Chapter 10

Shen Family took a hit and her elder cousin brother got fell into the pit.

After I completely ignited the clues I had laid in Shen's company for the past two years, Shen's capital chain was soon broken.

On behalf of Lu Group, I told the Qin Family that Lu Group could accept the mess caused by Shen Group's deficit and become Qin Group's new partner.

But the premise was that Qin Ruyue must be in charge of the project.

After Qin Ruyue took over most of Qin Group, she was more active than me in dealing with Shen Group.

She said confidently: "Since we have already torn surfaces apart, of course we have to aim the critical part while he is sick, otherwise are we going to wait for him to recover and then bite me? Besides, isn't this what you taught me back then?"

"Indeed." I gave a thumbs up, "Congratulations, you are better than your teacher."

At the same time, Lu Yanci also came back from abroad and thoroughly rectified some people in the Lu Group who had dealings with the Shen Group.

Under such high pressure, Shen Group could only sell assets and technology to survive.

It just so happened that the industries that Shen and Lu were involved in overlapped, so we acquired a lot of Shen's core assets and technologies at a low price.

It was the day when the news came out that Shen Ye was sentenced to fifteen years for multiple crimes.

Qin Ruyue was so delighted that she sought me to drink champagne in broad daylight. After all, she was now truly President Qin.

"I heard that Shen Ye always wanted to see you, but you refused." Qin Ruyue asked, "Don't you want to hear his words of regret?"

I smiled and shook my head.

In terms of feelings, I never look back.

Since Shen Ye chose commercial marriage, everything between him and me had ended.

Afterward, he kept pestering and brought bad consequences.

"Then you don't plan to continue to manage Lu Group?" Qin Ruyue asked.

"I still want to do scientific research." I said, "Everything in the Lu Family doesn't belong to me. I prefer to be Jiang Zhi compared to Lu Yuwen."

"Okay, with your brain, you can do anything."

Qin Ruyue signed a check while speaking and put it in my hand.

"What is this?" I smiled, "If you want to support my research funding, then no need. I have made a lot this time. Plus the shares in my hand, money is not a problem."

"It's the commission for helping me endorse the goods in the past."

She pointed to the earrings on her ears with a slightly drunken smile and leaned on my shoulder, "Let me tell you one more thing. In fact, I helped poor students back then just to act in front of you and wanted to use you to help me and my mom get rid of the difficulties in the Qin Family.

"But later, do you know who my secretary is? It’s the girl I sent sanitary napkins to back then. Over the years, she accompanied me through the ups and downs in the Qin Family. She saved my life three years ago.

"It was also because of her that I founded my own charity fund after I became an adult. And the reason I was able to take over Qin Group so quickly this time was because the students I sponsored over the years entered various departments of Qin Group.

"So I apologize for the class remarks I deliberately made against you for Shen Ye before."

...

When I walked out of Qin Ruyue's club.

Xiao Yue happily rushed over and hugged my waist and said, "Sister, Anan and I are here to pick you up."

Li Anan stood in front of her newly bought car.

"Zhizhi, hurry up, Auntie Lin said she is almost at our doorstep. She brought Australian beef that is just airlifted today. Hotpot, hotpot, here we come."

After getting in the car, Anan immediately stepped on the accelerator and happily chirped.

Give me the blazing sun 9

Chapter 9

Because of my performance, I was increasingly recognized by Father Lu and gained more power from him.

"Although my mom was injured in the brain, she understood my thoughts. So even if she didn't want to stay in the Lu Family, she never showed it in front of me.

"And I..." I took a deep breath, "If she didn't say it, I pretended not to know. I thought life would go on like that.

"That was until that day my mom suddenly begged me to take her away from the Lu Family.

"That was the first time she asked me, but I didn't answer her. I just asked her what to do if she got sick after leaving the Lu Family? Should I continue my studies or take care of her?

"She was silent for a long time before she said, 'Yeah, how could I be so selfish?'. I thought that matter was over, but that night she got sick and jumped from the top floor of the villa."

Afterwards, I learned that the research institute where she worked when she was young was officially declared bankrupt and closed that day...

At that moment, I remembered that when I first arrived at the Lu Family. My only wish was to protect my mom and never let her be bullied again.

But I changed. Because of capital and power, I became arrogant and self-righteous.

I felt that my choice was the most rational and the best for everyone.

"I didn't protect my mom well. For the sake of power, status and capital, I ignored her pain; I used her illness and the excuse for the best of everyone to ignore her requests and became an accomplice in oppressing her.”

"She had a drawer. In addition to my photos from childhood to adulthood, there were all briefings about the research institute that she cut out.

"But that day her ideal was completely shattered and her beloved daughter also betrayed her."

"Wenwen..." Qin Ruyue reached out and held the back of my hand.

"I found out that efficiency, profit, and power aren’t everything in life, but at that time I didn't know what I wanted after losing my mom." I said, "So I planned to leave the Lu Family, but encountered Aunt Jiang.

"Poverty can really force out the evil of human nature to the greatest extent, but Aunt Jiang let me know that even in such an environment, there are still people who will take out a little from their own food money to help you.

"Conscience has nothing to do with class, while virtue has nothing to do with knowledge. In these years of living as an ordinary person, I have found some things and began to think clearly about what I want to do.”

"I went back to the Lu Family because I don't want to wait until the people around me are hurt before I regret it. But I certainly didn't expect to keep entangling with Shen Ye, because I have my own goals in life."

"What about now?" Qin Ruyue said, "It seems that you are willing to let Shen Ye go, but Shen Ye obviously doesn't want to let you go."

"Yes." I turned my head and looked straight into her eyes, "So you should cut off from Shen Ye as soon as possible."

"You mean..." She showed an inquiring gaze.

I said calmly, "The Lu Family has a family motto, which is to be prepared for any eventuality."

Although I did not intend to fight Shen Ye to the death at the beginning, I couldn’t do nothing in the face of potential enemies.

In the past two years, I have had people keep an eye on Shen Group and Shen Ye as well as planting some people in Shen Group.

The things in hand, plus the strength of Lu Group, were enough to make Shen Ye drink to his full.

I calculated the time accurately and got Lu Group to issue a statement before the Shen Family was investigated.

"Explaining" that although my mom and Father Lu had a romantic relationship, the two had separated after Father Lu got married.

Later, my mom and I returned to the Lu Family because my mom suffered a brain injury in the robbery and couldn’t take care of herself. So the Lu Family took us back to take care of us.

At the same time, I got someone to post the adoption agreement that Father Lu got the lawyer to settle, indicating that I was originally just an adopted daughter of the Lu Family.

