'At first, I thought she was just a big-breasted village girl, lacking manners and upbringing. But soon I realized we were gravely mistaken.'
'She made us suffer, and even Qin Yue couldn't get the upper hand.'
'Su Le, Lin Yi, once you go, be especially careful and pay attention to every one of her tactics.'
The elders' warnings were still fresh in their minds, and the two had long been mentally prepared. As long as they succeeded, the future mistress of the Qin family would be themselves.
No matter if Qin Yue was male or female, with the identity of the mistress of the Qin family, they would be able to command respect in the circle and flaunt their status. Those who once looked down on them would soon be eager to curry favor.
As long as they could get rid of that woman!
......
Then, Bai Ningning appeared with a little girl in front of everyone.
The little girl looked super cute, and even though she seemed very young, it made the two ordinary beauties feel small.
But that wasn't the point; the point was, this was in front of Qin Yue!
And they were holding hands!
No one spoke; the air was so quiet that one could hear the sound of breathing. The three intern girls quietly raised their eyes and saw her face, which was as cold as ice, her beautiful features seemingly frozen, her heavy breathing causing her chest to rise and fall.
It was truly a scene of towering peaks and raging waves.
Anger, pure anger.
Nainai instinctively felt something was off and wanted to hide, but she was held back by Bai Ningning and couldn't escape.
Bai Ningning was puzzled, wondering why everyone had fallen silent and was staring at her. What, were there strangers present, making them shy?
"Let me introduce you, this is Nainai, a very talented illustrator, and a special member invited to our project team. Last time I mentioned she was my classmate, but that's not quite accurate; she's actually my junior. Don't be fooled by her age; her professional skills are reliable."
After introducing Nainai to Qin Yue, she then introduced Qin Yue to Nainai.
"This is President Qin, the boss of the boss of our project team."
Nainai lowered her little head and timidly said, "Hello, President Qin."
Bai Ningning felt relieved; now everyone wasn't strangers, so there was no need to be shy.
Wait, there were still a few more.
"Those over there," she thought for a moment, "Are interns."
Su Le and Lin Yi rolled their eyes secretly, thinking that even with disaster looming, she was still mocking them as interns.
"I remember now, you did mention it before," as soon as Qin Yue spoke, the temperature in the office dropped a few degrees, "A few days ago, you said you had a classmate..."
"Yes, yes, yes," Bai Ningning said happily, "It was Manager Li who helped clear up the misunderstanding."
As she spoke, she nudged Nainai's arm, and the little girl quickly responded, "Thank you, Manager Li, thank you, President Qin."
"Is that so? Where is Manager Li now?" Qin Yue crossed her arms.
"She wasn't feeling well and asked for a weekend off," Bai Ningning replied, "Specifically asked me to let you know."
Is that so? She left quite quickly.
Of course, Qin Yue understood that Manager Li wasn't the key; the key issue was...
"How about this, why don't you all chat first," Bai Ningning, seeing that no one was speaking, proactively suggested leaving, "I'll take Nainai to the project team."
Bai Ningning held Nainai's hand and was about to leave, but just a few steps out, her right hand was firmly held back.
"Let her go by herself," Qin Yue said coldly, "I have something to discuss with you at home."
Bai Ningning tilted her head and asked, "Is there something we can't talk about here?"
This place is quite nice, spacious, and there's a lounge inside with a sofa and a bed. If you get tired, you can just sleep here, it's fine.
"No," Qin Yue replied firmly, "let's go!"
"…Alright then."
"You all leave first," Qin Yue turned to the three interns and said, "We'll arrange work tomorrow."
Without waiting for their response, she pulled Bai Ningning and left the office. The few girls took a while to realize what had just happened and followed them out, their minds blank.
What just happened?
......
Qin Xin went home.
After a full three days and nights of rest, which included a boxing activity with her club, she had completely adjusted her mindset.
How did she manage to steal the red earlier? After careful consideration, Qin Xin arrived at an answer.
It was thanks to her usual calmness and restraint, as well as her straight girl persona. One success gave her immense confidence, making her aware that the path she was on was the right one.
Keep going!
Pushing open the door, Qin Xin was in a great mood.
"Good morning, Aunt Zou."
"Second Miss, you're back," Aunt Zou, who was cleaning the living room, came over, "Did you get used to staying at school these past few days?"
"Not really, but it was okay," Qin Xin replied, "So I came back quickly."
After all, someone was missing from school; even though most of the time she could only see but not touch, at least she could look.
When at school, she could only look at photos.
Before the two could exchange a few more words, they suddenly heard the sound of high heels clicking, and Qin Yue returned.
But this sound felt a bit heavy, as if Qin Yue had gained a lot of weight.
Qin Xin and Aunt Zou looked up and saw Qin Yue with a frosty expression, carrying Bai Ningning into the inner room, not even glancing at her sister or the maid.
Bai Ningning tried to struggle, but aside from shaking her legs, she had no other way to resist.
Qin Yue charged into the bedroom, threw Bai Ningning onto the bed, and left a parting remark:
"Just wait for me."
Then she locked the door and turned to the bedroom.
"Aunt Zou," she instructed, "Where's the stuff I bought last time?"
"In the fridge," Aunt Zou replied.
Qin Yue yanked open the fridge door, took out a bottle of Red Bull energy drink, twisted off the cap, and started drinking.
The key issue was that she had already discussed this with Dr. Chen last time. It was that she hadn't completely dealt with Bai Ningning yet, allowing that little green tea to still have the energy to look for someone else.
Unfortunately, the course on Jekyll was not over yet, so Qin Yue could only temporarily boost her combat power with energy drinks.
Seeing this scene, Qin Xin had a guess in her heart.
If this were before, she would be in pain right now. But now, she was overjoyed.
"Sister, although I don't know what Ningning did again, you better take it easy," she casually said, "Don't let her get hurt again."
Injury was a must; that way, she could help with the medicine again.
"It's fine, I won't," Qin Yue put down the water bottle, "I won't use that thing again, she won't get hurt."
What? Not using it?
Qin Xin was stunned for a moment: "Why not?"
Please don't stop using it.
"I have my reasons," Qin Yue brushed off her sister's question, saying dismissively, "Anyway, relying on myself is enough."
No way, do you really think you can do it? Without that thing, what do you have to rely on?
Qin Xin became anxious, "Sister, if you don't use that thing, can you really keep it under control?"
"Why do you say that?" Qin Yue frowned, displeased.
