Yin Xun invited Qu Lu inside, treating her like a guest.

Upon entering the house, Yin Xun asked Qu Lu to take a seat while she went to get some food and drinks. On their way back from the hotel earlier, Qu Lu looked constantly depressed. She looked completely different from when she had threatened Yin Xun last time.

Even when Yin Xun tried to speak to her, Qu Lu did not say anything. She only glanced at the driver. Yin Xun immediately understood that Qu Lu was wary of the driver.

“You don’t have to pretend to entertain me. Yao and Qu Lin aren’t here, so you don’t have to act friendly. If you have anything to say, just say it,” Qu Lu sat on the sofa and said coldly.

Yin Xun did not mind Qu Lu’s hostile words at all. She took out a pile of tasty food and placed it in front of Qu Lu.

“Miss Qu, my only merit is that I’m warm and hospitable. Since I’ve invited you over as a guest, 1 naturally have to treat you well.” Yin Xun’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a friendly smile. “I saw that you didn’t eat anything the entire time. Why don’t you have some snacks first? These ones taste pretty good.”

Qu Lu stared at Yin Xun warily. “Thank you, but there’s no need. We’re not friends. I’m not here to reminisce with you. Tell me, why did you call me over?”

When Yin Xun saw Qu Lu’s vigilant expression, she stopped urging her to eat. Instead, she sat at the side and started talking.

“Actually, I know that although you dislike me, you don’t really want to hurt me. If you did, you wouldn’t have deleted the photos in Ding Shan’s phone. You could have verified the rumors.” Yin Xun looked at Qu Lu and said slowly, “So, 1 hope…”

“You’re thinking too much. 1 just don’t treat you as an opponent, so I don’t care about you at all. Don’t flatter yourself.” Qu Lu became even more vigilant. She was not sure what Yin Xun was up to.

Previously, the two of them had always disliked each other as if they were enemies. Now that Yin Xun suddenly treated her nicely, there must be something wrong.

“Alright, whatever you say.” Yin Xun did not intend to refute Qu Lu. She said, “The reason you insist on marrying Fang Yao is because you have other plans, right?”

A look of panic flashed across Qu Lu’s eyes as she retorted, “1 just like him. What does that have to do with you?”

Yin Xun sighed and said,” There are a lot of things ordinary families can’t do aside from earning money, let alone a rich family like yours. You probably care about your ident.i.ty and want to find a way out for yourself in the future. Since I invited you to my house today, I’ll be frank.

“I don’t know what happened between you and Qu Lin in the past that caused the two of you to be enemies now. As for you, the main reason you want to marry into the Fang family is because you want to use his family’s power to help yourself, right?”

In fact, Fang Yao had already told her about Qu Lu and Qu Lin’s early years. However, Qu Lu would definitely be unhappy if she knew this, so it was best if Yin Xun pretended not to know.

Yin Xun’s words were very direct, hitting the nail on the head. Qu Lu’s expression changed. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but no words came out.

She kept her gaze fixed on Yin Xun, and Yin Xun looked back at her indifferently. After a long while, Qu Lu slowly asked, “How do you know all this?”

“Don’t worry about how I know. You just have to tell me if I’m right, okay? You’re adopted by the Qu family. Your only purpose is to form a business marriage with the Fang family, so the Qu family’s a.s.sets never belonged to you. Since that’s the case, why hand your fate to an outsider? Wouldn’t it feel more rea.s.suring to control it yourself? Since ancient times, there have been many men who betrayed their wives.”

Qu Lu’s anger instantly dissipated. It was the complete opposite of her previous fierce expression. “You make it sound so easy. Do you know how difficult it is to rely on yourself?”

“It won’t be difficult if you have help.” Yin Xun saw that the time was right and hurriedly added, “Actually, the Qu family hasn’t treated you badly in terms of money, right? I have a friend who wants to open her own company. Now is the time to prepare the funds. She’s also a girl. If you want to start your own business, you can work together with her.”

“Work together?” Qu Lu was at a loss for words. What did this mean? Did Yin Xun want her to start a company with someone else?

Yin Xun nodded. “That’s right. Her current situation is actually not much different from yours. She also wants to carve a path for herself in the future. Since others can’t be counted on, she can only rely on herself. It’s just that a person’s strength is ultimately limited. It’s important to find a few like-minded partners to make things easier.”

Qu Lu sneered.. “So you weren’t looking for me to help me, but to help your friend?”
