Chapter 399
Chapter 399
After shouting, Wen Bo seemed completely drained of strength, as if all his energy had been sucked out of him. For someone like him, who grew up with his mother, standing up to her was an emotionally exhausting ordeal.
If it weren’t for the events of today that pushed him, he might never have been able to do it in his entire life.
But now that it was out in the open, he felt a wave of confusion.
Wen's mother was completely stunned. She couldn’t hold on anymore and collapsed to the ground, wailing and cursing Wen Bo hysterically.
Wen Bo was so mentally exhausted that he didn’t want to deal with her anymore. He turned his head to look at Qin Jing.
Qin Xiaoyu immediately stepped forward, blocking Wen Bo’s line of sight. “Don’t ever contact us again, or don’t blame us for using extreme measures.”
After saying this, she pulled her brother and left.
Qin Chao followed them, and the group left the noisy scene together.
But Wen Bo, unwilling to give up, ran after them. It turned out that he genuinely liked Qin Jing.
“I liked you sincerely without even meeting you, doesn’t that mean I love your soul? Why is it that when you see the real me, you regret it? I never had real feelings for your sister, but I have them for you. Can’t you at least give me a chance?”
Qin Jing instantly flew into a rage and punched him again. “Shut up! Just the fact that you deceived my sister while pretending to be a man is enough for me to beat you to death! And now you’re playing both sides between us? Who the hell do you think you are?”
Qin Xiaoyu, equally furious, heaved with anger at Wen Bo’s comment about not having real feelings for her. She had feelings for him—he just didn’t.
“I had no choice! I admit I made many mistakes, but… does being born gay mean I don’t deserve real love?” Wen Bo pleaded, unwilling to let it go.
“Shut the hell up!” Qin Chao snapped. “You think you can exchange fake emotions for real love? You’re delusional. Even scammers would worship you as their master!”
“What do you even understand about me? My life is a tragedy. I can’t love who I want to love, and I can’t hate who I want to hate!” Wen Bo argued, his voice filled with despair.
Ji Fei couldn’t help but find him utterly ridiculous.
“Half of your tragic life is because of your mother, but the other half is the result of your own choices. Stop acting all deep and romantic. Let me guess—if today’s events hadn’t been exposed, what would you have done?”
Wen Bo froze, and everyone else looked at Ji Fei, puzzled by her sudden statement.
Ji Fei smiled. “You wouldn’t have broken up with Qin Xiaoyu because you need her money to support your team. You also need her to be a bridge to get close to Qin Jing. But you know Qin Jing wouldn’t accept another man. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have dared to reveal your identity. The only way for you to stay close to the person you like is to marry Qin Xiaoyu and interact with Qin Jing as a relative. Just like tonight—pretending to accompany your girlfriend while secretly finding ways to get close to Qin Jing. If your relationship got closer over time, it would satisfy your selfish desires even more.”
As Ji Fei spoke, Wen Bo’s face grew more and more terrified because she had hit the nail on the head.
Meanwhile, Qin Jing and Qin Xiaoyu’s expressions darkened, as if they had swallowed countless flies.
Their gazes toward Wen Bo were as sharp as knives.
Ji Fei genuinely looked down on Wen Bo.
[Unlike his father, who initially didn’t know his own situation but decisively left his mother after figuring it out—making amends and stopping the damage—Wen Bo knew exactly who he was and still chose to deceive others. And not just one person, but two. What did he want? To have the best of both worlds? To enjoy the so-called respectability of a relationship while staying close to the person he truly liked?]
Qin Chao and Qin Rong agreed with Ji Fei’s assessment.
Someone like Wen Bo, who still had the audacity to show up, was truly shameless. Sure, he had his difficulties, but why should others pay for them?
At this point, Qin Xiaoyu kicked Wen Bo away. Wen Bo didn’t dare fight back and stood there blankly.
