Back then, Qin Yi got into a car accident while saving Xia Yanbing.
When his uncle’s family heard about it, they rushed to the hospital first thing, not to see Qin Yi, but to ask how the Xia Family would compensate.
Xia Yanbing took out half a million and vowed to cover all of Qin Yi’s future dical expenses.
However, his uncle’s family left with the half a million and never appeared again.
When Qin Yi was discharged, he returned to his uncle’s ho with the last shred of hope, only to find their belongings thrown out through the crack of the door.
His uncle told him through the door that their family wouldn’t waste ti caring for a good-for-nothing.
His aunt told them to get lost as far as possible, preferably out of Yinfeng City, so they wouldn’t be an eyesore.
That afternoon, it was pouring rain.
The 13- or 14-year-old Qin Wan’er was so frightened by the thunder and lightning that she cried, yet stubbornly pushed her brother in search of shelter.
A brand new car stopped beside Qin Yi, its window lowered slightly to reveal a gloating face—Qin Liangliang.
His uncle used the half a million from the Xia Family to buy his son a new car as soon as Qin Yi was hospitalized, which was what Qin Liangliang bragged about when mocking Qin Yi and his sister.
"Qin Wan’er, push your useless brother into the middle of the road. If he’s hit by a car again, I can get an even better car. Anyway, he’s crippled for life. If he doesn’t die, just getting hit to death would earn a lot of money, hahaha..."
The storm couldn’t drown out the malicious laughter of Qin Liangliang, which felt like a knife slicing through Qin Yi’s heart.
He couldn’t understand; they were family—how could they commit such heartless acts for money?
In the torrential rain, Qin Yi genuinely contemplated death. Where in the vast world could he and his sister find a place?
He was in utter despair, wanting to die but not daring to, because he still had Qin Wan’er to care for.
When that white Audi ca into view, and that graceful figure approached him, it was like a hand reaching out to catch him as he fell into the abyss.
Xia Yanbing, a woman who was a complete stranger to him at the ti, was like lightning that pierced through darkness, bringing a sliver of light to his dark world.
This is why, even though he stands above many today with the power over life and death, he still loves Xia Yanbing.
Though Xia Yujiang and his wife treated him poorly and spoke harshly, they ultimately gave him and Qin Wan’er a place to stay. So, he forgave them.
But for his uncle’s family, Qin Yi would never forgive them.
Running into Qin Liangliang here today was entirely by chance. Since then, Qin Yi had erased this family from his heart, neither deliberately hating nor rembering them.
Qin Yi’s gaze was indifferent, for the person in front of him was less than a stranger to him.
Qin Liangliang could naturally feel Qin Yi’s disregard, feeling uncomfortable and said in a deep voice, "Qin Yi, I’m talking to you."
Qin Yi said indifferently, "Do I know you?"
Qin Liangliang’s eyes darkened, angrily saying, "You cripple, who are you talking to? Don’t think that just because your legs are healed you can be arrogant in front of . It would only take a word from to deal with you."
Qin Yi let out a snort of laughter, his eyes filled with disdain.
Qin Liangliang sneered, "Are you doubting my ability? You probably have no idea what my status is now, do you?"
"Of course, even if I told you about our high-society affairs, a country bumpkin like you wouldn’t understand. I hadn’t seen you for years and thought you were dead, but I didn’t expect you could stand again. But after being crippled for so many years, even standing, you’re still a cripple in front of ."
Qin Yi was expressionless, slightly mocking, "High society? Even if you know a few people from high society, it doesn’t cover up the lowly nature in your bones."
Qin Liangliang’s face turned furious, clenching his fists. "Cripple, who are you talking to? Are you tired of living?"
Qin Yi, taller by a head than Qin Liangliang, looked down at him. Even without any imposing presence, Qin Liangliang didn’t have the courage to raise a hand.
Qin Liangliang didn’t dare to act, but he couldn’t admit his fear, so he stuck his neck out and looked fiercely at Qin Yi, appearing both ridiculous and laughable.
Qin Yi’s lips curled into a slight smile. He shook his head and took steps toward the company building.
If it were an outsider, they could simply be killed.
But with Qin Liangliang, who shared the Qin Family blood, he couldn’t be killed, only ignored.
Qin Liangliang felt embarrassed, thinking, who was Qin Yi to be so arrogant in front of him?
"You stop right there," shouted Qin Liangliang.
Qin Yi stopped, but not because of Qin Liangliang. It was because Xia Yanbing just happened to co out of the building with a woman who looked in her forties.
Qin Liangliang quickly ran over. As he passed Qin Yi, he said viciously, "Just you wait."
Qin Liangliang ran to the woman with a fawning smile, "Sweetheart, did you finish discussing things?"
Sweetheart?
Qin Yi was shocked; this woman was at least a decade older than Qin Liangliang.
The woman spoke in a rough voice, "Call Manager Niu when we’re outside."
Qin Liangliang nodded fawningly.
"Ms. Xia, this is Qin Liangliang, a key contributor to our company’s business," the woman introduced.
Xia Yanbing nodded lightly toward Qin Liangliang.
Qin Liangliang was flattered, lacking even the courage to et Xia Yanbing’s gaze; how could such a beautiful woman exist in the world?
The woman looked at Qin Liangliang, "You go bring the car around first."
Qin Liangliang was just about to nod when Xia Yanbing suddenly joyfully shouted "Honey" and happily ran over.
Qin Yi watched as Xia Yanbing ran up to him, smiling radiantly, and couldn’t help pinching her cheek.
The woman was stunned for a mont, then walked over.
But Qin Liangliang was completely frozen; the president of the Xia Group, a fairy-like woman, actually called Qin Yi her husband?
Qin Liangliang felt as if his face had been pressed to the ground and trampled a thousand tis.
"Ms. Xia, is this your husband? Indeed, he is talented and handso; you two truly are a golden couple, making others envious."
The woman in her forties ca over, her words laced with flattery.
Xia Yanbing smiled, "My husband, Qin Yi!"
"Honey, this is Niu ili, Manager Niu from Zhu’an Company, our partner supplying us with building materials."
Niu ili?
Qin Yi inwardly laughed; how apt, the old cow eating young grass. Although Qin Liangliang wasn’t exactly young, he was at least a decade younger than Niu ili.
Niu ili bead, "Mr. Qin, hello! Nice to et you."
Qin Yi’s gaze remained indifferent as he looked at Niu ili and said, "Starting today, the cooperation between Zhu’an Company and the Xia Group is over."
Niu ili’s face, originally full of flattery, was first stunned at Qin Yi’s words of terminating cooperation, then changed dramatically, even in fear.
This cooperation had been hard-won, with countless companies eyeing this piece of fat. If the cooperation ended, her career as a manager would be over.
