Chapter 465: Chapter 465: It’s my fault, Yin Qin, and it has nothing to do with them (Part One)

In the villa’s main hall, Yin Qin’s voice echoed.

Ji Baixing stood behind Yin Qin, with tears welling in her eyes, surprised by his words.

She had no idea why Yin Qin and Luo Xiaolang were together; she only assumed their relationship was an accident. But she never thought that it was Luo Xiaolang who had forced Yin Qin.

She didn’t know how to feel, but there was an admittedly unexpected sense of joy. It lessened her guilt and the regret she felt towards Luo Xiaolang, allowing her to be with Yin Qin without carrying such a heavy burden of sin.

“Is this true?” Ji Yunlei asked harshly.

Yin Qin nodded, “I will clarify to the media that everything that happened between Luo Xiaolang and me has nothing to do with Baixing. I won’t let her suffer this kind of harm.”

“Good!” Ji Yunlei also rose from his seat on the sofa.

He walked towards Yin Qin.

Yin Qin looked at him.

“So, if Baixing has nothing to do with this and the issues in your marriage with Luo Xiaolang are solely between the two of you, then it seems Baixing is the victim,” Ji Yunlei said seriously.

Yin Qin pressed his lips together.

Yes, Baixing was a victim.

Luo Xiaolang was also a victim.

Only he, only he was the culprit, the one who deserved to be torn to pieces without pity!

“Isn’t it?” Seeing Yin Qin remaining silent, Ji Yunlei’s expression grew colder.

Yin Qin nodded, his head bowed in silence.

“In that case, how do you plan to take responsibility for Baixing?” Ji Yunlei asked.

Yin Qin was startled for a second, a touch of panic flashing in his eyes.

From his seat on the sofa, Ji Baili, who was initially uninterested, noticed clearly.

He sneered silently, not uttering a word.

“You’ve let the entire country know that you and Baixing are together now, that you abandoned Luo Xiaolang for her. Are you planning to leave Baixing without a name or a share of your life?” Ji Yunlei was clearly angry.

Yin Qin didn’t answer.

He hadn’t thought about it, at least at this moment he hadn’t considered getting remarried.

He had just ruined Xiaolang’s wedding, he didn’t want to rush into another so soon, he… didn’t want to hurt Luo Xiaolang again.

The atmosphere in the living room became tense.

Everyone was looking at Yin Qin. Watching him, waiting for his answer.

Jia Baixing waited too.

She originally thought that Yin Qin would propose marriage right away, but now she felt nervous and less confident in his feelings for her. He seemed to be drifting further away from her.

Struggling with her emotions, Ji Baixing gritted her teeth.

“In that case, Yin Qin, leave right now! This is a matter for the Ji family, it has nothing to do with you, an outsider! Don’t come looking for Ji Baixing again!” Ji Yunlei’s angry voice echoed in the living room.

In that moment, Ji Baixing felt disappointed.

She had thought that Yin Qin wanted to marry her immediately, she had believed that he was eager to be with her.

She always felt that Yin Qin loved her so much that he would never see any flaws in her. Even though she had been with Li Wenjun, Yin Qin had still waited for her. Even now, desecrated by another man, he didn’t care about her body, he loved her as a person. But now…

Had everything changed?

She said in a tiny voice from behind Yin Qin, “Yin Qin, are you also disgusted that I was with another man…”

Ji Baixing couldn’t continue.

She didn’t dare to recall the events of that night.

The memory brought unbearable pain, and she still didn’t know if she could escape its shadow!

“I’ll marry her,” Yin Qin said suddenly.

His voice was loud.

Very loud.

Since it had gotten this far, what more could he do to hurt Xiaolang?

Since he had already hurt her so deeply, how much worse could a little more hurt be!

He was scum!

Human scum!

Ji Yunlei glared at Yin Qin, as if trying to confirm the sincerity of his words.

Yin Qin stated directly, “I will marry Baixing. I have wanted to marry her since we were children. My hesitation was only because I didn’t know if, in my current disgraced state, I would be an unworthy match for Baixing. I want to know, can you trust me with her?”

The uneasy feeling in Ji Baixing’s heart lessened.

She knew that Yin Qin loved her and that he would not mind her past.

Just as Ji Yunlei was about to speak, Ji Baili suddenly stood up.

Ji Yunlei shot his son a glare. His expression wasn’t good.

His son should be sitting down, respectfully listening to his elders, not standing up.

Without saying anything, he turned around and headed upstairs.

“Ji Baili, where are you going?!” Zhang Qingmei’s face darkened.

Why were all her children so troublesome?

Ji Baili said, “I can’t stand to watch this anymore. I’m afraid I’ll lose control. I’d better go rest in my room.”

“If you want to rest, then go rest at the company!” Zhang Qingmei snapped.

It wasn’t easy for Ji Baijian to lose interest in the family business. Couldn’t her son seize this opportunity to show some enthusiasm?

If Ji Baijian suddenly changed his mind and took an interest in the family business, wouldn’t all their hard work be in vain?!

Ji Baili didn’t pay any attention to his mother.

He just went straight upstairs.

He felt the need to play a few video games to alleviate his inner melancholy.

A man like Yin Qin deserves to die a thousand times over!

How could he be so cruel to Luo Xiaolang?!

Scumbag!

Yin Qin watched as Ji Baili walked away.

He knew how much Ji Baili looked down on him, loathing his present actions.

He felt the same disgust for himself.

He heard Ji Yunlei say, “If that’s the case, if you want to marry Baixin and forfeit your own wedding for her, I can’t help you. We need to hurry up with the wedding. We can’t let Baixin continue to be slandered without a proper status.”

“Alright.” Yin Qin nodded.

