    ¡°It hurts! My head hurts!¡±


    It was as if Su Jing had fallen into an abyss. She was dragged up in the speed of light and was slammed against the wall. Before her feet could feel the ground, she heard a magnetic male voice. He said fiercely, ¡°Do you think you¡¯re worthy of marrying me?!¡±


    ¡°Su Jing, I hate it when people threaten me!¡±


    Su Jing¡¯s sharp chin was stuck between the man¡¯s palm, and she couldn¡¯t move. She could only hold back the tears in her eyes as she looked pitifully at the man in front of her.


    Her small red mouth opened and closed as she asked in a weak voice, ¡°Big Brother, who are you?¡±


    Qin Feng was stunned.


    He knew Su Jing was quite good-looking. Her delicate and perfect face could seduce any man in the world.


    As a normal man, he loved beautiful women. However, he would never fall in love with a femme fatale.


    Not to mention, this woman dared to threaten him with his family business and force him to marry her. Did she really think that Qin Feng was a fool that could be played around with?


    Even if he had planned to do business with the Su family, he definitely would not be forced to do it. Qin Feng couldn¡¯t help but lose his temper today.


    Earlier, Su Jing threw the contract at his face and scolded, ¡°I have been chasing you like a dog for so long. Why don¡¯t you like me? How dare you not marry me? My family will definitely destroy you!¡±


    Su Jing¡¯s words ignited Qin Feng¡¯s anger. He couldn¡¯t help but throw the contract to the side and force Su Jing to a corner, wanting to teach her a lesson.


    As Qin Feng looked at the thin and frail girl with a delicate and beautiful face and a pair of big watery eyes staring at him, his heart felt like it was being stabbed, he stopped what he was doing.


    Su Jing looked at the tall and handsome man in front of her and couldn¡¯t help but feel a little confused. Why was this man so similar to the male lead in the novel she had read? He was so extremely handsome that even the gods envied him?


    The man¡¯s eagle-like sharp eyes gave off a suffocating pressure. His entire body exuded a powerful aura.


    Su Jing came to her senses and felt that she was in danger. She stepped on the tip of Qin Feng¡¯s handmade high-end leather shoes with her high heels.


    Qin Feng felt a pain in his foot and retracted his hand.


    As the two were fighting, a petite and sweet girl ran over. She looked at Su Jing nervously, but her eyes inadvertently glanced at Qin Feng.


    The girl called out shyly, ¡°Brother Qin Feng.¡±


    Only then did Su Jing come to her realization. She looked at the sweet girl beside her in shock and asked, ¡°What did you call him just now?¡±


    In confusion, the girl asked Su Jing, ¡°Su Jing, what¡¯s wrong? He¡¯s Brother Qin Feng! By the way, I¡¯ve been looking for you like crazy. Today is your birthday party, and everyone is waiting for you to cut the cake in the living room. What are you and Brother Qin Feng doing here?¡±


    Birthday? Qin Feng? Cake? Forced marriage?


    Was she in the book?!


    Su Jing felt her head spinning. It was a long time before she slowly came to her senses.


    She was originally a super scholar sent to the world¡¯s top university. Other than studying, she only had one hobby¡ª reading novels.


    Today, the novel she had been reading for a long time finally had a finale. On her way out today, she had been staring at her phone and reading it. Because she was too engrossed in reading, she didn¡¯t pay attention to the road. When a huge truck was rushing towards her, she didn¡¯t manage to avoid it in time.


    Su Jing¡¯s last memory was the screeching sound of the truck¡¯s brakes and a strong white light. Then, she somehow ended up here. This must be the world from the novel that she was reading!


    Even if she did end up transmigrating into the novel, why must her host be the evil woman with the same name?


    Su Jing couldn¡¯t help but feel like she was going crazy.


    After calming herself down, she turned her head and looked at the glass wall. Inside, she wore a high-cut dress with delicate makeup on her face. Her face was beautiful and familiar.


    The person in the reflection was obviously Su Jing, but it wasn¡¯t her style at all. She couldn¡¯t wear this type of sexy outfit with her back completely naked, nor could she put on such seductive makeup.


    As Su Jing listened to the sweet girl beside her keep calling the man Brother Qin Feng, she couldn¡¯t help but burst out in anger. She yelled, ¡°Fang Ke, can you be more direct if you like him? Why are you playing coy? Can¡¯t you just tell him directly?¡±


    She treated this sweet girl, Fang Ke, so harshly because she wasn¡¯t a good person in the novel.


    She pretended to be friends with Su Jing and encouraged Su Jing to courageously go after Qin Feng so that she could get close to Qin Feng.


    On the surface, Fang Ke looked harmless, but on the inside, she was a total b*tch!


    Qin Feng was stunned. What was going on?


    Why was this girl so different from her previous vicious and annoying self?


    Fang Ke was also stunned. She stared at Su Jing in disbelief. How did Su Jing know that she liked Qin Feng?


    Su Jing ignored the two idiots. She bent down and picked up the contract that her host used to force Qin Feng into marriage and tore it into pieces in front of Qin Feng..

 Chapter 2

    Su Jing tore up the contract because she knew that this contract would be the trigger for the destruction of the Su family.


    According to the story¡¯s development in the novel, although Qin Feng was pissed, he still agreed to the marriage. His real purpose was to use Su Jing to acquire the Su family¡¯s business.


    Su Jing would cause her entire family to fall. However, after the family fell, she didn¡¯t come to her senses and still wanted to be with Qin Feng and frame the original female protagonist, Lin Yi.


    In the end, her evil plot was exposed by Lin Yi, and Su Jing ended up with a ruined reputation and died tragically in the streets.


    As soon as Su Jing thought about how this ending would happen to her, she felt a bone-chilling sensation in her heart.


    Was her host really sick in the head? Wasn¡¯t it nice to be a rich and beautiful woman? Why did she have to fight so hard for a useless man?


    Su Jing immediately decided that she wanted to change the ending. She wanted to stay away from men and embrace wealth!


    She grabbed Qin Feng¡¯s hand and looked at him with a sincere gaze, ¡°Qin Feng, don¡¯t worry. From now on, I will never pester you to get married! I swear on my life. Don¡¯t worry, please don¡¯t worry!¡±


    Then, Su Jing ignored Qin Feng¡¯s reaction and pulled him to the banquet hall downstairs.


    Everyone saw Su Jing pulling Qin Feng over. The pairing of a handsome man and a pretty lady was as beautiful as a painting in their eyes.


    Everyone cheered for Su Jing to cut the cake.


    However, Su Jing pulled Qin Feng to the center in a hurry and shook her fair and tender arm, ¡°Everyone, quiet down. I have something to say.¡±


    Before Qin Feng could react, Su Jing pulled over the microphone and announced, ¡°Dear family, friends, brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunties, I hereby announce that the Su family will be cooperating with the Qin Corporation. Our families will be friends and partners forever!¡±


    Su Jing said these words boldly and even turned her head to nod at Qin Feng. There was a confident look on her pretty little face.


    Qin Feng was in a state of confusion. Had this woman been scared silly by him just now?


    Su Jing¡¯s little plan was brewing in her mind. How could a vicious supporting character survive in the hands of someone who would kill her in the future?


    The first step was to turn the enemy into a friend.


    Because Su Jing knew Qin Feng was a calculative and cunning person. Even if she were a super scholar, she would never dare to confront such a person directly.


    No matter how smart a little sheep was, her combat ability could not compare to the ferocious big bad wolf.


    Su Jing knew this well. So, she had to gain Qin Feng¡¯s trust so that he would no longer hate her and would not take revenge on her. Only in this way could Su Jing survive in this world.


    Even though this was a one-sided collaboration, Su Jing believed that her doting parents would agree to it, not to mention Qin Feng.


    According to the background of the original novel, there were some internal issues in the Qin¡¯s organization. Only by working with the Su family could they resolve the crisis.


    Su Jing was helping out amid a crisis, and she wasn¡¯t threatening to get married. Qin Feng might not be grateful to her, but at least he wouldn¡¯t repay her kindness with enmity.


    This is human nature, and this was something that Su Jing could rely on.


    After doing all this, Su Jing finally felt at ease. She smiled sweetly and waved her hand at the crowd, ¡°Thank you all for coming to celebrate my birthday, but I have an emergency that I need to attend to, so I must leave first. Everyone, have a good meal and have a good time. I hope to see you again.¡±


    Su Jing held onto her long dress and was about to run down the stairs. She was happily thinking about enjoying the life of a rich and beautiful woman.


    But, before she could take two steps, someone grabbed her wrist.


    The man¡¯s hand was big and strong. Su Jing¡¯s slender wrist was wrapped in his palm. It seemed as though if he had used a little more strength, he could easily crush Su Jing into pieces.


    Su Jing looked at Qin Feng pitifully. She knew that Qin Feng wouldn¡¯t trust her immediately after being threatened and forced into marriage.


    Qin Feng was a scheming, suspicious and ruthless character. It was normal for him to be suspicious of Su Jing¡¯s sudden goodwill.


    Su Jing opened her mouth and was about to say something when Qin Feng dragged her backstage.


    ¡°Su Jing, what are you playing at?¡± Qin Feng asked.


    Su Jing felt helpless. Why was this man so stubborn? Just take the benefits if I am giving them to you!


    She really did not want to get involved with Qin Feng at all. She wasn¡¯t like her host, who loved Qin Feng deeply. All she wanted was to get away from this terrifying man.


    When Su Jing first started reading the novel, she already felt that Qin Feng was terrifying.


    He was cunning and vengeful. His methods were ruthless, and he did not leave anyone with a way out. Anyone who saw him would feel a chill down their spine.


    Su Jing swore at that time that if she ever met a man like him, she would stay as far away as possible..

 Chapter 3

    Compared to Qin Feng, Su Jing was more interested in another character in the book. That person was the biggest villain in the book, the man who the author gave a tortured backstory. His life was incredibly tragic, and his character was extremely seductive. The man was Gu Jue.


    For some reason, Su Jing had a soft spot for him.


    The pain on her wrist pulled Su Jing¡¯s thoughts back to the present. Faced with Qin Feng¡¯s questioning, Su Jing could only swear repeatedly, trying to convince Qin Feng to believe her, ¡°Big Brother, I will not bother you anymore. I swear, if I ever bother you again, I will be covered in sores, and my entire face will rot, okay?¡±


    Which girl didn¡¯t care about her looks? For Su Jing to say these words, it must have shown how sincere she was!


    For some reason, Qin Feng, who had been pestered endlessly by Su Jing, suddenly felt something was wrong when he saw Su Jing like this.


    Although Qin Feng still didn¡¯t believe what Su Jing said, he was shaken.


    After all, no one could resist the most beautiful woman in the city staring at you with her big, sincere eyes and telling you that everything she said was true.


    Qin Feng replayed every moment Su Jing had pestered him. He immediately put on a disgusted expression.


    He kept telling himself that he couldn¡¯t be fooled by Su Jing again. This woman¡¯s words weren¡¯t worth believing.


    ¡°Su Jing, don¡¯t try to lie to me. You¡¯re just saying these to make me lower my guard and trust you so that you can continue with your scheme. How could there be such a shameless woman like you?¡± Qin Feng gritted his teeth and cursed.


    Su Jing couldn¡¯t help but feel annoyed. Why was this man so difficult to communicate with? What did he want her to do?


    Su Jing immediately pretended to be wronged. She squeezed her tears and said, ¡°Qin Feng, how could you say this to me? I lost my mind because I loved you too much. Now that I know I was wrong, I won¡¯t cling to you like this anymore.¡±


    Qin Feng looked at Su Jing¡¯s beautiful eyes, which were red like a cute bunny¡¯s eyes, and was a little stunned. This woman¡¯s beauty was simply too alluring!


    Su Jing could tell that Qin Feng was in a daze, so she quickly turned around and ran away.


    The next step of getting rid of the cunning man. Even if she was to become just friends with him, she had to keep a distance and try not to have anything to do with him.


    Like a gust of wind, Su Jing ran downstairs happily.


    As for why Su Jing was so happy, although transmigrating to another world was definitely strange and bizarre, the evil woman she transmigrated into in this book was undeniably a rich and beautiful woman!


    Even the powerful Qin Feng, who could control the entire world, had to compromise with her and seek help from the Su family. This showed how powerful the Su family was!


    With status, there was no need to worry about wealth. The Su family was one of the most prestigious families in the country and had businesses all over the world. Su Jing had no idea how rich the Su family was.


    Although Su Jing was a super scholar in her previous world and wasn¡¯t poor, their wealth was like heaven and earth compared to Su Jing in the book.


    This time, she could finally enjoy a world that belonged to the rich. Why would she even need a man? Su Jing was ecstatic!


    This was the kind of wealth she had worked hard for her entire life for, but now, she could easily obtain it at the age of 20 when she was still studying in university. How great!


    Su Jing looked at the diamond ring on her finger, which was several carats, and the exquisite necklace on her neck. These were all top-notch genuine jewelry.


    She was wearing a high-end dress that was silky smooth. On her feet were leather boots that were obviously worth a fortune. Inside her exquisite designer handbag was the car key of a Rolls-Royce.


    Su Jing took out the car key and kissed it hard, ¡°Oh gosh, isn¡¯t life wonderful?¡±


    She had already made up her mind to stay away from the bad male lead in the coming days. She would cherish her life and become a decadent, rich, and beautiful woman.


    She would eat, drink and have fun every day. Just thinking about it made her so happy!


    Su Jing held the beautiful handbag in her hand and laughed so hard that her body shook.


    Qin Feng was staring at her in a daze from afar.


    He thought to himself, ¡®this girl must have gone crazy from anger after being rejected by me!¡¯

 Chapter 4

    Qin Feng knew Su Jing. Su Jing usually did not care about the expensive things she had. Once, she even spent a fortune to book an entire high-end cafe just to have a cup of coffee with him.


    At the time, Qin Feng did not understand. Su Jing was the daughter of a wealthy and privileged family, yet her way of going after him was as crude as the ostentatious nouveau riche.


    Su Jing had always pestered Qin Feng like this. Qin Feng hated the disgusting stench of money that Su Jing gave off.


    Su Jing was also unwise in this regard. Even if she wanted to show off her wealth, she should not have done it to Qin Feng, who wasn¡¯t from a poor family himself. This kind of behavior would only make him feel insulted.


    Besides, Qin Feng had always worked hard for his career to prove himself. He did not rely on his family to achieve his current position and become the person in charge of the Qin family.


    So, he looked down on people like Su Jing, who thought she was so great because she inherited the money from her family.


    Su Jing used to be full of flaws that Qin Feng hated. But today, Su Jing made Qin Feng feel different.


    ¡°Brother Qin Feng, I¡­¡±


    After Su Jing left, Fang Ke approached him and wanted to talk to him.


    Qin Feng glared at Fang Ke unhappily. On the surface, this woman pretended to be innocent, but she was full of malicious intentions in reality.


    Compared to Su Jing¡¯s open and direct malice, Qin Feng hated Fang Ke even more. Qin Feng guessed that she was about to confess to him by seeing her shy face.


    ¡°Fang Ke, I¡¯m sorry, there is no hope between us.¡± Qin Feng rejected her directly and left.


    Fang Ke¡¯s eyes turned red as she glared in the direction where Su Jing had left.


    Today was supposed to be Su Jing¡¯s 20th birthday party, but Su Jing, who had transmigrated here, didn¡¯t want to deal with such an occasion, so she left early.


    Su Jing thought that rather than wasting her time chatting with those who pretended to suck up to her, she would be better off looking at her precious car.


    According to the character description in the novel, Su Jing¡¯s character liked to collect luxury cars, bags, and other expensive collectibles to show off her status.


    Although Su Jing wasn¡¯t a fan of cars, those were luxury cars worth tens of millions! Driving them out of the house was like sitting on a pile of money. It was the corruptive smell of wealth, and it was mesmerizing.


    Su Jing came to the underground garage and gave the shiny black Rolls-Royce a few kisses, ¡°Little Baby, I¡¯m here!¡±


    Just as Su Jing took out the keys to the Rolls-Royce and was about to unlock it, a tall man in a black suit and sunglasses walked over.


    Su Jing recognized him as her personal bodyguard based on her host¡¯s memory.


    Father Su had instructed him to stay by Su Jing¡¯s side to protect her at all times. Sometimes, Su Jing found him annoying and would try to chase him away, but he wasn¡¯t affected.


    He bowed respectfully to Su Jing, ¡°Miss, do you need a car? Let me drive you.¡±


    Although Su Jing wanted to experience being rich, she didn¡¯t want to experience the feeling of being watched by someone all day.


    It was too uncomfortable, and Su Jing couldn¡¯t stand it.


    ¡°Look, a UFO!¡±


    Su Jing pointed at his back to divert his attention. Then, when the bodyguard was not looking, she jumped into the car and drove away.


    Su Jing had a driver¡¯s license in her previous world, so driving wasn¡¯t a big deal.


    Su Jing looked at the complex structure and the well-made body of the car. She felt like she was about to burst with happiness, ¡°This car is obviously high-end!¡±


    Although this car cost millions of dollars, it was only the most inconspicuous gift Su Jing received for her birthday.


    In the novel, Su Jing remembered that the author described that the gifts Su Jing received were piled up into hundreds of square meters in her warehouse. There were all kinds of gifts, from jewelry to luxury cars and mansions. She was like a princess that everyone admired.


    Thinking of this, Su Jing couldn¡¯t help but feel happy. Those treasures were now hers!


    Su Jing stepped on the accelerator. She wanted to go shopping in the most affluent area. She wanted to see all the luxury goods in her hands.


    This was the simplest dream of a ¡°nouveau riche.¡±


    As soon as Su Jing¡¯s car entered the road, a large truck approached.


    The post-traumatic stress caused Su Jing to close her eyes subconsciously. She stepped on the brakes and did not dare to move again.


    The large truck honked its horn as it drove past. Su Jing waited until there was no movement before she opened her eyes.


    ¡°Oh my gosh, car accidents are so scary!¡±


    Su Jing took two deep breaths. As soon as she recovered, she saw many people gathered in front of the car.


    ¡°Hey, Miss, you hit someone!¡± Someone told Su Jing through the window.


    What? Did she hit someone? That was impossible. She didn¡¯t feel anything being in contact with her car just now.


    Su Jing quickly got out of the car to confirm. Many people gathered in front of her car and pointed at her.


    ¡°This man is quite handsome. He doesn¡¯t look that old. He¡¯s a student, right?¡±


    ¡°He doesn¡¯t look like he was hit. He looks more like he¡¯s having a seizure.¡±


    ¡°How irresponsible is the driver!¡±

 Chapter 5

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Su Jing pushed through the crowd. She saw a boy about 18 or 19 years old curled up on the floor. His face was purple, his breathing was short and his body was trembling.


    It was obvious that this man was sick!


    The passersby were busy taking out their phones to take videos, but no one stepped forward to help the boy.


    ¡°Why is no one helping him up? He looks so pitiful.¡±


    ¡°Who would dare to help him up? What if I get blackmailed? If he needs help, you help him up!¡±


    Su Jing was initially angry at the crowd¡¯s indifference, but after hearing these words, her anger faded.


    Su Jing¡¯s car did not touch the boy, yet the boy fell to the ground. It was indeed suspicious this might have been a fraud.


    But, Su Jing wasn¡¯t afraid of being blackmailed. She had nothing but money!


    Su Jing gently pushed the boy¡¯s shoulder and asked gently, ¡°Little brother, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    ¡°S-Save me¡­¡± The boy uttered weakly.


    Su Jing was stunned when she saw his face. How could there be such a good-looking boy in the world?


    The boy¡¯s skin was fair and delicate. His facial features were handsome and gentle. Even the way he raised his eyebrows made her feel infatuated.


    Su Jing¡¯s first reaction was that he couldn¡¯t be faking it. She needs to save him!


    Su Jing struggled to carry the boy into her car and rushed to the hospital. She called for a nurse to help carry the boy into the hospital.


    Amid the panic, the boy grabbed onto Su Jing¡¯s arm and called out in a daze, ¡°Sister¡­¡±


    It wasn¡¯t clear if he wanted to thank Su Jing or was afraid that Su Jing would leave him. Because his body was weak, he fell unconscious again after calling out to her.


    The boy¡¯s condition was critical. The nurse first notified the doctor and sent him to the emergency room. Afterward, she asked Su Jing to register at the counter.


    Su Jing did not know who the boy was. She explained to the nurse, ¡°I don¡¯t know who he is. I just saw him faint on the road and was worried that something might have happened to him, so I sent him to the hospital.¡±


    ¡°If you didn¡¯t know who he was, why didn¡¯t you just call an ambulance? Plus, he just called you ¡®sister.¡¯ I heard everything. No matter how bad the relationship between the siblings is, you can¡¯t abandon him at this time.¡±


    The nurse frowned and lectured her. She thought that Su Jing and the boy were siblings who had a conflict.


    Faced with the nurse¡¯s question, Su Jing didn¡¯t know how to explain herself.


    She was at a loss for words and could only cry out, ¡°Sister nurse, I really don¡¯t know him. Apart from being similarly good-looking, we have no relationship!¡±


    The nurse rolled her eyes at Su Jing, ¡°When people are at their most helpless, they often call out to their loved ones to seek comfort. Why didn¡¯t he just hold my hand and call me ¡®sister¡¯?¡±


    Su Jing could not refute the nurse¡¯s words. Even she wanted to know the answer to this question.


    The nurse assumed that she was admitting to their relationship and said, ¡°Come on, you¡¯re an adult, don¡¯t you know what¡¯s important? Hurry up and register his information and pay the bill.¡±


    ¡°I can pay the bill, but I really don¡¯t know who he is. There¡¯s no way for me to register his information.¡± Su Jing told the truth again.


    The nurse sighed helplessly, ¡°Forget it. You can pay the fee first. As for the other things, let¡¯s wait for the child to wake up first. But you can¡¯t leave the hospital. If something happens to the child, we can look for you.¡±


    Seeing that Su Jing was unwilling to register, the nurse had no choice but to compromise.


    Su Jing had no reason to reject the nurse¡¯s suggestion. So, she could only pay the bill and wait in the hospital.


    Fortunately, the boy was fine, and the resuscitation ended quickly.


    The red light in the emergency room went out, and the doctor pushed the boy out.


    ¡°Doctor, how is he?¡±


    ¡°The resuscitation was successful. Your brother had a heart attack. It¡¯s a good thing that you brought him here in time. If you had waited any longer, he would have been dead already.¡±


    Su Jing leaned over to check on him. Then, the boy grabbed onto Su Jing¡¯s wrist again.


