Not only was Qin Han speechless, but even Qin Siling, standing by his side, was rendered speechless.
Gu Anxi was too terrifying!
Wasn’t she just sleeping and attending classes at school every day? How could she possibly have had time to do all this?
A computer genius, top of her class, Luo Lin, a Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry, Honorary Chairman of the Education Bureau, owner of An Pu Investment... and even Citibank and Qingcheng’s ’Emperor Color’ Club were all hers!
Qin Siling took a step back, looking like a beaten dog. Her dad was right; Gu Anxi ruled Qingcheng now! How did the Qin family lose such a treasure and instead pick up Wanqing, a mere imitation pearl? If they hadn’t been involved in that car accident, wouldn’t the Qin family have soared to great heights alongside the Gu family? Instead, they were now in such a miserable state!
However, regrets were useless; life had to move forward. The Qin family had to assign people to care for Old Master Qin while simultaneously managing the Qin Corporation’s affairs. After the divorce banquet and the auction, the Qin family was clearly showing signs of exhaustion and was in noticeable decline.
Reeling from the blow and terrified of further retaliation from Gu Anxi, Qin Han became completely demoralized. Within a few days, he had lost a significant amount of weight and later grew dependent on sleeping pills.
The Qin Corporation, once a dominant enterprise in Qingcheng, rapidly declined. Qin Han desperately tried to turn the tide, but he was ultimately powerless to stop it...
Under the tremendous pressure, the immense psychological disparity, and his inner terror, Qin Han committed suicide. He overdosed on sleeping pills and was already dead when discovered.
Various versions of the story circulated among the people of Qingcheng, but none could truly convey the Qin family’s sorrow.
Qin Siyuan sold his own company at a low price and took over the Qin Corporation.
In just half a month, he was the only capable man left in the Qin family. Qin Siling, overcome with grief and clenching her teeth in fury, wanted to find Gu Anxi for revenge, but Qin Siyuan stopped her. "Sis, don’t you understand yet? The Qin family brought this destruction upon itself; we can’t blame anyone else."
Qin Siling burst into tears. "Siyuan, how can you say that! What will you do in the future? I have to return to Beicheng eventually."
Qin Siyuan murmured, "Don’t worry. One day, I’ll be like her too—I won’t feel pain anymore."
Qin Siling was stunned, not understanding what he meant.
Meanwhile, Wanqing stood to the side, her expression somewhat wooden. When things were mostly settled, she quietly packed her belongings.
The Qin family was finished, clearly heading for bankruptcy, and Gu Anxi wouldn’t let them off easily. As for her and Qin Siyuan... it was better to give up. She had liked Qin Siyuan, truly liked him, but she couldn’t bury her own future here. Besides, the Qin family hadn’t treated her well, had they?
When she came downstairs with her luggage, Qin Siyuan was sitting there, seemingly waiting for her, yet he didn’t appear surprised at all.
Seeing her come down, Qin Siyuan asked calmly, "Ready to leave?"
Wanqing bit her lip. "Mm."
She didn’t tell him that a wealthy young heir had recently been pursuing her and had promised to support her further studies.
Wanqing was quite tempted. Although that family wasn’t as affluent as the Qins, they were still very well-off. Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩
However, just because she didn’t say anything didn’t mean Qin Siyuan was unaware.
He truly didn’t love her, but he felt a sense of responsibility. After what had happened, he hadn’t touched her nor had he spoken about it, unsure of what to do. Now, it seemed she had made the decision for him.
Qin Siyuan gave a faint smile, picked up a property deed and a bankbook from beside him, then stood up and placed them in her hand. "I bought the house where you used to live, so you’ll have a place to stay after you leave. And here’s five million; use it sparingly. It’s all I can give you right now."
Wanqing’s lips trembled.
She hadn’t expected Qin Siyuan to... treat her .
In that instant, she wanted to say she would stay, but she couldn’t bring herself to utter the words.
She had already been intimate with that wealthy heir. There was no turning back for her.
In the end, she tightly clutched what he had given her and whispered, "Thank you."
As she walked out, her steps faltered for a moment, and then she turned back.
Qin Siyuan was no longer looking at her. He sat there, his face veiled in the dim light...
