nNot far from the minivan, a Maybach stopped.

nThe man in the car got out and respectfully opened the door for Jiang Yi. Looking at the red mark on her face, he looked worried. “Madam, are you okay?”

nJiang Yuxiao pushed the reporter away and walked over. When she saw the man’s respectful look, her face immediately turned ugly as if she had eaten a fly.

nThis was Gong Xueming, the president of the hotel branch under the Qin Group. It had not been easy for Hengjiang restaurant and the Qin Hotel to negotiate a partnership, but it was because she had tried her best to get into his good books a few months ago.

nJiang Yi placed her hand on the car door and turned to look at Jiang Yuxiao. She said calmly, “Hengjiang restaurant’s cooperation has been suspended. At the moment, we will not consider working with them unless….”

nThe lazy tone of her voice dragged on for a while, causing Gong Xueming and Jiang Yuxiao’s hearts to rise.

n“Unless… she kneels down and begs me.”

nJiang Yi got into the car. Jiang Yuxiao stood there trembling with anger. “Jiang Yi, in your dreams!”

nAs Jiang Yi left, the reporters who had suddenly arrived also left.

n

n

nThe next day, all the major financial news outlets were reporting on the matter of Hengjiang’s Vice President slapping the young madam of the Qin family. The language was extremely exaggerated, and there was also a photo of Jiang Yi with a slap mark on her face.

nImmediately after, all the hotels under the Qin Corporation stopped working with the restaurant that was being renovated. They also chased away the staff of Hengjiang and did not allow the restaurants under the Hengjiang Corporation to stay in the hotel premises.

nThe Qin Corporation’s hotels were all over the country. Hengjiang had spent a lot of effort to get this cooperation and had invested tens of billions. The Qin Corporation’s sudden termination of the partnership had undoubtedly caused heavy losses.

nHengjiang held a board meeting overnight and even called Jiang Yuxiao, the Vice President.

n“Chairman Jiang, congratulations. When did your daughter become Mrs. Qin? Why didn’t you say anything? If we had known earlier, we wouldn’t have spent so much effort to please the people of the Qin Corporation.”

nOne of the directors looked at the man in the main seat. Although his words sounded pleasant, it seemed to be gloating.

nIn the entire S City, who didn’t know that the second daughter of the richest family was mentally ill?

nWhen she fell ill, she could stab her own father to death.

nChairman Jiang’s face was gloomy, and he didn’t speak.

n“I say, Yuxiao, we are all sisters. What did you do to her?”

nSomeone looked at Jiang Yuxiao reproachfully. “Second Master Qin’s health has always been bad. He suddenly died and gave all his wealth and the shares of the Qin Corporation to Jiang Yi.”

nWhat was the status of the Qin Corporation in the capital city? Could they afford to offend them? “Now that Jiang Yi is worth 80 billion, you’ve slapped her and caused our Hengjiang stock price to plummet. Our market value has been wiped out by tens of billions. What’s the point!”

n“And the cooperation with the Qin Hotel… we can’t lose any more!”

n“Yuxiao, listen to your uncle’s advice and apologize.”

nJiang Yuxiao was standing next to Chairman Jiang. Now, she threw the documents in her hands onto the table. Her expression was uncertain. “I think this Second Master Qin is not only crippled, he’s also blind!”

nWho wouldn’t be acceptable if he liked Jiang Yi, this lunatic!

nWhen the Hengjiang Group held the board meeting, Jiang Yi left S City. She returned to the capital with Gong Xueming to attend Qin Jinchen’s funeral.

nJiang Yi was 21 years old this year. Qin Jinchen died not long after he received his certificate.

nHer beautiful almond-shaped eyes were bright like an infant, pure and without impurities. Jiang Yi wore a black one-piece dress and tied up her long hair.

nShe looked less like a student. Her eyes were cold, gloomy and filled with hostility.

nHer world-weary and unapproachable appearance made those who were concerned about Qin Jinchen’s inheritance not dare to approach her.

nJiang Yi’s skin was colder and paler than a normal person’s. Her beautiful and delicate little face had no color or expression. Those who didn’t know would think that she was sad for Qin Jinchen.

nOn the other hand, the other members of the Qin family were glowing red. If it were not for the white cloth on their arms, others would have thought that they were attending a wedding banquet.

nQin Jinchen’s biological father, the head of the Qin family, only came to take a look. He did not even speak to Jiang Yi, the widow, before he left with his people. It was as if the one who died was not his son.

n“Second sister-in-law, the deceased has passed away. You must take care of your health.”

nSomeone went up to comfort her. Jiang Yi nodded and said, “Thank you for your concern, Big Brother.”

