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

Ji Tian lowered her head to look at the drenched Qin Jiangsheng, her hand hanging by her side slowly clenched into a fist. She did not answer Bai Yan Zhang's question but instead asked, "You didn't let him return home yesterday, did you?"

"You let him get soaked in the rain all night, right?"

She raised her eyes to look directly at the indifferent Bai Tingyu, "Yesterday, you promised to let him in, why did you go back on your word?"

Bai Tingyu's demeanor turned even colder, and finally, he smirked, "Is that so? How come I don't know about that?"

Narrowing his eyes, he feigned confusion, "So, Miss Ji, are you taking pity on this bastard?"

If she said yes, that meant she was confirming her opposition to him for Qin Jiangsheng's sake.

If she said no, that meant she was abandoning Qin Jiangsheng.

Ji Tian was not at all afraid of the Bai Family and she too gave a faint smile, "I'm not taking pity on him. I just can't stand your disgusting actions. Besides, he is Qin Jiangsheng; he does not need anyone's pity. No matter what you say, I only want to stand by his side and protect him to the best of my ability."

Bai Yan Zhang narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Ji Qilin, his expression growing colder, "Is this the stance of the Ji Family?"

Ji Tian used her hand to shield Ji Qilin, "This is my own decision; it has nothing to do with my brother or anyone else."

"He's just a useless, invalid son. What do you hope to gain from him? Niece, think thrice before you act. Some people can't be protected just because you want to protect them." The more Bai Yan Zhang looked at Qin Jiangsheng, the more disgusted he felt.

He always reminded him of some unpleasant things, memories that haunted him like a nightmare, tightly encircling him. His face, so like that woman's, made him feel inferior to the dust.

He wanted to ruin that face.

Bai Yan Zhang reached for a scalding teacup and smashed it toward Qin Jiangsheng's face, "People like him should just die. Why didn't you die out there instead of coming back?"

The accident happened in an instant, as Ji Tian instinctively extended her hand to shield Qin Jiangsheng, the boiling tea striking the back of her hand, scalding her delicate skin red and swollen.

The teacup smashed onto the ground, shattering into pieces.

If that cup of water had really hit Qin Jiangsheng's face, he would have been disfigured for sure.

"Tiantian!" Ji Qilin's expression changed, and he tried to check her injury, but Ji Tian pushed him away.

Bending down, Ji Tian, disregarding everyone present, firmly helped Qin Jiangsheng to his feet. She looked into his quiet tea-colored eyes and slowly said, "Don't kneel to them."

She then turned to Bai Yan Zhang, "If you don't want him, I do. If the Bai Family doesn't apologize to him, I won't let him come back."

Having said this, Ji Tian took Qin Jiangsheng and left.

Bai Tingyu watched the two departing figures with a dark expression, eventually turning to Ji Qilin, "Is this the decision of the Ji Family? To oppose me and stand by Qin Jiangsheng's side?"

Ji Qilin looked helplessly at Ji Tian's obstinate departure, sighing inwardly, not understanding how that boy had caught his sister's eye.

With his gentle demeanor, even as Bai Tingyu bore down on him, he remained calm and collected, "What can be done? If my sister likes him, I can only let her be. After all, if the sky falls, I'll be there to hold it up for her."

He looked at Bai Yan Zhang with a smile, "Uncle Bai, sorry for the intrusion, but we'll be on our way now."

He took a step and then turned back to add, "By the way, your open mistreatment of him has thoroughly shamed the Bai Family. This move has been unsightly."

If you can't tolerate him, why take him back, recognize his status, yet not provide an environment suitable for his growth?

Furious, Bai Yan Zhang flipped tables and chairs to the ground. Bai Tingyu glanced at him and remained silent, eyes downcast.

Housekeeper Bai entered, "Master, Old Sir Bai has arrived."

Bai Yan Zhang's face grew even uglier, "What is he doing here?"

"Hmph! Can't I come?" Old Sir Bai walked in, leaning on his walking stick.

He appeared to be over seventy years old, with white hair, yet his body remained robust. His voice carried some indignation, "I see you haven't taken my words to heart. When I said to treat Jiangsheng well, is this how you covertly defy me?"

Bai Yan Zhang was scolded by his own father, and his pride was a bit bruised, "Dad, he's just a mistake I made in the past. He should be grateful just for being able to live in the Bai Family, and you expect me to treat him well? Besides, he's the son of that woman... I feel sick just seeing him."

Old Sir Bai snorted coldly, "Regardless of whether he's that woman's son, it's not right for you to treat him like this as his father. He should be properly brought up, not humiliated."

"Even if the Qin Family doesn't want him, as his father, you should still treat him properly. Moreover, the attitude of the Qin Family is unpredictable; it's better to be cautious."

"Tomorrow, you must bring Jiangsheng back from the Ji Family, otherwise you can forget about managing the Bai Family's company."

After Old Sir Bai issued his stern ultimatum, Bai Yan Zhang felt somewhat aggrieved.

After he left, he swept the objects off the table and said to Bai Tingyu, "Tingyu, you must develop your business to an unrivaled level in the future. That way, you won't have to act according to others' wishes anymore, the Ji Family, the Qin Family, they will all bow down to you."

Bai Tingyu nodded, then indifferently turned and went upstairs.

Bai Yan Zhang didn't need to tell him; he intended to rise above others himself.

To be honest, he felt somewhat envious of Qin Jiangsheng.

Even if his origins were disliked by others.

He was, after all, from the Qin Family.

That mysterious and ancient family from the Capital City, far surpassing their so-called Four Great Financial Groups of Kyoto.

They probably wouldn't even give it a second glance.

But he was also relieved that Qin Jiangsheng was a despised existence, now only able to depend on the Bai Family to get by.

The road to success always requires stepping stones.

And the one that could propel him swiftly forward was only the Ji Family.

Thinking of Ji Weinan, Bai Tingyu narrowed his eyes, deciding to start with the Ji Family.

...

Ji Tian pulled Qin Jiangsheng out and immediately ordered Uncle Zhou to go to the hospital.

Qin Jiangsheng's whole body was burning with fever, leaning against the car window, and from beginning to end, he was very quiet, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ji Tian feared he was in discomfort and comforted him, "We'll be at the hospital soon. You're running a high fever now; it must be really uncomfortable, right? Don't worry, I'll spend the money to get you treated."

Qin Jiangsheng's tea-colored eyes hid unspeakable emotions, very profound and subtle. Ji Tian was stared at until she nearly lost her voice, wondering in her heart if she had done something to make him dislike her?

The back of her hand had even blistered because of him.

After a while, his low and hoarse voice finally sounded, "Why?"

This was the first sentence he had said that day.

Ji Tian didn't immediately understand, "What?"

"Why, are you so good to me?"

Ji Tian thought it was something else; this kind of easy question, she'd nail it!

"Because you deserve it, Qin Jiangsheng. Haven't I said it? You're a good person, and that's why I want to be good to you."

Qin Jiangsheng's Adam's apple bobbed, the black hair on his forehead somewhat covering his eyes, but Ji Tian's facial profile was crystal clear, deeply etching itself into his heart.
