Saving Lives

"I was far less interested in men than I was in money." Ye Qian chuckled.

"I even thought that I didn't like men and liked women because I liked you more." She looked at me teasingly.

I raised my hands in surrender and smiled without saying a word. I knew that she was just joking.

"Until one day, I was attacked in the square." Ye Qian's voice was very calm, but her expression was a little agitated.

I was shocked. "Attacked? Who attacked you?"

Ye Qian smiled wryly. "I managed to escape unscathed from both the Gu and Jing families. Think about it, how many people wanted me to die? First, there'd be Jing Ning's mother and sister. You know how Jing Yan is like."

"So was it Jing Yan?" I really didn't expect it, but I wasn't surprised.
