Chapter 385 Pleasing Qiao Xing is more effective than pleasing Qin Ce
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.
Qiao Jie sighed and said earnestly, "Yingying, have you encountered a scammer?"
Qiao Ying had guessed he would say that, so she resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said, "Really, I'm not lying to you!"
“Yingying, it’s not that Dad doesn’t trust you, but do you know what the Qin Group means? How did you two get together with their second young master? Was it an online romance?”
"yes."
Qiao Ying answered decisively, but this answer only further confirmed the fact that she had been deceived.
"You child, you've really gone mad. You actually believe in online dating stuff? You believed him when he said he was the second young master of the Qin family? How much money have you spent on him?"
Qiao Ying was almost speechless. She raised her voice and said, "I'm not lying to you, really. And I didn't spend any money on him. On the contrary, he must have spent hundreds of thousands on me."
"..."
Qiao Jie fell silent. This didn't seem like a scam after all.
"Tell me in detail what happened."
Qiao Ying then explained the whole story to Qiao Jie, bit by bit, how the two met and why they broke up.
She and Qin Yi have broken up, and she had no other choice but to call Qiao Jie for help.
After hearing this, Qiao Jie fell even more silent.
He was the most accomplished member of his family, and every time he returned home, his brothers treated him with great respect.
Now that Qiao Hong's daughter has married a rich man, he's a little embarrassed to ask Qiao Hong to try and build a relationship with her.
If Qiao Hong knew this, one could almost imagine the guy's pretentious face.
Moreover, Qiao Hong's current wife works in a government agency. If he really gets close to Qin Ce, wouldn't he be able to take off immediately?
What if he tries to steal a chicken but ends up losing the rice instead, and Qiao Hong stands up for himself while his daughter hasn't reconciled with Qin Yi? Wouldn't that be losing both his wife and his army?
"Dad, what are you still thinking about?"
Qiao Jie said, "Yingying, I'm asking you, do you and that second young master have a good relationship?"
"Of course it's good. If it weren't, would we have talked for three years? He's just angry right now. He'll definitely make up with me once he calms down."
"Are you sure? If that's the case, then you should wait until he calms down before contacting him. Why go to your fourth uncle?"
Qiao Ying said anxiously, "Dad, you don't understand. Someone of his status will definitely have no shortage of female suitors. What if some vixen takes advantage of him once he calms down?"
"Oh, let me think about it, don't rush me."
"What are you still thinking about? Just go find Fourth Uncle, won't you?"
Qiao Ying's plan was simple: once Qiao Hong found out, he would definitely go to find Qiao Xing. Since he had abandoned Qiao Xing before, the two would not reconcile in a short time. In this way, Qiao Ying could use the pretext of persuading Qiao Xing to see her and thus see Qin Yi.
Most importantly, she needs to establish a sisterly relationship with Qiao Xing, which is the only legitimate reason for her to go to Qiao Xing.
The two chatted until late at night. When they hung up, Qiao Ying checked the time and it was already past 5 a.m.
Qiao Xing had no idea what Qiao Ying was planning. She was woken up by Qin Ce for breakfast that morning.
We need to leave for our next destination today, so we should go early.
To avoid being abandoned by his older brother, Qin Yi got up even earlier than Qiao Xing, so when the two opened the door, they saw Qin Yi standing pitifully at the door.
"Qin Yi, what are you doing here?"
"I heard you say last night that you had to get up early today, so I was waiting for you."
As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Ce, feeling that Qin Ce might abandon him at any moment.
"Let's go downstairs for breakfast," Qiao Xing said with a smile.
Qin Ce was displeased when he saw Qin Yi's expression. He walked past Qin Yi and strode towards the elevator.
Qin Yi and Qiao Xing exchanged a glance.
"Sister-in-law, have I disturbed your time together?"
Qiao Xing blinked and shook her head, saying, "No, it's more lively with more people. I can barely say a few words to him when we're together."
He was oblivious to romance; his eyes showed utter disdain for her makeup, yet Qiao Xing loved it.
Qin Yi smiled and said, "My brother doesn't seem happy, but it doesn't matter. As long as my sister-in-law allows me to come along, he won't kick me out."
He now understands that pleasing Qiao Xing is much more effective than painstakingly trying to please Qin Ce.
Qiao Xing smiled, neither confirming nor denying.
The two went to the breakfast restaurant, had breakfast together, and then set off for their next destination.
Qin Yi drove, with Qiao Xing and Qin Ce sitting in the back.
Before Qin Yi was away, Qin Ce was quite talkative, but now he has reverted to his aloof demeanor, closing his eyes to sleep after getting in the car without saying a word.
Qiao Xing was also very bored. Listening to the songs Qin Yi played, she soon became drowsy.
When they arrived in Jiangcheng, Qin Yi called out to the two of them from the front.
Qiao Xing slowly woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she realized that she had fallen asleep in Qin Ce's arms without even realizing it.
And, to make matters worse, she started drooling...
She stared at the water stains on Qin Ce's chest, her cheeks flushed, and she quickly grabbed two tissues from the side and frantically wiped them away.
Qin Ce grasped her wrist and took the tissue from her hand. "It's alright, no need to wipe. Get out of the car."
Qin Yi, sitting in the front, saw it clearly in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise.
He remembered that his older brother was a bit of a germaphobe, right?
Look at him, he doesn't seem like a germaphobe at all. He even took the tissue that Qiao Xing had drooled on from his hand.
Seeing this, Qin Yi became even more determined to win over Qiao Xing.
They set off in the morning and it's already 2 PM. Instead of heading to the hotel, they went to eat first.
During dinner, Qin Yi took out his phone to watch Yang Han's team's match.
The knockout stage isn't over yet; Yang Han and his team will have to wait several more days before playing the second round.
He was watching the game.
Qiao Xing asked curiously, "Did they win?"
"They haven't played yet; they're playing a practice match. I'm watching from a friend."
"How did the game go?"
Qin Yi watched for a while, then nodded with satisfaction, "You cooperated well, so I'm relieved."
That unfamiliar account must be Xia Nan. She plays mid lane, which is completely different from the mid lane that Qiao Ying played before.
This is the level of skill he displayed when we played together.
Before the dishes were even served, Qiao Xing suddenly got up, walked over and sat down next to Qin Yi, and leaned in to watch the game.
She discovered that the people Qin Yi was watching weren't Yang Han and his group, but rather the characters Xia Nan was playing.
"Xia Nan is so powerful, he's killed several people."
Qin Yi said without looking up, "She was the one playing on Little Rabbit's account before. Her awareness is completely different now. She can keep up with her teammates' pace, unlike before when I went to catch someone, and Qiao Ying would just stand there in a daze, not knowing what I was going to do at all."
As Qiao Xing listened to his complaints, she subconsciously looked up and glanced at him a couple more times.
He was completely absorbed in the game, and a hint of admiration, which he himself didn't even realize, was showing in his eyes.