After doing all this, I went back to the Lu Family villa.

Sitting in the room where my mom lived before she died, staring at the photo of her and me in the past.

I knew this was the best time to uncover everything my mom went through.

But if I did this, what would happen to Auntie Lin and Lu Yanci. And what would happen to so many people who were working hard for the new project?

"Do you feel guilty?"

At some point, Auntie Lin came to my side.

She sat down, took my hand, looked at the person in the photo, and said with a wry smile: "This is what you have to go through if you are in your current position. To preserve the interests of the company and the majority of people, sacrifice yourself, your family, your feelings, and even the truth.

"I don't know how to persuade you, because I haven't figured out what to do about this. But I have something to give you."

Auntie Lin took out a photo of me giving a speech as a student representative in middle school.

"This was taken when your mother asked me to secretly take her out of the villa to watch your speech." Auntie Lin said.

I looked at myself in the photo, and then turned it over to look at the familiar handwriting on the back - [May my baby become the best version of herself, hold her head high, and have no regrets in her life. 】

"Mom..."

Tears could not stop falling from my eyes. Auntie Lin reached out and hugged me into her arms: "She has always been proud of you."

When Shen Ye and the person in charge of the relevant projects were taken away to assist in the investigation, I got someone to release the information about the internal struggle of the Shen Family.

This involved criminal cases such as hiring a killer to kill, kidnapping and extortion.

Although Shen Ye was a victim in that incident, it was enough to hit the reputation of the Shen Family, not to mention that Shen Ye's means of counterattack and revenge almost involved half of the criminal law.

For a time, public opinion was in an uproar.

At the same time, the news that some projects that had been suppressed by the Shen Family had kept exploding on the hot search.

Qin Ruyue cooperated. Not only did she break off the engagement with Shen Ye, she also pushed out the projects of the Qin and Shen families.

Chapter 8

"Okay, I'll get someone to pay attention and notify you if there is any problem."

"Thank you." Qin Ruyue stretched on the sofa.

"Tired from rectifying Qin's hotel business?" I asked.

"Tired." She half-closed her eyes and raised the corners of her lips, "But this is the first time in my life that I'm so happy to be tired. It's really different to have power in my own hands."

"This feeling is much better than dating."

She opened her eyes and looked at me.

"It’s good that you like it." I smiled and my eyebrows curved.

After that, Shen Ye never harassed me again. I spent most of my energy on the project in the laboratory.

That was until the second year before the Lu shareholders' meeting. I was still sorting data in the laboratory when I suddenly received a call from Secretary Lin from Lu Yanci’s side.

I picked up the phone. It was Lu Yanci's voice on the other end: "Wenwen, don't be afraid. There’s Elder Brother."

It was then that I realized that someone had revealed the story of my biological mother on the Internet and exposed that I wasn’t the biological daughter of Father Lu.

[Oh my God, this is too ruinous to the norms. Lu Yuwen is not only an illegitimate daughter, but also a bastard born by her mother and another man outside. 】

【This mom was awesome enough. Not only is she a mistress, she also cheated on Father Lu. How explosive. 】

【It’s revealed that her mom has a mental illness. This won't be hereditary, right? 】

【How can Lu Group let someone who may be at risk of mental illness be the project leader? 】

...

I looked at the various opinions on the Internet, squeezed my palms, closed my eyes, and took deep breaths several times before I calmed myself down a little.

"Elder Brother, I'm fine. I will get to the bottom of this."

"No need to investigate." As soon as I finished speaking, Qin Ruyue hurried in and threw a stack of information in front of me, "It's Shen Ye."

"Shen Ye..." Lu Yanci repeated in a low voice on the other end of the phone. Then he said to me, "Your friend is here, so you can chat first. Remember, we will always be a family."

"Elder Brother, thank you. Don't worry, I will take care of everything." I said.

Lu Yanci sighed softly: "Since you want to solve it yourself, I will let Assistant Lin go back today. Lu Group will cooperate with any decision you make."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Ruyue pulled me into her car.

I looked through the information she brought in the car and sighed: "I didn't expect Shen Ye to get these things."

"He seized this point and questioned the legitimacy of your participation in Lu Group's project. He wants to take advantage of Lu Group's shareholders' meeting to pull you down. No wonder he has been in contact with a few shareholders of Lu Group during this period. This man is really lowly. He keeps saying how much he loves you, but he doesn't do anything humane."

Qin Ruyue asked, "But you... are really not the daughter of the Lu Family?"

"Didn't you ask me before why I didn’t mercilessly push Shen Ye to the edge?" I said softly, "Let me tell you a story."

I started from how Father Lu took a fancy to my mom, how my mom escaped with the help of Auntie Lin, and was found by Father Lu because of the robbery.

My biological mother was injured in the brain during the robbery. Sometimes, she was in a muddle and sometimes she was clear-minded.

At first, I thought I was the illegitimate daughter of Father Lu and no one in the Lu Family mentioned it.

Father Lu did it out of guilt as well as wanted to use me to control my biological mother.

Auntie Lin did it out of sympathy. Although she came from a major household, she couldn't decide her own life like my mom. She could only obey the arrangements of her family, give up her artistic pursuits, and marry Father Lu.

As for my elder brother, I remembered the first time I saw him. Maybe he was just pestered by me and there was nothing he could do.

But no matter what, I really felt that I had a family at that time.

I said, "It may sound a bit conscienceless to say this, because my mom is actually a very good mother."

Although she had a hard time taking care of me because she had to avoid the Lu Family, she did give me a childhood full of love.

"But a poor single mother who is pregnant before marriage will inevitably face some difficulties and malice in this society."

I was seven years old that year, just starting elementary school, and could already understand the gap in the world.

At that time, the parents of a classmate in the class were the managers of the only chain supermarket in the town. His parents enrolled him in English cram school when he was in kindergarten.

"At that time, I thought it was great that he could say a few simple sentences in English."

Even when he invited us to his house for his birthday party, it was my first time taking the elevator.

I was so nervous that I had to prepare myself mentally to press the elevator button. I felt that the classmate's action of pressing the floor so casually was full of aura.

"But later I went to the Lu Family, got the best foreign teachers and could stay abroad for a long time every year. In just two years, I could communicate with people in not only English, but also French. I could speak many words even though I didn't know them at all.

"At that time, I understood that there are many things in this world that poor people can't do, not because they don't work hard enough.

"Especially on my tenth birthday, Father Lu bought a yacht in my name and held a birthday party for me on it.

"At that party, I was the only owner and could control everything on the yacht. That was the first time I felt what power was so accurately.

