Novel Full Chapter 367
The title was simple and straightforward, but due to the high popularity of the two individuals involved, it instantly became a trending post.
There was no explanation inside, just a video.
At first, there was some concern, but after watching the silent video, it was clear that their faces were hardly shown, and there were no scenes of violence. This brought temporary relief, as while they were bold enough to take responsibility, they didn’t want to be scrutinized online.
Upon watching the video again, it was amusing—Qin Han had failed before even achieving anything!
Although most people in the auditorium were attentively listening to Qin Han’s speech, not many were distracted by their phones. However, once such explosive news was revealed, it would spread quickly, especially since everyone knew Qin Han was currently giving a speech there.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long before students in the auditorium started glancing at their phones. Occasionally, there were even noises as people watched the video.
Qin Han, who was speaking on stage, seemed to notice some people below openly playing with their phones. He was visibly annoyed and considered ending his speech early to express his displeasure and teach them a lesson.
However, the host suddenly signaled him to wrap up his speech quickly.
Qin Han was immediately puzzled—how had the other party beaten him to it?
Since he was already frustrated, he decided to just go with it and hastily concluded his speech. When the applause came, it was scattered and lukewarm, completely different from the enthusiastic response he had received before. This only fueled his anger.
Qin Jiaxi also noticed that everyone around her was looking at their phones, and she could feel the occasional glances directed her way. No one seemed to notice that the speech had ended. She had always been sensitive to such stares, and this made her extremely uncomfortable. She nervously glanced at her family members beside her, only to find that they, too, were engrossed in their phones. When she took a closer look, her eyes widened in shock, and she quickly pulled out her own phone to check. What she saw left her stunned.
Meanwhile, Yu Xin, who was waiting anxiously at the side of the stage with a bouquet of flowers, hadn’t realized that something was amiss. Right on cue, she rushed up to the stage to present the flowers to Qin Han.
Seeing Yu Xin approach, Qin Han’s anger subsided slightly.
He accepted the bouquet and then signaled the host with his eyes to start the Q&A session.
Before coming on stage, they had already arranged with the host to casually bring up their relationship.
However, the host was distracted. He had just received a prompt through his earpiece that a heavyweight guest was about to make an appearance, so he needed to quickly wrap up Qin Han’s segment and move on to the next part. He was brainstorming how to transition smoothly.
If it weren’t for Qin Han’s obvious glare, the host might have remained distracted.
The host turned his head, noticing Qin Han’s displeased expression and Yu Xin’s awkward demeanor, and finally remembered the small task at hand. He quickly improvised.
“Hmm, the two of you seem quite close. Could she be your girlfriend?”
Qin Han then smiled, wrapped his arm around Yu Xin’s shoulders, and declared boldly in front of the entire audience, “Don’t misunderstand, everyone. Yu Xin is my sister! She’s my one and only precious little sister. I hope you’ll all take good care of her at school.”
Yu Xin instantly breathed a sigh of relief and stood tall. She knew that, despite the earlier conflict, as long as Qin Han publicly acknowledged her, Qin Jiaxi’s efforts would be in vain. After all, Qin Han was her biological brother.
However, the applause and gasps they expected didn’t come. Instead, the crowd began murmuring and whispering, completely contrary to what they had anticipated.
“What a shameless guy. He’s full of nonsense,” Ji Fei couldn’t help but curse under his breath.
Qin Jiaxi, standing nearby, had a calm expression, but her eyes were cold. Although she had anticipated this, hearing her own brother acknowledge only Yu Xin still left her heart aching.
“His one and only precious sister? How could he say that?” she thought.
“Am I really that detestable to him?”
“You two were never meant to be siblings. It’s his loss,” Qin Yi said.
Qin Zhao chimed in with a smile, “We don’t consider him family either.”
Qin Rong nodded in agreement. “That’s right. You’re the only sister we recognize.”
Ji Fei chuckled and said, “Don’t be disheartened. Let’s keep watching.”
Meanwhile, the two on stage were starting to feel that something was off.
At that moment, the host announced, “By the way, we have a special surprise for everyone today. An even more distinguished guest has come to share their wisdom with us. Please welcome the current President of Qin International’s Y City branch, President Qin!”
The entire auditorium erupted in shock.
“Isn’t President Qin Qin Han’s father? The wealthiest man in Y City?”
“Why are both father and son appearing together today?”
“Look at Qin Han and Yu Xin’s surprised expressions. It doesn’t seem like they knew about this beforehand.”
“Hey, have you seen the post on the forum? I think President Qin’s appearance might be related to that!”
“Why do I feel like something juicy is about to happen?”
“A real versus fake heiress?!!!! Is this drama really unfolding right before my eyes?”
“Honestly, just based on the surname, I’d believe Qin Jiaxi!”
“And when I look at Qin Han and Yu Xin, they don’t seem like they’re just siblings.”
“Nonsense! Yu Xin is clearly involved with Su Ze!”
“Oh? Watson, you’ve spotted something!”
Ji Fei raised an eyebrow in surprise. The original plan was for Qin Xian to take the stage, but it turned out to be Third Uncle Qin instead!
Well, it was better this way. Let him personally teach his foolish son a lesson.
Qin Jiaxi, standing nearby, was utterly stunned, even beginning to doubt whether she had heard correctly.
It wasn’t until the familiar, towering figure walked onto the stage that she snapped out of it.
The other members of the Qin family were already buzzing with excitement. This turn of events was simply too thrilling.
Their elders were finally seeing for themselves what kind of person their son was outside.
Qin Han’s earlier statement, to put it bluntly, was an attempt to confuse the Qin family’s bloodline and swap the real and fake heiresses.
If Qin Han had succeeded, Yu Xin could have used the Qin family’s name to do who knows what, tarnishing the family’s reputation in the process.
As members of the Qin family, they naturally bore the responsibility of upholding the family’s honor. Qin Han, in his foolishness, thought he could grant anyone the status of a Qin family member. It was utterly ridiculous.
Meanwhile, Qin Han, seeing his father walking towards him with a calm expression, began to tremble.
He wasn’t stupid. He knew his father had heard everything he had just said. He had already been scolded over the phone about this matter, and now he had gone and said it again in front of his father. This was bound to provoke his father’s anger.
But the fact that his father showed no outward signs of anger only made him more anxious.
He had no idea what kind of storm was brewing beneath that calm exterior.
He could only hope that his father would prioritize the family’s image and not embarrass them in public. Even if his father didn’t support him, he wouldn’t openly contradict him, as that would only help Yu Xin. At worst, he’d get a scolding once they returned home.
Yu Xin, on the other hand, was already panicking. Such a blatant lie being exposed in front of Third Uncle Qin could reveal her scheme of pretending to be his daughter. This would only make it harder for her to enter the Qin family. She forced a smile, trying to keep things under control.
But the moment Third Uncle Qin took the microphone, the situation began to spiral out of control.
Third Uncle Qin’s hand holding the microphone trembled slightly with anger, though he maintained a composed exterior.
He directly addressed Yu Xin, “Young lady, who are you?”
His words struck like lightning, shocking the entire auditorium.
Gasps and murmurs filled the room.
Qin Han’s face twisted in panic. “Dad, what are you saying?” he exclaimed, desperately trying to signal his father to maintain decorum.
But Third Uncle Qin continued, “Why does my son say you’re his sister? I don’t know you. Since when did our Qin family have a daughter like you?”
All eyes were now fixed on Yu Xin, making her feel as though she were being roasted over a fire.
Tears welled up in her eyes—this time, they were genuine.
