Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 522: 522: Must retaliate in kind

”Mom...”

Qiu Xue was already feeling utterly wronged.

Now, seeing Yi Yilan only made things worse, she was in unbearable pain.

Tears were falling down uncontrollably...

Yi Yilan frowned slightly.

The initial anger gradually faded away.

What remained was more of a heartache!

Qiu Xue, this child, was her own flesh and blood.

She was personally taught by Yi Yilan.

Now, seeing this child in such a state...

How could her heart not ache...

”Child, what on earth happened to make you so sad?”

Yi Yilan pulled out a handkerchief and started wiping Qiu Xue’s face randomly, comforting her, ”If something happened, just tell Mom! If someone bullied you or made you unhappy, tell me, and I’ll stand up for you!”

There was an entire sense of indulgence, more than anything it was a mother’s love for her child.

Yet...

Those words left Qiu Xue speechless for a moment...

She couldn’t possibly reveal the matter with Li Yan...

Nor could she disclose what was truly bothering her...

If Yi Yilan knew she had acted on her own, doing so many things that could very well lead to her ruin...

Yi Yilan would probably be furious on the spot...

”Mom... if someone deceived me... what should I do...”

Qiu Xue had always trusted her mother and knew her way of handling things and her capabilities.

She was unable to tell directly, so she chose a more tactful approach, speaking indirectly.

”Deceived you?” Yi Yilan frowned, suspiciously asking, ”Is it about the literature class?”

A few days ago, a girl had overshadowed Qiu Xue, and this matter upset Qiu Xue for a long time. Yi Yilan obviously didn’t miss it and felt all the more lovingly guessed now.

Wanting to know what exactly made Qiu Xue so sad that she didn’t even care about her image.

”No...” Qiu Xue hurriedly shook her hand, saying, ”Just some trifles... Snow wishes to know... if Mom encountered such a thing, what would you do...”

Her words were ambiguous.

Making it impossible for Yi Yilan to fully understand!

But even so.

Yi Yilan still answered Qiu Xue’s question, ”If someone deceived me! I would never let her go! I’d definitely repay her in kind!”

Yi Yilan had always been ruthless!

In this respect.

Qiu Xue had only inherited half of it before.

In dealing with matters, she largely followed Yi Yilan’s style!

Maybe it’s because of her young age!

As Qiu Xue got older.

She encountered more things!

She truly inherited Yi Yilan’s vicious nature!

”Even if it means at all costs...”

This was what Qiu Xue most wanted to know.

It was what she valued the most!

Yi Yilan glanced at her.

Many words were brimming in her heart!

She calmed her emotions, looked Qiu Xue up and down, and said, ”A gentleman’s revenge is never too late! If it’s untimely, going to great lengths for revenge, only to hurt oneself! That would be not worth it!”

With that, she tidied Qiu Xue’s messy hair.

The smile at the corner of her mouth grew more intense, ”Remember this! Tolerance for women in this world is very small! Reputation is the most important thing for a woman, if a woman’s reputation is ruined! No one will ever trust her again!”

”I understand, Mom...”

Qiu Xue nodded, but she had long understood this point.

If not because of this, she wouldn’t have attacked Gu Tong’s reputation in both lives! Trying to drag her into the abyss!

Ultimately, it all comes down to Yi Yilan’s education.

If it weren’t for her teaching.

Qiu Xue would never be what she is today!
