Novel Full Chapter 399
After shouting, Wen Bai felt as if all his strength had been drained. As someone who had grown up with his mother, rebelling against her was truly exhausting, both physically and mentally.
If it weren’t for today’s events, he probably would never have been able to confront her like this in his entire life.
But now that everything was out in the open, he felt a wave of confusion.
Wen Bai’s mother was completely stunned and couldn’t hold herself up any longer, collapsing to the ground and wailing, cursing Wen Bai.
Wen Bai was too mentally exhausted to care anymore. He turned his head and looked at Qin Jing.
Qin Xiaoyu stepped in front of him to block his view, saying coldly, “Don’t ever contact us again, or don’t blame us for resorting to extreme measures.”
After saying that, she pulled her brother and left.
Qin Zhao also followed, leading the group away from the noisy scene.
But to everyone’s surprise, Wen Bai still insisted on chasing after them. It seemed he truly liked Qin Jing.
“You can genuinely like me even without seeing me, so isn’t that liking my soul? Why, after seeing the real me, do you regret it? I didn’t have real feelings for your sister, but I genuinely care for you. Don’t you even give me a chance?”
Qin Jing was instantly furious and took another swing at him, yelling, “Shut up! Just for pretending to be straight and tricking my sister, I could beat you to death. And here you are, playing games between us, thinking you’re something special!”
Qin Xiaoyu, too, was infuriated by Wen Bai’s comment about not having real feelings. She had loved him, but he hadn’t felt the same.
“I had no choice, I really had no choice. I admit I made a lot of mistakes, but… but isn’t being born gay enough reason to not deserve true love?” Wen Bai continued to plead.
“Stop spouting nonsense! You tried to trade fake emotions for real love, what a bold thought! Even con artists would bow to you as their master,” Qin Zhao rebuked angrily.
“How could you possibly understand? My life is a tragedy. Loving is forbidden, yet there’s no one to hate.” Wen Bai lamented.
Ji Fei also found Wen Bai rather laughable.
“Half of your life’s tragedy is your mother’s fault, but the other half is your own choice. Stop pretending to be so tragic. Let me guess, if today’s events hadn’t been exposed, what would you have done?”
Wen Bai was stunned, and the others were also puzzled by Ji Fei’s sudden question.
Ji Fei smiled and continued, “You wouldn’t have broken up with Qin Xiaoyu, because you needed her money to support the team. You also needed her as a bridge to get close to Qin Jing. But you knew Qin Jing wouldn’t accept a man, which is why you never revealed your true identity. So, the only way you could stay close to the person you love was by marrying Qin Xiaoyu and interacting with Qin Jing as family. Just like tonight, you’d pretend to be with your girlfriend while secretly finding ways to get closer to Qin Jing. If the relationship deepened, you’d satisfy your own selfish desires even more.”
As Ji Fei spoke, Wen Bai’s face grew increasingly horrified, as Ji Fei had accurately described his plan.
Meanwhile, Qin Jing and Qin Xiaoyu’s expressions grew darker and darker, worse than eating countless flies.
Their glares at Wen Bai were as sharp as knives.
Ji Fei truly despised Wen Bai.
“Unlike his father, who initially didn’t understand his situation but left his mother once he did, ultimately making amends. But Wen Bai was fully aware of who he was yet still chose to deceive others, and he deceived two people at once. What was he trying to do? Enjoy the best of both worlds? He wanted a reputation and to cling to the person he liked? Flawless thinking.”
Qin Zhao and Qin Rong agreed wholeheartedly with Ji Fei’s assessment.
This type of person had the audacity to show up again, truly shameless. If he had his own struggles, that was his problem, not something others should have to pay for.
This time, Qin Xiaoyu went up and kicked Wen Bai away, and he didn’t dare to resist, just standing there in a daze.
Qin Xiaoyu and Qin Jing left without sparing him another glance, as looking at him now was an insult.
It wasn’t appropriate to discuss this in front of the twins, so the group quietly returned to the old manor.
