Chapter 591: 322 Schadenfreude

Cheng Lin didn’t think before she undermined Zhao Qiankun, but while she didn’t give face to Zhao Qiankun, others dared not do the same. So, everyone pretended they heard nothing, or just smiled and turned away, continuing their conversations with others, or delivered a few compliments to save Zhao Qiankun’s face.

Cheng Lin was keenly aware of everyone’s attitude, and she wanted to say more, but Zhao Qiankun gripped her hand tightly. He glared at her as a warning, and seeing the tears in her eyes and her aggrieved expression, he worried she would cause more trouble, so he quickly pulled her out of the hall.

Fang Yuxin saw this, exchanged glances with her family, and prepared to take this opportunity to leave. However, at that moment, Fang Yuxin felt two malicious stares. She turned to look and found, to her surprise, that it was Lu Weiwei and Qu Qianlin. It seemed they resented her for not helping just now and had taken it out on her!

Lu Weiwei suddenly spoke up, "The Qu Family and the Fang Family indeed have no relation. I hope you remember what you said today. You should know, there’s no medicine for regret in this world!"

Qu Qianhe couldn’t hold back her anger and was about to speak when Fang Jintang suddenly said, "Mr. Qu has always indulged his respected wife’s rudeness towards my wife and children. Is it because he thinks the Fang Family has no one to stand up for them?"

Qu Xiuhong found himself bearing the brunt of the words but certainly couldn’t scold his wife in front of everyone, which would be too embarrassing! Hesitating, he turned to Qu Qianhe and said, "Qianhe, she is after all your—"

Qu Qianhe didn’t let him finish and retorted, "Mr. Qu must be getting old, his ears not working well. Didn’t you hear your wife? We don’t have anything to do with the Qu Family!" She sneered coldly, disdainfully glanced at Lu Weiwei, and continued, "Lu, you can rest assured, we’re not the least bit interested in what the Qu Family has!" After speaking, she took Fang Yuxin’s hand, preparing to leave.

No one stopped them, as this was Zhao Qiankun’s place. Aside from Zhao Qiankun’s own people, no one else dared to make a fuss. Ironically, Zhao Qiankun was not there, so naturally, no one would stop the Fang Family from leaving. Before leaving, Fang Yuxin made sure to glance at Bai Ye, who nodded at her, signaling her to go on ahead.

He had matters to deal with and couldn’t leave for the time being. Given that Zhao Qiankun had already set his sights on Fang Yuxin, leaving her there was the last thing Bai Ye wanted.

Once the Fang Family left, the hall buzzed again with excitement. Many gathered in small groups, whispering about everything that had just transpired. Despite not knowing the extent of Fang Yuxin’s superpowers, they all comprehended that this woman was not to be trifled with. She had easily taken all the abuse, from Qu Qianlin’s insults to Cheng Lin’s provocations, and turned it around with just a few words to slap their faces—her tactics were formidable!

Looking at Qu Xiuhong and Qu Qiancheng with frowns and burdens on their minds, many couldn’t help feeling schadenfreude, and some even started to sympathize with them. Although the Qu Family had established the Star Mercenary Corps Group, their family was not flourishing, and they lacked strong members, which meant they barely had control over the entire Mercenary Corps. In fact, there was already trouble within the Corps, with some plotting to seize power from the Qu Family!

With both internal and external troubles, Qu Xiuhong and Qu Qiancheng placed great importance on the Fang Family. Although the members of the Fang Family were all Second-level Superpower Users without a Level 3 among them, and with only four people in total, additional manpower could always provide additional strength. Moreover, Fang Yuxin was a rare Second-level Wood Element Superpower User. Should she join the Qu Family, her involvement would certainly tip the scales even more in their favor. If she could advance to Level 3 soon, her significance would only increase!

Unfortunately, before Qu Xiuhong and Qu Qiancheng could take action, the situation was thrown into chaos by the second-generation rich Qu Qianlin, who not only offended the Fangs but also repeatedly did so. It was one thing to do small moves in private, but now he had caused a scene at Zhao Qiankun’s gathering, which was utterly disgraceful!

And then there was Lu Weiwei! How infuriating Qu Xiuhong felt inside! He’d always considered Lu Weiwei to be understanding, with her only flaw being her tendency to cry, which was somewhat vexing. But now, not only did Qu Qianlin act ignorantly, Lu Weiwei had also meddled nonsensically! This incident meant that the Fang Family and the Qu Family had become complete enemies, eliminating any remaining chance for the Qu Family to reconcile with them.
