Chapter 497: Thank You, Qu Lu

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Qu Lu.” Yin Xun stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Qu Lu.

Under Qu Lu’s puzzled gaze, Yin Xun spoke slowly, “You don’t have to threaten me. If you want to do something to me, go ahead and do it. If you’re not afraid of the consequences, do what you like. I’m not interested in fighting over a man. If it’s not my property, I don’t care. If it belongs to me, then no one can stop me. If you have the time to keep watch over me, why don’t you go and win over Fang Yao? Perhaps he’ll have a better impression of you.”

She thought that Qu Lu was here to stick to Fang Yao, but she was actually marking her. Was this not just treating the symptoms instead of resolving the root of the problem? If she just wanted to get with Fang Yao, why did Qu Lu have to look for her?

Moreover, ever since Yin Xun met Fang Yao, she had never crossed the line. It was just normal contact between business partners. Why was she so worried about her?

However, Qu Lu did not seem to agree.

“No, I’m wary about you. If 1 keep an eye on you, you won’t cross the line. Auntie asked me to watch you.” Qu Lu rejected Yin Xun’s suggestion.

So, it was Lin Chan’s idea. Fang Yao’s mother was really protective of her precious son.

Yin Xun shrugged. “Anyway, I don’t care. If it suits you, just keep watching me.” With that, she walked toward her employees.

Qu Lu stuck to her word. She followed Yin Xun step by step.

When the employees of Xintao saw Yin Xun coming over, they greeted her one after another.

Qu Lu, who had been quietly following behind her, suddenly said loudly, “Miss Yin, I see that you were unable to fork out the expenses for this trip. That’s why you had to organize it together with Yao. If you have any difficulties, you can just tell me. It’s not like you don’t know about my relationship with Yao. His friends are my friends. I can help you pay this sixty thousand yuan.”

Yin Xun knew what Qu Lu meant when she said this. She wanted to embarrass her in front of his employees. However, Qu Lu apparently did not understand her at all.

“Do you need me to return the money?” Yin Xun looked up at her.

Qu Lu was stunned. She did not expect Yin Xun to ask such a question. She thought that Yin Xun would say some grateful words or feel embarrassed in front of so many people.

She actually asked her if she needed to return the money! If Yin Xun spent someone else’s money, she would definitely have to return it. However, Qu Lu could not say this. If she did, it would sound too petty.

At this moment, it was as if she had been thrown into a fire by Yin Xun. No matter how she answered, she would lose.

However, because she had spoken so loudly, many employees heard her. Even the Fang Corporation employees walked over curiously to see what was going on.

She did not have to worry about Xintao’s employees, but she could not ignore the Fang Corporation’s employees’ opinions.

She had no choice. For the sake of her pride, she gritted her teeth and said, “Of course not. We’re friends after all.”

Yin Xun smiled and thanked her. “I didn’t expect you to be so generous. Thank you.” At the same time, she said to her employees, “Everyone, thank Miss Qu Lu for her generosity. She and President Fang booked this place and invited us to have fun here!”

“Thank you, Miss Qu!” The employees thanked Qu Lu one after another.

Qu Lu’s expression immediately changed. If the two of them had said this in private, she could just deny it later and pretend that she never said anything. She did not expect Yin Xun to tell all her staff. Did she not feel embarrassed?

If so many people knew about it, she had no choice but to fork out the money.

Not far away, Fang Yao, who was talking to the employees, noticed the situation over there. After saying a few more words, he walked toward Yin Xun.

When Yin Xun saw Fang Yao coming over, she greeted him and said, “Fang Yao, ATiss Qu said that she will help pay for my share, so you can just ask her for it. Isn’t that right, ATiss Qu?”

“Mm… That’s right…” Qu Lu had wanted to embarrass Yin Xun and show off her generosity, but the tables had somehow been turned.

Fang Yao immediately understood what Yin Xun meant. He nodded and said, “Alright, cash or transfer. If you don’t have it now, you can pay me when we get back.”

Qu Lu looked at Fang Yao sadly and asked, “Yao, do you really want this?”

Yin Xun raised her eyebrows. “Miss Qu, do you not plan to cover my expenses? You should have told me earlier. I wouldn’t have forced you.”

Initially, she had not planned to make things difficult for Qu Lu. However, since Qu Lu had taken the initiative to provoke her, she could not blame her for this.

If Qu Lu said that she did not want to pay for her, she could not force her.

However, to Qu Lu, it would be embarrassing if she admitted that she would not help to pay.

60,000 yuan was just one less chunk of cash for her. Although she was not pleased, she was the one who suggested it first. It would be embarrassing to go back on her word.

“Of course not. I was just asking. I’ll transfer the money when we get back,” said Qu Lu.

Yin Xun and Fang Yao looked at each other with an amused look in their eyes..
