Chapter 1023 First Visit to the Qin Family

After the call connected, Qiao Xing asked directly, "What exactly do you want?"

Qin Fei was somewhat surprised, yet it was also within her expectations, when she received Qiao Xing's call.

She knew what Qiao Xing was talking about, but she pretended not to understand, saying, "I don't understand what you're saying."

Qiao Xing chuckled, "You really don't understand?"

Qin Fei said impatiently, "Qiao Xing, are you out of your mind? Why are you calling me and saying all this for no reason? If you're here to apologize, I'll accept it. But if you're here to say something else, then I'm sorry, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense!"

After Qin Fei finished speaking, she hung up the phone immediately.

Qiao Xing looked at the phone that had been hung up, but wasn't angry.

She had already given Qin Fei a chance, but Qin Fei didn't cherish it.

Qiao Xing stood up and said to Aunt Wu, "Aunt Wu, I need to go out for a bit."

Aunt Wu was startled by her words and quickly came out of the kitchen.

"Madam, there are so many people outside, it's not safe for you to go out!"

Qiao Xing said nonchalantly, "It's okay, they won't dare to do anything to me."

Aunt Wu wanted to persuade her further, but seeing Qiao Xing's insistence, she didn't say anything more.

She simply took off her apron and said, "Why don't I come with you? I'm worried about you going out alone."

Qiao Xing did not refuse.

Although she was mentally prepared, Aunt Wu was still startled when she stepped outside and saw the large group of people surrounding her.

She instinctively shielded Qiao Xing behind her, but she was only one person and couldn't possibly stop so many people.

Qiao Xing was also startled. She wasn't afraid of the reporters, but she was worried that these people would be reckless and hurt the baby in her womb.

Fortunately, Aunt Wu was there to block them, so these people didn't go too crazy.

The moment a group of people saw Qiao Xing, they started taking pictures like crazy.

Someone else, holding a microphone, shouted, "Ms. Qiao, I'd like to ask you, what's your opinion on the rumors circulating online lately? Did you really do something immoral in your marriage?"

Before Qiao Xing could answer that question, someone else asked, "Ms. Qiao, could you please respond to your question about your marriage with Mr. Qin Ce? What was the cause of Mr. Qin's accident this time, and is it related to you?"

Qiao Xing remained calm in the face of numerous cameras and a barrage of questions.

She randomly picked a camera angle and then spoke with utmost calmness.

"I'm sorry, I can't answer those questions at the moment. But if you really want an answer, please give me some time, just one day, and the answers you want will be available then."

Qiao Xing's words instantly silenced the previously noisy crowd.

Several people were looking at each other.

They probably didn't expect that while the story was going viral online and netizens were discussing it wildly, the person involved would remain so calm.

Qiao Xing casually smiled and said to everyone, "I've said what I needed to say, may I leave now?"

Qiao Xing asked a question, but he had already walked straight through the crowd and left.

When she left, no one present stopped her.

Aunt Wu was finally able to relax when she saw that none of those people were chasing after her.

"Amitabha, these people still have a conscience."

Qiao Xing and Aunt Wu explained, "They only care about news and trending topics. Although they sometimes go to extremes, they are all smart people. They won't do anything crazy before they get useful news."

Aunt Wu nodded knowingly.

Then, she asked Qiao Xing with a puzzled look, "Madam, you still haven't told me. Where are you going?"

"Qin Group".

The taxi stopped downstairs at the Qin Group building.

Qiao Xing got out of the car and looked up at the towering building.

This was her first time visiting the Qin family, and of course, she hoped it would be the last.

Qiao Xing took a deep breath and slowly walked into the building.

When the receptionist saw Qiao Xing, she politely asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Qiao Xing said, "I'm looking for Qin Ji."

"Mr. Qin, do you have an appointment?"

Qiao Xing smiled and said, "No, could you please make a call and say that Qiao Xing is looking for her?"

When the receptionist heard Qiao Xing's name, she gave him a meaningful look.

Qiao Xing knew what she was thinking; she guessed that she had also seen those rumors online, which was why she had that expression.

Qiao Xing didn't take it to heart and continued to smile.

The receptionist was quite understanding and didn't ask any further questions; she simply called Qin Ji.

She told Qin Ji Qiao Xing's name, and then, no one knows what Qin Ji said on the phone, but the girl's expression changed slightly, and she hung up the phone.

She forced a smile and said respectfully to Qiao Xing, "President Qin wants you to go upstairs; his office is on the nineteenth floor."

Qiao Xing nodded slightly to express her gratitude.

She turned to Aunt Wu and said, "Aunt Wu, wait for me here, I'll be down in a bit."

Aunt Wu said worriedly, "Then be careful."

Qiao Xing entered the elevator and pressed the button for the nineteenth floor.

The elevator quickly reached the nineteenth floor, and Qiao Xing arrived at Qin Ji's office door.

This used to be Qin Liang's office. After Qin Ji became the acting president, he went to great lengths to renovate it.

From its overall structure to its style, it has become completely different from before.

Qin Ji's move also aroused dissatisfaction from the shareholders' meeting at the time.

As everyone knows, Qin Liang's sending Qin Ji to the Qin family was merely a delaying tactic.

Qin Liang has never officially announced the next successor of the Qin family.

So even though Qin Ji has taken the position of president, the board of directors still doesn't approve of him, and what he's doing is completely unnecessary.

But Qin Ji didn't care at all; he was already the acting president.

The most urgent task now is to get the company back on track. As long as he does what Qin Liang said, once he becomes the real president, he can completely ignore the people on the board of directors.

Qiao Xing stood at the office door and raised her hand to knock.

The door was opened quickly; Qin Ji himself opened it.

When he saw Qiao Xing, he seemed very nervous, and his face even turned slightly pale.

After exchanging glances with Qiao Xing for a few seconds, he said, "Come in."

As Qiao Xing walked in, Qin Ji didn't even have time to say "sit down" or ask her "would you like something to drink?" before directly asking her, "What did you come to see me for?"

Qiao Xing walked over and sat down on the sofa, slowly saying, "You don't need to be nervous. I'm not here to question you or settle scores. I just have something I want to tell you."