    His face was pale, and his brows were furrowed. It seemed like he was in a lot of pain.


    This made Su Jing¡¯s heartache. She couldn¡¯t stand to see a handsome man suffer, not to mention such a handsome man.


    Su Jing couldn¡¯t help but raise her hand to touch the boy¡¯s furrowed brows and comfort him, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯re fine.¡±


    The boy seemed to have heard Su Jing¡¯s words as his brows relaxed.


    As the boy was still unconscious, he was placed in a normal ward for observation. Su Jing¡¯s hand was held tightly by the boy. She couldn¡¯t break free, so she followed him into the ward.


    ¡°Mom, mom! I¡¯m not going to find dad. I want to stay by your side¡­¡±


    ¡°Mom, please don¡¯t leave me, please don¡¯t leave me¡­¡± The boy seemed to be having a nightmare as he begged.


    Su Jing¡¯s wrist was hurting from his grip. She patted the boy¡¯s hand to calm him down, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯m here.¡±


    The boy felt the warmth from her palm and calmed down. He unconsciously held Su Jing¡¯s entire arm.


    Su Jing couldn¡¯t bear to push him away, so she could only lie on the bed in a weird posture.


    The two of them were so intimate the nurse beside her couldn¡¯t help but praise, ¡°You two are really close!¡±


    Su Jing felt completely helpless. It just became even more difficult for her to explain herself..

 Chapter 6

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Su Jing, who was watching over the boy, slowly fell asleep by the bedside.


    She dreamed that she was in a relationship with the big villain in the novel, Gu Jue. She couldn¡¯t help but mutter, ¡°Gu Jue¡­¡±


    The boy¡¯s eyes twitched. He heard someone calling his name, Gu Jue.


    Gu Jue slowly opened his eyes and found himself in the hospital. There was a woman lying beside the bed, whom he had never seen before.


    It was a beautiful woman. Every part of her body seemed to have been meticulously sculpted. Her skin was fair as snow and smooth as silk, and her facial features were seductive and dazzling. Her beauty was captivating.


    ¡®Why was she by his side?¡¯


    Gu Jue tried hard to recall his memories before he fainted. He only remembered that he seemed to have had a heart attack, and his vision went black as he fell to the ground.


    No one cared about him for a long time until he was about to lose consciousness. He seemed to recall a beautiful woman coming up to him and asking him what was wrong.


    He instinctively asked the woman for help, and she seemed to have saved him. He could not remember what happened after that.


    ¡®The woman lying next to his bed should be the one who saved him, right?¡¯


    Gu Jue moved his hand and found that he was holding the woman¡¯s hand tightly.


    He felt a little embarrassed and quickly withdrew his hand. Looking at the woman¡¯s fair and tender fingers, he could not help but caress them lightly.


    The woman slowly woke up. She rubbed her beautiful face with her fists. She opened her red mouth and yawned.


    She asked in a lazy tone, ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡±


    She was simply too beautiful. This sentence rang in Gu Jue¡¯s mind. He had never seen such a beautiful woman.


    Su Jing noticed that the boy had woken up, and his gaze became fierce.


    He wasn¡¯t as gentle as he was when he was asleep. The prying and scrutinizing gaze in his eyes made her scalp tingle.


    Yet, this feeling dissipated in an instant. Su Jing blinked her eyes, and the boy immediately became obedient, ¡°Sister, did you send me to the hospital?¡±


    Su Jing rubbed her eyes again, suspecting that something was wrong with her eyesight. The boy was gentle and kind. He looked just like someone¡¯s obedient child.


    ¡®Perhaps, she had just woken up and made a mistake,¡¯ Su Jing thought.


    ¡°I was the one who sent you to the hospital. But, you don¡¯t need to feel pressured, and you don¡¯t need to repay me. You just need to rest and recover.¡±


    Su Jing suggested that she didn¡¯t need the boy to repay her. After all, judging by how he dressed, it seemed like his family was not well to do. So, he might not be able to afford the bill.


    ¡°Thank you, Sister. You¡¯re such a kind person!¡± Gu Jue thanked Su Jing with a harmless smile.


    Su Jing¡¯s heart was about to melt from his smile, ¡°I am just glad that you are okay. By the way, the doctor said that your illness is congenital heart disease. You fainted because you didn¡¯t take your medicine in time. Remember to bring your medicine with you next time. It¡¯s too scary to have a heart attack like this on the street.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t have any medicine¡­¡±


    Gu Jue lowered his head in embarrassment. He didn¡¯t dare to look into Su Jing¡¯s eyes.


    Su Jing¡¯s heart ached, seeing the pitiful look on the handsome boy¡¯s face. She quickly pulled out a stack of cash from her wallet and shoved it into the boy¡¯s hand, ¡°Take this money to buy medicine. Tell me if you don¡¯t have enough.¡±


    Gu Jue pushed the money back and looked up with his starry bright eyes. He looked at Su Jing in disbelief, ¡°Sister, we don¡¯t even know each other. Why are you being so nice to me?¡±


    ¡°I somehow felt familiar with you the moment I saw you, that¡¯s why. If you feel bad about it, just see it as me loaning you the money. After you graduate and find a job, you can slowly pay me back in installments.¡± Su Jing put it this way as she was afraid of hurting Gu Jue¡¯s pride. She insisted that he take the money.


    ¡°No one has ever cared about me this much. You are the first.¡± Gu Jue¡¯s lonely expression made Su Jing¡¯s heartache again.


    What exactly did this young man go through? He was obviously young, yet he was sensitive and had low self-esteem. Su Jing couldn¡¯t help but think about it.


    ¡°Listen to me. Your life is important. Take this money and buy the medicine that you need. Otherwise, I will be very sad.¡± Su Jing once again shoved the money into his hands.


    Gu Jue accepted the money. He knew that if he wanted to make those people pay, he had to make sure he was alive. Only if he was alive could there be endless possibilities.


    Seeing Gu Jue accept the money, Su Jing felt relieved. She asked about the boy¡¯s background, ¡°Little brother, what¡¯s your name? Where do you live? I¡¯ll send you home later. I happen to be driving.¡±


    ¡°My name is Gu Jue. I don¡¯t have a home anymore.¡±


    Gu Jue told her the truth, but his eyes were filled with gloom when he mentioned the word ¡°home.¡±


    ¡®Gu Jue?!¡¯ Upon hearing this name, Su Jing¡¯s body froze immediately.


    This kid was actually the biggest villain in this book, Gu Jue?!


    The ruthless, vicious, bloodthirsty, unscrupulous villain, Gu Jue?!


    No wonder he was so good-looking. No wonder Su Jing always sensed a dangerous aura around him..

 Chapter 7

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    When Su Jing was reading the novel, she felt for Gu Jue¡¯s character the most.


    Gu Jue¡¯s father died early, and his mother was a mistress. After his father died, she abandoned him and ran away with another man.


    He stayed in the Gu family as an illegitimate child. He was abused by his father¡¯s first wife and his half-brother from a young age. He also had congenital heart disease. His life was as miserable as it could be.


    Later, Gu Jue finally met the female lead, Lin Yi. He thought she was his salvation, but he could not get together with her.


    In the process of pursuing Lin Yi, he was hurt by Lin Yi time and time again. In the end, he becomes the biggest villain in the book. Gu Jue¡¯s character was the only motivation for Su Jing to continue reading this novel.


    She was not moved by the love between the male and female leads in the book. She just wanted to see if Gu Jue could have a perfect ending.


    This child was too pitiful. All he wanted was a little bit of love. In the end, no one was willing to give it to him. After everyone forced him into being a bad guy, they blamed him for being evil.


    Su Jing wanted to crawl into the book and hug this young man more than once.


    Speaking of the ending, Su Jing suddenly thought of something. The pitiful young man in front of her was a future villain!


    This young man would be more powerful than the Qin family and the Su family combined. His methods were so ruthless that countless people were scared out of their wits when they heard his name.


    Would she still have to worry about her tragic ending if she could cozy up to him now?


    Qin Feng was also a ruthless person. If he were greedy and still wanted to take over the Su family, Su Jing¡¯s situation would become extremely dangerous.


    What if she took advantage of the fact that Gu Jue had yet to grow into his villainous self at this point, helped him, and nurtured him? Based on Gu Jue¡¯s character, he would definitely repay Su Jing in the future.


    Moreover, Su Jing could love Gu Jue and make him feel that there was still love in the world. This way, he wouldn¡¯t turn evil and avoid his tragic ending. It was like killing two birds with one stone!


    Su Jing was pleased with her plan and started to giggle.


    ¡°Sister, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Gu Jue was confused.


    ¡®Why was Su Jing surprised and giggled when she heard his name? Did she know him?¡¯


    ¡°I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m fine. Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Let me get you some water.¡±


    Su Jing returned to her senses and looked at Gu Jue with concern.


    Without waiting for Gu Jue to respond, she grabbed a cup of hot water and handed it to Gu Jue, ¡°Be careful, it¡¯s hot. Drink it slowly. I¡¯ll take you out for a meal in a while, and then I¡¯ll send you home.¡±


    Gu Jue held the cup in his hand. The outside of the cup emitted a temperature that he had never felt before.


    ¡®Was this the feeling of being cared for by someone?¡¯


    Gu Jue looked at Su Jing carefully. This charming woman seemed to be concerned about him.


    He blew on the steaming water in the cup and took a little sip. He made a big decision in his mind.


    Su Jing did not notice the change in his expression as she continued to plan their schedule, ¡°I¡¯ll take you to eat something nutritious in a while. You¡¯re too skinny, and you need to replenish. By the way, do you have a phone? I¡¯ll give you my phone number. If you want to contact me, just give me a call.¡±


    A drop of warm liquid dripped onto Su Jing¡¯s hand. She looked at Gu Jue in shock, only to discover that the child was sobbing.


    Su Jing panicked and asked, ¡°Wh-What¡¯s wrong¡­? Don¡¯t cry. Did I say something wrong? I am sorry.¡±


    Gu Jue was sensitive. Su Jing thought she had accidentally touched on something that triggered him and quickly apologized.


    Gu Jue shook his head and forced a smile, ¡°You didn¡¯t say anything wrong. It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t felt the warmth of my family in a long time.¡±


    Su Jing felt bad. Just a glass of water and a few words could make Gu Jue cry. This child really had a tough life.


    Su Jing patted his blanket and said gently, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. From now on, you can consider me your biological sister. If you have any difficulties, just look for me. I will definitely help you.¡±


    Gu Jue¡¯s eyes were still filled with tears as he looked at Su Jing pitifully, ¡°Are you really willing to help me with anything?¡±


    Su Jing nodded her head solemnly. She did not realize that Gu Jue had already dragged her into a ditch.


    ¡°How about you take me in for a few days? I was chased out of my home by my stepmother. I have nowhere else to go. Don¡¯t worry. I will only stay for a few days. Once I find a new place to stay, I will leave immediately. I won¡¯t cause you any trouble.¡±


    After Gu Jue finished the first half of his sentence, he seemed to think that his request was a little too much. So, he quickly made another promise to Su Jing.


    The pleading in his eyes hurt Su Jing. She held him in her arms and said, ¡°Silly child, you can stay with me as long as you want. You have a family now. I¡¯ll be your family.¡±


    At this moment, Su Jing¡¯s motherly nature was about to explode. She had absolutely no idea that she had fallen into Gu Jue¡¯s trap.


    Gu Jue¡¯s face darkened as emotions surged in his heart.


    Family? This word seemed too foreign for Gu Jue..

 Chapter 8

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    After the doctor confirmed that Gu Jue was fine, Su Jing checked him out of the hospital.


    Su Jing took Gu Jue to the high-class apartment where her host lived alone.


    ¡°I see that you didn¡¯t bring anything. There¡¯s a supermarket nearby. I¡¯ll bring you to buy some daily necessities later.¡± Su Jing pressed the fingerprint lock on the door and said to Gu Jue.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright. I am troubling you enough by staying here for a few days. You even paid for my medical fees. I can¡¯t spend your money anymore.¡± Gu Jue stood behind Su Jing and waved his hand awkwardly.


    The door opened with a click.


    Su Jing pushed open the door and turned her head to look at Gu Jue, pretending to be angry, ¡°No, stop being so courteous with me! Didn¡¯t I tell you before? Just treat it as if I loaned it to you. You can pay me back in the future.¡±


    Since Su Jing had said this, Gu Jue couldn¡¯t refuse anymore. He pursed his lips and nodded his head.


    Su Jing turned her head back in satisfaction and pushed open the apartment door.


    In the next second, Su Jing was dumbfounded.


    ¡°Wow.¡± Gu Jue looked inside the apartment and couldn¡¯t help but let out an exclamation.


    Every empty space in the apartment was covered with photos and posters of Qin Feng and news reports about him. There was so much variety that it looked like a pervert had lived here.


    Su Jing¡¯s mind went blank.


    It was obvious from the angle of some of the photos that they were taken secretly. The host even photoshopped herself on some of the posters and added some pink hearts on them.


    No wonder Qin Feng hated the original Su Jing so much. This woman was too scary.


    Su Jing began to pity Qin Feng, but she realized that she was Su Jing!


    Su Jing screamed silently. She realized that she was the pervert herself.


    It would have been fine if she was the only one who saw these things, but Gu Jue was standing right behind her!


    In the future, this guy would hate Qin Feng to the extreme. He wanted to kill everyone close to Qin Feng. If he found out that she liked Qin Feng so much, would he kill her as well?


    Thinking of this, Su Jing¡¯s heart turned cold.


    ¡°Little Jue, listen to me¡­¡± Su Jing¡¯s voice trembled as she said to Gu Jue with a flattering smile.


    Unexpectedly, Gu Jue lowered his head in sadness. He lifted his clear eyes and revealed a puppy-like expression. He said in a disappointed voice, ¡°So, Sister, you already have someone that you like¡­¡±


    Su Jing felt her heartache. She immediately denied, ¡°No, no. This was all done by my cousin. She likes Young Master Qin very much.¡±


    Su Jing immediately regretted her words. What kind of lame excuse was this?


    As expected, Gu Jue did not believe her. He looked at a poster that said, ¡°I, Su Jing, must marry Qin Feng¡± and said, ¡°Sister, you don¡¯t have to be embarrassed. Qin Feng, the person in charge of the Qin Corporation, is indeed worthy of you. Unlike me¡­¡±


    Gu Jue¡¯s voice became weaker and weaker. Su Jing was hurt by the fact that he was feeling inferior. She quickly walked to the poster closest to her and tore it into pieces.


    Gu Jue quickly stopped her in surprise, ¡°Sister, what are you doing? This poster is fine. It would be a waste to tear it up.¡±


    ¡°Come and help! I will tear up everything today. Qin Feng is nothing. You will definitely become someone even more powerful than him in the future!¡±


    Su Jing patted Gu Jue¡¯s skinny shoulder and said to him in a high-spirited tone.


    After saying this, Su Jing felt very proud. Gu Jue felt so inferior right now. She encouraged him and gave him confidence. In the future, he might even treat her as a mentor to his career and repay her after he succeeded.


    Ah, she was another step closer to living an even more luxurious life.


    Gu Jue¡¯s expression was subtle.. Was Su Jing giving up on Qin Feng because of him?

 Chapter 9

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Gu Jue had completely misunderstood. He thought Su Jing didn¡¯t want him to be sad, and that was why she tore up the photos and posters of Qin Feng.


    To put it bluntly, he and Su Jing were just two strangers that had just met. Since Su Jing cared so much about his emotions, it must be because she liked him.


    Gu Jue¡¯s thought process was so simple. He grew up in an environment where everyone hated him. So, it was his survival instinct to please others and read their minds.


    If Su Jing didn¡¯t care about him, then she wouldn¡¯t care about his thoughts. But, he was a person with nothing, so he had no value to Su Jing. So, there was only one possibility for Su Jing to treat him that well. She had an emotional need for him.


    Gu Jue was extremely good-looking, so many people liked him. But, without exception, they chose to stay away from him after they found out about his identity.


    Being the illegitimate son of the Gu family, the son of a vixen, he must have had no good intentions. He stayed in the Gu family for the sake of the Gu family¡¯s property and was as shameless as his mother.


    Gu Jue had been listening to these words since he was young.


    He was glad that Su Jing did not know his true identity. Otherwise, she would have stayed away from him like everyone else.


    He needed a place to stay, and his instincts told him that Su Jing was different from those other women who only wanted his good looks. If he could get Su Jing to like him, everything would not be a problem.


    His expression looked touched as he held onto Su Jing¡¯s hand that was about to continue tearing the poster.


    He said, ¡°Sister, you don¡¯t have to change anything because of me. I¡¯m not worth it.¡±


    Su Jing did not think about a romantic relationship at all. She simply thought of Gu Jue as a younger brother with a tragic background.


    So, she misunderstood what Gu Jue meant as well, ¡°I¡¯ll be sad if you look down on yourself like this. Don¡¯t say things like this anymore. In fact, I¡¯ve wanted to clean up these things for a long time. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s hard to clean them up by myself. Hurry up and help me.¡±


    Su Jing was telling the truth. She wasn¡¯t the original Su Jing, so she wasn¡¯t interested in Qin Feng. Even she felt disgusted by the things hanging on the wall.


    ¡°But¡­¡± Gu Jue seemed to be trying to persuade Su Jing.


    Su Jing cut him off, ¡°Alright, hurry up and help!¡±


    Gu Jue couldn¡¯t argue with Su Jing, so he had no choice but to help her clean up.


    Su Jing¡¯s host left behind too many ¡°merchandises¡± of Qin Feng. It took the two of them more than two hours to clean up everything.


    Gu Jue packed everything in a black plastic bag and said hesitantly, ¡°Are we really going to throw all these away? It¡¯s such a waste.¡±


    Su Jing carried two bags out the door, ¡°Yes, throw them away, throw them all away!¡±


    The two of them spent another hour hauling away the rubbish that filled the living room.


    After the last bag of rubbish was thrown into the bin, Su Jing clapped her hands as if she had solved a huge problem. She took a deep breath and said, ¡°It¡¯s finally done. Little Jue, let¡¯s go to the supermarket.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Gu Jue obediently followed behind Su Jing.


    The two of them arrived at the supermarket. Gu Jue pushed a trolley and walked over to Su Jing, ¡°Sister, let¡¯s buy some food later. I want to make you dinner to repay you.¡±


    ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll take that!¡±


    She initially wanted to take Gu Jue out for a big meal, but agreeing to Gu Jue¡¯s request would ease his burden, so Su Jing did not refuse.


    The two of them first went to the groceries section to pick out some fresh vegetables and meat that Su Jing liked to eat. Afterward, they pushed the cart to the daily necessities section.


    Su Jing had wanted Gu Jue to pick whatever he liked, but Gu Jue ended up picking out the cheapest items. Su Jing couldn¡¯t stand it any longer. She put the items back on the shelves and took whatever was the most expensive.


    Su Jing even lectured Gu Jue, ¡°Life is meant to be enjoyed. How can you be comfortable with those low-quality things?¡±


    Su Jing seemed to have forgotten that the things she used in the real world were not much better than those. This woman was simply a nouveau riche.


    ¡°But, Sister, I really don¡¯t need to use such good things¡­¡± Gu Jue tried to persuade Su Jing. Su Jing treated him too well, but he had his own motive to please her. This made him feel bad.


    ¡°Hey, if you continue to be like this, I¡¯m not going to be happy!¡± Su Jing pulled the cart forward and walked in front.


    She had just finished lecturing Gu Jue when she turned around and bumped into a sturdy chest.


    Su Jing¡¯s forehead hurt from the impact. She rubbed her forehead and was about to start scolding, but when she saw who it was, the words froze on the tip of her tongue.


    It was Qin Feng!

 Chapter 10

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Qin Feng had a friend by his side, and Su Jing recognized him. His name was Ma Hai, and he was an arrogant rich kid.


    Qin Feng gloomily covered the spot where Su Jing had bumped into him. He seemed to be very angry.


    Neither of them said anything after the collision, but Ma Hai spoke first.


    He pointed at Gu Jue, who was behind Su Jing, and said in a mocking tone, ¡°Su Jing, aren¡¯t you too desperate? You abandoned Young Master Qin at the birthday party. I thought you were going to do something new. In the end, you got yourself a male escort and bumped into Young Master Qin on purpose. What¡¯s wrong with you? Are you trying to make Young Master Qin jealous?¡±


    Su Jing had been crazy about pursuing Qin Feng back then. Now, Su Jing suddenly said that she would not continue to bother Qin Feng. No one believed her. Everyone thought that Su Jing was simply trying to find another way to attract Qin Feng¡¯s attention.


    After Ma Hai finished speaking, Qin Feng¡¯s face turned even darker, ¡°Su Jing, you have to have a limit. Don¡¯t make me feel even more disgusted with you.¡±


    Su Jing was unhappy when she heard this. She put her hands on her waist and retorted, ¡°Young Master Qin, can you not be so narcissistic? Does your family own this supermarket? I live here. Why can¡¯t I come to the supermarket?¡±


    In shock, Ma Hai looked at Su Jing, ¡°Su Jing, are you crazy? You knew perfectly well that Qin Feng owned the entire building. This supermarket was also a chain owned by the Qin family. Didn¡¯t you do everything you could to move upstairs because Qin Feng lived here?¡±


    ¡°Is that so?¡±


    Su Jing was a little confused. After all, these memories were not originally hers, and she was not used to them.


    ¡°Are you serious? Qin Feng moved to another place to hide from you. He only came here today to inspect the supermarket. I really don¡¯t know where you got such accurate information about his whereabouts.¡±


    Ma Hai¡¯s tone was unfriendly. He was sure that Su Jing was deliberately creating a chance encounter.


    Qin Feng approached Su Jing. He emitted a frightening aura.


    He said in a threatening and cold tone, ¡°Su Jing, I hope you can keep your promise and stop harassing me. Otherwise¡­¡±


    Before Qin Feng could finish his sentence, Su Jing was pulled into a thin yet warm embrace.


    Gu Jue had one hand on Su Jing¡¯s waist and the other in his pocket. He said unhappily, ¡°Sir, please stay away from my girlfriend.¡±


    Su Jing was initially surprised, but she quickly realized what Gu Jue meant. She wrapped her arms around Gu Jue¡¯s waist and rested her head on Gu Jue¡¯s shoulder.


    Gu Jue felt an electric current pass through his waist, and it made him feel numb.


    He tried his best to control his reaction in making his expression return to normal. Su Jing didn¡¯t know how much damage her charming face and body could do to a man.


