"We know that Su Hao prioritizes profit above all else; the Jiang family does the same."
"The Jiang family is being targeted. In order to turn the tide and avoid being swallowed up, the Jiang family must find allies to join forces."
“Uncle Lu is a man of his mind; once he makes a decision, he never changes it. Su Hao, however, is a good breakthrough point.”
"After learning about Su Yue's identity, the Jiang family could naturally guess Su Hao's purpose."
"Furthermore, my engagement with Jiang Huan has already been dissolved. As long as the Jiang family goes along with Su Hao's wishes and promises enough benefits, Su Hao's switch sides will be a sure thing."
At this point, Qin Wan paused, her gaze shifting to Lu Yao beside her…
Their eyes met, and Lu Yao smiled obediently at Qin Wan.
"Lu Yao's identity and existence should not be a secret."
"If Lu Jiao knows, Su Rourou naturally knows too, not to mention Su Hao."
"Because of Lu Yao's appearance, the marriage alliance between the Su family and the Lu family is no longer unbreakable. In fact, the Lu family has now become a huge uncontrollable and uncertain factor for the Su family."
"On the contrary, Jiang Huan's obsession with Su Yue, as well as our hostile relationship with the Jiang family, is extremely advantageous to Su Hao."
“If I were Su Hao, I would also choose the Jiang family, not the Qin or Lu families,” Qin Wan said firmly.
After Qin Wan finished speaking, her father looked at her with extreme satisfaction.
"Wanwan has grown up."
Not only Qin's father, but also Lu Yao, who was watching from the sidelines, looked at Qin Wan with an unusual glint in his eyes...
[Lu Yao's favorability increased by 5, current favorability is 73.]
In that instant, Lu Yao could clearly sense the change in his feelings for Qin Wan.
My initial search for her stemmed from a long-held obsession, devoid of any romantic feelings whatsoever.
At the beginning of their reunion, his feelings for her were only those of a brother and sister, and his affection for his older sister.
However, as he got to know Qin Wan better, he could clearly feel his possessiveness toward her growing stronger and stronger, and he found it increasingly difficult to take his eyes off her.
Even now, he has already decided in his heart that she is the one, but at this moment, facing her extraordinary intelligence, he still feels surprised, delighted, and full of pride.
Look, this is his Sister Qin, the girl he likes.
She was intelligent, kind, beautiful, gentle, and treated him exceptionally well.
Thinking of this, Lu Yao's expression softened unconsciously.
Even when Qin Wan and her father talked about the Lu family, his emotions were unusually unaffected and showed no fluctuation whatsoever.
What does the Lu family have to do with him?
What he wanted, what he cared about, was only her from beginning to end.
After realizing his truest thoughts, Lu Yao's gaze towards Qin Wan underwent a subtle change in that instant...
[Lu Yao's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 75.]
She had seen him lose control, yet she was neither afraid of him nor disgusted by him, treating him as always—no, she actually treated him even better.
Every matter receives a response and every issue is resolved.
He liked her; he liked her tolerance, pampering, and care for him.
"Don't worry, Dad will handle this."
"It's late, and you have classes tomorrow. You and Lu Yao should go back first."
"Okay, Dad."
Goodbye, Uncle Qin.
After bidding farewell to Qin's father, Qin Wan and Lu Yao left together.
But neither of them expected that, just as they left the hotel and before they even got into their car, they would run into Jiang Huan and Su Yue, who were smiling sweetly at each other.
"Oh, isn't this our Miss Qin?" Jiang Huan sneered, staring at Qin Wan with unfriendly eyes.
These days, with the Qin family pressing the Jiang family at every turn, and facing the suffocating atmosphere at home and the company's dire situation, Jiang Huan's hatred and resentment towards Qin Wan have been surging rapidly.
Qin Wan glanced indifferently at the two of them, then pulled Lu Yao's hand and prepared to leave.
Yes, she didn't want to waste words with Jiang Huan.
He's just a brainless, irrational, and useless man.
He's not only useless, but he's also disliked by her; talking to him is a complete waste of time.
Why are you in such a hurry to leave?
Jiang Huan pulled Su Yue forward, blocking Qin Wan and Lu Yao.
Under Qin Wan's gaze, Jiang Huan took Su Yue's hand and showed Qin Wan the ring on Su Yue's ring finger.
"See? Yueyue and I are getting engaged soon."
"Then... I wish you a peaceful parting?" Qin Wan raised an eyebrow and said sarcastically.
Jiang Huan's face darkened. "Jiang Huan, don't go too far."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan chuckled lightly, "Isn't this something you asked for?"
"When have we ever met without being at each other's throats, fighting to the death?"
"You know that talking to me won't end well, but you still insist on blocking my way. Don't you think you're crazy?"
"So what if you and Su Yue are engaged? What does it have to do with me?"
As she spoke, Qin Wan looked at Jiang Huan with a mocking expression, "Don't forget, Jiang Huan, you're the man I, Qin Wan, don't want!"
Jiang Huan's face stiffened, his dark eyes filled with malice as he stared at Qin Wan.
"What? Have you already forgotten the scene of your whole family coming to my house to beg for my forgiveness a few days ago?"
"Jiang Huan, what's there to be so proud of? Why are you showing off in front of me? Who gave you the confidence and courage? Su Yue?"
Su Yue was staring at Qin Wan and Lu Yao's clasped hands when Qin Wan suddenly called her name. A flash of anger crossed her eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
The next second, she put on that familiar pitiful look.
"cousin……"
Qin Wan: "???"
"Did you take the wrong medicine?" Qin Wan looked at Su Yue with disgust.
"Who are you calling your cousin? Who is your cousin? Randomly claiming relatives is a big problem. You must not give up on treatment. If it really comes to it, I can help you call an ambulance or introduce you to a doctor specializing in this."
"!!!" Su Yue's face twisted with anger for a moment.
However, it only lasted a moment before Su Yue quickly regained her composure.
As Su Hao's illegitimate daughter, Su Yue has no other abilities, but her greatest strength is "endurance".
She was able to be recognized as a member of Su Hao's family by virtue of her forbearance.
She managed to win Jiang Huan's heart by enduring humiliation and hardship.
He repeatedly provoked Qin Wan, was bullied by Qin Wan time and time again, and endured pain and played the victim to gain Jiang Huan's sympathy, pity, and attraction.
Did Qin Wan humiliate her?
It's okay, these are all temporary.
Once she marries Jiang Huan, once the Jiang and Su families join forces, once the Qin family is swallowed up and falls into decline, once Qin Wan loses the Qin family's support, then she can take revenge.
A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years; the same applies to women.
Enduring temporary humiliation in exchange for decades of wealth and honor in the future—the life of a superior person is quite a bargain.
"Cousin, I am Su Yue, your uncle Su Hao's biological daughter."
"If you don't believe me, you can call Dad and ask him." Su Yue said as she moved closer to Qin Wan and tried to take Qin Wan's hand.
Qin Wan's eyes darkened, a deep sense of disgust and aversion flashing within them. She was about to make a move when someone beat her to it...
"ah!"
Su Yue let out a painful scream...
