Qu Lin looked at Ding Shan provocatively. “How is it? My sister is so good at pretending to be pitiful. She only thinks of herself. As long as her interests are not violated, she won’t argue. How about you be my dog? I’ve always been very protective of my pets. Not only can I help you solve your business problems, but I’ll also protect you from being bullied. ‘

Qu Lin’s words were not polite at all. She said nasty things in her face. Every time she felt that she had gone overboard, she would think about what happened in the past and refuse to be apologetic. On the contrary, Qu Lin even felt that she was already gentle enough.

“Linlin, your words are a little too much. We did not really make things difficult for Miss Yin. Why are you overreacting?” Hearing Qu Lin scold Ding Shan so much, Wu Fei frowned.

“I’m sorry, Linlin. I shouldn’t have come looking for you.” Qu Lu apologized. “Feifei, Lil Shan, let’s go over there.” Sighing, Qu Lu did not want to continue arguing with Qu Lin. She turned around and left.

“Let’s go.” Wu Fei pulled Ding Shan’s hand and was about to leave.

“But…” Ding Shan did not move.

Wu Fei said imploringly, “Look at the situation here. Don’t cause trouble for

…..

Lulu.”

Ding Shan frowned as she looked at Qu Lin. She was not convinced, but she did not dare to fight Qu Lin head-on. She could only place her hopes on Qu Lu. She did not expect that Qu Lu would back out.

Ding Shan felt a little disappointed. She had been scolded because she tried to help Qu Lu, but Qu Lu did not intervene. Ding Shan felt that she was overthinking things. She had no choice but to simply glare at Qu Lin before leaving with Wu Fei.

“Lulu, what are you afraid of Qu Lin for? You’re her sister, how can you be suppressed by her like this?” Ding Shan chased after Qu Lu angrily and asked her in a low voice.

Qu Lu walked to a corner and sat down. She sighed and explained, “I’ve been bullied since I was young, so I’m already used to it. I couldn’t beat her when I was young, and that’s even more the case now. Perhaps I’ll be fine after I marry

Yao, but…”

Qu Lu looked at Ding Shan apologetically. “I can’t help you with that matter.

You know that Linlin likes to go against me in everything. I didn’t expect her to hear about this too. That project… was intercepted by her.’

‘What?!” Ding Shan stood up abruptly and said in disbelief, “That’s my project.

Why would she snatch it away?”

“Because my parents love her more than me, and because she has more power at home than I do. If it weren’t for my relationship with Yao, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even be able to stay at home. She would definitely chase me out.”

The more Qu Lu spoke, the redder her eyes became. She covered her face with her hands and said, “1 can tolerate all of this. As long as I successfully marry Yao in the end, my hard life will come to an end. When the time comes, I will be able to speak up and help you. But who would’ve thought Yin Xun would appear out of nowhere? Every time I went to see Yao, she would pester him. She even said that she was Yao’s girlfriend! How many men can resist a woman’s constant pestering, especially a decent-looking girl?”

“Lil Shan, I think you know more about this than I do.” Qu Lu looked at Ding Shan.

Everyone knew how much Ding Shan’s father loved her mother in the past. Their love was well-known in the entire circle. However, a young and beautiful woman suddenly appeared and pestered Master Ding. At first, he could still withstand it, but later on, he could not resist the woman’s gentleness and gave in. In the end, he even sired a son with that woman.

“If Yao and I are interrupted by Yin Xun in the end, we won’t be able to get married. We won’t have the Fang family to rely on anymore. In addition, I’m not favored by my sister to start with, so I won’t have any say in the Qu family in the future. You don’t have a good relationship with my sister either. It’s already very kind of her not to hit you when you’re down. You can’t expect her to help you in the future. If it reached that point, I won’t be able to help you either. You can only rely on yourself.”

Qu Lu’s voice was so soft that no one else could hear her even though the piano music in the hall had suddenly stopped.

They were at a corner where only a few people passed by occasionally. However, everyone was busy exchanging pleasantries, so no one noticed the three girls whispering.

Since there were no outsiders around, Qu Lu removed her facade and her gaze turned cold. She looked completely different from the person who appeared in front of Qu Lin just now.

Ding Shan did not notice the change in Qu Lu at all. At this moment, all she could think of was that Qu Lu was no longer able to help her. It was all because of Yin Xun. Thinking about how all her assets would be taken away by that illegitimate child if she had no allies, Ding Shan could not help but clench her fists.

“Yin Xun… No, I can’t let her succeed…” Ding Shan gritted her teeth and whispered..
