My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 457: Chapter 457: The Wedding, Finally Becoming Anticipated (Second Update)

Yin Qin drove Xiaolang back to his former residence, which was located below Ji Baijian’s building.

Yin Qin was still thinking about celebrating the end of Ji Baijian’s single life with drinks that night.

As he pondered this, the phone suddenly rang.

Yin Qin saw the caller ID and calmly answered, “Hello?”

“Yin Qin, are you not at the company? Where are you?” came Weng Cheng’s voice from the other end.

Yin Qin’s voice carried a hint of impatience, “Why do I need to report my whereabouts to you?”

“I came to see you.”

“I don’t have the time.”

“Yin Qin!”

“The reason I answered your call was to tell you to stop looking for me. I will not go to court for you, absolutely not!” Yin Qin declared sternly, making every word crystal clear.

He then prepared to hang up the phone.

Weng Cheng threatened, “Yin Qin, you’ll be at the ‘Hall of Heaven’ broadcasting station tonight, right? I’ll be waiting for you there. If you don’t see me, don’t blame me for doing something drastic!”

The call was hung up abruptly from the other end.

Yin Qin’s expression darkened slightly.

He really did feel threatened at this moment.

No matter what, Weng Cheng had been in charge of the Milky Way for such a long time, and if he made a fuss in the studio, it would be hard to control the situation if he was not present.

With gritted teeth, he told Xiaolang, “After I drop you off, I’ll have to leave. If you need anything, call your mother.”

“Okay,” Xiaolang nodded.

She had never anticipated Yin Qin to stay by her side.

Furthermore, she had heard that the bride and the groom weren’t supposed to stay together on the night before their wedding.

Yin Qin drove a little faster.

He parked the car in the garage, unloaded all of Xiaolang’s luggage into her house, and then left without further ado.

Xiaolang watched Yin Qin’s hurried footsteps.

The nanny couldn’t hold back her comment, “The young master doesn’t seem invested in the wedding.”

Xiaolang turned away.

It was only after the nanny spoke that she realized she had spoken out of turn. It was because of the young master’s attitude during recent days that she had felt compelled to voice her thoughts.

The nanny hastily added, “It’s probably because the young master is too busy. I heard that he’s been doing really well at work recently, I even saw it on the news…”

Xiaolang didn’t really care.

She could tell whether Yin Qin was invested or not.

She was not naive, she just chose not to mind.

Yin Qin quickly arrived at the broadcast station.

Wu Meili was on the scene, and although she really wanted Yin Qin to come, as this episode was crucial. The number of viewers would directly report how many audiences they lost from the previous episode, and whether their series of repair measures worked!

However, at this moment, Wu Meili couldn’t help but say, “Chairman, you’re getting married tomorrow, yet you’re here tonight. Aren’t you going to spend more time with your bride? Are you not preparing for the wedding night? Your approach to marriage is so careless!”

Yin Qin glanced at Wu Meili, “Am I the one getting married or are you?”

“Whatever the boss says is right,” Wu Meili followed up with a insincere compliment.

Yin Qin walked towards the backstage, asking, “Have you seen Weng Cheng?”

“I haven’t seen him… wait, yes I have.” Wu Meili pointed ahead.

Weng Cheng also saw Yin Qin at this moment.

With a cold sneer, he approached Yin Qin, “Didn’t you say you didn’t want to see me? Why did you still come?”

“Who said I came to see you? I’m just here to witness my achievements. Cousin, do you think tonight’s ratings will reach 2?”

“In your dreams!”

“Let’s wait and see whether I’m dreaming.” With that, Yin Qin turned to leave.

Weng Cheng quickly grabbed Yin Qin’s arm.

Yin Qin’s face darkened.

“I haven’t finished speaking,” Weng Cheng said.

“What does that have to do with me?”

“Yin Qin, name your terms!” Weng Cheng cut straight to the chase.

Yin Qin responded with a sarcastic smile.

Did Weng Cheng think he would be so easy to deal with?

“What benefits can you offer me?” Yin Qin decided to waste a minute or two on him, perhaps it would save him trouble later.

“What benefits do you want?”

