Chapter 894: If You Aren't Dead, How Can You Show Your Sincerity?

The Secretary saw the two of them out.

Besides apologizing, they had also brought over a mobile phone, which was the one Huang Qin had left on the rooftop.

Jian Yining held the phone, lost in thought; if it weren't for Father Huang coming to make such a scene, he wouldn't have had any suspicions.

But things were different now; he wanted to know exactly how many faces Huang Qin had.

The phone had a passcode, but cracking it wasn't a difficult task!

It opened.

Heh heh heh.

There were quite a few secrets indeed.

The Huang Qin inside the phone was the real her, completely different from the one Jian Yining had known!

Even before she had arrived in Jiangzhou, she had already started plotting against Jian Yining.

Everything she said and did in front of Jian Yining was not real; it was all to swindle him out of money!

From beginning to end, it had all been a lie.

Huang Qin was not a poverty-stricken student at all; the so-called "poverty" quota had also been obtained through improper means.

First, she tricked him into sponsoring her tuition and living expenses, packaging herself as a poor but inspirational student; all her various certificates were either Photoshopped from her classmates' certificates or bought.

Huang Qin chatted with her classmates, smugly "imparting" her experience.

She boasted about her shameless act of occupying a poverty quota and swindling people for money as if it were her talent!

She even shamelessly claimed that she was doing justice on behalf of heaven, robbing the rich to help the poor.

She acted grateful in front of Jian Yining, but behind his back, she mocked him for being a fool with too much money, someone who was especially easy to swindle.

The two people who came earlier were indeed her father, a well-known local scoundrel.

He idled away his time all day, swindling one person after another, and had absolutely no experience of carrying bricks at a construction site.

Of course, the so-called "injuries," "passing away," and "being left with no kin" were all lies Huang Qin made up on the spot, with only one goal—to exploit his sympathy and trust, and then step by step get by his side.

Her massage skills were good, not because she was clever and dexterous, but because this woman had a simple face on the outside, while in reality, she had been kept by other men; that "craft" was learned back then.

During the time she was painstakingly trying to get close to Jian Yining, she hadn't been idle either; when Jian Yining wasn't around, she would flirt and be intimate with other men.

There were five or six men she was keeping up ambiguous chats with at the same time, and in front of each man, she wore a different face.

Jian Yining had truly learned a lesson this time; he had thought a woman like Shi Yuke from before was base enough, but it turned out there were even baser ones!

In the chat logs between Huang Qin and her little friends, she detailed how she used tactics step by step to let Wan'er discover her, misunderstand, and come to the door.

There was also how she deliberately provoked the two of them, smashing the Villa to pieces.

The detailed process of her first fake suicide... and the jumping off the building were not real either; everything she did was just to blow things out of proportion.

She wanted to use public opinion and people's natural sympathy for the weak to achieve her goal of climbing up the social ladder.

She was not a simple, poverty-stricken female college student at all; she was a gold-digger through and through!

Destroying someone else's family meant nothing in the eyes of such a woman; she had no concept of morality, justice, or shame.

Everything was about looking toward money and earning more!

The truth was revealed.

All those things that didn't make sense now all clicked!

He printed out all of Huang Qin's chat logs with men, in duplicate.

He kept one copy for himself.

He had the Secretary send the other copy to the hotel for Huang Qin's father; there was no need for idle chatter, just one sentence was enough: "See you in court."

Still planning to ask for compensation?

Compensation, my foot; these were the proofs of the father and daughter colluding to commit fraud.

Seeing that the matter was exposed, Father Huang made an excuse to go to the restroom and jumped from the second floor to escape!

He was only afraid of going in himself, not even caring about his daughter's funeral arrangements.

Jian Yining bought a large bouquet of fresh, dripping roses, along with many things that Wan'er and the children liked to eat, and returned home.

"Splash—"

Just as he got out of the car, a basin of water was splashed over his head, and Jian Yining instantly became a drowned rat.

Ji Yingjie dropped the basin, put her hands on her hips, and struck a posture for a quarrel: "This isn't your home anymore; what are you still coming here for?"

"Haven't you bullied my niece enough? You still dare to chase her to her doorstep, phew! You base person, do you really think there's no one left in our maternal family?"

Ji Yingjie's eyes were spitting fire, her gaze looking as if she wanted to eat someone.

From the moment Jian Yining saw her, he knew it was bad; with her involved, even a small matter could be turned into a big one.

Not to mention that this matter was not small to begin with, and his wife had suffered a great grievance.

"Aunt, you're right to scold me, everything you say is right. Can I say a word to Wan'er? Just one word, I want to apologize to her, and I'll leave after I apologize." Jian Yining knew he was in the wrong and kept a very low profile.

If Ji Yingjie could agree readily, then she wouldn't be Ji Yingjie.

"Apologize?"

She narrowed her eyes and slowed her speech: "You want to apologize to Wan'er? So, you know the true face of that woman, is that it?"

Who was Ji Yingjie?

She was extremely cunning.

The man's sudden change in attitude must mean he had discovered Huang Qin's secret.

In fact, Wan'er already knew about Huang Qin's background; it wasn't hard to investigate, and hiring a private detective would reveal everything.

Jian Yining didn't deny it; what was meant to come would come, and no matter how they treated him, he deserved it!

"Yes, Aunt, I know I was wrong. I was deceived by the simplicity Huang Qin pretended to have. I was blind and stupid as a pig, letting Wan'er suffer so many grievances."

He handed over the stack of chat logs: "Auntie, these are all the chat logs from that woman's phone. Take a look; I truly never touched her once."

When Huang Qin chatted with her little sisters, she had complained that Jian Yining was like a block of wood, showing no interest in that regard despite her clear and subtle hints, and she even suspected he had no interest in women or was simply impotent...

Although this was very humiliating.

It could also prove his innocence.

Jian Yining brought these here just to let his wife see them; even if she could not forgive him, he had to let Wan'er know that he had indeed never done anything that crossed the line.

"Swish, swish!"

Ji Yingjie did not even look at them; she took them and tore them up.

"Hey, why are you..."

"Why am I what? Do you think you can just print out two sheets of paper and have it all end with a lighthearted 'sorry'?"

"Keep dreaming, get lost."

Jian Yining swallowed his pride and continued to act subserviently: "Auntie, as long as you let me see Wan'er, I will agree to any condition."

"Fine, then die to atone for your sins. I will let Wan'er go to your grave to pay her respects and bring you fresh flowers, too."

Jian Yining:...

Ji Yingjie was unrelenting: "You're not willing? Tsk tsk, no wonder there is an old saying in your Jiangzhou that if men are reliable, pigs will climb trees. It is so well said; it really is exactly like that."

"Just a moment ago you said you were willing to do anything for Wan'er, and now you're not willing."

Jian Yining made a bitter face: "Auntie, I am willing to do anything for Wan'er, but you can't make me go die..."

"If you don't die, how can you show your sincerity?"

Inside the room.

Wan'er and Shi Youxuan stood behind the curtains, taking in everything happening downstairs.

Wan'er: "Sister, don't you think Auntie is going too far?" She was a little worried, worried that Jian Yining would have a layer of skin peeled off by her aunt.

"Not too far, it's very measured. Actually, she could be even more excessive."

Shi Youxuan was very supportive; she had never felt that her aunt's actions were so appropriate before.
