Chapter 440: Should You Do Whatever It Takes If You Want Something?
Chapter 440: Chapter 440: Should You Do Whatever It Takes If You Want Something?
A deceptive scheme…
Dan Hanjie knew very well that she had nothing to do with Jin Chenye or the Qin Family. However, he watched as she fought for her inheritance.
In fact, he did more than once to help her confront Jin Chenye.
What was he thinking after all?
Just like Bai Wei had said, he set up everything just to get her, a special antidote.
Tears slid from the corner of her eyes, disappearing into her hair.
Qin Youxuan clenched the quilt tightly with her hands, her body chilling to the point of losing all sensation.
It was like falling into a black hole, no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn’t climb out…
…
Dan Hanjie was quick. Within a few minutes, he had returned and picked Qin Youxuan out from the quilt.
Seeing her tear-streaked face, his chest felt as if it was dealt a heavy blow, leaving him out of breath.
“…”
Qin Youxuan hadn’t expected him to be back so soon. She stared blankly at the man in front of her.
His long fingers brushed over her cheek. It felt warm and ticklish…
Qin Youxuan reached out and grabbed his fingers, her voice hoarse, “Is what she said true?”
“…”
“You knew all along that I’m not Qin Family’s biological daughter.”
“Yes.” Dan Hanjie’s eyes darkened, his lips slightly parting.
“…”
Qin Youxuan’s grip loosened, but he quickly grabbed her hand, “But that doesn’t mean anything. I never thought that your identity would be revealed. I helped you only because you wanted the Qin Group.”
“…”
So, just because she wanted it, she should resort to whatever means necessary?
Did he ever consider that she wanted the Qin Group because she had no idea she had no relationship with the Qin Family?
As an illegitimate child with an unknown father, what right did she have to fight for something that wasn’t hers?
“What about Jin Chenye? You watched as I became his foe, was it also to help me gain the property?” Qin Youxuan’s voice was soft, her face void of any passion, as if discussing a trivial matter.
“So, all the reasons are simply because I wanted the Qin Group, and thus deserved to be kept in the dark, unknowingly becoming a laughingstock.”
“…”
Dan Hanjie’s eyes tightened, he pursed his lips and said nothing.
“You knew I had no connection with the Qin family but didn’t tell me, watched as I was accused of murder, protected the real murderer Meng Ziqi, and even manipulated me against Jin Lan. The arrival of Diwu Zexuan was too much of a coincidence, yet you say it has nothing to do with you…”
With every word she spoke, Qin Youxuan couldn’t help but tremble.
“And Bai Wei, the one who revealed my identity, it was her, wasn’t it? She also knew long ago that I wasn’t Miss Qin. No wonder she despises me so much.” Qin Youxuan looked into his eyes, her own filled with disbelief.
“That was just an accident. When I fainted that day, she sneaked into my study and peeked at the documents on my desk.”
“You knew it was her, but you told me you couldn’t find anything!” Qin Youxuan fiercely shook off his hand, and with too much force, she fell back onto the bed.
“Cat…”
“Don’t touch me!” Qin Youxuan pulled up the quilt, wrapping herself tightly.
“You lied to me to protect Bai Wei. What are you scared of? That I would retaliate against her? Haha…”
Qin Youxuan gave a harsh laugh, tears rolling from the corners of her eyes.
She knew it. Apart from Meng Ziqi, who else could hate her so much.
So, it was all because of him.
He manipulated her life. Even his beloved Wei’er wished her ruin.
Watching as she became the illegitimate child everyone loathed, irredeemable…
Yet, he chose to protect.
Using myriad lies to cover everything up.
