Chapter 292: Another Rich One
Translator: EndleggFantasv Translation Editor: EndlesgFantasy Translation
In just a moment, Ding Shan thought of many things. However, she was not good at arguing and did not know how to refute Qu Lin.
She had no choice but to look at the long-haired girl for help. ‘Wu Fei, tell her that Lulu is the innocent one.”
Ding Shan was not good at speaking, but Wu Fei was. Usually, when everyone quarreled, it was Wu Fei who helped Qu Lin the most.
However, this time, Wu Fei only looked at Yin Xun indifferently without any reaction on her face.
“Wu Fei?” Ding Shan called out again when she saw that Wu Fei did not respond.
“Hmm?” Wu Fei suddenly regained her senses. “Since Lulu already said that this matter has nothing to do with Miss Yin, then let’s not blame her anymore. ‘
Not only did Wu Fei not speak up for Ding Shan, she even spoke up for Yin Xun.
Ding Shan frowned in confusion. Why was this different from what they had agreed on in the beginning? At that time, Wu Fei had clearly told her that she wanted to teach Yin Xun a lesson. Why did she suddenly change her mind?
Wu Fei did not intend to explain. She only shook her head at Ding Shan, indicating for her to stop talking.
Then, she turned around and looked at Qu Lin. The corners of her lips curled up into a smile. The two of them looked at each other. Qu Lin was surprised at first, but she immediately understood what Wu Fei meant.
Qu Lin had always been at odds with this group of people. She could immediately tell if something was wrong with them.
At this moment, seeing the interaction between the two of them, Qu Lin pulled Yin Xun’s hand and introduced her to them. “This Miss Yin Xun is my savior. From now on, you should think of her as my good sister. Whoever bullies her is picking a fight with me. It’s up to you.”
With that, Qu Lin pulled Yin Xun to the other side of the banquet hall.
At this moment, a waiter walked past Wu Fei with a red wine tray. When he passed by Wu Fei, their eyes met. The waiter nodded slightly and walked toward Yin Xun.
“Thank you for earlier.” Yin Xun smiled and thanked Qu Lin.
Qu Lin smiled and shook her head. “1 should be the one thanking you. If you hadn’t helped me back then, I might have died now.” Thinking of the consequences of being kidnapped by human traffickers, Qu Lin could not help but shiver.
It had been so long since that incident. Thinking about the situation that day, she was still so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.
Qu Lin had lived under the protection of the servants since she was young. Her family doted on her and she had never suffered much. In the past, she had only seen human traffickers on the news and had never paid attention to the fate of the people who were captured. However, she knew one thing. She could not afford to be captured.
After she went back that day, she investigated some relevant cases. When she saw what happened to girls who disappeared, she realized how much Yin Xun had helped her.
The victims would be sold to some remote mountain village as child- bearing machines. After they lost their value, their organs would be harvested and sold, and they would be kept around just as a supply of blood. At that time, their lives would be worse than death.
“We’re all girls, after all. It won’t end well for us if we’re captured by human traffickers. Anyone would help in this matter.” Yin Xun originally wanted to say that it was a coincidence, but she suddenly thought of Qu Lin’s identity and changed her mind.
Since Qu Lin was from the Qu family, she must be very rich. Yin Xun could ask Qu Lin if she wanted to invest in her and become business partners.
Instantly, Yin Xun looked at Qu Lin with a burning gaze, like a cat spotting a
If Qu Lin agreed to collaborate with her, she would have another sugar parent. This was a very good opportunity. She had to seize it. With another backer, she would have more power to suppress Si Fan in the future. At that time, even if Si Fan had the protection of being the protagonist, she was confident that she could defeat him.
Yin Xun stared at Qu Lin with a faint smile on her face. For some reason, she felt that Qu Lin was already very close to her. It was as if they were soulmates who had met too late. However, the only flaw was that Qu Lin was on the young side.
Qu Lin, ??????? Why did she suddenly feel a chill down her spine?
“How old are you?” Yin Xun suddenly asked.
“Seventeen years old. What’s wrong?” Qu Lin did not understand why Yin Xun would suddenly ask about her age.
“She’s not an adult yet…” Yin Xun’s tone was rather wistful. Since that was the case, there was no point in talking about investing for the time being. What a pity, what a pity. However, she could save herself a spot early. After all, there was still a year before she became an adult.
Facing Qu Lin’s puzzled expression, Yin Xun smiled and said, “It’s nothing. I just suddenly thought of my brother. He’s the same age as you. By the way, are you interested in doing business?”
“Originally, I wasn’t interested,” Qu Lin said. “But now that I’m more into it, I’m learning too. Otherwise, my rightful assets will be snatched away by the person I hate the most..”
