Chapter 88 At that time, Xu Xiaomi was hiding under the stone block closest to the Qi family's gate. There was a small hole in the center of the stone block, which allowed her to clearly see the entire scene in the courtyard.

Therefore, Xu Xiaomi knew everything about Qi Jiaojiao's disastrous behavior.

"Qi Jiaojiao, according to our investigation, your father has amassed a fortune through illicit means. Do you know its whereabouts? If you do, you can redeem yourself through meritorious service."

"Of course, if you know something but don't report it, hmph!" These words came from Section Chief Chen, who was ordered to investigate. He belonged to the newly appointed mayor's faction.

"I don't know." Qi Jiaojiao's tone was clearly hesitant.

"I don't know, huh? Then take her away. It seems Director Wang of the Revolutionary Committee is quite interested in our unmarried pregnant Miss Qi. I just don't know who your lover is. By the way, Xiao Li, if I remember correctly, Director Jiang's daughter from our government recently got divorced. What was the reason for the divorce? The husband cheated on her, right..."

"Section Chief Chen, you have a really good memory. I heard from the Jiang family girl that the woman who was having an affair with her husband also seems to have the surname Qi."

Qi Jiaojiao sensed the hidden threat in their words and, fearing it would endanger her and Wang Wei's safety, blurted out the answer without thinking.

“My dad did bring back some gold, silver and grain, which are buried under that big tree. As for who got pregnant out of wedlock, I certainly didn’t. Section Chief Chen, don’t talk nonsense.”

"Jiaojiao, what did you say?" Mr. Qi's tone was clearly one of utter disbelief.

He never imagined that the daughter he had raised with such care would become the first knife to stab him.

"Haha, our Miss Qi is the one who knows what's good for her. Search!" At the order, the sound of shovels and hoes clashing filled the courtyard, accompanied by a gasp, and Qi's father's crime was definitively established.

It's obvious that the director of a municipal government inspection office has amassed so much wealth and grain in secret; his conduct is clearly questionable.

But the visitor still seemed dissatisfied. He continued to press Qi Jiaojiao for answers.

"That's all? I find it hard to believe. Should I go ask the Wang family?"

Given Qi's temperament over the years, he doesn't believe that this is all there is to it, so there must be more.

"That's all," Qi Jiaojiao replied, but unfortunately, her tone was still not firm enough, and that old fox, Section Chief Chen, found a flaw in her answer.

Why are you constantly looking in that direction if you don't have any problems?

"Let's go check on Director Qi's bedroom."

Sure enough, what was hidden in the bedroom was enough to completely ruin Qi's father.

Seeing the large amount of grain and gold and silver jewelry carried out from a hidden corner of the bedroom, Section Chief Chen laughed heartily.

"Young lady, this is you! Director Qi, you've raised a really good daughter."

Mr. Qi felt utterly absurd; he had worked so hard all his life, only to have it all ruined by his foolish and selfish daughter.

He's been arrested, what good will come of it for her? Even the Wang family doesn't believe him; he's truly a terrible father.

Watching her father being arrested and all the family's belongings being confiscated, Qi Jiaojiao, left alone in the courtyard, burst into tears.

"Dad, I really didn't mean to, I was just so scared!"

As Xu Xiaomi vividly recounted her story, Jiang Xixi's lips twitched incessantly towards the end.

That Qi Jiaojiao is really something else!

No, you can't call it betraying her father; it's just pure selfishness.

But then again, Qi's father wasn't a good person either!

Leaving aside the money and jewelry, the fact that he dared to hoard so much grain suggests he has a lot of dirty deeds on his hands.

...

One day at lunchtime, Xu Xiaomi brought her lunchbox directly to Xixi's office.

"Xixi, why aren't you going to eat?" Xu Xiaomi asked, biting her chopsticks with a puzzled look on her face.

After working all morning, my stomach was growling loudly. Usually, Xixi is one of the first to rush out, just like me. What's wrong with me today?

Jiang Xixi sighed and rubbed her forehead; she was hungry too!

But her husband insisted on bringing her food and eating with her. What could she do?

Jiang Xixi gave an awkward smile and said, "I'll eat in a bit, you eat first. I have some fruit here, you can take it down with you."

Xu Xiaomi swallowed hard as she looked at the big, bright red apple that Jiang Xixi had taken out.

Her family has plenty of fruit, but she hasn't had fruit of such good quality in a long time.

"Xixi, you're so sweet!" Xu Xiaomi, holding an apple, hugged Jiang Xixi and acted coquettishly. Perhaps she was too excited, so she gave Jiang Xixi a kiss on the cheek.

"Honey, look what I brought you!"

Wei Laicheng excitedly opened Jiang Xixi's office door, but upon seeing the scene before him, he froze on the spot.

What is she doing?

She's kissing her own wife!

Wei Laicheng was first shocked, then heartbroken, and finally cast a glance at Jiang Xixi as if she were looking at a heartless man.

Has his wife become so charming that she appeals to both men and women?

Jiang Xixi saw the jealous look in Wei Laicheng's eyes and realized what was going on.

He quickly pulled Xu Xiaomi off him.

"Acheng, you're here!" Jiang Xixi's tone was incredibly soft because she felt guilty (in fact, she didn't know why she felt guilty).

Xu Xiaomi, who was standing next to her, was a little embarrassed at first, but she was used to being carefree and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

At this moment, she was watching with a look of anticipation as Jiang Xixi suddenly became delicate.

Unexpectedly, her seemingly upright best friend would show such a side in front of her husband.

Indeed, love is a magical thing.

Xu Xiaomi was smart this time and realized that it wasn't right for her to stay there and disturb the young couple.

"Xixi, I have something to do and have to go out for a bit. You two, enjoy your meal!" His expression was incredibly lewd, and his tone was utterly unsettling.

Before Jiang Xixi could answer, she saw Xu Xiaomi sneak out of the office, and thoughtfully closed the door behind her.

Jiang Xixi was speechless with emotion, while Wei Laicheng was completely the opposite, overjoyed.

His wife's best friend finally showed some tact for a moment.

“Wife, she kissed you,” Wei Laicheng said in a drawn-out tone, his extreme dissatisfaction evident in his voice.

"Then I'll kiss you back?" Jiang Xixi said deliberately.

Sure enough, Wei Laicheng's expression turned even uglier.

"daughter in law……"

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Xixi silenced him with her mouth.

"Wife~"

Wei Laicheng's eyes widened in disbelief, and then, his entire being radiated an aura of joy from head to toe, inside and out.

This is the first time his wife has ever taken the initiative!

Unfortunately, their sweet moment was interrupted shortly afterward.

"Xixi, come with me quickly, your sister is here again to ruin your reputation!"

Xu Xiaomi's indignant voice began to ring out from the stairwell.

elder sister?

Is Jiang Yurou here again?

Alright, you failed to catch me the last few times, but this time you've come right in front of me. I'm going to teach you a lesson you won't forget!
