Chapter 351
The abuse from the live stream quickly spilled over onto the internet. By the time Wan Sitong checked her phone, it was already vibrating incessantly with a flood of hateful messages.
The online storm she had orchestrated against Qin Yi had now turned against her, and she had effectively sealed her own fate with her actions.
Once, her future had seemed bright, with the potential to become a renowned singer and make a name for herself.
But now, she would be remembered throughout Y City as the ungrateful, heartless betrayer.
This time, Wan Sitong couldn't hold it together any longer and broke down in tears.
As the police dragged her away, she turned to Qin Yi and cried out, "Do you really hate me that much? Was all the care you showed me in the past just a lie? Are you so cruel that you don't even want me to live?"
Her final reaction left everyone stunned.
[Is she implying that what she did to Qin Yi only ruined his reputation, which is insignificant, but if Qin Yi retaliated in the same way, her entire life would be destroyed? So, in comparison, Qin Yi is the crueler one?]
The Qin Second family: What a twisted logic! She’s completely unrepentant.
Qin Xian believed that someone like her would never reflect on her actions, so he decided to hire the best lawyer for this case to ensure her prison sentence would be as long as possible, delaying her return to society and her potential to cause more harm.
After all, everyone must face the consequences of their actions.
When faced with Wan Sitong's final question, Qin Yi no longer held back. He replied coldly, "I think you really want to live, considering you were the one who called the ambulance for yourself."
This was the first time anyone had heard Qin Yi speak with such biting sarcasm.
Wan Sitong was completely shattered. Her hypocritical, obsessive love was laid bare in that moment, met with nothing but ridicule.
The onlookers also realized the truth: if she had truly been driven mad by love, would she have called the ambulance to save herself?
To put it bluntly, if someone else had discovered her suicide attempt and called for help, she might have gained a bit more sympathy.
In the end, Wan Sitong kept crying and insisting that she truly loved Qin Yi, but everyone who heard her dismissed it as nonsense.
The false accusation incident came to a quiet close.
It wasn’t until everyone left that they learned the live stream had been Ji Fei's idea.
The Qin family looked at Ji Fei in surprise.
Ji Fei smiled and explained, "When I arrived, I noticed a lot of media personnel, including some who were doing live streams. I thought waiting for the police to handle things would take too long, and justice delayed is justice denied. Reputations can’t be salvaged if the truth comes too late. So, I secretly brought a streamer in to reveal the truth on the spot. After all, only when the parties involved speak up will those who were deceived realize they’ve been fooled."
Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward, smiling. "Thank you, sister-in-law. I really owe you one this time."
Ji Fei waved her hand dismissively. "It’s just experience from being a celebrity in the mainland."
At this, Qin Zhao immediately asked, "Were we filmed just now?"
Ji Fei reassured him, "I warned the streamer. He wouldn’t dare. After all, he snuck into the police station to do the live stream, so he wouldn’t risk showing anyone’s face. At most, he only filmed the video evidence and Wan Sitong."
Before coming, Sister Pei, her manager, had reminded her that in Y City, their fame wasn’t as widespread as in the mainland. While they could enjoy some freedom here, being caught on a live stream could easily lead to exposure. If it spread back to the mainland, it might not be a big deal, but it would undoubtedly stir up a media frenzy.
Sister Pei was currently handling several major projects and didn’t have time to deal with Ji Fei’s antics, so she had urged her boss not to cause any trouble.
Ji Fei wanted to enjoy her time as a free spirit in Y City and wasn’t ready to step back into the public eye just yet.
[Thankfully, I warned the streamer beforehand, hinting that if he broadcasted anyone’s face without permission, he could face legal action. The local streamer wouldn’t dare offend the Qin family, so the risk of exposure was minimal. The only real concern was if people found out about my reputation as the "Judge of the Entertainment Industry" and the "Gossip Queen of the Rich and Famous." If that got out, it would be hard to enjoy any juicy gossip in the future.]
