My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 277: Chapter 275: Cancel The Engagement, Ji Baixing, You’d Better Not Have Emotional Discord!

Translator: 549690339

‘I’m intent on breaking off this engagement, and nobody can stop me!’ Yin Qin’s robust voice echoed throughout the villa.

In that moment, it seemed as if no one could dissuade him.

All eyes in the hall were fixed on him.

Yin Bin’s face darkened, ‘Yin Qin, you shut up!’

‘Everything I said is true. I never had feelings for Ji Baixin in the first place. You all insisted on forcing us together. It’s good that everything is out in the open now, so that we can sever our ties. Don’t try to force a match on us again!” Yin Qin continued, leaving no room for compromise.

‘Yin Qin!’ Yin Bin tried to suppress his voice, attempting to stop him from talking recklessly.

Zhang Qingmei sensed from Yin Qin’s tone that this matter was most likely beyond redemption now.

She felt extremely uncomfortable.

Her son just broke off his engagement with Xin Zaozao and they had lost a significant advantage. Now, her daughter was about to break off her engagement to Yin Qin.

What kind of curse had she run into that made her children so problematic, none of them finding a satisfying match?

The more she thought about it, the worse she felt.

She couldn’t help but speak up again, ‘Xiaoqin, you have to be careful with your words. Nothing is absolute. We all watched you and Baixin grow up side by side. It was clear to everyone that you liked her. Don’t make irrational decisions out of impulsivity. To be honest, when your news came out, I wanted to talk to you, but I never planned on breaking the engagement. If you both make concessions, give each other a chance, I believe you can develop feelings for each other. As for Luo Xiaolang, who you mentioned, she is just Song Zhizhi’s bodyguard. I really think she is not a good match for you, you are…

‘Who says she’s not a good match for me!’ Yin Qin’s voice was forceful. He grabbed Luo Xiaolang’s hand in full view of everyone, declaring, ‘Luo Xiaolang is the purest, most wonderful girl in the world. No one but her is worthy of me. I don’t care about anybody else, especially Ji Baixin!’

Zhang Qingmei was left speechless by Yin Qin’s outburst.

She was obviously displeased.

Even though she had always chastised her daughter severely, she could not bear to hear others speak ill of her.

Yin Qin continued, ‘Don’t you all know what kind of person Ji Baixin is? At 18, she brought our engagement, and started cohabiting with someone else, letting me wear a big green hat, making me lose face in front of my friends all these years. Why should I lower myself to such a dirty woman?’

In that moment, Ji Baixin just stared at Yin Qin.

This was the first time she had looked at him so directly.

This was not the first time Yin Qin had called her dirty, nor the first time he had mocked her, but this time, he said those hurtful words in front of both their parents, and it really hurt her!

Yet at that moment, she chose to suppress her emotions and endure it.

She had also decided to dissolve the engagement once and for all. She was tired of sneaking around with Li Wenjun every day, afraid of being caught by the paparazzi. When they were exposed, she was relieved that Yin Qin’s news overshadowed hers, saving her from the one-sided blame for betraying Yin Qin. She wasn’t afraid of the media, internet trolls, or rumors, but she was worried that she would impede Li Wenjun’s progress.

Li Wenjun had built up everything from scratch. He had achieved so much through his own efforts, unlike Yin Qin. She could not bear to see his hard work going down the drain.

Therefore, after thinking it over, she hoped that Yin Qin would say things even more outrageously and irreversibly, so that her parents would have no excuse to force her to marry Yin Qin.

Ji Baixin remained silent.

She heard Yin Qin say again, ‘In my whole life, even if I marry any woman, I won’t degrade myself by marrying Ji Baixin!’

His words echoed through the hall.

The parents on both sides, especially Ji Yunlei and Yin Bin, still stood off against each other, as if the first one to speak would lose the battle.

Noticing that neither of them spoke, Yin Qin tightened his grip on Luo Xiaolang’s hand and said in front of everyone, ‘Compared to Ji Baixin’s promiscuity, Luo Xiaolang is far more pure and virtuous. I admit that Luo Xiaolang is not as beautiful as Ji Baixin and doesn’t have the same wealth as the Ji family. But, I, Yin Qin, don’t care about all those superficial things. What I like is Luo Xiaolang’s innocence and cuteness! Ji Baixin is nothing compared to Luo Xiaolang…’

“Enough!” Ji Yunlei seemed to have finally had enough.

Yin Qin thought.

Finally, his wish was granted.

Just as Ji Baixing wished for!

His heart was turbulent.

He pursed his lips tightly, forcing himself to look at Ji Yunlei.

Ji Yunlei’s voice was very authoritative, his grave seriousness was indeed intimidating.

Everyone listened as he said, “Since you, Yin Qin, despise my daughter so much, we indeed have no need to hold on to this engagement!”

Yin Bin glanced at his son and eventually opted for silence at that moment.

