Chapter 116
Qin Yan walked out of the library, preparing to take the subway.
Just as she left the school gate, she heard someone calling her.
She turned her head in confusion and saw Du Linsen.
She stood still and waited for him to walk over before she spoke, "Mr. Du, what a coincidence, what are you doing here?"
"I came to the school to find Linze. Linze said you might be busy in the library and insisted that I come over. I am very sorry that my brother's idea of making you his sister-in-law has caused you trouble."
"It's fine as long as you explain it clearly to him." Qin Yan was a bit surprised to hear his sincere apology.
"I have been abroad for many years, and communication with him is always prone to arguments. On the contrary, he is the same as when he was a child, willing to tell you some of his thoughts. This time I came to find you, I also want Qin Yan to help me."
Qin Yan raised her eyebrows and pointed at herself. "Isn't it inappropriate for an outsider like me to do this kind of thing? Mr. Du, we are not familiar."
She didn't want to be the scapegoat who was not appreciated by either side!
Du Linsen said helplessly, "You have been in contact with my brother, so you should be clear about his identity. If he is open-minded, it's fine, but if his emotions are agitated, his illness will flare up. I am very worried, which is why I made such a request."
"This,"
"Qin Yan, you probably haven't heard that the village where your grandfather once lived is currently being developed into a tourist area, and as a female in the family, you probably won't be able to get the land property rights.
If their plan is implemented, your grandfather's house will have no owner and will likely be leveled. But if you help me, I can help you fight to keep your grandfather's house. How about that?"
Qin Yan was stunned. If it were other things, she might not pay attention, but if it involved her grandparents, she simply couldn't refuse.
That place held the memories of her entire childhood. Since her grandparents passed away and she went out to study, that old house was probably on the verge of becoming a dangerous structure.
"I can agree to you, but I'll tell you first, I am married, and there is no possibility between us."
"..." Du Linsen was surprised and looked down at the ring on her finger.
He asked suspiciously, "I remember, Gu He'an's wife is not you."
"Who Gu He'an's wife is has nothing to do with me, but I am indeed married." Qin Yan explained again.
"..." Du Linsen stroked his forehead and gave a bitter smile. Then his brother would probably have a lot of trouble.
"Then congratulations, I hope you can find your happiness, but we are not friends, are we?"
"I also hope we are friends with boundaries. I will also communicate this matter with Du Linze." Qin Yan saw him reach out, so she also politely shook his hand and nodded politely.
"I hope Mr. Du can keep his promise."
"I will. If there is a chance, we can go back together." Du Linsen retracted his hand moderately and invited her.
"I will go back when I have time. It's getting late, so I'll go first." Qin Yan waved goodbye to him, but then heard Du Linsen say, "Where are you going? I can give you a ride."
"No need, I,"
"Don't trouble Mr. Du."
Suddenly hearing Lu Qianchuan's voice, Du Linsen raised his eyebrows in surprise and turned to see him walking over aggressively, reaching Qin Yan's side in a few steps.
"Qin Yan and I live in the same building, and she is going back with me on the way."
"Mr. Lu, what a coincidence, are you here to pick up Qin Yan?" Du Linsen curled his lips, his gaze sweeping over Lu Qianchuan's fingers, which had no signs of being married.
Did he know that Qin Yan was married?
"That has nothing to do with you." Lu Qianchuan looked down at Qin Yan, his tone a bit cold and hard. "Let's go."
Qin Yan sensed that he was in a bad mood and guessed that he didn't like Du Linsen, after all, this person had hurt him before.
She nodded quickly and followed him.
Du Linsen watched the two get into the car, noticing that Qin Yan's attitude toward Lu Qianchuan was obviously much more familiar than toward him.
Could it be that these two had some special relationship?
In the car, Qin Yan watched the man driving in silence; he seemed to be in a very bad mood.
She was really curious about what kind of deep hatred he had with Du Linsen, that just seeing him, Lu Qianchuan's emotions would fluctuate so much.
She sent a message to Lu Jiayi to ask for the answer.
Lu Jiayi asked back, 【Is it my brother, and what trouble did he cause with that feather duster again?】
Qin Yan stared at the message, wondering what this feather duster was.
She continued to ask what the feather duster referred to.
Lu Jiayi sent a screenshot, drawing a long handle on Du Linze's hair, which indeed looked like a feather duster. She couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Sensing Lu Qianchuan's gaze sweeping over, she quickly restrained her emotions.
Then she sent the photo of Lu Qianchuan applying medicine to Du Linze to her.
Lu Jiayi expressed shock.
Lu Jiayi: 【My brother, he has someone he likes, you should be clear about that, right?】
Qin Yan: 【Clear, what does this have to do with them? Could it be that the person Lu Qianchuan likes has a conflict with them?】
Lu Jiayi: 【Yes, didn't Lu Qianchuan make it clear when he cooperated with you? It's precisely because he loves but cannot get, unable to be with the person he loves, that he cooperated with you to get married, just to avoid the urging of his parents to get married. Don't you have the awareness of being a shield?】
Qin Yan thought to herself, so she was his shield to refuse being urged to marry.
The phone vibrated, pulling back her thoughts. She clicked to view it; it was Lu Jiayi transferring 500,000 to her.
Lu Jiayi: 【Help me, no matter what method you use, please be sure to stop my brother from seeing this man.】
Qin Yan stared at "this man". Before, Lu Qianchuan had angrily told her that Du Linsen had dated in college and was suspected of being a player, so he must have snatched away the person he liked, which was why his attitude toward him was not very good.
And Du Linze protected his brother, so he didn't have a good attitude toward Lu Qianchuan either.
Thinking this way, everything was connected.
She accepted the transfer.
Qin Yan: 【I will work hard to protect Mr. Lu from being influenced by him again!】
Lu Jiayi: 【Good sister, that man is too bad. He had someone he liked, yet he brought people to provoke my brother. If it weren't for the fact that he's a man, I would have beaten him up. My brother's aesthetic is also strangely weird, to actually like that kind of person!】
What kind of person would Mr. Lu like?
How weird is Mr. Lu's aesthetic?
Mr. Lu saw Du Linsen snatch away the person he liked, yet he let his brother call her sister-in-law, and also talked about a childhood engagement in an attempt to pursue her.
The person he liked was snatched away by him, and now that he had finally found a shield, he was being targeted by him.
Just anyone would break down upon hearing this, so it's no wonder Lu Qianchuan's expression toward Du Linsen was so ugly tonight.
She suddenly felt some sympathy for Mr. Lu, and even more felt Du Linsen's shamelessness.
Lu Qianchuan sensed the woman's gaze. After parking the car, he immediately got out and went to press the elevator without even waiting for her.
She looked at him with pity and sympathy.
It made him feel unhappy inside.
It even made him suspect whether she would throw the divorce agreement at him in the next second.
Qin Yan quickly got out of the car, rushed into the elevator, and smiled to find a topic with him, "Mr. Lu, thank you for coming to pick me up."
"Didn't I say I would go pick you up? Did you not take my words seriously, or do you insist on using this kind of polite talk to distance yourself from me?"
Qin Yan was asked awkwardly and touched her nose. She looked at her bag, took out a document from it, and sent it to him. "You should take a look first."
"..." Lu Qianchuan stared at the document in her hand, his handsome face a bit pale.
At this moment, the elevator opened, and he walked out with big strides to escape.
