Chapter 112: She’s Not My Type

Chapter 112: Chapter 112: She’s Not My Type

Yanci kept silent.

Cheng Yanhuai picked up a card and said casually, "Although it’s all about the grudges of the older generation, Qin Chu is innocent. But who made her last name Qin?"

First Cheng Yanhuai, then Yanci, the meanings in their words matched precisely.

They wanted him to stay away from Qin Chu.

However, their words were vague and unclear.

Curiosity killed the cat; Lue Xizhou was full of confusion.

Beside him, Gu Lanqing spoke a few words, finally clarifying the reason.

Qin Chu was the illegitimate daughter of Qin Zhongsong, the head of the Imperial Capital’s rich Qin family.

Given such an identity, and the fact that Qin Zhongsong had acknowledged her, her mother, Yao Wanying, should have planned for her daughter’s future, whether living abroad or keeping a low profile in Imperial City—it was only proper.

But Yao Wanying would not conform.

Whether it was at grand banquets or private gatherings, Yao Wanying always made a high-profile appearance.

Some people respected President Qin enough to call her Mrs. Qin, and Yao Wanying would respond with a smile.

This infuriated the legitimate Mrs. Qin several times.

Privately, when people in their circle talked about Yao Wanying, they would refer to her as Aunt Qin.

But the Qing Dynasty had been gone for hundreds of years—what Aunt Qin?

Some said Yao Wanying was shameless.

Others said Qin Zhongsong couldn’t distinguish right from wrong.

But the fact was, Qin Chu, carrying the name of an illegitimate daughter, was despised in their circle.

The ladies didn’t look up to her.

Those who were also born as illegitimate children wanted to get close to her but didn’t want to face her cold demeanor.

Over time, Qin Chu became a loner within the wealthy circles.

Every now and then, someone would say they saw Qin Chu hanging out with blond, blue-eyed foreign handsome men at nightclubs and hotels, spreading rumors that she was promiscuous, like mother, like daughter.

Gradually, Qin Chu’s reputation in the circle worsened.

"Qin family’s elder said in the circle that whoever hangs out with Qin Chu is asking for trouble."

Cheng Yanhuai took over the conversation, looking at Lue Xizhou, "You and Qin Yuchen will have endless dealings in the future. It’s best for you to keep your distance from Qin Chu, both professionally and personally!"

Thinking of Lue Xizhou occasionally chatting with Qin Chu at the dining table, Cheng Yanhuai laughed, "You’re not actually interested in her, are you?"

"What a joke?"

Lue Xizhou almost raised his eyebrows, "She’s not my type at all. Why would I be interested?"

"Better not be."

Yanci glanced at Lue Xizhou and pushed his cards forward in the process.

Seeing that it was exactly the card he had played that declared a win, Lue Xizhou shook his head resignedly and gave his chips.

Then, with a bemused face, he asked, "Aren’t you saying Qin Chu is a loner in the circle? How come I think she and Miss Ah Li seem like close sisters?"

The mention of Miss Ah Li drew a cold glance from Yanci.

Knowing he disliked that address, Lue Xizhou smiled in response, firmly sticking to his guns.

"Qin Chu is righteous, and Ah Li values deep relationships."

Yanci said solemnly, "She helped Ah Li a few times in the past years, and the two became best friends."

Feeling it didn’t sound convincing enough, Yanci continued, "Years ago, when the Ye Family was in trouble, she sold her house and car, gathered thirty million for Ah Li to pay off debts, even mortgaging the car shop..."

Qin Chu’s reputation wasn’t good, and the car-loving playboys in the circle found it unlucky and refused to take over.

That’s what saved the car shop.

No one knew of these matters except Yanci, who mentioned it now, and even the most scheming Gu Lanqing was amazed and praised, "Rare indeed."

Turning back, Yanci seriously looked at Lue Xizhou, "If Ah Li considers her a true sister, if she has problems in the future, I’ll definitely stand by her side. Make sure your mind is clear, and don’t cause trouble for me!"

"Who do you think you’re looking down on?"

Lue Xizhou knocked down the cards in front of him, "I’ve said it before, she’s not my type! Don’t worry; keep your heart at ease!"
