Medical and Martial God-Chapter 376: I Force You to Have an Affair, Do You Dare?

After leaving Wangjiang Pavilion, Ye Xiu had Chloe take Wu Meiyu back to the Tu Mountain Manor, while he, holding Qin Qing’s hand, headed to The Bund.

The Bund was one of the liveliest places in Jin Ye City and a must-visit destination for tourists—always bustling with activity.

Both Ye Xiu and Qin Qing were wearing masks, so nobody recognized them.

"Are you really confident about your fight with Ba Dao?"

Standing by the river, feeling the breeze from the Chi Li River and gazing at the distant, brightly lit towers, Qin Qing casually voiced the worry on her mind.

"In this world, no one can survive a full-strength strike from my blade," Ye Xiu declared confidently.

This put Qin Qing’s mind at ease. She then asked, "There are countless global live-streaming platforms, and with only two days left until your fight with Ba Dao, I don’t have enough time to negotiate with all of them. Besides, it’s impossible to settle on details like revenue sharing in such a short time."

Her tone held a minor complaint. Ye Xiu had given her an impossible task.

"You don’t need to go and negotiate with each of them," Ye Xiu said after a brief pause. "You just need to let the news leak. The owners of every global live-streaming platform will come flying to you, begging for the broadcast rights. And you don’t have to discuss revenue sharing with them at all—not only will we not be sharing money with them, but we’ll also be charging them an advertising fee."

Seeing Qin Qing’s puzzled expression, Ye Xiu chuckled and explained, "Think about it. The Huang Quan Badao battle is drawing global attention. Whichever streaming platform gets the rights will become number one in the world. What a massive advertisement that is for them! And they still want a cut? They’ll be outbidding each other to give you money, crying and begging for the rights."

Hearing Ye Xiu’s explanation, Qin Qing slapped her forehead. She had been completely overthinking things these past few days. All the global streaming platforms would dream of getting the rights to the Huang Quan Badao battle. Once they secured the rights, a single word from Huang Quan would be enough. Billions of people wanting to watch the fight would download that platform’s app onto their phones. That would be an enormous number of downloads and a terrifying amount of traffic. There was no need for her to negotiate with them one by one at all.

"I’ll make a call!" Qin Qing said, taking out her phone to call Ding Manlin, the Vice Chairman of the Zhulu Group.

"Sister Ding, call an immediate meeting, and you will chair it. Select the three largest domestic streaming platforms and call their owners. The broadcast rights for the Huang Quan Badao battle can be granted to them, but all revenue belongs to the Zhulu Group. In addition, charge them an advertising fee—starting at 500 million. Your team can determine the final amount during the meeting. Furthermore, the Zhulu Group will take a sixty-percent share of any revenue they generate from sponsorships and ads during the broadcast..."

Listening to Qin Qing on the phone, Ye Xiu smiled. That was Qin Qing for you—a woman of prompt action and decisive intelligence. No sooner had he finished speaking than she already had a plan drafted in her head, made her decision, and took immediate action.

"Why choose three domestic streaming platforms?" Ye Xiu inquired after Qin Qing finished her call.

"Such a great opportunity shouldn’t go to foreign platforms," Qin Qing said with a shrug and a smile. "As for why three, it’s to prevent any single company from cornering the market. By elevating three, they’ll keep each other in check."

Clever! That was a brilliant move. A masterful strategic play!

"By the way, what are your thoughts on the Qin Family constantly targeting you?" Ye Xiu asked, changing the subject. The secret of her origins would have to be revealed to Qin Qing eventually. He had hesitated before, worried that exposing the truth would destroy the marriage between Wu Meiyu and Qin Zhongwen. Now that he knew the inside story, there was no need to consider Qin Zhongwen’s feelings. Only Qin Qing needed to accept it.

"Why the sudden change of topic?" Qin Qing asked, though she answered nonetheless. "I’ve never understood it either. We’re both granddaughters, but there’s a massive difference in how the family treats me compared to Qin Anruo.

"From childhood, my mother was the only one who gave me an allowance or paid my tuition. The rest of the family never cared about me. To be blunt, in the entire Qin Family, my mother is the only one who has ever genuinely cared for me.

"Ten years ago, when you were just beginning your rise to power, Grandfather sent both me and Qin Anruo to you. Truthfully, they hoped you would choose Qin Anruo back then.

"After I turned eighteen, Grandfather, my father, and my uncle would often take me and Qin Anruo to various galas. They constantly pushed Qin Anruo toward the young masters of wealthy families while introducing me to middle-aged or even old men.

"After I graduated with my master’s degree, Grandfather stopped doing that because he discovered my talent for business, so he promoted me to the position of President of the Qin Corporation. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Even so, he didn’t give me a single share of the Qin Corporation’s stock, and my annual salary is a mere 500,000. You should know, aside from my mother and me, everyone else in the Qin Family has equity. Qin Anruo and Qin Junyi have higher salaries than me, and they just hold token positions..."

Speaking of these past events, Qin Qing felt both angry and wronged. She was not one to pick fights or quibble over personal gains, but the whole situation left her feeling incredibly stifled.

"Have you ever suspected you might not be their biological child?" Ye Xiu led her toward the truth gently, afraid she would struggle to accept it if he were too direct.

"Of course, I’ve suspected it!" Qin Qing said with absolute certainty. "I didn’t just suspect it. Two years ago, I secretly plucked a strand of my mother’s hair and had a DNA test done. The results showed that I am indeed her biological daughter."

"You are your mother’s biological daughter, but it’s possible you aren’t your father’s," Ye Xiu said timidly.

"That’s impossible, isn’t it?" Qin Qing said, refusing to believe it. "You know my mom. With her weak and submissive nature, she would never dare have an affair."

"What if it was your father, your grandfather, and your uncle who forced her to have an affair?" Ye Xiu asked.

Qin Qing paused and touched Ye Xiu’s forehead. "You don’t have a fever. How can you say such ridiculous things? If I forced you to have an affair, would you do it?"

Heh, as if I would dare! I’m afraid you’d snip it off while I was sleeping!

"Qin Zhongwen is congenitally infertile," Ye Xiu said after a moment’s hesitation, finally dropping the bombshell.

BOOM!

Qin Qing was stunned. She froze for a full minute, her large eyes wide with disbelief, before she finally asked, "Are you... are you telling the truth?"

In that moment, everything clicked into place. Qin Qing suddenly understood why Ye Xiu had checked her mother’s and Qin Zhongwen’s pulses, why he had taken her mother aside for a private chat, and why he had suddenly brought up how poorly the Qin Family treated her.

"Let me tell you the truth..."

Ye Xiu recounted his conversation with Wu Meiyu, word for word.

When he finished speaking, he saw Qin Qing lower her head in silence. But then, an excited expression gradually appeared on her face.

What is happening? Shouldn’t a revelation this huge trigger a mental breakdown? Shouldn’t she be unable to process it for a while? What’s with this sudden excitement?

"Help me with two things."

Qin Qing suddenly raised her head. Her eyes were glistening with tears, yet she stared at Ye Xiu with immense excitement.