"I also have a deeper understanding of how life would be limited by being born at the bottom because of the lack of material and environment and couldn't afford the cost of trial and error.

"I didn't want to go back to the original environment anymore."

I stopped and continued after a long pause, "Like this, I caused my mom to die."

Qin Ruyue was stunned, not knowing what to say.

I just continued to tell that story.

After my mom was taken back to the Lu Family, she lived in the villa and had special medical care.

Chapter 7

My mom lost her first child because of this incident.

Later, she took advantage of Father Lu going abroad for a business trip and escaped from the villa with the help of Auntie Lin.

She gave birth to me in a small town and lived with me there until I was eight years old when her case of home robbery was reported in the news.

"How is it? Do you like it?" Auntie Lin clipped up a piece of beef for me.

"En." I nodded, but couldn't help saying, "Auntie Lin, I'm sorry."

"It's good that you can come back. It's all in the past." She said.

"Auntie Lin..."

"Come, try this soup."

Auntie Lin personally served me a bowl of thick soup. However, Lu Yanci frowned and reminded: "Mom, Wenwen doesn't eat mushrooms."

"Ah, really?" Auntie Lin smiled meaningfully, put down the soup, and winked at me, "It’s still your elder brother who pays attention."

I didn't dare to answer, just looked at Lu Yanci.

Lu Yanci sighed helplessly and turned to the housekeeper beside him, "Auntie Zhao, ask the kitchen to bake a pineapple pie and send it to the second miss's room later."

"Oh right, our Wenwen loved to eat this when she was little." Auntie Lin said.

"Thank you, Elder Brother." I whispered.

"En." Lu Yanci hummed without changing his expression.

Auntie Lin and I both grinned.

After the meal, I returned to my room. The set up of the room was still the same as before.

I opened the drawer of the desk. There was still the homework I did and the things I used in the past.

It was dust-free, obviously someone had been cleaning it.

"Wenwen."

Auntie Lin knocked on the door and came in. After taking in my room, she put the pineapple pie on the desk and looked at my old award certificate and said, "If your mom knew that you are now in B University, she would be overjoyed."

"Auntie Lin, I'm sorry about what happened back then." I apologized again for faking my death, leaving the Lu Family, and deceiving her and Lu Yanci.

"I don't blame you. You were still a child at that time. It's normal that you can't accept so many things that happened at once." She said, "But I heard that Ah Yan wants you to work on the company's new project. Although I don't manage the business matters, if you want to do scientific research like your mother, I will tell Ah Yan and you can just go back to school and study."

"It’s fine. This project is supposed to cooperate with our school's Microelectronics Research Institute. My tutor will also participate. I will just learn from it. It won't affect my studies." I explained.

"That's good. Ah Yan also told me about your Aunt Jiang's daughter. We support you no matter what you want to plan." Auntie Lin said, "This may also be fate. This aunt has the same surname as your mother, Jiang."

"Thank you, Auntie Lin."

"Silly child." Auntie Lin rubbed my head and reminded me just like back then, "After eating the pie, brush your teeth well and go to bed early."

"Okay, I know, Auntie Lin. You should go to bed early too."

The next day, after arranging Xiao Yue, I bought a plane ticket for Anan and got her to return to Beijing. Then I went back to school to cancel the leave with the tutor.

When I came out of the laboratory, I happened to meet Shen Ye, who might be waiting for me.

But I didn't give him a chance to get close to me. I got into the Lu Family's car and left the scene.

We didn't meet again until a cocktail party a few days later.

"Zhizhi."

When I came out to get some fresh air, he pulled me aside and asked, "Why didn't you tell me that you are the second miss of the Lu Family?"

"Is it important?" I retorted, "Or do you want to say that if you had known that I’m from the Lu Family, you wouldn't have done those disgusting things?"

Shen Ye's expression was slightly stiff, but he still said, "That's not what I meant. What I have been doing is because I don't want to lose you."

"So what? What does Mr. Shen want to do now?" I said coldly.

"Zhizhi, if you are willing to believe me again, I promise you that as soon as the project between Shen and Qin is over, I will break off the engagement with Qin Ruyue. Then..."

"Is your marriage a great gift? Shen Ye, do you take yourself too seriously?" I interrupted him.

"Zhizhi, I really hope you can give me another chance."

"Really?" I asked back.

Shen Ye said sincerely, "Zhizhi, I really love you."

"Okay, you leave everything in the Shen Family and go to Hong Kong, I will support you in the future. If you agree, I will give you another chance."

Shen Ye was stunned. Dissatisfaction immediately covered his face.

I sneered, "What? Not willing? Mr. Shen doesn't like this kind of life of a pampered canary?"

"Zhizhi!" Shen Ye's voice carried a slight tinge of anger.

"Wenwen, Ah Ye, what are you talking about?" At this time, Qin Ruyue came over with champagne.

I smiled and replied, "Nothing, Mr. Shen wants to go to Hong Kong."

Qin Ruyue curled her lips and looked at Shen Ye: "Really? I don't have much time to accompany you."

"It’s fine." Shen Ye smiled at her and left on the pretext of meeting a regular client.

After Shen Ye left, Qin Ruyue looked at me: "This game is not interesting. Are you interested in sitting with me?"

"Sure."

In Qin Ruyue's large flat.

"Did you hear what Shen Ye said just now?" I asked Qin Ruyue while leaning against the leather sofa.

Qin Ruyue didn’t deny it and just smiled, "It's still unknown who will dump whom first."

"That's right." I agreed.

She looked at me and sighed: "But I didn't expect that someone like Lu Yanci would actually let you go just like that after you faked your death to deceive him."

"You don't understand." I said.

"I certainly don't understand." She said, "Don't talk about me and my illegitimate brothers. My maternal cousin brothers with the same mother are scheming against each other for profit and wishing to kill each other. Lu Yanci can tolerate your return to the Lu Family to share a piece of the pie."

I smiled and asked, "By the way, have your elder cousin brother and Shen Ye taken any actions recently?"

"It's mainly a cooperative project between the two families. However, my elder cousin brother has been meeting experts in new energy recently. I don't know if it has anything to do with Shen Group."

Chapter 6

"Can you place your bets with confidence now?" I said.

"I have dealt with the neighbors in your community, Shen Ye's colleagues, and the owner of the private restaurant. Shen Ye's amnesia is related to the internal struggle of the Shen Family. The Shen Family will not let these dirty things be exposed to the public. This matter is over."

Qin Ruyue said, "But I am worried about another thing. Since you made such a big stir this time. The Lu Family won't fail to notice. Aren't you afraid of Lu Yanci?"

