The Rich Second-Generation Villain With No Morals

Chapter 80

"I hope you keep your word."

Qi Xueyao clutched her clothes, her eyes red as she gave Qi Lin a final glance before running out of his room.

After leaving, she leaned against the wall outside, slowly sliding down onto the carpet. Tears once again trickled silently down her cheeks.

"I only did this for my career. I did nothing wrong. This isn’t my fault."

"Jiang Lei and I aren’t even in a relationship, so I didn’t betray him, right?"

"And I held onto my final dignity. I still have my innocence, right?"

She muttered through her sobs as if trying to console herself, or perhaps explaining to Jiang Lei in her mind.

Truly fitting for a novel’s heroine—even in her most vulnerable moment, she held onto her last boundary, refusing to let Qi Lin take everything from her.

Inside the room, Qi Lin lit a cigarette, amusement flickering across his face."Your last dignity? Just another delusion?"

"Qi Xueyao, you're already finished, do you know that?"

At that moment, Qi Lin took out his phone and casually flipped through the photos stored inside.

"Sister Xueyao, since you were so sincere, I’ll give you a chance to negotiate. If you agree to three conditions, I’ll call Director Qin right now."

Qi Lin walked down to the living room and saw Qi Xueyao sitting on the sofa, lost in thought, her eyes still red.

She seemed completely immersed in her own world.

Hearing Qi Lin’s words, she immediately stood up, her emotions flaring. "Qi Lin, what do you mean by this? I already did what you asked, and now you're saying I only have the right to negotiate? Will you only be satisfied if I’m completely broken?"

Break Qi Xueyao?

Of course not.

Letting someone die was not a punishment; it was a relief.

After all, if she were dead, she wouldn’t be able to experience true despair.

"Don’t be so agitated. At least hear my conditions first."

Qi Lin sat beside her and played with her delicate hand.

Qi Xueyao glared at him. If his conditions were unacceptable, she would go straight to the kitchen, grab a knife, and fight him to the death.

"First, from now on, you have to wash all my clothes. No washing machines—hand-washed until they’re fresh and fragrant."

"Second, you’ll cook dinner every night. I want to eat the meals you make."

"Third, every night, you’ll give me a massage to help me relax."

"That’s all."

Qi Lin spoke lazily, stretching comfortably.

Qi Xueyao’s eyes widened in disbelief.

"Qi Lin? You bastard, are you treating me like your maid?"

Qi Lin blinked and smiled. "Why can’t you be my wife instead? Wives do these things for their husbands, don’t they? And earlier, we did something only husbands and wives do, didn’t we?"

Qi Xueyao was completely speechless, her face burning red.

A silent seduction—far deadlier than words.

Qi Lin always claimed she was just a toy to him, yet now he was implying that they had crossed into husband-and-wife territory. How could she not feel both embarrassed and furious?

"Who’s your wife? Qi Lin, do you even have any shame?"

She glared at him, anger and humiliation flashing in her eyes.

"Just answer me—do you agree or not? If you do, start with a back massage. I'll call Director Qin right away."

Qi Lin removed his shirt and lay down on the sofa.

Qi Xueyao bit her lip.

None of these conditions were truly difficult. The hardest part had already passed—why hesitate over a few more tasks?

Blushing, she sat beside him and began to massage his back.

His broad, muscular back, the perfect contours of his physique… Even though she had already seen them earlier, her fingers still trembled as she touched him.

"Sigh, doing what a wife does, but refusing to be one. So many girls would kill for this opportunity."

With another teasing remark, Qi Lin smugly dialed Jiang Lei’s number.

"Brother-in-law, it's me, Qi Lin!"

"You? Haven’t you done enough to ruin me? Why the hell are you calling me?"

Jiang Lei immediately erupted with anger upon hearing Qi Lin’s voice.

He had no idea that Qi Xueyao had gone to ask Qi Lin for help. To him, Qi Lin was already an enemy.

Hearing Jiang Lei’s rage, Qi Xueyao felt an overwhelming sense of guilt. Remembering what she had just done, her face flushed with shame, and she instinctively wanted to stop the massage.

But Qi Lin grabbed her hand and made her continue.

"Brother-in-law, you misunderstood what happened earlier. Director Qin misheard what I said and mistook you for a fraud. I just called him, and he told me you can go get your business license tomorrow. You’ll also get your money back."

Qi Lin spoke cheerfully.

Jiang Lei was completely stunned.

In the afternoon, Qi Lin had sabotaged him. Now, he was calling in the evening to say it was all a misunderstanding and that Director Qin had already fixed everything?

