And no one even bothered to tell her about these things.
What wonderful friends they make!
Xie Baola couldn’t help but sneer.
Qiao Xi took Xie Baola’s hand, "You were studying abroad, how could I tell you about these things? They involved our parents, and a lot of it was quite unavoidable. I was just repaying my dad for raising . Although many unpleasant things happened, as long as the outco is good, that’s what matters. You don’t need to worry about ."
Xie Baola’s expression was cold, "What about your dad?"
Thinking about how Qiao Zhenbin even used Qiao Xi’s marriage to achieve his own goals, Xie Baola felt very annoyed.
"He has passed away," Qiao Xi paused, then added indifferently, "His funeral was simple. Shen Dang and I took care of it together."
Xie Baola thought to herself, good riddance, a man who was unkind to his own daughter doesn’t deserve any respect from her.
Xie Baola had known since she was young what kind of life Qiao Xi had been living.
If Qiao Zhenbin were still alive, Xie Baola would surely have cursed him out relentlessly.
But Qiao Xi tolerated it because blood was thicker than water, and Xie Baola didn’t say the words that could upset Qiao Xi.
She was concerned about sothing else.
"How has Shen Dang been treating you?"
Qiao Xi smiled at her, speaking quite cheerfully, "Very well."
Boss Shen’s behavior didn’t give her the chance to utter a word of complaint.
Of course, there were tis he enjoyed so intimate actions with her.
Qiao Xi treated that as a little flirtation between lovers.
Xie Baola looked at the expression on her face and bluntly asked, "Have you two done ’that’?"
Qiao Xi’s face instantly turned red, "What are you talking about, Shen Dang and I aren’t at that stage yet."
Xie Baola saw the blush on her face and let out a sigh of relief, speaking slowly, "That’s good, Xixi, you can’t give a man too much sweetness all at once. You have to keep him hanging, you know?"
She said half-jokingly, "I often hear about Shen Dang’s na even when I’m abroad, didn’t expect him to thrive even after leaving the Shen Family. This kind of man is not easy to hold onto; my dear cannot be mistreated."
Her best friend is in a relationship, what else could she say?
If they hadn’t started dating and she were in the country, she would have definitely tested Shen Dang properly.
As for the man her best friend has chosen, Xie Baola still shows her support.
Boss Shen indeed seed indomitable, but that was only under specific circumstances.
Qiao Xi felt he was fine on normal days.
Qiao Xi laughed, "It won’t happen, he really is good to ."
Xie Baola reminded her, "n in love and n after marriage are not the sa."
She paused and then asked, "Do you plan to remarry?"
Qiao Xi was silent for a few seconds, "That’s a long way off, we’ll see."
Xie Baola scoffed with laughter, "Take your ti choosing; my Xixi is so beautiful, it would be a pity to settle for just one man."
That statent was loaded with implications.
Qiao Xi couldn’t help but laugh, "Are you suggesting I start my own harem?"
Xie Baola tilted her head, smiling slyly at her, "You’re so pretty, it’s not impossible. There’s no rule saying a woman can only have one man."
Qiao Xi: "..."
How could she respond to her bestie’s over-the-top flattery?
"What about you?" Qiao Xi asked leisurely, "Haven’t you dated anyone abroad?"
Xie Baola clicked her tongue and said nonchalantly, "I dated four or five tis, but they all ended. I still think n from our country are better."
Her eyes sparkled with allure, "Will you help find soone?"
Xie Baola always lived by the principle of enjoying the mont.
One should date when it’s ti to date, have fun when it’s ti to play, and chase after what they like.
Only then can one live a happy life.
It wasn’t that she wasn’t serious about relationships, it’s just that they never ended well.
At the beginning of a relationship, everyone hopes it will last, but who can predict whether the ending will be perfect?
So, one must experience, grow, and learn.
Qiao Xi smiled and shook her head, "Actors in the entertainnt industry aren’t for you."
So actors were quite hedonistic in private, and Qiao Xi knew that.
Xie Baola rested her chin in her hand, "This ti when I return, my dad will probably press to get married."
Xie Baola was about the sa age as Qiao Xi.
She felt she was still young. What was marriage to her?
To her, it was an illusion.
Xie Baola had never thought about getting married.
Qiao Xi’s eyes curved, "Uncle Xie is just worried about you."
Xie Baola was the only daughter.
The Xie Family had a significant business, though they had had ties to the underworld in early years, they had gone legitimate long since.
Even so, the Xie Family’s influence remained.
Xie Qian wanted to find a son-in-law for Xie Baola so that his daughter wouldn’t have to marry out, and the family business would have soone to manage it.
A win-win situation.
However, it reduced the pool of suitable candidates.
In today’s world, n willing to be live-in sons-in-law were rare.
And finding one whose background matched Xie Baola’s was even harder.
Of course, Xie Qian hadn’t given up on finding a suitor for his daughter.
Out of the millions of people in the world, there had to be soone right for you.
Xie Baola waved her hand dismissively, sighing, "I think his worries are completely unnecessary."
Could she possibly not find soone to marry?
Not wanting to marry and not being able to marry were two different things.
Qiao Xi smiled.
Even so, father and daughter cared deeply for each other.
Qiao Xi thought of her own father, and her eyes montarily darkened.
When she looked up again, she was composed, "Paula, are you hungry? Let’s go out and get sothing to eat."
"Let’s go. Along the way, we can shop, then go for a SPA treatnt. We have to look fabulous tonight."
"Then I’ll call my good sister when we’re out shopping later, soone I know from the entertainnt circle, Brother Chao’s wife."
"I heard Sheng Chao got married while I was abroad. Surprising," Xie Baola sighed, "Then call her."
Xie Baola knew Qiao Xi didn’t have many friends. Now that she made a good friend while she was away, Xie Baola naturally wanted to et the person Qiao Xi talked about.
"Mhm."
This couldn’t be called lunch, nor dinner, but perhaps an afternoon tea.
Qiao Xi and Xie Baola found a well-known café and sat by the window, where they could see the turbulent river below gleaming with a scattering of golden light in the sun.
The waiter brought them two cups of coffee and so desserts.
Xie Baola was busy taking selfies.
Qiao Xi was ssaging Su Tutu.
[Qiao Xi: My bestie’s back in town. How about we shop and then get a SPA treatnt together?]
Su Tutu replied quickly: [Sure.]
[Su Tutu: Where shall we et?]
Qiao Xi sent Su Tutu the location.
[Su Tutu: OK! I’ll do my makeup!]
You have to look stunning; you can’t be outshone by your bestie’s friend.
[Qiao Xi: Take your ti.]
After posting a nine-grid photo on her social dia, Xie Baola put her phone down.
The beauty paid no heed to the myriad of comnts below.
