That slap was swift and decisive.
The man had a pair of severed hands, and with a cold, hard strike, bright red finger marks immediately appeared on his handsome face.
Then came a burning, stinging sensation.
Qin Ran didn't continue to argue. The living room was so quiet it was unsettling. They both respected and feared this older brother.
He has been their role model since childhood.
His academic performance was excellent, and after inheriting his father's business, he was also adept in politics. He never made any mistakes in his work, and the number of people who had truly angered him over the years could be counted on one hand.
They hadn't seen their brother angry for several years.
A thunderous rage weighed heavily on their hearts, only to realize that they might not be able to bear it.
Qin Zhao looked at them coldly. He had never thought they would be so clueless before. After all, his younger brothers were not stupid. Tonight had truly opened his eyes.
"Try turning your back on us again."
This statement was cold and ruthless, and delivered without any emotional fluctuation.
It is both a warning and a threat.
Qin Zhao is a man who will not show mercy just because someone is his brother.
Before Qin Zhao knew that Qin Qin was not his biological sister, he wasn't much more gentle or tolerant.
If you anger him, all you'll get is a cruel and brutal punishment.
The Qin family knew this all too well.
Even Qin Ran wouldn't dare to contradict him.
When he was manipulating power, they were still in college and no match for him.

Jiang Yue's sleep was very short. When she woke up, she found herself covered with Qin Zhao's coat. The living room was quiet and the mahjong table was empty.
Jiang Yue glanced at the clock. Only about twenty minutes had passed. Had they finished playing cards so quickly?
A clear voice suddenly rang in my ears.
"woke up?"
Jiang Yue looked at Qin Zhao beside her. Her head was a little heavy from not sleeping enough, so she nodded and said, "Mm."
I couldn't help but ask again, "Have they finished playing cards?"
Qin Zhao nodded. "The game is over."
The people hadn't left yet. In the front hall, Jiang Yue's gaze followed their expressions and noticed that her cousins all had somewhat complicated and unspeakable expressions.
Qin Zhao patted the back of her hand lightly, his tone indifferent: "Don't worry about them."
Jiang Yue said "Oh," and then took out her phone. "My phone bill is overdue. What's the Wi-Fi password? I need to pay my bill."
Qin Zhao saved her number, paid 50,000 yuan in phone bills for her, and then gave her the password to his home address.
Jiang Yue then opened the CEO romance novel she hadn't finished reading. Just in case, she simply downloaded the entire book, which cost her several hundred yuan.
Just as she was about to go upstairs to rest, Qin Zhao suddenly called out to her, "Wait a minute."
Jiang Yue turned around: 'What's wrong?'
Qin Zhao stood up, his eyes dark, and stared at her: "If there's anyone or anything in this house that makes you unhappy, you can tell me."
If he hadn't accidentally stumbled upon it tonight...
He was truly unaware of these undercurrents running beneath the surface.
She was wronged for no reason.
Jiang Yue generally felt comfortable living in the Qin family's house. No one gave her a hard time, and although she was uncomfortable with being ignored, she didn't care.
However, since Qin Zhao had brought it up, Jiang Yue didn't hold back.
She said directly, "I don't like dealing with people I don't know well."
Qin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, saying it was better to say it than to keep it to himself: "Okay."
Jiang Yue thought about it carefully for a while, and then said, "No, for the time being."
Qin Zhao apologized to her, admitting that he hadn't been thorough enough and had overlooked some details.
The next day.
Before Qin Zhao left, he instructed his steward to report everything, no matter how small.
This matter wasn't so easily resolved. Qin Ran was reassigned by his father to the new company in Haicheng to develop the market. If he didn't achieve results, he wasn't allowed to come back for even a day.
None of the others escaped unscathed.
There are a lot of troublesome things now, especially tricky ones, which are very troublesome to deal with.
Their father's illegitimate son, whom he had raised outside the home, was brought back without prior notice and quietly entered the management team.
It's definitely going to give them a headache and a lot of heartache for a while.
It came on strong and was difficult to handle.
They had finally witnessed how terrifying their elder brother was; when he got angry, he was indeed ruthless and showed no mercy to even his own family.
Having suffered a loss and truly tasted the bitter fruit of having an illegitimate child, he felt somewhat remorseful for his disrespect that night and for his excessive brotherly and sisterly affection.
Jiang Yue was completely unaware of everything that had happened to the Qin family.
She slept in late that day, and when Zhou Ji came to pick her up, she had just gotten up.
The man waited patiently in the living room downstairs, casually crossing his long legs. His long black coat accentuated his fair skin, and he exuded a cold and aloof demeanor.
Slender, beautiful fingers calmly and slowly flipped through this morning's financial newspaper.
Refined but not a scoundrel.
Gentle yet possessing an innate air of dignity.
Nothing could be more lofty and unattainable than the cold moon hanging high above the branches.
The weather in spring is excellent, with bright sunshine during the day and temperatures much higher than at night.
Jiang Yue pulled out a custom-made cheongsam from the wardrobe. The moon-white cheongsam was made of precious material, soft against the skin, and made her look like a graceful and elegant beauty from the Jiangnan water towns.
Her long, flowing black hair was gently tied up with a simple and elegant hairpin.
She had a fair and delicate face with exquisite features, making her look exceptionally charming.
She slowly walked downstairs in her low heels.
The man sitting on the sofa looked at her in response to the sound. His dark eyes seemed to darken, and he swallowed hard.
He appeared to be very calm.
Have you had breakfast yet?
Jiang Yue shook her head truthfully: "I'm not hungry."
Zhou Ji nodded and said, "Then when we get to the temple, we'll have a bowl of vegetarian noodles."
Jiang Yue had no objection. When she walked up to him, the delicate fragrance emanating from her body naturally filled the man's nose.
Zhou Ji's eyes darkened further. She walked quickly past him, her soft hair brushing against his fingertips.
The man curled his fingers, as if to retain the warmth that was constantly slipping from his fingertips.
...
We arrived at Jining Temple.
We went through a different door.
There are no tourists, and you won't be disturbed.
The master personally came out to meet them and led them up the mountain.
Although the path here is quiet, it's not deserted.
After passing through a mountain gate, the fog thickened, and Jiang Yue stood in the vast fog, looking like a blurry yet exceptionally beautiful snow butterfly.
A tall, handsome man stood quietly beside her.
They look perfectly matched from behind.
A pilgrim who happened to be passing by couldn't help but stop and secretly take a picture of the scene with his phone.
After casually posting it on Weibo, the more I looked at the profile picture, the more familiar it seemed.
By the time she remembered, her blog post had already gone viral.
"My wife?"
"???"
"My wife's ex-husband???"
"Why do we need to ask Buddha's permission to get a divorce?"
"On a side note, they're such a perfect couple, a handsome man and a beautiful woman."