"Could it be… Did I really misunderstand Qi Lin?"

Jiang Lei hesitated.

But he had no idea that Qi Lin had only helped because his beloved had traded herself to the devil in exchange.

"Qi Lin, what are you trying to do? You said you’d call Director Qin—why are you talking to Jiang Lei instead?"

After the call ended, Qi Xueyao was fuming.

"Relax. I was just giving him a little good news in advance. To be honest, before you even came back, I had already called Director Qin. Jiang Lei just needs to go handle the paperwork tomorrow."

Qi Lin enjoyed her massage with a grin.

She might not be as skilled as a professional masseuse, but her delicate, boneless hands made the experience a luxury that no ordinary person could ever enjoy.

After all, Qi Xueyao was a future billionaire.

"You already contacted Director Qin before I even came back? So you knew I would end up agreeing to your conditions?"

Qi Xueyao was stunned, staring at Qi Lin in disbelief.

"What do you think?"

Qi Lin smirked confidently.

At that moment, Qi Xueyao fell silent.

She suddenly realized just how terrifying Qi Lin was. His ability to read and manipulate people had reached an unfathomable level.

"Do I really need to keep fighting him? Can I even win against him?"

For the first time, Qi Xueyao felt completely lost.

Before she could process her thoughts, Qi Lin suddenly turned around and pulled her into his arms, stealing a kiss.

Her eyes widened in embarrassment as she instinctively tried to push him away.

But after a few seconds, she gave up.

After everything that had happened, what was another kiss?

Let him do whatever he wanted.

Her eyes gradually closed, her flushed face softening.

She realized that without resistance, the experience wasn’t as unpleasant as she had imagined.

After enduring an emotional rollercoaster all day and being relentlessly toyed with by Qi Lin, she finally took a bath and returned to her room to rest.

Meanwhile, Qi Lin leaned against his pillow and opened a brand-new diary.

Just moments ago, when he had been negotiating with Qi Xueyao, the system had issued a new god-tier choice.

[Ding! The host has detected that the heroine, Qi Xueyao, is facing new troubles and needs Director Qin’s help to secure a business license and reclaim her lost money. Please make a choice.]

[Choice: Help Qi Xueyao unconditionally. Reward: + Charm Points.]

[Choice: Refuse to help Qi Xueyao. Reward: Cashback Card with a limit of 100,000 yuan.]

[Choice: "Qi Xueyao, you don’t want your training center to go under, do you?" Reward: A three-story commercial building in Rose Bay.]

After seeing the system rewards, Qi Lin immediately sat up.

"If I remember correctly, Rose Bay is where Lan Yuxi’s aunt, Xia Sha, owns a restaurant, right? That means it’s right next to her place?"

Xia Sha had a special identity. She was one of the few women who had genuinely caught Qi Lin’s interest.

But the problem was that, at present, Xia Sha neither had a boyfriend nor a husband. In his previous life, Qi Lin had no interaction with her, so he had no idea what her future held. Winning her over wouldn’t be as simple as threatening her like he did with Lan Yuxi.

"This commercial building is a godsend. If I open a restaurant right next to Xia Sha’s, drive her business into the ground, and then swoop in to help when she’s at her lowest… wouldn’t that be the perfect way to open her heart to me?"

Qi Lin smirked, his expression filled with mischief.

At the same time, he was also pleased with the economic value of the property.

After the New Year, Rose Bay’s prime location would make the value of a three-story restaurant soar to at least tens of millions.

Even right now, it was worth over a million.

The property deed and all legal ownership documents were already in his possession, provided by the system.

Qi Lin placed them securely in his safe before continuing to read Qiu Yuelin’s diary.

[Year, Month, Day.

That Qi Lin's gaze is terrifying. Now, even Hu Bing has been demoted because of him. If Qi Lin causes trouble in class again, what should I do?

Sigh… I was so distracted thinking about Qi Lin that I wasn’t watching where I was going and ended up knocking over an old woman.

Wait… why are several people suddenly approaching me? Could this be a scam?

It must be! The streets of Xiang'ao Road are usually empty. There was no one ahead of me just now, and suddenly, an old woman appears out of nowhere? This has to be an organized scam.

Stay calm, I have to stay calm. I shouldn’t stop to check—I should leave immediately.

Phew~ Luckily, I was cycling fast enough. Those people couldn’t catch up to me.

Yes, they were definitely scammers. If it was truly my fault, I would take responsibility. But those people were clearly setting me up. As a girl, staying there would have been too dangerous. I did nothing wrong.]

That was where the diary entry ended.