"If you are worried about this, you can take a look at the latest statement on the Lu Family's official website first." I smiled.

"The Lu Family actually directly recognized your identity as the second miss and got you to take charge of Lu's new project? The new project of the Lu Family is the chip cooperation project that Shen's family has been striving for..."

She froze before abruptly looking at me, "You used me? Messing up Shen Ye's project press conference’s real purpose was to help Lu Group get this chip project!"

"How can you say that?" I laughed, "Shen Ye wanted to take advantage of the press conference of the marriage cooperation between Shen and Qin to win the chip cooperation project. While I want to return to the Lu Family and need proof of allegiance. You also know that Lu Yanci and I aren’t born from the same mother after all."

"Now that Lu Group has got the project, your own brand is very popular, and you took advantage of the clarification to get the operating rights of the Qin Family hotel line from your elder cousin brother. Now I have returned to the Lu Family, you have the support of me and the Lu Family. You don't have to worry about your elder cousin brother and Shen Ye joining forces. This matter can be said to be a win-win situation."

My expression was relaxed.

"No wonder even the Shen Family couldn't control the fermentation of public opinion at the beginning. It turns out that you have already established contact with the Lu Family. Yes, without the support of the Lu Family, how could public opinion be so big without leaking any other information?" Qin Ruyue sighed for a long time before grinning, "It seems that I have chosen the right side."

"Thank you." I said seriously, "This matter would be much more difficult without your help."

Qin Ruyue looked at me.

"Forget it. If it weren't for you, who knows what kind of life my mother and I are living in the Qin Family now. Besides, you are right. Mrs. Shen isn’t as pleasant as President Qin.

"By the way, it's not convenient for you to live in your original community. I have asked someone to send your younger sister to my hotel. With your current situation, you should go back to the Lu Family first, right?" Qin Ruyue asked.

"Yes. So I need to trouble you to look after my younger sister for a few more days. I will ask someone to pick her up in two days." I said.

"Okay, happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation."

The vehicle passed through Lu Garden and stopped at the gate of the Lu Family's old house.

"Second Miss, Madam and Young Master are in the greenhouse." The housekeeper told me.

"Okay." I gave a slight nod.

When I arrived at the greenhouse, Lu Yanci was sitting at a small round table reading the financial report, while Mother Lu was pruning the branches.

I took a deep breath and stepped forward: "Auntie Lin, Elder Brother."

"You’re back." Auntie Lin put down the scissors, turned around, and looked at me with a smile before glancing at Lu Yanci beside her, "I asked someone to airlift the lobster. The previous chef has changed. I don't know if it will suit your taste now. I'll go and take a look."

"Thank you, Auntie Lin." I said.

Auntie Lin winked at me: "It's okay. Your elder brother is not angry with you."

"Okay." I nodded slightly.

After Auntie Lin left, I lowered my head and walked to Lu Yanci: "Elder Brother."

Lu Yanci lifted his eyelids and looked at me: "Where is the plan?"

I quickly took out my mobile phone and sent the plan that I had rushed to produce in the mountains these days to his email.

Lu Yanci clicked it and lowered his gaze. His long black eyelashes blocked his eyes. The atmosphere was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

After a long while, he spoke: "I won't step forward for the new project. If you can't do it well, I will replace you."

"I understand." I immediately expressed my stance.

The atmosphere returned to its previous quiet state. I lowered my eyes and stared at the edge of the glass table. I didn't dare to speak or leave.

"Why didn't you come back when Dad died?"

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yanci's clear voice suddenly sounded. I raised my head and met his eyes hidden behind his gold-rimmed glasses.

"Actually, I did come back to see Dad on the day of his funeral." I replied.

He stared into my eyes quietly. His dark eyes surging with an indescribable emotion. After a while, he opened his lips, took a breath, and stood up, "Let's go to the dining hall."

I nodded and followed him.

Just like when I first arrived at the Lu Family.

At that time, the news of my mother being robbed was seen by Father Lu.

My mom was transferred to a hospital under the Lu Family and I was taken back to the Lu Family by Father Lu.

At that time, I thought I was Father Lu's illegitimate daughter, just like everyone else.

This made me dare not ask anyone in the Lu Family. If I wanted to know about my mother's situation, I could only stare blankly in the direction of the gate of Lu Garden.

In the end, I noticed Lu Yanci was paying attention to my eyes. As long as Lu Yanci was at the Lu Villa, I followed him, not far or close. I didn’t make a sound, just following him.

Until he took the initiative to ask the driver to take me to the hospital.

My biological mother was the first student in their small county middle school to be admitted to B University.

When Father Lu was young, he fell in love with my mother at first sight at the alumni meeting of B University.

But that was not the beginning of a romance.

My mother was born in a family that favored boys over girls.

She was able to go to college entirely with the help of her high school class teacher. Only like this, she wasn’t ‘married off’ by her parents in exchange for a dowry after graduating from junior high school.

But not long after she finished the college entrance examination, her teacher died of pancreatic cancer.

After she was admitted to college, her whole heart was on doing scientific research and studying anti-cancer drugs. She didn’t want to fall in love at all.

She even looked down on Father Lu's dandiness.

But so what?

As long as they had money, my mother's parents would force her to drop out of school and send her to Father Lu's bed.

My mother had accepted her fate. But when she was pregnant with her first child, Father Lu had an arranged marriage with the Lin Family.

Give me the blazing sun 5

 Chapter 5

Then more marketing accounts released photos of Shen Ye taking me to a high-end restaurant to celebrate my birthday when he lost his memory.

At the same time, someone ‘exposed’ that I was the blogger Ninth Bamboo and also released a screenshot of me showing off my earrings on WeChat Moments.

In the comment section, someone quickly recognized that the earrings I was wearing were a new release from Qin Ruyue's jewelry brand R.W "Lingyue" series.

[No way, using earrings designed by your fiancée to please a mistress? Rich people really know how to play. ]

[Is President Shen blind? Your fiancée is a heiress as well as a designer. Rich, pretty, and talented! And you still want to find a mistress? Just because of the mistress's face? ]

[To be honest, Ninth Bamboo's looks and academic qualifications are quite good. ]

[Could it be a misunderstanding? Ninth Bamboo has been doing charity work to help poor girls in mountainous areas for many years. Last month, she donated sanitary napkins to a few mountain middle schools. She doesn't seem like someone who would be a mistress. ]

[Character setting! Don't Internet celebrities and bloggers’ buses often overturn? ]

[However, the earrings designed by the eldest miss are really beautiful. ]

...After this, public opinions fermented.

