What does Chapter 706 mean?

Sun Miao continued talking to himself, seemingly unaware of what he was saying.

Shen Boyan frowned and glanced at her. "Miaomiao."

Tao Yang reacted quickly this time, stopping Sun Miao, "Miao Miao, we're at work, let's not talk about these gossips."

Sun Miao was completely confused.

Tao Yang and Shen Boyan both looked at Qiao Xing, but fortunately Qiao Xing was focused on Sun Miao's drawing paper.

She looked up and found them all staring at her. Puzzled, she asked, "What's wrong? What are you all talking about?"

Shen Boyan said, "It's nothing." He paused, then asked Qiao Xing, "When is your husband coming back?"

Qiao Xing said, "I don't know yet. They said a couple of days ago that they were almost done with their work and it should be soon."

It will be soon.

Shen Boyan snorted coldly in his heart.

This man may not be good at much else, but he is very good at making excuses for himself.

Qiao Xing didn't pay attention, but Shen Boyan remembered the date clearly.

It has been a full half month since Qiao Xing said that Qin Ce would be back from his business trip in about three days.

If he were really busy with work over there, that would be one thing, but that man…

Shen Boyan remained silent, glanced at Qiao Xing, and seemed to have something to say.

"Qiao Xing, you..."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Qiao Xing raised her eyes and looked at Shen Boyan.

Just as Shen Boyan was hesitating, Qiao Xing's phone rang.

Qiao Xing apologized to Shen Boyan, saying, "I'll go outside to take this call."

Shen Boyan had no choice but to swallow his words and nod, "Okay."

After Qiao Xing left, Shen Boyan pursed his lips and fell into deep thought.

He didn't want to tell Qiao Xing about Qin Ce; that would be too much of a blow to her.

However, Shen Boyan did not want to see her deceived by Qin Ce, sincerely treat her lover, only to find out in the end that the person she deeply loved was a hypocrite.

But in what capacity should he tell Qiao Xing these things?

If they are friends, then this is Qiao Xing's private matter. Even if he is her friend, as long as Qiao Xing doesn't say anything, he has no right to interfere in her life.

If they are colleagues, then you should be even less likely to interfere.

Shen Boyan realized that after knowing Qiao Xing for so long, he always had to find a high-sounding reason to be good to her.

Qiao Xing walked out of the conference room and answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Sister-in-law, this is Shi Yi." Shi Yi's voice came through the phone, calm but tinged with sadness.

"Shi Yi?" Qiao Xing was a little surprised. "Why did you suddenly call me?"

Shi Yi pursed her lips, seemingly unsure how to begin.

Qiao Xing sensed her distress and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yi sobbed twice and said helplessly, "Sister-in-law, it's like this, my family's company has encountered some unexpected problems, and I wanted to ask Brother Qin Ce for help, but I couldn't get through to him on the phone. I had no other choice but to call you. Can you get in touch with Brother Qin Ce?"

Qiao Xing asked in surprise, "Can't get in touch? How could that be?"

Shi Yi gave a wry smile, "Maybe I'm the only one who can't get in touch with Brother Qin Ce."

Qiao Xing didn't understand Shi Yi's words. "What do you mean?"

“After Brother Qin Ce came to the capital, some things happened. It’s probably because of these things that there was a misunderstanding between us, which is why he doesn’t want to talk to me.”

Shi Yi sounded very aggrieved, and Qiao Xing asked anxiously, "What happened to him? Is it serious?"

"No, no, it's not serious. It's all a misunderstanding. Brother Qin Ce should have already taken care of it. He probably didn't tell you because he didn't want you to worry."

Qiao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

However, she wasn't really at ease. She thought it wouldn't be convenient to ask Shi Yi over the phone, so she decided to call Qin Ce after hanging up and ask him.

She said to Shi Yi, "Don't worry, I'll call him later and see if he's not busy. He should answer."

Shi Yixin said happily, "Thank you so much, sister-in-law!"

"You're welcome."

After Shi Yi hung up the phone, the smile on her face gradually faded.

Her purpose in making that call to Qiao Xing was not at all to get Qiao Xing to contact Qin Ce to help the Shi family.

Because she knew very well how ruthless Qin Ce was, and since she wasn't being honest with him, this was the price she had to pay.

Shi Yi admitted it.

But just because she admitted it doesn't mean she'll let it go.

Shi Yi really wanted to know how Qin Ce would explain himself to Qiao Xing, since he could get Tan Yuwen to give the media an explanation.

Shi Yi also understood that this matter might not be a big deal for Qin Ce. After all, Qiao Xing wasn't stupid and wouldn't divorce Qin Ce just because of this.

But she is a woman, and women understand women best. Even if Qiao Xing believes Qin Ce, such things will more or less leave a seed of doubt in her heart.

Even if Qiao Xing doesn't act unreasonably in front of Qin Ce by then, many problems will still arise between the two of them.

In this way, Qin Ce's pressure on the Shi family can be somewhat relieved.

Qiao Xing was filled with questions after hearing Shi Yi's words.

She originally wanted to call Qin Ce to ask what had happened in the capital.

But as soon as the call was dialed, after one ring, Bai Yi suddenly invited her to a video call.

Qiao Xing had no choice but to hang up the phone and answer Bai Yi's video call.

"Qiao Xing, are you busy?" Bai Yi appeared in the frame and asked Qiao Xing with a smile.

"It's alright, not busy." Qiao Xing noticed that her background seemed to be in a boutique in a shopping mall. "Are you shopping?"

Bai Yi said, "Yes, the branch will be having a trial opening in a few days, and I might have to go there for a while. I was thinking of buying some clothes for Wang Ye's parents before I leave."

Although Bai Yi's marriage to Wang Ye was a marriage of convenience, she was genuinely in love with He Fen and Wang Yue.

Even though He Fen made things difficult for her in every way, she never took it to heart.

Qiao Xing couldn't help but admire Bai Yi's vision, and said to her, "This is a good thing. My uncle and aunt will definitely be happy."

Wang Yue will definitely be satisfied, but whether He Fen will be happy is another matter.

After all, given He Fen's temper, even if you buy her a gold bracelet, she'll still scold you for buying something so expensive.

Of course, this might just be a general attitude towards Bai Yi.

Bai Yi said to Qiao Xing a little embarrassedly, "I called you because I wanted to ask if you could help me pick out a few styles that she would like. I haven't bought any clothes for his mother yet, and I don't know what style she usually likes to wear. You two are relatives, so you should know her."

Bai Yi turned the camera around, and Qiao Xing immediately saw rows of women's clothing of different styles.

Baiyi has put a lot of effort into this; you can tell just from the store's decor. The clothes in this store must not be cheap.
