Chapter 786: Why Can't We

"My mother is the old Madam Huo's external niece," Yun Kai suddenly said, "Although our families don't often interact, the old Madam has always been quite kind to me. Maybe I can help you ask her to delay this matter for a few days."

Qu Linyuan was somewhat surprised by this.

In his memory, this half-brother of his, sharing the same father but different mothers, had always had a contentious relationship with him—it was an 'either you or I survive' kind of hostility.

And the Qu Family was Qu Jing's ultimate bottom line.

If Qu Jing was actually compromising his own bottom line to help him,

it gave Qu Linyuan an indescribable sense of unease.

His gaze sharply pierced through Qu Jing, as if trying to see right through him.

Qu Jing felt uneasy under his scrutiny, his face turning slightly red.

He deliberately darkened his face and raised his voice, "It's not that I want to help you, I just don't want to see Dad angered by you, nor do I want you to harm our family."