“Qingmei.” Ji Yunlei turned his head.

Zhang Qingmei immediately answered.

“Check which day of this month or next month is auspicious.” Ji Yunlei instructed.

Zhang Qingming hesitated for a moment, “Is this in such a rush?”

“Or do you intend to let your daughter keep following him just like this?”

“No, I just think that Yin Qin just broke off his engagement and suddenly getting married again might not look too good,” Zhang Qingmei suggested.

“Not getting married would be worse. Getting married can finally end this farce!” Ji Yunlei said, his face growing grim again, “Are you questioning my decision?”

“No, not at all. I’ll check the dates right away.” Zhang Qingmei, naturally submissive in front of Ji Yunlei.

As she spoke, Zhang Qingmei quickly excused herself.

She soon came back and announced, “The 27th of this month is an auspicious day.”

“Good, let’s set it for the 27th of this month.” Ji Yunlei agreed immediately.

“That’s only ten days away,” Ji Baixin murmured.

“Ten days is enough. As for the wedding, your mother and I will handle everything. Yin Qin, marriage isn’t only about two people. Either tonight or tomorrow night, invite your parents out for dinner, let’s arrange wedding matters. In the meantime, handle the media. I don’t want any slanders when you guys are getting married.”

Yin Qin nodded, silently.

“That’s settled then, you can get on with your things,” Ji Yunlei instructed before adding, “Yin Qin, let me remind you, Baixin is not like Luo Xiaolang. If you dare to do anything like breaking off the engagement, I will ruin you even if it costs me my life. Take heed!”

With that, Ji Yunlei turned around and walked off.

He didn’t seem to want to spend much energy on Yin Qin and Ji Baixin’s wedding.

The reason he was pushing them to get married was that given Baixin’s current situation, it was unlikely any rich suitor would want her. Moreover, Yin Qin’s recent business successes had surprised him. Who would have thought the tearaway Yin Qin would prove so capable that he managed to take down Weng Cheng himself? With his years of experience in judging people, Ji Yunlei saw great potential in Yin Qin. It was a good deal for their family to have him marry Baixin.

Being a businessman, his considerations were naturally all about gains.

He had almost given up on Ji Baixin, seeing her hurt by that scum Li Wenjun, and keeping silent to give her a lesson. He planned to accept her back once she realized her mistake. But Ji Baixin didn’t seem to have much to offer to the family, let alone any expectations. Now that Yin Qin was willing to pick up the tab, why wouldn’t he be happy about it?

After Ji Yunlei had completely left, Zhang Qingmei finally spoke to Yin Qin and Ji Baixin, “Make sure both of you think it through. Once we set the wedding date, you can’t back out. Go home and give it some serious thought.”

She said no more.

Zhang Qingmei seemed unwilling to say anything further.

She followed and went upstairs.

When everyone had left, only Yin Qin and Ji Baixin remained.

Yin Qin stood in the grand hall.

He hadn’t expected things to escalate this quickly.

Ji Baixin looked at Yin Qin’s figure, and called his name, “Yin Qin.”

Yin Qin regained his composure.

He turned around to face Ji Baixin.

Ji Baixin took Yin Qin’s hand, saying, “I’ve done too many things in the past to apologize for. In the future, I will definitely make it up to you.”

Yin Qin smiled.

He replied, “What about making amends? All of it was willingly done by myself.”

He had willingly done everything.

The wedding… was also his own wish.

Ji Baixin moved towards Yin Qin, hugging him.

Yin Qin held her in his arms.

No matter what they’ve been through, no matter how bad things had become, he was finally marrying the woman he had wanted to marry all his life.

Finally married. He should be happy.

He should… be happy, right?

In the afternoon.

Yin Qin faced the numerous reporters and media, and said, “I seem to have been giving you a lot of news recently, and I don’t know whether to be pleased or what…”

All the reporters were staring at him.

Yin Qin smirked sarcastically.

He then continued, “The purpose today is to clarify to the public why my wedding to Luo Xiaolang didn’t take place.”

The entire place fell silent, waiting anxiously for Yin Qin’s next words.

Yin Qin admitted, “I confess that I ran away from the wedding. It had nothing to do with Ji Baixin, and nothing to do with Luo Xiaolang, but everything to do with me, my immaturity, and the darkness and hypocrisy within me.”

The room began to stir.

Yin Qin didn’t give the reporters a chance to speak and continued, “I have always loved Ji Baixin. I’ve always been obsessed with her, and I believe you all know that. My relationship with Luo Xiaolang was merely an attempt to forget Baixin. I was using Luo Xiaolang’s naïveté to forget. But I’ve realized that my feelings for Baixin are deeply ingrained. When I saw her being hurt by Li Wenjun like that, I couldn’t resist the urge to be with Baixin again. I even felt lucky at Li Wenjun’s wickedness, as it gave me a chance to pursue Baixin.”

A reporter interrupted, “So you’ve always loved Ji Baixin, and had no feelings for Luo Xiaolang during your time with her?”

Yin Qin didn’t directly answer. He said, “Now, finally, I’ve won Ji Baixin over. Due to her vulnerability caused by Li Wenjun’s mistreatment, I touched her. Yes, Ji Baixin and I are finally together. But please do not blame her. She didn’t seduce me; I pursued her. I loved her so much that I took advantage of her vulnerability. She never intended to be with me, nor did she intend to ruin my wedding. It was I who regretted not going through with the wedding. It was I who regretted being with Xiaolang. It’s my fault, not Xiaolang’s, so please don’t blame her any further. She too, is a victim!”

Yes.

It’s him, it’s all him!

It’s nobody else’s fault for making things the way they are.

If there’s blame to cast, cast it on him alone!
