Chapter 280 Let's see how she manages to say that.
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment. She thought she was seeing things because she was still half asleep. She rubbed her eyes and was about to take a closer look when suddenly a pair of hands appeared on her waist and pulled her down.
She lay completely on top of Qin Ce, and her phone fell back onto the bedside table.
Qiao Xing was now fully awake. Although she couldn't see, she could tell from the man's breathing as he tapped her face that the two were very close.
"What are you doing?" Qin Ce suddenly asked from the darkness.
Qiao Xing froze, not daring to move, her fingers gripping his collar, and whispered, "I thought someone messaged me, but..."
She frowned slightly. Still half-asleep, she wasn't sure if she was seeing things. "I think I got your phone."
"Okay, let's go to sleep. Aren't you going to work tomorrow?"
"Oh yeah..." Qiao Xing also remembered that she had to go to work tomorrow.
Qin Ce held her waist and led her back to the bed, expertly holding her in his arms.
Qiao Xing pressed her cheek against his chest, hearing his heartbeat through his clothes, and said, "I think I saw someone call you Young Master Qin?"
"Just kidding, some people even call me President Qin."
"Okay." Qiao Xing nodded, not thinking much of it; after all, others still called her Miss Qiao.
Qiao Xing was half asleep when she drifted off to sleep.
The room was already quite hot with the air conditioning on, and with Qin Ce holding her in his arms, she not only felt hot but also had trouble breathing.
Qiao Xing was woken up shortly after falling asleep, and she turned over so that her back was to him.
The hand on her waist pulled her back again. Qiao Xing secretly reached out and quietly removed his hand, wanting to get away from him.
The next second, he tightened his grip even more, almost strangling Qiao Xing to death.
"you……"
Qiao Xing was certain he wasn't asleep yet, but halfway through her sentence, he suddenly rolled over and precisely sealed her lips with his, silencing her for the rest of her words.
Qiao Xing's face flushed instantly.
This person...
Some people, once they start eating meat, can't quit.
Qiao Xing suddenly felt a little regretful.
Especially when she woke up the next day and saw that it was 10:30, her regret reached its peak.
She simply couldn't take his torment anymore...
Qiao Xing opened her phone and glanced at WeChat. Sure enough, Bai Yi had messaged her again, asking if she was going to the company today.
She quickly replied to Bai Yi, telling him she would go in the afternoon.
It's not her fault. That man probably kept her up until four or five in the morning last night, so how could she possibly get up at seven in the morning?
After replying to the message, Qiao Xing immediately ran to wash her face, brush her teeth, change her clothes, and go to the company.
However, it was almost closing time, and seeing that the restaurant had breakfast, she decided to sit down and eat it as lunch.
My aunt called again right after we finished eating.
Qiao Xing frowned, not needing to guess why she wanted to see her.
She answered the phone while changing her shoes.
As soon as the call connected, before Qiao Xing could even speak, her aunt's voice came through.
"Xingxing, why don't you tell your mom to keep an eye on that Lin Qiangxing? He came to our house to cause trouble again today. He's really unpredictable. Yesterday he came to demand our people, and today he's coming to demand our house. What do we owe him?!"
Qiao Xing was taken aback. "You want a house?"
"Yeah, the moment he walked in today, he said he had a share in this house. Pah! What kind of person is he? He's a complete stranger, yet he wants to claim a share of the house. Tell me, where does he get the nerve?"
Qiao Xing's feelings were somewhat complicated.
When she wanted to buy that house before, her aunt caused her a lot of trouble, and in the end, the house was still not sold to her. Now that Lin Qiang has come to allocate the house, Qiao Xing suddenly feels...
Luckily, she didn't buy that house, otherwise she would be the one being harassed now.
"Xingxing, say something! Do you think what he did was unfair?"
Qiao Xing remained silent for a moment, suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, and casually replied, "Okay, I understand."
"That's right, you should talk to your mom. If that doesn't work, you can try to persuade him. After all, he's your stepfather, isn't he?"
"Aunt, I have to go to work now. I'll talk to her later."
"Okay, hurry up, this guy is shameless!"
Qiao Xing quickly hung up the phone, changed her shoes, and went out to take the bus to the company.
She had no intention of getting involved in the matter, and even if she told Wang Qin, would Wang Qin be able to persuade Lin Qiang?
Lin Qiang asked his aunt for the house, but it had nothing to do with her.
After finishing her call, He Fen returned to the house and saw Lin Qiang still sitting casually on the sofa. She then called Wang Ye.
Lin Qiang is afraid of Wang Ye; only Wang Ye can come back and subdue him.
Lin Qiang glanced at He Fen, crossed his legs on the sofa, and said leisurely, "You made the call, didn't you? It's fine, you can make the call in front of me. I've already asked the lawyer, and I do indeed have a share in this house."
He Fen retorted angrily, "What right do you have? What does this house have to do with you? How dare you come here to ask for it?"
“Why not? This is the house left by my father-in-law, it’s an inheritance, and they didn’t make a will, so the house should be divided equally.”
"Hey, here you go, father-in-law! Call Wang Qin over here and see if she'll have the nerve to come and claim this house."
"She's been gone for twenty years without a word. Did she visit the elderly couple even once when they were sick and hospitalized? Did she come back when they died? Now she has the nerve to claim the house? Doesn't she fear being struck by lightning?"
He Fen spoke with such emotion that Wang Yue, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but frown. "What are you saying?"
He Fen glared at him. "Shut up! Every time this happens, you come out and pretend to be a good guy. You're useless at everything, but you're number one at helping outsiders. Call your sister and bring her over. I want to see how she dares to say that!"
Wang Yue was a little annoyed. He turned his face away, not wanting to argue with He Fen, and naturally didn't call Wang Qin to come over.
"You're not going to fight? Fine, I'll fight!"
He Fen was about to take out her phone to make a call when Wang Yue grabbed it, saying, "What's the point of calling her?"
It was obvious that Lin Qiang had come to ask for money; how could Wang Qin possibly make that decision?
Even calling Wang Qin over was useless; she couldn't persuade Lin Qiang at all, and instead made things difficult for her.
He Fen was completely enraged. She waited for Wang Yue, both angry and incredulous.
"Wang Yue, whose side are you on? You don't want this house anymore? Fine, give it to them and we'll sleep on the streets, okay?"
"That's not what I meant. Bringing Xiaoqin here won't help. We..."
He Fen interrupted him, "Xiaoqin, Xiaoqin, calling each other so affectionately, Wang Yue, I finally understand you, you're a heartless ingrate!"
"You always side with others. I'm the outsider. Fine, I won't hit you, I'll just leave!"
He Fen angrily shook off his hand and turned to go back into the house to pack her things.
