“no, we’re both just taking what we need.” yin xun looked at qu lu and smiled.

“of course, this is just a suggestion. whether you want to do it or not, that’s up to you. you have two choices in front of you. continue to work hard to marry into the fang family, or 1’11 help you open your own company and escape the control of others.”

yin xun was not intentionally being overbearing, but given qu lu’s current situation, there were indeed only two options. qu lu knew this himself, so she did not refute it.

the conditions were very tempting to her. if she succeeded, she would no longer have to listen to others. however, qu lu did not trust yin xun. after all, yin xun and qu lin had always been very close. who knew if this plan was related to qu lin?

“since you know so much, you should also know that qu lin has always tried to ruin the relationship between fang yao and me because she wants to match you up with him. this is all to prevent me from harming her when 1 gain more power than her, right?” qu lu’s gaze was fixed on yin xun, afraid that she would miss a microscopic change in her expression. this was a very important deal, after all.

however, yin xun was stunned for a moment before shaking her head. “1 didn’t know that. so that’s why she did all that. i learned something new.”

qu lu,”…” she seemed to have accidentally said something unbelievable.

“ahem, that’s not important. what’s important is the business opportunity you mentioned. i know yao likes you. you’re telling me this so you can have him, right?” qu lu quickly changed the topic awkwardly.

yin xun shook her head. “i’m not sure if he likes me or not, but i’m sure it has nothing to do with what i’m proposing. if you don’t believe me…”

yin xun’s phone suddenly rang. she took it out and saw that it was a call from liu ying.

she looked at qu lu with a smile. “alright, you’ll know soon if i’m telling the truth.”

she pressed the answer button in front of qu lu and heard liu ying’s weak voice coming from the other end of the line. “yin xun, i’m on my period. my stomach hurts…”

yin xun said helplessly, “is there anything at home that can relieve the pain?”

liu ying said aggrievedly, “no, nothing.”

“then i’ll go buy something for you now. oh right, the qu lu 1 told you about the other day is at my house now. shall 1 bring her along?” yin xun asked.

“sure, i want to meet her too,” liu ying said.

after hanging up the phone, yin xun looked at qu lu for her opinion. “the person who called me just now is the girl 1 told you about. she also left home to start her own business, but there’s only one person now. she needs to find a few partners. i think you’re a suitable choice, so i suggested you to her. do you want to go over and meet her?”

qu lu looked at yin xun. initially, she thought that yin xun was just looking for an excuse to make her leave fang yao.

she already knew she had no chance to be with fang yao. fang yao had already made it clear that no matter how thick-skinned she was, she could not keep chasing after him.

therefore, even if yin xun did not invite her today, she planned to give up on fang yao. however, the suggestion did not sound like a bad thing. there was no harm in going to take a look.

qu lu nodded in agreement.

yin xun drove qu lu out to buy some heat packs and brown sugar before heading to liu ying’s house.

although they lived in the same residential area, because the place was so huge and liu ying lived in the opposite half, the two of them would drive almost every time they visited each other. this was faster and more convenient.

“you sure know how to take care of people.” qu lu turned around and looked at the pile of things that yin xun had bought in the backseat.

yin xun smiled and said, “you have to rely on your friends when you’re out. if you become friends with me in the future, i’ll be sure to pay attention to you.”

“hmph.” qu lu snorted coldly and did not say anything else. she just looked out of the window.

suddenly, she thought of something and said, “by the way, don’t tell anyone what i said about qu lin getting in my way. if she finds out, she’ll do something to me again.”

yin xun looked at her in confusion. “what did you just say?”

“you’re quite good at pretending.” qu lu smiled for the first time. although the smile disappeared in a flash, she had let down her guard against yin xun.

qu lu looked more relieved, but yin xun began to ponder.

the two of them quickly arrived at liu ying’s house. the door was not locked. when the two of them entered, they saw liu ying lying on the sofa, looking like she was half-dead.

“you’re finally here…” liu ying greeted yin xun and qu lu.

yin xun helped liu ying make a cup of brown sugar water and gave her the heat pack before sitting down. “if it’s still so serious tomorrow, i can give you another day off..”
