Qiao Xi didn’t ramble with her, but directly asked her, "What interesting thing happened?"
"Qu Keke: I thought you wouldn’t ask , but since you did, I’ll tell you."
Qiao Xi replied with a simple "Hmm."
"Qu Keke: Didn’t I leave quite late last night? Then, I saw Qiao Nan being taken away by several people."
"And then?" Qiao Xi asked.
"Do you know who was one of them?" Qu Keke was deliberately trying to pique Qiao Xi’s curiosity.
If Qiao Xi didn’t actively ask her, she wouldn’t have bothered to ntion it.
"Who?" Qiao Xi asked.
Seeing Qiao Xi had asked, Qu Keke finally sent a ssage: "You’ll never guess who it was!!!"
"???" Qiao Xi responded.
And just like that, she was almost ready to block her.
Qu Keke no longer teased, "Chu Xiuyun!!!"
The several exclamation points were enough to express Qu Keke’s shock.
Qiao Xi was also stunned.
Chu Xiuyun?
How did Qiao Nan get involved with Chu Xiuyun?
This puzzled her, as they were clearly unrelated.
Her phone vibrated again.
Qiao Xi looked down.
Perhaps too lazy to type, Qu Keke sent a voice ssage instead.
Qiao Xi opened the voice clip.
"Everyone knows Chu Xiuyun likes you, but now he’s gotten involved with Qiao Nan. I suspect it must be bad news. Seeing how things were last night, Chu Xiuyun must have collaborated with Qiao Nan for a while. Be careful; he might be seeking revenge out of unrequited love or using Qiao Nan as a substitute since he can’t have you. Or maybe he intends to use Qiao Nan against you. Wow, the more I think about it, the scarier it gets."
Qiao Xi: "..."
How about quitting being a socialite and becoming a screenwriter instead?
Qu Keke was waiting for a response from Qiao Xi. Seeing none, she sent another voice ssage, "Just tell whether my guess is right? I haven’t shared this with anyone else, just you."
"What are you talking about, Qu Keke? What are you plotting now?"
The sudden voice startled Qu Keke.
"Damn! Brother, you scared !" Qu Keke looked toward the doorway, her expression aggrieved: "Didn’t you go to the office? Why are you back?"
Qu Jiashu gazed her up and down, "Ca back to grab sothing, who are you talking to?"
"I’m chatting with Qiao Xi, tipping her off!"
Qu Jiashu eyed her smug expression with so confusion: "Chatting with Xixi? You must be kidding."
Qu Keke was speechless: "Why would I lie about that?"
Qu Jiashu snorted, asking, "Since when did you two beco so close?"
Chatting?
The sun must be rising from the west.
Qu Keke pursed her lips, her expression unnaturally denying, "You’re overthinking it, I’m not close with her!"
She was just bored.
Yes, bored, that’s why she was chatting with Qiao Xi!
Qu Jiashu narrowed his eyes: "So what exactly did you tell her?"
Qu Keke then recounted everything that had happened the previous night.
She described it vividly, also expressing her shock.
Qu Jiashu grabbed his stuff and was about to leave when he still called Shen Dang.
"I heard sothing," Qu Jiashu didn’t beat around the bush.
"What is it?" Shen Dang was lazily curious.
Qu Jiashu said, "Qiao Zhenbin sold Qiao Nan to an old man, and Chu Xiuyun rescued her. One loves Xixi hopelessly and the other despises her deeply, these two have gotten connected..."
A dangerous combination indeed.
Qu Jiashu clicked his tongue aningfully, "With the things those Chu siblings have done, are you just going to let it go?"
A lethal chill twinkled in Shen Dang’s eyes, he coldly chuckled, "Of course not."
Shen Dang was already secretly dealing with the Chu family, but the Chu family was a formidable mountain; he couldn’t demolish this mountain all at once.
He planned to dismantle this mountain bit by bit.
Hearing his determination, Jiashu knew he had plans and didn’t say more, "Alright, as long as you’re sure, I’m off."
"Uh-huh."
After hanging up, Shen Dang still instructed his n to investigate the matter between Chu Xiuyun and Qiao Nan.
The next two days, Qiao Xi didn’t leave her house.
She went to record an episode of "Dream Chasing Camp."
The rest of the ti, she spent at ho reading scripts.
The sudden ringtone abruptly broke the tranquility at ho, Qiao Xi stretched her hand to grab the phone and answered it upon seeing the caller ID.
"Brother Jiayan."
Chen Jiayan told her that soone needed to check out the new house, and since he was away on a business trip, he couldn’t make it.
Since Qiao Xi was free, she drove out.
Qiao Xi arrived at her new house, just as she reached the entrance, she heard a noisy argunt inside.
Clearly, there was so disagreent.
Qiao Xi stood at the door and listened for a while until the noise subdued before she walked in.
The inside was still unfinished, with dust and plaster flying everywhere, the air was not good.
Qiao Xi coughed.
The foreman, found by Chen Jiayan, knew that the owner was a lady; seeing Qiao Xi, he eagerly approached her, "You must be Miss Qiao, the owner? Mr. Chen told you’d be coming."
Qiao Xi replied with a nod.
Qiao Xi had already heard this voice raging quite fiercely outside.
She had caught the gist of the matter and had so ideas in her mind.
After discussing with the foreman, she also noted the surroundings.
Cigarette butts and piles of trash were not cleaned up.
And seeing that the owner was a woman, their work attitude was sowhat lethargic.
They probably didn’t take Qiao Xi seriously because she was a woman.
When Qiao Xi returned to her car, she sent a ssage to Chen Jiayan. As she was about to start the car, her phone rang.
Seeing the caller, Qiao Xi arched an eyebrow and leaned back into the seat, her fingers tapping on the steering wheel, "What’s up?"
"Qiao Xi, you know who I saw?" Qu Keke’s voice was sowhat excited.
Qiao Xi unenthusiastically replied, "Just spit it out."
Qu Keke seed to be lowering her voice, but the shock was still audible, "Chu Wan and Qiao Nan! These two won were actually shopping together!"
"Why are you so surprised?"
Qiao Xi, too, was montarily surprised, but then thought it was only normal.
Qiao Nan could get involved with Chu Xiuyun, what was so strange about Chu Wan?
Qu Keke scoffed, "Stop pretending."
In Hai City, none of the legitimate heiresses liked Qiao Nan, the illegitimate daughter, so they didn’t mix with her.
Qiao Nan also couldn’t blend into their circle.
Chu Wan, being prideful, would certainly not regard Qiao Nan.
Now that these two who had never interacted were together, wasn’t that odd?
Qiao Xi chuckled, "What am I pretending?"
Qu Keke firmly said, "It must be because of Chu Xiuyun that Chu Wan got involved with Qiao Nan."
This socialite only just realized?
Qiao Xi, in a detached manner, responded, "What does this have to do with ?"
