Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Yin Qin, I am Luo Xiaolang, not Ji Baixing (Second Update)

The meal took over 2 hours to finish.

The banquet ended.

Everyone left the restaurant.

Outside the front door, their respective cars were parked.

Yin Qin took the initiative to speak to his parents, “I’ll take you home first.”

“No need.” Qin Keqin said loudly, “No need, you and Baixin can go back, we can’t trouble you, we’ll go by ourselves.”

Yin Qin looked at his mom.

Qin Keqin was very relaxed, “You just take good care of Baixin, don’t worry about us, don’t forget to let us know when you’re getting married, I’m afraid I might forget to attend. And don’t call me or visit if it’s not necessary, I am pregnant now, can’t stand the stress, no, no, no, can’t stand too many people, I really hate noise as I get older.”

Yin Qin pursed his lips.

His mother really didn’t hide her dislike for him.

Or rather, her dislike for him and Baixin.

It was quite clear that she didn’t want him to come back.

He didn’t say anything.

Listening to this, Baixin felt extremely uncomfortable, but fortunately, she still had her own manners, she didn’t need to argue with them.

Anyway.

She always firmly believed that Yin Qin’s parents were also deceived by Luo Xiaolang. When the truth comes out, they will naturally accept her.

“It’s late, we should be off now. The doctor said I being a pregnant woman of advanced age, need to go to bed early.” Qin Keqin said, taking Yin Bin’s hand, “We’ll be going now.”

It seemed like they couldn’t wait to leave.

At this moment, Zhang Qingmei hurriedly said, “Take care on your way.”

Qin Keqin nodded. As she got into the car with Yin Bin’s help, she suddenly turned to Song Zhizhi, “Zhizhi, do come to visit often, and bring your friend what’s her name…”

“Xin Zaozao.” Song Zhizhi replied promptly.

“Right, Zaozao. I really like that child, do come over when you’re free, I’m quite bored at home alone.”

“Sure.” Song Zhizhi responded enthusiastically.

Baixin’s face turned green.

Yin Qin was speechless too.

Could Miss Qin act less blatantly?

Ignoring others’ feelings, Qin Keqin got into the car with Yin Bin and drove away.

As Qin Keqin departed, the others gradually left one after another.

Song Zhizhi sat in Ji Baijian’s passenger seat.

Song Zhizhi asked, “Do you think Yin Qin and Baixin’s marriage will be happy?”

“That’s their business, I’m not interested.”

“Isn’t Yin Qin your eldest son, and Baixin your sister?”

“But their feelings are their own business.” Ji Baijian was indifferent.

“…” What a cold-blooded person.

Song Zhizhi turned her head to look out the window.

She whispered, “If Yin Qin and Baixin being together is a good thing, then so be it, but I’m truly afraid that in the end, Yin Qin will regret it. So much has happened between him and Baixin, it’s hard for me to believe they can go back to the way they were.”

“That’s his own choice, he deserves it if he ends up in tears.” Ji Baijian seemed very calm.

So, you knew Yin Qin would end up in tears, didn’t you!

“Instead of worrying about others, you should be thinking about how to get pregnant.” Ji Baijian said, his face slightly disgruntled.

“Can I get pregnant just by thinking about it?” Song Zhizhi retorted.

“…Doing something is always better than doing nothing.”

This guy is just trying anything out of desperation, isn’t he!

…

Yin Qin had been drinking, Baixin drove the car.

The car was moving along the streets of Jin City.

Swerving a bit.

Yin Qin had drunk quite a lot, but he wasn’t drunk, just felt a bit heavy-headed.

He leaned against the window, staring blankly at the scenery outside.

Baixin turned her head to look at Yin Qin and asked, “What did my brother say to you during the meal?”

Yin Qin blinked, remained silent for a few seconds.

“Did he say something bad about me?” Baixin asked jokingly.

“No.”

“It’s a bit of a surprise.” Baixin scoffed at herself, “I told my brother in no uncertain terms that Luo Xiaolang was also selfish and didn’t want to clarify the facts for you, but the next second, Luo Xiaolang cleared your name on the media, while he persuaded me to disclose my experience to the public and I refused for the sake of my own reputation. In my brother’s eyes, I must seem selfish and Luo Xiaolang must seem extremely great.”

“Your brother has never been so judgmental about people and things.” Yin Qin said bluntly.

Baixin laughed bitterly.

But the fact was, everyone was looking down on her now.

Wasn’t Yin Qin’s mother blatant enough?

She would rather get close to Song Zhizhi, who didn’t have much to do with them, than have any contact with her. It was clear that she didn’t want Baixin to enter the Yin family’s doorstep.

Yin Qin could get married but go get married elsewhere and don’t come back!

She saw it all, she just didn’t care.

“So, you and my brother talked for so long outside, and you didn’t say anything?” Baixin asked stubbornly.

Yin Qin shifted his body to sit straight.

Baixin could vaguely sense that something was not right.

Yin Qin said, “Your brother wants to use the law to resolve your issue…”

As soon as he said this.

Baixin suddenly braked hard.

Yin Qin quickly grabbed the handrail.

He turned his head to look at Baixin, who was extremely agitated.

Baixin glared at Yin Qin, “Didn’t you promise not to do it this way? Weren’t you going to protect my reputation? I’ve said it, I don’t care, I’d rather not dwell on what happened that day. I don’t want to show this ugly side to everyone! Why do you have to do this!”

Yin Qin remained silent.

Baixin became more agitated, “Now Luo Xiaolang has already said publicly that your feelings for him were all her one-sided wishful thinking and scheme, and had nothing to do with you. Now there aren’t so many people blaming you on the internet, gradually, your image will improve. There’s no need for me to add any fuel to the fire, no need at all! Why can’t you let me go!”