Qin Xiaoyu and Qin Jing left without a glance, as if looking at him even once more would dirty their eyes.
Since it wasn’t appropriate to discuss this matter in front of them, the group quietly returned to the Old Residence.
Qin Xiaoyu and Qin Jing both went back to their rooms.
Originally, Uncle Qin Xi wanted to talk to them, especially after Grandma Lü had urged him to finalize the guest list for an event. He had planned to check in with the twins about bringing their significant others.
“What’s wrong with them? Didn’t they see me?” Uncle Qin Xi came from the side and waved at them, but the two had already disappeared.
The other young people in the Qin family were in the main hall and, hearing this, curiously looked at the group that had just returned. They seemed out of sorts, like they’d lost their souls.
The only one who looked awkwardly guilty was Qin Yan—she was already updated on the gossip in her private group chat.
“They’re in a bad mood,” Qin Xian said.
“Huh? What happened? Weren’t they just watching her boyfriend’s competition? Did Qin Xiaoyu and her boyfriend get into a fight? I was going to ask them if their significant others are coming to the event,” Uncle Qin Xi said helplessly.
Qin Chao replied, “To put it simply, something strange happened to both of them tonight. Since they didn’t ask us to keep it a secret, I’ll go ahead and share.”
Everyone found his vague explanation infuriating and pressed him to spill the details.
“One was almost tricked into being a ‘beard,’ and the other was deceived by a crossdressing woman. And the same person was behind both incidents.”
Qin Chao knew how to drop a bombshell. His explanation was so unexpected and convoluted that it took everyone a moment to process.
Uncle Qin Xi was so shocked that he almost fell over, only to be steadied by Qin Xian and guided to sit on the sofa.
A moment later, the usually mild-tempered Uncle Qin Xi cursed, “Damn it! Someone dared to hurt my children!”
With that, he stormed upstairs.
Qin Yi, still in disbelief, repeated, “So Qin Xiaoyu’s boyfriend, the one she’s been throwing money at, was pretending to be a woman to date Qin Jing online?!”
Everyone nodded.
Qin Wenqiang asked, “And this came out tonight?”
They nodded again.
Then Qin Chao and Qin Rong recounted the night’s events in vivid detail.
Qin Jiaxi trembled as she poured herself tea to calm down—it was all just too absurd.
The crowd was left dumbfounded, unsure of what to say. The next day, everyone was cautious around the twins, who, apart from their red and swollen eyes, didn’t act out of the ordinary.
But for the twins, this was a painful lesson in their love lives.
Uncle Qin Xi initially wanted to confront Wen Bo, but Qin Xiaoyu and Qin Jing stopped him, saying there was no point in pursuing it further.
Qin Jing blocked all contact, deleted all records, and Qin Xiaoyu withdrew her financial support.
Though they didn’t publicly blacklist Wen Bo, the incident couldn’t be kept under wraps. His actions, which violated moral boundaries, inevitably came to light and led to consequences. He was banned from competitions for a period.
Given his age, he was already nearing retirement in the esports scene, but this scandal ensured a bleak end to his career. Opportunities for coaching, streaming, or even sparring disappeared. No one wanted to offend the Qin family over a scumbag like him. Wen Bo was left with no choice but to quietly exit the scene.
What conflicts he might later face with his family no longer concerned Ji Fei.
It was merely a passing episode in her eyes.
Such trivial matters weren’t worth mentioning to the elders. She didn’t want to give the Old Master a reason to go to the temple again.
However, the situation the master had mentioned seemed to still be unfolding.
One day, as they were playing in the Old Residence, a commotion erupted in the main building. The usually kind-hearted Old Master was furious, yelling in anger.
The younger generation didn’t dare approach, waiting until someone came to explain. It turned out that something had happened with Fifth Aunt’s family.
This time, the couple had returned to finalize their divorce. Fifth Aunt had informed the family beforehand.
Someone gasped, “Oh my God, another divorce?”
