TISHW 154




Chapter 154 To the limit

It took Jiang Yu a while to recover. Just as she was so embarrassed that she wanted to pinch someone, she turned her head and saw Qin Shiyu's red ears.

Obviously, he wasn't as eased as he appeared. This made Jiang Yu feel more mentally balanced and pushed him to stand up.

Qin Shiyu didn’t stop her. He let go of her and supported her standing up. After Jiang Yu stood firm and looked at his calm expression, her eyes spun. Suddenly, she leaned over and blew into his ear.

Qin Shiyu froze. Jiang Yu snickered before turning around and running away.

Qin Shiyu:......

He couldn't help but laugh when watching Jiang Yu's running back. When she disappeared behind the bedroom door, he lowered his head and buried his face in the sofa in front of him. It took a while for the heat in his ears to gradually subside.

The problem-solving method of the verification method was indeed a bit exciting.

That was until the hot search alarm on the phone rang again. The hot searches of Qin Luochuan and Sun Lingqian climbed to the front row. Along with it, the topic of him and Jiang Yu was discussed by more people.

Qin Shiyu glanced at his cell phone a few times. Jiang Yu ran out of the bedroom again.

Before she could speak, the doorbell rang. Jiang Yu went to open the door first. The vegetables, meat and eggs she had ordered arrived.

After putting away her things, she turned around and saw Qin Shiyu already sitting on the sofa, lazily leaning on the back of the sofa and staring at his phone. One could tell he was a little tired.

That’s right, He didn’t sleep well the day before yesterday, and had another busy day yesterday. Today, he was originally scheduled to arrive in the afternoon, but rushed back in the morning. Just thinking about it, one knew he definitely didn’t get a good rest.

Jiang Yu put the Weibo incident to the back of their head and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Qin Shiyu shook his head. When he wasn't with Jiang Yu, he never asked for these things. This time he was in a hurry to come back to meet her and slept all the way on the plane.  

Jiang Yu first gave him a piece of bread, "Hold on, we'll eat in a bit."

Then she turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare for cooking. Qin Shiyu held the bread in his mouth and followed in. He took the initiative to sort out the things she bought. When he saw her preparing to make noodles, he said, "Have noodles? Braised rice is fine, no need to go through that much trouble.”

Jiang Yu glanced at him, "Go out, have dumplings, come home to noodles. Don't do surprise attacks in the future and let people be prepared."

Hearing this, Qin Shiyu halted. After he realized what she said, his eyes unconsciously curved and he smiled like a flower blooming, "Okay."

Infected by him, Jiang Yu smiled.

Qin Shiyu finished the bread in two bites, then took an apron, and put it on, "What vegetables do you need?"

Jiang Yu said, "Soak the fungus, wash and dice the mushrooms, peel and dice the potatoes."

The two of them chatted about the matter on Weibo while they were busy.

"Why is Qin Luochuan participating in the variety show? Shouldn't he be handling Qin Xingye now and not have too much time to take care of himself?"

Qin Shiyu removed the stem of the mushrooms. "One of the reasons is probably because he can no longer sit still after me sprouting in the entertainment industry." 

He explained to Jiang Yu, "Since I was little, everything I do, he wanted to beat me and must have everything I have. If it was unique, he would snatch it. If it wasn't unique, he would make a better one."

Jiang Yu chuckled, "Then why didn't he follow you to take the B University exam? Does he think there is no need to suppress you in terms of IQ?"

At once, Qin Shiyu started laughing as if his laughing spot had been pressed. Jiang Yu was originally baffled, but was infected by his vibrating laughter, "Is it that funny?"

Qin Shiyu nodded. As he laughed, he answered her last question, "Probably think abroad is better. Admission by donation in Pennsylvania."

Many first-class foreign universities were private. Accepting donations from wealthy people was an important income for operations, so it wasn't unusual. However, Jiang Yu was still curious, "How much was donated?"

Qin Shiyu said, "More than 100 million. It is a first-class university after all."

Jiang Yu was stunned when she heard this, "Just going to college is a difference of 100 million. No wonder he thinks he can beat you by being on the show." 

Turned out to have a bad brain.

Qin Shiyu couldn't help laughing again, "This should be linked to Qin Xingye."

Jiang Yu was confused.

Qin Shiyu said, "Didn't I say it last time? He thought Qin Xingye was secretly supporting me, and because of my 'reminder' to Qin Xingye, Qin Xingye was looking into his problems this week. Worried that Qin Xingye will ‘depose the heir', he will naturally be flustered."

Jiang Yu tried to understand Qin Luochuan's thoughts, "Then he decide to overwhelm everyone on the show and suppress you until you are unable to fight back, in order to prove that he is the best candidate to inherit the Qin Family?"

Every taunt Jiang Yu made about Qin Luochuan made Qin Shiyu laugh. She had never spoken casually about others before, so it was obviously for him.

