Lang Que seemed to have sensed the probing gaze of Qu Su, and he lowered his eyes at the right time.

When their eyes met, Qu Su noticed the tenderness in the man's eyes.

She immediately looked away, her body tensing involuntarily.

Qu Su was very sure that she was not mistaken.

That could only mean...

In order to prevent her from venting her anger on the scheming girl, Lang Que deliberately put on a show!

After figuring out the ins and outs, Qu Su asked in a cold voice, "Have you deleted it?"

In response to her, Mrs. Lang Sr asked condescendingly, "Delete what?"

Lang Xin joined in the conversation, "Mom, do you know that Qu Su has become an Internet celebrity this time? She has really brought shame to the Lang family!"

"Su Nian, you don't have to delete the post. You are just telling the truth."

"Lang Que, how's your divorce procedure going? The Lang family would never accept such a disgraceful daughter-in-law." Lang Xin looked at Qu Su with hostility.

At this moment, Qu Su understood everything.

No wonder Su Nian had been stalling for time.

It turned out that she was waiting for her "reinforcements"!

Qu Su said with a sarcastic smile, "I've been married to the Lang family for three years, but it's the first time that I've known that an outsider can make the decision for the Lang family?"

Despite her animosity towards Qu Su, Lang Xin was cautious not to overtly display it.

Lang Xin only dared to act so unscrupulously because she knew about Qu Su's impending divorce and the opportunity for her to once again collaborate with Su Nian.

"After all, I am Lang Que's wife. Do you have the right to speak on my behalf?"

Anyway, she wouldn't stay in the Lang family for long. Qu Su didn't mind making things worse.

Lang Xin turned pale at once.

Mrs. Lang Sr's frown was barely noticeable as she addressed Lang Que, "Lang Que, it appears that your wife lacks a proper understanding of our family's customs. Perhaps it is time for her to take cues from Su Nian."

"Su Nian, if you have any grievances, feel free to confide in me, I'll offer you my assistance."

Mrs. Lang was putting on airs.

She failed to notice the somber gaze in Lang Que's eyes.

"Auntie, I'm fine..." Su Nian's long eyelashes drooped, and tears threatened to spill at any moment. "Miss Qu is correct. I made a mistake. Despite feeling upset about the contract being snatched away, I should not have disclosed your family affair to others."

She glanced at Qu Su cautiously, her lips curling into a smug smile.

She didn't even need to stand out. There would always be gullible supporters defending her.

As expected, Lang Xin burst into an uproar, "Qu Su, do you know how much effort Su Nian has put in to get this job?"

She had long heard about the dispute outside and had finally managed to trick Mrs. Lang Sr to stand out.

With the elder backing her up, Lang Xin said unscrupulously, "How dare you blatantly destroy Su Nian's contract using my brother's authority? And now you have the audacity to demand that the victim delete her post. Your viciousness knows no bounds!"

Qu Su burst into laughter as if she had heard a joke. "The influence of Lang Que is not effective on Huo Jingqi."

Among all the people in the Capital, Lang Xin was probably the only fool who didn't know about the old grudges between Lang Que and Huo Jingqi.

She didn't even realize that she was being used.

"I got this job with my own strength. Su Nian just puts the blame on me when she is not as good as me... How can you all behave in such a manner?" Qu Su arched her eyebrows, her eyes filled with sarcasm.

Lang Xin glared at him disdainfully, "What makes you think you can do that?"

"Ever since you married my brother, all you do is indulge in food, drink, and entertainment!" She declared with a directness, "Even if you were to immerse yourself in books tirelessly, you would still be no match for Su Nian's intellect and knowledge!"

On hearing that, Qu Su was furious.

What she couldn't stand the most was being questioned about her professional ability.

"Comparing my work with this kind of garbage is an insult to me." Qu Su said, with a hint of anger in her eyes, and still smiled,."But it's okay, I know your level of appreciation ends here."

"Qu Su, how can you talk to Lang Xin like that?" Mrs. Lang Sr defended her daughter, "How can you be so rude?"

"Lang Xin is right. All the money you've spent over the years was earned by Lang Que. Not only are you not pregnant, but you also like to cause trouble and make people worry." Mrs. Lang Sr put on an elder's stance.

Qu Su was delighted to hear that.

All their conversation revolved around Qu Su spending the Lang family's money.

"So you also know that the money of Lang family was earned by Lang Que." What did it have to do with you two, a stepmother and a step-sister?

At least she was still the legal wife of Lang Que. Qu Su thought.

Mrs. Lang Sr. was irritated by her and could no longer maintain her usual generosity. "Is this how your parents teach you to talk to your elders?"

Just as Qu Su was about to retort, a tall figure stood in front of her and said, "You shouldn't have to lecture my wife."

Qu Su couldn't see Lang Que's face clearly, but she could feel the coldness around him.

"Enough. Su Nian, delete the post." He narrowed his eyes, looking impatient.

As soon as he spoke, all the women fell silent.

Lang Xin cowered.

The cold gaze sweeping over them, Lang Que didn't mince words, "If I hear what you said again..."

He left his words unfinished, yet the implicit threat was obvious.

As the current patriarch of the Lang family, Lang Que's words carried immense weight.

Qu Su gazed at the towering figure of the man, her heart pounding uncontrollably.

The next moment, her wrist was grasped. Lang Que pulled her back into the car.

Accustomed to competing with Lang Que, Qu Su felt particularly strange when she was defended by him at first.

It was not until she returned to the Jin Garden that she recovered from the mixed feelings of surprise and joy. "Lang Que..."

"Aren't you afraid that Miss Su would be sad for what you did just now?" Qu Su asked in a low voice, with a hint of panic that she had never felt before.

She was a little afraid to hear a bad answer.
