After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

"……what?"

Qin Sisi was stunned by Pei Yulin's answer, and for a moment she forgot to let the tears that were hanging in her eyes fall.

"Hmph..." Pei Yulin suddenly chuckled twice, making Qin Sisi and Ding Fenglian feel uneasy.

"Qin Sisi, say who I am again."

Qin Sisi stared blankly at Ding Fenglian, looking at her with confusion: "You, you are Aunt Pei, Pei Xingzhi's mother."

“Yes, I am Pei Xingzhi’s mother, and also Xie Zhaoyuan’s mother.” Pei Yulin said softly, “Xingzhi and Zhaoyuan are both my children, but how did you, Qin Sisi, treat them?”

Qin Sisi felt a lump in her throat, and her cheeks instantly flushed red.

She didn't answer Pei Yulin's question, so Pei Yulin said on his own: "In order to be with Lu Yibai, you first stole my Zhaozhao's boyfriend, and then deliberately slandered Xingzhi for sexual harassment. After you successfully got entangled with Lu Yibai, you joined forces with him to maliciously attack the Pei Group."

"You orchestrated the plagiarism incident at the Pei Group, and you also turned Xingzhi's good friend Fang Bo against you. You and Lu Yibai joined forces to bankrupt the Pei Group, plunging our Pei family into the mire overnight! And now you actually have the nerve to come and beg me for a chance?"

"I..." Qin Sisi bit her lip, unable to utter a single word in rebuttal.

"Sigh..." Ding Fenglian sighed deeply, knowing that Qin Sisi had no chance.

Pei Yulin continued, "I gave you a chance, but when have you ever given Zhaozhao and Xingzhi a chance? Zhaozhao has nothing, yet you've harmed her so badly! If she hadn't found a way to clear her name, she would have lived in your shadow for the rest of her life!"

"Qin Sisi, you have committed numerous evils and deserve your punishment! Why should I plead for you? I would rather you be sent to prison right now!"

"Mom, who are you talking to on the phone? It sounds like you're arguing..."

Pei Lingxuan's voice suddenly rang out on the other end of the phone.

Qin Sisi heard Pei Yulin say, "I was on the phone with Qin Sisi, and she was crying and begging me to give her a chance and ask Xingzhi not to sue her."

"What?!" Pei Lingxuan's voice immediately changed tone, "This bitch still has the nerve to call you and ask you to plead for her?"

Pei Yulin: "Yes."

"Damn it..." Pei Lingxuan rushed over, cursing, and before Qin Sisi could react, she snatched Pei Yulin's phone and started cursing on the other end of the line.

"Qin Sisi, have you lost all your shame? Even at a time like this, you still have the nerve to come begging to my mom for mercy! I think you're really tired of living!"

"Your idiot brother kidnapped my sister-in-law, and you, you moron, have made her the villain of the entire Yun City! You've done so many bad things and you still dare to beg my mom for a chance? Do you want my mom to slap you?"

"..." Qin Sisi stared blankly at her phone, completely stunned by the scolding.

Pei Lingxuan: "You Qin family members are really like ghosts that won't leave us alone. When you're triumphant, you come to us to play tricks, and when you're down on your luck, you come to us to play the victim. You've played both the good guy and the bad guy, haven't you?"

"Get out of here! Get as far away from me as you can! If you dare to cause any more trouble in front of us, I'll take a taxi to your house and slap you until your own mother won't recognize you!"

"You're a candidate for labor camp inmate!!"

After venting her anger and frustration, Pei Lingxuan immediately hung up the phone.

Qin Sisi was verbally abused mercilessly, but she didn't even have a chance to retort.

"beep--"

A short notification tone sounded from the phone's receiver, and Pei Lingxuan's cursing completely disappeared from my ears.

"..."

Qin Sisi turned her head and looked at Ding Fenglian expressionlessly.

"Sigh..." Ding Fenglian sighed again and took the phone back from Qin Sisi's hand.

"Sisi, forget it. The Pei family will never help us. Let's think of another way."

"..." Qin Sisi pouted, feeling wronged, and didn't say anything.

"Alright." Ding Fenglian opened her arms and hugged her, comforting her weakly, "If she won't help you, then forget it. Mom will think of another way for you."

"Hmph..." Qin Sisi leaned on her shoulder, squeezing out tears, and choked out, "We've already begged Pei Yulin, what other options do we have? Mom, I'm really finished now, I'm really going to jail..."

"No, it won't happen." Ding Fenglian patted the back of her head, her nose tingling with emotion. "Sisi, be good. Mom won't let you go to jail. Trust Mom."

Qin Sisi shook her head in despair: "I want to believe in Mom too, but..."

Before she could finish speaking, a person suddenly came to mind.

"But what?" Ding Fenglian asked, puzzled.

Qin Sisi released Ding Fenglian, and a few glimmers of hope slowly ignited in her gloomy eyes: "Mom, there is someone who might be able to help me."

"Who?" Ding Fenglian's eyes widened in excitement.

Qin Sisi gritted her teeth and slowly but firmly uttered that name:

"Lu, Yi, Bai!"

At 10 p.m., the Lu Group building was still brightly lit. Anxious employees moved around the building, and every meeting room was packed with people, with noise never stopping for a moment.

The building appeared bustling and prosperous, but in reality, it was filled with panic, just like the Pei Group when it was about to go bankrupt.

Standing at the entrance of the Lu Group building, Qin Sisi suddenly felt a great deal of fear. She stood outside for a long time, but dared not take a single step inside.

She was all too familiar with this calm yet terrifying atmosphere. Before, as the perpetrator, she had felt smug and excited at the sight. But now, as the victim, she was terrified, her heart trembling.

"Phew..." She exhaled forcefully, clenched her fists, and silently encouraged herself a few times. She finally mustered up a little courage and prepared to go in, but was suddenly stopped by a familiar male voice.

"Miss Qin Sisi?"

Qin Sisi turned around at the sound and saw Li Su striding towards her.

"Xiao Li." She slightly raised her chin, deliberately adopting a superior air as usual.

"You've come at the right time; I was just about to go in and look for you."

Li Su stood in front of her, smiling, and asked, "Miss Sisi, is there something you need from me?"

Qin Sisi gave a cold "hmm": "I need to see Lu Yibai. Please inform him for me."

"...You want to see President Lu?" Li Su frowned.

"Yes." Qin Sisi glanced at him with disdain. "I need to see Lu Yibai. Could you please go upstairs and inform him?"

Li Su did not move: "I'm sorry, Miss Sisi, Mr. Lu is currently very busy and probably doesn't have time to see you. Please leave."
