After Bankruptcy, the Billionaire Asked Me to Marry Him!-Chapter 290: We are sisters

Ye Li turned around and saw Qin Chu standing in the doorway of the bedroom.

Immediately startled, she got up and ran over.

Having known Qin Chu for so many years, she had never cried when she was attacked and insulted by those green tea bitches.

Nor did she shed a tear when Qin Shu Ya had people play tricks on her, dousing her in alcohol and smashing cream over her head.

But today, without anything happening, she cried uncontrollably, as if she had suffered the greatest injustice in the world.

Ye Li was terrified!

She touched her head, "What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

And gently stroked her back, "Chu Chu, nothing happened, it’s all over now, everything’s alright..."

Then hugged her tightly.

The fear that surged through Qin Chu at that moment was overwhelming; she couldn’t bear to think what might have happened to her tonight if it hadn’t been for Ye Li.

Holding Ye Li, Qin Chu’s tears flowed ceaselessly.

It took a good while for her emotions to calm down.

Seeing that the champagne gold of Ye Li’s dress was now completely wet with her tears, Qin Chu choked up, "Lizi, I... hic... this dress... it’s ruined, I’ll compensate you with a new one!"

Ye Li’s eyes smiled, yet her face showed distaste, "One dress? You’re joking! Do you know how expensive this one is? It’s got to be at least two!"

"Alright! Ten, ten should do, right?"

"That’s more like it!"

Ye Li opened the fridge to get some wine.

Qin Chu went to the dressing room to look for pajamas.

A few minutes later, the two squeezed shoulder to shoulder into the narrow bathtub.

They clinked glasses, Qin Chu drank the milk with distaste, and looked at Ye Li with sparkling eyes, "How did you know I was going to be in danger tonight?"

And arranged for bodyguards in advance.

"I didn’t know..."

Ye Li shrugged, her upper lip adorned with a milk mustache, "Better safe than sorry, it’s always right to be prepared."

"Mrs. Fu, you are absolutely brilliant!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

After lavishing exaggerated flattery, Qin Chu turned and embraced Ye Li, "Lizi, thank you!"

Ye Li hugged Qin Chu, "No need to thank me... we are sisters, after all!"

Eyeing Qin Chu’s expression and seeing she had calmed down, Ye Li cautiously asked, "Tonight, could it have been Qin Zhong Song who was plotting against you?"

"No."

Though she never acknowledged Qin Zhong Song as her father, Qin Chu shook her head decisively, "He may not be a good man, but his character is still impeccable. Sadly, a good bamboo produces a foul shoot!"

Ye Li was momentarily stunned, then understood.

It was very likely Qin Shu Ya, who openly and secretly maligned Qin Chu, or perhaps Mr. Qin, who was always plotting.

Thinking of the scream she heard as she left the banquet hall, Ye Li’s lips curled slightly, "What goes around comes around, they’ll get their comeuppance in due time!"

As she spoke, Qin Chu’s phone started to ring.

She answered the call, and a voice—urgent and piercing—came through, "Chu Chu, are you alright?... Those bastards of the Qin family, I knew it, not a good egg among them! Do you know what bad blood they were brewing tonight? That idiot son of the Hu Family was there too, hid the whole evening on the third floor’s guest room..."

"An entire brood of heartless bastards! The Hu family has caused how many deaths these past few years, all by that idiot son’s doings, daring to plot against me and my daughter, this time I swear I won’t rest until Wen Suxin is dead, I..."

"Mom!"

The good mood was gone in an instant, Qin Chu interrupted Yao Wanying’s furious tirade, her voice ice-cold, "As long as Mrs. Qin is alive, she serves as your comparison. Qin Zhong Song is nostalgic and not greedy for novelty, allowing you to live comfortably for the rest of your life. But if she were to die..."

Qin Chu took a breath, "If she died, do you think Qin Zhong Song would marry you? Would he let you step through the gates of the Qin family? Even if he was willing, would Qin Yuchen and Qin Shuya let you off? I was lucky tonight, Lizi was there for me, but who can guard you 24 hours a day, every step you take? By the time it happens, you won’t even know how you died!"

"Mom, come to your senses, stop deluding yourself!"

Silence fell on the other end of the phone.