Qi Lin stroked his chin and chuckled.

"This substitute senior seems a little airheaded, but she’s surprisingly sharp when it matters. She figured out it was a scam just by observing small details."

"If she had stayed, being scammed for money would’ve been the least of her worries. A girl that pretty, in a chaotic situation… who knows what might’ve happened?"

"But now that I know about this scam, maybe I should make it real tomorrow?"

A mischievous smirk appeared on Qi Lin’s face.

Though she had no personal grudge against him, Qiu Yuelin was destined to be Hu Bing’s future girlfriend. That made her one of the female leads.

And a female lead was part of the protagonist’s fortune.

If he wanted to crush the protagonist’s luck, he had to go after her.

After finishing Qiu Yuelin’s diary, Qi Lin picked up Lan Yuxi’s.

[Oh my god, Wang Cheng is amazing!

This afternoon, Wang Cheng skipped class for the first time. Just as everyone was worried about what had happened to him, the police brought him back to school.

Turns out, he skipped class to catch a criminal!

The suspect he caught was the same one who had my dad losing sleep for days—the one who murdered an entire family of three.

Wang Cheng told us that a few days ago, while walking home, he spotted someone acting suspiciously in a reed field. He immediately thought of the fugitive wanted on TV and in the newspapers.

But he wasn’t sure, and he didn’t want to alert the suspect.

When he returned this afternoon, the reed field was empty. He assumed the suspect had relocated because it wasn’t safe anymore.

Since Wang Cheng had studied some criminal investigation techniques, he followed the clues left behind and tracked the fugitive to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Huangchuan.

After confirming that the suspect hadn’t moved again, he immediately called the police and waited for them to arrive.

A high school senior solving a major case—it was all over the city news. The police department even awarded Wang Cheng a cash prize of 50,000 yuan!

My dad is full of praise for Wang Cheng. He told me to learn from him.

Hehe, Wang Cheng confessed to me again in private. He’s really amazing, but a girl has to maintain her pride, so I told him I’d only give him an answer after the college entrance exams.]

That was the end of Lan Yuxi’s diary entry.

Qi Lin’s dark eyes narrowed slightly.

"In my past life, Wang Cheng never solved any major cases. It looks like my interference has caused him to change too."

"But that’s a good thing. Now that I know where the suspect is hiding, how could I not take this enormous opportunity for myself?"

"Cracking a major case in high school will earn extra points for college entrance exams. Later, in business, it’ll make him a promising young entrepreneur."

"The perks of being a novel protagonist… Even after reincarnation, he still enjoys the privileges of this identity."

"But luck eventually runs out. Once I strip him of all his good fortune, let’s see how a broke nobody like him plans to make a comeback."

Finally, there was Qi Xueyao’s diary.

However, Qi Lin guessed that after everything that happened today, her luck hadn’t refreshed yet. There probably wouldn’t be anything useful in her entry.

[Qi Lin is such a bastard! He actually made me wash his clothes, cook, and give him massages. What does he take me for?

When will this nightmare end? Work is already exhausting enough, and now when I come home, I have to take care of a giant man-child. Am I supposed to be a strong independent woman, or a full-time housewife?!]

Her diary only had two short entries, but Qi Lin burst out laughing.

"An entire diary entry dedicated to me… Cousin, you’ve fallen harder than Lan Yuxi."

He knew exactly why.

After being carried into his room, Qi Xueyao had given everything to him—except her innocence.

Of course, her mind would be full of thoughts about him.

…

"Lilin, are you sure you don’t want Mom to send a driver to take you to school?"

In front of a villa with a small garden, Qiu Yuelin sat on a cute pink bicycle.

Beside her stood a dignified woman in her fifties.

"Mom, I’ve already graduated from college. It’s time for me to be independent. You shouldn’t treat me like a little kid anymore."

Qiu Yuelin pouted, annoyed by her mother’s concern.

"Silly girl, no matter how old you get, you’ll always be my baby. There’s been a murder case in Jianghan City recently, and the suspect still hasn’t been caught. Of course, I’m worried about you."

Her mother sighed helplessly.

"The streets are filled with police right now. If I were the criminal, I’d hide in a deserted place, not wander around. Anyway, I’m off to work."

Qiu Yuelin smiled sweetly and waved goodbye.

If Qi Lin were here, he would’ve smirked.

"No wonder Hu Bing is obsessed with Qiu Yuelin. So she’s a rich girl too. If he marries her, he’ll have money, connections, and status—all handed to him on a silver platter. That’s at least ten years of hard work skipped."

In the end… nothing beats living off a rich woman.
