Chapter 61 : Stealing a Man

“Who is it? How dare they be so shameless as to compete with Qinyu for a fiancé?”

“Just a country bumpkin, really. She’s so poor she can’t even pay for her tuition and has to work to earn money.”

Gu Qinyu sneered.

But how could such a rustic person catch Sichan’s eye?

How could she not be angry!

At this moment, Lu Yunxiang didn’t know that the person Gu Qinyu was talking about was Mu Qianqian, whom she was about to deal with.

“Don’t be too angry. Maybe President Fu is just temporarily intrigued and doesn’t truly like her. If he really liked her, why wouldn’t he make it public in their circle?”

These words actually struck a chord with Gu Qinyu.

“That’s right. Once Sichan gets bored after playing with her for a while, just wait and see how I deal with her!”

Lu Yunxiang asked, “Haven’t you dealt with that girl yet? This isn’t like you.”

“I would have liked to, but Sichan is protecting that woman so tightly that I can’t find an opportunity to strike! Recently, I was even detained because of that cheap girl, and my family punished me by putting me under house arrest, not even letting me go to school.”

Today, Gu Qinyu had taken advantage of her family being away, shaking off the bodyguards watching her, and sneaking out.

“Oh, right, Yunxiang, why are you under house arrest too? I heard you had a quarrel with your brother. Why?”

Lu Yunxiang’s eyes flickered, showing a hint of guilt.

“It’s nothing… just a small issue that led to some misunderstanding with my brother.”

She was under house arrest because she had audaciously schemed against the Fu family, angering Lu Yunbai.

But Lu Yunxiang naturally couldn’t tell Gu Qinyu the truth.

After all… Gu Qinyu’s obsession with Fu Sichan was well-known. If she knew that Lu Yunxiang also had feelings for Fu Sichan, she would definitely disregard their friendship and turn against her!

Lu Yunxiang didn’t dare provoke this madwoman!

“Just because of a misunderstanding, they put you under house arrest? Why is Lu Shao so strict? Your parents don’t even care about him?”

Lu Yunxiang, feeling anxious, quickly found an excuse.

“My parents are too busy with other matters.”

Gu Qinyu pouted, “I know. They’ve been so absorbed in searching for your younger sister that they’ve ignored everything else. I just don’t understand. They have a grown daughter like you right in front of them, but they don’t care, and are focused on a younger daughter who might be dead already.”

“Yunxiang, I speak bluntly, so don’t take it personally.”

Gu Qinyu, confident due to the Gu family’s standing in the circle, was as proud as a peacock, and speaking this way wasn’t unusual for her.

Although she was a good friend of Lu Yunxiang, she actually didn’t know Lu Yunxiang’s true background.

To outsiders, Lu Yunxiang was the eldest daughter of the Lu family, while the missing one was the youngest daughter.

Lu Yunxiang lowered her head, “It’s okay. I know you didn’t mean anything by it. But it’s best not to mention these things in front of my parents. I’m afraid it would upset them…”

Gu Qinyu sneered, fiddling with her sharp nails.

“You’re just too kind-hearted, never competing or fighting for anything. If I had a sister who was lost and wandering, I certainly wouldn’t want her to come back and take away my favor.”

Lu Yunxiang covered her chest, appearing weak and pitiful, but actually feigning distress.

“Alas, she’s my own sister. Whenever I think about her possibly suffering out there, it makes me feel awful.”

“Don’t be so upset. If she’s fortunate, she’ll be found sooner or later. If she’s not lucky, it’s not your fault, it’s just her own misfortune.”

A cold glint flashed in Gu Qinyu’s eyes.

She didn’t care about blood relations or family ties. Her father was constantly having affairs and producing several illegitimate children who were all vying for the family inheritance.

Gu Qinyu was disgusted by those wretches! She wished she could kill them all!

“By the way, Qinyu, what’s the name of that cheap girl you mentioned?”

“I’ve checked. Her name is… Mu Qianqian.”

With a crash—

“What happened?” Gu Qinyu asked impatiently.

“It’s nothing, I accidentally knocked over the tea,” Lu Yunxiang said, her voice steady despite her trembling hands clenched tightly beneath the table.

It’s her?

How could she be involved with President Fu?

No wonder there are no negative rumors about Mu Qianqian at Finance University, and everything seems calm.

It turns out… this girl’s big shot behind her is actually the head of the Fu Group!

Gu Qinyu’s face twisted with jealousy. “This cheap girl must have some sort of seductive tricks. She clearly knows how to attract people. I can see that Sichan is very interested in her, he’s never been this gentle with any woman before!”

“Don’t worry, Qinyu. I’ll help you deal with her. After all, we’re good friends.”

“Thank you, Yunxiang. I don’t trust anyone else, I only trust you. After all, you’re not interested in Sichan, right?”

Lu Yunxiang’s smile didn’t reach her eyes. “Yes, he’s the man you like. How could I possibly compete with you?”

After Gu Qinyu left.

Lu Yunxiang immediately called the Mu family, instructing them not to act rashly.

She had thought she had been discreet enough about the recent car accident, but it was revealed so quickly.

She couldn’t underestimate the Fu family’s power.

If she were to take action against Mu Qianqian, she needed to be even more careful and not act recklessly.

Otherwise, it could lead to her own downfall!

The fate of Sharpe was a warning for her.

But how could the Mu family, eager to catch Mu Qianqian and collect a bride price, possibly listen to her?

…

A few days had passed since Mu Qianqian last visited Yun Cheng Hotel. When she went there again, everyone was gathered, chatting together.

“Wow, Yanru, you look so beautiful today. Are you going on a date with Young Master Ye?”

Wang Yanru flicked her hair and said coquettishly, “No, don’t make such wild guesses.”

“Oh, you’re blushing. You must be going on a date with Young Master Ye! You’ve been disappearing for days, if you’re not meeting him, who else could it be?”

Wang Yanru smiled shyly but didn’t deny it.

“Young Master Ye doesn’t like too much attention, so please keep this confidential.”

The crowd erupted in excitement.

Wang Yanru reveled in the feeling of being the center of attention, even though she knew it was all fake. Her vanity was greatly satisfied.

Mu Qianqian was passing by and hadn’t planned to join the conversation, but Wang Yanru wasn’t going to let her off easily.

“That day I had a date with Young Master Ye, and Qianqian was there too. But… Qianqian was thrown out by Young Master Ye’s assistant and was covered in dirt. I was going to plead on her behalf, but Young Master Ye was so angry that I couldn’t do anything…”

“You’re talking about last week, right? I saw it too. When Mu Qianqian came back from the garden, her work clothes were all dirty.”

“I asked her, and she said she fell by herself. I didn’t expect that she was actually thrown out by Young Master Ye. Tsk tsk, so that’s how it was.”

“If I were her, I would be too embarrassed to come to work. She lost so much face and still acts like nothing happened. How thick-skinned can she be?”

For a moment, everyone’s gaze towards Mu Qianqian became somewhat subtle.

Mu Qianqian came here just to earn some part-time money and wasn’t too concerned about the rest. She couldn’t be bothered to explain.

During a break, she and Ye Wanqing were sitting in the garden, talking.

“Qianqian, I’ve been troubled lately.”

“What’s wrong, Wanqing? What happened?”

Ye Wanqing rested her chin on her hand, sitting on the steps with a distressed expression.

“Next month, my brother plans to take me to the Lu family for a visit, and they might arrange my marriage. But I just want to be a free-spirited person, living independently and freely. I don’t want this marriage, let whoever wants it have it!”