This press conference, which was facilitated by the marriage between Shen and Qin, was hosted by Shen Ye. It was also the first time that Shen Ye publicly led a project. The final interview session completely turned into a gossip press conference.

Qin Ruyue specially video called when I was watching the stars on the mountain.

"Lu Yuwen, are you crazy? Playing this big?" Her voice carried a tinge of anxiousness.

But I still spoke in my usual tone. Feeling the night wind blow, I watched the jumping flames and replied: "Congratulations, R.W is on the hot search. I saw that the Lingyue series is sold out online. The sales in the stores shouldn’t be bad either. Now the whole country knows your jewelry brand."

"You know that's not what I want to say." She said, "Do you know how much impact this press conference will have on the cooperation project between Qin and Shen?"

"I know, but what does it have to do with you?" I said, "The person leading the project is Shen Ye and the project leader on the Qin side is your elder cousin brother, Qin Jinghui. You are just a tool for their exchange of interests."

"But it's different now. The person who messed up the press conference is Shen Ye, while the one who suffered the loss is your elder cousin brother. Only you, the fiancée, can clean up this mess. After all, at this juncture, if there is turbulence between the marriage between the two families, the shareholders of Qin Group and Shen Group will not be able to sit still. "

"You want me to use this incident to negotiate with the Qin and Shen families?" Qin Ruyue was a little surprised, "Do you know what will happen to you if I stand up to clarify for Shen Ye at this time? With the public relations ability of the Shen and Qin families, all your current life may be ruined by then."

"Ah..." Though I sighed, my tone was much softer, "In fact, when I saw you secretly putting sanitary napkins in the drawer of the poor students, I also wondered if you deliberately acted for me to see because you knew that my mother and I had lived at the bottom of society and wanted to use me to get rid of the bullying of your cousins. But now it seems that it doesn't matter."

"Ah?" Qin Ruyue was stunned for a moment.

"I just want to say that the charity work you have done over the years is not in vain." I didn't say anything more and only said, "When clarifying, I don't have to be the villain in the story."

I sent her the materials I prepared, "A brand can be popular for a while with scandals, but to make people remember it for a long time, it must have a good brand story."

"Building a brand is true and the matters are true. Since things have come to this point, there is no point in retreating. Why don't we tell a good story together."

Qin Ruyue looked at the photos I sent her and then picked up her phone to compare them. She found that the clothes and makeup I wore when I went to see her that day were exactly the same as the day Shen Ye accompanied me on my birthday a year ago.

"Did you think of this move today? Lu Yuwen, you are really..."

Qin Ruyue's tone displayed her complicated emotion, but in the end she uttered, "Forget it, Shen Ye has been looking for you everywhere these two days. You stay there first. Once I settle everything here, I will pick you up in person. You don't need to worry about your younger sister Jiang Yue."

"Okay, then thank you." I said.

Qin Ruyue stepped out to clarify, saying that everything was a misunderstanding by the media, and that she and I have been friends for many years.

At the same time, I also used Ninth Bamboo's account to release the first video which showed my face.

"I have been meditating in the mountains for a while, so I didn't pay attention to what happened online. Unforeseen, such an outrageous rumor to spread."

"My fans know that I have done a lot of charity over the years. But in fact, what has been supporting me behind the scenes all these years, in addition to my own video income, is Miss Qin Ruyue's private charity fund."

As I said this, I took out the records of Qin Ruyue's foundation transferring money to me over the years, as well as the detailed bills of my charity expenditures over the years.

Of course, this matter was originally just a coincidence.

Before I met Qin Ruyue again, I didn’t know that the one who provided the fund to the foundation I applied for the poor girls in the mountainous areas over the years was actually Qin Ruyue.

I initially chose to help the girls of the fishing village middle school apply for this foundation simply because the review and fund disbursement of this fund were the fastest.

But since it happened, of course I had to make good use of the value of this matter.

"Like Miss Qin said, she and I are good friends in private."

"As for the photo of me and Mr. Shen."

I released a photo of me and Qin Ruyue.

"Actually, Miss Qin was also there to celebrate my birthday. My earrings were given by Miss Qin Ruyue."

...

"Graft one twig on another. Use a photo from a year ago to create a topic and use a photo from a year later to calm public opinion. And also use the charity work you did before to play an emotional card for my brand."

In the car that took me back, Qin Ruyue sighed, "This is truly the handiwork of you, Lu Yuwen."

Give me the blazing sun 4

Chapter 4

I picked up an earring, looked at the nearby decorative mirror, and said as I put it on: "Very beautiful. It has your personal style. A pity that it’s suppressed by the Qin HQ. And the brand lacks an event that can be remembered by the public."

"Heh." Qin Ruyue chuckled, picked up the other one, and put it on me personally, "It seems that you did your homework before coming here. Never fighting an unprepared battle. This is your style."

Although Qin Ruyue was the only daughter of the Qin Family's first branch, her father died early. Old Master Qin favored boys over girls.

Not to mention second branch’s brothers, in the eyes of old Master Qin, she wasn’t even as good as the illegitimate children left by her father.

It wasn’t easy for her to gain a foothold in the Qin Family. How could those people in the Qin Family really give her the opportunity to show her ability?

I didn't answer her, but instead picked up the phone: "Anyway, you told me that you wanted to have your own brand back then. Now your dream is considered to come true. It's worth taking a photo together to commemorate it."

"You?" Qin Ruyue looked at me inquiringly, but did not refuse my request.

I pushed my specially curled long hair behind my ears, revealing the earrings on my ears, and then leaned slightly to Qin Ruyue.

Qin Ruyue glanced at the photos I took.

The big wavy curly hair and the simple pure black high-necked knitted dress made the earrings on my ears a highlight in the picture as well as not too eye-catching.

"Maybe I should ask you to be a model." She sighed and said directly, "I don't want to beat around the bush with you. If you are still the Lu Yuwen of the past, I would of course choose to help you. But now is different from the past. Lu Yanci has the final say in the Lu Family. Given your relationship with Lu Yanci, will the Lu Family still recognize you as the second miss..."

Qin Ruyue shook her head.

"So what are your conditions?" I asked her.

Qin Ruyue raised her eyebrows and deliberately made a puzzled expression.

I smiled and said, "With your personality, for you to agree to Shen Ye to send me to Hong Kong to be cared for, you were waiting for me to come to you?"

She had been bullied by her father's illegitimate son all her life. How could she allow her fiancé to do this outside?

"How boring. You saw through it so quickly." She said, "In this case, I'll get to the point."

"When I was bullied by my father's illegitimate son and the second branch, you took the initiative to lend a hand to me."

