In Ye Lan's words, she was always Cinderella who suffered all kinds of grievances, while Ye Qingqing... was a vicious stepsister who beat and scolded her, and made her hungry and cold... living a more miserable life than Cinderella.

Such an exaggerated plot would not be believed by anyone with a brain, but Lu Qingquan believed it wholeheartedly. He felt great pity for Ye Lan and deep hatred for Ye Qingqing.

However, for the sake of his property, Lu Qingquan had no choice but to feign compliance with Ye Qingqing, a vicious woman. Ye Lan, in order to help him achieve his great cause, was willing to endure Ye Qingqing's abuse and stay by Ye Qingqing's side to gather information.

Lu Qingquan felt both pity and admiration for Ye Lan. Only a girl as righteous and understanding as her was worthy of him!

These two people motivated themselves, pitied themselves, and comforted themselves...

They're a match made in heaven—a pair of scoundrels!

Ye Lan became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, tears streaming down her face. This time she really wasn't lying; she was in real pain.

Recently, she has been experiencing a dull ache all over her body when she wakes up in the morning, especially in her legs. She feels like something is wrong, but after checking herself, she found no wounds on her body or legs. This makes Ye Lan even more worried, fearing that her condition has worsened.

As Lu Qingquan listened to the sobbing on the phone, his heart clenched. In the twenty days or so that he had been away, Lan'er must have been bullied terribly by that vicious woman Ye Qingqing!

"Lan'er, don't cry. Just bear with it a little longer and explain things clearly. How could Ye Qingqing suddenly get together with Lu Mo?" Lu Qingquan frowned.

Although he and Lu Mo were cousins, they did not look alike. Lu Mo had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and a dignified bearing. His skin was a bronze color that was very popular in later generations due to years of training. In addition, Lu Mo's expressionless face greatly diminished his handsome appearance.

Lu Qingquan, however, had fair skin and was fairly handsome, with a bit of a pretty boy vibe. Of course, he was nowhere near as good-looking as Ding Ba, but Lu Qingquan always had a smile on his face and was very eloquent, so he was quite popular in the army.

The female soldiers, in particular, preferred Lu Qingquan, but he was half a head shorter than Lu Mo, only 175 centimeters tall.

Moreover, because Yue Hongxia doted on her son, she didn't allow Lu Qingquan to practice martial arts with the old man. As a result, Lu Qingquan's body was not as strong as Lu Mo's, his muscle lines were not as well-proportioned, and his physical fitness was far inferior.

After her rebirth, Ye Qingqing reflected deeply and realized that she had indeed been blind. Lu Qingquan's eyebrows were very close together, and people with narrow eyebrows are narrow-minded and vindictive.

Moreover, Lu Qingquan's lips are extremely thin. There is a saying in physiognomy books: "Men with thin lips are heartless."

That statement couldn't be more true. Isn't Lu Qingquan a heartless, ungrateful, and narrow-minded villain?

Ye Lan stopped crying and recounted the story of Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo in detail, saying worriedly, "Your family has moved out of the compound, and Ye Qingqing refuses to take me there. I can't go alone, and I don't know what's going on between Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo."

Lu Qingquan frowned. He had just returned from training today and hadn't called home yet. He hadn't expected that his family had moved out of the compound.

To be honest, he was somewhat grateful to Lu Mo, because Lu Mo's achievements had led to his rising status in the military. For example, he wasn't originally supposed to be in this training camp, but he was added later.

Lu Qingquan had inquired and learned that this training camp was to select members for the special forces brigade. The outstanding members would be selected from the training camp, and then a second and third selection would be conducted. The final winners would be able to enter the special forces brigade.

If Lu Mo hadn't been injured, he wouldn't even have qualified for the preliminary round.
