Chapter 532 is a bit mean.
She still had some time before she arrived, so Qiao Xing looked around the roadside to see if there was anything to eat.
There was a roasted sweet potato stall by the roadside. She took out her phone to check if it was safe to eat, and the internet said it was, so she bought a sweet potato.
Then he waited for Cao Yun outside the shop while munching on sweet potatoes.
She didn't expect Cao Yun to arrive so quickly; she had only eaten half of a sweet potato when Cao Yun arrived.
She had seen Cao Yun's photo before, so she recognized him at a glance.
Cao Yun was also surprised to see her eating sweet potatoes. She had never met Qiao Xing, so in her imagination, Qiao Xing should be a haughty, arrogant rich lady.
Who would have thought she was dressed so simply, eating sweet potatoes by the roadside?
"Are you around here?" Qiao Xing asked awkwardly, holding the sweet potato, wondering if this person had been waiting for her here all along.
"Yes, I wanted to stay here and watch over them. You eat first, and we'll talk after you've finished."
Qiao Xing couldn't possibly eat in peace. She took a couple of bites and tossed the food into the nearby trash can, then wiped her fingers with a tissue. "Let's go inside then."
Qiao Xing went in first. There weren't many people in the store today, and there was an empty seat. She asked Xing Jiu to buy some yogurt and cake, otherwise she would feel bad taking up a seat here.
Cao Yun sat down opposite her, and the two looked at each other, feeling somewhat awkward.
Qiao Xing blinked and caught a glimpse of Wang Qin mopping the floor. But she didn't need to worry; the two of them probably hadn't met before and didn't know each other.
Qiao Xing spoke first, "What did you want to talk to me about?"
Cao Yun stared intently at her, as if recalling something, or perhaps carefully choosing his words.
After a while, Cao Yun said, "I saw you when I was a child."
"What?"
“When you were very young, you came to our house. You seemed like a rather introverted little girl.”
Qiao Xing frowned, increasingly confused about what she was trying to do.
Cao Yun said, "I still remember Qiao Hong's attitude towards you. At that time, I asked him who that girl was, and he said he didn't know her, that she might be a relative's child."
"He never cared about you at all, and he didn't care about you at all."
Qiao Xing sighed, "What exactly are you trying to say? Stop beating around the bush."
“I want to say, why do you help someone like him? He never showed you any love or care when you were young, and he never treated you like his daughter. You don’t need to be filial to him.”
At this point, Qiao Xing vaguely guessed what was going on. It must be that Cao Yun knew about Qiao Hong's affair, which was why he came to her.
She thought that Qiao Hong's promotion and raise were because she had helped him.
Qiao Xing said helplessly, "You may have misunderstood. I already said on the phone that I have no contact with him and have never helped him. You must have the wrong person."
"If it weren't for your help, why did he not get promoted in all these years at the company? Why did he suddenly get promoted now?"
Qiao Xing was also frustrated by this. That man went to the capital and sought out Qin Liang in front of so many people. Qin Liang made him rise to prominence with just one phone call.
She looked at Cao Yun and said seriously, "So what do you want?"
Cao Yun gave a bitter smile. "What else can I do but come to you with these things? If I say I don't want him to have a good time, will you be angry?"
"Of course not."
Cao Yun was also surprised and looked at Qiao Xing suspiciously, "Are you really not helping him?"
"Even if you know how he treated me before, why would I still help him?"
Cao Yun finally believed her and, after a moment of silence, said, "Okay, I understand."
The two had nothing more to say, but she didn't seem to be leaving. Qiao Xing hesitated about how to say goodbye, glancing out of the corner of his eye at Wang Qin who kept looking this way, but he didn't dare to come forward.
Qiao Xing was stunned, wondering if she had overheard their conversation.
Qiao Xing thought for a moment, then asked Cao Yun, "Why did you come to me? If you don't want him to have a good time, you can just get a divorce."
“My divorce from him will not have any impact on him, it will only satisfy his desires. Even if we were to divorce, I would wait until he is down on his luck. Divorcing him now would be too good for him.”
Qiao Xing couldn't help but glance at Cao Yun again.
Although she and Cao Yun had little interaction and might even be somewhat hostile, at this moment, she really wanted to stand by her side.
Qiao Hong, that scumbag, doesn't deserve happiness.
He abandoned his wife and daughter when he was young, and now that his other two children are all grown up, he wants to do it all over again.
Calling him a scumbag wouldn't be an exaggeration.
"So what do you plan to do?"
Cao Yun fell silent. "I don't know. I'm unemployed and have no income. What can I do?"
She could only collect evidence of Qiao Hong's infidelity first, and then try to delay the divorce as much as possible.
"You just said you were staking out him here, so you must know about his cheating, right?"
"Okay. Got it."
Did you take any photos?
Cao Yun nodded.
Qiao Xing thought for a moment and tentatively suggested, "Why don't you send those photos to his company?"
Cao Yun looked at Qiao Xing in astonishment, seemingly not expecting her, as her daughter, to say such a thing.
Qiao Xing felt a little guilty under their gaze. She didn't want to do anything bad, but special people should be treated with special methods.
Anyway, Cao Yun will handle this matter. Even if Qiao Hong finds out later, it won't concern her. It's a matter between the two of them.
Qiao Xing felt that the suggestion was a bit malicious. From her perspective, it was killing two birds with one stone, but from other people's perspective, it was a bit vicious.
Cao Yun's gaze towards her changed, becoming somewhat meaningful.
After a while, Cao Yun said, "I'll think about it. I'm really sorry to have bothered you for so long. I'll be going now."
Qiao Xing nodded, not trying to persuade her to stay any longer.
As she watched her leave, she noticed that the cake and yogurt on the table were still uneaten, so she casually gave them to Xing Jiu.
After Cao Yun left, Wang Qin suddenly came over and sat down opposite her.
She hesitated before saying, "Stars..."
"What's wrong?"
"Who was that just now?" Wang Qin had actually overheard some of it when she passed by and guessed the woman's identity.
“It’s Cao Yun, Qiao Hong’s current wife.” Qiao Xing stared into her eyes, but there was no anger or resentment as he had expected; she was very calm.
That's true. So many years have passed, and she's met someone even worse than Qiao Hong. What does the harm Qiao Hong did to her amount to?
"Oh, it was her. I overheard them talking about something that seemed to be going on?"
“Yes, Qiao Hong wants a divorce now.” Qiao Xing said with a hint of sarcasm, “He’s so old, and he still wants a divorce. A leopard can’t change its spots.”
Wang Qin sighed, "She's a pitiful person too."
Qiao Hong married Cao Yun after their divorce. Cao Yun was unaware of those events, and from a certain perspective, Cao Yun had no grudges against them.
"Whether they're pitiful or not, it's their own choice, so don't worry about them."
