Chapter 1275: No Joy From Victory
“I agree. If the Second Master of the Zhai family was really as powerful as the legend says, the Zhai family would not have deteriorated so much in the past two years.”
There was a regretful expression on Mr. Qu’s face as he said: “To be honest, I really can’t bear to see the Zhai family be in this state. We have been in an alliance with the Zhai family for so many years. I truly did not expect this to change in our generation.”
“It’s okay. You don’t need to lament about this. If the old doesn’t go, the new won’t come. There’s nothing in life that’s set in stone. There will always be changes. The only difference is whether the change is in our hands or in the hands of others.”
Then, the group asked Qin Chuan what to do next.
Qin Chuan told them not to be anxious and that he would pay close attention to the actions of the Zhai family. He also told them he would make plans for the future development of the Loyalty Alliance.
Upon hearing Qin Chuan’s words, a lot of them felt much at ease.
However, as Qin Chuan left Cai Ningxuan, he felt no joy from his victory over Zhai Yunsheng.
His heart didn’t move for the person he liked in his past life.
And his heart beat rapidly for the person he hated in his past life.
The person he didn’t like stayed by his side and the person he liked stayed by someone else’s side.

And thus, Qin Chuan did not feel happy over this victory. After all, what was there to be happy about.
As the memories of his two lives were intertwined in his mind, sometimes, he could not distinguish which life he was in.
He couldn’t even tell if he liked the current Jian Yiling more or the former Jian Yiling who was crazily in love with him.
He just did the things that he remembered doing.
But he could not bring back the happiness he once felt.
Everything in his life had deviated from the original track.
And now, he was the one who did things without considering their consequences. In the past, didn’t Jian Yiling do that as well?
This time around, he personally experienced the sensation of powerlessness and loneliness.
As soon as Qin Chuan returned to the Qin Residence, he was greeted by Mo Shiyun. Mo Shiyun had a warm smile on her face as she asked: “Why are you back so early today?”
“I’m a little tired,” Qin Chuan replied as he avoided Mo Shiyun’s touch. Then, he returned to his study upstairs.
After she got rejected, Mo Shiyun stood still in the same place. She got hit by a pang of sadness.
However, she didn’t show her dissatisfaction.
She knew that Qin Chuan did not like her. She also knew that he was avoiding her.
But that didn’t matter. She was willing to wait. After all, Jian Yiling did not like Qin Chuan. If enough time passed by, he would eventually forget Jian Yiling and turn his attention to her.
Qin Yufan stood at the entrance of the stairs. She said furiously: “Qin Chuan, you must be very proud of yourself! You must be happy that the Zhai family is ruined! And now, you have total control over Beijing!You’ve perfectly inherited our father’s virtue of being a profit-minded man! Well, let me tell you right now that even if you win and even if Zhai Yunsheng has nothing, I still think he’s better than you! He’s more of a man than you!”
Qin Chuan looked at Qin Yufan’s angry face. In his memories, she had also questioned him in such anger.
Back then, she also said that he was not worthy to compete with Zhai Yunsheng.
However, at that time, she said so because she liked Zhai Yunsheng.
Now, she was saying this because she hated him for what he did.
“Qin Chuan! Say something back! Are you mute or something? If you’re capable of doing those despicable things, why are you not capable of answering my questions?!”
Qin Chuan did not answer Qin Yufan’s question. Instead, he bypassed Qin Yufan and went straight to his bedroom.
