âSo, is this why youâve been getting so comfortable with me lately?â
Qin Fu raised his eyebrows. There was a hint of anger in his eyes. He didnât like being used.
Wan Xiaosu had done things this way. How could he not be angry?
Wan Xiaosu bit her lip and did not dare to look at him. She was more afraid now.
She was afraid that Qin Fu would go overboard. She didnât want to push her childhood sweetheart further away.
âNo, itâs not like that. I just wantâ¦â
Qin Fuâs gently pinched her chin and stared into her eyes, his gaze burning. âWhat did you think? Iâll listen to your explanation. If you donât explain it well, the consequences will be very serious.â
âQin Fu, I really have nowhere else to go. I canât lose my father. Weâve just reunited. Can you help me? You saw Madam Baiâs attitude. If you didnât come in time, my fatherâ¦â
Wan Xiaosu did not dare to continue. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes. At that moment, her heart was completely shattered.
She didnât dare to think about it, nor did she dare to say it.
The corners of Qin Fuâs lips curled up slightly. âSo? Youâre beating around the bush. Youâre hoping that I can help you somehow, right? Your thoughts are really obvious, Wan Xiaosu.â
âNo, no, no. Qin Fu, you have someone important to you too, donât you? Would you just let the person who is most important to you die?â Wan Xiaosu hurriedly grabbed his arm, afraid of losing this opportunity.
Once it was lost, there was no other way.
Wan Xiaosu could not lose her father. If she had to kneel before Qin Fu and beg him, she would.
Qin Fuâs eyes were filled with disappointment. âWan Xiaosu, all of this depends on your performance. Your performance will determine whether I want to help or not.â
Actually, if she hadnât said anything, he wouldâve helped her all on his own.
However, he felt different after she had begged him like that. The feeling was indescribableâ¦
Only he knew.
Wan Xiaosu stood up and forced a smile. âI will let you help me.â
âHmph.â Qin Fu snorted and left.
Wan Xiaosu wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes. She could not continue to be weak. She was going to be strong.
Weak people could only rely on others.
She didnât want to be a parasite.
She didnât want to be lowly and pitiful.
Qin Fu went to Song Lianmingâs office. He tugged at his tie in frustration.
Song Lianming was a little curious. âWhatâs wrong with you? Who provoked you? Let it go. You have me. What do you need? Iâll hear you out.â
âDoes it look like I treat Wan Xiaosu poorly?â Qin Fu still couldnât understand why Wan Xiaosu had begged him like that. It was somehow humiliating to Qin Fu.
Did she think he was that petty?
Was he that petty?
Ridiculous!
âYou do have feelings for Wan Xiaosu, but itâs okay! Things have gotten better between you two, havenât they? Whatâs wrong? Are you and Wan Xiaosu quarreling again?â Song Lianmingâs words hit the nail on the head.
Qin Fu didnât say anything. Instead, he picked up the wine in Song Lianmingâs office and started drinking.
Song Lianming was so shocked that he quickly went up to snatch the bottle from him. âBrother, youâre in a bad mood. Donât take it out on my wine. Iâve been saving that. Itâs a waste if you gulp it down like this!â
âArenât you afraid your patients will see this in your office? Iâm doing you a favor.â Qin Fu was really depressed. He couldnât see through Wan Xiaosu, and he couldnât tell if she was acting.
He was so frustrated. Wan Xiaosu was special to him. He thought of no one else the same way.
Something about her drew him to her. It was so strange.
Why Wan Xiaosu?
âBrother, let me see! Youâve fallen in love with her. You look like youâre drinking vinegar, not alcohol.â Those who were involved could not see things clearly. To Song Lianming, it was as clear as day.
Qin Fu frowned. Fallen in love?
Had he fallen in love with Wan Xiaosu?
âImpossible. Why would I love that silly crybaby?â Qin Fu immediately rejected the thought. He felt that Song Lianming was crazy.
Song Lianming shook his head helplessly. It seemed that his brother was doomed to feel the pain of love.
He could really be too confident sometimes. Song Lianming decided to keep his mouth shut.
He didnât want to get slapped.
âWhat do you mean by this? Let me tell you, itâs impossible. Sheâs carrying my child. I wouldnât help her otherwise.â Qin Fu angrily placed the wine back on the table and left in a huff.
Song Lianming picked up the wine bottle. His heart ached. He had spent a lot of money on it!
He drank so quickly and so thoughtlessly. What a waste of good wine.
Millions had gone down the drain.
Wan Xiaosu went to Qin Corporation with freshly made pastries.
The moment she entered, she saw Bai Qiangwei.
The moment Bai Qiangwei saw her, she was also a little stunned. Then, she was angry. âWan Xiaosu, you dare to come here? Why donât you go and die? Youâre the one who should be lying in that hospital. You ruined my family, you jinx.â
âI donât understand what youâre saying.â Wan Xiaosu wanted to go around her. She did not want to talk to Bai Qiangwei.
Bai Qiangwei was so angry that her chest was heaving up and down. She stared at Wan Xiaosu like she wanted to swallow her alive.
She wanted to tear Wan Xiaosu to pieces.
She saw a glimpse of what Wan Xiaosu was holding and reached out to snatch it. âYou vixen, you want to seduce Young Master Qin with these? Women from the countryside are indeed full of tricks. Youâre an excellent schemer, Wan Xiaosu!â
âThis is the Qin Corporation, not the Bai familyâs home. Please show some respect.â Wan Xiaosu held her baked goods protectively. She had expended a lot of effort to make them.
She couldnât let Bai Qiangwei ruin them. Wan Xiaosuâs forbearance in the past did not mean she did not have a temper.
However, Wan Xiaosu did not want to tolerate those people at all. She was done with Bai Qiangwei and Madam Bai.
She wouldnât back down.
âAre you putting on the airs of a young mistress now? Donât forget that I gave you everything you have now. You can only pick up what I throw away, understand?â Bai Qiangwei had been pestering Qin Fu recently because she knew things were changing in the Bai family.
Many things were changing. Bai Qiangwei was not stupid, and she knew what she should do.
She needed to find someone who could protect her.
Qin Fu was the best candidate, and Wan Xiaosu was her biggest obstacle.
