Chapter 381: 381: Qin Youxuan, Are You a Pig?

“That can only be a coincidence, he has no reason to do so…”

“To hell with no reason.” Dan Hanjie interrupted her, stepped closer, backing Qin Youxuan into the edge of the sofa. She nervously grabbed the sofa cushion and looked up at him.

“Meng Ziqi devised a plan to kill someone indirectly, using Jin Lan as her weapon. Jin Lan ended up in a vegetative state. If it wasn’t for Diwu Zexuan’s lucky appearance, he would still be a living dead. You say there’s no reason… Qin Youxuan, are you a fool!”

“…”

Qin Youxuan was shocked by his yelling, she muttered in response, “He could send Meng Ziqi to jail…”

Instead of resorting to this despicable method and ruining Meng Ziqi.

This was very different from the Jin Chenye she knew…

“Since Jin Chenye returned to the country and took over Qin Group, to when Jin Lan was acquitted of murder, do you know how much effort the Meng family has put into this behind the scenes?” Dan Hanjie scoffed.

“If Jin Chenye really wanted to sue Meng Ziqi, it’s been so long that, even without considering whether Meng Ziqi would be found guilty under the Meng family’s influence, Jin Chenye would be the first to be criticized by the media, turning into a thankless wretch.”

“…”

“Instead of wasting time and facing the blame, he might as well choose this simple and crude method, where all public opinions would turn towards Meng Ziqi. Instances of sexual misconduct under the influence of alcohol happen almost every day. The Meng family would simply chalk it up to Meng Ziqi’s indiscretions, there would be nowhere to start an investigation.”

“…”

Qin Youxuan struggled to swallow her saliva, unable to utter a word in response.

“So, are you dumbfounded? Realized that the good man in your vision is actually full of darkness and mean-spiritedness deep down, how does that feel?” Dan Hanjie’s large hand cupped her small chin, staring at the shock in Qin Youxuan’s eyes, a complex gleam flickering in the depths of his eyes.

He leaned in and lightly kissed her cheek.

Qin Youxuan subconsciously tried to push him away, but remembering his chest wound, she froze.

She glanced sideways and noticed that Yao had left the room.

In the silent room, the pressure spread rapidly, leaving only the two of them behind…

“… I’m hungry.”

Qin Youxuan lowered her eyes, coldly turned her head away, and looked out the window.

After saying that, she pushed his arm again, trying to get up from the sofa.

He pressed down on her body and she couldn’t move.

“…”

Dan Hanjie’s eyes flickered, staring at her steadily. He propped himself up to see her quickly wriggle out from under him.

Her resistance implied he was a snarling beast.

“Huff——”

Qin Youxuan rushed out of the room and into the yard.

She took a massive sigh of relief.

She looked skyward.

The weather was unusually clear, the sky was cloudless.

The sun was lovely, the brilliant light illuminating the earth.

Looked at from anywhere, it was extraordinarily lovely.

Why did she feel so suffocated on such a beautiful day…

Qin Youxuan took out her phone, staring at the number listed in her contacts.

Several times, her finger hovered over Jin Chenye’s number, hesitated for a moment, then moved away.

What to say if she called?

Ask him if the pictures of Meng Ziqi that were exposed were done by him…

Or ask him how he felt about the reports? After all, she was the woman he was rumored to marry. Jin Chenye’s situation probably wasn’t much better right now.

No matter how she asked, it didn’t feel right.

Qin Youxuan bit her lip, the image of Dan Hanjie’s displeased dark eyes inexplicably flashed before her eyes. Subconsciously, she put her phone back in her pocket.

She turned around and walked back into the living room.