"It was because you, the second miss of the Lu Family, are willing to be my "friend" that I had the opportunity to express myself in front of my grandfather and escape from the bullying. But as you said back then, you only gave me one semester's chance. Whether I can use the identity of being a friend of the second miss of the Lu Family to gain a foothold in the Qin Family is my own business."

"It's the same now. Because of the past, I can take a gamble. However, you must first show me the value of this gamble."

Qin Ruyue stared at me.

"En." I nodded, "That's fair."

"But I don't understand. Back then, you would rather lie to Lu Yanci and fake your death to leave the Lu Family. Now, just because Shen Ye wants to send you to Hong Kong, you want to expose yourself?" Qin Ruyue asked.

I didn't explain, but just showed her the photo that Shen Ye sent me.

"He threatened you? He dared to threaten a Lu Family!" Qin Ruyue laughed, "This Shen Ye, if he died in your hands one day, he wouldn’t be wronged at all."

“This isn’t important. What's important is that this week’s press conference for Shen's and Qin's new project will definitely be exciting." I stood up, picked up the canvas bag on the table, and gently flicked the tassels on the earrings with my finger, "When the time comes, President Qin, don't forget to give me the commission for marketing the goods."

"President Qin..."

I heard Qin Ruyue chuckling and repeated the two words behind me.

When I got home and opened the door, I found that the pen lead hidden in the door lock was broken.

I sneered, went into the house, and took a look at the layout of the house. Soon, I found the place that had been moved.

When I left the Lu Family, I was afraid of getting discovered by Lu Family every day. Want to monitor me with this small trick?

I found a place, pulled out the WeChat account, and posted a moment first.

I used a photo of Qin Ruyue and me, but cut out Qin Ruyue.

Caption: [I received the earrings from ##BB/##baby, love them so much! ]

Someone immediately responded below:

[Oh my god, what's going on. Great Ninth Bamboo actually showed up! ]

[My god, what a pretty lady! ]

[Is this Yu's private restaurant in Dongmen? ]

[These earrings are so beautiful. Your boyfriend gifted them? ]

…

I glanced at the message and chatted with Anan while removing my makeup.

"Zhizhi, I'm sorry. When I returned to my hometown, Xiao Yue had already been picked up by someone." Anan was anxious and blamed herself, "I should have returned earlier..."

Me: "Anan, Shen Ye relies on his power to do whatever he wants. It's not your fault. During this time, you should stay in your hometown and take care of yourself. No matter what news there is on my side, don't worry about it."

"Zhizhi, you won't really give up your studies and go to Hong Kong for Xiao Yue and me, right? If that happens, Aunt Jiang won't be at ease..." Anan said.

"Don't think about it." I looked at the painting on the shelf behind me in the mirror and replied, "Just trust me."

After hanging up the voice chat, I walked to the shelf, opened the picture frame, and took out the hidden camera from it.

At the same time, I received a text message from an unknown number: [I did it for your safety. ]

I looked at the camera and said, "Shen Ye, you threatened, monitor, and control me. And you still say it’s for my sake. Don't you feel disgusted?"

After that, I threw the camera into the trash can.

Of course I knew that the person who installed the camera was Shen Ye, but I also knew that such a piece of information from an unknown source can’t prove anything.

Now wasn’t the time to let these things affect the next plan.

I took a deep breath, laid down on the bed, and looked at the ceiling in silence.

I remembered that many years ago, my biological mother jumped off the roof of Lu's Villa...

The news of the intimate birthday celebration of a certain female became a hot search.

Give me the blazing sun 3

Chapter 3

"Damn it, what did Shen Ye mean by that just now? It can’t be that he wants to use force, does he?"

After closing the stall and coming back, Anan belatedly realized it.

I nodded silently.

Shen Ye certainly meant that.

"Damn, are these overbearing presidents sick and don't understand human language? Do they have to express love in this way?" Anan berated.

"Anan, don't glorify the oppression of power as love." I said in a light tone, "It's not that he doesn't understand what people say, but his current power allows him not to understand."

The essence of many things in this world was nothing but power.

Why did many people who commit domestic violence dare not vent their violence outside?

Why did so many criminals choose to attack weak women and children?

Because they knew better than anyone who is a powerless weakling to them.

And now I was that weakling to Shen Ye.

As long as he used the power in his hands a little, he could easily destroy everything I have and force me into a situation where I couldn't retreat.

Qin Ruyue had a strong family background, so even if he didn't like Qin Ruyue, he would still put down his air and negotiate with her and use the exchange of interests to achieve his goal.

And in his eyes, I was just an orphan with no one to rely on. So even when he kept saying that he loved me, he could easily force me.

"Then Zhizhi, what are you going to do in the future? What if Shen Ye, this idiot, really does something and forces you to stop studying..." Anan shuddered and asked, "Should we call the police first?"

I looked at the recording on my phone and shook my head: "Without substantial evidence, it's useless to call the police."

What's more, if someone like Shen Ye wanted to do something, there were many people who could help him handle it cleanly and without leaks.

"Then what should we do?" Anan's face was full of worry.

"Don't worry." I patted her hand soothingly, "I'll take care of it."

"Do you have a solution?" Anan's eyes lit up.

I nodded.

"As expected of Zhizhi!"

Anan hugged me, having with no doubt:

"To be honest, Zhizhi, sometimes I feel that you are like the heiress who has fallen into poverty in TV dramas.

"You have been different from us since you were little. Even working part-time seems like experiencing life..."

Anan talked about the past in a rambling way and got closer to me in the end, "By the way, what are you going to do? Make a plan like in those satisfying revenge novels and give him a little shock of the revenge heroine?"

Looking at her clear big eyes, I smiled and signaled that the dormitory was about to close and it was time to go back.

She looked at the time and quickly packed up and left.

I stood in front of the window and watched her ride the electric scooter out of the community. I picked up my phone, saw the photo of Li Anan and my sister Jiang Yue sent to me by Shen Ye, and called Shen Ye.

"Shen Ye, what do you mean? Are you threatening me with Anan and Xiao Yue?" I asked.

He replied, "Zhizhi, you know I care about you. Qin Ruyue and I are just in a business marriage. You are the only one I love. I don't want to give up our relationship."

"So you use your power to trample on my life and dignity for your so-called love?"

I laughed out loud in anger, "Shen Ye, you chose to return to the Shen Family and business marriage. I don't blame you, nor do I regret saving you and dating you.

"Love loses to interests. It's not a new thing in this world. As an adult, you make your own choices and should bear the consequences. Want both? Don't you think you are too greedy?"

