Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ling Xue had an idea and looked at Xu Lian in surprise. “Pei Xin harmed the Xu family? What… What’s going on?”

Looking at Ling Xue’s sincere face, Xu Lian suddenly had a strong desire to confide in her. It had been a long time since she had spoken to someone about her problems.

“Lu Huai already agreed to help the Xu family, but Pei Xin must have said something to change his mind. Now, we can’t get his help no matter what he’s saying.” Xu Lian’s eyes were red. “If the Lu family doesn’t cooperate, the other families are in danger too. The Xu family is on the verge of collapse because of them.”

She did not mention that the reason Lu Huai was mad was because she lied.

She only said that everything was Pei Xin’s fault. At this point, Xu Lian began to believe her lie.

If it weren’t for Pei Xin, she felt that even if Lu Huai found out something, he wouldn’t have gone that far to betray the Xu family.

Ling Xue had also heard about the current situation of the Xu family. She had long wanted to work together with Xu Lian. Now that she had delivered herself to her doorstep, she immediately took this opportunity.

“Miss Xu, Pei Xin does like to… sow discord.” Ling Xue was a little hesitant as if she did not want to speak ill of her behind her back. “She knows how much the Xu family is struggling. How could she do this?”

She sighed again. “Lu Li just came back from the police station and his parents went abroad. If 1 knew about it sooner, 1 would have helped you.”

What she meant was that she wanted to help, but she could not do it without the Lu family’s backing.

Of course, Xu Lian did not expect Ling Xue to help her so easily. Ling Xue was a girl raised by an ordinary family. She was still learning about the world of the rich. Xu Lian did not believe that she was someone who did not have any means. They were both young ladies from big families. Schemes were easy to pick up on.

“Ling Xue, you’re the real daughter of the Pei family. You have the highest status among all of us. One sentence from you is equivalent to a hundred sentences from Pei Xin.” Xu Lian knew what Ling Xue cared about the most status. “But as long as Pei Xin is here and Lu Huai helps her, you and Lu Li will not be able to live in peace. Wasn’t it Pei Xin’s fault that your life was ruined? She just doesn’t want to see you live peacefully.”

Ling Xue snorted coldly. Of course, she knew who was to blame for this matter. Pei Xin was pretty amazing. Of all the men, she found Lu Huai as her backer. She heard that he trusted Pei Xin more than Lu Li.

Seeing the change in Ling Xue’s expression, Xu Lian was sure that she took the bait.

She quickly half-knelt by the bed. “Miss Pei, 1 know you hate Pei Xin too. If we work together, we will definitely be able to deal with her. 1 hope you can help me. Only you, the real daughter of the Pei family, can help me now.”

Ling Xue felt powerful. Although she was the real young lady of the Pei Family, few people in the circle actually fawned over her. Even if they did, it was for the sake of Lu Li.

She knew that she came from an ordinary family. These people looked down on her and often ignored her.

“How do you want me to help you? 1… I’m not in my best condition.” Ling Xue looked at Xu Lian sincerely.

“Ten million. The Xu family still has a ten million gap in their project. As long as you can help cover that, I’ll do anything.” Xu Lian looked at her with a burning gaze.

The corner of Ling Xue’s eyes twitched. Xu Lian was being impolite, asking for ten million was too much!

Xu Lian was afraid that she was unwilling to help, so she quickly said, “Consider this ten million as an investment. 1 can help you get rid of Pei Xin, any method will do.”

“Help me with what?” Ling Xue sneered. “Miss Xu, don’t you also want to get rid of Pei Xin? I heard that because of her, Lu Huai berated you in front of the whole company. Don’t make this whole situation sound so dignified. Pei Xin isn’t from the Pei family. Does it look like 1 care about what happens to her?”

Seeing that Ling Xue was no longer pretending to be nice, Xu Lian decided to stop pretending as well. “Of course, you care. If you don’t, why do you want her kidney? You want her life! I’m your most reliable ally now, as long as you can save the Xu family, you have a standing chance.”

The two women looked at each other. Neither of them wanted to give in.

Ling Xue’s blood started to boil when she thought about how she almost ended up in the police station. She finally caved in. “I’ll give you three million first. Consider that as an investment. After the matter is settled, the rest of the money should be transferred to my account.”

Xu Lian nodded vigorously. The Xu family could not afford to ask for loans. It was good to have some cash flow.

However, Ling Xue immediately raised a new condition. “Since you agree to this, you have to let me know what happens immediately. Pei Xin isn’t easy to deal with. You should start with her son. Remember, only 1 can help you now..”