    She said in a teasing tone, ¡°Young Master Qin, I really don¡¯t have the time to follow you. My boyfriend just moved in with me today. I¡¯m just here to buy some daily necessities with him.¡±


    Qin Feng glanced at the shopping cart beside him. There were indeed some daily necessities like toothbrushes, towels, slippers, and underwear in there. If this were an act, they would not have to go this far.


    ¡°Boyfriend? Are you kidding me? This kid is obviously underage. Even if you wanted to get an actor, you should get someone more believable.¡± Ma Hai obviously did not believe Su Jing.


    Su Jing rolled her eyes at him impatiently, ¡°Why are you so talkative? Why do you care who I like and who I am with? Are you interested in me?¡±


    ¡°I¡­¡± Ma Hai was rendered speechless.


    ¡°I¡¯m an adult, but I don¡¯t think I need to tell anyone about this except my girlfriend.¡± After speaking calmly, Gu Jue looked deeply into Su Jing¡¯s eyes.


    Qin Feng didn¡¯t know what was wrong with himself. Seeing the intimate actions between the two, he felt annoyed.


    He laughed disdainfully and said, ¡°Ha, of course, it has nothing to do with us who Miss Su likes to be with. However, I am very puzzled by Miss Su¡¯s behavior of forcing me to get married in the morning and then bringing another man back to live with her at night.. Could it be that Miss Su just can¡¯t live without a man?¡±

 Chapter 11

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Qin Feng¡¯s words really angered Su Jing. She found the man in front of her even more repulsive.


    Gu Jue could feel the woman in his arms trembling with anger. He patted her shoulder to calm her down before he glared at Qin Feng.


    He said, ¡°Please show some respect to my girlfriend!¡±


    ¡°Hey kid, don¡¯t be fooled by this woman¡¯s beauty. She is actually a wicked woman who would do anything to achieve her goals. If you stay with her, she might just end up eating you whole.¡±


    Qin Feng¡¯s words were directed at Su Jing. Su Jing could not help but notice ¨C was that a hint of anger in his eyes?


    Su Jing furrowed her brows. She was not sure if she was seeing things. Shouldn¡¯t Qin Feng be happy that she had a boyfriend?


    She would never pester him again. He was completely free. Su Jing didn¡¯t understand why he was angry.


    Ma Hai was also stunned. Qin Feng had always hated Su Jing, but he never interacted much with her. Even speaking to her would make him feel dirty.


    Why was Qin Feng so emotional today? Ma Hai was confused.


    ¡°Mr. Qin, as a gentleman, I don¡¯t think you should insult a lady without basis. I know what my girlfriend is like. I don¡¯t need to hear it from others. My girlfriend and I have never insulted you, yet you continue to insult my girlfriend. I wonder if your intentions are malicious?¡±


    Gu Jue¡¯s long fingers caressed Su Jing¡¯s head. His tone was steady but firm as he retorted.


    Su Jing looked at him in surprise. It turned out this kid was so good at confrontations. That really helped her vent her anger.


    Qin Feng was so furious that his face turned green. Ma Hai couldn¡¯t swallow his anger and wanted to provoke Gu Jue.


    He said, ¡°What are you so proud of? Do you think the woman in your arms really loves you? Don¡¯t you realize Young Master Qin only has to snap his fingers for her to come running back to his side?¡±


    Gu Jue held Su Jing¡¯s hand and brought it to his lips to give her a kiss. His gaze was affectionate, ¡°No matter how madly she loved someone, I don¡¯t care. I¡¯m only sure that from now on, I will be the one to accompany her.¡±


    Su Jing couldn¡¯t hold back the smile on her face. When she was reading the novel, why didn¡¯t she realize that Gu Jue was so good at sweet-talking?


    ¡°Do you think you are so amazing? Do you know who the person in front of you is? The person in charge of the Qin Corporation, Qin Feng! How dare you compete with him?¡±


    Ma Hai felt disdain for Gu Jue¡¯s blatant self-confidence. This kid was just very good-looking, but overall speaking, he was definitely no match for Qin Feng.


    ¡°When it comes to power, who in the entire city can compare to the Su family? Whomever I like totally depends on my mood. If I like someone today, I will treat him well. If I don¡¯t like someone, I¡¯ll kick him away. It¡¯s none of your business.¡± Su Jing deliberately belittled Qin Feng.


    As expected, Qin Feng¡¯s expression became darker and darker.


    In shock, Ma Hai looked at Gu Jue, ¡°What had she just said? She¡¯s obviously treating you like a plaything. Aren¡¯t you angry?¡±


    Gu Jue looked innocent, ¡°Why should I be angry? I¡¯m still young. I¡¯m confident that I can make Jingjing love me for two more years. When I reach Mr. Qin¡¯s age, even if Jingjing doesn¡¯t say anything, I will leave of my own accord. I won¡¯t let Jingjing feel disgusted just by looking at an old man.¡±


    Then, he took Su Jing¡¯s hand and placed it on his face. He said as if he was infatuated, ¡°Every day that Jingjing loves me is a gift to me.¡±


    Su Jing swallowed her saliva. Su Jing would have been disgusted to death by these words if it was anyone else. But when these words were said from Gu Jue¡¯s beautiful face, it sounded especially pleasant.


    ¡®An old man? How dare Gu Jue call him an old man?¡¯


    Qin Feng clenched his teeth tighter and tighter. What else could this kid have besides being young?


    ¡°Hey, you¡­!¡± Ma Hai wanted to say something else, but Qin Feng interrupted him.


    Qin Feng looked pissed and bitter. He said angrily, ¡°Shut up, let¡¯s go!¡±


    Every word Ma Hai said created an opportunity for Su Jing and Gu Jue to show their affection and belittle Qin Feng. Qin Feng couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He turned around to leave.


    Ma Hai quickly chased after him.


    ¡°Hmph! Do you want to pick a fight with me? You should see who you¡¯re talking to.¡± Su Jing looked at the backs of the two people as they left and said proudly..

 Chapter 12

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    After Qin Feng and Ma Hai walked far enough, Su Jing stood up straight and gave Gu Jue a high-five as if she was celebrating her victory.


    ¡°Little Jue, your acting was amazing. If you enter the entertainment industry, you will definitely be a movie star!¡± Su Jing praised him from the bottom of her heart.


    ¡°He¡¯s not good enough for you.¡± Gu Jue suddenly said.


    ¡°Huh? Are you talking about Qin Feng?¡± Su Jing was confused.


    Gu Jue nodded his head, ¡°That¡¯s right. Besides his family background, he doesn¡¯t have any other good qualities. He¡¯s not worthy of you.¡±


    He initially thought that the person that Su Jing liked would be outstanding. He didn¡¯t expect his impression of this person to be extremely bad.


    Su Jing was such a good person. He couldn¡¯t let Qin Feng hurt her!


    ¡°Yes, I also think that I must find someone a hundred times better than him in the future. That would piss him off!¡±


    Su Jing pushed the trolley and continued to walk forward. In her mind, she was picturing herself looking for a handsome man in the future.


    Suddenly, Gu Jue held her hands.


    Gu Jue looked at Su Jing with a clean and clear gaze, ¡°I will definitely become someone better than him in the future.¡±


    Su Jing¡¯s heart seemed to have been hit by something as it started to beat wildly.


    ¡®Was Gu Jue confessing to her?¡¯


    ¡°Little Jue¡­¡± Su Jing muttered his name, but she didn¡¯t know how to respond.


    Gu Jue smiled brightly, ¡°Let¡¯s go, Sister. Let¡¯s go pay the bill.¡±


    After speaking, Gu Jue pushed the shopping cart toward the supermarket¡¯s exit, not giving Su Jing a chance to speak.


    According to the original plot, Gu Jue would fall in love with the female lead in the future. So, did he only say that because she was nice to him and he was angry that Qin Feng insulted her?


    Su Jing followed behind Gu Jue, trying to convince herself.


    After the two of them paid the bill and returned home, Gu Jue carried the dishes to the kitchen, ¡°Go and rest for a while. I¡¯ll call you when I¡¯m done cooking.¡±


    Su Jing treated Gu Jue like a child. She was worried that he wouldn¡¯t be able to handle it on his own, so she followed him, ¡°I¡¯ll help you.¡±


    Just as Gu Jue was about to reject her, Su Jing pointed at his nose and said, ¡°Don¡¯t reject me. I won¡¯t be happy about it.¡±


    Gu Jue shut his mouth and smiled. His eyes were curved, and he looked extremely dazzling.


    Su Jing stared at him in a daze. This was the expression that this young man should have, not the gloomy, uneasy, and sad face when she first met him.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Sister?¡±


    Gu Jue stopped smiling and asked curiously.


    Su Jing came back to her senses and quickly found an excuse for her absent-mindedness, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s nothing. I was wondering where I put my apron.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it hanging in the cupboard?¡±


    Gu Jue pointed with his finger, and the apron was hanging in an obvious place.


    Su Jing felt a little awkward and explained with a smile, ¡°Haha, look at me. How sloppy I am. Let¡¯s not talk about it anymore. Hurry up and put on the apron, and cook. I¡¯m starving.¡±


    Su Jing quickly walked over and took the apron. She wanted to put it on.


    Gu Jue naturally took the apron to his hand, ¡°This is supposed to be tied at the back. It¡¯s not convenient for you to do it yourself. Let me help you.¡±


    Without waiting for Su Jing¡¯s reply, Gu Jue put on the apron for her.


    Su Jing didn¡¯t know if Gu Jue did it on purpose. The apron¡¯s straps were tied to her back, but he didn¡¯t go behind her. Instead, he put his arms around her waist and tied the apron gently.


    The two of them were flirty as if they were embracing.


    Gu Jue kept a distance between them and did not really touch her. However, his body scent is all that Su Jing could smell and think about.


    Su Jing felt the temperature around her rising. She involuntarily gulped and kept reminding herself in her mind.


    ¡®Gu Jue was just a kid, Gu Jue was just a kid! It was wrong to even think about it!¡¯


    Gu Jue felt Su Jing¡¯s stiffness, and an unnoticeable smile crept onto his lips.


    He leaned close to Su Jing¡¯s ear and said in a deep voice, ¡°Sister, you have a great body.¡±


    ¡°Pfft!¡± Su Jing felt her arteries almost exploding due to her boiling blood!

    Su Jing gently pushed Gu Jue away. She could not be so close to him any longer. Otherwise, she would die of the heat from herself.


    ¡°Let¡¯s cook.¡±


    Su Jing lowered her head and didn¡¯t dare to look Gu Jue in the eyes. She quickly walked over to the sink and washed her hands.


    Su Jing¡¯s reaction was so cute. Gu Jue¡¯s smile grew wider as he tried to savor the Su Jing¡¯s scent. He, too, walked over and began to process the ingredients.


    The original Su Jing did not know how to cook, so all the kitchen facilities were brand new and didn¡¯t have any signs of being used.


    As Gu Jue washed the vegetables, he asked her, ¡°Sister, how do you normally eat?¡±


    Su Jing helped him get some useful kitchen tools, ¡°I would order takeout or just eat out.¡±


    She was talking about the lifestyle of the original Su Jing. After all, she was the daughter of a rich family, so she did not want to cook for herself.


    As for Su Jing herself, although her cooking skills were not very good, she often cooked for herself in her free time. After all, it was too expensive to eat outside, so it was better to save as much as possible.


    ¡°It¡¯s not good for your health to always eat out, sister. From now on, I will cook something nice for you at home.¡±


    Gu Jue broke off the cabbage leaves in his hand and placed them into the basket.


    Su Jing looked at his face and recalled the flirtatious atmosphere a moment ago. Her face turned red, and she immediately turned her head away, ¡°Sure, sure.¡±


    Seeing her like this, Gu Jue realized his actions might have scared her, so he said in a low voice, ¡°You looked startled. Perhaps I need to control myself from now on.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Su Jing thought she heard Gu Jue speaking.


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Gu Jue shook his head and continued to process the ingredients.


    Su Jing didn¡¯t expect Gu Jue to be so good at cooking. There was not much she could help with.


    Gu Jue skillfully cut, stir-fried, seasoned, and placed the dishes on the plate. The only thing she could do was carry the dishes and place them on the dining table.


    Soon, Gu Jue finished cooking three dishes and a soup. The two of them sat around the dining table.


    Su Jing held a pair of chopsticks in her hand and took a deep sniff, ¡°It smells so good!¡±


    She picked up a piece of meat and ate it. It was tender, fresh, and fragrant. The taste was simply too amazing!


    She revealed a satisfied expression and said, ¡°Why are you so good at cooking? It¡¯s comparable to a chef from a five-star hotel!¡±


    Gu Jue helped Su Jing to fill a bowl of rice and handed it to her, ¡°If I didn¡¯t cook for the family at home, I wouldn¡¯t have anything to eat. That¡¯s why I¡¯ve been able to cook since I was young.¡±


    Listening to Gu Jue¡¯s experience, Su Jing suddenly felt a bitter taste in her mouth.


    Her heart ached as she filled Gu Jue¡¯s bowl with a lot of meat, ¡°Don¡¯t worry if you stay with me. If you want to cook, just do it. If you don¡¯t want to cook, I¡¯ll cook for you. Otherwise, we can go out and eat or buy some food. I won¡¯t let you starve.¡±


    Gu Jue also placed a lot of food into Su Jing¡¯s bowl and replied obediently, ¡°I know, sister. Thank you. You are the best person I¡¯ve ever met in my life.¡±


    Su Jing saw the sadness in Gu Jue¡¯s eyes and was afraid that he would recall bad memories. So, she comforted him, ¡°You still have a long life ahead of you. You will definitely meet better people in the future.¡±


    Gu Jue suddenly lowered his head and asked in a disappointed tone, ¡°Sister, are you rejecting me?¡±


    ¡®Why did he mention rejecting him? Did they talk about anything that needed to be rejected?¡¯


    Su Jing scratched her head and asked, ¡°Rejected? Are we talking about the same topic?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, I understand. Let¡¯s take it slow.¡± Gu Jue comforted Su Jing instead.


    Su Jing was extremely confused.


    ¡®What did he understand? What did he mean by taking it slow? Why was it that she couldn¡¯t understand what he was saying?¡¯


    Gu Jue took a bite of the food, chewed on it, and swallowed it.


    Time seemed to be playing at a slow speed. Su Jing watched as he swallowed the food and her throat felt dry. She couldn¡¯t help but swallow her saliva as well.


    Gu Jue bit on the tip of his chopsticks and asked her with his doe-like eyes, ¡°Can I call you Jingjing?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it nice to call me sister?¡± Su Jing liked when he called her sister, as he did it with a hint of teenage innocence.


    Gu Jue shook his head, ¡°No, I want to call you by your name..¡±

 Chapter 14

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Su Jing pursed her lips and pondered for a moment before she agreed, ¡°Alright, you can call me whatever you want.¡±


    Gu Jue was elated. He picked up a large piece of meat for Su Jing and said, ¡°OK, Jingjing.¡±


    Su Jing felt almost paralyzed by how her name came out of Gu Jue¡¯s mouth.


    After the two of them finished eating, Gu Jue rushed over to take care of the dirty dishes and let Su Jing sit down to rest. Su Jing couldn¡¯t compete with him, so she could only sit down and watch TV.


    The living room echoed with Su Jing¡¯s laughter as she watched variety shows. Gu Jue was doing the dishes in the kitchen, but his heart was full.


    Ever since he met Su Jing, he felt that the empty space in his heart was filled with something warm, making him feel at ease.


    ¡®Perhaps, this was the feeling of home?¡¯ Gu Jue liked this feeling very much.


    After Gu Jue cleaned up the kitchen, he walked out and said to Su Jing, ¡°Jingjing, I¡¯ve already cleaned up. I¡¯m going to take a shower first.¡±


    Su Jing turned around and pointed him in a direction, ¡°Okay, the bathroom is there. Remember to bring the new bath towel and soak it with hot water. The new one might not be so clean.¡±


    Gu Jue put his hands on the back of the sofa and leaned forward to look at Su Jing, ¡°Jingjing, don¡¯t treat me like a child. I¡¯m an adult man.¡±


    Su Jing¡¯s heartbeat quickened as he approached her. She nodded her head in shock.


    Gu Jue smiled in satisfaction and patted Su Jing on the head, ¡°Good girl, I¡¯m going to take a shower.¡±


    After speaking, Gu Jue turned around and walked towards the bathroom, leaving Su Jing alone to stare at his back in a daze.


    Su Jing raised her hand and touched the spot that Gu Jue had patted earlier. She muttered to herself, ¡°Is this kid flirting with me?¡±


    The sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom. Su Jing suddenly remembered that she had yet to clean up Gu Jue¡¯s room for him to sleep in at night. So, she turned off the TV and walked into the guest room.


    The guest room was relatively clean. Su Jing swiped the floor briefly before making the bed for Gu Jue.


    Su Jing specially chose Gu Jue¡¯s favorite dark blue bedsheet. As soon as she made the bed, the guest room door was pushed open by Gu Jue.


    Su Jing could tell from the sound that it was Gu Jue. She showed off what she had done to the room, ¡°Look, I¡¯ve arranged everything to your liking!¡±


    But when Su Jing turned around and saw Gu Jue at the door, her eyes widened in surprise.


    This guy only had a towel wrapped around his waist to cover his most intimate parts. His body was emitting steam, and his eight-pack abs seemed to be displaying his masculine charm.


    Su Jing did not expect Gu Jue, who looked so feeble and weak, to have such a good figure. His muscles were not big, but they were firm and smooth. His entire body was emitting a masculine, hormonal scent.


    Su Jing was a normal woman. If it weren¡¯t for her conscience trying to stop her and telling her that Gu Jue was just a kid, she would have already pushed Gu Jue down.


    Su Jing swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and her breathing became rapid.


    She avoided her gaze and said shyly, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you wearing any clothes?¡±


    Gu Jue did not seem to be shy. He did not hide and said matter-of-factly, ¡°I don¡¯t have any pajamas. I was just about to borrow them from you.¡±


    Su Jing patted her head, ¡°My bad. I forgot about it when we were at the supermarket. How about this, I¡¯ll give you mine first, and you make do with it. I¡¯ll get a new one tomorrow.¡±


    Gu Jue nodded his head, ¡°Okay, thank you, Jingjing.¡±


    Actually, he did not have the habit of wearing pajamas. However, he had to accept it when he thought about how he could fall asleep smelling Su Jing¡¯s scent.


    Su Jing didn¡¯t notice what Gu Jue was thinking. She covered her eyes with her hand and walked past Gu Jue.


    She involuntarily took a peek at Gu Jue¡¯s abdominal muscles at a close distance. Her nose almost bled. This guy¡¯s body was too seductive.


    Su Jing didn¡¯t realize that Gu Jue had already noticed that she was peeking at him. A sly smile appeared on his face..

 Chapter 15

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Gu Jue changed into Su Jing¡¯s pajamas and walked out of the guest room. He was a little awkward.


    The red silk nightgown looked tight and short on Gu Jue. Su Jing couldn¡¯t help but cover her mouth and giggle.


    Actually, she had loose and more fitting pajamas for Gu Jue, but she wanted to see how Gu Jue would look in a dress, so she chose this one on purpose.


    ¡°Don¡¯t laugh at me.¡± Gu Jue frowned and protested.


    Su Jing tried her best to keep her mouth shut and nodded in agreement, but a moment later, she couldn¡¯t help but burst out in laughter, ¡°Hahaha! You look so cute like this.¡±


    Gu Jue stepped forward and grabbed her hand, forcing her to a corner. His other hand supported the wall and trapped her between his arms.


    His gaze was dangerous and charming, ¡°Jingjing, you¡¯ll have to pay the price for making fun of me.¡±


    Su Jing looked at him, and her face flushed red. She was certain that this guy had other intentions toward her!


    ¡°Sorry, Little Jue, I was wrong. Let go of Sister¡¯s hand.¡±


    Su Jing immediately begged for mercy and tried to remind Gu Jue by changing how she addressed him.


    ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to be your little brother. I want to be¡­¡±


    Before Gu Jue could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the sound of the doorbell.


    ¡°Ring, Ring, Ring!¡±


    The person outside the door did not stop until someone would open the door.


    Gu Jue¡¯s brows were filled with annoyance, ¡°I¡¯ll go open the door.¡±


    Su Jing heaved a sigh of relief when Gu Jue let go of her, but at the same time, she felt a sense of disappointment. If it weren¡¯t for the sound of the doorbell, Gu Jue might have already kissed her.


    Just as Su Jing was lost in her thoughts, Gu Jue opened the door to the apartment. Outside the door stood a middle-aged woman with similar features to Su Jing.


    The woman frowned and looked into the house. She then stepped back to look at the house number.


    After confirming that this was Su Jing¡¯s apartment, she asked with a dark expression, ¡°Where¡¯s Su Jing?¡±


    Su Jing heard someone calling her and walked over. She realized it was her host¡¯s mother, Li Xiu, ¡°Mom? Why are you here?¡±


    Li Xiu rolled her eyes at Su Jing and looked at Gu Jue, ¡°Hmph, if I hadn¡¯t come, I might very well become a grandmother in a few months.¡±


    After being called out, Su Jing and Gu Jue finally realized how misleading their current situation was. Gu Jue was still wearing Su Jing¡¯s silk nightgown!


    ¡°Mom, let me explain!¡±


    Su Jing quickly took off her jacket and handed it to Gu Jue, trying to get him to cover himself up.


    ¡°Don¡¯t try to deny it. He¡¯s wearing your nightgown. You always said that you only loved Qin Feng, but I see that you¡¯re quite wild in private!¡±


    Li Xiu looked disgusted. She mistook Gu Jue for a male escort.


    ¡°Auntie, I¡¯m not a male escort.¡± Gu Jue smiled innocently as he explained his identity.


    ¡°Who you are has nothing to do with me. Be careful when you enter and leave Jingjing¡¯s residence. Don¡¯t let Young Master Qin discover your existence.¡±


    Li Xiu walked straight in and closed the door, afraid others would see them like this.


    Su Jing was shocked by Li Xiu¡¯s reaction. She actually didn¡¯t scold her?


    After Li Xiu entered the room, he kept sizing up Gu Jue, ¡°Is this why you ran away at today¡¯s birthday party and didn¡¯t announce your engagement to Young Master Qin?¡±


    Without waiting for Su Jing¡¯s response, Li Xiu turned his gaze to Su Jing and said, ¡°He does look good, but I have to remind you that he can¡¯t compare to Young Master Qin. You can fool around with him, but if you are serious about him, don¡¯t blame me for not recognizing you as my daughter and cutting off all your credit cards!¡±


    Cutting her off? Wouldn¡¯t that mean she wouldn¡¯t be a rich girl from a rich family?


