Chapter 367: Links

However, Xiao Yue was no fool, she wouldn’t believe Quan Yu for no reason. However, she couldn’t figure out a reason for Quan Yu to frame Chen Shuo either. Furthermore, how could Quan Yu tell Chen Shuo would come to the nightclub?

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Yue believed that Quan Yu wasn’t playing with her so she quickly reacted. Her reddened eyes blinked innocently. Another tear fell on the table.

Mo Li said that a person’s natural shock would only last for 1 to 2 seconds but Xiao Yue had prolonged her acting to make Quan Yu see that she was very worried.

Then she held Quan Yu’s arm and asked shakily. “Brother Yu, what should I do now? I have no idea he is using drugs. If this is exposed, the Xiao Family… will be finished!” Xiao Yue said sadly. She was so choked up that she could barely speak. “I hate him so much! How can he do such a thing? He lied to my family and bullied me… I can’t forgive him. If I knew he has a drug history, I would have sent him into prison and then he wouldn’t have the chance to harm me.”

“But it’s not a good idea to expose this matter. After all, if this is made public, we’ll also get implicated from hiding this from the police.”

Xiao Yue was charmed by Quan Yu so she believed everything he said. She nodded and stressed, “Brother Yu, can you please help me? There is no one who is willing to trust me. But I deserve a chance, I don’t want to be entangled with Chen Shuo anymore. But I don’t know what to do…”

Quan Yu raised his brow with interest. He already saw the wheels turning in Xiao Yue’s mind as she came up with the plan to throw Chen Shuo under the bus. He chuckled internally. At this point, Quan Yu had to keep acting. He opened his mouth after a moment of silence. It looked like he just thought of something. “Actually, it’s not that hard to rescue yourself from your current situation. You only need a new topic, then everyone’s attention will s.h.i.+ft. There is much news now. In a few days, people will forget what has happened to you.”

Xiao Yue seemed to understand Quan Yu’s words and she nodded. Quan Yu was her savior. He was willing to help her when she was abandoned by the world. He even offered her a sum of money so that her life could be taken care of.

“Brother Yu, don’t worry, I will take care of myself.” Xiao Yue was no fool. She was not going to bring this up to the public without any preparation because if she did, she would only be dragged down with Chen Shuo. She had to paint herself as a victim.

Quan Yu smiled and patted Xiao Yue’s hand. “Silly girl, normally you are so clever so why are you so dense these days? Do you really think I wouldn’t have planned something for you? I’ve asked my people to look into Chen Shuo, he has a university friend called Luo Cong. He is a drug addict too. See if you can gather evidence from this man. Don’t do anything silly or else the reporters will eat you alive.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yue was startled. Then she asked with suspicion. “Brother Yu, how did you know all these? Besides, why did you investigate Chen Shuo?”

Facing the questioning, Quan Yu shrugged with embarra.s.sment. He coughed and explained hurriedly, “I was just curious why you would submit yourself to this man. I want to see how is he better than me, but…” Quan Yu then lowered his head shyly, like it had embarra.s.sed him to admit something like this. “Honestly, even I can’t tell why I have used the power of my family to investigate that b.a.s.t.a.r.d. However, once I remembered that birthday party and how I failed to protect you, I really wanted to kill him. So I couldn’t control myself and…” Quan Yu didn’t continue but rubbed his forehead. He coughed. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t lay this all on you. If you think I’m intervening into your privacy, then forget we ever met today!”

Quan Yu stood up in a hurry. Xiao Yue reached for him but Quan Yu nudged her back. Quan Yu scrambled up the steps and crawled nervously into his car.
