Chapter 71: They Shouldn't Pay the Price for Their Love



Qin Xu seemed to have had a few drinks, and his speech was not very clear. He asked in a wronged tone, "Sister, did you really know all along that Qi Jingchen and Jiang Qingtang were together?"

Who exactly are you participating in this show for?

Did you really set me up with Jiang Qingtang just so you could get back together with Qi Jingchen?

I love you so much, even if you don't like me, you shouldn't treat me like this.

He seemed to have suffered a tremendous injustice.

No wonder he and Jiang Qingtang got together.

The two of them had remarkably similar thought processes.

Love comes first.

If they don't get the love they want, then the whole world has wronged them.

It would be a shame if we weren't together.

Qin Yue's eyes were icy, and she spoke in a voice even more sorrowful and aggrieved than his:

"Xiao Xu, don't you know how I ran into Qi Jingchen again? You know better than anyone why I participated in the show. If it weren't for your career, do you think I would have participated?"

When I participated in the show, apart from you, I had no idea who the other guests were, and I didn't know Jiang Qingtang at all.

You arranged everything for me time and time again, and I couldn't bear to disappoint you, so I agreed every time.

Have you ever thought that if it weren't for you, none of this would have happened?

If I really wanted to be with Qi Jingchen, I wouldn't have rejected him in the first place. Qin Xu, I've always hoped you could find someone you like. I've never tried to set you up with anyone, and I certainly never let you have an ambiguous relationship with Jiang Qingtang.

We've known each other for so many years, and I thought you understood me well enough. It seems I was wrong. You called back not out of concern for me, but to try and frame me for something baseless.

In your eyes, I'm someone who would sacrifice the happiness of her family for a worthless ex-boyfriend. Since you're so upset, just pretend I don't exist as your sister anymore.

Her voice was full of disappointment in him.

She didn't give Qin Xu a chance to speak again. After she finished speaking, she directly blocked and deleted him.

This time, she was going to completely sever ties with her beloved younger brother.

Qin Yue knew her parents would be upset if they knew about this, but she didn't intend to hide it from them. Rather than hearing it from someone else, she preferred to tell them herself.

The son they raised was someone who believed everything he heard and couldn't distinguish right from wrong.

She also let her parents know that even though she had been scolded many times, it was all thanks to her good younger brother.

And her good younger brother, just like the people online, doesn't trust her, questions her, and speaks ill of her.

Qin Yue didn't want to cry, but as she talked with her parents, she recalled some unpleasant memories and couldn't hold back. She threw herself into her mother's arms and burst into tears.

In this world, the person she has been most loyal to is Qin Xu.

But Qin Xu completely destroyed all her pride, making her feel that her life had been a complete failure.

This was the first time she had cried so hard in front of the Qin family elders.

Even when she broke her arm as a child, I never saw her cry like this.

Qin's mother was heartbroken and wiped away her tears.

The two elders have witnessed her kindness to Qin Xu over the years.

Yueyue dotes on Xiaoxu so much. She has protected him since he was little, even more than her own brother. When they were young, if anyone insulted Qin Xu, she would go to their house to find them.

Neither Yuanyuan nor Yuanzhou held the same weight in her heart as Qin Xu.

How could Xiao Xu repeatedly collude with outsiders to hurt her?

Qin's father paced anxiously to the side, scolding Qi Jingchen while also berating Qin Xu.

And that kid from the Lu family, none of them are any good.

He even told her to break up with him.

They will support her for life.

The Lu family boy he was talking about received a phone call at that moment.

Qin's mother also saw the caller ID.

Qin's mother: "Answer it."

The call connected, and his calm and collected voice came through the phone: "Have you rested yet?"

Qin Yue thought of something, walked to the window and drew back the curtains.

The front wall of the Qin family's courtyard is a low stone wall with an iron fence more than two meters high. You can see a car parked outside the Qin family's gate at a glance, and who else could be standing in front of the car but Lu Yanci?

You can't see anything inside from outside the window.

He stood tall and straight, looking up at the location of her room.

"Not yet." Qin Yue turned to look at her mother.

Qin's mother paused in twisting Qin's father's fingers, then waved to her, signaling her to leave.

Hearing her slightly hoarse voice, the man's heart clenched, his hand gripping the phone tightened, and a cold glint flashed in his deep, still eyes.

He slowly lowered his eyelids and asked in a softer tone, "Is it convenient for you to come out now?"

"Okay." Qin Yue held her phone and walked towards the entrance.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "I'll wait for you outside your house. Take your time, there's no rush."

She said "okay" while she was changing her shoes.

He had been watching the doorway, and when he saw her appear so quickly, Lu Yanci was stunned for a moment.

As she approached, he saw her red and swollen eyes, and his heart sank. Without asking directly, he took the cat they had bought together from the car and placed it in her arms.

She bent down and teased the kitten.

Lu Yanci's gaze softened considerably as he asked softly, "I'd like to take you for a walk in the park. Should we tell your aunt and uncle?"

Qin Yue knew that her parents were definitely peeking from inside the house right now.

Without asking why, she held the cat in one arm, waved towards the window with the other, turned to him with a bewildered expression, and said directly, "Let's go."

There is no moon tonight.

The weather was hot and humid, with no wind in sight.

The weather forecast says there will be heavy rain tomorrow.

The two walked along the artificial lake for a short while before she felt a fine sweat on her forehead.

Lu Yanci led her to a bench not far away and they sat down.

I turned on the water bottle I had been holding and handed it to her.

Qin Yue took a sip to moisten her throat, glanced at him sideways, and took the initiative to ask, "You came to see me suddenly because you saw what happened online?"

He took the water, screwed on the cap, placed it between the two of them, gave a soft "hmm," and said, "My assistant called me and explained the whole story to me."

"Whom do you believe?" Her long eyelashes drooped, and her fingers gently combed the fur of the cat in her arms, her tone enigmatic.

“Qi Jingchen is keeping someone around, but he doesn’t dare to announce it to the public. He’s trying to deceive you and get back together with you. He also got another girl pregnant, but he doesn’t want to take responsibility.” He frowned, his tone serious and earnest.

"Qin Yue, you have done nothing wrong, you have wronged no one, and you should not pay the price for their actions."

You should look me in the eye when you ask me if I believe you. If I hesitate, you should slap me and turn away without hesitation.

"I can't beat you." Qin Yue chuckled, feeling a sudden sense of relief.

She leaned back casually in her chair, looked up at the dark sky, and said almost inaudibly, "Don't worry about me. This matter should be resolved by this time tomorrow."

"Can you let me handle this?"

"Um?"

Qin Yue turned her head and stared at him intently, waiting for him to say something next.