    Su Jing quickly held onto Li Xiu¡¯s hand affectionately and said coquettishly, ¡°Mom, you¡¯ve misunderstood. We don¡¯t have that kind of relationship.¡±


    The light in Gu Jue¡¯s eyes dimmed.


    Li Xiu looked at her from the corner of her eyes. His gaze finally softened, ¡°That better be true. You¡¯re the daughter of the Su family. Only someone at Young Master Qin¡¯s level is worthy of you. Do you understand?¡±


    ¡°A person like Qin Feng is not worthy of Jingjing.¡± Gu Jue stood behind Li Xiu and spoke defiantly like a child.


    Su Jing was immediately alarmed. Why did Gu Jue interrupt at this time?


    Did he understand that if the two wanted to continue living, it would all depend on this woman in front of them?


    The original Su Jing didn¡¯t have any money of her own..

 Chapter 16

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Just as Su Jing was about to say something, Gu Jue spoke again.


    ¡°Besides his status, Qin Feng isn¡¯t good enough for Jingjing. I will catch up to him in the future, but I can¡¯t let Jingjing suffer by his side.¡±


    After speaking, Gu Jue walked over and grabbed Su Jing¡¯s hand. His gaze was gentle and firm as he looked at her.


    Su Jing was touched when she heard this, but she was completely shocked. At this moment, she wished she could find some tape to cover Gu Jue¡¯s mouth.


    He said some really nice words, but she wished he would not say another word.


    Li Xiu looked at Gu Jue from the side, ¡°You have no right to speak here.¡±


    Gu Jue wanted to say something more, but Su Jing quickly covered his mouth and pushed Gu Jue into the bedroom.


    ¡°Jingjing,¡± Gu Jue grabbed onto Su Jing¡¯s hand, his eyes filled with innocence and confusion.


    Su Jing couldn¡¯t bear to do this, so she let go of Gu Jue¡¯s hand.


    She said in a gentle tone, ¡°Little Jue, go into the room for a while. My mother and I have something to talk about in private. Be good.¡±


    After speaking, Su Jing pushed Gu Jue into the bedroom and closed the door.


    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that her host only knew how to have fun and didn¡¯t know how to work or save money, Su Jing wouldn¡¯t be so powerless in front of Li Xiu.


    Forget it. To live, she had no choice but to bow down to money.


    After Su Jing came out, Li Xiu coughed lightly, ¡°I don¡¯t care how you fool around. Just don¡¯t have an illegitimate bastard.¡±


    The corners of Su Jing¡¯s mouth twitched. The mother of her host was really open-minded!


    In reality, Su Jing¡¯s arrogance had a lot to do with Li Xiu. Li Xiu was a woman who was greedy for power and status. Li Xiu had educated Su Jing that all she needed to do was marry a rich and powerful husband in the future.


    She also pampered and spoiled Su Jing, causing her to have nothing else to do but squander and fall in love.


    Su Jing sighed helplessly. With a mother like her, it was no wonder she ended up like this.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t have anything to do with that kid.¡±


    ¡°Yes, you better not.¡± Li Xiu¡¯s response was extremely cold.


    She sat down on the sofa and questioned Su Jing, ¡°Today was such a good opportunity. Why didn¡¯t you let Qin Feng sign the contract?¡±


    About this matter, Li Xiu was confused.


    She remembered how happy her daughter was when she received the contract last night. She even wanted to marry Young Master Qin as soon as he signed the contract.


    ¡®How did her daughter¡¯s attitude change so quickly?¡¯


    ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry about Qin Feng and me. He doesn¡¯t like me anyway. There¡¯s no happiness in being together.¡±


    Su Jing really didn¡¯t want to have anything to do with Qin Feng. She couldn¡¯t tell Li Xiu that if she continued to get involved with Qin Feng, she would end up dead on the streets, right?


    Who would believe such a ridiculous reason?


    Hearing Su Jing¡¯s words, Li Xiu was furious, ¡°What do you mean? Are you trying to give up on Qin Feng? I¡¯m warning you. I will never agree to your marriage with that gigolo. You better put away your thoughts and continue to win Qin Feng¡¯s favor. Only the Qin family is worthy of the Su family!¡±


    ¡°Mom!¡± Su Jing wanted to retort but was interrupted by Li Xiu.


    She said, ¡°I¡¯ve already made arrangements. You are going to work at Qin Feng¡¯s company tomorrow. You better seize this opportunity and make sure Qin Feng falls in love with you.¡±


    Hearing this, Su Jing became anxious and immediately rejected, ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re not going?¡± Li Xiu looked at Su Jing in shock. This was the first time Su Jing disobeyed her orders.


    Su Jing did not want to go to her own death. She had just said that she was not going to pester him today, and now she was going to work at his company the next day? What is this nonsense?


    Li Xiu glanced at her, ¡°If you don¡¯t go, don¡¯t blame me for cutting off our mother-daughter relationship and cutting off all your sources of income.¡±


    ¡°Mom¡­¡± Su Jing dragged out her voice as she called out helplessly.


    She could live without anything except for money.


    Li Xiu stood up and looked at Su Jing lovingly, ¡°Don¡¯t even think about selling your luxury cars and jewelry in exchange for money. I¡¯ve already asked the housekeeper to put away the jewelry and lock the garage door.¡±


    Great, even her escape route was blocked!


    Su Jing had no choice but to agree, ¡°No, no, no, I¡¯m going to work at Qin Feng¡¯s company, okay?¡±


    ¡°Okay, it¡¯s settled then. Report on time tomorrow. Don¡¯t be late and dress up nicely.¡± Li Xiu walked to the door in satisfaction and didn¡¯t forget to remind her.


    Su Jing nodded her head reluctantly.

 Chapter 17

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    After Li Xiu left, Gu Jue walked out of the bedroom. Su Jing leaned helplessly on the sofa, thinking about how she should face Qin Feng the next day.


    She wouldn¡¯t have provoked him in the supermarket if she had known earlier. She would have had to see him every day now. It would be so embarrassing.


    Gu Jue looked at Su Jing, who was sitting on the sofa with a defeated look on her face. He bit his lip and walked over slowly, wrapping his arms around Su Jing¡¯s neck from behind.


    ¡°Jingjing, I¡¯m sorry,¡± Gu Jue apologized to her timidly.


    Su Jing was stunned by his intimate touch. She smiled awkwardly and said, ¡°Why are you apologizing to me? This has nothing to do with you.¡±


    Gu Jue let go of her after a while. He walked over and sat down beside Su Jing.


    He said, ¡°I¡¯ve already caused your mother almost to break off her relationship with you. Why don¡¯t I pack up my things and leave?¡±


    Gu Jue was an insecure person. He was always afraid of being abandoned by Su Jing. So, instead of doing that, he might as well leave on his own.


    Su Jing quickly held onto his shoulder to stop him, ¡°I¡¯ve already said it¡¯s none of your business. It¡¯s because of my family. Don¡¯t overthink it. This is your home. You can stay here as long as you want. No one can chase you away.¡±


    It wasn¡¯t easy for her to pick up this little villain. What if he got hurt and turned into a villain again?


    ¡°Jingjing, are you serious?¡± Gu Jue wanted to confirm what she had said.


    Su Jing nodded her head vigorously with a sincere look in her eyes, ¡°Since I¡¯ve agreed to let you stay here, I won¡¯t go back on my word. So don¡¯t worry.¡±


    As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Jue hugged her happily, ¡°Jingjing, you¡¯re so good to me.¡±


    Su Jing felt a little amused and helpless at the same time as Gu Jue hugged her.


    The next day.


    After saying goodbye to Gu Jue, Su Jing drove her car to Qin Feng¡¯s company according to her host¡¯s memory.


    As soon as she arrived, she saw the people sent by Li Xiu to watch her. After she parked her car, they handed Su Jing the things she needed to get into the company.


    ¡°Madam said that you should cherish this opportunity and not throw a tantrum with President Qin.¡± After the man finished speaking, he bowed respectfully and watched Su Jing walk into the building of the Qin Corporation.


    Su Jing took her things upstairs. She couldn¡¯t help but complain in her heart. Li Xiu actually sent someone to wait for her. There was no trust even between mother and daughter.


    Well, luckily, she did not run away.


    After Su Jing got into the elevator, she looked through the things in the bag.


    Her position was as a designer in the design department. Luckily, she had learned to draw in her spare time and should handle the work in a couple of days. This was the confidence of a straight-A student.


    After the elevator stopped, Su Jing walked out and ran into the person she didn¡¯t want to see the most¡ª Qin Feng.


    Su Jing stood still, thinking about how unlucky she was.


    ¡°I seem to remember someone saying yesterday that they would never pester me.¡±


    Qin Feng looked at the woman in a business suit and realized suddenly that she looked beautiful in a workplace setting.


    Although Su Jing was smiling, she was cursing in her heart. She replied, ¡°I am now an employee of your company. If Young Master Qin thinks that I¡¯m here to pester you, you can fire me.¡±


    The host¡¯s mother only told her to come to work. She didn¡¯t say what would happen if she was fired.


    Su Jing waved the thing in her hand so Qin Feng could see it clearly.


    Qin Feng looked at the thing in Su Jing¡¯s hand and the name tag on her chest and said in a disdainful tone, ¡°You¡¯re just trying to pester me in another way. Miss Su, you don¡¯t have to act so decently.¡±


    Actually, Qin Feng already knew that she wanted to work in his company. Li Xiu came to him and asked him to give Su Jing a chance to learn. Qin Feng was the one who personally arranged the position of designer for Su Jing.


    However, Qin Feng¡¯s goal was to make Su Jing look bad and let her know the difference between the two of them.


    ¡°I wouldn¡¯t go so far as to fire you. After all, I¡¯m quite interested in what Miss Su¡¯s next step will be. Do your best.¡±


    Qin Feng leaned close to Su Jing¡¯s ear and whispered in her ear before he left with a disgusted expression.


    Su Jing looked at Qin Feng¡¯s back as he disappeared into the distance. She couldn¡¯t hide the disappointment on her face.. She didn¡¯t expect Qin Feng to take it lying down and not fire her!

 Chapter 18

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    After Su Jing arrived at the design department, she glanced at her colleagues. They were all busy with their work, so they simply glanced at their new colleague and continued working.


    Almost all of them knew Su Jing, but Qin Feng told them not to interact with her, so they didn¡¯t dare say a word.


    Su Jing was actually glad that she did not have to interact with others.


    However, Su Jing quickly lost her optimism. She had guessed that Qin Feng would not let her touch the core and important work in his company, but she didn¡¯t expect that Qin Feng would not let her do anything at all.


    Even when she tried to look for something to do independently, her supervisor and colleagues wouldn¡¯t let her do anything.


    Was Qin Feng planning to bore her to death?


    Soon, it was time for lunch. Su Jing walked out of the design department feeling bored. Along the way, she attracted a lot of attention.


    Su Jing¡¯s host was well known for pursuing Qin Feng. Previously, she often came to the company to pester Qin Feng endlessly, so almost all Qin Feng¡¯s company employees knew her.


    ¡°Oh my gosh, this Su Jing is too thick-skinned. Didn¡¯t she already have a new lover? Why is she still bothering President Qin?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t understand why President Qin agreed to let her join the company.¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t Su Jing just relying on her family background? In terms of talent, she can¡¯t even compare to Lin Yi.¡±


    Su Jing heard the chatter around her. She turned her head in annoyance, but those people shut their mouths and pretended as nothing had happened.


    However, just as Su Jing turned her head around, the chatter started again.


    ¡°Do you even know how to talk behind people¡¯s backs? I can hear you.¡±


    Su Jing couldn¡¯t stand being looked at and discussed like a monkey by a group of people, so she turned around and scolded them.


    Why did she have to suffer the consequences of her host¡¯s action?


    ¡°Well, it is my mouth, and I can say anything I want. Does Miss Su think she could bully others into silence?¡± A girl looked at Su Jing arrogantly.


    Su Jing turned around and looked at the girl, ¡°Didn¡¯t your mother teach you to be respectful? Not to gossip is the most basic manners.¡±


    The elevator reached the ground floor, and the door slowly opened.


    Su Jing was the first to walk out. The girl continued, ¡°It¡¯s lunchtime. So what if I tell my colleagues some gossip? Since you dared to do it, how could you stop people from talking about it?¡±


    Just as Su Jing was about to speak, she saw a familiar figure carrying a lunch box walking in.


    ¡°Jingjing!¡± Gu Jue seemed to have heard what the girl said and hurried over.


    When the girl saw Gu Jue, her eyes were filled with surprise. This was the first time she had seen such a handsome boy.


    ¡°You are not allowed to bully Jingjing!¡± Gu Jue pulled Su Jing behind him and put on a fierce expression.


    Su Jing tugged at the corner of Gu Jue¡¯s shirt, ¡°Little Jue, it¡¯s fine.¡±


    She could handle it herself, and she did not want to involve Gu Jue.


    Gu Jue said, ¡°Do you think you know someone just because you heard something? You all are just jealous of Jingjing because you¡¯re not as good as her.¡±


    Gu Jue couldn¡¯t stand seeing Su Jing suffer like this. In his eyes, Su Jing was the best!


    Some people around them were disdainful, and some were silent. In reality, they only knew Su Jing from what they heard from others or what they saw online. No one was actually close to Su Jing.


    Everyone looked at Gu Jue and thought about the rumor that Su Jing was going to give up on Qin Feng because of a new lover.


    The boy in front of them must be Su Jing¡¯s new lover.


    Looking at Gu Jue¡¯s appearance and how he protected Su Jing, everyone thought it was reasonable for Su Jing to give up on Qin Feng for him.


    At this moment, Qin Feng suddenly appeared. He saw the young man that appeared with Su Jing in the supermarket yesterday. He even had a lunch box in his hand.


    Qin Feng also heard the whispers of the employees. He looked at Gu Jue and found him an eyesore.


    ¡°Su Jing, this is an office, not a place for you to have a date. The next time you bring some random person to the office, you won¡¯t have a job anymore.¡± Qin Feng said angrily and left the crowd.


    For some reason, the people around seemed to detect a hint of jealousy.


    Why was President Qin jealous? Didn¡¯t he dislike Su Jing?


    That man¡¯s heart was really hard to read.


    Su Jing wanted to say that Gu Jue was not some promiscuous man, but Qin Feng had already walked away.


    ¡°Jingjing, I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ve caused you trouble again. Actually, I just wanted to bring you lunch,¡± Gu Jue apologized profusely. His eyes were slightly red.


    Of course, Su Jing wouldn¡¯t blame Gu Jue. She simply smiled and patted the boy¡¯s head, ¡°It¡¯s fine. You know very well that Qin Feng is just an angry maniac. Don¡¯t take his words to heart.¡±


    After saying that, she held Gu Jue¡¯s hand and left the office..

 Chapter 19

    Su Jing brought Gu Jue to the rooftop of the building. Gu Jue¡¯s face was full of sadness. On the other hand, Su Jing was still able to smile.


    He raised his head and looked into Su Jing¡¯s eyes, ¡°They said such harsh words. Don¡¯t you feel hurt?¡±


    ¡°I do, but what¡¯s the use of feeling hurt? That would only make them even happier. It¡¯s useless. Let bygones be bygones. There¡¯s no need to overthink.¡±


    Su Jing¡¯s words were both an attempt to explain her feelings and an attempt to persuade Gu Jue.


    She knew that Gu Jue was hurt because he thought about what had happened to him.


    The insults that Gu Jue had to endure since he was young were much worse than what she had received. That was why Gu Jue could relate and felt sorry for her.


    Gu Jue observed Su Jing attentively. He wanted to see if she was really as carefree and unbothered as she said. All he saw was a smile and gentleness in her eyes.


    Most of the haze in his heart disappeared.


    ¡°Alright, hurry up and eat. I¡¯m starving to death.¡±


    Su Jing felt embarrassed by Gu Jue¡¯s gaze. Her ears turned slightly red as she tried to find an excuse to avoid Gu Jue¡¯s gaze.


    It was only then that Gu Jue remembered what he wanted to do. He quickly handed the lunch box to Su Jing.


    Su Jing took the box and said, ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to bring me lunch. The office has a cafeteria.¡±


    ¡°But I want to make it for you.¡± Gu Jue¡¯s expression was filled with the stubbornness of a teenager.


    Su Jing could not do anything about that. She smiled dotingly, ¡°Okay, you can do whatever you want.¡±


    Gu Jue smiled happily.


    After the two finished their lunch, Gu Jue suggested picking Su Jing up from work tonight. After speaking, he did not give Su Jing a chance to reject him. He carried the lunch box and ran away while waving his hand at Su Jing.


    Su Jing could only let him be.


    As soon as she returned to the office, Su Jing saw her ¡°bestie¡± Fang Ke walking towards her. She almost forgot that Fang Ke was also working in Qin Feng¡¯s company.


    ¡°Jingjing, you¡¯re amazing!¡± Fang Ke suppressed her jealousy and hatred towards Su Jing and pretended to be happy.


    Su Jing furrowed her brows in confusion. She wanted to get as far away from Fang Ke as possible.


    ¡°You played this tactic so well. I was wondering why you were willing to give up on President Qin. It turns out that you changed your strategy. Where did you find that handsome actor? Just now, President Qin was so angry that he didn¡¯t even eat. He was throwing a tantrum in his office.¡±


    Fang Ke acted like she was very close to Su Jing. It was as if she had forgotten how Su Jing revealed Fang Ke¡¯s feelings for Qin Feng at the party yesterday.


    It was as if the two of them had never had a fight, and their relationship had always been good.


    Su Jing looked unhappy, ¡°I didn¡¯t change my strategy or plan anything. I¡¯ve really given up on Qin Feng. Whether he¡¯s angry or not has nothing to do with me.¡±


    Hearing her response, Fang Ke narrowed her eyes, ¡°I don¡¯t believe you. You liked Brother Qin Feng so much. How could you give up so easily?¡±


    Fang Ke was once Su Jing¡¯s best friend. Fang Ke knew how deep Su Jing¡¯s feelings for Qin Feng were, so she didn¡¯t believe that Su Jing would give up on Qin Feng.


    ¡°It was just a phase, and now I am over him. Don¡¯t take it so seriously.¡± Su Jing replied calmly as if she was talking about something as normal as eating and drinking.


    ¡°Don¡¯t lie to me just because you heard other people talking about how I like Qin Feng. I¡¯m your best friend. How could I like the man you like?¡±


    Fang Ke thought Su Jing was mad at her because Su Jing found out that she also liked Qin Feng. However, there was no evidence to support it. As such, Fang Ke thought that as long as she coaxed Su Jing like she always did, Su Jing would be fine.


    After all, Su Jing had a bad temper and a bad personality. Su Jing didn¡¯t have any friends except Fang Ke. Fang Ke thought that she would surely be forgiven.


    ¡°It¡¯s none of my business who you like. I just need you to stay away from me from now on and not appear in front of me.¡±


    Su Jing looked like she was afraid of her and wanted to chase her away.


    Most of the bad things the original Su Jing had done in the past were instigated by Fang Ke. Su Jing felt that staying away from Fang Ke was even more important than staying away from Qin Feng if she wanted to make it alive to the end of the story.


    Fang Ke was also furious. If Su Jing wasn¡¯t still useful to her, she wouldn¡¯t have begged and coaxed Su Jing this way.


    Fang Ke suppressed her anger and said to Su Jing, ¡°I knew you were still mad at me. Hang on. I¡¯ll show you something good.¡±


    Su Jing frowned, ¡°What?¡±


    Su Jing knew that whatever it was, it could not be good..

 Chapter 20 - Fang Ke鈥檚 Evil Plan

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Fang Ke covertly took out a folder and looked around to ensure no one was looking at her. After that, she handed the folder to Su Jing.


    She said to Su Jing in a low voice, ¡°Open it and take a look. It¡¯s good stuff.¡±


    A devilish smile appeared on Fang Ke¡¯s face.


    Su Jing opened the folder and took a look. There was nothing special about it. It was just some design drafts. As an outsider, Su Jing thought they looked quite good.


    Why did this scene feel familiar?


    Su Jing asked cautiously, ¡°What are you trying to do?¡±


    Fang Ke leaned into Su Jing¡¯s ear and whispered, ¡°These are all the unpublished drafts of Lin Yi¡¯s designs. The design submission is in a few days. If we hand the manuscripts over to the company before she does, we¡¯ll see what she has to say. If she dares to claim that the drafts are hers, we¡¯ll accuse her of plagiarism and chase her out of the company!¡±


    As expected, Fang Ke was up to no good. She was actually planning to frame Lin Yi. Su Jing finally remembered the plot of the story.


    In the original plot, Su Jing managed to get engaged with Qin Feng and worked at Qin Corporation as his fianc¨¦e. However, when she realized that Lin Yi and Qin Feng had a special relationship, she became jealous.


    Fang Ke noticed Su Jing¡¯s jealousy. To get closer to Su Jing, she stole Lin Yi¡¯s drafts and suggested to Su Jing that she chase Lin Yi out of the company.


    Su Jing failed to frame Lin Yi, but Fang Ke pushed all the blame onto Su Jing. Unfortunately, Su Jing had no evidence and could only take the blame. In the end, she was branded as a plagiarist and was removed from the design industry. She ended up in a miserable state.


    Su Jing quickly dismissed the idea. She didn¡¯t want this tragedy to happen again.


    ¡°Your idea is not bad.¡± Su Jing pretended to praise Fang Ke¡¯s plan.


    After hearing Su Jing¡¯s response, Fang Ke thought her plan had succeeded, and she had gained Su Jing¡¯s friendship. She was extremely proud of herself.


    ¡°It¡¯s Lin Yi¡¯s fault for pestering Brother Qin Feng every day. I am your best friend. I will definitely help you clear the obstacles.¡±


    Fang Ke made it sound like she was doing this for some kind of justice. In reality, she simply wanted to use Su Jing¡¯s hands to get rid of Lin Yi. It would be best if Su Jing were dragged down by Lin Yi, solving her two big problems at once.


    ¡°In that case, I have to thank you.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. We are sisters. Let¡¯s not talk about this nonsense.¡± Fang Ke did not sense the sarcasm in Su Jing¡¯s words.


    At this moment, Lin Yi happened to pass them by. Fang Ke nervously tried to hide the stolen design drafts behind her, but Su Jing stopped her.


    ¡°Designer Lin, I have something to tell you.¡±


    As soon as Su Jing said this, Fang Ke stared at her with her eyes wide open. She didn¡¯t know what Su Jing was trying to do.


