"How could you say that?" Qiu Mingli frantically waved his hands. "If it weren't for you, I'd still be penniless and hunted by debt collectors."
"Now I have a job and my life is stable—what's not to like?"
Xu Ke gave a wry smile. Qiu Mingli is just trying to console himself. The whole mess with Shan Lan only happened because Yang Qing goaded her into targeting me, and I just fought back. By then, Qiu Mingli was long out of the picture, just working as the mailroom manager... He's only being dragged into this and ending up like this purely because he got implicated by association...
What Xu Ke didn't know was that he wasn't just implicating Qiu Mingli, but also Xu Yi. But if not for Xu Ke's violent reaction when Xu Yi was kidnapped—a reaction so intense he nearly killed Lin Zhongtian—and the fact that Tang Yingchang now never left Xu Yi's side, her situation would likely be just as bad.
