Due to issues with the betrothal gift, Qiao Xing's two-year relationship with her boyfriend collapsed overnight. Feeling disheartened, her elderly neighbor insisted his grandson go on a blind d...
Chapter 73 The Rich Kids All Have Some Strange Personalities
Jiang Wang was stunned. Had she misunderstood something?
He stared blankly at Yang Han, "What should I do, cousin? If I go to karaoke with her, will Qin Ce kill me?"
Yang Han raised an eyebrow, looking on with anticipation. "That's possible."
I'm dying of laughter. I never thought Jiang Wang would be afraid one day.
Jiang Wang collapsed onto the sofa, utterly exhausted. He was on the verge of tears, and after a night of reflection, coupled with what Yang Han had said, he had successfully instilled fear in him towards Qin Ce.
Firstly, Qin Ce's strength is undeniable; secondly, he is Yang Han's good friend; and thirdly, he has a very powerful background. If I continue to oppose him, wouldn't I end up losing everything?
Not only will they not get any advantage from Qin Ce, but they may also offend Yang Han.
In Chongqing, he was protected by Yang Han.
"Then, what should I do? Should I go? Or should I just ignore her?"
Yang Han clicked his tongue in amazement, then calmly offered Jiang Wang advice, "You definitely have to go. If you don't go all the way, what if Qiao Xing gets suspicious? Do you think the consequences will be serious?"
"It's serious!" Jiang Wang nodded honestly.
Yang Han continued, "So you not only have to go, but you also have to act convincingly. Then you can inform Qin Ce that you helped him conceal his identity. That way, he won't blame you, and you'll even have helped him solve a problem, right?"
Jiang Wang's eyes lit up instantly. He slowly grinned and gave Yang Han a thumbs up, "You're still the best, cousin."
Yang Han waved her hand, "Alright, alright, hurry up and book a place for them."
Jiang Wang immediately took out his phone. The first thing that came to his mind was a private club, but he was also worried about what would happen if Qin Ce misunderstood.
So he booked a karaoke room with a chain of karaoke bars, a place just for singing, which should be fine.
Jiang Wang sent the address to Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing looked at the name of the KTV and searched it online. It was the kind of KTV that Wang Ye liked to go to, with no strange services.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief; if it was just about singing a song, then the matter would be easy to resolve.
Just treat it as going out for a karaoke party with colleagues.
She could only do this behind Qin Ce's back, because she was afraid that if Qin Ce found out, he would be too embarrassed to let her come.
She had noticed it long ago: Qin Ce was a bit of a chauvinist.
Even though she was the one who caused this whole thing, if she hadn't let Qin Ce pick her up, this wouldn't have happened.
Bai Yi had been observing Qiao Xing's expression, and when he saw that she was visibly relaxed, Xiao Bai moved closer to her.
"How about it?"
Her sudden voice startled Qiao Xing, who quickly said, "I've made contact, he..."
Qiao Xing hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Bai Yi before deciding to tell her the truth: "He invited me to karaoke. I'll put in a good word for you when I get there."
Based on the phone call just now, Qiao Xing felt that he might not be as arrogant as he seemed on the surface, and perhaps there was still room for maneuver in Xiao Bai's matter.
Bai Yi's eyes flickered. "He asked you to go sing karaoke?"
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
Bai Yi's eyes held a subtle glint in them. She knew Jiang Wang better than anyone else what kind of person he was; he had slept with at least eight or ten women.
She was referring to one month.
People who invite girls to KTVs or bars usually have ulterior motives.
"It's nothing, are you sure you want to go?"
Qiao Xing nodded. "I've already promised him. Don't worry, I definitely won't forget about your matter. Whether it works out or not, I'll let you know."
Bai Yi didn't say anything more.
Although Qiao Xing was already married, no one could escape Jiang Wang's advances.
Especially for office workers like Qiao Xing, sooner or later they will be blinded by desire.
Qiao Xing looked at Xiao Bai suspiciously. "What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?"
Bai Yi shook his head. "It's nothing. Just be careful if you drink."
That's all the advice she could offer.
Qiao Xing's heart skipped a beat. Could it be... that Jiang Wang would resort to such despicable methods?
She suddenly started to feel uneasy.
Despite her nervousness, Qiao Xing still had to go. When it was time to leave work, she packed her things and went to the KTV that Jiang Wang had specified.
She gripped her phone tightly, having set Xiaobai's number as the emergency number. This was something she and Baiyi had agreed upon; she would dial it immediately if anything went wrong.
Qiao Xing entered the KTV, found the private room number, stood at the door for a while, took a deep breath, and went in.
The karaoke room was quiet; songs were playing on the screen, but there was no sound.
Jiang Wang was sitting on the sofa, looking down at his phone, and didn't notice that Qiao Xing had arrived.
When Qiao Xing approached and called his name, Jiang Wang looked up at Qiao Xing as if he had just come back to his senses.
"Oh, you're here so soon? Have a seat!" Jiang Wang stood up like a sycophant and gave Qiao Xing a fawning smile.
Qiao Xing stared at him warily, and instead of sitting next to him, she sat on the sofa to his left.
She gripped the bag in her hand nervously and said, "Young Master Jiang, does this mean the matter is over after I sing with you?"
Jiang Wang said, "Of course, I always keep my word, so you can rest assured of what I say!"
Qiao Xing breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Can I not drink?"
"You don't drink?" Jiang Wang paused for a moment, then quickly said "Oh," and added, "Then I won't drink. You hurry up and sing, and then leave as soon as you're done!"
Qiao Xing: "..."
What does it mean to finish singing and leave quickly?
"What song would you like to hear?"
"Whatever."
Qiao Xing always felt that this person was a bit strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange about him. Maybe all rich kids have a bit of an odd personality.
In any case, she had never met a real second-generation rich kid.
She rubbed the tip of her nose, went to the song selection counter, and randomly picked a few songs. She chose songs that were more epic and passionate, avoiding those about love and romance or songs that might evoke certain thoughts.
Qiao Xing held the microphone and sat there singing.
Jiang Wang kept his head down, playing on his phone, ignoring her meaning and not listening to what she was singing at all.
Qiao Xing kept glancing at him out of the corner of her eye, completely baffled as to what he was up to.
After singing two songs, Qiao Xing stopped.
Jiang Wang didn't seem to notice; she just sat there doing nothing.
The atmosphere was strangely awkward. Jiang Wang had invited her to sing karaoke, and then he just sat down. Qiao Xing had the illusion that she was having a solo party.
"Young Master Jiang," Qiao Xing called out to him.
"Huh? You're done singing?" Jiang Wang came to his senses and belatedly realized that the private room had been quiet for a long time.
Qiao Xing nodded. "Mm."
"Fine, you can go now." Jiang Wang waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing away a fly.
Qiao Xing's expression was a little strange; this wasn't what she had expected.
At least, he didn't even mention Qin Ce's matter.
Qiao Xing was still uneasy and asked again, "What about Qin Ce?"
"What Qin strategy?" Jiang Wang looked completely bewildered.
"..."
Has he lost his memory?
After a while, Jiang Wang seemed to remember something, "Oh, oh, it's alright, it's alright, you hurry up and go, hurry up..."
Just as Jiang Wang finished speaking, Qiao Xing's phone rang. It was Qin Ce calling.
