Lu Suyan raised her head and answered, "Yun Bixue, you should think this through. In the capital, once the Yuan family and Han family join through marriage, they will be the greatest royal family. If you were to go against me for them, you'd definitely provoke Miss Yuan. You wouldn't want that to happen, would you?"

Yun Bixue snorted, "So what if I offend her? I've never been afraid of anyone!" She had even slapped Jiang Jingshan before, so why would she be afraid of Lu Suyan? What a joke!

Moreover, the Yuan family would be eradicated by Qin Huailing sooner or later, so Yuan Shuangrui wouldn't be someone formidable in the future.

Even if the Yuan family were to join the Han family by marriage, that would just be an engagement. The links between the two families were still unknown.

Tan Xinxuan noticed how proud Yun Bixue looked and felt excited all of a sudden. This was the person she wanted to look up to. She admired Yun Bixue's demeanor.

Tian Xiaojuan and the few of them had been feeling rather depressed, but they felt energized all of a sudden. Indeed, what were they afraid of? There was nothing to be afraid of!

Lu Suyan snorted at how Yun Bixue overestimated her abilities. "Yun Bixue, you might not be afraid of anything, but you really are no match for the Yuan and Han families. If you don't trust me, you can try."

Yun Bixue scoffed and started fiddling with her fingers. She replied coldly, "Miss Lu, right? Lu Suyan? Your name sounds pretty sweet, but you're just too evil. How are the Yuan and Han families related to you? You sound as though you belong to either family. Would those families go against me just because of a small fry like you? Dream on!"

Lu Suyan grew so livid that her face turned pale. However, she still didn't dare to offend Yun Bixue. She could only clench her jaw and reply, "Yun Bixue, I'm doing this for your own good. I suggest you get a better grip on reality!"

"There's no need! You're not a loyal friend to them. Apologize to them!"

Lu Suyan pointed at herself and looked at Tian Xiaojuan in disbelief. "You want me to apologize to them? Hmph. That's impossible."

Yun Bixue yawned and answered, "In that case, there can only be one solution." She then turned to Tan Xinxuan and said, "Shouldn't you do something to a friend who secretly betrayed and stepped all over you?"

Tan Xinxuan's eyes glinted brightly, and she rubbed her hands gleefully. "Yes, we should."

"What are you waiting for then?"

Tan Xinxuan didn't know why, but she felt motivated. She thought that Yun Bixue possessed a convincing and persuasive aura. She was indeed a leader.

Rolling her sleeves, she stepped forward and slapped Lu Suyan. "We agreed at the start that friends should be loyal and help each other. I don't care about your other friends, but you've made a promise with all of us."

"How dare you hit me? Only you would believe in such a silly thing. Hmph. Miss Yuan, they hit me! How dare they hit me…" Lu Suyan began to scream loudly.

Immediately, four guards dressed in black barged in. They looked as though they were going to deal with Tan Xinxuan and the rest.

Tan Xinxuan glared at Lu Suyan fiercely and said, "You're so cruel!"

With a glance, Lu Suyan knew that those four men were highly skilled guards who stayed by Miss Yuan's side. A pleased glint flashed across her eyes.

Before she could even respond, Yun Bixue stepped forward, much to her surprise.

Yun Bixue strode forward and stood in front of the four guards. She declared coolly, "Don't you dare think about hurting these six ladies with me around!"

Yun Bixue's tone was cold, yet firm and commanding as she tried to dominate over the four guards.
