Chapter 1409: Who Are You Putting On This Show For?

Qin Yiyan guaranteed, "Rest assured, I won't let that kind of person dirty Xin'ai's home; I will arrange a place outside to meet."

That's not bad; he knows how to handle things.

Liu Qingze silently evaluated this in his heart, and then, he cast his gaze back onto Qin Yiyan.

Looking him up and down, Liu Qingze asked, "Can your body withstand such tossing and turning?"

Liu Qingze only asked out of curiosity.

Truly, just out of curiosity.

But after hearing this, Qin Yiyan smiled and said, "No problem, many thanks for the concern, brother-in-law."

This "brother-in-law" of his made Liu Qingze's eyes widen instantly.

He even said with a look of disgust, "Who is your brother-in-law? My sister is dying to divorce you!"

"I know she wants a divorce, but as long as the paperwork isn't finished for a day, you are still my brother-in-law."

Qin Yiyan's words were very infuriating.

But what he said was the truth.

Liu Qingze couldn't refute him, so he could only resort to turning a deaf ear to find peace.

However, just as Liu Qingze was about to leave, Qin Yiyan called him back and urged, "Don't tell your sister about this yet, lest she worry."

"Hmph, you really think highly of yourself, talking as if anyone would be very worried about you."

Liu Qingze left after saying this.

But despite his grumbling, in the end, Liu Qingze did not tell Liu Xin'ai about this matter.

And not only did he not say anything, but instead... he personally sent Qin Yiyan to meet Wang Yaran.

Of course, Liu Qingze didn't think his actions were out of concern for Qin Yiyan.

He was just afraid that if Qin Yiyan didn't handle things well and had a relapse of his old injuries, he would have an excuse to linger at the Liu Family and not leave.

But for Qin Yiyan, no matter the reason Liu Qingze helped, in the end, the one who benefited was himself.

Because of his physical condition, Qin Yiyan found the nearest park to meet Wang Yaran.

This park was not large, and on a workday, there were few people; the environment was quiet, very suitable for discussing private matters.

And when Wang Yaran saw Qin Yiyan, she immediately trotted over and squatted beside Qin Yiyan, her eyes also red.

She even choked out, "Yiyan, why are you acting out of spite? Just go back to the Qin Family, I won't disturb you anymore, okay!"

At this moment, Wang Yaran still had that pitiful, heart-wrenching appearance.

But Qin Yiyan was not moved in the slightest.

He said coldly, "Stop acting. There's no one else here; who are you putting on this show for?"

"Yiyan..."

"My time is limited. Let's get straight to the point: tell me what benefits my father gave you that made you willing to give up your dignity and submit to me?"

Qin Yiyan's words were very direct, so direct that Wang Yaran was visibly panicked.

But soon, Wang Yaran calmed down and said shyly, "Of course it's because I admire you. You might not know, but I had a crush on you before."

A crush?

Qin Yiyan sneered.

Then he leaned forward slightly, looking straight into Wang Yaran's eyes, his tone grim: "There is ambition in your eyes, so stop pretending to be affectionate!"

"I, I don't know what you're talking about."

Qin Yiyan couldn't be bothered to watch her clumsy acting anymore and simply cut to the chase:

"You should be able to see that I'm not afraid of my father. His words don't carry much weight in our family, so instead of teaming up with my father and taking a roundabout way to latch onto me... we might as well cooperate directly!"

Wang Yaran did not respond immediately.

She looked around before sitting beside Qin Yiyan, lowering her eyes as she asked, "Can you really help me?"

"Of course, but on the condition that you make the person currently filming get lost!"

Wang Yaran's clasped hands suddenly tightened!

She was already trying her best to appear composed.

Yet Qin Yiyan could always see through her little schemes.

That feeling was too terrifying!

In fact, after receiving Qin Yiyan's call this morning, Wang Yaran knew that this was either a once-in-a-lifetime chance to turn things around, or it was a disaster.

Now it seemed there was a third possibility: being led by the nose by Qin Yiyan, with absolutely no power to fight back!

Wang Yaran hated this feeling.

It felt like ever since the incident at home, she had been in this state!

Qin Yiyan didn't have that much patience; seeing Wang Yaran silent for a long time, he simply administered a stronger dose of medicine: "You aren't the only one who brought a photographer. If you insist on going your own way and sending out photos to stir up trouble, I will immediately release another version and slap your face properly!"

Wang Yaran raised her head and twitched the corner of her mouth: "As expected of Qin Yiyan, you are indeed meticulous. Rest assured, the photos will absolutely not be leaked; this is for my sake, and also for yours."

At this moment, Wang Yaran was no longer soft and timid.

Her eyes held a hint of laziness and aggression.

Qin Yiyan knew this was the real face of Wang Yaran.

This also meant...

It took so much wasted breath to finally get to the point!

Qin Yiyan felt frustrated.

And Wang Yaran opened her mouth to speak some heartfelt words:

"When my father was alive, I was also the center of attention, but an accident ruined everything. Before cooperating with your father, my mother and I were almost kicked out."

"So you cooperated with my father in order to take back your family property and status?"

"Yes."

Qin Yiyan raised an eyebrow, his attitude indifferent: "Since that's the case, it's the same if you seek cooperation with me, and you'll have your freedom, plus you won't have to sell your womb."

Qin Yiyan spoke very directly, and also very harshly.

Hearing this, Wang Yaran couldn't help but clench her palms!

Back when Qin Chao approached Wang Yaran, she had thought she had reached a turning point and encountered a savior.

As it turned out...

Qin Chao only wanted her to be the mistress of a married man!

And then bear an heir for their Qin Family!!

Wang Yaran felt deeply humiliated.

But apart from a young body, what other assets did she have?

Even if she was angry, in order to turn her life around, she could only cooperate with Qin Chao!

And now...

Wang Yaran was unsure whether she should bet everything on Qin Yiyan.

She pursed her lips and tentatively said: "I must be of use to you to cooperate with you, right? But I have nothing."

"No, you still have a use. I want to use you to let my father know that no matter how many women he finds for me, it is all a waste of effort; I have a way to turn all these people into my partners!"

Pale verbal advice is useless.

Qin Yiyan must use practical actions to resist.

And he must make his father so angry that smoke comes out of his head!

How this father and son fought had little to do with Wang Yaran.

But if she considered it from her own perspective...

Wang Yaran said: "Cooperation is only temporary; climbing up to your Qin Family is the only way to settle things once and for all!"

"You're wrong about that. Marriage alliances aren't reliable, especially since your Wang Family is weak. Once you have no use, do you think my father will keep you around?"

"But what if there could be a child?"

Wang Yaran's hypothesis made Qin Yiyan sneer.

Once his smile faded, his attitude was firm: "There won't be any 'what if'; I won't let anyone give birth to my child!"

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly, his deep eyes seemingly tempered in ice as he stared fixedly at her, his voice chillingly cold: "Jiang Baobao, say that again?"