    Lin Yi stopped in her tracks and walked up to Su Jing. She asked coldly, ¡°What is it?¡±


    Lin Yi thought Su Jing was here to cause trouble. She recently returned to China, and Qin Feng had hired her as the lead designer with a high salary. The company had been spreading rumors that she was having an affair with Qin Feng.


    Since Su Jing was madly in love with Qin Feng, she wasn¡¯t surprised to come looking for trouble.


    Under Fang Ke¡¯s intense glare, Su Jing handed the folder to Lin Yi.


    ¡°What is this?¡±


    Lin Yi took the folder in confusion and opened it to take a look. The more she looked at it, the grimmer her expression became.


    These were all manuscripts that she had never released to the public!


    ¡°Fang Ke stole the drafts when you weren¡¯t looking. She brought it to me and tried to conspire with me to frame you. But, I feel that doing so is against the professional ethics of a designer. So, I don¡¯t want to do that.¡±


    Su Jing¡¯s voice sounded clear and unequivocal as she explained the truth to Lin Yi.


    Fang Ke was too shocked to say a word. Did Su Jing know what she was talking about?! Was she crazy?


    Su Jing looked at Fang Ke¡¯s expression and felt satisfied. The corners of her lips curled up.. Hmph, try harder next time, Little Sister!

 Chapter 21 - Why Did You Help Me?

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Lin Yi was suspicious about Su Jing¡¯s honesty. Was this some other kind of ploy between Su Jing and Fang Ke?


    She recalled someone had told her that Su Jing and Fang Ke were good friends, so why would Su Jing turn in her good friend to help her?


    ¡°That¡¯s right. These are indeed my drafts.¡±


    Lin Yi closed the folder and looked at Su Jing.


    These drafts were very important to Lin Yi. This was the first series of designs she had prepared when she joined the company. She had put a lot of effort into it. All she wanted was to shut the mouths of those who said that she had relied on her improper relationship with Qin Feng.


    The design evaluation day was approaching. If there were any problems with the drafts, her career as a designer would suffer a huge blow.


    ¡°Crazy, she¡¯s definitely crazy.¡±


    Fang Ke, who had recovered from her shock, muttered. She felt that Su Jing must have gone crazy to do something like that.


    Su Jing pushed the dazed Fang Ke in front of Lin Yi and said, ¡°She is the mastermind behind this incident. I¡¯ll hand her over to you. You can deal with her as you see fit.¡±


    Fang Ke shook her head in fear and tried to explain herself with a flattering smile, ¡°Sister Lin Yi, listen to me. This is not what happened. I have no reason to harm you!¡±


    ¡°I wonder who just told me, ¡®who told that b*tch Lin Yi to pester Brother Qin Feng every day? I¡¯m your best friend. Will I help you clear the obstacles?¡¯ I wonder if that counts as a reason?¡±


    Su Jing mimicked Fang Ke¡¯s tone and revealed her motive.


    Fang Ke was so astonished that her face turned pale. Why did Su Jing do this to her? Was it because she liked Qin Feng?


    It had to be. Su Jing was such a petty person. It must be because she knew that she liked Qin Feng and held a grudge against her. Su Jing never forgave her.


    After thinking this through, Fang Ke immediately put on a pitiful expression, looked at Su Jing, and said, ¡°Jing Jing, you can¡¯t hate me and frame me just because you heard that I liked President Qin, right? I really don¡¯t want to compete with you for President Qin. Please let me go.¡±


    Su Jing raised her eyebrows. Not bad. Fang Ke actually thought of a way out.


    Lin Yi held the folder in her hand as she watched the two besties confront each other. She wanted to see what they were up to.


    ¡°Don¡¯t try to turn this on me. It doesn¡¯t matter to me who you like. I don¡¯t even like President Qin. Why don¡¯t you just admit what you did?¡± Su Jing threw the ball back to Fang Ke.


    When it became clear to Fang Ke that Su Jing was not so easy to deal with, she turned to Lin Yi and said, ¡°Sister Lin Yi, trust me. I didn¡¯t steal your drafts. It¡¯s just a misunderstanding between Su Jing and me. She¡¯s unhappy with me and wants to make things difficult for me.¡±


    Seeing Fang Ke¡¯s wronged and pitiful face, Su Jing almost believed her words. It was as if Fang Ke was being bullied by herself.


    ¡°Lin Yi, let me give you a suggestion. Report this matter to the company and let the company investigate it properly and handle it fairly.¡±


    Su Jing did not want to continue tangling with Fang Ke, so she thought of a solution.


    Seeing how honest and fearless Su Jing was, Lin Yi believed that this matter had nothing to do with Su Jing.


    Fang Ke was extremely nervous. She couldn¡¯t let Lin Yi report this matter to the company. If the truth came out, she would be in big trouble.


    She looked at Lin Yi with a pleading expression, ¡°Sister Lin Yi, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need to report this incident to the company. After all, your drafts haven¡¯t been leaked out yet. If this incident were exposed, it wouldn¡¯t be good for our company, so¡­¡±


    There was only one last straw left for Fang Ke. She definitely had to drag Lin Yi down with her.


    ¡°If you didn¡¯t do anything wrong, I think Su Jing has a point. I will report this incident to the company.¡±


    Lin Yi did not go easy on Fang Ke. It was clear from Su Jing and Fang Ke¡¯s attitude it was most likely that Fang Ke was the one behind this.


    Hearing this, Fang Ke fell back into her chair. She felt like her life was about to collapse. If the truth was revealed, her job would be over.


    Lin Yi ignored Fang Ke and looked at Su Jing curiously, ¡°Why are you helping me?¡±


    She really couldn¡¯t figure out why a vicious person like Su Jing would be on her side..

 Chapter 22 - A Deeper Misunderstanding

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Strictly speaking, Su Jing did this mostly for herself. However, since Lin Yi asked, she might as well gain Lin Yi¡¯s favor.


    ¡°Because I really admire your talent. I can¡¯t bear to see your work be desecrated.¡± Su Jing smiled sweetly and complimented Lin Yi.


    Lin Yi¡¯s character was quite good in the original book. If Su Jing could get on good terms with Lin Yi, she would be one step closer to achieving a happy ending.


    Lin Yi didn¡¯t expect Su Jing, who was always proud and unyielding, to say that she admired her talent. This wasn¡¯t like Su Jing at all.


    Lin Yi was also a straightforward person. She said, ¡°You don¡¯t believe this yourself, do you? Although I don¡¯t know if you are up to something, I will tell President Qin about this and ask him to give the two of you a fair verdict.¡±


    After speaking, Lin Yi left Su Jing¡¯s office. Su Jing ignored the petrified Fang Ke and left for the pantry.


    Lin Yi went to Qin Feng¡¯s office and told him everything that had happened. She asked him to help her investigate the matter.


    Qin Feng felt that the matter wasn¡¯t simple and thought it had something to do with Su Jing. He immediately asked his assistant, He Qi, to investigate the matter.


    Just as they were about to leave work, Su Jing and Fang Ke were called to Qin Feng¡¯s office.


    Lin Yi and Qin Feng were inside.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you both a chance. If you confess your wrongdoing, I can give you a chance to stay in the company.¡±


    Qin Feng placed his hands on the table, and his gaze was as sharp as an eagle¡¯s.


    Fang Ke¡¯s body trembled as she looked around. She wondered if she should tell them the truth, but she was afraid that Qin Feng was trying to trick them.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already told Lin Yi what I need to tell her. I¡¯m sure she has told you as well. Other than that, I have nothing else to say.¡± Su Jing expressed her position in a direct and straightforward manner.


    ¡°What about you?¡± Qin Feng¡¯s gaze drifted over to Fang Ke.


    Fang Ke was so terrified that she trembled again. There was a moment of silence. After a minute, Fang Ke began to put on a big show.


    It didn¡¯t matter. The surveillance camera beside Lin Yi¡¯s office was already broken. They couldn¡¯t find any evidence to prove that it was Fang Ke anyway!


    ¡°Boss, why would I steal the design drafts?¡±


    Fang Ke tears fell one after another as if she had been wronged.


    ¡°I was framed!¡±


    Fang Ke wiped her tears away. Her expression was pitiful.


    Su Jing quietly watched her act. It was a waste of her talent not to become an actress.


    Qin Feng hated it when people pretended to be pitiful and lied before him. He scolded, ¡°Shut up! You still don¡¯t want to admit it, do you?¡±


    Fang Ke was shocked by his voice. Her tears turned into sobs.


    Qin Feng pressed the remote control, and a screen appeared on the wall. Qin Feng pressed the play button again.


    The screen started to show a video of Lin Yi¡¯s office.


    The video clearly showed Fang Ke sneaking into Lin Yi¡¯s office, taking photos of Lin Yi¡¯s manuscript, and then putting everything back in place.


    ¡°The surveillance camera outside my office is broken, but I have a habit of installing cameras in my office.¡± Lin Yi crossed her legs and said calmly.


    Her design drafts had been stolen by someone else before, so she retained this habit. However, she didn¡¯t expect it to come in handy.


    Faced with solid evidence, there was no room for argument.


    Fang Ke knelt in front of Lin Yi and begged, ¡°Sister Lin Yi, I was forced by someone. Trust me. I didn¡¯t mean to steal your design.¡±


    ¡°You changed your script again? Tsk, there are too many inconsistencies in your story, aren¡¯t there?¡± Su Jing did not mind the drama and was mocked.


    Fang Ke turned around and glared at Su Jing.


    ¡°Su Jing, I don¡¯t think you¡¯re any better. Fang Ke¡¯s words may not be a lie. I suspect that both of you are in on this.¡±


    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement. He finally had something on Su Jing.


    Su Jing looked speechless, ¡°The evidence is so obvious, yet you still want to slander me? I strongly suspect that you are trying to take revenge.¡±


    ¡°Ha, one of you is pretending to be a good person, while the other is pretending to be bad. Isn¡¯t your goal to gain Lin Yi¡¯s trust? You are definitely involved in this matter.¡±


    Qin Feng was certain that Su Jing had other intentions because that was more like Su Jing¡¯s style.


    Lin Yi pondered when she heard what Qin Feng said. Indeed, this explanation seemed to make more sense..

 Chapter 23 - Fang Ke鈥檚 True Colors Revealed

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°Why do I need to gain Lin Yi¡¯s trust? What¡¯s in it for me?¡± Su Jing tried to convince Qin Feng.


    ¡°Who knows? Maybe you¡¯re jealous of Lin Yi because we have a good relationship. So, you thought of a way to gain her trust so that you can sabotage her one day.¡± Qin Feng spread his hands and said in a teasing tone.


    ¡°The design drafts are already in my hands. Why do I have to go around in circles and think of other ways to sabotage her?¡± Su Jing was astounded.


    Why did Qin Feng suddenly become so dumb? Perhaps, he was just trying to pick on her?


    Qin Feng was obviously taken aback by Su Jing¡¯s question. His expression changed as he said, ¡°Maybe you¡¯re stupid and didn¡¯t think of a better way.¡±


    Su Jing felt something wrong with Qin Feng, ¡°I think you have a serious illness. Fine, you can say that I had something to do with it. Where¡¯s the evidence? Throw the evidence in my face, and I¡¯ll admit it!¡±


    A trace of panic flashed across Qin Feng¡¯s cold face.


    Su Jing continued, ¡°President Qin, yes, I used to like you, but I¡¯m no longer interested in you. You should put away your thoughts and resolve this problem reasonably.¡±


    Lin Yi couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud. This was the first time she saw Qin Feng speechless in a confrontation.


    Qin Feng stood up and tidied his tie as if trying to hide something. Fang Ke looked at Qin Feng with tears in her eyes.


    ¡®Maybe she had a chance to drag Su Jing down with her!¡¯


    As this thought flashed through her mind, Fang Ke immediately rejected it.


    Even if Su Jing left the Qin Corporation, she would still be the daughter of the Su family. If she dragged her down with her, it wouldn¡¯t cause her any real harm. Instead, it would make Su Jing hate her. If that happened, she would not even have the chance to get close to Qin Feng.


    Fang Ke clenched her fists tightly and suppressed the thought of dragging Su Jing into this mess. The office fell into silence.


    After a while, Lin Yi broke the silence, ¡°President Qin, quickly come up with a solution. It¡¯s almost time to get off work. I still have something to do in a while.¡±


    Su Jing looked at him with an unpleasant expression, ¡°President Qin, please let the evidence speak for itself. Don¡¯t use your imagination.¡±


    Qin Feng rolled his eyes at Su Jing. He wanted to take this opportunity to teach Su Jing a lesson, but he didn¡¯t have a suitable excuse. Moreover, he was afraid that the Su family would come looking for him.


    Fang Ke kept her mouth shut and didn¡¯t dare to make a sound.


    Qin Feng pondered for a while and said, ¡°Fang Ke¡¯s actions have seriously harmed the company¡¯s interests and Miss Lin Yi¡¯s personal rights. So, Fang Ke, you are fired.¡±


    Fang Ke fell to the ground helplessly. She glanced at Su Jing, her heart filled with resentment. However, she couldn¡¯t show it.


    ¡°As for you,¡± Qin Feng walked toward Su Jing with a fierce gaze, ¡°You better not let me find evidence that you are an accomplice. Otherwise, I won¡¯t let you off.¡±


    Su Jing¡¯s lips twitched, ¡°Unless President Qin fabricates evidence, you won¡¯t be able to find something that doesn¡¯t exist.¡±


    Qin Feng was insulted again. He turned around and suppressed his anger, ¡°Get lost.¡±


    Su Jing turned around and left. Fang Ke also stood up and covered her face as she left.


    Su Jing arrived at the office entrance and waited for Gu Jue. However, a voice called out to her from behind.


    ¡°Su Jing!¡± The voice was filled with anger.


    Su Jing turned around. It was Fang Ke.


    Fang Ke walked up to Su Jing angrily and questioned her, ¡°I did this for you. Why did you betray me and get me fired? I treated you so well, yet you did this to me! Did you give up our sisterly relationship because of a rumor?¡±


    On one hand, she wanted to know why Su Jing would do this to her. On the other hand, she wanted to use this opportunity to make Su Jing feel guilty and try to restore their relationship.


    ¡°Treated me well? You called me stupid behind my back. You lied to me that my investment had failed when in fact, you had taken the money for yourself, and you spat in my coffee. Am I wrong on any of these things?¡±


    Su Jing did not want to be entangled with Fang Ke anymore. So, she decided to put everything on the table so that Fang Ke wouldn¡¯t bother her in the future.


    Fang Ke stepped back involuntarily and was astonished. How did Su Jing find out about all these?


    She couldn¡¯t lose Su Jing! She couldn¡¯t let Su Jing go after her for these!


    Fang Ke immediately changed her attitude and grabbed Su Jing¡¯s hand, ¡°Don¡¯t listen to rumors. I¡¯m your best friend.. Why would I do such things?¡±

 Chapter 24 - Gu Jue Misunderstood

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°My best friend?¡±


    Su Jing¡¯s eyes flashed with bewilderment.


    Fang Ke looked helpless, ¡°That¡¯s right, have you forgotten? I¡¯m the only one who truly treats you as a friend. Someone must be jealous of us, so they spread rumors to destroy our relationship.¡±


    Hearing this, Su Jing let out a sigh.


    Fang Ke looked at Su Jing and thought she had changed her mind. Fang Ke laughed and thought to herself, ¡®What an idiot, how could she be so gullible!¡¯


    ¡°I initially wanted to save your face, but you didn¡¯t want it. I didn¡¯t hear those things from other people, but I have evidence.¡± There was a hint of animosity in Su Jing¡¯s eyes, but they quickly returned to normal.


    Fang Ke¡¯s smiling face froze. This was different from what she expected.


    ¡°Don¡¯t pester me anymore, or I will take the evidence to the court and sue you for fraud. The money you cheated me out of is enough for you to spend eight to ten years in prison.¡±


    Fang Ke¡¯s hands were shaking. She wanted to pull Su Jing¡¯s shoulders, ¡°Jingjing, this is all a misunderstanding. I can explain¡­¡±


    Fang Ke looked distressed. Su Jing avoided her hand and saw Gu Jue driving her Porsche over.


    Su Jing was annoyed by Fang Ke¡¯s pestering, but she still waved at Gu Jue happily, ¡°Little Jue!¡±


    Then, she ignored Fang Ke and ran toward Gu Jue.


    Gu Jue parked the car in front of her and got out of the car to stand in front of Su Jing, ¡°You¡¯re off work so early? I thought I would arrive earlier than you.¡±


    Su Jing looked behind her and covered her mouth as she said softly, ¡°Something happened today. I¡¯ll tell you about it when I get back. I ran into a person that I hate so much, and I can¡¯t get rid of her.¡±


    ¡°Get in the car. Let¡¯s go back.¡± Gu Jue went to the passenger¡¯s side and opened the door for Su Jing.


    Su Jing saw that Fang Ke was about to follow her, and she pointed at her, ¡°Don¡¯t bother me again. Otherwise, I¡¯ll see you in court!¡±


    Fang Ke stopped in her tracks and did not dare to go forward. Gu Jue also got into the car. The two of them left Fang Ke behind.


    On the way, Su Jing and Gu Jue started chatting.


    ¡°Do you have any plans for the future?¡± Su Jing tilted her head to look at him.


    According to the timeline in the original book, Gu Jue had been framed by his stepmother Qi Yi and had been driven out of the house. He did not have any savings and could not even afford to pay for his school fees.


    Later on, he would meet Lin Yi. Lin Yi would discover his design talent and sponsor him to complete his studies.


    Because of this, he fell madly in love with Lin Yi, resulting in a series of tragedies.


    Su Jing wanted to sponsor Gu Jue so that he would stay away from the male and female leads and so that he wouldn¡¯t end up in a miserable state.


    ¡°Me?¡± Gu Jue was slightly taken aback.


    Su Jing nodded her head, ¡°That¡¯s right, like finishing school or something.¡±


    She was already hinting at it so hard, trying to steer the topic towards school.


    Hearing this, Gu Jue¡¯s expression darkened. His face was filled with disappointment and indifference.


    Was Su Jing trying to chase him away?


    Gu Jue felt a slow pain in his heart. He tried his best to please her, but in the end, it was useless. As expected, no one would like him. He didn¡¯t deserve love in this world.


    ¡°I understand what you mean,¡± Gu Jue tried his best to pick up a pale smile. His hands were gripping the steering wheel so hard that his knuckles turned slightly white, ¡°I¡¯ll send you home and leave. I won¡¯t disturb you again.¡±


    What did this have to do with anything? Su Jing was shocked. This kid was too sensitive. Did he misunderstand that she wanted to chase him away?


    ¡°I have no intention of asking you to leave,¡± Su Jing quickly explained, ¡°I only saw that you were still so young and thought that you were still studying, so I asked you about your plans for the future. I was worried that you have problems that you can¡¯t solve.¡±


    ¡°Future? I can¡¯t even live well in the present. How could I dare to dream for something so far away?¡±


    Gu Jue¡¯s eyes trembled. When he lifted his head, his eyes were filled with confusion. He looked like an abandoned little animal, weak and innocent.


    Su Jing¡¯s heart ached. She reached out her hand and touched his hair, ¡°Yes, you can!¡±


    Gu Jue turned to look at her. His eyes seemed to glow..

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°Everyone has the right to look forward to the future, and you are no exception.¡± Su Jing advised Gu Jue.


    She nodded her head firmly as she thought, ¡®You, the villain from the original novel, will live to see the end. I am counting on you to be my main support.¡¯


    Su Jing would give him the best treatment she could. For her, it was all an investment for her future in the story. Su Jing thought about it while also feeling sorry for Gu Jue.


    ¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t want me to leave?¡± Gu Jue asked while Su Jing was pushing his head to face forward to look at the road. It was too dangerous to drive without looking at the road.


    ¡°No, didn¡¯t I tell you the other day that you can stay with me as long as you want? My home is your home.¡± Su Jing said in a sincere tone.


    Gu Jue did not say another word as tears welled up in his eyes.


    What was home? Could he have a home?


    Su Jing knew she couldn¡¯t get anything out of him by seeing him like this. She decided to be more direct.


    She asked, ¡°I¡¯m sure you still haven¡¯t settled your tuition fees for the next semester, right? I¡¯ll pay for your tuition fees. Once school starts, you can go back to school. I¡¯ll keep your room for you, and you can come back whenever you want.¡±


    Hearing this, Gu Jue was shocked, and his eyes lit up with hope. Ever since his family kicked him out, he did not have the money to go to school and eat. That was why he wanted to stay at Su Jing¡¯s place, but how did she know all this?


    ¡°How did you know about the tuition fees¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡­¡± Su Jing paused for a moment and immediately found an excuse to brush him off, ¡°I just guessed it. You can¡¯t even afford the medicine to treat your illness. How could you have the money to pay for your tuition fees?¡±


    She couldn¡¯t possibly say that she had read the original book and knew that he had no money, so she had to support him financially, right? That was too ridiculous.


    Gu Jue knew what Su Jing said was the truth, but he felt a little uncomfortable. He realized that he didn¡¯t want to be looked down upon by Su Jing. He didn¡¯t want to be a liability to Su Jing.


    ¡°I don¡¯t have the money, but I can work to earn money. I can earn enough to pay my own tuition fees.¡± Gu Jue gritted his teeth stubbornly.


    ¡°Give me some time. Don¡¯t abandon me. I won¡¯t drag you down. I¡¯m a man of my word.¡±


    Su Jing didn¡¯t overthink it. She didn¡¯t want to be misunderstood by Gu Jue again, so she explained, ¡°I don¡¯t mean to look down on you, nor do I think that you are a burden. I simply want to help you. You are having health issues. What if you have a heart attack while you¡¯re working? Your tuition fees are expensive. What kind of job would pay you that much in a month?¡±


    Su Jing comforted him. She then took out a card from her bag and handed it to Gu Jue, ¡°Take the money here and pay for your tuition fees.¡±


    Gu Jue did not move.


    Su Jing knew Gu Jue had his pride. So, she smiled gently, ¡°Can you just take it as me lending it to you? You can return it to me when you have money in the future. If you don¡¯t accept it, I will feel terrible.¡±


    Gu Jue turned his head and looked at her. His lips moved, but in the end, he didn¡¯t say anything.


    Su Jing simply stuffed the card into his hand. This amount of money was nothing to Gu Jue in the future, but to Gu Jue now, it was like a spring in the desert to quench his thirst.


