Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 560: 560: The person she’s talking about is me.

Yan Xiaolan’s appearance interrupted all the calm, yet stirred up a wave; the unexpected accident had taken on a different flavor, and the atmosphere turned even more oppressive.

Qiu Xue’s plan was by no means unreasonable; each part of the initial scheme was interconnected, and this was one of those links―――

But it was apparent that her original target was Sun Caixing, though now it has become Yan Xiaolan.

Of course, the process was not important; the most crucial thing was still the result.

”Dad...”

Qiu Xue’s voice had a trembling sob, with even a bit of grievance unconsciously revealed.

Her tears flowed in streams, with no other emotion but distress.

Qiu ZhenDa’s expression was somewhat somber; uncontrollable anger filled his face, but he suppressed his furious emotions and asked, ”What on earth happened!”

Qiu ZhenDa and Yi Yilan! They only had one cherished daughter, Qiu Xue, the apple of their eye! She was their pride!

Now, upon hearing that his most precious treasure was bullied, he surely couldn’t hide his anger.

”Prince Qiu, let me tell you, someone wants to kill Qiu Xue...”

Yan Xiaolan seized the opportunity and quickly recounted all the ins and outs of the matter, leaving nothing out.

Qiu Xue was tripped, narrowly missing falling into the bonfire, and it was exaggerated as if, without some intervention, she would have been disfigured, injured, burned to death, and so on...

Her words made Qiu ZhenDa anxious and even somewhat fearful...

”Who would be so excessive! To do such a thing!”

Gu Tiancheng furrowed his brows, similarly a bit angry; Qiu Xue was a child he had watched grow up, and he had some emotional ties to her. Now seeing her bullied like this made it indeed hard to bear.

Upon Gu Tiancheng’s inquiry, Yan Xiaolan did not immediately respond; she hadn’t forgotten that Gu Tong was his daughter! By then, it would surely be covered up!

”Speak up!”

Qiu ZhenDa glared, wishing he could immediately drag out the culprit who hurt his daughter for public exposure.

”Uncle Qiu.” Gu Tong’s calm voice rang out.

She looked straight at Qiu ZhenDa and said, ”No need to ask! The person she’s talking about is me!”

As soon as the words were spoken, the whole scene was in turmoil, unable to calm down for a long time.

No one expected...

Gu Tong would actually stand up and admit it...

”Gu girl...” Qiu ZhenDa’s voice seemed caught in his throat, making him feel a little awkward.

He quickly looked towards Gu Tiancheng beside him, and said, ”Gu girl tripped Qiu Xue... this, this can’t be possible...”

Qiu Xue and Gu Tong had been together since they were little. At least in the eyes of the elders, their relationship was quite good.

Moreover, even if their relationship had issues, with Gu Tong’s character, it was impossible for her to do such a ruthless thing.

There must be some misunderstanding here...

The whole Qiu Family, perhaps only Qiu ZhenDa was this straightforward and forthright! His character was not sly, having no deceit, completely different from his wife and daughter!

”How is it impossible! It was she who tripped Qiu Xue; everyone saw it clearly with their own eyes...”

Yan Xiaolan did not expect that even Qiu Xue’s own father would not believe her.

It turns out Gu Tong could act so well...

Deceiving both Princes...

”Prince Qiu, you must stand up for Qiu Xue, if you do not help her, no one else can...”

Yan Xiaolan only found Qiu Xue pitiful, hurriedly added fuel to the fire, saying, ”You must think, this time it was the bonfire, what will it be next time? If it’s not dealt with this time, no one can guarantee that Qiu Xue won’t encounter trouble again...”