nThe eldest young master of the Qin family looked over her face and asked, “Is the injury on your face better?”

n“It’s fine.”

nThe two of them stood in front of the memorial tablet in silence. After a long time, the eldest young master’s voice came slowly, “Second sister-in-law, you can keep that bit of money with you. It will be enough for you to be rich and noble for the rest of your life. However, the shares of the Qin family are not suitable for an outsider like you.”

nEldest Master Qin turned his head and looked over, “Second sister-in-law, don’t you think so?”

nJiang Yi did not speak. Her long and thick black eyelids drooped and there was a faint trace of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.

n“Second sister-in-law.” Eldest Master Qin pointed at the group of Qin family members behind him, “Look at those people. None of them have good intentions. These shares in your hands are not good things. They are life-threatening talismans.”

n“Don’t worry, Big Brother. I will cherish my life very much.”

nYoung Master Qin thought that Jiang Yi was willing to hand over the shares, so he revealed a satisfied smile.

n“Father even mentioned the matter of Hengjiang yesterday. That half-sister of yours is really too much.” He straightened his suit and turned to leave. “Don’t worry. No one can bully my Qin family members.”

nAs the eldest young master of the Qin family left, the others also left.

nJiang Yi turned her head and looked away.

nSo what if she wasn’t a member of the Qin family?

nThere was no reason for her to spit out what was in her hands!

nJiang Yi didn’t need to take care of Qin Jinchen’s funeral. Someone would arrange everything properly. However, Jiang Yi stayed a little longer after the ashes were buried.

nShe met Qin Jinchen in that mental hospital. As early as a year ago, Jiang Yi wanted to return to S City. She couldn’t stand to see the Jiang family so carefree.

nHowever, Qin Jinchen had said that he needed a wife. He had used all means to bring her to the capital and had insisted on marrying her.

nHe was a crippled man with a broken leg. He was in a wheelchair all year round. Although he was beautiful, Jiang Yi was a person with a cold personality and very low empathy.

nShe had never pitied Qin Jinchen. Instead, she wanted to kill him at all times.

nThere were many pitiful people in this world. Qin Jinchen had lost both his legs, but he was still a cripple with money and power. If she had compassion, she would feel even more pity for those crippled people who had no money or power and could only beg on the streets.

nMoreover, Qin Jinchen had a strange and eccentric personality. He was temperamental. When Jiang Yi wanted to run back to S City, he caught her and had people threaten her with chainsaws. He said that he would turn her into a cripple as well. The two of them would become a disabled couple.

nThat night, Jiang Yi went into his bedroom and stabbed him in the heart with a fruit knife. She was just a few centimeters away from killing him.

nAfter that, there were two bodyguards guarding the door of Qin Jinchen’s bedroom all year round. They would not let Jiang Yi in and out as she pleased.

nBoth of them were cold and cruel people. They could not keep each other warm, let alone develop feelings for each other.

nHow could such a scourge die?

nJiang Yi lit three incense sticks and stared blankly at the light smoke rising up. The photo on the tombstone seemed to have blurred.

nHow did he die?!

nShe suddenly exerted force and snapped the three incense sticks in half. An irrepressible frustration rose in her eyes. Then, she threw the incense stick on the ground and kicked the tombstone hard.

n“Who the f*ck cares about your little money?!”

nThere was a clear footprint on the black-and-white picture. Jiang Yi seemed to be angry. She kicked again and even knocked over all the tributes in front of the tombstone.

nWhen Jiang Yi left, Gong Xueming still stood there with lingering fear.

nHe had just become the CEO of the Qin Hotel this year. In the past, he had always worked by the second master’s side. He had seen Jiang Yi’s manic episode. It was terrifying.

nUntil someone called him.

n“Hello, second master.” Gong Xueming lowered his voice.

n“How is she?”

n“Madam, she…”

n

n

n“Is she sad?”

n“She doesn’t look very sad, but she had an episode. Her footprints are all over the tombstone photos.” Gong Xueming turned his head and took a step back in fear. “She… she’s bringing a shovel over now! Don’t tell me she’s going to dig the grave!!”

nQin Jinchen: “…”

nThis little ancestor!

nJiang Yi dug up Qin Jinchen’s grave and was caught red-handed by the people sent by Patriarch Qin. She then carried Qin Jinchen’s “ashes” and lay in the pit, tears silently flowing down her face.

nHer voice was a little sorrowful. “Jinchen, if you leave, what will happen to me and the child…”

nGong Xueming and Butler Qin were shocked.

nChild? What child?!

nQin Jinchen on the other end of the phone: “!!”

nHe had just died, and he had been cheated on?!