    Gu Jue did not reject her again. He held the card tightly and said, ¡°I borrowed this money from you. I will definitely return it to you in the future.¡±


    ¡°OK.¡±


    In reality, Su Jing had no intention of letting him repay the money. However, if she didn¡¯t say it like that, she was afraid that Gu Jue would overthink it.


    ¡°I will remember everything you¡¯ve done for me. When I have the ability, I will repay you a hundred times over.¡±


    Gu Jue promised solemnly. His expression did not look like he was joking at all.


    ¡°That¡¯s not important. I¡¯m helping you because I want to help you, not because I want to burden you. You just need to take good care of yourself.¡±


    Su Jing was afraid that Gu Jue would try too hard to return the favor and would end up going down another dark path, so she tried to persuade him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will take good care of myself and you.¡±


    This was the first time Gu Jue had such a strong desire to take care of a woman.


    His feelings for Su Jing seemed to be changing..

 Chapter 26 - I Don鈥檛 Want to Be Your Brother

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°I believe in you.¡±


    Su Jing knew that she did not need to say anything now. All she needed to do was to give him her support.


    She suddenly remembered that she needed to buy Gu Jue pajamas. Besides, Gu Jue didn¡¯t bring any change of clothes. It was time to take Gu Jue to the mall.


    She said to Gu Jue, ¡°Turn right at the intersection ahead. Let¡¯s not go home yet. Let¡¯s go somewhere else first.¡±


    Gu Jue obediently turned the corner and asked, ¡°Where are we going?¡±


    ¡°To the mall.¡± Su Jing took out her phone and searched for a destination.


    ¡°Do you want to buy some clothes?¡±


    Gu Jue looked at the rearview mirror and confirmed that there was no car behind him. He followed the GPS and drove to the nearest mall.


    Su Jing yawned and said, ¡°Did you forget? We need to buy you pajamas and clothes to wear when you go out every day. I see that you didn¡¯t bring any change of clothes. You can¡¯t be wearing this every day, right?¡±


    Gu Jue looked at the clothes on his body. An indescribable emotion flashed across his eyes. The things he had experienced in the past had almost made him disappointed in this world, but Su Jing had saved him.


    She seemed to treat him differently.


    When a person fell into an abyss, and someone was willing to lend him a hand, that person would be especially important to him.


    The two quickly arrived at the shopping mall. Gu Jue parked his car and came down like a gentleman to open the door for Su Jing.


    The men¡¯s wear section was located on the third floor. Su Jing led Gu Jue there. There were adult men¡¯s and also younger men¡¯s styles.


    The sales assistant wanted to introduce a few expensive but ugly styles, but Su Jing smiled politely, ¡°Sorry, we¡¯ll take a look ourselves.¡±


    The sales assistant had no choice but to shut her mouth and wait.


    Su Jing asked Gu Jue, ¡°Do you have anything you like?¡±


    Gu Jue glanced at the clothes. He felt that they were all the same. There was no difference to him as long as he could wear them. He asked, ¡°What do you like me to wear?¡±


    ¡°I think casual wear would suit you. A white shirt isn¡¯t bad either. You know, white shirts would look perfect for teenagers like you.¡± Su Jing did not understand the deeper meaning behind his words and thoughtfully analyzed to Gu Jue her understanding of fashion. She then picked out a few clothes that she thought were suitable for him.


    ¡°Try them on. See if they fit.¡± Su Jing handed him the clothes she had selected. Gu Jue carried them into the changing room and tried them one by one.


    Gu Jue was good-looking and thin, and everything looked good on him. Gu Jue looked fresh as ever with new clothes on.


    ¡°I¡¯ll take all of them. They look so good on you. You can pick more if you like anything else. I¡¯ll take them all.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. Everything you¡¯ve chosen suits me well.¡± Gu Jue was telling the truth.


    Su Jing handed the clothes to the sales assistant, ¡°Pack these up. We¡¯ll take all of them.¡±


    The sales assistant was ecstatic to have such a big customer, ¡°Okay, please wait a moment. You can pay the bill at the counter in a moment.¡±


    After speaking, she carried the clothes to pack.


    Su Jing felt a strong gaze staring at her from behind. She turned around and saw Gu Jue¡¯s trembling gaze.


    Gu Jue said, ¡°No one has ever treated me this well. You are the first.¡±


    Su Jing recalled his experience and patted him on the shoulder, ¡°Your past experience may be hard, but you can treat me like your own sister in the future. I will always treat you well.¡±


    Su Jing felt bad that he had never experienced family love and wanted to give it to him.


    ¡°No, I said I don¡¯t want to be your little brother.¡±


    Gu Jue stubbornly refused again. He was a little bit intense, causing others to look at him in surprise.


    He didn¡¯t want to be Su Jing¡¯s little brother. He couldn¡¯t be her little brother.


    Su Jing didn¡¯t know why Gu Jue had such a big reaction. He had a heart condition. In order not to provoke him, Su Jing had no choice but to follow his words, ¡°Okay fine, you won¡¯t be my little brother.¡±


    Su Jing felt that she had the potential to be a mother. She spoiled Gu Jue all the time.


    Gu Jue became happy when he got her answer. He smiled like a child..

 Chapter 27 - We Will Thrive Together

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    On the way back, Su Jing was the one driving. Gu Jue would stare at her the whole time as he drove. It was too dangerous.


    Gu Jue sat in the front passenger seat. He tilted his head and continued to stare at Su Jing.


    Su Jing felt his intense gaze and couldn¡¯t help but glance at him. She noticed that there was an indescribable emotion in his gaze.


    Su Jing looked at the road ahead and asked, ¡°Little Jue, why are you looking at me like that?¡±


    ¡°Why?¡±


    ¡°Why what?¡±


    ¡°You picked me up, offered to pay my school fees, and even bought me clothes. Why are you nice to me?¡± Gu Jue voiced his doubts.


    His biological mother abandoned him, his stepmother bullied him, his half-brother beat and scolded him, and his grandfather hated him.


    No one around him treated him well. He didn¡¯t know why a stranger like Su Jing would treat him so well.


    Su Jing opened her mouth and closed it again. How should she answer this question?


    She couldn¡¯t just tell Gu Jue that she picked him up because she knew that he would be a big shot in the future and because she thought she would be able to gain some advantage to be by his side.


    Whether Gu Jue would think that she was crazy, these words were enough to make Gu Jue sad for a long time.


    Gu Jue was too sensitive and meticulous. She knew the truth would hurt him, and he would fall into another cycle of self-denial.


    Actually, Su Jing herself did not fully understand why she treated Gu Jue so well.


    At first, it was because she felt sorry for him, and she wanted to gain his favor. However, as the two of them got closer, and all the teasing and flirting from Gu Jue, she felt like her feelings for Gu Jue had changed a little.


    Sometimes, she couldn¡¯t treat Gu Jue like a kid.


    ¡°I feel like we are fated to be together. After getting to know you for a few days, I think you will have a bright future. When you become a big entrepreneur, don¡¯t forget about me.¡± In the end, Su Jing chose to say the words half-jokingly. It didn¡¯t seem like the two had a strange relationship, nor was it too special.


    Gu Jue¡¯s expression shook as tears appeared in his eyes, ¡°Jingjing, no one has ever said something like that to me. You are the only one who believes that I will make a difference in the future. Wait for me. Give me a few years, and we will thrive together.¡±


    ¡°I¡­¡± Su Jing didn¡¯t know how to respond to Gu Jue.


    ¡°I will not let you down, and I will definitely be better than Qin Feng!¡± Gu Jue promised Su Jing in a serious tone.


    Su Jing nodded her head with mixed feelings. It seemed that she had unintentionally accelerated the start of this kid¡¯s hatred towards Qin Feng.


    The two returned to the apartment. Gu Jue seemed to be on steroids as he locked himself in his room and said that he would study in seclusion.


    Su Jing did not want to disturb him, so she went back to her room to play with her phone. She picked a drama to watch and enjoyed the show when her phone suddenly lit up.


    Su Jing looked at Fang Ke¡¯s name on the caller ID and said to herself, ¡°What is she trying to do this time? I¡¯m not picking up.¡±


    Su Jing hung up the phone. Before she could block Fang Ke¡¯s number, Fang Ke called again.


    To avoid the ceaseless annoyance from this girl, Su Jing thought for a moment before she changed her mind and picked up the phone.


    ¡°Hey, if you have something to say, hurry up and say it. If you wanted to tell me that I¡¯ve misunderstood you, then you don¡¯t need to waste your phone bill. I¡¯m not listening.¡± Su Jing expressed her attitude clearly. She was annoyed by this woman.


    ¡°No, Jingjing. No, sorry, Sister Jing. Listen to me. I know you have a huge misunderstanding of me, so I did something for you to show you how sincere I am to you.¡±


    Fang Ke said obsequiously, but Su Jing¡¯s right eyelid was twitching non-stop.


    Fang Ke did something for her?


    With Fang Ke¡¯s brain and personality, if she said she did something for Su Jing to please her, it could not be good!


    Su Jing asked anxiously, ¡°What have you done?¡±


    ¡°What do you mean by that? You¡¯ll be happy to hear this. I kidnapped Lin Yi, and I even got a few people to ¡®service¡¯ her.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you the address. In a while, we¡¯ll go watch a good show and take more videos and photos for Young Master Qin to see.¡± Fang Ke¡¯s tone was filled with excitement. She was a natural-born villain.


    Hearing this, Su Jing felt like her head was about to explode. Fang Ke was truly a professional villain.. Fang Ke just had to push her to a dead-end!

 Chapter 28 - Saving Lin Yi

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°What the f*ck!¡± Su Jing couldn¡¯t help but curse.


    Fang Ke was a troublemaker!


    She wasn¡¯t worried about Lin Yi¡¯s safety because Lin Yi had the plot armor as the novel¡¯s female lead. Even if Su Jing didn¡¯t do anything, Qin Feng would still receive information from his subordinates and rush to save Lin Yi.


    However, Su Jing herself was in danger! Fang Ke had used her name to hire those people.


    According to the storyline in the original book, Qin Feng saved Lin Yi when he arrived. Those who wanted to do something to Lin Yi couldn¡¯t escape. Those people gave up Su Jing¡¯s name and claimed that Su Jing ordered them to kidnap and rape Lin Yi.


    Qin Feng was furious and used the same method on Su Jing. Su Jing committed suicide in despair. Although she was saved by someone and didn¡¯t die, her heart was already dead. From then on, she only wanted to take revenge on Lin Yi.


    As to why the original Su Jing didn¡¯t blame this on Qin Feng nor Fang Ke, but the victim, Lin Yi, Su Jing couldn¡¯t understand why either. Su Jing thought that the evil female characters in the books were so dumb and stubborn.


    Su Jing really wished to crack open Fang Ke¡¯s head and see what was inside her. How could she be so evil?


    However, Su Jing knew that the most important thing was to prove her innocence and not let Fang Ke drag her down.


    ¡°Sister Jing, after tonight, that b*tch Lin Yi can no longer steal Young Master Qin from you. No matter how much Young Master Qin likes her, the Qin family will never accept a filthy woman into their home.¡±


    On the other end of the phone, Fang Ke was still proudly taking credit from Su Jing.


    Su Jing was so furious that her lungs were about to explode. However, a thought flashed through her mind, and she suddenly thought of a solution. There was no better evidence than a criminal revealing the truth.


    Su Jing curled her lips and pressed the recording button on the phone.


    She suppressed the anger in her heart and said, ¡°Tell me again how you kidnapped Lin Yi. The more details, the better. I want to hear the whole story.¡±


    ¡°No problem. Lin Yi may be talented, but she is brainless. All I did was ask someone to pretend to be sick and ask Lin Yi to send her home. Then, she really went. Haha, don¡¯t you think she¡¯s so stupid?¡±


    Fang Ke noticed that Su Jing¡¯s tone had become a lot friendlier. She thought her method was effective, and she sounded even happier.


    Fang Ke abused Lin Yi¡¯s sympathy and then ridiculed Lin Yi for that. Su Jing was even more disgusted by her.


    ¡°Where is the location?¡± Su Jing resisted the urge to curse and asked.


    ¡°342 Forest Hotel. I¡¯ve already installed a camera inside. Lin Yi dared to snatch a man from Sister Jing. She has to face the consequences!¡±


    Fang Ke¡¯s voice became crazier and crazier. Su Jing felt disgusted by her words.


    To prevent Fang Ke from getting suspicious, Su Jing pretended to sound normal and said, ¡°I¡¯ll see you at Forest Hotel in a bit.¡±


    ¡°Okay, Sister Jing. See you in a bit.¡±


    After the two of them finished talking, they hung up the phone. Su Jing quickly called Qin Feng.


    After a while, Qin Feng picked up the phone. His voice was as agitated as Su Jing when Su Jing picked up Fang Ke¡¯s phone earlier, ¡°Speak.¡±


    Hearing that Qin Feng was still willing to talk to her, Su Jing became more relaxed. It meant that his subordinates had not complained to him yet. If she told him first, she could gain his trust and goodwill.


    Su Jing put on her shoes as she said, ¡°Qin Feng, this is an emergency, and I don¡¯t have time to explain. Hurry and bring some people to 342 Forest Hotel. Fang Ke has kidnapped Lin Yi and is planning to do something to her.¡±


    ¡°What? Lin Yi? Su Jing, if you lie to me, you¡¯re dead.¡± Qin Feng threatened Su Jing in shock.


    Then, Su Jing heard the dial tone coming from her phone. She threw her phone to the side and prepared to change her clothes.


    She wanted to personally capture Fang Ke and bring him to Qin Feng to prove her innocence.


    As soon as Su Jing stepped out of her room, she saw Gu Jue standing at the door.


    ¡°Where are you going? I¡¯ll go with you.¡±


    Gu Jue heard the commotion in the room. He was worried that Su Jing had an emergency. He came out of his room to see Su Jing dressed up and ready to leave.


    It would be good to have Gu Jue with her. If Qin Feng didn¡¯t believe her or anything, she would have someone on her side.


    With this in mind, Su Jing agreed to Gu Jue¡¯s request, ¡°Okay, we¡¯re running out of time. Let¡¯s talk on the way out..¡±

 Chapter 29 - I Am Not the Culprit

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    On the way, Su Jing told Gu Jue what had happened, but she hid the fact that she already knew what happened and how it would end.


    Gu Jue was furious upon hearing this. He clenched his fists and slammed them on his legs, ¡°This Fang Ke is really despicable. She actually used your name to do something bad!¡±


    Su Jing turned her head and glanced at him. She wanted to see if Gu Jue had hurt himself, but she was shocked by the darkness in Gu Jue¡¯s eyes.


    This was the first time she had seen Gu Jue¡¯s eyes become so scary.


    His eyes were the same look that the antagonists in movies and TV shows had when they wanted to kill someone.


    After Gu Jue noticed that Su Jing was looking at him, his eyes turned gentle again. He held onto Su Jing¡¯s hand on the steering wheel and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. No one can hurt you. I will protect you.¡±


    Su Jing nodded her head in a daze. She then turned her head back to look at the road.


    The few days they spent together were so harmonious that she almost forgot that Gu Jue wasn¡¯t just a pitiful child from a rich family. He was also a ruthless villain.


    Although he wasn¡¯t at the stage where he was completely corrupted yet, he clearly had some psychological problems due to the environment he grew up in as a child.


    Su Jing thought that perhaps she should not only focus on providing material help to Gu Jue. Perhaps, correct guidance in his outlook on life was the most important thing she should give to Gu Jue.


    When Su Jing and Gu Jue arrived at the Forest Hotel, Qin Feng had already arrived with his men.


    Su Jing also received Fang Ke¡¯s message, ¡°Sister Jing, I just saw Young Master Qin bringing his men over. If you haven¡¯t arrived yet, you should go back in case Young Master Qin catches you red-handed.¡±


    Su Jing sneered at the message. Fang Ke¡¯s fake concern was disgusting. She must have run away to make sure she was safe before she notified Su Jing.


    Qin Feng¡¯s men guarded the entire third floor of the Forest Hotel. He chased away all the onlookers.


    However, when Su Jing and Gu Jue arrived, no one stopped them. It seemed that Qin Feng had given the order to his men. They easily walked into room 342.


    The three kidnappers who kidnapped Lin Yi were beaten until their noses and faces were swollen, and they were kneeling by the bed. Meanwhile, Lin Yi was lying unconscious in bed.


    Qin Feng saw Su Jing and furiously walked up to her and grabbed her by the collar.


    His eyes were red from extreme anger, ¡°Su Jing, you are also a woman. How can you be so vicious? If word of this gets out, how will Lin Yi live?¡±


    Gu Jue walked around Su Jing from behind and pushed Qin Feng away. He stood in front of Su Jing and glared at Qin Feng, ¡°Young Master Qin, Jingjing saved Miss Lin out of kindness. You shouldn¡¯t treat Miss Lin¡¯s savior like this, right?¡±


    ¡°Savior? How is she worthy? I think she and Fang Ke must have staged everything. First, they kidnapped Lin Yi and then pretended to inform me. If I can save Lin Yi in time, Su Jing would get the credits. If I didn¡¯t make it in time, both of them would be happy that Lin Yi got hurt.¡±


    Qin Feng¡¯s face was filled with hatred towards Su Jing and Fang Ke.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity you didn¡¯t become a screenwriter. I am not as imaginative as you. It was Fang Ke who did this on her own. It has nothing to do with me. I have a recording as evidence.¡±


    Su Jing took out her phone and tried to play the recording for Qin Feng.


    Qin Feng¡¯s expression was filled with disdain, ¡°Hmph, there¡¯s no need to do anything unnecessary. Since you planned this, you must have prepared everything well. Plus, they have already given up your name. Stop quibbling.¡±


    Su Jing was extremely irked. She retorted, ¡°You and Fang Ke are a perfect match. One tried so hard to frame me, while the other refused to listen to an explanation. You want to think I am the culprit. You can ask them if they¡¯ve seen me before.¡±


    Qin Feng looked at the three strong men. The strong men looked up at Su Jing¡¯s face and shook their heads.


    ¡°Did you see that, Young Master Qin? These people don¡¯t even know who Jingjing is. Stop accusing her, or else don¡¯t blame me for being rude.¡±


    Gu Jue held onto Su Jing¡¯s hand and stood in front of her to protect her.


    Su Jing felt the security of being protected, and her heart couldn¡¯t help but feel warm.


    ¡°Uh¡­ It¡¯s uncomfortable¡­¡±


    At this moment, a muffled groan came from the bed. It was Lin Yi who had woken up..

 Chapter 30 - A Forced Kiss by the Little Brat

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°Your little baby is awake. Why aren¡¯t you going to take a look?¡±


    Su Jing mocked Qin Feng on purpose.


    As expected, Qin Feng was furious. He glared at Su Jing and said, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. Lin Yi and I are just friends.¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter to me whether you are friends or not. As long as you don¡¯t accuse me.¡± Su Jing rolled her eyes at Qin Feng and said resentfully.


    Qin Feng was stunned. That¡¯s right, why was he trying to explain to this bad woman?


    He did not know what was wrong with him, but he did not seem to want Su Jing to misunderstand that he had a relationship with Lin Yi. He had never been like this before.


    In confusion, Qin Feng heard a weak voice behind him, ¡°Save me¡­¡±


    Qin Feng gave up on his thoughts and turned around. He carried Lin Yi up with the blanket, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll send you to the hospital right away.¡±


    After comforting Lin Yi, he said to his subordinates, ¡°Send these three to the police station.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡± His subordinates replied in unison.


    As Qin Feng walked past Su Jing, he did not forget to threaten her, ¡°Just you wait. I will find evidence of your crime and send you to jail.¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t give you a chance.¡±


    Gu Jue stood between the two, preventing Qin Feng from hurting Su Jing.


    Su Jing forced a helpless smile and said, ¡°Good luck!¡±


    Qin Feng left with a large group of people. The third floor returned to normal.


    Su Jing let out a long sigh and said to Gu Jue, ¡°Let¡¯s go too.¡±


    Su Jing¡¯s face was full of worry. She was worried that Qin Feng wouldn¡¯t believe her and would find someone to take revenge on her. She still couldn¡¯t escape from a tragic ending.


    Gu Jue turned around and saw Su Jing¡¯s expression. He thought she was upset because of Qin Feng¡¯s attitude.


    His heart ached as he pulled Su Jing into his embrace. He rested his head on her head and caressed her soft hair.


    He comforted her gently, ¡°Don¡¯t be upset. Qin Feng doesn¡¯t like you because he doesn¡¯t have good taste. In my eyes, you are a million times better than Lin Yi.¡±


    Su Jing was dumbfounded. Gu Jue seemed to have misunderstood something?


    She tried to explain, ¡°You¡¯ve misunderstood, Little Jue. Didn¡¯t I tell you that I don¡¯t like Qin Feng?¡±


    Gu Jue hugged her even tighter and planted a kiss on her head, ¡°I understand. You don¡¯t have to explain to me. I understand everything. You don¡¯t have to pretend in front of me.¡±


    The two were so close that Su Jing could hear Gu Jue¡¯s heartbeat.


    The sound of his heartbeat accompanied by the fragrance from Gu Jue¡¯s body invaded Su Jing¡¯s brain. Her heart began to beat in sync with his rhythm.


    She realized that if the two of them continued to get so close, something would definitely happen. She raised her head with difficulty, trying to resolve the misunderstanding, ¡°No, listen to me. You really don¡¯t understand. I¡­¡±


    Gu Jue lifted her chin and lowered his head to kiss her. The young man¡¯s cool lips covered Su Jing¡¯s lips. She felt her entire body go numb from the shock.


    Her legs went weak. Gu Jue wrapped his arms around her waist and took the opportunity to open her teeth with his tongue. He wrapped his tongue around her warm tongue in her mouth.


    ¡°Hmm¡­¡±


    Su Jing couldn¡¯t help but let out a slight grunt. She clenched her fists and tried to push away the aggressive young man in front of her, but her strength gradually dissipated under the young man¡¯s kiss.


    She let go of her fists and hooked her hands onto Gu Jue¡¯s neck. She felt like she was about to lose her balance.


    The passionate kiss lasted for a long time before it finally ended with the young man¡¯s rapid breathing.


    Gu Jue gazed deeply into Su Jing¡¯s eyes and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Jingjing, give me a chance. Let me help you forget about Qin Feng.¡±


    Su Jing did not have Qin Feng in her heart at all, let alone forget about him.


    However, as she was immersed in Gu Jue¡¯s clear eyes, she nodded her head.


    Gu Jue revealed a bright smile and pulled Su Jing into his arms.


