CHAPTER 574: CHAPTER 494: DON’T I HAVE ANY DIGNITY?

At the end of the negotiation, things seemed to be going fairly well.

Walking out of the door, Xue Sheng couldn’t help but ask impatiently:

"Dad, are you really planning to give Lv Pingting half of the shares?"

Mr. Xue sneered:

"Do you think I’m that stupid? As soon as the Lv Family’s investment enters our account and the government project is secured, we can turn our backs on them. Half of the shares? What a joke!"

Xue Sheng couldn’t help but chuckle: "Dad, you are truly brilliant!"

"Learn from me. Also, break things off with that woman outside as soon as possible. Right now, your priority is to keep Lv Pingting steady. Women, you see, aren’t complicated. Sweet-talk her a little, give her more gifts, pretend to care—she’ll be utterly devoted to you. Once you’ve succeeded in getting her, how you deal with her is entirely up to you."

Xue Sheng thought about it for a moment. This seemed plausible, so he agreed without question.

After all, it was all just surface-level. As long as no one else found out, it’d be fine.

He still carried a misguided confidence that Lv Pingting was head-over-heels in love with him to the extent of madness. Her outbursts were merely attempts to win more affection from him.

But when Lv Pingting heard her father had changed his mind and was even urging her to proceed, she was deeply disappointed. She locked herself in her room immediately.

She then called Qin Miaomiao without delay, her voice trembling slightly:

"My dad has been talked into it again! He’s not planning to cancel our wedding and even intends to invest. I know the Xue Family too well; if they achieve their goal, they’ll definitely turn their backs on us. What should I do?"

Qin Miaomiao maintained remarkable composure: "Don’t panic. There’s still a few days left. When dealing with hypocrites, you must remain calm; otherwise, they’ll easily find your weak spot."

Lv Pingting felt utterly disgusted:

"I don’t want to marry him one bit! It’s revolting—he even dared to hit me!"

"The key now is to make sure your father doesn’t get duped. Once the funding is transferred, your family will be entirely at a disadvantage, merely making a wedding dress for someone else."

Lv Pingting was on edge: "How could my dad fall for their tricks!"

Qin Miaomiao sneered: "When hypocrites wear their masks long enough, they truly understand human nature better. However, they’re also more likely to expose their ’fox tails.’ What you need to do is simple—provoke Xue Sheng, repeatedly provoke him! But don’t worry, I’ll assign someone to follow you and ensure your safety. And, if slapping sense into your parents doesn’t work, then what if... you pretend to commit suicide?"

Lv Pingting’s expression suddenly lit up.

"Do you mean act like it’s real?"

"If the other side can act so convincingly, you, as a model, should have no problem matching them."

"I understand now. Thank you."

"You’re welcome. Stay safe."

After hanging up the call, Little sixth and Little seventh stared at her in astonishment, both giving her a thumbs-up:

"Young Madam is formidable. The way Young Madam schemes—it’s truly badass, spine-chilling even!"

Qin Miaomiao gave a light cough:

"What’s the matter? Are you two planning to rebel now? How’s the progress with taking pictures of those two in bed?"

Little seventh wore a face full of frustration: "Young Madam, I nearly crawled under their bed, but it’s really hard to take good photos! I’m just a kid, yet I have to stare at what’s going on in people’s beds. Young Madam, do I not deserve some dignity?"

Qin Miaomiao considered this seriously for a moment and solemnly nodded:

"He’s right. Little sixth, Little seventh is still a child. We can’t let him be exposed to the darker sides of the world too soon. So, anything involving crawling under their bed is now your job."
