Chapter 154

Qin Hanyue: "She never jokes around with people she doesn't know well."

Su Cheng: "Chopping off hands and feet is too extreme."

"Come over here and apologize to her." Su Cheng dragged Su Lingwei over to apologize to Qiao Ying.

Su Lingwei refused, especially in front of Qin Hanyue. She was even more unwilling to lose face, while feeling jealous at the same time.

The man she had been dreaming about and longing for all this time, she never imagined their first meeting in private would be a scene like this...

"I won't apologize. Why should I apologize? It wasn't me who spread the rumor that she was being supported."

Su Cheng: "Keep your mouth shut. I told you to apologize!"

The more Su Cheng tried to force her, the more stubborn Su Lingwei became, even speaking recklessly again.

"Master Qin, this person is definitely not as harmless and innocent as she appears. Don't let her fool you..."

Before Su Lingwei could finish speaking, she was slapped by her father again.

With two slaps in a row, Su Lingwei was completely stunned.

"You still don't know your wrongs!" Su Cheng said in a low voice through gritted teeth: "Can't you see the situation clearly? As long as Qiao Ying says the word, it won't take long before the Su Family Corporation will have to change its name. Are you trying to bring down the entire Su family?"

Su Lingwei looked at Qin Hanyue and finally realized that the one she had offended was not Qiao Ying, but Qin Hanyue.

In that instant, overwhelming fear came crashing down.

Su Cheng shook his head, helplessly saying: "It's my fault for not teaching her well. I'm also responsible for the things she did. I apologize to you."

Su Cheng bowed deeply to Qiao Ying.

"Dad..." Seeing her father, whom she had always respected, bowing to Qiao Ying to apologize, Su Lingwei felt aggrieved.

Su Cheng: "Today I will have her publicly clarify things."

Qiao Ying: "That's it?"

Su Cheng: "Girl, you can hit her or scold her, report her to the police to have her locked up, I promise I won't say another word. But chopping off hands and feet... I'm begging you, just let her off this once, okay?"

Su Zhan also pleaded for leniency.

Zhang Chengyong walked over to Qiao Ying’s side.

Lowering his voice, he said: "Qiao, change the punishment, this person is hateful, but chopping off hands and feet is too much. And you’re now also a Su family member yourself, that's an unchangeable fact. Your biological father and these two uncles had a very good relationship. If he were still alive, he definitely wouldn't let you do this. Do it as a favor in memory of your biological father and make an exception."

Qiao Ying: "If it’s so troublesome, I might as well just kill her."

Zhang Chengyong was frightened: "Hey, girl, your words are getting more and more frightening. My old heart has not been well recently."

Qiao Ying looked at Su Lingwei: "You seem to care a lot about your status as the Young Miss of the Su Family."

Su Lingwei looked at her, not knowing what Qiao Ying was going to do.

Qiao Ying: "I can spare her hands and feet, but on the condition that she is expelled from the Su Family. And a press conference will be held for her to publicly admit everything herself."

Seeing the reaction of the Su Family, Huo Chengdong chuckled to himself: This move is vicious.

These big aristocratic families most fear this kind of scandal. Usually when something happens, they spend money to cover it up as quickly as possible.

To have the Su Family expose themselves and reveal everything in public, they would lose face completely. Especially with Su Lingwei caring so much about her image, this move was almost fatal to her.

Then the Su Family’s stocks would plummet. With this huge loss, following another blow from Qin Hanyue in the business world, how could the Su Family continue on?

There was no need for Qin Hanyue to step in. With Qiao Ying’s amazing computer skills, she could handle it herself.

Qin Hanyue leisurely said: "There’s no need to make things that complicated. With one word from you, I can drive all of them out of the Su Family."

The two sang a duet, scaring the Su Family white.

Su Lingwei was so frightened she cried, repeatedly saying she knew her wrongs, just short of kneeling down to Qiao Ying and Qin Hanyue.

Su Cheng: "Fine, I agree to your terms. First thing tomorrow morning I will hold a press conference. She has done such things, I have let down your father and no longer have the face to remain in the Su Family. After the press conference, I will leave the Su Family with her and never let her appear before you again."

Soon after,

The official Kyoto University forum released two videos.

One was a third-year student from the school admitting in front of the camera that he had taken money to spread rumors and maliciously photoshopped images.

The other video was of the mastermind behind it, Su Lingwei.

These two videos were forwarded to every student group at Kyoto University and were also screened in all the cafeterias, gym, dance studio, and electronic screens of all student organizations.

Afterward, the school released a bulletin—

The student who spread rumors was expelled. Li Shiyin, who had previously led the rumor that Qiao Ying was being supported, was expelled. Two roommates who helped spread the rumors were given a major demerit. Added to their previous two demerits, they also faced expulsion.

