She looks quite old, how come she's still so immature? Didn't she see that Qiao Li didn't want to talk to her at all? Yet she kept trying to get closer to her.
Eileen glared angrily at the girl in front of her, who looked even younger than herself: "I wasn't talking to you, why are you interrupting? Don't think that just because my parents treat you with such respect, I'll be afraid of you like they are!"
Lu Qingyan scoffed, ignoring the brainless Eileen. Eileen's parents were respectful because they deserved it; the Erickson family's rise to its current state was inseparable from Lu Qingyan's presence. In this bizarre world, even if Lu Qingyan did nothing, simply choosing a family would unlock limitless possibilities. Not to mention, Amy had initially chosen the Erickson family and personally participated in its development, watching it grow into a behemoth.
"Do you think I need you to be afraid of me?" Lu Qingyan retorted. The life and death of the Erickson family had nothing to do with her anymore. Those who had fought alongside "Amy" had long since turned to dust, and those who remained had long forgotten who the true master of this family was.
Now, Eileen is seen as their future mistress. If she were to clash with Eileen, some unwise people might choose Eileen. Lu Qingyan felt it was best to abandon the Erickson family. Amy had protected them for so many years, only to die at Eileen's hands in the end. What belonged to Amy, even if it was a debt she owed to the family, should be repaid.
Eileen didn't want to waste words with Lu Qingyan, so she snorted and turned to look at Qiao Li: "Qiao, are you free? I'd like to invite you to dinner."
"Amy, let's go." Qiao Li walked over, took Lu Qingyan's hand, and turned to leave, her gaze not even falling on Eileen. Eileen looked at the growing crowd around her and felt embarrassed. Not wanting to lose face, she turned and ran away.
Even though Erin was gone, the people who saw it still gathered together to gossip.
"The heiress of the Erickson family, she actually came to find this strange guy, Qiao Li. Just who do you think this Qiao Li is?"
"What kind of background could he have? He's just a slightly good-looking kid. If he were really some big shot, surely we would know who he is?"
“That makes sense, but doesn’t Qiao Li already have Amy? Then what about him and Eileen…”
"Who is Amy? I've never heard of her before. Eileen is different. Anyone with a brain knows who to choose. Don't be fooled by Amy's good relationship with Qiao Li now; she'll be abandoned one day!"
Ignorance is bliss. While Lu Qingyan was completely unaware, her relationship with Qiao Li was stirred up and talked about, but that person had no idea what a dangerous person Lu Qingyan really was.
Lu Qingyan thought she had a pretty good temper, and if she really heard these words, she would just laugh it off. If it were someone with a bad temper, they would definitely teach the person who was gossiping behind her back a lesson.
“Amy, I’m not familiar with Eileen,” Qiao Li explained as she stood beside Lu Qingyan.
Lu Qingyan blinked: "Qiao Li, what are you explaining to me?" As she spoke, she reached out and pushed Qiao Li against the wall, wrapping her arms around his waist.
