Chapter 185: [What Is Your Daughter Worth?]
"Pa!"
Qin Yunlei fiercely slapped himself again.
"I should have realized earlier that Qingtian is no ordinary person. How could the son of my brother be ordinary? Lingyue said he excels in studies and basketball in every aspect. Is that something an average person can achieve?"
"Pa!"
The third slap.
"Why did Qingtian call off his engagement with Lingyue? It’s not because he is self-abasing or arrogant. The truth is, Lingyue simply doesn’t catch Qingtian’s eye! She’s utterly unqualified!"
"Pa!"
The fourth slap.
"When my brother came to Jin City, we were still desperately trying to persuade Qingtian to return to the Ye Family. Haha, he is already a dominant figure in the Northwest, and given time, he might reach the level where he can face the four great familes head-on!"
"Pa!"
The fifth slap.
"He contradicted my brother and sister-in-law, and I naively thought it was because of the unique character developed from lack of discipline since young. Now it seems he truly has the ability to confront my brother! He won’t lose out in aura either! As the first among the young generation in Huaxia Martial Arts Realm, maybe the Tianjing Ye Family really isn’t worth much at all! In the end, I played the role of a clown!"
"Pa!"
The sixth slap.
"Kang Juntao can become the representative of the alliance, and I didn’t even question it! If not for the influence of this woman, I would have discovered it earlier."
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
...
"Pa!"
The tenth slap.
After slapping himself, Qin Yunlei looked at Kang Meiyi: "I actually listened to this woman’s words and wrongly accused Qingtian. The matter with He Tianju is such that he drugged my daughter Lingyue, and Qingtian saw it and stepped in to save Lingyue by crippling him!"
Qin Yunlei slapped himself a total of ten times.
"Ah? So that’s how it really was!"
Everyone was relieved and nodded one after another.
However, Ye Qingtian’s voice rang out: "No, I didn’t save her. It was just that the useless man threatened me after being caught in the act."
"Qingtian, uncle is sorry to you. I didn’t fulfill my responsibilities, but instead directly and indirectly made things difficult for you! Especially today, I pushed you out to be the scapegoat!"
Qin Yunlei looked utterly dejected, as if aged by decade in an instant, his face filled with pain, and his expression even grotesquely twisted.
His eyes were full of regret and apology.
Though it may seem on the surface that he aided Ye Qingtian, he knew well what truly happened.
"Oh, right, I remembered. Lingtian once followed the people from Wangyue Pavilion to Hidden Forest World to invade Mountain and River Wonders, and all others perished. Only Lingtian, severely injured, survived. Qingtian, did you spare him because of me?"
Qin Yunlei asked.
Ye Qingtian said nothing, thus tacitly admitting.
"Ah? So, the reason Lingtian was severely injured was because of this. If it weren’t for considering Yunlei’s sake, the genius of Qin Family would have long been gone!"
Only then did everyone gradually come to realize.
"Young Master Ye, many of Qin Yunlei’s wrongdoings are related to my troublesome daughter, please spare her!"
Seeing the situation becoming critical, Kang Jiuming stepped forward to earnestly plead with Ye Qingtian to spare Kang Meiyi.
Kang Jiuming lay on the ground, head completely bowed, not daring to look Ye Qingtian in the eye.
Ye Qingtian glanced coldly and said, "Get out of my sight! Does a slave have the qualification to negotiate?"
"Yes, Master!"
Kang Jiuming meekly moved aside without another word.
"Hiss!"
This scene made the atmosphere suddenly freeze.
The Qin Family members seemed driven to madness seeing this scene...
Especially Kang Meiyi, who felt like an obstruction lodged in her throat, breathing was difficult, she was on the verge of suffocation, as though a rope was tightening around her neck.
The mythical Northwest Super Clan and once unrestrained powerhouse Kang Family had actually become the slaves of Ye Qingtian. Seeing her father kneeling before Ye Qingtian, the sensation was unbearable indeed, like nine thunders aimed at her, exploding her body, yet leaving a sliver of consciousness.
Born into a top-tier family, her perspective was extremely high, and her developed noble sensibilities since youth guided her into considering matters from a benefit standpoint.
For example, Qin Lingyue’s marriage—she simply regarded it as an investment.
Previously, Ye Qingtian was undoubtedly the worst investment environment, a guaranteed loss.
But now, Ye Qingtian has transformed into an unattainable existence.
In her eyes, the invincible Kang Family and other super-families had become mere slaves...
With a sudden realization, Kang Meiyi’s eyes brightened as she rushed before Ye Qingtian: "Qingtian, it’s Auntie’s fault! Yes, Auntie has wronged you! I’ve done too many things against you in the past; Auntie was blind, Auntie was petty, Auntie’s character was too poor...
I know it’s impossible to earn your forgiveness, but I only hope you won’t blame Yunlei and Lingyue, all these things were orchestrated by me behind the scenes, nothing to do with them!"
Watching Kang Meiyi kneel on the ground left everyone dumbfounded.
Can this even be done?
Has Kang Meiyi gone mad?
"Actually, Lingyue is a good girl, she just followed my opinions too much. In fact, she’s a good person. Yunlei originally had a good judgment, wanting to marry Lingyue to you. Honestly, I think you and Lingyue match well; if you don’t mind, you and Lingyue can get together immediately! You can even marry right away! Lingyue isn’t bad at all! In Jin City, she’s the top beauty! Qingtian and Lingyue together won’t be a loss, a beauty matched to a hero!"
Only now did everyone understand the reason behind Kang Meiyi’s actions, using her degraded state to push Ye Qingtian and Qin Lingyue together.
"Haha, what about me? Compared to your Qin Lingyue?"
Suddenly, Qiaoqiao of the Qiao Family stepped forward, sneering coldly.
"Uh..."
Kang Meiyi was completely stunned, unable to speak.
In terms of elegance, beauty, or family background, Qiaoqiao surpasses Qin Lingyue by a considerable margin.
"Then what about me compared to Qin Lingyue?"
Surprisingly, Tan Yushi also stood out, her gaze directly on Qin Lingyue.
"This..."
Kang Meiyi was utterly shocked.
"And you could also compare with me!"
To everyone’s surprise, Xu Yiren from Xiaxi Province’s Xu Family also stepped out.
Regarding Xu Yiren, Kang Meiyi and other Qin Family members were aware that Xu Yiren is Jin City University’s top beauty, excelling in every aspect over Qin Lingyue, was Qin Lingyue’s target to strive for.
"Ugh!"
Kang Meiyi felt a sweetness in her chest as a mouthful of blood surged in her throat.
"Can I compare too?"
Zhao Yiran also stepped forward.
Once the most cherished granddaughter of the Northwest’s first family, the Lei Family’s Patriarch Zhao Yiran.
Kang Meiyi’s body trembled violently, unable to stop herself from stepping back a few steps.
"Since you’ve all come forward, let me join in the fun too!"
With a melodious voice, Western Shu’s top beauty Tang Yanwan also walked into view.
"Pfft!"
Watching the scene unfold, Kang Meiyi could no longer contain it, spewing a mouthful of blood.
Her face paled to the extreme; this was an inconceivable scenario she couldn’t imagine.