Qin Shiyu felt happy and slowly analyzed Qin Luochuan's psychology with her, "He is worried that my identity as the Qin Family's eldest son will be exposed. Before, only people in the circle knew my identity. People in the circle wouldn’t be nosy without reason. Even if they talk behind their backs, nothing will change as long as they don't bring it up in front of the concerned party. When it comes to profit, they will even step on me. But now that I'm popular in the entertainment industry, he thinks Qin Xingye is supporting me. So what will the fans do if my identity is exposed?”

There will be more fans and more traffic.

As long as it was a positive image, being from a wealthy family was actually a big plus. If everyone knew that Qin Shiyu was the eldest son of the Qin Family, the trending search would probably be on the list for a month, and it may even boost the economic growth of the Qin Family. Nowadays, the effect of celebrities’ fans was no joke.

Jiang Yu was still puzzled, "But if he goes on the show, he can expose his identity first. However, when your identity is known later, his origin as the illegitimate child will not be hidden. After all, the ages are an apparent indicator. Can it be that he thought once he has suppressed you on the show, fans will support him even if he’s an illegitimate child and thinking that he is the best?"

Wasn’t this pure comedy? Today's young people have a good outlook on life. As long as an illegitimate child was knowingly illegitimate, it was definitely original sin. Not to mention that he wasn't innocent at all.

Qin Shiyu said, "He's not that stupid. He’s doing this to prevent my identity from being exposed."

Jiang Yu was confused.

Qin Shiyu explained, "Qin Xingye’s most taboo is his business origin history and everything related to the Shu Family. My mom's matter is even more secretive. After so many years, no one in the circle had mentioned it."

"First Qin Luochuan exposes his identity as the heir of the Qin Family. If I expose it afterward, netizens will dig deeper into Qin Xingye's background before discovering the identity of his illegitimate son. Netizens like rich people, but in the end they like the drama the rich people give them. The feud between rich and powerful families is more interesting than harmony and love.”

"Qin Xingye's annexation of Shu Family's business cannot withstand scrutiny at all. Shu Family's wasn't a small and unknown company at that time. There were various reports. My maternal grandfather was investigated with great vigor,and my mom's death was during that turmoil. There were reports my mom being Qin Xingye’s first wife cannot be concealed. Even if there is no conclusive evidence, netizens can still get a glimpse of it with their excellent reasoning skills."

"At that time, the whole network will probably discuss Qin Xingye's fortune. Qin Xingye will not allow this to happen."

Jiang Yu understood, "It seems that Qin Luochuan knows Qin Xingye quite well. Even though he thinks Qin Xingye wants to support you, he knows that Qin Xingye will not put you above his reputation. In order to avoid being discussed, Qin Xingye will only prevent your identity from being exposed. Then Qin Luochuan will have a greater chance of winning."

Looking at it this way, although it was a bit of a desperate move, this move was quite good. Of course, the premise was that Qin Xingye was really supporting Qin Shiyu and Qin Shiyu still had the intention to return to the Qin Family.

Jiang Yu looked at Qin Shiyu’s indifferent expression. It was obvious that Qin Shiyu didn't pay him much heed at all and was even less willing to admit that he was a member of the Qin Family... She remembered that in the book, Qin Shiyu directly made the Qin Family bankrupt in the end and everyone in the Qin Family was ruined.

Jiang Yu still had new doubts, "But how did he get together with Sun Lingqian?"

Qin Shiyu didn't know about this. He could guess that the reason why Qin Luochuan was on the show was because he had fought with them since young. He understood the character of everyone in the Qin Family. While he had never paid much attention to Sun Lingqian before. He only knew that she was a vain, showy, willful, and egotistical person.

While the two of them were making random guesses as if they were chatting, they didn't expect Zhao Shunong would clear up their doubts.

 Jiang Yu wasn't very hungry, but she had eaten some with Qin Shiyu. When the two of them had finished eating noodles, she received a call from Zhao Shunong.

Qin Shiyu saw it and motioned for her to answer the phone while he went to the kitchen to tidy the dishes.

Jiang Yu didn’t act reserved. After picking up the phone, Zhao Shunong uttered, "You have suffered a lot of unreasonable disasters recently."

It turned out that she accidentally saw the hot search and excitedly called Jiang Yu to share what she had encountered a few days ago, "...my dad took me to a charity party that day and that Sun Lingqian kept approaching me. At first, I ignored her, but then I heard her mention Qin Shiyu, I listened a bit. Only then I realized that you have been seducing Qin Shiyu recently, and Qin Shiyu, the blind man, was fooled by you, the green tea, and stupidly letting you latch on the popularity for nothing.”

Jiang Yu:……

Zhao Shunong was overjoyed, "...it really made me laugh to death. She actually guessed that Qin Shiyu is the son of my driver or my housekeeper! She told me how close she is to her nanny's daughter and how protective she is of the other party. Basically, looking for a common topic with me."

