Qin Yin looked up at him in fear, "What does it mean that you think I want you to drink? I don't want you to drink, I didn't want you to drink at all, even more, I don't want to drink it myself, but I have no other options. I have no way out."
Nan Sichen flicked the ash off his cigarette, then took a harsh puff. The fiery sensation in his throat was painful. Hearing Qin Yin declare her helplessness, it was as if he had been stabbed in the heart.
Through the smoke, he saw her slightly blurred figure. In a cold voice, he asked, "You had no choice? Because the Qin Family's survival relies on the Nan Family, that's why you slept with me?"
"No, it's not like that, I had no intention of being with you." Qin Yin answered angrily.
"Hmm." Nan Sichen scoffed, "I understand now. You don't want to be with me. It's just for the sake of the Qin family – you had no choice, right?"
"No, no." Qin Yin didn't know how she could explain her situation. Should she expose Qin Han and Li Yueyi's scheme? Would that implicate the Qin family and her father?
She could do nothing but lower her head, biting her lower lip to keep the gathering tears in check.
Seeing her in such a pitiful state, Nan Sichen didn't want to say anything further. But he couldn't help himself. "The drink was brought by Qin Han, and you drank it with me. The truth is right in front of us. If you're still denying it, let me tell you something, Qin Yin. Don't you dare use your body to seal deals for the Qin family. Just because we shared a bed doesn't mean I'm going to hand out business deals to the Qin family. All projects must be won through fair competition. Do you really think that offering yourself could secure a lifetime of wealth and safety for the Qin Family? Dream on!"
With a slam, he opened the car door, preparing to leave.
But just as he stepped out of the car, a large group of people, led by his mother, appeared from a distance, approaching them.
He paused and stood by his car, watching them in silence.
Madam Nan came forward, looked at Nan Sichen's disheveled appearance and asked calmly, "Couldn't contain yourself because you were drunk?"
"No.", Nan Sichen replied coldly.
"So, someone really did drug you?", Madam Nan glanced inside the car and then smirked, "I wonder who in Jiang City would dare to drug my son."
Qin Yin trembled inside the car. At this point, she couldn't avoid the inevitable. She had to face it.
Thus, after composing herself, she climbed out of the car.
Qin Muliang was shocked to see Qin Yin emerging from the car. His legs were trembling, how could Qin Yin, his eldest daughter, not the smartest, but always well-behaved have done something so outrageous?
"It must be a misunderstanding, there must be some kind of misunderstanding. Yinyin, you need to explain quickly, explain quickly." Qin Muliang tried to approach Qin Yin. He was perfectly aware that if Qin Yin had indeed drugged Nan Sichen, it would spell the end for the Qin family in Jiang City, perhaps even in every other city, and they might be ruined.
At this point, Qin Han rushed over, looking innocent and outraged. "Sister, why would you do something like this? How could you do such a thing? Even if you are in love with Brother Sichen, you can't resort to drugging him. Don't you realize that you are disgracing our family? Where can our parents hide their faces after this?"
Li Yueyi spoke up too, her expression filled with sadness. "Yinyin, Auntie has always cared for you. You've been such a good girl. Why are you being so reckless this time? It breaks my heart. Love is about mutual feelings. Drugging someone won't work. Even if you drugged Sichen, it doesn't necessarily..."
