Only You: The Billionaire's Obsession-Chapter 222: An Excellent Pawn

Gu Jiayin was clearly here to cause trouble, and Qin Yishu, with just a little provocation, was ready to explode. She gritted her teeth and took a few steps forward, "Gu Jiayin, are you here to seek death today?"

Gu Jiayin leisurely tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, "No, I haven’t lived enough to seek death. I’m here to watch someone die."

"You!" Qin Yishu stepped forward to tear into Gu Jiayin, but Qin Yiheng coldly stopped her, "Get aside."

Qin Yishu was now very afraid of Qin Yiheng, so his mere glance froze her, making her obediently retreat without daring to say another word.

Qin Yiheng looked at Gu Jiayin with indifference, slowly opening his mouth one word at a time, "Let’s go to the reception room. I have something to say to you."

"Say what?" Gu Jiayin smiled slightly, "Something about incest?"

Qin Yiheng felt embarrassed, looked around, and fortunately, no one heard, "Come on, I really have something to tell you."

Gu Jiayin shot a provocative glance at Qin Yishu, then turned and followed Qin Yiheng.

...

In the small reception room, it was rare to see Qin Yiheng assuming a gentlemanly demeanor in front of Gu Jiayin, not an act, as he even politely poured her a cup of tea.

Gu Jiayin lowered her gaze coldly, saying nothing.

After quietly observing her for a moment, Qin Yiheng finally spoke, "You pushed my mother down the cliff, didn’t you?"

Gu Jiayin coldly sneered, "Mr. Qin, you can’t just speak without evidence. If you slander me, I could sue you."

Qin Yiheng remained calm, nodding slightly, "Even if you didn’t do it, her death is related to you."

Before Gu Jiayin could respond, he continued, "Knowing my mother, she must have told you many things before her death. I think you should have learned the truth about your origins."

Gu Jiayin still said nothing, only a faint smile played at her lips, indicating that Qin Yiheng was fully aware of the events of the past.

Qin Yiheng continued, "Jiayin, you have Sheng Qianchi backing you, killing me would be easy, but I have nothing to do with Qin Zhennan or Gu Shaohua. Can you spare me, please?"

Continuing to hold an elusive smile, Gu Jiayin slowly raised her head, meeting Qin Yiheng’s pleading gaze, "Mr. Qin, don’t joke with me; I don’t have the ability to kill you."

"You do." Qin Yiheng stated firmly, "Since you returned to Licheng City, the Qin Family has encountered one incident after another, Jiayin, you orchestrated all this. You despise the Qin Family. Now, my father, my mother, Mingxuan, and Xueyao have all been affected. Is it my turn next, or Yishu’s?"

Gu Jiayin laughed softly, "Qin Yiheng, are you so guilty from all the bad deeds that you think you’re hearing ghosts knocking? Is that why you’re so paranoid?"

Qin Yiheng continued to stare at her face seriously and solemnly, "Jiayin, I don’t want to die yet. I apologize for past grievances. If you let go of this hatred, I’m willing to share Twilight with you."

Share Twilight?

Ha!

Gu Jiayin sneered, at one time she might have intended to reclaim Twilight, but now she had no interest in it at all because it belonged to the Gu Family and had nothing to do with her.

Her only mission now was to avenge Gu Qiyun and repay her upbringing, find the Blood Tears Jade, and gain eternal freedom.

Thus, everyone in the Qin Family must die, and so must Gu Shaohua.

"You’re overthinking it, Mr. Qin. I have no time to indulge in idle fantasies with you. Goodbye."

Saying this, Gu Jiayin got up to leave.

"Gu Jiayin!" Qin Yiheng suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with sinister colors, "Don’t you really dislike Qin Yishu? Let me deal with her for you, then can we reconcile?"

Gu Jiayin paused for a moment, said nothing, and after two seconds, continued walking forward.

Qin Yiheng grew anxious, the air around him suffused with a dangerous aura, "Gu Jiayin, don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. If you insist on going your own way, don’t blame me for being rude! Even with Sheng Qianchi’s protection, I have a thousand ways to make you die without anyone knowing."

Gu Jiayin halted, turned around, and smiled faintly like summer flowers, "I look forward to it," her eyes brimming with unfathomable killing intent, "The road is long and winding, see you in the rivers and lakes."

...

After Ye Zhilin’s burial, Qin Yiheng feared every day that Gu Jiayin would suddenly seek revenge because she had Sheng Qianchi behind her. Although he wanted to eliminate her, he dared not act rashly.

He was afraid that one wrong move would result in a complete defeat.

As a result, his temper grew increasingly volatile, his demeanor more erratic, all of which he took out on Qin Yishu through torment.

Being the kind of man who once lingered in the darkest underworld dealings, Qin Yiheng was adept at torturing people in perverse ways. Though Qin Yishu was his sister, he had no sentimental ties to her, subjecting her to humiliations beyond ordinary imagination.

Currently, in the Qin Family, only Qin Yiheng and Qin Yishu remained, and she had no one to protect her from his torment.

Eventually, unable to endure the suffering, Qin Yishu started considering self-rescue.

Finally, she went to see Qin Zhennan.

Upon learning of the family situation, Qin Zhennan closed his eyes in sorrow, "Go to Gu Shaohua, she’s the only one who can offer you a way out."

So, Qin Yishu found Gu Shaohua, tearfully begging her for a way out.

Gu Shaohua was also troubled about getting rid of Gu Jiayin. Though it wasn’t hard to eliminate Gu Jiayin with her power, she feared her actions might endanger her emotions with Sheng Qianchi, and that Gu Jiayin, acting impulsively, might reveal the truth.

Thus, she wanted to act in a way that no one would find out.

Coincidentally, Qin Yishu came to her, and suddenly enlightened, Gu Shaohua gladly accepted her.

To her, Qin Yishu was an excellent pawn.

...

Soon, Gu Shaohua put Qin Yishu to use.

The Sheng Group hosted an anniversary celebration banquet, with Sheng Qianchi attending as the chief executive officer, accompanied by Gu Jiayin. As the chairman’s wife, Gu Shaohua attended too, bringing along a beautifully dressed Qin Yishu.

Sheng Qianchi hadn’t seen Qin Yishu for a long time, and upon seeing her again, he only gave her a cursory glance and perfunctorily nodded in response to her enthusiastic greeting.

He was somewhat aware of her circumstances, but he believed their lines were already drawn, so Qin Yiheng’s maltreatment of her was none of his concern, nor did he care.

Seeing Gu Shaohua again, Gu Jiayin’s heart was filled with nothing but aversion and profound hatred. This was the woman who caused her to be separated from her parents from a young age, a mere pawn in a game, her tumultuous life carved out by her hand.

She hated her, with the world’s most straightforward reason.

One day, she would make her and Qin Zhennan pay for their past crimes.

Reuniting with Gu Jiayin, Gu Shaohua was filled with murderous intent, yet having been in the power arena for too long, she knew how to cloak her motives. Even if her heart raised a dagger, her face remained warmly smiling like fire, as she greeted Gu Jiayin with a smile, "Jiayin, I brought Yishu today. I hope you don’t mind?"