However, no one cared about the truth anymore.

Qin Hanyue’s appearance had shocked the entire campus.

Students squeezed together in the corridors of classroom buildings, or gathered downstairs, watching or enlarging the screen on their phones, looking at the two people leisurely walking around campus in the distance.

The previous scene of Attorney Cheng teaching class was repeated, but unlike Attorney Cheng, the students didn’t dare to approach or strike up a conversation with this boss character.

They only dared look from afar.

“Qiao the campus belle is too low-key. If I had all these awesome friends, I would’ve turned the whole campus upside down. I just want to know if those people who previously said it was wishful thinking to criticize others and told people to delete their posts to save their own lives, are their faces hurting now or not?”

“That height, that look... Sorry Attorney Cheng I’m climbing the wall. The charisma of this man, I really can’t stand it!”

“Can someone tell me how she manages to stay so calm with such a handsome and prominent character by her side? If it were me, my face would’ve cracked from smiling so hard long ago.”

“On Qiao the campus beauty’s awesome friends.”

“So handsome yet he was rumored to be a greasy ugly older rich man. The rumor spreaders ought to be struck by lightning. So that Su Lingwei spread rumors because of jealousy?”

“I felt nothing when she was exposed for getting plastic surgery and liposuction. But when this boss character appeared, I felt it was completely outrageous! Yet the most outrageous thing turned out to be true!”

“So what’s the relationship between Qiao the campus beauty and this big boss? They can’t be old acquaintances, can they?”

“I think they look like lovers.”

Like the previous incident with Attorney Cheng appearing at Kyoto University, Qin Hanyue’s appearance at the school easily ranked at the top of news headlines, creating explosive shockwaves at universities across the country.

As the head of the most influential business empire locally and globally, Qin Hanyue attracted much more attention and commanded greater power than Attorney Cheng in terms of both status and authority.

It wasn’t just students from several universities paying attention to this matter, but news outlets, the entire upper-class social circle, and even the whole city of Kyoto...

Just as Huo Chengdong imagined, as soon as the Su Family held a press conference, they were thrust into the eye of a storm, causing great fluctuations in their stock.

After a little digging, people found out that the Su Family had offended none other than Qin Hanyue. In the future, business would be difficult for them in this field.

And Su Cheng remained true to his word, leaving the Su Family with his wife and daughter to go abroad, leaving Su Zhan alone to deal with the difficult situation.

Su Lingwei became a laughingstock across the city.

It started to snow.

Unlike the vibrant summer, Kyoto in winter after the onset of cold lost its former vigor.

Everyone bundled up in thick padded jackets and trudged slowly through the snow.

No one would go out if they didn’t have to.

In the airport lobby,

People milled about.

Qiao Ying stood by the arrival gate, head lowered as she played on her phone while waiting for someone.

Suddenly hearing movement, the sound of orderly footsteps, clearly the mark of trained discipline, Qiao Ying looked up.

She saw over a dozen bodyguards in suits appear at the VIP arrival hall, and the tallest person standing at the very front was Qin Hanyue.

Qin Hanyue, who was not looking around, was apparently still unaware of her presence.

Could he also be here to pick someone up?

Whoever he's personally here to pick up must be someone important.

Qiao Ying did not go up to greet him.

Soon, there was noise coming from the arrivals gate as a few passengers emerged.

Qiao Ying put away her phone.

Passengers continued trickling out.

Among the crowd of passengers, a tall young man with strikingly devilish looks emerged with his conspicuous hair.

His silver white hair was tied back halfway to the length of his ears, with a few strands falling out to give a casually messy aesthetic, though upon closer look it was a styling with careful detail.

The man had a slender figure and was dressed even more stylishly than entertainment celebrities, clearly evidencing a stylist's work.

With a tall nose bridge and pale complexion contrasting his pair of deep brown eyes, the mixed heritage in his genes, though subtle, lent his features more depth compared to that of Asians.

The more his almond-shaped eyes caught the light, the more alluring and ambiguous they became.

With one hand tucked into the pocket of his long windbreaker coat and the other pushing his luggage, his emergence garnered countless gazes like a celebrity walking down the red carpet.

One word came to Qiao Ying's mind: flamboyant.

Ye Si's eyes scanned the crowd.

He had never seen what Xue Ying currently looked like, with his multiple video invitations harshly declined, and he was dying of curiosity.

Even though he had never seen her before, the moment his eyes met Qiao Ying's, he instantly knew.

Ye Si strode out of the passageway, dragging his luggage behind his long legs as he dashed towards Qiao Ying.

Closing the remaining distance between them, he tossed aside his luggage and fiercely pulled her into an embrace.
