Ye Qian calmly took a sip of coffee. “I didn’t expect you to hate her so much.”

Gu Yan sneered. “Don’t you hate her?”

Ye Qian smiled. “I do.”

Gu Yan’s expression softened as she looked at Ye Qian.

Ye Qian smiled. “What’s wrong?”

Gu Yan said, “Since we both don’t like her, why don’t we form an alliance?”

Ye Qian raised her eyebrows but didn’t say anything.

Gu Yan said, “I’ll give you information about Lu Yan, and you’ll make her suffer!”

Ye Qian smiled and said plainly, “I’m not interested in forming an alliance, but if you’re willing to give me information about her, I’m willing to pay according to the value.”

Gu Yan was stunned.

Ye Qian asked, “What do you think?”

Gu Yan gritted her teeth. “Deal!”

The three of us were in a corner on the second floor, gasping in amazement.

Ye Qian was incredible. She was born with a bewitching charm. When she felt like it, she could even turn her enemy into an ally. It was amazing.

Seeing that the meeting was over, the three of us hurriedly scrambled over to pay our respects to our idol.

Ye Qian wasn’t surprised to see us. She said somewhat helplessly, “Can’t we be a little more mature?”

I said shamelessly, “Why should we be mature in front of our idol?”

Ye Qian smiled and shook her head.

Mai Qi asked, “Why did you use Gu Yan to get information? Can we trust her? Can she even get any core information?”

Jing Ni and I were also very curious.

Ye Qian said calmly, “It doesn’t matter whether she can get information or not. The authenticity of the information is also not important.”

“Then what’s important?” The three of us looked at Ye Qian like idiots.

Ye Qian smiled faintly. “What’s important is that from now on, she will always think of how to get the information and sell it to me. And after she has received a few generous payments from me, she will unknowingly see herself as my informant. Then, we’ll have someone helping us from the inside.”

I gave Ye Qian a thumbs up. “That’s amazing.”

Mai Qi sighed. “Can you tell me how I can have such a quick reaction and such a meticulous train of thought like you?”

Ye Qian smiled. “You won’t have it.”

“Eh?” Mai Qi was puzzled and unconvinced.

Ye Qian smiled. “This kind of reaction is cultivated since birth. The environment is the most important. When I was growing up in an orphanage, the first thing I knew was that the strong preyed on the weak.

“Later on, when I was living under someone else’s roof, I had to work hard in order to gain attention. So all of this became my instinctive reaction. What about you? In the past, you were a princess, so you never had to do anything. In the future, when you’re the Queen, I’m afraid that Master Si will put the whole world in your hands and won’t bear to see you suffer a little. So, you don’t need to have this kind of ability.”

Mai Qi stuck out her tongue.

Jing Ni and I patted her head. “Be good. Don’t be sad.”

The three of us laughed. Ye Qian looked at us, her eyes filled with love and admiration.

I looked left and right. “Where’s cousin Mo? Where is he? Shouldn’t he come with you? I thought that when Gu Yan slandered you, he would come out as a hero to save the damsel in distress. I know you can handle yourself, but Cousin Mo would be going insane.”

As I was speaking, I suddenly saw a group of people walking down the stairs from the second floor.

Jing Tian?

Uncle Tong Le and cousin Mo were beside him, but that wasn’t the main point.

The main point was the woman standing beside Jing Tian, who couldn’t take her eyes off Jing Tian.