“Give me all the shares you have, including the 5% that your mother unscrupulously took from my father!”

“Dream on!” Weng Cheng’s face reddened with anger.

He was livid, as if Yin Qin had said something outrageous.

“The conditions I discuss with you are always in exchange for shares, so what’s the matter, are you scared?”

“Don’t be smug!” Weng Cheng snapped.

“Then there’s nothing more to talk about.”

With that, Yin Qin tried to leave again.

“Yin Qin!” Weng Cheng called out, “I’ll give you all the shares I have.”

Yin Qin’s smile was radiant.

He knew that in Weng Cheng’s mind, the shares of Milky Way were as important as his life. To think that he had pushed Weng Cheng this far, it felt so utterly satisfying.

But.

He turned his head, “That won’t work, I said it includes your mother’s…”

“Don’t push your luck.”

“That is exactly what I’m doing.” Yin Qin grinned, “You weigh it yourself.”

Weng Cheng was so angry that his body was shaking.

He was really pushed to the limit by Yin Qin.

He had already offered all he had in exchange with Yin Qin, who continued to pressure him relentlessly.

If he lost every share he possessed, even if he didn’t end up in prison, how could he possibly return to the Milky Way and pick himself up?

Asking him to surrender all his shares was out of the question!

But at this moment, it was clear that Yin Qin was not going to help him.

He glared harshly at Yin Qin.

With regard to Weng Cheng’s rage, Yin Qin just watched indifferently and remarked, “As you can see, as the only person in charge of the Milky Way, I am very busy. When you figure it out, come to me again!”

“Yin Qin, you’ll regret this!” Weng Cheng declared word by word.

“Cousin, in this world, the winner takes all. Don’t be a sore loser.” Yin Qin tossed out those words and left.

He strutted off arrogantly.

Weng Cheng really wanted to kill Yin Qin.

He picked up the phone, swallowed his anger, and said, “Mom.”

“What happened?”

“Yin Qin wants me to exchange all my shares for his help!”

“Over my dead body.”

Weng Cheng tightly gripped his phone.

“Yin Qin will obviously not help you. It’s better to serve a couple of years in prison than waste shares.”

“But!”

“No buts! Where there’s life, there’s hope. We still have shares, when you’re inside, I’ll remain in the Milky Way. When you’re out, I’ll transfer everything back to you. We’ve learned our lesson this time, and we won’t be careless next time. I don’t believe we can’t get rid of a Yin Qin!” Yin Ying asserted.

Weng Cheng was still somewhat unwilling.

Going to jail didn’t sound easy.

But he had no other choice.

His mother was right, if they granted Yin Qin’s wish now, they would never recover.

Through gritted teeth, he truly wished that he could go down together with Yin Qin.

His face darkened to an extreme degree.

Suddenly, someone walked past him.

Weng Cheng’s eyes narrowed.

Ji Baixin and his assistant were heading to the backstage to check the costumes for the show. Ji Baixin didn’t notice Weng Cheng as he was talking to his assistant.

A smile tugged at the corners of Weng Cheng’s mouth.

Yin Qin.

I warned you not to regret it!

Even if I die, I’ll make sure your life is worse than death!

…

Eight o’clock in the evening.

The fourth round of selection for the “Hall of Heaven” show.

Yin Qin sits in the backstage lounge, watching the large screen in front of him.

Everything is ready.

The live broadcast resumes.

All is well ordered and tense.

Yin Qin just watches, fixated on the screen but not asking about the stats.

Wu Meili is beside him, constantly refreshing the statistics, her heart pounding.

Quietly, she wishes, hurry up, hurry up!

In the quiet room…

The door suddenly opens.

Ji Baixing walks in.

Wu Meili glances over.

For unknown reasons, Wu Meili just can’t take a liking to Ji Baixing.

Every time she appears in front of Chairman, she has this mentality, whatever she says is right.

Of course, as a low-profile person, she wouldn’t dare to complain about this.

Ji Baixing sits next to Yin Qin without a care.

Yin Qin turns his head to glare at Ji Baixing.

Ji Baixing smiles gently at Yin Qin, saying, “The live effect seems not bad.”

