My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 438: 438: Do Not Seek Gratitude and Reciprocation, But Do Not Stab in the Back Either (First Update)

The Yin Family’s villa.

It was past midnight.

Qin Keqin was standing in the bedroom corridor, with Ji Baixing standing at the door of Yin Qin and Luo Xiaolang’s room.

The light at night was a bit dim.

Under the backlit reflection, Qin Keqin’s appearance at this moment was not very clear.

Ji Baixing pulled out a smile in the corner of her mouth, “Auntie.”

“Why are you here so late?” Qin Keqin asked straightforwardly.

“I just brought Yin Qin home, he was out for dinner with his project team and got drunk.” Ji Baixing explained.

“Why did you have to bring him home?” Qin Keqin continued to ask. The dim light didn’t allow her to fully see Qin Keqin’s expression.

But at that moment, Ji Baixing could vaguely sense some irritation in Qin Keqin.

She said with a smile, “Everyone was drunk, so I brought him home.”

“If it was everyone, why did you just escort him?” Qin Keqin raised her eyebrows.

Her tone was light but somewhat aggressive.

“We are quite close.” Ji Baixing replied.

“Really?” Qin Keqin seemed to smile a little, she said, “I thought Miss Ji suddenly had a change of heart towards our Yin Qin, it scared me. Knowing you’re still not into him puts me at ease.”

Ji Baixing looked at Qin Keqin.

Qin Keqin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, “It’s late, Miss Ji should go home. For a girl to be at a man’s place, a married man’s, at this late hour, it wouldn’t look good if word gets out. I’m not concerned about it impacting my son’s reputation, mainly, for a young lady like Miss Ji to get saddled with the reputation of pursuing a married man would be truly wrong.”

Ji Baixing’s face changed slightly.

Of course, she could hear the sarcasm in Qin Keqin’s words.

She said directly, “Auntie, you’re overthinking it, I, Ji Baixing, am not that kind of person!”

“I would have guessed so. Miss Ji has always been courteous and proud. How could she fancy my good-for-nothing fool of a son? Especially considering Miss Ji, a well-known designer, the heiress of the Jin City Consortium and a socialite, had once sworn in front of the media that she has no feelings for my son at all. If she were with my son now, wouldn’t she be slapping her own face? As such, a notable person like Miss Ji surely wouldn’t do anything embarrassing.”

“Auntie, you don’t need to be sarcastic, I’m not interested in your son.”

“I hope you walk the talk.” Qin Keqin said, enunciating each word.

Ji Baixing gritted her teeth, turned around and left.

She had always held her own high values and inviolable dignity, she couldn’t stand such sarcasm.

She walked downstairs.

Looking at her retreating figure, Qin Keqin added, “Luo Xiaolang once almost lost his life trying to save you. I’m not asking that you show gratitude but please, Miss Ji, don’t stab him in the back!”

Ji Baixing paused for a moment.

The next second, she quickly walked away.

Qin Keqin just watched Ji Baixing’s retreating figure.

She knew Ji Baixing too well. With her prideful character, she wouldn’t do anything to get close to Yin Qin unless she liked him. She knew it from the first glance, the moment she saw Ji Baixing helping Yin Qin back to the villa, she knew that this woman had feelings for Yin Qin.

This wasn’t good news.

Xiaolang was not a person who would fight for himself, and Yin Qin was a person who could have no limits when it came to Ji Baixing. If things continued in this way, Xiaolang would sooner or later be tortured by Ji Baixing.

Thinking of this possibility, Qin Keqin felt so angry that her chest hurt.

If Yin Qin really dared to let Xiaolang down for Ji Baixing, she would definitely sever ties with him.

“Qin Keqin!” Suddenly, an angry male voice sounded behind her.

Qin Keqin turned around and saw Yin Bin with messed up hair, wearing messy pajamas, and looking very unhappy.

Qin Keqin frowned.

Yin Bin ran over in two or three steps, grabbed her hand, “Where have you been, do you know how worried I was?”

What a neurotic!

She just got up to get a drink of water, was this guy performing a melodrama?!

Qin Keqin said dumbfoundedly, “I was just feeling thirsty and came downstairs to get a glass of water.”

Indeed, in the middle of the night she suddenly felt thirsty and decided to go downstairs to get some water. And that’s when she saw Ji Baixing helping Yin Qin back to his room.

At that moment, she was really furious. She kept telling herself to endure, she must endure!