Indeed, they had come to dissolve the engagement, and had long planned to have Yin Qin and Ji Baixing call off the engagement, but at this moment, when their family should be in the right, they were left in a mess by Yin Qin.

There was no sense of propriety in front of his parents, and the words he spoke were not words that a person with good character and manners should say.

“Yin Bin, let’s consider the engagement between our two families to be over!” Ji Yunlei said to Yin Bin, his tone very heavy.

Zhang Qingmei was still somewhat reluctant.

She said loudly, “Husband, don’t make decisions for the children. I’ve always thought the two kids have feelings for each other after knowing each other for so many years, and our two families are such a good match. We should encourage resolution rather than separation, let’s think it over …”

“Shut up!” Ji Yunlei had never spared his wife. His voice was so loud at that moment that Zhang Qingmei was frightened into silence.

Seeing her father’s expression, Ji Baixing’s face turned even more displeased.

She really despised the male chauvinism in high society, as if women should attach themselves to men, as if women were born just to marry, bear children, and teach them, with no self-identity and need for self-identity.

“Yin Qin has talked about your daughter to this extent, yet you still dream of them being together! Do you want them to marry so that Baixin can live a miserable life? I admit my daughter has made mistakes, but she is not so appalling as to be spoken of so horribly!” Ji Yunlei looked utterly upset, perhaps because of what Yin Qin had said, he could no longer hold it back, “My Ji family is reputable in Yanshang Country, and my daughter, Ji Yunlei’s daughter, is not so lowly as to have to marry Yin Qin! I don’t believe that without Yin Qin, Ji Baixin wouldn’t be able to live her own life!”

The more he spoke, the louder he got, the angrier he became.

Yin Qin didn’t say anything more.

The man who had been so imposing just a moment ago suddenly quieted down.

Because he knew, he helped Ji Baixin to call off the marriage.

He helped Ji Baixin, having Ji Yunlei personally call off their engagement, so the blame wouldn’t fall on Ji Baixin in the future.

It was only due to his, Yin Qin’s, insolence, disregarding advice, and questioning the engagement that it was called off, which had nothing to do with Ji Baixin.

The whole hall, after Ji Yunlei finished his words, fell quiet again.

Zhang Qingmei really didn’t want this marriage to simply fall through, but because of Ji Yunlei’s dominance at that moment, she dared not speak again.

The space was somewhat tense.

Yin Bin responded, “Marriage is a matter for the two children. Now that Yin Qin has said so, we can only follow his wish, and dissolve the engagement with Ji Baixin. Meanwhile, I also want to apologize to you, our son had no restraint in his words, and spoke rudely. Mr. Ji, Madame, and Baixin, please don’t take it to heart. He spoke ill of Baixin because he likes Luo Xiaolang. Do not take his words to heart, we all know he did it on purpose! I promise we will educate him well when we go back.”

“Indeed.” Ji Yunlei said, “For someone like Yin Qin, who is not young but acts like a child, making a fuss, not knowing boundaries, Yin Bin, you really need to put more effort into discipline. Otherwise, he will handle everything with this attitude in the future, and the large family business of Yin He won’t be able to raise just such an heir!”

“You’re right, I’ll discipline him well when we get back.” Yin Bin nodded, then said, “I just hope that this incident will not affect the relationship between our two families. Our parents have always had a close relationship, we wouldn’t want to ruin the foundations laid by their close relationship.”

“There’s no need to worry too much. The children’s issues wouldn’t affect us, let alone, Yin Qin may be distant with Baixin, but he has been growing up with my eldest son Baijian since they were kids. They are like brothers, and their bond will always be strong. You are over-thinking it.”

“Yes, yes, I over-thought it.” Yin Bin appeared very friendly.

At that moment, in front of Ji Yunlei, he seemed a bit submissive.

Yin Qin watched his father’s behavior.

His father, who always held himself high, seemed to be deliberately trying to please Ji Yunlei.

It is true that the Ji family is the head of the consortium, but the Yin family’s strength is also astonishing. Plus, since the Yin family is in media, the Ji family needs to give the Yin family face. Who wouldn’t have negative news that they didn’t want to be reported to the public?!

In the end, Yin Qin didn’t say anything.

After a few more words with Ji Yunlei, Yin Bin said he was leaving, “So it’s settled then. I’ll take my disappointing son away.”

“Hmm.” Ji Yunlei nodded, “Goodbye.”

Yin Bin left.

Qin Qin also followed him out.

Yin Qin gripped Luo Xiaolang’s hand lightly, hesitating for a second.

Luo Xiaolang noticed.

The next second, Yin Qin dragged Luo Xiaolang away without turning back to look at Ji Baixin.

In the Ji family’s living room.

Everyone watched as the Yin family members left.

Ji Yunlei heavily sat back on the sofa, his face was rather grim.