“Hmm.” Yin Qin nods.

The hour-and-a-half live broadcast…

…ends.

Wu Meili excitedly exclaims, “Mr. Chairman, the viewer count has hit a new high again! And below the program, all comments are positive.”

Yin Qin nods.

He is actually very excited, very thrilled.

But…

Hmm…

He just pretends not to care.

Ji Baixing, typically a cool person, does not hide her excitement. “It’s really great! I was truly worried that the last event would affect the viewer count for this one. It seems that as long as the quality is reliable, even unexpected events won’t have much effect.”

Yin Qin soberly hides his joy. He doesn’t say anything.

“Yin Qin,” Ji Baixing turns her head to look at him, “you really surprised me. I always thought…”

Thought he was a reckless prodigal, right?

Yin Qin smiles. “It’s okay. I used to think I was worthless too.”

Ji Baixing’s heart quivers.

The room suddenly feels awkward.

As Yin Qin is about to say something, Ji Baixing suddenly says, “Yin Qin, you’re getting married tomorrow.”

“Hmm.”

“Will you go with Xiaolang tonight?”

“Tonight’s my bachelor night. Of course not,” Yin Qin replies.

“Tonight… can I celebrate your bachelorhood with you?” Ji Baixing asks.

She genuinely wants to celebrate for him.

“No need. You don’t like drinking. Don’t bother to keep me company,” Yin Qin refuses.

“Not liking to drink doesn’t mean that I can’t drink.” Ji Baixing says.

It’s rare for her to be so proactive with Yin Qin.

Wu Meili rolls her eyes dramatically.

Yin Qin goes silent for a few seconds, then says, “Let it be. It’s not really a celebration. I have to get up early tomorrow. Tonight I’ll go home, conserve my energy and make a stunning entrance tomorrow.”

Ji Baixing feels slightly disappointed.

She falls silent for a while.

Yin Qin can sense her mood. He says, “Baixing, thank you. But…”

But… let’s leave it at that.

Ji Baixing nods.

She dismissively says, “I just wanted to sincerely thank you for your support in recent times. I’m touched. Don’t misunderstand. I’ve decided, after sorting out the affairs of the studio, to work under S&King, to learn more and draw inspiration from the world’s top designs.”

“That’s good,” Yin Qin says.

Ji Baixing nods. “Yes, it is.”

They look at each other silently.

Ji Baixing extends her hand, “I wish you happiness.”

Yin Qin looks at the palm of Ji Baixing’s hand.

He takes her hand, “I wish you happiness.”

They part ways.

“I’m leaving then,” Ji Baixing smiles.

“Okay.”

Ji Baixing leaves.

The moment she leaves, her eyes well up.

From now on…

From now on, Yin Qin will be someone else’s husband.

She really… lost him.

Yin Qin watches Ji Baixing’s retreating figure, watching her become more distant…

He can feel something. He can feel Ji Baixing’s different emotions towards him…

Unfortunately…

He missed the opportunity.

Really, he missed it.

Yin Qin doesn’t invite the project team to celebrate because he’s getting married tomorrow. He doesn’t want to get wasted and ruin tomorrow’s ceremony. This is a major event in his life. He doesn’t want to make a fool of himself. After all, he does care about appearances.

He drives home.

Mysteriously, he ends up at the entrance to Luo Xiaolang’s apartment complex.

He wondered if she had slept yet.

He wondered if she felt nervous.

Today’s rehearsal was not going smoothly. He wondered if she would make a scene tomorrow.

He smiles.

At that moment, he felt like he could accept all of Luo Xiaolang’s quirks.

He picks up his phone, prepared to call Luo Xiaolang.

Just then, his phone rings.

Looking at the caller ID, he immediately hangs up.

As for Weng Cheng’s call, he would not even answer.

The next moment, he turns off his phone.

It completely ruined his mood for the wedding.

At this moment, he decides not to call Xiaolang anymore.

He figures it’s late, and he doesn’t want to disturb Xiaolang.

Tomorrow… he will see her early in the morning.

Could it be said…

That at this moment, he’s finally started looking forward to it?!