Jiang Yu was amused. Sun Lingqian's brain circuit was really extraordinary.

She sat down on the sofa and couldn't help but ask, "What did you say?"

Zhao Shu’s mirth thickened, "Of course I went along with her. I'm not familiar with her and she's slandering you, what obligation do I have to be honest with her? Whatever she says is whatever."

"Oh, by the way," Zhao Shunong suddenly started gossiping, "She said Qin Shiyu beat up Qin Luochuan. Is it true or false? Do you know about this?"

Jiang Yu halted. Still, Zhao Shunong was obviously shocked by this, "Doesn't he treat Chen Yalian and Qin Luochuan as nothing? Oh, no, he treats everyone as nothing. Why did he beat Qin Luochuan out of the blue? It’s because he’s acting up. Or did Qin Luochuan become promising.”

Jiang Yu:……

For a moment, she didn't know whether she should tell Zhao Shunong about her and Qin Shiyu's current situation. But thinking about her resentment toward Qin Shiyu, Jiang Yu felt too shy to say it.

After thinking for a while, she asked calmly, "Did Sun Lingqian tell you why?"

Zhao Shunong said, "She didn't. She said that she went to Orange Film and Television to discuss a project. When she came out, she saw Qin Shiyu beating Qin Luochuan. Then she tentatively asked me why Qin Luochuan didn't argue with Qin Shiyu and whether it was my help.”

Jiang Yu understood immediately. No wonder Sun Lingqian had stopped making movements after that incident. It turned out that she saw Qin Luochuan not touching Qin Shiyu and couldn't figure out the details herself, so she didn't dare to act rashly.

Zhao Shunong continued to laugh, "I went along with her, saying that my family and the Qin Family are family friends and Qin Luochuan would still give me this face. Hahahaha, let her continue this beautiful misunderstanding!"

Jiang Yu laughed. Qin Shiyu had already finished washing the dishes and sat down. Since she was talking about something related to him, Jiang Yu didn't deliberately avoid him. When Qin Shiyu saw this, he sat next to her again. Jiang Yu lowered her head. Seeing him holding her arm, and looking with his innocent face as if he didn't notice anything, she couldn't help but chuckle, but didn't move.

When Qin Shiyu saw this, the corner of his mouth secretly raised and he tilted his head toward her. He heard Zhao Shunong say excitedly on the phone, "Doesn't that lunatic Qin Shiyu hate these the most? Let him enjoy it!"

Jiang Yu:……

Qin Shiyu:......

He turned to look at her, to be precise, at her mobile phone.

Jiang Yu didn't like to hold the phone close to her ear when she was on the phone as she felt uncomfortable. So she turned the volume up a bit. Zhao Shunong's words were clearly heard by Qin Shiyu.

She couldn't help but want to cover her face. Initially, she thought Zhao Shunong wanted to help Qin Shiyu, but unexpectedly her resentment toward him would reach such an extent.

Jiang Yu coughed quickly, "En, didn't you feel sorry for him before? At that time, you kept following the trending searches for him and invested in 'All Rounder 3' in order to protect..."

Before Jiang Yu could finish speaking, Zhao Shunong sneered, "I was too naive at the beginning. but now that I think about it, I wish I could give myself a slap in the face. Why do I need my help when I'm crazy? It's because I don't overestimate my capabilities, and now I'm being suppressed by my parents." "I'm in charge of the company." She could hear her pain, "It's because he had been fanning the flames of the old couple, saying that I am capable. You know, now I don't even have time to surf the Internet. Today, it's still because Qin Luochuan and him were at the same time. It was on trending searches and someone was discussing it in the WeChat group, so I became aware of the recent excitement on the Internet.”

She gritted her teeth, "If I had the chance to do it again, I would definitely invest in 'All Rounder 3' and demand that he be kicked out!"

Jiang Yu:……

She turned to look at the expressionless Qin Shiyu, trying to save her, "I know you are speaking out of anger. But if something happens, won't you still help him? Why else would you tell me this?"

Zhao Shunong said, "To help you escape from the sea of misery. When I saw Qin Luochuan and Sun Lingqian getting together, I went to inquire about it. Qin Luochuan seems to know that Sun Lingqian has a grudge against you, so he is most likely using Sun Lingqian to deal with you and Qin Shiyu. This is an unforeseen disaster for you." 

She sighed, "I can’t do anything for the time being, but you still have a chance."

"Pass this matter onto Qin Shiyu. With your intelligence, make good use of this information and get more benefits from Qin Shiyu. You can't let him take advantage of you. Look at how you have been scolded." 

Reaching here, she enthusiastically gave Jiang Yu some advice, "Why don't you and Xiang Chen stir some CP? I swiped a few Chen Yu CP’s sugar. So sweet. I think Xiang Chen seems to really care about you. Maybe it can be developed.”

Jiang Yu:……

Qin Shiyu narrowed his eyes dangerously...
