And then North went crazy. He shot up from the chair and knocked it over with his violent movement.
He couldn't care less as his attention was fixated only on Qin Yu.
"You, you, you, you -"
Qin Yu frowned."You?! What's that supposed to mean? What's wrong with me?"
North was dumbfounded.
Dong Lai sighed."Boss, it's not his fault. We are still in shock. That kid has got to work on his ability to accept things though."
"Tsk, North, you need to watch out, this is not how you want to present yourself, " West said sympathetically to North.
South reached out and touched Qin Yu's face with her fingertips."She's alive!"
Qin Yu slapped her hand away and said, "Your reaction is worse than North's! At least he's honest with his feelings. You're probably scheming on how to carry out a resurrection, right?"
South smiled."Hehe, as expected of the boss. You've got it."
As the two of them were talking, North came up and tremblingly touched Qin Yu's head.
She hit North with her chopsticks.
Smack!
North cried out, "You hit me! You actually lied to us! You've clearly met us before, but you still pretended not to know us! Why did you treat us like idiots? We were so loyal to you but you lied to us!"
He did not shed a single tear but shut his eyes and started wailing.
Qin Yu felt a little annoyed.
North was the team clown. In this team, he was the kid everyone bullied. However, he was also the unspoken soul of the team. Without him, Shengshi wouldn't be where it was today.
Other than being a technical expert, he was also an expert at tuning the vibe.
Now, this spiritual glue of a figure was angered by Qin Yu to the point he cried!
East cleared his throat."Boss, if I have to say, you really did us dirty this time."
Qin Yu glared at him.
West gulped."Boss, you tricked us. North and I was about to come up with a plan to break into the prison."
South sighed and said, "Boss, I'm sure you had your reasons."
Qin Yu looked at her in relief.
South continued, "It was so bad! Why did our boss do this to us?"
Qin Yu put down her chopsticks and said with a stern face, "You guys aren't done yet, are you?"
The quarter looked at her with resentment.
Qin Yu sighed and said gently, "I didn't have a choice. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done what I did."
Four pairs of eyes remained squarely fixated on her.
North perked up. He raised his hand to stop the others before asking Qin Yu, "You mean, Ning Chen doesn't know you're playing dumb?"
Qin Yu nodded.
"And Guan Yue too?"
Qin Yu nodded.
Everyone looked at her with a complicated expression. They treated Guan Yue as one of their own.
Qin Yu explained, "It's a long story. I'm the adopted daughter of the Shi family and the stupid second daughter who can't be shown. I married into the Ning family on behalf of the oldest daughter of the Shi family and became Ning Chen's wife. I can't just turn smart the moment I enter the Ning family, right?"
They nodded.
"I had to keep up the act. Who knew Guan Yue was a hunter? I was there at the doors that day at the gathering, but with Guan Yue around, I couldn't go in. My act would be exposed. Guan Yue and Ning Chen are so close, he'll tell him everything!"
"I still have things to attend to. It is not the time to reveal my identity just yet, so I have no choice but to keep up the lie, " Qin Yu said helplessly.
North blinked.
"You're not actually dumb, are you? Your acting was impeccable."
Qin Yu rolled her eyes."I wouldn't have survived all these years if my acting was crap! My acting skills are what keeps me going!"
North's face was full of sympathy."I feel quite sorry for Ning Chen now. He's blind and now kept from the truth by his own wife! How pitiful."
The kid always had his focus wrong.
The other three nodded in unison.
South said seriously, "Boss, Ning Chen is a good man."
East nodded in agreement."That's right, boss. And he's serious about you!"
West said, "A man who's infatuated with you."
North concluded, "It's not right for you to deceive a good man's feelings just like that!"
