Chapter 349 – I’m a Stingy Man
“If this is the case, not only would you gain another extra daughter, the departed at the river Lethe would also rest in peace, what do you think about this, Mr. Qin?”
Dan Hanjie enunciated every word.
His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, as if stating facts—like those photos going viral on the Internet or the tips received by the newspaper were all a misunderstanding.
Even Qin Youxuan was taken aback when she heard what he had said.
She had never imagined that he would suggest such a solution.
“Once the news that you aren’t the Qin Family’s biological daughter is confirmed, no matter how much you try to clear your mother’s name, nobody will believe. If they firmly believe she got pregnant before marriage, had lost her virginity before marriage, and still married into the Qin family with you in her womb, her reputation would be completely tarnished.”
Dan Hanjie gently slid a finger over the astonished eyes of Qin Youxuan, his voice softer as if afraid to startle her.
“Aside from your mother, have you thought about the fact that once this issue spreads, it will affect the Jiang Family as well. Politicians most fear their skeletons falling into others’ hands. If not handled properly, both the Qin Family and you will become targets of the Jiang family to be quickly eliminated.”
His last few words were heavy.
Noticing Qin Youxuan tremble, he reached out to pull her into his arms for comfort.
Jin Chenye suddenly shouted, his elegant figure stepping forward decisively till he was right in front of Dan Hanjie.
His gentle gaze held its own against Dan Hanjie’s imposing aura, conceding very little despite his situation.
Jin Chenye was usually polite and gentle, this sudden change of demeanor didn’t seem out of place, as if this was how he should be.
This sharp aura made Qin Mo raise an eyebrow in surprise.
Even Qin Youxuan forgot to ask why, simply staring at him with wide eyes.
Meeting Jin Chenye’s fiery gaze, Qin Youxuan bit her lip and lowered her head, “I understand…”
Her little hand clenched in front of her, her eyes slightly red.
She had occupied Jin Chenye’s position for so many years, causing him to endure the cold treatment. Now that the truth had come out at last, it was only right for her to be kicked out. How could she continue to fancy being Miss Qin?
Originally, she didn’t care, just her mother’s reputation……..
She had to think of another way.
Qin Youxuan sniffed, lifting her head again, about to speak, but Jin Chenye beat her to it.
“I’ll find a way to lessen the damage this matter will do to your mother. But what I won’t allow is us going back to being siblings, I can’t treat you as my little sister. It was impossible in the past, and it will be more impossible in the future!”
Isn’t his disapproval due to his hatred for her?
She took his spot, made him the illegitimate child for so many years, even constantly picked on Jin Lan…….
“There is no better solution than mine unless you have ulterior motives, there’s no reason to reject,” Dan Hanjie’s voice was cold as he covered Qin Youxuan’s eyes, turning her face towards him.
He leaned down to whisper into her ear, “Qin Youxuan, I’ve told you, I won’t let you look at another man. I’m a jealous man.”
Qin Youxuan stared at him in stunned silence.
Even at this moment, he remembered to be jealous.
“I do have ulterior motives, Dan Hanjie. Dare you say than when you suggested such a solution, you had no selfish motives?!” Jin Chenye stared at the intimate pair in front of him, his teeth gritted in resentment.
This simple happiness was supposed to be his.
If they hadn’t ended up as siblings due to unforseen circumstances, they would never have broken up!
