Chapter 897 -897: Two Women Confront Each Other
This was originally Ye Shiqing’s private affair, but Su Hongxing paid extra attention to it.
Firstly, because Ye Shiqing and Ye Qilan were closely related, and secondly because Qiao Qiao also had an ambiguous and hazy period with Ye Shiqing.
The third reason, of course, was the most important.
On the night in her past life when she nearly got involved with Beichuan, it was Wen Beibei who invited her to the bar. She suspected that Beichuan’s appearance couldn’t have been a coincidence, perhaps it was Wen Beibei setting her up. The reason being, on the night Beichuan gave them a ride, Wen Beibei got out of the car early, and it was Wen Beibei who had extended the invitation to her.
Moreover, everything changed starting from that night.
If Wen Beibei was the person who had framed her in her past life, and now she appeared again in her current social circle, it was a reminder for her to stay alert.
That day, after Qiao Qiao finished work, she saw from afar Ye Xiandong leaning on a sports car with a bouquet of flowers in his hands. As she came out, he ran up to her with the flowers and stuffed them into her hands, “Wife, I know I was wrong. From now on, I will faithfully live my life with you. Please come back home with me?”
In the last few days, Ye Xiandong had been appearing punctually and routinely. Qiao Qiao had gone from being on guard at first to treating it as normal, which was a frightening testament to the power of habit.
“I still want to divorce you,” Qiao Qiao spoke hesitantly, carefully stepping back two paces.
She was fearful of Ye Xiandong’s mercurial temper, afraid of when he might change his face and hit her, and even more scared of facing his countless female acquaintances.
Ye Xiandong noticed Qiao Qiao’s evasive movements, and he inexplicably felt uncomfortable. It was all an act, so why did her avoidance irritate him so much?
Just then, a car drove out and stopped right beside Qiao Qiao.
The driver opened the door and said to Qiao Qiao, “Xiaoqiao, get in the car!”
Qiao Qiao got into the car almost immediately, and after the door closed, she realized Wen Beibei was also sitting inside. At that moment, she felt a bit regretful. Why did she get into Ye Shiqing’s car? If someone had seen that scene just now, they might get the wrong idea.
“Is Number Three bothering you again?” Ye Shiqing asked.
“He just gave me flowers, nothing excessive. Second Brother, I can handle it. Please let me off at the intersection ahead, I’m heading back to Qingmu Garden, which is not on your way,” Qiao Qiao replied by the book.
“Mr. Liu, to Qingmu Garden,” Ye Shiqing ordered.
“Sir, there’s still a dinner meeting later, and I’m afraid…” Mr. Liu hesitated.
“No matter, if it’s too late, we’ll skip today’s dinner meeting,” Ye Shiqing said in a serene voice.
“Second Brother, I can get to Qingmu Garden by myself, taking a car is very convenient,” Qiao Qiao said anxiously.
Wen Beibei, sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly interjected, “Xiaoqiao, since the sir intends to take you, just let him do it obediently. It’s rush hour and he won’t be at ease with you going back alone.”
“What’s there to be uneasy about, I’m an adult, can’t I take a car by myself?” Qiao Qiao retorted.
Wen Beibei seemed not to have expected the usually good-tempered Qiao Qiao to snap back, “Isn’t the sir doing this for your own good? Such a busy man as the sir usually doesn’t have the time to escort people.”
Qiao Qiao had previously thought that Su Hongxing was too paranoid, but as soon as Wen Beibei spoke, it was as if she were speaking on behalf of Ye Shiqing, and her tone was simply uncomfortable to hear.
“Precisely because I know Second Brother is a busy man, that’s why I don’t want him to take me. Xiaobei, as Second Brother’s secretary, you should be advising him not to waste time on me, not saying all this unnecessary stuff.”