“Baixin, calm down. We can’t let those who hurt you get away with it, we can’t just swallow it.”

“I can swallow it, I can! This is my own experience, my word is final, whatever I say goes! I don’t need your kindness, I don’t!” Baixin yelled loudly, totally breaking down.

“Why do you have to hurt yourself like this? It’s not your fault that you were mistreated, you can’t keep punishing yourself for others’ wrongs. Those people should get the punishment they deserve, otherwise what’s the use of justice and law in this world!”

“Justice, what is justice? Do you think it’s justice for me to bring to justice those who hurt me? Have you considered what I would have to bear if they’re brought to justice? Everyone would look at me differently, how could I work and live a decent life in the future!”

“Why do you have to care so much about what others think of you! Why do you have to care about other people’s views! You’re clean and pure in my eyes, and I’ll always be by your side, isn’t that enough?” Yin Qin’s voice had raised, showing visible anger.

Ji Baixin was taken aback by Yin Qin’s outburst.

Yin Qin would always soften after getting angry at Ji Baixin.

In reality.

Any woman who encountered this situation would have her spirit broken, and Ji Baixin was just an ordinary woman.

The room held a tense standoff.

Yin Qin’s voice softened, “Baixin, I’ll always stay by your side from now on. I’ll help you compensate for all the harm you’ve suffered. Stop putting yourself in despair, it’s not that bad.”

Ji Baixin’s eyes become moist.

But she simply wouldn’t accept it.

The mere thought of her being exposed was unbearable.

She could even imagine the idle gossip that would spread on the Internet.

And the sneers she’d face at work, especially from competitors and their biting sarcasm.

She refused to give in.

She bit her lip firmly and didn’t give in.

“Baixin.” Yin Qin tried to take her hand.

Ji Baixin tearfully looked at Yin Qin, “Can’t we just let it go? Pretend it never happened, just move on together, let it just disappear, can we?”

Yin Qin shook his head, and confidently said, “It’s hard to change what your brother has already decided.”

“Why should he be the one to decide for me, what gives him the right!” Ji Baixin’s emotions flared up again.

“He only means well for you, you can’t keep avoiding this…”

“He’s not!” Ji Baixin cried out, “If he really cared about me, he would put himself in my shoes instead of imposing his will! My brother has always been indifferent towards family bonds since we were kids, not just with us, but even with our father. In this family, his word is law, always prioritizing his own interests, never considering others!”

That’s not who Baijian was.

Though he may seem cold and indifferent to anyone, he doesn’t act solely based on self-interest.

He considers many people, so long as you pay attention.

“Yin Qin, you’ve always been close to my brother since we were kids, can you speak up for me to him? Please talk to him for me and ask him not to do this to me, is that okay?” Ji Baixin was still unwilling, no matter what.

Yin Qin shook his head.

At this point, he honestly felt that legal action was the best solution.

Ji Baixin looked at Yin Qin, suddenly smirked, and said, “In the end, you only listen to my brother, not me, right?”

Yin Qin opted for silence.

All he thought was that Baijian’s way of handling things was very good.

Good for Baixin, and for them too.

Baixin should defend her own rights.

Weicheng deserved the lesson coming his way.

And Yi Wenhan, the scoundrel who always sabotages behind the scenes, should also receive his just desserts.

Yin Qin didn’t see anything wrong with Baijian’s approach.

Ji Baixin sneered even more.

She said, “Leave the car.”

Yin Qin looked at her.

“I don’t want to see you right now, get out!” Ji Baixin yelled.

“Baixin…”

“Don’t call me! If you, like my brother, don’t care about my reputation, so be it! I don’t need your pity or your sympathy. I deserve all that has happened to me, leave the car, leave!” Ji Baixin roared.

Yin Qin just kept looking at her.

He was somewhat helpless when it came to Ji Baixin and was at a loss for how to calm her down.

He didn’t know what he could say to make her understand that it wasn’t her fault at all. She shouldn’t let those who’ve hurt her avoid punishment for the sake of her reputation.

He suddenly opened the car door.

Ji Baixin looked at Yin Qin.

Watching his actions.

Tears welled up in her eyes instantly.

She watched as Yin Qin got out of the car and said, “Drive safe.”

Ji Baixin didn’t expect Yin Qin to actually get out!

She was just venting.

Just letting off steam.

Yin Qin didn’t placate her. Instead of trying to calm her down, he actually left!

She gritted her teeth.

With a heavy foot on the gas, she stormed off.

Yin Qin watched her speeding off.

He didn’t know why dealing with Ji Baixin made him feel so mentally exhausted.

So tired that, he even wanted to escape.

Though he knew letting Ji Baixin leave alone wasn’t the best decision, he didn’t want to pacify her.

He raised his hand to hail a taxi.

Quite naturally, he gave the driver his home address and ironically laughed at himself.

He’d even been kicked out by Miss Qin!

He asked the driver to drop him at a club.

He resolved to drink till he dropped!

Suddenly he missed his drinking buddy Mu Cidian.

Who knows how long it’ll be before he’s out of jail.

Drinking alone, he realized, was really miserable.

Thankfully, he got drunk quickly.

In less than an hour, he was thoroughly intoxicated.

The servers tried to help him get home.

He adamantly rejected, mumbling, “Someone’s waiting for me, someone’s waiting… Leave me alone…”

The server was speechless.

Yin Qin, at that moment, took out his phone and confidently dialed a number.

When the call connected, he yelled into the phone, “Baixin, come get me, I’m drunk…”

“I’m not Baixin, I’m Xiaolang.”

“…”
