She passed some of the supplements and toys she had bought to Pei Xin.

“I bought these to compensate for Ling Lin’s matter. I hope you can accept them.”

Pei Xin rejected him immediately. “There’s no need. If my child needs anything, 1 will buy it for him as his mother.”

Xu Lian saw that Pei Xin’s attitude was cold and unwilling to accept it, so she did not force it anymore.

“How do you want to punish her?” Lu Huai asked Pei Xin. “As long as it’s what you want, just say it. 1’11 help you.”

Xu Lian turned to look at Lu Huai.

At this moment, she truly realized how much Lu Huai favored Pei Xin.

Xu Lian smiled bitterly, laughing at her naivety.

Pei Xin shook her head. “This matter is already in the past. Since she apologized to me, then let it be.”

Seeing that Pei Xin had no intention of pursuing the matter, Lu Huai left with Xu Lian.

However, after this incident, Xu Ke was also fired from the kindergarten.

Xu Lian had just returned home when her cousin, Xu Ke, came to her house.

“Didn’t you say that Ling Lin is a child with no background? How did he get Lu Huai’s protection?” Xu Ke questioned her with a face full of hatred.

“Do you know that because of your st*pid behavior, I lost my job?

“I was fired for no reason. In the future, when 1 look for a job, other companies will ask me why 1 resigned. As long as they choose to look into it, they will be able to find out about this.

“Xu Lian, my future has been ruined by you. How are you going to compensate me?

“To think that you told me before that Lu Huai had feelings for you and that you might become his wife. You said that you would protect me in the future.”

Xu Lian was greatly angered.

Because of this incident, her status in the family plummeted.

Now, she was being reprimanded by Xu Ke.

Xu Ke’s family background was not as good as Xu Lian’s. In the past, Xu Ke always took the initiative and fawned over Xu Lian.

This was the first time Xu Ke had questioned her in person.

Xu Lian’s anger that she had been suppressing erupted.

She stood up and reprimanded Xu Ke.

“I didn’t force you to do it. You helped me willingly.

“You’re not helping me for my good. You only wanted to get benefits from our family.

“Just because there’s a problem with our family’s business, doesn’t mean that your status is higher than mine. Even if 1 offend Lu Huai, he will still help our family tide over the crisis.

“When the time comes, my father’s business will still be able to operate, and your family will still rely on my father to make money. What right do you have to question me here!”

Xu Ke was a little surprised by Xu Lian’s words.

“What do you mean?” she asked Xu Lian. “You’ve already offended Lu Huai, so why would he help you?”

Lu Huai was well-known in the circle for holding grudges, so very few people dared to offend him. Everyone knew how cruel Lu Huai’s revenge was.

Now that Xu Lian had offended Lu Huai, why was she still acting so recklessly? This made Xu Ke think that Xu Lian must have something on Lu Huai.

“Are you pregnant with Lu Huai’s child?” Xu Ke looked at Xu Lian’s stomach. “Why would Lu Huai like someone like you?”

Xu Ke said the last sentence out of spite, which made Xu Lian even angrier.

“Even if Lu Huai doesn’t like me, he won’t like you,” Xu Lian said angrily. “What right do you have to say that?”

Xu Ke was very surprised. She felt that Xu Lian had turned into a crazy woman.

“What triggered you to be like this?” she asked Xu Lian. “What’s going on between you and Lu Huai? If you explain it to me properly, 1 might be able to forgive you.”

Xu Lian sneered. “Forgive me? You just want to hear what bargaining chips I have in my hands. You just want to know if it is worth it for you to continue pleasing me! If our family goes bankrupt, you’ll take revenge on me.

“Xu Ke, you’re an extremely realistic woman. You’ve always looked down on me, right? You think that I’m inferior to you in every way. If it weren’t for your family background being stronger than mine, you think that you’d be far better than me, right?”

Xu Ke didn’t know how to refute Xu Lian’s words..
