The "dinosaur girl" silently listened from the kitchen while Ye Qiu and Xu Lei talked.

As she listened, she realized the relationship between Ye Qiu and Xu Lei was not ordinary.

Since Xu Lei was brought by Xu Batian, she had been taking care of Xu Lei, so she frequently heard Xu Lei calling Ye Qiu's name in her dreams.

That's why she didn't think of it before, but when she calmed down, she suddenly remembered the relationship between Ye Qiu and Xu Lei.

Remembering their relationship, she was greatly shocked as she recalled the things she had said in front of Xu Lei earlier, and her heart was filled with fear and trepidation.

Although Xu Lei treated her well and wasn't arrogant.

But she knew Xu Lei's background well—Xu Batian's daughter.

Who was Xu Batian?

She knew very well, Xu Lei might not mind, but what if Xu Batian found out?

She dared to ask Xu Lei's man to marry her; did she still want to live?

It didn't matter to her if she died. Growing up, she was too fat and very ugly, always ridiculed and met with cold disdain.

If it weren't for her sick mother at home, she would have chosen to end it a long time ago.

Liu Shan was born in a small village. Her father went out to work when she was young and never returned, leaving only her and her mother, supporting each other. Her younger brother died as an infant.

So from a young age, she began to take care of her mother, who was seriously ill, and all the burdens fell on her shoulders.

Many years passed like this, and she was recruited by Xu Batian's men to be a nanny, similar to a servant girl in ancient times.

Taking care of Xu Lei, the monthly salary was considerable, giving her some hope to cure her mother's illness.

So if she offended Xu Lei now, and Xu Batian found out and fired her, unable to treat her mother's illness would be the real problem, as for her life, she had long stopped caring about it.

Previously, while Ye Qiu and Xu Lei were talking, she listened, hearing Ye Qiu bet with her for a year and planned to renege. Although she had already guessed it, hearing it herself made her feel a sense of grievance, causing the tray in her hand to fall to the ground.

Liu Shan was shocked and hurriedly squatted down to pick up the tray but cut her hand. At this moment, Ye Qiu and Xu Lei arrived.

Seeing Liu Shan's bleeding hand, Xu Lei was surprised and then worriedly rushed to Liu Shan's side: "Are you okay? How could you be so careless?"

Towards Liu Shan, Xu Lei treated her like her own sister, without any disdain at all.

So seeing Liu Shan injured at that moment, she was also very worried.

Ye Qiu stood behind Xu Lei, frowning as he looked at the injured Liu Shan.

At this time, Liu Shan hesitated for a moment, suddenly knelt in front of Xu Lei and Ye Qiu, immediately startling both of them.

"What are you doing?" Xu Lei asked, "Get up!"

Liu Shan shook her head, "Miss Xu Lei, please don't blame me, it was my mistake."

"What did you do wrong?" Xu Lei asked.

Ye Qiu also looked at Liu Shan, not understanding what she was doing.

Liu Shan looked at Xu Lei, then at Ye Qiu, and said, "I didn't know Ye Qiu was your man before, so I said something wrong. Please don't blame me."

Ye Qiu realized, looking at Xu Lei, whose face blushed, she said, "Oh, it's about that, haha, it's okay, it's in the past, I don't mind at all, you can get up."

Liu Shan shook her head, "Please don't tell Mr. Xu, or if I lose my job…"

"Fang Xin, I won't tell my father," Xu Lei said.

Liu Shan nodded, "Thank you, Miss Xu Lei."

Then Liu Shan got up with Xu Lei's help, but her weight made Xu Lei frown.

Liu Shan gave Xu Lei an apologetic smile, then stood up and looked at Ye Qiu, "Ye Qiu, let's cancel the bet from before, I was getting ahead of myself."

Ye Qiu was startled, then shook his head without saying anything.

Then Ye Qiu saw the emotions on Liu Shan's face and asked, "Is there something wrong at your home?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Lei also looked at Liu Shan and noticed something was wrong, asking, "Is there something wrong at your home, Shanshan, say it!"

Liu Shan hesitated for a moment, then explained her family's situation.

"I see," Xu Lei nodded, "that's really unfortunate."

Ye Qiu also nodded, "What illness does your mother have, and how much money do you need?"

Liu Shan was startled, looked at Ye Qiu, and quickly shook her head, "No, no need, I'll earn it myself."

Ye Qiu said, "No problem, treat it as a loan. Remember our one-year agreement; you can pay me back in a year. How much do you need?"

Liu Shan hesitated, and Xu Lei said, "Go ahead, it's okay."

Liu Shan nodded, "I will definitely pay it back. I need five hundred thousand!"

"Small change!"

Ye Qiu had squeezed a lot of money lately, and anyway, money was not a big deal for him, as he didn't have much use for it right now, so he gave the money to Liu Shan.

Liu Shan was quite moved and wanted to kneel to thank Ye Qiu, but he stopped her.

She thought for a moment, wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, and said, "Ye Qiu, Miss Xu Lei, I will pay you back this money in the future."

Ye Qiu nonchalantly shook his head; he didn't expect Liu Shan to repay him.

"Don't worry, I'll do as I say," Liu Shan said.

Ye Qiu smiled.

He didn't care, but what he wouldn't expect was that a year later, not only did Liu Shan repay the money, but her status also astonished him.

At that time, he would sigh, "How much has changed in just one year!"

But that's another story. After giving Liu Shan the money, Xu Lei said, "Alright, stop crying, come and eat with us now."

"I can't, I'm..."

"It's nothing!" Xu Lei said, "And from now on, don't call me Miss Xu Lei, just call me Sister Xu Lei."

Liu Shan wanted to refuse, but Xu Lei sternly said, "Are you making me angry?"

Liu Shan gave a bitter smile, then nodded, "Okay, Sister Xu Lei."

"Mm, that's better."

Said, and then nodded to Ye Qiu, and then led Liu Shan to the dining table.

Ye Qiu and Xu Lei sat down first, looking at Liu Shan, who was standing by, unwilling to sit down. Xu Lei said, "What's wrong, sit down."

"Is this okay?" Liu Shan was still a bit hesitant.

"What's wrong with it," Xu Lei said.

"Yes, sit down, there are no outsiders here," Ye Qiu added.

Hearing this, Liu Shan felt a bit moved, glanced at Ye Qiu and Xu Lei, finally nodded, and then pulled out a chair and sat down.

Crack.

But as soon as she sat down, the chair made a crackling sound, startling Ye Qiu and Xu Lei.

Liu Shan herself was also startled.

And just as she was about to get up, she felt a void under her butt, and then she fell to the ground, and the chair shattered into pieces.

Looking at Liu Shan sitting on the ground with a painful expression, Xu Lei and Ye Qiu glanced at each other and then burst into laughter.

Liu Shan awkwardly shook her head and then laughed along.
