Chapter 200 I'm Just Having Fun
Xue Ling blinked, touched her cheek somewhat guiltily, and whispered, "Because I'm amazing."
"..."
She wasn't telling the truth, that was Qiao Xing's first reaction.
But Qiao Xing opened her mouth, then didn't know how to persuade her anymore. After all, she had already said everything she needed to say, and Xue Ling was determined to stick to her own ideas, so there was nothing she could do.
She then thought of the relationship between Qin Ce and Yang Han. The two got along so well, it would be such a pity if their relationship broke down because of Xue Ling.
After thinking for a long time, Qiao Xing decided to try again.
"Xueling, you know Yang Han is married, right?"
Xue Ling paused, and to cover something up, she pretended to look down at her phone. "I know."
"If you know that, you should also understand that what you're doing will cause trouble for many people, Yang Han, your aunt, and your brother, you..."
Xue Ling suddenly looked up at Qiao Xing, her eyes flashing with an unreadable light. "Sister-in-law, I was just playing a game with him, I didn't do anything else."
"..." Qiao Xing was silenced by her again.
Xue Ling added, "Only you and I know that I was playing a game with Yang Han. Nobody else knows. When I don't want to play with him anymore, I'll delete him, and he won't even know that it was me. Will this cause trouble for everyone?"
"What I mean is... there's no need for you to do this. You're creating a fake account to play the game with him, and he won't even know it's you. Even if you play with him for the rest of your life, he'll never know it's you. What are you trying to achieve?"
Xue Ling said, "I just want to have fun."
Qiao Xing realized that this girl was not just stubborn, but incredibly stubborn and impossible to persuade.
"Never mind, I'll go cook." Qiao Xing stood up and was about to leave.
Xueling grabbed her hand. "Sister-in-law, are you angry?"
"I didn't." Qiao Xing wasn't angry, but she felt powerless and helpless.
Xue Ling asked, "Will you keep this a secret for me?"
Qiao Xing was silent for a while, then said, "I can only say that I won't tell anyone unless they ask."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Xue Ling's eyes. "Then can't you keep this a secret for me?"
Qiao Xing said, "Xue Ling, you know what you're doing. I can't help you with these things, do you understand?"
Xue Ling fell silent.
After a long while, she finally said, "I understand. Then don't tell anyone else. You promised me."
"Yes, I can agree to that."
"All right."
Anyway, nobody knows right now except Qiao Xing. As long as Qiao Xing doesn't say anything, no third person will know about this.
But this made Xue Ling even more careful; she absolutely couldn't let anyone else see her teaming up with Yang Han again.
After all, Yang Han's profile picture is so distinctive that it's easy to guess who he is.
Qiao Xing gave her a deep look, sighed helplessly, and carried the groceries to the kitchen.
She had just finished washing the vegetables when another call came in. Qiao Xing glanced at it casually; it was an unfamiliar number. She promptly hung up and silenced her phone.
If they want to fight, let them fight.
Before muting herself, she sent Qin Ce a message, asking him when he would be back.
Qin Ce did not reply, so Qiao Xing put his phone away.
Qin Ce had already finished get off work and drove to the hotel where Qin Yi was staying.
Qin Yi, Qiao Yi, and Shi Yi were all sitting in the hotel lobby.
He strode inside.
When Joey saw him, she smiled and waved to him, "CeCe, come here quickly."
Qin Ce walked over calmly and sat down alone on a sofa.
Qin Yi's expression was complicated because Qiao Yi had told him that she would be leaving the country in a couple of days. He had just arrived and she was leaving, so he couldn't help but wonder if Qiao Yi was trying to avoid him.
Joey took Qin Yi's hand and said, "Xiao Yi, I originally planned to leave after the New Year, but something came up and I have to go back earlier."
"Don't worry, I will come back."
Qin Yi remained silent.
Joey kept comforting him, "I'll spend more time with you these next few days, okay?"
Qin Yi remained silent.
Joey was somewhat helpless. She looked at Qin Ce for help, her eyes asking him to come up with a solution.
Qin Ce said expressionlessly, "Then why don't you all go abroad together?"
Qin Yi was slightly taken aback. Although these words sounded unrealistic and not very sincere, he did feel a momentary flutter in his heart.
Joey said irritably, "What nonsense are you talking about? If Xiao Yi leaves with me, won't Qin Liang chase me all the way abroad and kill me?"
The divorce was a messy affair, with neither side willing to back down. Qin Liang threatened her, telling her not to come back and not to even try to make a move on Xiao Yi.
Joey, naturally unwilling to admit defeat, immediately declared that she would never return, even if it meant death, and would never set foot in Kyoto.
So for many years, she never went to see Qin Yi.
Not even once.
"What if I really want to go with you? Would you be willing?" Qin Yi suddenly asked.
Joey paused, her expression becoming complicated.
"Xiao Yi... don't talk nonsense. What are you going to do with me abroad?"
“I don’t want to stay here anymore, and I don’t want to see that family’s hypocritical faces.”
Joey looked at him intently, a flicker of something in her eyes. She patted Qin Yi's hand and said softly, "Then you absolutely cannot leave."
Qin Yi looked at her, puzzled. "Why?"
"If you leave, won't all of Qin Liang's family businesses fall into other people's hands? You've endured this for so many years, are you just going to hand them over like this?"
Qin Yi's eyelids twitched.
"When you encounter difficulties, you can't run away from them. You have to learn to overcome them. Only when you have real control can you do what you want."
"Otherwise, are you going to run away for the rest of your life?"
"I have no objection to you wanting to go abroad with me, but what happens after you go? Will you cut off all ties with Qin Liang? Wouldn't all the suffering you've endured over the past twenty years have been for nothing?"
Joey spoke earnestly, and Qin Yi's tense expression gradually relaxed.
Clearly, Joey's words struck a chord with him, and upon reflection, he did indeed feel somewhat resentful.
At this point, Qin Ce suddenly spoke up, "So why did you call me here?"
Joey glanced at him. "Don't play dumb with me. I've made myself perfectly clear. Why are you still pretending to be stupid?"
Qin Ce twitched the corner of his mouth but didn't say anything.
Of course he knew; he recognized it from Joey's very first words.
Joey wanted him to help Qin Yi.
Joey's strong-willed nature has never changed.
Especially after learning that Qin Liang had treated Qin Yi badly in the Qin family all these years, her competitive spirit was further aroused.
Qin Liang took her son away but didn't treat him well, so naturally she wouldn't let him off easy.
