Chapter 440 Qin Yan’s Performance
Qin Yan’s face was wounded. It was worse than the apocalypse. Qin Yan stared at the blood on her fingertip. Her fair face was filled with panic and anger. Her face was ruined. How could that be? She was most proud of her face.
Because of this face, she was the number one socialite in the capital.
Because of this face, she managed to open many doors.
Because of this face, countless men knelt at her feet.
Because of this face, she was named the Beautiful Angel. Because of this face…
But now, this face…
As Qin Yan stared at the bloodstain on her fingertip, one of her hands was clenched into a fist. Her skin was as white as snow, and it revealed the bulging veins on her skin.
If the culprit weren’t… she would definitely… kill them.
However, before Qin Yan could react, a cold and dignified voice entered her ears.
“Qin Yan, aren’t you going to give Grandpa an explanation?” Old Master Jiang coldly looked at Qin Yan with a vicious gaze. In the past, he was very satisfied with Qin Yan. But now, he felt that this woman was too shrewd. She was also not she appeared to be.
It was fine if she liked Jiang Tao because then her schemes would be used to help Jiang Tao. However, if she didn’t like Jiang Tao, then clearly, she would plot against Jiang Tao and drag down the entire Jiang Family.
Old Master Jiang folded his hands together. He rubbed the jade ring on his thumb.
He was thinking.
Was Qin Yan the right woman for Jiang Tao?
With her family background, status, looks, and influence, this woman was undoubtedly the most suitable person for Jiang Tao and also the most suitable person to be the mistress of the Jiang family.
When Qin Yan heard grandfather Jiang’s question, her heart trembled. The anger on her face retreated, and her face turned pale. She was fearful and guilty. She knew how stern Old Master Jiang was. She had heard many stories about him since she was young.
Old Master Jiang was a tyrannical and stubborn autocrat. He was ruthless and merciless. He didn’t show mercy even to his family.
For the past few decades, the Jiang Family was ruled by this overlord. The voices that questioned him either disappeared or became powerless. It was clear who was behind the silence of the dissent.
Qin Yan’s face paled even more when she thought about this. Her entire body trembled uncontrollably.
However, Qin Yan was, after all, the daughter of the Qin family. She was the eldest daughter of the eldest son. She had been nurtured by the Qin family since she was young. Her temperament was stronger than most women. Moreover, with her status, no matter how angry Old Master Jiang was, he couldn’t do anything to her.
At worst, he would strip her of the chance to be the young madam of the Jiang Family. That was perfect. It was not that she wanted that position that badly anyway.
Qin Yan was too shocked to notice the two photos that had cut her face.
Qin Yan carefully patted her chest and secretly took a few deep breaths.
Then, she covered her injured face with one hand. With tears at the corner of her eyes, she showed an aggrieved and innocent expression and asked in a weak and gentle voice, “Grandpa, did Yan ‘Er do something wrong to make you so angry?”
Butler Jiang, who was watching from the side, suddenly froze, and he took a deep breath.
‘What is this pretense? What is this acting?
‘I have no idea the eldest daughter of the Qin Family is such a hypocritical woman.’ At the same time, he secretly admired this woman’s courage. She actually dared to play tricks in front of the old master.
WO
“Grandfather, if Yan ‘Er really did something wrong, I will do my best to improve and change. I am willing to heed Grandpa’s advice.”
The corners of Butler Jiang’s mouth twitched.
Grandfather Jiang’s face darkened a little more.
Grandfather Jiang watched her performance coldly, his eyes showing some disdain. His tone was indifferent, but it carried a tight sense of dignity. He said, “I am just an old man. Who am I to advise the great Miss Qin?
“Qin Yan, you can be scheming. In fact, the Jiang Family requires a cunning mistress to lead the family. “But to think that you’d actually scheme against me? Qin Yan, who told you to do this? Is it Qin Xingbao?”
Qin Xingbao was the head of the Qin family and also Qin Yan’s father.
Qin Yan’s beautiful eyes widened, and her expression seemed to be in disbelief. The guilty look on her face was instantly exposed, and her heart kept pounding.
Qin Yan forced herself to be calm and ask innocently. She looked up with her pale face. “Grandpa… What are you talking about? Why can’t Yan ‘Er understand?”
At this moment, Old Master Jiang didn’t get angry. Instead, he smiled with a deep coldness.
There was no need for him to beat around the bush with a little girl.
He looked at the ground with his eyes and asked sternly, “You still don’t understand?! Alright, I’ll spell it out for you. Qin Yan, tell me, what’s with these photos?”
Qin Yan finally noticed the photos on the ground.
When she saw one of the photos, her pupils contracted violently. She could no longer maintain her calm and was on the verge of collapse!
