Chapter 107 Miss, you're being a bit too arrogant.
At this moment, Qin Yu's gaze suddenly softened. Although a cold smile appeared on his lips, she could feel the turmoil in his heart.
"I will also do my utmost," Qin Yu finally said, his tone carrying a hint of seriousness.
Just as the atmosphere eased slightly, the door opened, and the person who entered instantly heightened the tension, signaling an impending dramatic turn of events. Their struggle was far from over.
Yu Yuetong felt suffocated. The atmosphere before her was like a taut string, and extreme unease made her heart race. She was no longer the naive, fallen heiress from a wealthy family. Her opponent, Ji Momo, was like a ferocious cheetah, and the current atmosphere felt like an invisible blade surging, ready to pierce her defenses at any moment.
“Listen,” Yu Yuetong subconsciously raised her chin, trying to maintain her dignity under the pressure of Ji Momo’s gaze, “I think our struggle is pointless. For the sake of the family’s interests, cooperation is the key.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu turned his head slightly, seemingly surprised by Yue Tong's composure. She saw the growing attention in his eyes, and a warmth spread through her heart, but she had to suppress it. She didn't want to be defeated by gentleness at this moment, nor did she want to become a weak woman in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Ji Momo's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Oh? Hearing you say that, I'm starting to wonder if you think you're some kind of innocent white lotus." She moved slightly closer, and Yu Yuetong's face revealed a hint of contempt, as if she were scrutinizing her prey.
"Don't get too cocky." Yu Yuetong bit her lip and unintentionally gave Ji Momo a quick counterattack as she raised her hand. "Who knows what sinister intentions you have behind this?" After saying this, she felt a jolt in her heart, as if she were playing a dangerous game.
"Oh, Miss, you're being a bit too arrogant." Ji Momo raised an eyebrow slightly, her resentment becoming particularly grating with her cold laugh. Just as she was about to speak, Qin Yu stepped forward.
"Enough!" His voice boomed like thunder, carrying an indescribable air of authority that froze the atmosphere. He parted his legs slightly, his gaze sweeping across Yu Yuetong and Ji Momo's faces like knives, seemingly driven by a strong sense of territoriality.
“We don’t have time to fight each other here. Joining forces to deal with the threat to our families is what we need to focus on right now.” He turned around to face Yu Yuetong, and the firmness in his eyes stirred something within her.
Just then, the door suddenly opened, and the person stepping through the doorway added an even more tense atmosphere to the scene. He was Qin Yu's father, Qin Xian, his face etched with dissatisfaction and anger towards the newlyweds. Even though the authority of the older generation was chilling, the fact that Yu Yuetong and Qin Yu were working together at this moment clearly displeased him.
"You two seem to have forgotten your responsibilities!" His voice was like a rolling stone, carrying undeniable power. "As members of the Qin family, you have a responsibility to uphold the family's honor, not to fight over trivial matters here!"
“Father, we are discussing how to deal with the issue of family interests,” Qin Yu replied coldly, his tone revealing a hint of resistance.
Qin Xian snorted coldly, staring directly at Yu Yuetong with an almost scrutinizing look: "You, from now on, must always maintain your proper position and not try to be too flamboyant, lest you disrupt the atmosphere of the Qin family." The blatant humiliation caused Yu Yuetong's expression to change slightly, but she gritted her teeth and remained silent.
She thought to herself: Back then, her family had paid too much for the glory of the Qin family, but now, they were pushing her into the limelight.
“I know what I should do. Thank you for reminding me,” Yu Yuetong retorted, her tone calm but tinged with dissatisfaction. She immediately noticed a complex light in Qin Yu’s eyes, as if he were finding some emotional resonance through her.
Just when everyone's emotions seemed to have reached a new critical point, Ji Momo suddenly interrupted: "No matter what, you are still a poor second-generation who is looked down upon by others. How dare you discuss family matters with us?" Her voice was filled with fearless mockery, like a blade piercing deep into Yu Yuetong's heart.
"Do you really think you can gain approval just by saying a few harsh words here?" Yu Yuetong didn't expect her to respond so quickly. Her breathing became rapid, and she leaned forward slightly, trying to keep her mind clear.
"Shut up!" Qin Yu clenched his fists tightly, as if suppressing his anger to the limit. He successfully attracted everyone's attention, his eyes flashing with conflicting emotions.
"Are you trying to provoke us into a fight with these stupid words? How ridiculous." Qin Yu shoved Ji Momo away without any mercy, as if the balance between them had been broken.
Yu Yuetong felt a surge of emotions, a mixture of surprise and relief. "It seems that although our relationship is still tense, he is indeed on my side." She smiled slightly, feeling as if she had found a companion at this moment.
However, just when she thought the storm was about to subside, she heard faint whispers behind her, and a sense of unease crept into her heart. As the tension in the air grew even stronger, several adult men in suits walked in, exuding a strong business aura. Clearly, they were there to stir up an even bigger storm in this drama.
The atmosphere instantly tensed up again, and Qin Yu's expression changed abruptly. He leaned slightly towards Yue Tong, as if worried that she would become a target of these henchmen.
“We need to find a way to prevent these people from discovering our weaknesses,” he whispered in her ear, his voice tinged with urgency.
“Of course.” Yu Yuetong’s courage surged, and she involuntarily widened her eyes, as if to signal him not to let his guard down. Her body unconsciously leaned forward, as if she already understood the treachery and intrigue within this family.
In the tense atmosphere, the emotions of everyone involved were like taut bowstrings, ready to explode at any moment. Yu Yuetong slightly adjusted her posture, trying to seek some support from Qin Yu. However, Qin Yu's expression grew increasingly gloomy, as if every word he uttered carried a sharp thorn. In this delicate atmosphere, he suddenly grabbed Yu Yuetong's hand and whispered, "I won't let them look down on you."
Yu Yuetong was taken aback, a sudden warmth washing over her, but at this moment, the feeling seemed somewhat inappropriate. She realized that several pairs of hostile eyes were secretly scrutinizing her outside, which made her vaguely nervous. The warmth emanating from her tightly clenched hands reminded her not to forget the presence of this unexpected partner.
"I'm not afraid of them." Yu Yuetong feigned strength, but her heart trembled slightly. She had never imagined that she would be valued so highly, expressed with a force that seemed to crush her bones.