    Perhaps, in the beginning, he only wanted to please Su Jing to use her resources, but now, he had developed a different kind of desire for Su Jing¡ª a man¡¯s desire for a woman.


    Su Jing was in a trance for a long time before she snapped back to reality.. She was furious, ¡®Damn it, this kid tricked me!¡¯

 Chapter 31 - Her Feelings Quivered

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    The next day, Su Jing sat at her desk daydreaming. Her mind was a mess. Qin Feng¡¯s threats and Gu Jue¡¯s potential confession kept echoing in her mind.


    Why did she say that it was a potential confession? It was because after Gu Jue kissed her at the hotel yesterday and said those ambiguous words, he did not mention a word when they returned home.


    Gu Jue said he would help her forget about Qin Feng, but he did not tell if they were currently in a relationship.


    Su Jing was in a mess, but she was too embarrassed to ask Gu Jue. If Gu Jue simply wanted to help her and not be her boyfriend, she would be embarrassed if she asked him.


    But he kissed her! It didn¡¯t seem like something normal friends would do, right?


    ¡°Ah!¡± Su Jing scratched her head in annoyance. She scratched her head so hard that her hair turned messy.


    She felt like a failure. How could she be so affected by a kid? It was her fault for being single for over 20 years in the real world. She was never good at dealing with romance.


    Just as Su Jing was feeling frustrated, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her desk.


    Su Jing lifted her head and saw Lin Yi in a white dress. Lin Yi¡¯s face was a little pale, but she didn¡¯t seem too affected by what happened yesterday.


    ¡°Thank you. Qin Feng told me everything. Although, because of your past records, I don¡¯t trust you completely. In any case, if you didn¡¯t inform Qin Feng, I probably wouldn¡¯t be able to stand here and talk to you today. So, I owe you my gratitude.¡± Lin Yi bowed to Su Jing and thanked her sincerely.


    Su Jing helped Lin Yi up. Lin Yi was more reasonable than Qin Feng, who was forcing her to admit something she did not do.


    Su Jing said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. I understand what you¡¯re thinking. I didn¡¯t expect Fang Ke to kidnap you just to please me. Actually, this still had something to do with me. I should apologize to you.¡±


    Lin Yi stopped her from apologizing, ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. The police haven¡¯t investigated the matter properly. If you really didn¡¯t do it, there¡¯s no need for you to apologize. Let¡¯s have dinner tonight. I want to thank you properly.¡±


    Lin Yi was good-looking, capable, and kind-hearted. Most importantly, she was sensible and reasonable. She wasn¡¯t like Qin Feng, who was stubborn and relentless. No wonder she could be the female lead in the novel.


    Su Jing¡¯s impression of Lin Yi improved significantly. Just as she was about to agree to Lin Yi¡¯s invitation, the hostile Qin Feng appeared behind Lin Yi.


    Qin Feng pulled Lin Yi behind him and said to Su Jing bitterly, ¡°You stay away from Lin Yi!¡±


    Qin Feng¡¯s voice was a little loud and attracted the attention of the surrounding colleagues.


    Lin Yi tugged on Qin Feng¡¯s sleeve and scolded him in a low voice, ¡°Qin Feng, we aren¡¯t even sure that Su Jing did it. Can you not be so reckless?¡±


    Qin Feng held onto Lin Yi¡¯s shoulders and advised her with a frown, ¡°Lin Yi, don¡¯t waste your kindness in the wrong place. This woman is vicious. Do you think she¡¯s a good person? She might be plotting against you!¡±


    ¡°People change. Maybe she really has changed.¡± Lin Yi didn¡¯t quite agree with Qin Feng.


    While the two were arguing, Su Jing heard people whispering behind their backs¡­


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°Haven¡¯t you heard? Yesterday, Miss Lin was kidnapped by three men and went to the Forest Hotel. The three men and one woman went to the hotel. What else could it be? They must be trying to rape her.¡±


    ¡°Ah! It¡¯s so scary. Doesn¡¯t that mean that Miss Lin¡­¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. President Qin arrived in time yesterday and saved her. She wasn¡¯t hurt, but I heard that Su Jing was also at the scene yesterday. I think this incident has something to do with Su Jing.¡±


    ¡°Needless to say, only a vicious woman like Su Jing would do something like this.¡±


    ¡°Hey, how do you know so much?¡±


    ¡°My boyfriend worked at the Public Security Bureau. He was the one who interrogated the three kidnappers yesterday.¡±


    Su Jing clenched her fists in anger. It was one thing for Qin Feng to suspect her, but now he was here to ruin her reputation in public?


    Although, it was not like the original Su Jing had any good reputation. Nonetheless, Su Jing could not stand this humiliation.. She had to clear her name!

 Chapter 32 - A Bet With Qin Feng

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°She is definitely the mastermind behind your kidnapping. The police have already found the money transfer records between Fang Ke and the three men. Once Fang Ke is caught, the truth will be revealed. Let¡¯s see how she can defend herself then.¡±


    Qin Feng glared at Su Jing as if he had already convicted Su Jing of her crime.


    Su Jing slammed the table, causing the entire place to fall silent. Everyone turned their attention to Su Jing.


    Su Jing gathered her courage and stared at Qin Feng, ¡°Qin Feng, let¡¯s take a bet.¡±


    Qin Feng looked down at Su Jing, ¡°A bet?¡±


    ¡°Yes, if the police found out that I had nothing to do with this, then you apologize to me in front of everyone and say that you, Qin Feng, are blind and have wronged me.¡±


    Su Jing¡¯s gaze was sharp, and her tone was firm.


    Everyone gasped. How dare Su Jing speak to Qin Feng like this?


    Qin Feng was also stunned. Apologize in front of everyone? Wasn¡¯t that just to embarrass him in front of everyone?


    Su Jing did not seem to be afraid of offending him. Qin Feng was a little confused. Did this girl actually plan to give up on him? For some reason, Qin Feng felt a little empty inside at the thought of this.


    Lin Yi patted Qin Feng on the shoulder and shook her head at him, hoping that he would stop making things difficult for Su Jing.


    Qin Feng suddenly lost his temper and took a step closer to Su Jing. With his hands in his pockets, he agreed, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll bet with you. What if you lose?¡±


    Su Jing leaned against the desk and tiptoed, trying to seem more threatening, ¡°If I lose, I¡¯ll go to jail.¡±


    Qin Feng curled his lips in disdain, ¡°Hmph, that¡¯s not enough. Before you go to jail, you have to kowtow to Lin Yi three times in public.¡±


    ¡°What the hell? That¡¯s too much!¡± Su Jing involuntarily leaned back a little.


    ¡°What? Are you afraid? If you¡¯re afraid, you shouldn¡¯t have done something like this!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s teasing expression seemed like he would convict Su Jing of her crimes.


    Su Jing placed her hands on her hips and looked like she wasn¡¯t going to admit defeat, ¡°Fine! I didn¡¯t do it anyway, and I¡¯m not afraid of you!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯d better pray that Fang Ke doesn¡¯t get arrested.¡± After Qin Feng said his piece, he pulled Lin Yi and left.


    Su Jing felt everyone¡¯s eyes were still on her. She waved her hands impatiently, ¡°Stop looking. Don¡¯t you have work to do?¡±


    The crowd dispersed and returned to their posts.


    Only then did Su Jing let out a sigh of relief and sit down. She felt like her body had been hollowed out.


    It felt good for her to say her piece, but after she calmed down, she couldn¡¯t help but worry that something might happen to Fang Ke. If Fang Ke were to blame her for the incident, she wouldn¡¯t be able to explain herself.


    Su Jing waited until she got off work. She walked to the underground parking lot and was about to walk to her car when a hand suddenly reached out from behind her and covered her mouth, pulling her into a black car.


    Su Jing struggled to break away, but she couldn¡¯t. She couldn¡¯t scream or make a sound, so she let out a muffled moan.


    It wasn¡¯t until the door of the black car was closed that the person behind Su Jing whispered, ¡°Sister Jing, don¡¯t make a sound. It¡¯s me, Fang Ke.¡±


    Su Jing recognized Fang Ke¡¯s voice and gradually stopped struggling.


    Fang Ke sounded nervous as she said, ¡°As long as you don¡¯t make a sound, I will let go of you.¡±


    Su Jing nodded her head, and Fang Ke released her hand as promised.


    She sat beside Su Jing, sobbing with tears in her eyes, ¡°Sister Jing, I¡¯ve finally met you¡­¡±


    Su Jing was annoyed by Fang Ke, but this was a good opportunity to capture her.


    ¡°Don¡¯t cry yet. I heard the police want you, how dare you come to the office? Aren¡¯t you afraid of being discovered by Qin Feng¡¯s goons?¡±


    Su Jing steadied Fang Ke as she reached into her bag and searched for her phone.


    Fang Ke looked worried, ¡°I¡¯m afraid, but there¡¯s nothing I can do. My phone is already bugged, and I don¡¯t dare to use it. There are even more people sent by Young Master Qin to be stationed near your place, so I had no choice but to disguise myself and sneak into the office to look for you.¡±


    Su Jing cursed in her heart. Qin Feng had already sent his goons to spy on her!


    Fang Ke held onto Su Jing¡¯s left hand tightly, ¡°It¡¯s good to see that you are safe. I was afraid Young Master Qin would take you away yesterday. Sister Jing, can you lend me some money? I want to go overseas to hide.¡±


    At this time, Su Jing had already found her phone. However, Fang Ke¡¯s attention was too focused on her, so it was hard to use it. If she wanted to use her phone, she had to think of a way to divert Fang Ke¡¯s attention..

 Chapter 33 - This Crazy Woman

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you wanted by the police? If you take a vehicle, you will definitely be caught!¡± Su Jing pretended to chat with Fang Ke as she tried to figure out how to use her phone naturally.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that. I have my way to sneak out of the country.¡±


    Fang Ke looked around nervously. As soon as someone passed by, she would lower her head and hide.


    ¡°Ah!¡± Su Jing pretended to be surprised as she covered her mouth, ¡°Human smuggling is very dangerous. What if something happens to you?¡±


    ¡°But I don¡¯t want to go to jail. Jail is scary, and the people there are all nasty. If I go in, what if I don¡¯t come out? Sister Jing, please help me. After all, I did this for you. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have ended up in this state.¡± Seeing that Su Jing was concerned about her safety, Fang Ke started to act pitiful.


    Su Jing suddenly had an idea. She thought of a natural way to use her phone.


    Su Jing pretended to be sad, ¡°Wait. Let me see how much money I have left. You know, I am a spendthrift. I don¡¯t know the balance in my bank account.¡±


    Seeing that there was a chance to borrow money, Fang Ke smiled, ¡°Okay, sure. No matter how much you have, it is fine. I won¡¯t be able to find a job in a short amount of time. Plus, I need money for food, shelter, and transportation. Of course, it¡¯s best if you can give me more.¡±


    Su Jing looked at Fang Ke¡¯s greedy face and felt even more disgusted. Su Jing tried her best to hide her emotions as she pulled out her phone from her bag and unlocked it.


    Fang Ke wanted to look over, but Su Jing moved her phone to the side and said angrily, ¡°You know I hate it when people look at my phone.¡±


    This was a random excuse that Su Jing came up with. It just so happened that the original Su Jing also had this habit.


    Fang Ke wanted something from Su Jing, so even if she was angry at Su Jing, she could only smile and sit up straight, waiting for Su Jing to look at her phone.


    After Su Jing was sure that Fang Ke was not going to look at her phone again, she quickly clicked into Qin Feng¡¯s chat box and typed in a message, ¡®Underground parking lot, Area B, black car, capture Fang Ke, come quickly.¡¯


    Time was limited. To prevent Fang Ke from noticing anything, Su Jing simply typed a few words to inform Qin Feng.


    ¡°You¡¯re just checking your balance. Why did you type so much?¡±


    Nonetheless, Fang Ke still realized something was wrong and grabbed Su Jing¡¯s phone to check. Luckily, Su Jing tapped on her bank account the second before her phone left her hand.


    The balance showed that Su Jing only had 10,000 yuan.


    Su Jing¡¯s heart was beating rapidly. She was worried that Fang Ke would tap into her chat box to check. This was a confined space. Su Jing even saw a knife-like object in Fang Ke¡¯s pocket.


    Su Jing was afraid that Fang Ke would attack her out of anger. She might not be able to defeat Fang Ke, and she would most likely be injured.


    ¡°Why is it so little? Did you just transfer the money to someone else?¡±


    Fang Ke was not happy with the amount of money Su Jing had left. After all, Su Jing was the daughter of the Su family. How could she only have 10,000 yuan left? Did she think that Fang Ke was a fool that could be easily dismissed?


    Su Jing snatched the phone from Fang Ke¡¯s hands and pretended not to be afraid, ¡°That¡¯s all I have. Take it or leave it.¡±


    Fang Ke became agitated, ¡°Su Jing, I did all this for you! Would I have asked someone to kidnap Lin Yi if it wasn¡¯t to please you? The reason why I¡¯m wanted today is because of you. You can¡¯t get rid of me with 10,000 Yuan!¡±


    ¡°Calm down. You were the one who came up with the idea of kidnapping Lin Yi. I didn¡¯t ask you to do this.¡±


    As Su Jing retreated, she secretly pressed the recording button on her phone.


    ¡°Does it matter if you did it or not? You don¡¯t have any evidence to prove your innocence anyway. All I have to do is tell Brother Qin Feng that you¡¯re the mastermind of the kidnapping. You¡¯ll have no way out! Hahaha!¡±


    Fang Ke laughed maniacally. The strip-shaped object in her pocket revealed a shiny blade.


    Su Jing¡¯s heart skipped a beat.. She couldn¡¯t anger Fang Ke anymore!

 Chapter 34 - I鈥檓 Fine Now That You鈥檙e Here

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Fang Ke¡¯s gaze turned vicious, ¡°If worst comes to worst, we can go to jail together!¡±


    Su Jing extended her left hand that wasn¡¯t holding onto her phone between them and said to Fang Ke, ¡°Calm down.¡±


    She kept glancing out of the car window from the corner of her eyes. Why are Qin Feng and his men not here yet?


    ¡°Think about it yourself. Either give me the money or go to jail with me.¡± Fang Ke wrapped her arms around her chest and threatened Su Jing to choose.


    ¡°I really don¡¯t have that much money.¡±


    ¡°What?!¡± Fang Ke¡¯s eyes turned vicious again.


    ¡°But, I can think of a way!¡± Fang Ke¡¯s expression changed.


    Su Jing glanced at the phone in her right hand. It was still recording, so she deliberately said, ¡°Money is a small matter. I can give it to you, but we need to be clear about something.¡±


    As soon as Fang Ke heard that Su Jing was going to give her money, a smile appeared on her face, ¡°As long as you can give me the money, we can talk about anything you want.¡±


    Su Jing pursed her lips. Fang Ke¡¯s attitude changed so quickly.


    ¡°As a friend, I can lend you the money. However, I didn¡¯t know about the kidnapping of Lin Yi, and I didn¡¯t ask you to do it. Do you admit that?¡±


    Su Jing asked.


    ¡°Yes, of course, I do. I planned this on my own, and it has nothing to do with you. I was just kidding when I said I was going to report it to Qin Feng.¡±


    Seeing that there was a chance to borrow money, Su Jing began to flatter Su Jing again.


    ¡°Okay, then there¡¯s no problem.¡±


    ¡°Then hurry up and give me the money. Withdraw cash. Online transactions can be traced.¡±


    ¡°Who said I was going to give you the money?¡±


    ¡°What? How dare you lie to me? I¡¯m going to go up to Qin Feng and tell him about your evil deeds. Let¡¯s see if Qin Feng still wants you after that!¡± Fang Ke realized she was being played and was furious.


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. Go ahead and tell him.¡±


    Su Jing wasn¡¯t afraid of Fang Ke¡¯s threat at all with the evidence in her hands. She could already see that someone was heading towards them from the car window behind Fang Ke. It was most likely Qin Feng¡¯s men.


    Fang Ke noticed that Su Jing was acting unusually calm. She stopped to observe Su Jing carefully and realized that Su Jing was recording with her phone.


    Her expression became scary, ¡°How dare you, Su Jing!¡±


    Fang Ke pulled out a knife from her pocket. It was a long and thin fruit knife.


    Su Jing held onto her phone tightly. She was a little nervous, but she had already thought of a way to escape. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have dared to provoke Fang Ke so easily.


    While Fang Ke was pouncing on her, Su Jing placed her hands behind her back, opened the car door behind her, and ran out.


    Fang Ke grabbed onto Su Jing¡¯s leg, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground.


    ¡°Ah!¡± Su Jing screamed in pain.


    ¡°Su Jing, go to hell!¡± Fang Ke raised the knife up high and aimed it at Su Jing¡¯s abdomen.


    At this critical moment, Fang Ke¡¯s hand holding the knife was kicked away by a foot.


    Su Jing looked over and realized it was Gu Jue. Her tense nerves immediately relaxed, and her eyes turned red.


    ¡°Gu Jue, you¡¯re finally here¡­¡± Su Jing¡¯s tone frightened herself a little. She actually started to cry.


    Gu Jue felt his heartache at her words. He squatted down and tried to help her up.


    Fang Ke had just gotten up from the ground when she heard many footsteps approaching her. It was Qin Feng and a few bodyguards approaching her.


    Fang Ke immediately realized that Su Jing had used the excuse of checking her bank balance to inform them. She glared at Su Jing like a devil and said, ¡°You just wait, Su Jing. I won¡¯t let you off.¡±


    She then ran away.


    Qin Feng ran to Su Jing¡¯s side. He wanted to check if Su Jing was hurt, but he was inexplicably annoyed seeing her in Gu Jue¡¯s arms. He gritted his teeth and called his bodyguards to chase after Fang Ke.


    Gu Jue examined Su Jing and found a small wound on her wrist. However, Gu Jue¡¯s heart still ached. It felt more painful than hurting himself.


    He held Su Jing¡¯s hand carefully and blew on the wound. He asked with concern, ¡°It must be painful, right? Are you hurt anywhere else?¡±


    Su Jing shook her head and leaned her head on Gu Jue¡¯s shoulder. ¡°I¡¯m fine now that you¡¯re here..¡±

 Chapter 35 - Infuriating Qin Feng

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Fang Ke as a woman, couldn¡¯t outrun Qin Feng and the bodyguards. She didn¡¯t run far before she was caught.


    ¡°Brother Qin Feng, it was this bad woman, Su Jing, who asked me to do this. Get her, and don¡¯t let her go!¡± As expected, Fang Ke was screaming that it was all Su Jing¡¯s doing.


    Qin Feng frowned and gestured for the bodyguards to cover Fang Ke¡¯s mouth. Qin Feng¡¯s assistant, He Qi, covered his mouth and snickered at the sight of this.


    Qin Feng looked at him coldly. ¡°What are you laughing at?¡±


    ¡°President Qin has been saying that this matter has something to do with Miss Su, but deep down, you don¡¯t want to believe that it was her.¡±


    He Qi had been with Qin Feng for a long time and knew Qin Feng¡¯s personality very well.


    Qin Feng frowned and said angrily, ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡±


    ¡°President Qin, don¡¯t lie to yourself. Your attitude towards Miss Su has changed a lot. It¡¯s just that you¡¯ve been refusing to admit it. Otherwise, why didn¡¯t you just send her to the police station earlier? Why did you have to make a bet with her like a child? It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve seen you act so childish.¡±


    He Qi¡¯s analysis was spot on. Qin Feng clenched his fists and loosened them. He involuntarily shifted his gaze towards the direction of Su Jing and Gu Jue.


    ¡°If you want to care about her, then go ahead. Don¡¯t be so arrogant. Girls nowadays don¡¯t fall for the bossy alpha male¡¯s tricks anymore. They like gentle and considerate men.¡± He Qi, who hadn¡¯t been scolded for what he said so far, became even bolder. He just compared Qin Feng to Gu Jue and revealed the fact that Qin Feng wanted to care about Su Jing.


    Qin Feng glared at He Qi and said in a cold voice, ¡°I think you¡¯ve been a little carried away. You should spend more time working. Maybe don¡¯t go on your annual leave next month?¡±


    ¡°Huh? I¡¯m sorry, President Qin. My bad. I was just talking nonsense. Please approve my annual leave. I haven¡¯t taken any leave for three years in a row.¡±


    ¡°Get over there and send Fang Ke to the police station immediately. Otherwise, don¡¯t even think about taking annual leave next year.¡±


    Qin Feng turned his back, but there was no anger on his face. If one looked carefully, one would see a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.


    Gu Jue had just helped Su Jing up when Qin Feng walked over.


    Qin Feng placed his hands behind his back and asked in a cold voice, ¡°How are you? Are you going to die anytime soon?¡±


    ¡°Can you speak nicely?¡±


    Gu Jue was so mad that he wanted to punch him, but Su Jing stopped him. She was already used to Qin Feng being mean.


    ¡°Thanks to President Qin, I¡¯m not going to die yet. You¡¯ve caught Fang Ke, right?¡± Su Jing asked the question that she was most concerned about.


    Qin Feng nodded, ¡°Hmm. Go to the hospital for a checkup. Don¡¯t try to sue the company later for your injury.¡±


    Qin Feng was obviously concerned about Su Jing, but whatever he said turned into sarcasm and mockery.


    ¡°Ha, don¡¯t worry. The Su family can still afford the medical fees.¡± Su Jing sneered as she pulled out her phone and played the recording of her conversation with Fang Ke.


    Qin Feng¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change much. It seemed he had expected this outcome.


    ¡°I will hand this recording and the previous recording of my conversation with Fang Ke to the police to prove my innocence. I hope President Qin can fulfill your promise and apologize to me in front of everyone in the office tomorrow.¡±


    Su Jing put away her phone and reminded Qin Feng not to forget his promise.


    Qin Feng¡¯s face darkened when he heard this. Instead of replying to Su Jing, he showed Gu Jue the message that Su Jing had sent him earlier.


    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes were full of pride, ¡°When she was in danger, the first thing she thought of was to inform me, not you. Do you still believe her nonsense about letting me go?¡±


    Gu Jue¡¯s expression froze as he pursed his lips.


    ¡°I only informed you because you were close by, and I wanted to prove to you that Fang Ke and I are not accomplices. Please don¡¯t try to sow discord between Gu Jue and me.¡±


    Su Jing noticed that Gu Jue did not look happy and quickly explained.


    Qin Feng walked over and lifted Su Jing¡¯s chin. His voice was deep and seductive, ¡°The first person that comes to mind in times of danger is the person you care about the most. Su Jing, stop lying to yourself.¡±


    Gu Jue knocked Qin Feng¡¯s hand away and shielded Su Jing behind him.. He didn¡¯t say anything, but his eyes betrayed his true feelings¡ª he was furious!