"Zhizhi, I know you can't accept it for a moment." Shen Ye said, "But think about it, what's wrong with going to Hong Kong?

"If you want to study further, I can help you find the best tutor. You don't have to study and work like you do now and live so hard. Except for marriage, I can give you everything. After working hard to study for a master's degree and a doctorate, you may not be able to live such a life in the future."

"Hehe, this is the first time I hear someone make being a canary so fresh and refined." I sneered, "So Shen Ye, you really don't plan to let me go, right?"

"Zhizhi, I’m doing this for our future..."

I didn't listen to him finish and hung up the phone at once.

There were indeed not so many satisfying stories with big heroines in this world.

But reality wasn’t a one-on-one chess game.

Since a third party was involved, it was unknown who was stronger and weaker.

I took a deep breath and dialed a number.

"I knew you would call." Qin Ruyue's voice sounded on the other end of the phone.

"I've always wondered who Jiang Zhi is. At the age of 17, you are able to quickly earn 300,000 yuan to treat an adoptive aunt, but now you are willing to work in a small convenience store to earn a living. I didn't expect it to be you, Lu Yuwen."

In the restaurant's private room.

I sat on the leather chair and took a sip from the teacup in front of me: "I haven't had such good black tea for a long time."

Qin Ruyue sat opposite me, glanced at the birthday card on the table, and smiled: "If you had told me earlier that your birthday is today, I could have treated you to better tea."

"Actually, the service in this restaurant is pretty good, especially suitable for celebrating birthdays. The store's photography skills are quite good. The photos taken are very atmospheric."

I put down the teacup, looked around the layout of the store, and smiled, "Shen Ye brought me to this box a year ago. At that time, in order to bring me here for a birthday, he worked odd jobs as a deliveryman to save money for two months, and ordered this birthday set meal, but now... Do you think people's hearts are very fickle?"

"You met me here, not to tell me this, right?" Qin Ruyue said.

I raised my eyebrows, took out a jewelry box from my bag, opened it, and put it on the table.

Inside was a new tassel earring from the ‘Lingyue’ series of Qin Ruyue's jewelry brand R.W.

Give me the blazing sun 2

Chapter 2

"In conclusion, the root of your problem now is not me. But you all choose to force me, just because it is the least costly option among all the options.

"After all these years, your circle is still playing the same game."

On the surface, it was all about feelings, but in fact, it was all about weighing the pros and cons.

I sighed, simply opened the car door, got out of the car, turned around, and bent in to look at Qin Ruyue in the car:

"Qin Ruyue, I saved Shen Ye because I’m kind-hearted and have good character. Shen Ye cheated on me and pestered me. It’s him repaying favor with revenge. Are you sure you want to spend the rest of your life with such a person? Besides, is marrying into the Shen Family and being a pampered Mrs. Shen what you want?"

Qin Ruyue frowned slightly. When her eyes swept over the scar on the back of my hand that was resting on the back of the chair, a trace of confusion flashed across her face: "You are..."

But I didn't give her time to reminisce. I smiled at her, crossed the road, and pulled Shen Ye out of the RLX.

The stage was returned to them.

At this time, my best friend Li Anan happened to ride a small electric scooter to pick me up after getting off work.

Seeing Shen Ye and Qin Ruyue standing in front of the car, she quickly pulled me onto the electric scooter, turned the handle to the max, and fled the scene at high speed.

Shen Ye looked at the direction I left, then looked at Qin Ruyue in front of him, and finally chose to stay.

"Did Shen Ye chase us?"

After the electric scooter drove into the community, Li Anan stopped the vehicle and looked back.

"He won't. After all, his legitimate fiancée is still there." I replied in a flat tone.

In that case, as long as he still cared about the marriage between the Shen and Qin families, he must first give an explanation to his legitimate fiancée.

Li Anan glanced at my expression and understood it instantly. She immediately expressed in indignation: "Damn, he has the nerve to come downstairs every day to show his affection. Fudge, it turns out that he wants to eat what's in the pot and take what's in the bowl! How shameless!"

I didn't respond, because Anan was right, Shen Ye was shameless.

"Then you are okay?" Li Anan asked with concern, "After all, in the past, you treated him..."

I smiled faintly: "I'm fine."

"If you had known he was such a scumbag, you should have left him at the door of the police station and left him alone! And you had rented a house just to take care of him."

When she reached my door, Anan couldn't help but fumed this out.

When I picked up Shen Ye, my first reaction was not to cause trouble and send him to the police station.

But perhaps because the identity of the Shen Family’s heir was kept secret too well, the police station couldn't find any clues for a while.

And Shen Yu had lost his memory and refused to let others approach him. He was only willing to follow me.

Thinking of my experience of being picked up by Aunt Jiang, I finally softened my heart and brought him back.

I also rented a place here with the money I saved from working.

In order to get a better deal, I paid two years' rent at once.

There were still three months of rent left.

In the evening, we went to the overpass to set up a stall.

Before we went out, Anan reminded me not to forget to take medicine.

During the period when Shen Ye just disappeared, I went to the police station to ask for information when I didn’t have classes and went to the place where he had an accident to look for him on weekends.

While at night, I couldn’t sleep all night. Not only did I lose more than 20 pounds, but my stomach end up having some problems.

Now I thought it was a bit laughable. I have been calculating people since I was a child, but I fell for Shen Ye’s ‘innocence’ when he lost his memory.

When we went downstairs, we encountered Shen Ye in the corridor.

I could roughly guess what he wanted to say. Finding it meaningless, I bypassed him with Anan.

But he reached out and grabbed my arm: "Zhizhi."

"Mr. Shen, please have some respect."

I looked back, my eyes were as cold as ice.

He looked a little stunned from it, as if he had not expected that I, who was always good-tempered, could have such a fierce side.

Still, he did not let go of my hand. Instead, he held it tighter.

"I have already made an agreement with Qin Ruyue that I will send you to Hong Kong. As long as you are not in Beijing, she will not bother you again."

"Shen Ye, do you know what you are saying? You want me to give up my studies and go to Hong Kong to be your mistress who is not allowed to see the light of day." I stood there, staring into his eyes.

Even if I knew how to control my emotions, I still felt an irrepressible rage in my heart at this moment.

"Zhizhi, don't talk like that." He said.

"Scram if you don't like to hear it." I clenched my palms, thinking back to the one and a half years I spent with him and my fingertips were shaking with anger.

Unexpectedly, he started to feel aggrieved: "Zhizhi, we have been through so much together. I know you have feelings for me. Don't throw tantrums like this."

I gritted my teeth and was about to speak, but Li Anan beside me could no longer endure it.

