what will the world say about us?"

Thinking of the two ruined marriages, Ye Zhilin felt her back prickle with needles, "That bitch!"