Hearing Ji Fei’s mutterings, the Qin Second family struggled to hold back their laughter. So, she was worried about her identity being exposed and people being on guard, making it harder for her to indulge in gossip? Hilarious.
Qin Xian took Ji Fei’s hand, leading her out with a smile on his face.
[It’s such a bizarre coincidence. Not long after I arrived, both of my aunt’s children got into trouble. And looking at Qin Jiaxi’s demeanor, I have a feeling something else is about to happen. Do I really have some kind of supernatural aura? Will the Qin family start seeing me as a jinx?]
The Qin Second family didn’t like hearing that. To them, Ji Fei was their lucky star.
Without her help, they wouldn’t have known what challenges they might have faced.
If they had remained oblivious, some of them might have continued living their lives, but they would never have been truly happy. Given the choice, they would rather face the painful truth head-on than live in ignorance and regret later.
Even Qin Wenqiang had repeatedly expressed her gratitude, saying how fortunate they were to have Qin Xian and Ji Fei.
This time, if it hadn’t been for Ji Fei’s quick thinking with the live stream, Qin Yi wouldn’t have been able to escape unscathed.
So, they didn’t want Ji Fei to think of herself in such a negative light.
The family members exchanged meaningful glances, urging Qin Xian to reassure her.
Qin Xian didn’t need their prompting. Hearing her thoughts, he pulled Ji Fei closer and said gently, "Feifei, you’re the blessing of our family. Without you, we wouldn’t know what would have happened. Please continue to shine your light on us." He then kissed her forehead.
Ji Fei was instantly dazzled by his charm.
Back at the Qin family estate, the details of Qin Yi’s ordeal naturally couldn’t be kept hidden.
After the elders learned the full story, they heaped praise on Ji Fei.
When the Qin family elders praised someone, it wasn’t just empty words—it came with tangible rewards.
The patriarch made the announcement, and Grandma Lv personally retrieved a box of antique jewelry from the safe, presenting it to Ji Fei with a proud smile. The sight of the priceless treasures made Ji Fei’s eyes light up.
But it wasn’t until she returned to her room that Ji Fei realized the true significance of the jewelry.
It was the heirloom of Qin Xian’s late grandmother.
By giving it to her, they were implicitly acknowledging Ji Fei as the future matriarch of the Qin family.
Ji Fei was genuinely surprised. "I thought there would be some kind of intense test or something."
Qin Xian, who was helping Ji Fei look up the current market value of the jewelry (since his wife loved that kind of thing), replied, "You already are the matriarch. No test is needed. These were always meant to be yours."
Ji Fei looked at the box of jewelry and pondered for a moment. "Should we keep these as heirlooms, or…"
Qin Xian hesitated before finally saying, "If you want to sell them, I can help you find a discreet buyer. Just don’t let Grandpa find out."
Ji Fei: "…Do you really think I’m that kind of person?"
Qin Xian gave her an innocent look, knowing full well that Ji Fei had a preference for gold.
Ji Fei laughed and lay down, wrapping her arms around Qin Xian’s waist. "I just think good things should be shared. Today, Grandpa only rewarded me, and it made me feel a bit awkward. Everyone contributed, and even though I know these were meant for the Qin family matriarch, I think…"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"You want to give some to the others?"
"Jewelry is meant to be worn. It’s only fair to share it with the women of the Qin family."
Qin Xian smiled and ruffled her hair. He knew this gesture meant she truly saw his siblings as her own family.
"Alright, as long as it makes you happy."
Ji Fei immediately jumped up and made the rounds, giving pieces of jewelry to each of the Qin sisters. As for those who weren’t present, she decided to leave it for another time. This wasn’t about currying favor—it was simply a case of sharing the spoils with those who were there.
When Qin Jiaxi received her bracelet, her eyes lit up.
It wasn’t so much about the value of the jewelry, but the feeling of being included, of being one of the sisters.
Little did she know, wearing it would soon lead to trouble.
