Shi Yong did not speak.

Qu Li felt like this was an opportunity, and her eyes flashed with anticipation as she continued persuading him.

“Hubby, if this marriage arrangement is successful, we can still work together with the Ning family.

“Xiaoxiao will work hard, and when her marriage with Guan Yue is successful, you will be one of the most prominent figures in this city!

“You would be the in-law of two great families. Who else in this large capital would have such strong connections?”

Shi Yong hesitated for a moment before he opened his mouth to speak. “Is there really a chance between Xiaoxiao and Young Master Guan Yue?”

Qu Li nodded proudly, glad that he was taking the bait. 

“Although our Xiaoxiao isn’t as pretty as Xiaoyu, she’s not bad either. You also know that our Xiaoxiao has a good reputation. 

“All these years, I’ve trained her according to the standards of a socialite. No matter if it’s the young masters of aristocratic families or picky elders, they would definitely not be able to pick out the slightest fault in her! 

“All you have to do is just wait to be an honourable father-in-law.”

Shi Yong stayed silent, and Qu Li’s lips curled into a victorious smile.

Men always put their own interests first. She was no longer afraid that he would not go along with her plan.

The conversation between husband and wife had been completely overheard by Qin Yu.

She was holding a tablet in her hands and earphones were plugged into her ears.

Nanny Zhang, the cleaning maid, sneaked a glance at the screen of the device as she walked past her, pretending she was just looking past her. 

It was a silly mobile game, and their mentally retarded miss looked like she was having a lot of fun playing it.

This electronic tablet had been obtained in an exchange with Shi Xiao for Qin Yu’s jade bracelet. From then on, she had always kept it with her and even hugged it in her arms as she slept.

There were all kinds of useless games and lame cartoons in it, and it was even more pathetic that Qin Yu was entertained by these.

Shi Xiao had always been proud of this, because the jade bracelet Qin Yu had given her in exchange for the tablet was priceless.

However, what she didn’t know was that this device had long been acting as a bridge between Qin Yu and the world outside her little bubble.

She had installed a mini eavesdropping device in Shi Yong’s study previously, and this enabled her to listen into any conspiracies or rumors.

Ning Chen from the Ning family…

Ha! It’ll be really easy to spot him in public.

She had been worried that she would not be able to get close enough to the Ning family with her demented persona to investigate what she wanted. 

However, she did not expect that her adoptive parents were already scheming to marry her off to them.

That’s right!

This way, not only could she escape from Qu Li’s despicable pursuit, but she could also successfully sneak into the affairs of the Ning family. 

It seemed that the heavens had finally opened their eyes. They have finally seen how difficult it was for her and were planning to help her this time! 

Qin Yu could not help but reveal a faint smile on her lips.

Nanny Zhang, who was beside her, was stunned at this sight. 

Such a beautiful young girl, yet she led such a bitter life, full of hardships…

Qin Yu suddenly embraced the tablet in her arms tightly and wailed. As she cried, she stomped her feet. “She died again! She died again! Ah-” 

Nanny Zhang immediately set the vacuum cleaner in her hands down and came over to comfort the temperamental young miss of the household.

“Young Miss, let’s head over to the kitchen to get something delicious.”

“Uh…” Qin Yu’s face was covered in snot and tears, but she immediately stopped crying.

Her big eyes shot wide open. “What delicious food is there in the kitchen?”

She turned her head left and right again, scanning the place. 

“Shh, take me there. Don’t let mom and sister see us.”

She said as she carried the tablet and ran to the kitchen.

“Young Miss, please slow down!” shouted Nanny Zhang, shaking her head in disbelief. 

So what if the young miss was good-looking? She was still a silly girl. What could she even do by herself in the future? The madam and second young miss did not let her roam around without their surveillance as well. They had even instructed the maids to keep an eye on her at all times. Sigh!

Shi Xiao, who was standing on the second floor, saw everything. The corners of her lips curled up into a disdainful smile.

When Shi Xiao was just four-years-old, Qin Yu had shown up in this family without notice and had taken everything that belonged to her!

Qin Yu had even been forced to share everything with her! On what grounds?

Most importantly, Qin Yu had snatched away her father’s attention and affection!

She believed that her father was biased towards Qin Yu because he would berate her countless times, but not Qin Yu. Her father, who had loved her so much, had given her share of devotion to this girl who had suddenly appeared in their family out of nowhere!

In this life, Shi Xiao and Qin Yu were irreconcilable enemies.

Seeing how Qin Yu had grown up to be extraordinarily beautiful, her jealousy grew into a bug, gnawing at her heart day and night. She was desperate to destroy Qin Yu.

No, she had to make Qin Yu’s life more miserable than death!

Only then could she repay all the pain she’d caused her to suffer all these years!
