Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 209 Mutual Help and Benefit
Xiao Shen didn't come to the company all morning. Su Ying didn't know what he was busy with. Well, his main business was the Xiao Group, and he didn't have the energy to manage all the companies under it, let alone this one in Haicheng. It was just a small side business for him. He could come or not come as he pleased. Anyway, there were plenty of people eager to manage the company for him. Even if he came to the company, it would just be a matter of signing his name or doing something, just going through the motions.

With him gone, Su Ying felt much more relaxed and even ate more for lunch, praying that he would never come back.

Buzz —

Her phone vibrated, and she thought it was Xiao Shen giving her orders to torment her, but when she saw the caller ID, she couldn't help but frown.

"looking for me?"

"Let's meet, Su Ying!"

teahouse.

The waitress, dressed in a cheongsam with a side slit, had a slender figure and a classical beauty in her eyes and brows, like a young lady from a wealthy family in ancient times.

Their tea-brewing skills were skillful and professional; the delicate aroma of tea filled the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Qian Xingjie was so engrossed in watching it that he almost dropped his phone.

"Miss, I really enjoy drinking tea. How about we add each other on WeChat so I can ask you for advice in the future?"

Qian Xingjie shamelessly asked for the girl's contact information, which made Su Ying pout.

If Su Wen dares to imitate this, she definitely won't tolerate it.

"Qian Xingjie, you asked me to come here just to pick up girls?"

Qian Xingjie then snapped out of his daze, contentedly putting his phone away. "Let's have some tea first!"

Su Ying glanced at the time, impatiently saying, "I don't have as much time to squander as you do!"

These words were meant to mock him, implying that all he did was eat, drink, and have fun, and spend his time with Qian Ke'er without doing anything good. However, Qian Xingjie didn't care about the sarcasm.

"By the way, how did you know I was in Haicheng?"

Qian Xingjie shrugged. "If Qian Ke'er can come here, why can't I?"

He looked around. "I didn't expect you to hide here. But you really underestimate Qian Ke'er. She's much more capable than you think!"

Su Ying held the teacup and gently blew away the steam. "What can I do? I can't just wait to die, can I? I'm not powerful like you. I'm just an ordinary citizen. Escaping is the only way to protect myself!"

Qian Xingjie leaned back, smiling as he stared at her. "Actually, I really admire you. Anyone else would have collapsed long ago. You're definitely the first person to have survived under Qian Keren's nose for so long!"

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Su Ying didn't want to waste time talking to him; besides, he was Qian Ke'er's man, and who knew what his intentions were? Qian Xingjie suddenly leaned forward, his expression serious. "Do you particularly hate Qian Ke'er?"

Su Ying raised an eyebrow. "So?"

He pulled a file folder from behind him and threw it at me. “Over the years, I don’t know how many people have died at Qian Ke’er’s hands. Some were forced to jump off buildings, some were drowned by being thrown into water, and some were beaten to death. You’ve never seen any of these, have you? I have. I’ve seen them with my own eyes. In front of her, life is not even worth as much as a cat or dog. She can kill someone without even blinking an eye. This is the evidence I have. As long as you take this and expose it to the media, I believe she will be finished!”

The evidence in the document is very complete, and it also includes a USB drive containing photos and videos of Qian Ke'er causing harm to people's lives.

Su Wen had investigated before, but unfortunately, he couldn't find any valid evidence.

"You want to use me to get rid of Qian Ke'er?" Su Ying put her hand back on her diploma, looked up at him, and blurted out.

Qian Xingjie didn't pretend, "You can interpret it that way! Of course, you can also interpret it as eliminating a scourge for the people!"

Su Ying shook her head. "I just don't understand. Qian Ke'er is your sister. You were raised by the Qian family. What you're doing is ungrateful. Why?"

Qian Xingjie's expression suddenly turned sinister, his hand gripping the teacup tightly, his fingertips turning white, and his veins bulging.

"Family? Haha, all these years, have they ever treated me like family? Oh no, in their eyes, I'm probably not even as good as a dog. On the surface, I'm the glamorous young master of the Qian family, but in their hearts, I'm just an unwanted orphan, unworthy of enjoying everything the Qian family has to offer. So what if she's Qian Ke'er? So what if she's a young lady? In terms of intelligence and ability, in what way can she compare to me? Qian Huai'an would rather hand over the company to a woman who knows nothing about company management than to me. They treat me like a wolf. Have they ever treated me like family?"

"So, I just want the Qian family to see just how dark and cruel Qian Ke'er, whom they consider the most innocent and harmless, really is behind the scenes!"

Hearing this, Su Ying felt conflicted, unsure whether to sympathize or feel disgusted.

It is clear that Qian Xingjie is also a person with a hard life. He has lived in the Qian family for so many years and has also experienced so much suppression.

Indeed, as a complete stranger, countless members of the Qian family's collateral branches disliked him, ostracized him, and prevented him from gaining any benefit from the Qian family.

Although he was fortunate enough to be taken back to the Qian family by Qian Huai'an and no longer had to live a life without a home or relatives, his memories also became tragic.

"Your Qian family is a powerful force, not something I can easily expose. Besides, if Yien Ke'er gets angry, I'll be dead even if I don't die. Why should I take such a big risk?"

Faced with Su Ying's concerns, Qian Xingjie offered this explanation: "You don't know this, do you? The Qian family is a century-old brand. Although their influence has grown rapidly in recent years, they have always emphasized family traditions, education, and precepts. Although Qian Huai'an is the head of the Qian family, he has several highly respected elders behind him. Once Qian Ke'er's scandalous affairs are exposed, these elders will definitely step forward. I don't mean anything by this; I just want everyone to see Qian Ke'er's ugly face and realize that she is no match for me. Not paying attention to me is the worst decision they've ever made!"

He paused, then continued, "Also, I know that Qian Ke'er kidnapped your grandmother. As long as you agree to cooperate with me and resolve this matter, I guarantee I will bring your grandmother to you unharmed!"

Su Ying's eyes darkened. "Why should I believe you?"

Qian Xingjie seemed to have found her weakness, and slowly took a sip of tea. "Now, besides me, who else can help you? Su Ying, be smart. We're just helping each other out. Besides, haven't you always hated Qian Ke'er for killing your parents? I've given you the evidence. Whether you're willing to do it or not is up to you. You're a smart person, and I believe you'll know what to choose!"

Su Ying: “…”