She threw the snakeskin bag she was using to sell food on the ground, pointed at Shen Ye's nose, and started to berate:

"Shen Ye, f*** you, you have the nerve to talk about love with Zhizhi! During the time you were missing, Zhizhi was so worried about you that her stomach was damaged and she lost a lot of weight.

"What the hell are you doing? Aren’t you getting engaged to the eldest miss of the Qin Family! A scumbag like you is not qualified to talk about love. Stop being disgusting!

"You still want Zhizhi to give up her studies and go to Hong Kong. Do you know how much Zhizhi has paid to go to B University?

"You know she is studying for a master's and a doctorate degree. Giving up now means all these years of study are in vain. You are going to ruin her years of hard work with just a few words? You stinky idiot!"

"Li Anan!" Shen Ye warned.

I blocked in front of Anan and looked directly at Shen Ye: "Shen Ye, I won't go to Hong Kong. Don't appear in my life anymore. Don't play your circle’s tricks of keeping a mistress in front of me. I feel disgusted."

But Shen Ye said: "Zhizhi, if you want to study, I can arrange the best school for you. If you go to Hong Kong, you can live a life that is countless times better than this."

Give me the blazing sun 1

 Chapter 1

One month after boyfriend’s sudden disappearance, his wealthy fiancée came knocking out of the blue.

She glanced around the convenience store where I worked and sneered softly.

"Not that great. It seems that Ah Ye's standards have dropped a lot during this period of amnesia."

After a pause, I took out the QR code: "Fiancée, right? Perfect, please pay me the medical bills your fiancé owes me."

"Miss Jiang should understand that social rank is not something that can be overcome by the so-called true love of ordinary people like you."

A bottle of filtered water was placed on the cash register in front of me.

Looking up, I saw the face of Qin Ruyue, the eldest daughter of the Qin Group.

It had been more than half a month since she last came to the convenience store to find me.

I know why she came this time.

- Last time she revealed that Shen Ye was the missing heir of the Shen Family. After Shen Ye knew it, he came to my rental house every day to "stand guard" and had been standing for almost a week.

As Shen Ye's fiancée and with her temper, she naturally couldn't sit still.

But I wasn't interested in being part of their rich marriage episode.

"A total of 7 yuan, would you like to scan the code or pay in cash?"

I raised my professional smile.

After a slight pause, she raised her phone.

I swiftly scanned the code: "Thank you for your patronage."

"As a third party, Miss Jiang's demeanor is really ‘admirable’."

Qin Ruyue had suddenly said it in a voice that was neither high nor low but loud enough for everyone to hear.

The customers present looked at me with gossipy eyes.

I smiled calmly.

"Whether I am a third party or a victim, Miss Qin knows better than anyone else. If Miss Qin wants to argue about this matter here, I don't mind telling it from beginning to end."

Not to mention that Shen Ye returned to the Shen Family and got engaged to Qin Ruyue after he "disappeared".

Now it was Shen Ye who was unilaterally harassing me. No matter what, I couldn’t be accused of being a third party.

What's more... I looked up and glanced at the customer behind who was secretly snapping pics with the mobile phone.

Qin Ruyue followed my gaze, paused, whispered a few words to the assistant beside her, and then said to me: "Let's go out and talk."

"Sorry, it's my working time now."

I glanced at the customer behind, motioned her to bring the things over, and said to Qin Ruyue: "The customer who has paid the bill, please make way, thank you."

Seeing that I was unmoved, Qin Ruyue could only use the usual means of capitalists and went directly to my store manager.

At the same time, her assistant also dealt with the few customers who had secretly snapped pics earlier. 

In the end, the store manager nodded, bowed and stuffed me into her car.

Before that, I noticed a very low-key black RLX parked across the road.

It was Shen Ye's car.

But the person in it didn't seem to have any intention of getting off.

How interesting.

After getting in the car, Qin Ruyue didn't say anything for a long time.

I simply leaned against the backrest of the back seat and closed my eyes to rest.

To be honest, the luxury car was indeed a luxury car. The sitting experience was indeed worthy of its price.

Seeing that I was so calm, Qin Ruyue's hostility towards me finally faltered a little bit.

"Miss Jiang, you are different from what I thought." She said with a sigh.

Her gaze expressed her complicated emotion. Probably because she remembered the last time I asked her for the medical expenses for Shen Ye.

"In Miss Qin's eyes, what should I be like?"

I opened my eyes, turned my head, and looked at her, "Should I be vain? Cling to Shen Ye and dream of marrying into a wealthy family?"

Qin Ruyue didn't say anything, but her face showed an expression of "Shouldn't it be like this?"

I chuckled and looked at Qin Ruyue, "Miss Qin, ordinary people like us have to bow down and apologize when customers are in a bad mood and would give us a bad review or a complaint.

Even though I know you are here with bad intentions, I still got pushed into your car by my superior because of your identity. Why do you think you understand the class gap better than us?"

Qin Ruyue's eyes froze. Her eyebrows slightly pinched, obviously dissatisfied with what I said.

"It is true that there are people in this world who want to cling to the powerful and cross class rank, but we ordinary people are not all fools who don't know our own weight."

I leaned back on the backrest again and stated in a calm tone, "Besides, not everyone desires a life like yours."

"Really?" Her eyes were inquiring and sarcastic, "In that case, why didn't you refuse Shen Ye when he came to you?"

"Since Miss Qin is dissatisfied with Shen Ye coming to me, why didn't you go to Shen Ye, but chose to come to me?"

I closed my eyes and spoke slowly.

"Given the power of the Qin Family, if Miss Qin wants to make Shen Ye bow his head, there are other ways.

"But the threat of interests may affect the cooperation between the Qin and Shen families; using elders to put pressure is easy to affect feelings. The most important thing is that for the sake of interests and feelings, you still want to maintain this marriage and do not want to have a direct conflict with Shen Ye.

"That’s why you chose to solve me among many solutions. Even though you know better than anyone how innocent I am in this whole thing. Isn't it because I am the softest persimmon that is easiest to deal with among all the choices?"

Qin Ruyue was stunned, as if she didn't expect me to reveal her thoughts so bluntly.

But I just raised my hand and knocked on the glass window, drawing her attention to the RLX across the street.

"But unfortunately, I think Shen Ye also thinks so.”

"Miss Qin should know that if Shen Ye really cares about me, he can just tell me the truth and come back to me after properly sorting out the marriage.”

"But it is obvious that he, like you, does not want to give up the benefits of marriage. Basically, wanting to eat in the pot and look at the bowl, he chooses to force me to compromise.”