Not only did Zhang Qingmei feel that the relationship between the two Ji siblings was in turmoil, but he was also rather unsettled.

The failed marriage arrangement with Xin Zaozao had already dealt a heavy blow to the Ji family. And now, the marriage arrangement with the Yin family was also canceled. The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt.

Zhang Qingmei, who had been accompanying Ji Yunlei for many years and was best at reading his thoughts, appeasingly said, “Husband, there’s no need to rush the marriage arrangement with the Yin family. Why don’t I talk to the Yin family again? Or else, we could have Baijian persuade Yin Qin…”

“Enough!” Ji Yunlei’s voice was harsh, “I’m no longer holding out hope for Yin Qin. With his spoilt, uneducated behavior, the Yin family’s assets will eventually be ruined by him! Marrying him would be a downgrade for Baixin! Fortunately, the wedding was called off early; otherwise, it would’ve wasted Baixin’s entire life! Even I, Ji Yunlei, wouldn’t sell my own children for profit!”

Zhang Qingmei was taken aback.

She couldn’t believe that Ji Yunlei would now side with Ji Baixin.

She thought the wedding cancellation would once again make Ji Baixin fall out of her father’s favor!

It wasn’t that she was doing this for herself – as a mother, who wouldn’t want their daughter to do better? She was truly afraid that Ji Yunlei, in his anger, would kick Ji Baixin out once again. That’s why she was so desperate to hold on to this marriage.

“Let’s put this matter to rest. Nobody should mention it again!” Ji Yunlei said, looking at Ji Baixin, “Do you have any objections?”

For the first time, he allowed her to have a say.

Ji Baixin was genuinely surprised. She hadn’t expected that this time, he would have some regrets about breaking off her wedding.

She said, “No.”

“Good,” Ji Yunlei bluntly said, “About that news regarding you, tell me honestly, are you back together with Li Wenjun?”

Ji Baixin bit her lip, not answering.

She couldn’t bring herself to say it out loud.

“If you’re with Li Wenjun, I wouldn’t force you. You handle it yourself.” Ji Yunlei spoke. His tone was still stern, but he genuinely approved of her relationship with Li Wenjun.

Hiding her excitement, Ji Baixin couldn’t help smirking. For the first time, she felt her father wasn’t so bad. For the first time, she felt affection for her father. She said, “Thank you, Dad.”

At that moment, Ji Yunlei seemed slightly stunned. In the end, he nodded and maintained his stern expression.

Then he got up, leaving the living room.

After he left.

Only Zhang Qingmei, Ji Baixin, and Ji Baili were left in the living room.

Only after her husband had vanished into the upper floor did Zhang Qingmei begin to speak, “What’s going on today? Your father is not angry?”

She was asking Ji Baixin.

Ji Baixin shook her head, “I don’t know either.”

“I thought when your father saw the news about you and Li Wenjun today, he was going to kill you! Now he agrees with your relationship?!” Zhang Qingmei was still in a state of disbelief.

Ji Baili had been playing with his phone throughout.

Because of his falling out with Xin Zaozao, he had been downcast for a while, even missing school to stay at home for half a month.

Now, he put down his phone and said, “You should thank Brother Yin Qin.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?! We should thank Yin Qin? He looks down on your sister, and I should thank him?! He doesn’t know what quality is, and yet he questions your sister’s character. It was just to avoid your father’s anger that I was trying to appease Yin Qin. Now thinking about it, Yin Qin really doesn’t deserve our Baixin. He’s not ambitious, lacks self-awareness, and does whatever he wants. If your sister had really married Yin Qin, it would be squandering her away!”

“That’s exactly it,” Ji Baili said. “That’s the point. Brother Yin Qin makes everyone believe he’s worthless, a rotten piece of mud, a pure jerk, ill-mannered and unreasonable! This way, everyone thinks it’s a downgrade for our sister to marry him, making Dad feel guilty about the wedding he arranged. He thinks he was wrong to force my sister to be bound with Brother Yin Qin, so he wants to compensate my sister. That’s why he so readily approved of my sister dating Li Wenjun.”

Ji Baili spoke with a slight smile.

For her sister, Yin Qin really had given up everything!

Genuinely, he felt sorry for Yin Qin. Sorry for his sincere love towards his sister.

He said, “Sis, I hope you won’t regret this! Really, be good to your Brother Wenjun and love each other. Don’t mess up your relationship, don’t let it end, and don’t break up! Otherwise…I might end up looking down on you!”

After talking.

Ji Baili picked up his phone, stretched lazily, and left for upstairs.

He had been moping around at home for quite a while, and it was slightly depressing. Every time he thought of Xin Zaozao’s face, pain would surge in his heart.

But life had to go on.

No one knew what would happen in the future.

No one knew what Xin Zaozao would be like in the future.

But at least.

When the day comes for them to perhaps meet again by chance, he wouldn’t be unworthy of her!