 Chapter 36 - Stay Away From Qin Feng (1)

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡°Hahaha!¡± Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Qin Feng laughed and left.


    Su Jing leaned on Gu Jue¡¯s shoulder and felt his emotions. She explained, ¡°Don¡¯t listen to his nonsense. I didn¡¯t mean anything by telling him first. I just¡­¡±


    Gu Jue turned around and pulled her into his arms, interrupting her explanation, and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Jingjing. I¡¯m not strong enough. If I were strong enough, you wouldn¡¯t have asked for his help. Give me a little more time, and I¡¯ll grow.¡±


    Su Jing stopped explaining as Gu Jue spoke. Gu Jue blamed himself for everything, making her feel sorry for him.


    The complaints she had about Gu Jue in the morning were all thrown to the back of her mind. She held onto Gu Jue¡¯s waist tightly, ¡°Silly boy, the one who helped me, in the end, wasn¡¯t Qin Feng. It was you!¡±


    Su Jing could clearly feel Gu Jue¡¯s body freeze.


    After a while, Gu Jue said, ¡°I should have come here earlier to pick you up so that you wouldn¡¯t be hurt.¡±


    Su Jing lifted her head and stared at him, ¡°If you had come earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to record the evidence. So, everything happened this way for the best. You don¡¯t have to blame yourself.¡±


    Gu Jue looked at her with heartache. He knew she was trying to comfort him, so he hugged her tightly and said, ¡°I will drive you to and from work every day from now on. I won¡¯t let this happen again.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Su Jing had no choice but to agree dotingly.


    Gu Jue accompanied Su Jing to the police station to submit the evidence and give her statement. After they were done, the two of them returned to the apartment.


    Gu Jue carefully cleaned Su Jing¡¯s wound. He was afraid of hurting Su Jing, so his movements were gentle and careful.


    Su Jing¡¯s heart softened when she saw how worried he was. She couldn¡¯t help but lift her uninjured hand and caress Gu Jue¡¯s head.


    Gu Jue looked up at her. There seemed to be starlight in his eyes, ¡°Did I hurt you?¡±


    Su Jing shook her head, ¡°No.¡±


    Gu Jue let out a sigh of relief, ¡°That¡¯s good.¡±


    Su Jing lifted Gu Jue¡¯s face and stared at him. She really wanted to ask Gu Jue what exactly their relationship was, but after beating around the bush for a long time, she couldn¡¯t find the words to ask.


    However, Gu Jue couldn¡¯t suppress the throbbing in his heart. He leaned over and kissed Su Jing. Their lips and teeth intertwined, and the temperature around them seemed to have risen as they got closer.


    Su Jing gradually immersed herself in Gu Jue¡¯s kiss. It wasn¡¯t until she felt a slight pain on her lips that she regained consciousness¡ª Gu Jue bit her.


    She looked at Gu Jue in confusion. Gu Jue said, ¡°You should stay away from Qin Feng from now on. His feelings for you have changed.¡±


    ¡°You mean Qin Feng doesn¡¯t hate me anymore? How is that possible? He even embarrassed me in the office today.¡± Su Jing laughed as she asked Gu Jue.


    Gu Jue held Su Jing¡¯s head in displeasure, ¡°Men understand men the best. Trust me, stay away from him.¡±


    Su Jing thought about Gu Jue¡¯s nervousness when Qin Feng lifted his chin. She suddenly understood why Gu Jue said that.


    Her gaze became mischievous, ¡°Little Jue, are you jealous?¡±


    Gu Jue¡¯s eyes moved. He pinched Su Jing¡¯s face as if he was punishing her and kissed her again.


    After kissing her, he stood up and said, ¡°As long as you don¡¯t have him in your heart, I won¡¯t be jealous.¡±


    Then, Gu Jue walked toward the bathroom. Su Jing watched as he left. Her breathing was still hurried. When did this kid become so domineering?


    That night, just as Su Jing was about to fall asleep, she felt someone crawling in her bed behind her. Before she could react, her back fell into a familiar embrace.


    ¡°Little Jue?¡± Su Jing called out Gu Jue¡¯s name.


    The person behind her wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned his head against her head. In a tired voice, he said, ¡°I won¡¯t do anything. I just want to cuddle with you for the night.¡±


    Su Jing recognized that it was indeed Gu Jue¡¯s voice. She held onto Gu Jue¡¯s hand and asked softly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did something happen to you?¡±


    Gu Jue moved his head, ¡°No, I just feel like I can¡¯t control my emotions. I hate this feeling.¡±


    He couldn¡¯t help but think about how much Su Jing loved Qin Feng. Qin Feng¡¯s words kept stabbing his heart. Only when he hugged Su Jing would the uncomfortable feeling disappear.


    ¡°Silly kid, if you can completely control your emotions, then you are no longer a human but a god.¡± Su Jing placed her hands behind her back and patted his head to comfort him.


    Gu Jue buried his head even deeper, ¡°Jingjing, promise me that you will never leave me.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I will never leave you.¡±


    ¡°If you can¡¯t do it, then I will die with you.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Su Jing was silent. She had already died once, and she didn¡¯t want to die a second time..

 Chapter 37 - Stay Away From Qin Feng (2)

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    After a few seconds of silence, Gu Jue seemed to realize that he had frightened Su Jing, so he softened his tone and said, ¡°Don¡¯t mind me Jingjing. I just spouted nonsense. Of course, I couldn¡¯t bear to let you die. But, I wouldn¡¯t be able to live without you. I would turn into a ghost and haunt you forever.¡±


    Su Jing bit her lower lip. She wanted to cry, but there were no tears. What Gu Jue just said was even more terrifying. She almost forgot that the little puppy she picked up from the street was the biggest villain in the story.


    The next day, Gu Jue woke up early to prepare a lunchbox for Su Jing.


    Seeing how considerate he was, Su Jing smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯ve always been so nice to me. Aren¡¯t you afraid of spoiling me?¡±


    Su Jing had intended to take care of Gu Jue, but she didn¡¯t expect that she would be taken care of by Gu Jue instead.


    Gu Jue looked at her and smiled. He placed the lunchbox in front of her and said, ¡°You spoiled me first. I¡¯m just trying to repay you. I hope that time will freeze, and we will be like this forever.¡±


    Su Jing smiled sweetly. This kid was becoming more and more flirtatious.


    Gu Jue sent Su Jing to the office. As he watched her walk into the office with her lunchbox, he said, ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up in the afternoon. Don¡¯t go running around.¡±


    Su Jing waved her hand at him. She laughed to herself. She wasn¡¯t a child. How could she go running around?


    As Su Jing arrived at the office, she happened to see Qin Feng walking toward her. The man was still as arrogant as ever. Of course, he also saw Su Jing, but he didn¡¯t even look at her and simply left.


    Su Jing was speechless. This man was really irresponsible. He had lost a bet, yet he would not admit it.


    Su Jing quickly stopped him, ¡°President Qin, aren¡¯t you forgetting something? Let me remind you. I went to the police station yesterday to provide evidence and record my statement, but I wasn¡¯t arrested as a suspect. So, shouldn¡¯t you fulfill your promise?¡±


    Qin Feng looked at her with a cold expression, ¡°Hmph, who knows if you colluded with Fang Ke and purposely put on an act to clear your name.¡±


    Su Jing was angered, but she couldn¡¯t help but laugh. Qin Feng was stubborn indeed. ¡°President Qin, is this your first-day meeting Fang Ke? How can she be so selfless? Please don¡¯t make excuses for not keeping your promise.¡±


    Qin Feng¡¯s expression didn¡¯t look good. He liked to see Su Jing get angry, but he didn¡¯t like how Su Jing used words to shut him up.


    This wretched girl¡¯s mouth was becoming more and more eloquent. An apology? That¡¯s impossible.


    Qin Feng said coldly, ¡°The investigation isn¡¯t over yet. Miss Su, there¡¯s no need to hurry.¡±


    Seeing Qin Feng was about to get away with it, Su Jing wasn¡¯t happy.


    A colleague saw this and immediately grabbed Su Jing¡¯s hand, ¡°Miss Su, let it go. Give President Qin a way out. It¡¯s not nice if this affects the harmony in the office.¡±


    This person knew that Su Jing¡¯s family background was good and wanted to please Su Jing, so he came over to help ease the atmosphere.


    Su Jing looked unhappy. Why should she let it go? Was she easy to bully? Qin Feng had insulted her the other day. Was it okay to let it go now? This must be a joke!


    Su Jing shook off the hands of her colleague and said angrily to Qin Feng, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me President Qin is trying to go back on his word? I didn¡¯t expect President Qin of the Qin Corporation to be such a coward. If word of this gets out, I¡¯m afraid people will laugh their heads off!¡±


    The corners of Qin Feng¡¯s mouth curled up. He didn¡¯t know why, but he liked the way Su Jing acted so arrogantly as if she was going to eat him up at any moment.


    Compared to the original Su Jing, who just wanted to be stuck to him like she didn¡¯t have any bones, this Su Jing was more pleasing and likable. Sometimes, he just wanted to anger her on purpose and force her to go against him.


    If Su Jing knew what Qin Feng was thinking, she would definitely call out his cheap tricks.


    Qin Feng looked at her from the corner of his eye, ¡°Who said I don¡¯t keep my word?¡±


    ¡°Then apologize!¡± Su Jing placed her hands on her hips and demanded.


    Everyone¡¯s gaze fell on the two of them. They were waiting to see Su Jing get scolded by Qin Feng.


    No one dared to speak to President Qin like this.. She would definitely be scolded!

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Qin Feng quickly apologized.


    Everyone was shocked. Did Qin Feng actually admit defeat and apologize?


    Su Jing smirked, but it wasn¡¯t enough. She said sarcastically, ¡°Is President Qin imitating a mosquito? Why is your voice so soft?¡±


    Everyone gasped. Su Jing was so fearless that she did not care about the consequences!


    Qin Feng frowned and said unhappily, ¡°That¡¯s enough. Don¡¯t push your luck.¡±


    There was a limit to his indulgence.


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid that President Qin has forgotten about our bet. If you lose, you have to say, ¡®I am blind, and I wrongly accused Su Jing.¡¯ You can¡¯t simply say you¡¯re sorry.¡±


    Su Jing provoked Qin Feng on purpose. She wanted to get him back for everything that had happened in the last few days.


    Qin Feng¡¯s gaze became fierce as he slowly leaned over and approached Su Jing. Everyone was worried that Su Jing was going to be beaten up by Qin Feng.


    Su Jing dodged his gaze, and her body fell backward. She said in a panic, ¡°W-what are you doing? Hitting someone is against the law!¡±


    Well, she only managed to appear fearless for about two minutes.


    In the next second, Qin Feng smiled in satisfaction, ¡°I, Qin Feng, am blind. I¡¯ve accused Su Jing wrongly. I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    He was wrong. There was no limit to his indulgence.


    Everyone¡¯s jaws dropped.


    Had President Qin gone crazy, or had they gone crazy? President Qin actually apologized to Su Jing compliantly.


    Su Jing looked at Qin Feng in shock. She didn¡¯t know if it was an illusion, but she actually saw a trace of doting affection in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes.


    She had definitely gone mad. How could Qin Feng show any affection toward her? After apologizing, President Qin left the scene under everyone¡¯s confused gaze.


    Su Jing clutched her chest in fear as she looked in the direction he was going. To Su Jing¡¯s surprise, this incident did not stop because Fang Ke was caught. Instead, someone twisted the truth and posted it online, causing a huge reaction.


    Everyone online said that she was the real culprit behind Lin Yi¡¯s kidnapping. To get Qin Feng, she did everything she could to make others take the blame. This topic quickly went onto the trending list.


    ¡°So what if she¡¯s rich? What a vicious woman!¡±


    ¡°We work in the same company, yet Su Jing, that scum, forced President Qin to apologize to her. How could she, the real culprit, have the audacity to make President Qin apologize to her?¡±


    ¡°Ah, is she that shameless? President Qin is so pitiful.¡±


    Gu Jue¡¯s face darkened when he saw these comments on the computer.


    He didn¡¯t want to see Su Jing being slandered, so he blocked a few of the most influential accounts. However, too many people were commenting, and Gu Jue couldn¡¯t block them all no matter how hard he tried.


    When Su Jing returned home, Gu Jue quickly put away his computer and hid the TV remote control. He didn¡¯t want Su Jing to know about the news, and he didn¡¯t want her to be upset.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. You don¡¯t have to hide it. I already know.¡± Su Jing put her bag aside and collapsed onto the sofa.


    The incident was huge. Her social media account had long been compromised, and she had received countless insults. It was impossible for her not to know.


    Gu Jue angrily took out the TV remote control and placed it on the coffee table. He sat down beside Su Jing and comforted her, ¡°Don¡¯t look and don¡¯t listen. The news is fake. They don¡¯t know how good you are.¡±


    Su Jing smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t care what they say about me. I didn¡¯t do it in the first place. If they want to talk, let them be.¡±


    Gu Jue was worried that Su Jing was forcing herself to be happy. So, he hugged Su Jing, ¡°No matter what other people say, I will always be on your side. I will always believe in you.¡±


    Seeing him like this, Su Jing wanted to tease him, ¡°What if I really did something wrong?¡±


    ¡°Jingjing, no one has ever taught me right or wrong. I don¡¯t understand these things. All I know is that you treat me well. So, whatever that you want to do is right for me.¡±


    On the contrary, Gu Jue was like a child who needed comfort.


    ¡°Are you that unreasonable?¡± Su Jing teased him.


    ¡°I am unreasonable. You are my reason.¡± As Gu Jue spoke, he held her shoulder, then her face, and kissed her..

    Su Jing didn¡¯t care about this, but apparently someone else did. Li Xiu looked at the news and thought that Su Jing had changed her mind.


    She had always wanted Su Jing to be with Qin Feng, but she didn¡¯t know what was going on with Su Jing. Su Jing promised her that she would get close to Qin Feng, but she kept going against him.


    She almost thought that Su Jing didn¡¯t like Qin Feng anymore. Fortunately, this piece of news appeared.


    It turned out that Su Jing still liked Qin Feng. She didn¡¯t hesitate to use all sorts of methods to get rid of the woman beside Qin Feng.


    ¡®That¡¯s great. That was more like her precious daughter!¡¯


    Thinking of this, Li Xiu quickly gave Su Jing a phone call.


    ¡°I saw the news. If you want to do something like this, you have to be ruthless and clean. Since you still want Qin Feng, you should tell me. I will help you think of a way.¡± As soon as Li Xiu picked up the phone, she lectured Su Jing.


    At this moment, Gu Jue was lying on top of Su Jing. After hearing what Li Xiu said, he didn¡¯t seem to be too happy.


    ¡°Mom, you¡¯ve misunderstood. The news isn¡¯t what you think it is¡­¡±


    Su Jing quickly tried to explain that she didn¡¯t want to be with Qin Feng.


    However, Li Xiu didn¡¯t let her finish, ¡°Enough, there¡¯s no need to explain so much to me. There¡¯s a banquet at home tomorrow night. I will invite Qin Feng. You should dress up and come on time. I will create an opportunity for you.¡±


    Gu Jue was waiting for Su Jing to reject her, but Su Jing said, ¡°Okay.¡±


    Su Jing hung up the phone. Gu Jue propped himself up on the sofa with both hands, looking shocked and hurt.


    After all, she still couldn¡¯t forget about Qin Feng?


    Su Jing saw his expression. She patted his face and asked, ¡°What¡¯s with that face? Do you think I still like Qin Feng?¡±


    ¡°Then why did you agree to your mom¡¯s request? I don¡¯t want you to meet him at the banquet.¡± Gu Jue¡¯s possessiveness was triggered.


    Su Jing sighed. Looking at his aggrieved expression, she rubbed his soft hair, ¡°Do you want me not to get scolded?¡±


    Gu Jue nodded his head blankly, ¡°Of course I do.¡±


    ¡°Those people thought I couldn¡¯t let go of Qin Feng, so they tried to frame Lin Yi. As long as I prove that I don¡¯t like Qin Feng anymore, then the rumors won¡¯t hold up.¡±


    Su Jing placed her hands on the back of his neck. Gu Jue¡¯s eyes immediately lit up. He seemed to have understood something.


    ¡°You¡¯re smart. You should know what I mean. Tomorrow, you¡¯ll go with me and pretend to be my boyfriend. That way, those people won¡¯t be able to say anything.¡±


    Su Jing said with a smile. She had two reasons for saying this. One was to discuss tomorrow¡¯s matter, and the other was to test what Gu Jue thought their relationship was.


    After all, they had already done everything a couple should have done. They held hands, hugged, kissed, and even slept in each other¡¯s arms. However, there was no clear explanation, so Su Jing was quite concerned about this matter.


    Gu Jue lowered his eyes sadly and sat down on the sofa.


    His tone was sorrowful, ¡°I thought I was already your boyfriend. It turns out, I was thinking too much.¡±


    He tilted his head and looked at Su Jing¡¯s aggrieved expression, ¡°You kissed me and hugged me, but you didn¡¯t want to take responsibility. You played with my feelings.¡±


    Su Jing sat up abruptly. Wasn¡¯t this¡­ Wasn¡¯t this supposed to be her line?


    Gu Jue¡¯s tears were about to fall. Su Jing panicked. She quickly said, ¡°No, it¡¯s not like that. You are my boyfriend, but I only said that because you have never said it aloud. That¡¯s why I tried to test you this way.¡±


    Gu Jue hugged Su Jing tightly as tears streamed down his face and fell onto Su Jing¡¯s shoulders, ¡°I love you, but I don¡¯t know how to love someone. So, can you forgive me and teach me? I¡¯ll learn from you.¡±


    Su Jing kissed his earlobe, ¡°Okay.¡±


    What else could she do? The moment his eyes turned red, her heart softened.


    ¡°What are you doing with your hands?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m taking off your bra.¡±


    ¡°Since when did you become so shameless?¡±


    ¡°Just now.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s talk about this when you¡¯re older.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m old enough. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can touch it.¡±


    ¡°Little Jue¡­ It¡¯s not convenient for me these few days.¡±


    ¡°¡­.¡±

 Chapter 40 - I Finally Found You

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    It was time for the banquet to begin. Su Jing entered the banquet holding Gu Jue in a handsome suit.


    Gu Jue¡¯s appearance was hard to look away from. He had an aura about him and his broken beauty made people¡¯s hearts ache.


    Those who did not know him at first were guessing which rich family Gu Jue was from. Someone then said that Gu Jue was just a ¡°sugar baby¡± who Su Jing was keeping.


    Everyone was in an uproar.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t she say that she liked Young Master Qin? What¡¯s the deal with this beautiful young man?¡±


    ¡°Is Su Jing crazy? It¡¯s one thing for her to appear in public after such a scandal. But Qin Feng is here today. Why did she bring a male partner? What is she trying to do?¡±


    ¡°I think she¡¯s crazy. A normal person wouldn¡¯t do something like this.¡±


    Su Jing remained calm as she faced the people pointing at her.


    Gu Jue turned his head and looked at Su Jing with a gentle smile, ¡°Sister, you need to hold onto my arm. Otherwise, I can¡¯t guarantee that I can protect you. There are too many people here that want to eat you up.¡±


    Su Jing couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Okay, I will hold onto your arm so that no one has the chance to eat me up.¡±


    This kid, Gu Jue, could tell jokes now? This was a good sign.


    Su Jing¡¯s being so close to Gu Jue made him feel like his bones were melting, but he still looked serious on the surface.


    The two of them showed their affection as if no one else was around. They were not afraid of other people¡¯s gazes.


    Meanwhile, the rest of the guests looked at the two of them. They didn¡¯t quite understand what Su Jing was trying to do.


    Li Xiu looked at the two of them, and her eyebrows almost scrunched together.


    What was going on with Su Jing? Didn¡¯t she promise her on the phone yesterday? Why did she bring Gu Jue over?


    Li Xiu pulled Su Jing to the side. She scolded, ¡°Are you crazy? Didn¡¯t I tell you that Qin Feng would be here today? Why did you bring this kid over? I told you that you wanted to mess around in private. How could you bring him here?¡±


    Su Jing replied innocently, ¡°Who said we were just messing around? We are in a serious relationship.¡±


    Li Xiu almost choked upon hearing this. After a while, she started scolding again, ¡°Stop fooling around and get him out of here. Qin Feng will be here soon!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not fooling around. I brought him here today to announce our relationship.¡± Su Jing pulled Gu Jue aside and waved their hands in front of Li Xiu.


    Li Xiu was so angry that she took a few deep breaths. She pulled their hands away and pushed Gu Jue away, ¡°You better leave on your own. Otherwise, if I call someone to chase you away, it won¡¯t look good.¡±


    Su Jing stood in front of Li Xiu and protected Gu Jue, ¡°Don¡¯t touch him!¡±


    If it were anyone else, Gu Jue would have retaliated. But, this person was Su Jing¡¯s mother. He must tolerate her bullying him.


    ¡°Do you really want to drive me mad?¡± Li Xiu covered her chest and tried to control her voice as she scolded. She was afraid it wouldn¡¯t look good if others heard her.


    At this moment, the guests around them let out a surprised cry. The three of them looked toward the source of the sound. At the source of the commotion, two people walked toward them ¨C Qin Feng and Lin Yi.


    They were a perfect match. Qin Feng was dressed in a black suit and had a tall and straight figure. Lin Yi was dressed in a long white dress and looked elegant and charming.


    Everyone¡¯s attention was attracted by the two of them. However, the two of them brought everyone¡¯s attention toward Su Jing as they walked toward her.


    Li Xiu was afraid that Qin Feng would misunderstand the relationship between Su Jing and Gu Jue. She quickly introduced with a flattering smile, ¡°Young Master Qin, you¡¯re here. Let me introduce you. This is Jingjing¡¯s distant cousin.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not interested in who Su Jing has a relationship with.¡± Qin Feng¡¯s expression was cold.


    Lin Yi smiled and greeted the two of them.


    Seeing everyone¡¯s eyes on them, Su Jing felt this was a great opportunity.


    She held Gu Jue¡¯s hand and interlocked her fingers. She stood in a bright spot and said to everyone, ¡°Let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Gu Jue.¡±


    Su Jing was really courageous. She really dared to introduce her boyfriend to everyone.


    While everyone was in shock, a pair of eyes that looked very similar to Gu Jue was staring at the two of them.


    ¡°Ha, dirty rat, I¡¯ve finally found you..¡±
