The Mad Guardian

Chang Lan turned her head to look at her son, Qiu Deming.

No, he is the pillar of the Qiu Family, he cannot go.

She turned her head again to look at Qiushi, but that wouldn't work either.

Qiushi was her favorite grandson, she couldn't let him go either.

At that moment, a cold glint suddenly flashed in Qiushi's eyes. He suddenly proposed, "Grandma, I suddenly thought of someone, someone capable of handling this matter."

"Therefore, going to the Liu Family to apologize, she's the only one who can do it!"

"My precious grandson, who are you talking about?" Chang Lan asked curiously.

"Qiu Qianyu!"

A cold sneer appeared in Qiushi's eyes; as long as there was an opportunity to suppress Qiu Qianyu, Qiushi would never miss it.

Because Qiushi knew, in the Qiu Family, only Qiu Qianyu was the biggest obstacle to his control over the family.

As for the others, they weren't his opponents at all.

"Qiu Qianyu? That's right, why didn't I think of that, I also think she's suitable!"

"Indeed, Qianyu, so accomplished at a young age, she's the pillar of our Qiu Family, it must be her to handle this!"

"I think so too, no one's more suitable for this task than her."

The Qiu Family members were jealous of Qiu Qianyu's talents, some of her beauty, while others just wanted to quickly find a scapegoat to avoid getting into trouble themselves, so they all nominated her eagerly.

Chang Lan also felt it was a good idea, she nodded and made the decision: "Alright, it's settled, call Qiu Qianyu back immediately!"

Before long, Qiu Qianyu and Jiang Chuan returned to the Qiu Family.

When Qiu Qianyu heard that she was to handle this task, her beautiful eyes widened in anger!

Qiu Qianyu, annoyed and speechless, said, "Li Ming caused this trouble, why am I the one to apologize? Don't you think this is too much?"

"How is it too much?"

Old Mrs. Chang Lan was the first to look displeased. She snorted coldly and said, "Aren't you a descendant of the Qiu Family? Now the family is in trouble, you won't stand with the Qiu Family, do you want to stay out of it? Do you really think I have no way to deal with you?"

"Exactly, the Qiu Family is in difficulty now, instead of figuring out how to help the Qiu Family through this, you want to disengage. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"Exactly, how could the Qiu Family have a descendant like you!"

Other Qiu Family members also criticized Qiu Qianyu!

Chang Lan finally made the decision: "That's how it is then, you must go whether you're willing or not, and you must complete the task."

"Exactly, you must do it well, or how can you face the ancestors of the Qiu Family?"

Other Qiu Family members, with stern voices, all played the part of elders.

Qiu Qianyu once again felt the shamelessness of the Qiu Family, her lips bitter with anger, she couldn't help but retort: "What power do I, Qiu Qianyu, have, just a small person in the Qiu Family. If the Liu Family doesn't give me face, what can I do?"

"What can you do? As long as you are sincere, can't the matter be resolved?"

"Exactly! At worst, you kneel to them, can't the matter be resolved?"

"That's right! Smile at them, be sincere, even if you are lowered and scolded, it won't matter, won't that resolve it?"

Hearing these words from the Qiu Family, Qiu Qianyu turned pale with anger, her rage turning into laughter.

This was her family, these were her relatives, selfish to the extreme when it came to their own benefits.

Just when Qiu Qianyu felt extremely wronged, a strong hand warmly grasped her icy jade-like hand, and a gentle voice softly sounded in her ear.

"Don't be afraid, even if the whole world is against you, you still have me."

"Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you."

This voice was gentle and magnetic, like the warm scent of home, and in that moment, Qiu Qianyu felt a sense of fascination.

It was as if she had returned to her childhood, when her parents were around her, when the home was poor but warm, and the family was happy.

But as she grew up, the home changed too.

Her parents divorced, and that warm feeling disappeared from the house.

Her father's setbacks, her mother's indifference, and the family's sarcasm deeply wounded Qiu Qianyu's heart.

In all these years, it was the first time for Qiu Qianyu to hear such a warm voice, to feel such warm breath. She couldn't help wanting to cry her heart out in this man's embrace.

But she held back in the end.

Because, she couldn't cry, because she was Qiu Qianyu.