She couldn’t get agitated by Ji Baixing and hurt her own daughter.

She just waited for Ji Baixing to leave before she called her back and deliberately said something that hurt Ji Baixing’s self-esteem!

Just to make Ji Baixing feel embarrassed so that she would retreat.

“You don’t know to ask me for help when you go downstairs to get water?! Do you think I’m useless?! You can get up on your own and take such a dangerous risk to pour water!” Yin Bin was furious.

Was this guy really acting?!

“Go back to bed!” Yin Bin ordered.

At this moment, Qin Keqin really tried to hold back.

At that moment, the alcohol faded a lot.

This little ungrateful girl, she had fallen asleep herself, what would she do if he froze to death?!

You would have been a widow.

Although he was angry, the moment he hugged Luo Xiaolang’s warm body, he felt extreme satisfaction and fell asleep again.

But Luo Xiaolang, seemed to have suffered from insomnia for a long time.

The next day

Yin Qin’s alarm clock still went off early.

He turned off the alarm clock, hesitated a bit, and bounced up from the bed.

The moment he bounced up, he was thinking, should he sleep a little longer today? The next second was guilt-tripped by his own thoughts. If he indulged once, he would indulge many more times.

He lifted the duvet.

The moment he lifted the duvet, he saw that he... was naked.

Last night?

He looked at Luo Xiaolang lying next to him, her back to him.

She was fully dressed, apparently he was overthinking.

But at that moment, he did want to... overthink, but then he saw Luo Xiaolang sleeping so sweetly, he suppressed his feelings and left the bed.

He washed up quickly, put on clean clothes and left.

As was his habit, he made a “smack” on Luo Xiaolang’s small mouth as he left.

Just as he was getting close, Luo Xiaolang suddenly turned to her side.

Yin Qin was taken aback.

Luo Xiaolang directly buried her head in the duvet.

Oh boy.

She’s pretending to sleep!

Yin Qin smirked.

This girl, she’s starting to get shy.

He didn’t force her and went out of the bedroom.

As soon as he left the bedroom, he was almost scared to death by his dad standing at the door.

He looked at his old man, “It’s so early, why aren’t you sleeping, lurking at my door? Were you kicked out by Miss Qin...”

“Shut up, if it wasn’t for you, would I be here this early in the morning?” Yin Bin said angrily.

Yin Qin was confused.

“Your mother asked me to deliver a message to you personally, listen, these were her exact words!” Yin Bin’s face was very ugly, “From now on, stay away from Ji Baixing. If you dare to have an unclear relationship with her, beware of going childless for life!”

Yin Qin was stunned.

With those words out, Yin Bin asked, “Do you understand?”

Yin Qin nodded, then timidly asked, “Dad, you have no objections to mom suggesting that our family goes barren?”

“What objections would I have? Anyway, I already have a little successor. As for you, who is a waste, just do what you please!”

“Dad!” Yin Qin was not pleased, “Haven’t you seen how sensational the casting show for ‘Hall of Heaven’ was yesterday? Haven’t you seen the rave reviews for the casting show for ‘Hall of Heaven’? I, Yin Qin, am now a king!”

“King your ass!” Yin Bin slapped Yin Qin’s forehead, “There are still four rounds of competition, don’t get killed!”

“Don’t worry, I know myself.” Yin Qin said confidently, “It’s getting late, I’m going to work.”

“Yin Qin.” Yin Bin called his name very seriously.

“Anything else?”

“Don’t disregard what your mother told you! As someone who’s been there, don’t follow my path.”

“I know,” Yin Qin said nonchalantly, “I don’t know where your imaginations are running off to? Could I, Yin Qin, possibly cheat within my marriage? Since I am already with Luo Xiaolang, it’s a lifetime commitment. Don’t worry needlessly, my relationship with Ji Baixing is purely professional right now.”

Yin Bin said nothing more.

Last night before he went to sleep, when Qin Keqin told him about Yin Qin and Ji Baixing, he thought it was not likely to happen.

But since his wife had issued the command, he had no choice but to obey.

However, he still trusts his son.

Since Yin Qin chose to marry Luo Xiaolang, he never thought about being together with Ji Baixing.

As for a man’s responsibility, Yin Qin has it.

At least he has this similarity with him!

Bullshit.

Yin Qin is just like you in every way!

Qin Keqin just hoped that her daughter in her belly wouldn’t follow him, nowhere and in no way!
