Chapter 470: Chapter 470: Ji Baijian steps in and severely scolds Ji Baixing! (Third update)
Yin Qin walked into Ji Baijian’s house.
Ji Baijian was waiting for him in the living room.
Tank ran excitedly towards Yin Qin, but after recognising him, walked away with his tail wagging.
Yin Qin glared at Tank, “Ungrateful creature, if it wasn’t for me, you’d be a meal in someones house by now!”
Tank still ignored him.
Yin Qin moved towards Ji Baijian.
Tank lay obediently at Ji Baijian’s side.
Yin Qin joked, “Song Zhizhi still hasn’t borne you a son, huh!”
Ji Baijian scoffed at Yin Qin, “Certainly better than some people, whose own son might one day call someone else his dad.”
Yin Qin almost choked on his own spit.
This deceitful and cunning man, Ji Baijian, always knew how to rub salt into others’ wounds!
He managed to say, “Weren’t we discussing Weng Cheng’s matter?”
“I found all five men who violated Baixin.”
“Where?” Yin Qin’s face changed immediately, his anger couldn’t be concealed.
“I suspect this is Weng Cheng’s conspiracy. I exposed these guys effortlessly, isn’t it too easy! Have you ever thought about how they managed to avoid our sight when they kidnapped Baixin, and then died without us having a shred of evidence? It’s not like Weng Cheng, such a cunning person, to allow these men to stroll around Jin City waiting for us.”
“So, you mean Weng Cheng is intentionally letting us find these guys, waiting for us to take revenge and catch me in the act to accuse me!”
“It’s not impossible.”
“He must have known that I wouldn’t dare deal with Baixin’s incident through legal means.” Yin Qin angrily said.
Ji Baijian nodded.
“So what do we do now? Let them get off scot-free? I can’t swallow this pill!”
“The only way is to handle this incident through official channels.”
“What about Baixin? Do you let such a dignified woman publicly admit that she was ravaged by several men?” Yin Qin said heatedly.
“Or do you have a better idea?! In fact, under the current situation, making Baixin’s suffering known to everyone is beneficial for us all.” Ji Baijian argued, “Firstly, Weng Cheng will face severe legal punishment, which is what he deserves. We must uphold our rights through legal means; secondly, considering your current bad reputation, if you stand by Baixin due to your responsibility for her ordeals, the public will think you’re great. Therefore, no one will boycott you or your Milky Way anymore.”
“I know.” Yin Qin looked at Ji Baijian, “But do you think Baixin can accept it?”
“That’s why I’m discussing it with you now.”
“Baixin won’t agree with this, there’s no room for discussion.” This much, Yin Qin knew for sure.
From childhood to now, Ji Baixin had always been a demanding person, otherwise, she wouldn’t reject this family or the gender bias she didn’t like. If all her tribulations became public knowledge, she wouldn’t accept it. She wouldn’t allow anyone to see her in such a pitiable state.
“Leave that for me to worry about.” Ji Baijian straightforwardly retorted
“Big brother?” Ji Baixin questioned, surprised.
Her big brother usually didn’t take the initiative to look for her, not just her, but anyone in the family unless he needed something.
She always thought her big brother had a high and mighty attitude, even more so than their father.
Ji Baijian didn’t respond and ended the call, then left the house.
He went straight to Ji Baixin’s apartment.
Ji Baixin opened the door.
As Ji Baijian walked in, he casually asked, “Are you living with Yin Qin now?”
Seeing Yin Qin’s clothes on the sofa is what tipped him off.
Ji Baixin blushed slightly.
Ji Baijian didn’t say much, for he was already accustomed to all of Yin Qin’s antics.
He went straight to sit down on the sofa.
Ji Baixin poured a glass of water for Ji Baijian and sat down next to him.
“Yin Qin told me about what happened to you,” Ji Baijian began bluntly.
Ji Baixin gripped her hands tightly but didn’t speak.
“Initially, Yin Qin and I thought about secretly dealing with those who violated you. However, it’s not that simple. It was Weng Cheng who stirred all this up. If we deal with them secretly, we could fall into his trap, which could lead us into legal trouble, making it more harm than good.” Ji Baijian explained concisely. “So now, we need to confront this legally, in other words, report what happened to you...”
“Big brother!” Ji Baixin exclaimed, clearly agitated.
“Listen to me first,” Ji Baijian cut in sternly.
Ji Baixin bit her lip. Faced with Ji Baijian’s assertiveness, she couldn’t fight back.
She simply glared at her big brother.
“There are two benefits to taking legal action. First, it allows for those who hurt you to be punished by the law. Second, it can help redeem Yin Qin’s current reputation as a scumbag. If many people see Yin Qin being with you because of the harm you’ve endured, they will view it as heroic sacrifice. Most people like to empathize with the underdog. He might even become seen as a victim, especially if we use the media to our advantage. That could drastically help fix his current image,” Ji Baijian finished.
Having said that, he looked at Ji Baixin.
Ji Baixin’s eyes were ringed red at this point, “So what do I do? Do I just let everyone know that I, Ji Baixin, am tainted, deeply tainted! Big brother, you’ve always been cold and rational, impersonal. You never take others’ feelings into account. You’ve never truly considered me! Being mistreated by Li Wenjun is already humiliating enough, and now you’re suggesting I let everyone know that I’ve been violated! How am I supposed to show my face!”
“That’s just your opinion. Being violated is not your fault. You should face the situation positively, not just avoid it.”
“I’d rather endure it in silence, rather let these people get away with it than restore those things with my reputation!” Ji Baixin argued, her words punctuated for emphasis.
Ji Baijian looked at Ji Baixin.
The atmosphere between the siblings was tense.
Ji Baijian’s expression darkened, “So everything Yin Qin did for you doesn’t compare to your reputation?”
Ji Baixin was stunned.
“Yin Qin bore the brunt of criticism for you, cut ties with everyone, even forsaking his own son. For the sake of your reputation, you’re unwilling to help redeem his image and recover his losses. Is that your definition of love? If we compare this to Yin Qin’s love for you, don’t you feel you’re being selfish? From an outsider’s perspective, I genuinely feel that you don’t deserve Yin Qin’s years of undeniable love for you,” Ji Baijian concluded.