Qin Xiaoyu and Qin Jing went straight to their rooms.
Fourth Uncle Qin had planned to talk to them, as Qin Xian had suggested earlier, wanting to confirm the guest list urgently. So, Fourth Uncle Qin intended to prod the twins about bringing their partners along.
“What’s wrong with them? Didn’t they see me?” Fourth Uncle Qin approached from the side, raising his hand to call them over, but the two disappeared before he could.
The other young members of the Qin family were gathered in the hall. Hearing this, they curiously looked at the returning group of people, wondering why they looked so lost, as if their souls had left their bodies. Only Qin Yan seemed embarrassed, as she had heard about it in her gossip group.
“They’re in a bad mood,” Qin Xian explained.
“Ah? What happened? Didn’t they go to watch their boyfriend’s game? Did Xiaoyu have a fight with her boyfriend? I still need to confirm with them if their partners are coming,” Fourth Uncle Qin sighed helplessly.
Qin Zhao replied, “To put it simply, something quite bizarre happened to the two of them tonight. Since they didn’t say it was a secret, I’ll just tell you straight.”
Everyone was annoyed by his teasing tone, so they urged him to get on with it.
“One nearly became a victim of a gay man hiding his identity, and the other was deceived by a man pretending to be straight. Specifically, the culprit behind both cases is the same person.”
Qin Zhao certainly knew how to drop a bombshell. This shocking revelation left everyone in a daze, struggling to process the information.
Finally, Fourth Uncle Qin stumbled, but Qin Xian quickly caught him and helped him sit on the sofa.
Soon, the usually calm Fourth Uncle Qin burst out, cursing, “Damn it! Who dared to hurt my children!”
He then rushed upstairs.
Qin Yi, who was still processing the information, translated in disbelief, “So, Qin Xiaoyu’s boyfriend, the one she invested in, pretended to be a woman and was actually Qin Jing’s online lover?!”
Everyone nodded.
Qin Wenqiang asked, “Was this revealed tonight?”
Everyone nodded again.
Then, Qin Zhao and Qin Rong recounted the dramatic events of the evening.
Qin Jiaxi, trembling with shock, quickly drank some tea to calm herself, finding the whole situation incredibly unbelievable.
Everyone was left stunned as they digested the drama, and the next day they approached the twins cautiously. While Qin Xiaoyu and Qin Jing had red, swollen eyes, they didn’t seem particularly off.
Still, for the twins, this was undoubtedly a watershed moment in their romantic history.
Fourth Uncle Qin had wanted to confront Wen Bai, but Qin Xiaoyu and Qin Jing stopped him, feeling there was no need to confront him further.
Qin Jing blocked all contact and deleted all records, while Qin Xiaoyu withdrew her investment.
They didn’t explicitly blacklist Wen Bai, but word of the incident would inevitably spread. Given Wen Bai’s immoral actions, he would naturally face consequences, such as being banned from the competition for a period.
Originally, considering his age, he was nearing the end of his career anyway, but this scandal sealed his fate, ending it on a decidedly low note. There would be no further collaborations, and any hope of a coaching, livestreaming, or tutoring career evaporated. Even without direct ties to Qin Corporation, no one dared to support this kind of scumbag, fearing consequences from Qin Corporation. So, Wen Bai was forced to quietly disappear from the scene.
What happened after that, including how he would deal with conflicts with his family, was no longer Ji Fei’s concern.
It was just a small episode in their lives.
Such minor events didn’t need to be shared with the elders, or they might have worried, and Grandpa would inevitably call for prayers again.
However, the prophecies from that renowned master seemed to be continuing.
One day, while they were playing at the old manor, they heard that something had happened at the main building, and Grandpa was livid.
The younger generation didn’t dare approach, until someone came over to tell them it was about Fifth Aunt.
Her husband and her were returning to finalize their divorce, and she had informed the family in advance.
Someone exclaimed, “Oh no, another divorce?”
