From Sidekick to Bigshot

Chapter 469: Jian Yiling Uncovers the Truth (2)

Jian Yiling’s words made Shan Yurou’s eyes widen with surprise.

She quickly concealed the surprise in her eyes again. However, her reaction was still seen by Qin Yufan.

“You laid a trap for me and not Jian Yiling?”

Qin Yufan’s eyes turned ice cold. Her eyes seemed to be at the temperature of an icehouse.

“What? No way. Sister Fan, how could I harm you? I’ve always wanted to help you. I wanted to help you get Master Sheng’s heart and affection. I’ve never done anything else,” Shan Yurou hurriedly explained.

At this moment, Shan Yurou was no longer as assertive as before. Instead, she seemed to be like a puppy wagging her tail to please her master.

Jian Yiling quickly found fault in Shan Yurou’s words: “You’ve already contacted Zhai Yunsheng.”

Shan Yurou had already taken the initiative to contact Zhai Yunsheng. It was quite obvious what she hoped to achieve.

And this was something that Qin Yufan could ask Zhai Yunsheng about. Zhai Yunsheng would arrive soon enough anyway.

Shan Yurou looked at Jian Yiling in disbelief.

Jian Yiling’s actions and words were far beyond her expectations!

In the face of threats, wouldn’t a normal girl be scared and frightened?

Then why was Jian Yiling so calm? And why was she speaking up for Qin Yufan?

Wasn’t it better for her to deal with Qin Yufan?

Then, Qin Yufan laughed as well. She questioned Shan Yurou: “Are you planning to harm me? Or are you planning to harm the relationship between the Zhai and Qin family?”

Qin Yufan’s smile was rather contemptuous. It seemed like she despised the tactics that were used by Shan Yurou.

When she saw the contempt in Qin Yufan’s eyes, Shan Yurou suddenly began to laugh maniacally.

There was no need for her to pretend anymore. She couldn’t pretend for any longer anyway.

“Qin Yufan! Who are you to look at me with those eyes? I’m a living and breathing human being! I’m not your pet! I’m not your dog!”

“What are you talking about? Who treats you as a pet?” Qin Yufan asked with a frown. She was quite surprised that Shan Yurou’s expression had suddenly become fierce and malevolent.

“And? Am I not even worthy to be your dog?” Shan Yurou laughed. “Yes. That makes sense. You’re the Young Lady from the Qin family! You’re born with power! You’re born with a silver spoon in your mouth!”

“Your family is also reputable and well-known in the capital. There’s no need for you to see yourself like that.”

“Reputable and well-known in the capital? We just depend on the Qin family! Ever since I was little, my parents have asked me to be friends with you! They asked me to be nice to you. They told me that my family depends on your family! If I offended you in any way, our family would be in ruin! And thus, I followed you every single day like a dog! When you were happy, I would wag my tail! When you were unhappy, I would be very scared and on the edge! I was afraid that I was the one who did something wrong!”

Shan Yurou was the same age as Qin Yufan. Before Qin Yufan skipped a grade, she had studied together with Shan Yurou as well.

Every day before she left home, instead of telling her to be safe, her parents had instead told her to be nice to Qin Yufan.

And she listened to her parents. She followed Qin Yufan everywhere.

However, Qin Yufan never even really looked at her.

In Qin Yufan’s eyes, she was a dispensable existence.

Shan Yurou didn’t know what to do with her life anymore.

She didn’t want to follow Qin Yufan around anymore.

However, her mother and father wouldn’t let her do that.

They told her that she had to maintain a good relationship with Qin Yufan.

However, she didn’t know what she had to do in order to make Qin Yufan happy.

And thus, days and weeks went by.

She felt like a shadow. Sometimes she didn’t even know who she was anymore.
