章節 196: Don't Give In

Ling Xue had an idea and looked at Xu Lian in surprise. "Pei Xin harmed the Xu family? What… What's going on?"

Looking at Ling Xue's sincere face, Xu Lian suddenly had a strong desire to confide in her. It had been a long time since she had spoken to someone about her problems.

"Lu Huai already agreed to help the Xu family, but Pei Xin must have said something to change his mind. Now, we can't get his help no matter what he's saying." Xu Lian's eyes were red. "If the Lu family doesn't cooperate, the other families are in danger too. The Xu family is on the verge of collapse because of them."

She did not mention that the reason Lu Huai was mad was because she lied. She only said that everything was Pei Xin's fault. At this point, Xu Lian began to believe her lie.

If it weren't for Pei Xin, she felt that even if Lu Huai found out something, he wouldn't have gone that far to betray the Xu family.
