After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 35: Chapter 35 What If I’m Not a Good Person

Is he worth it?

Qin Jiangsheng had never felt warmth from the moment he was born.

After he became sensible, that woman cursed him as a freak, as a bastard, and did nothing but beat and scold him.

Then, when he was four years old, she abandoned him and left.

Ji Tian didn’t know how bad he was inside, that he harbored a devil in his heart, wanting to crush these people to dust, shatter their bones, drink their blood and flesh, and have them kneeling on the ground begging for his forgiveness.

He wanted to destroy everything happy and beautiful, the radiant smiles, the warm families, he hated all of these things.

But Ji Tian said he was a good person.

She never knew that he also wanted to kill her.

His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, almost finding it funny, “What if I’m not a good person?”

Ji Tian looked at him, still picturing the day Qin Jiangsheng fed bread to the little bird in her mind, and firmly said, “You are a good person!”

Because he’s a good person, should she be good to him?

Qin Jiangsheng had originally thought, after kidnapping Ji Tian, to reveal his ferocious fangs, to let her see that she was provoking a bloodthirsty devil, to make her regret, to make her cry.

But now, Qin Jiangsheng wanted to conceal his true nature, and hope that Ji Tian would never find out.

He was sick, he seemed a little too fond of Ji Tian’s kindness.

So, let him remain a good person in front of her.

He responded softly, “Yeah, I’m a good person.”

After the car arrived at the hospital, Qin Jiangsheng’s temperature had risen to forty degrees, and all Ji Tian could do was exclaim that it was no wonder he’s the big villain; such a high fever hadn’t reduced him to an idiot.

He lay on the hospital bed receiving an IV drip.

Ji Qilin arrived at the hospital soon after, and Ji Tian immediately stopped him, insisting that they talk outside so as not to let Qin Jiangsheng hear. She had worked so hard to reach this point; she couldn’t let it be ruined.

The two stood at a corner some distance from the ward, and Ji Tian blinked her eyes, “The doctor said he could go home after the IV is finished.”

Ji Qilin looked at her silently for a moment, “So, you’re planning on taking him home with you?”

“Cough.” Indeed, that was what Ji Tian had in mind, she had been too furious at the Bai Family’s house, only letting Qin Jiangsheng go after making the Bai Family apologize.

But Ji Tian didn’t regret it, anyway, they would have to confront the Bai Family sooner or later. Now they could still keep up appearances, but who knew what the Bai Family truly had in mind.

It might be better to tear off the facade early, perhaps it could prevent future trouble.

She stammered in her explanation, “Qin Jiangsheng is my friend, and we’ve been taught from a young age to virtuous and loyal. I have to lend a hand to a friend in trouble. Big brother, let’s just take him home for a few days. Maybe the Bai Family will come to pick him up in a couple of days.”

Ji Qilin just silently watched her.

Ji Tian immediately started to act spoiled, hugging his arm, “Big brother, dear big brother, let’s help him, okay?”

Ji Qilin gave in, rubbing his temples with a headache, “I have no objections. Eldest brother probably has nothing to say, but how do you plan to explain to our parents about suddenly bringing home a boy?”

Ji Tian was a bit stunned, and it took her a while to react, “Aren’t mom and dad on vacation? We just won’t tell them.”

Ji Qilin laughed softly, “Mom and Dad booked the earliest flight to Capital City last night, and they’ll be home by this afternoon.”

He glanced at the time, “Eldest brother has already gone to pick them up, and they should have arrived by now.”

Ji Tian: “…”

“Why did they suddenly come back?”

“Your big brother blabbed about your kidnapping to Mom and Dad, and they were so worried that they wanted to come back,” Ji Tian said. “Moreover, because of your recent lack of motivation in your studies, Mom has decided to tutor you personally.”

Ji Tian: “…”

She might as well have been asked to wash garlic.

Although she had yet to return home, a deep sense of misery had already overwhelmed her.

She had made up her mind; she would rather die than study.

Someone had to be the failure—why couldn’t that someone be her?

Ji Tian emo’d in the hospital for three hours. After getting fluids and medicine, Qin Jiangsheng’s fever had gone down, and he looked a lot more spirited.

He glanced at Ji Qilin, whose gaze was indifferent, then said to Ji Tian, “Take me back to the Bai Family.”

Ji Tian had just made a fierce declaration; how could she let Qin Jiangsheng return so easily? She flatly refused, “No way! They must come and apologize to you. Besides, the whole kidnapping thing had nothing to do with you, and they even beat you to this extent. You’re going to be in pain for a while; you can’t go back!”

Qin Jiangsheng: “…” @@novelbin@@

The gang that had kidnapped him had nothing to do with him, but there was another gang that did.

He was thankful, for inadvertently, the wrong path had been taken.

As for his injuries, he would pay them back in time.

In the end, Ji Tian still took Qin Jiangsheng back to the Ji Family.

Even for the sake of saving face, she couldn’t just let Qin Jiangsheng leave.

When she entered her family’s living room, she immediately sensed that the atmosphere was far from wonderful.

Ji Weinan was standing off to the side, a picture of grievance, while Ji Lingyun had a stern face.

Upon seeing Ji Tian return, he immediately called out, “Mom, little sister and second brother are back.”

Sitting on the sofa was an elegant and gentle lady in a Chanel-style dress, her figure voluptuous and her face beautiful. She didn’t look like a mother of four from her appearance.

Her eyes lit up upon seeing Ji Tian, “My good baby, Mommy missed you so much. I heard you’ve been kidnapped, are you hurt?”

Mrs. Ji, who went by Lady Qiao in public, liked others to address her as such. To her, elegance and intelligence were her hallmarks.

Father Ji, Ji Yanshang, had an air of seriousness that was identical to his eldest son, Ji Lingyun. Father and son were as if cast from the same mold.

He was strict with his son but spoiled Ji Tian to no end. If she asked for the stars, he would find a way to pluck them from the sky for his daughter.

Ji Tian forced a smile, “Mom, I’m okay… Your return is rather sudden. What’s happened to big brother, and why is he standing over there?”

Lady Qiao didn’t answer her. Instead, her gaze was drawn to the young man behind Ji Tian, and she asked, “My good baby, who is he?”

Ji Tian pulled Qin Jiangsheng forward and tentatively said, “His name is Qin Jiangsheng, he’s the second young master of the Bai Family, but today Bai Tingyu and Uncle Bai bullied him. I couldn’t stand by, so I brought him back with me. Mom, you won’t blame me for being impulsive, will you?”

Ji Yanshang raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, “The illegitimate child of the Bai Family?”

The words “illegitimate child” noticeably shifted the atmosphere. Qin Jiangsheng’s expression didn’t change, having grown accustomed to the label defining him, while Ji Tian felt awkward and was about to say something to lighten the mood.

Then she saw Lady Qiao’s eyes flash with anger, hands on her hips as she scolded, “Old Ji, do you have any manners at all? Calling him an illegitimate child; if anyone’s to blame, it’s Bai Yan Zhang who couldn’t keep it in his pants. What did this child do wrong?”

Ji Yanshang, who feared nothing more than Lady Qiao’s wrath, immediately gave in, “Alright, alright, I misspoke. Wife, don’t be angry.”

Lady Qiao took Qin Jiangsheng by the arm and seated him on the sofa, speaking kindly, “Xiao Qin, have a seat here for a moment. Your Uncle Ji is tactless; don’t take it to heart. I need to deal with some family matters, but afterwards, someone will prepare a room for you.”

She then turned her eyes to Ji Tian, the tenderness in her voice now gone, “Come and stand next to your big brother!”
