“I don’t know what her contact number is either!” Mrs. Qin shouted almost angrily. The phone calls these past few days had really tortured her until her nerves were weak. “If you call me again, I’ll call the police and sue you for harassment.”

After venting her anger, Mrs. Qin immediately hung up the phone. Exhausted, she slumped onto the sofa, only to see Qin Xue coming down the stairs.

“Xiao Xue, why did you come down?” Under normal circumstances, Qin Xue would return to her room after dinner. She would either study or practice the zither and dance.

“I want to get something to drink. I feel that my mouth is a little bitter.” Qin Xue put on a delicate look.

“I will help you get it.” Mrs. Qin stood up and went to the kitchen to get a bottle of yogurt. She had always been the most concerned about her daughter. “It’s a little late now. It’s better not to drink those carbonated drinks. After all, it’s not good for your health.”

“Thank you, Mom.” Qin Xue was still as obedient as ever. “What are those calls just now?” These few days, although Qin Xue often stayed upstairs, she knew that the phone at home kept ringing.

“Those calls were all to look for that cheap girl, Qin Ran. All in all, I don’t know what kind of luck this wretched girl had to be so lucky to be able to become the top scholar. She must have secretly prayed in her previous life.”

“It’s all my fault, Mom. I’m not as smart as my sister and I’m not as lucky as her either. Although her results are usually not ideal, it’s more important than anything for her to get first place in the college entrance examination.” Qin Xue lowered her head and spoke slowly with a tone that was filled with guilt. She had always felt that the reason why Qin Ran was able to score so well must be because she had used some sort of unorthodox method. Otherwise, how could she become the top scholar just based on her alone?

“Silly child, what are you saying? You’re the smartest in my heart. You’re the best.” After seeing her daughter so sad, Mrs. Qin’s heart ached.

“Mom and Dad love me so much, but I can’t bring honor to the Qin family for Mom and Dad. And because of my celebration party, many of our business partners saw me as a joke. This is all my fault. I really don’t have the face to see you guys again.” Sparkling teardrops dripped down one by one, and Qin Xue cried like a pear blossom bathed in rain.

“It’s not your fault, Xiao Xue. It’s all because of Qin Ran. She clearly knows how important the people there were. She clearly knows how embarrassing it would be for our Qin family if she were to say those family scandals on the spot. However, she still does things her own way and doesn’t consider the feelings of her family.”

In Mrs. Qin’s opinion, Qin Ran had done this on purpose to vent her hatred so that the Qin family would lose face in front of everyone.

“Xiao Xue, why are you crying like this? Who bullied you? Let me take revenge for you.” Qin Xiang said anxiously when he saw the scene.

“No one bullied me. I was angry that I didn’t do well in the college entrance examination and embarrassed my parents.” Qin Xue wiped her tears and looked at Qin Xiang with tears all over her face.

“This is nothing. You are already very good.” Qin Xiang patted Qin Xue’s shoulder and comforted her.

“However, I have already thought it through. As the daughter of Dad and Mom, I naturally have to help my parents resolve their troubles. Since Sis is not willing to marry into the Fu Family and even ran away from home, I am willing. As long as our family can be as happy as before, Xiao Xue is willing to do anything.” Qin Xue had a look of righteousness as though she was sacrificing herself for her family.

“Good daughter, don’t say such silly things. If it was in the past, I would have prepared a dowry for you and married you off to the Fu family in glory. But things are different now. That Fu family’s youth is already half a cripple. Why would I still let you marry him? Isn’t this burying your happiness for the rest of your life?” Mrs. Qin covered her chest and said heartachingly. Ever since Mr. Qin carried Qin Xue back from outside, Mrs. Qin had always treated her as her biological daughter. Everything she did was arranged according to the best standards. She could not even compare to her three brothers.

She had raised her so well for so many years. How could she bear to let her become a widow in the Fu family?

“However, the Fu family is unwilling to let us off. What can we do? Are we really going to cut off all of our Qin family’s businesses?” Qin Xue was crying like this not because she really wanted to marry into the Fu family, but because she wanted Mrs. Qin to think of a way.

After all, she knew that Mrs. Qin had the gold beads that could raise the conditions for Qin Ran.
