Chapter 711 It's just a small matter.
Of course, Qiao Xing wasn't foolish enough to doubt Qin Ce based on just a few words from Shi Yi.
Even if she wouldn't suspect Qin Ce because of Shi Yi, all these coincidences couldn't help but make Qiao Xing think more.
Qin Ce must be hiding something from her.
Xing Jiu gripped the steering wheel, her palms sweating profusely from nervousness.
But having followed Qin Ce for so many years, he had long since developed the ability to remain calm even when faced with a collapsing mountain.
"Madam, Mr. Qin has just been too busy these past few days. He hasn't been deliberately hiding anything from you. You must trust Mr. Qin's character."
Qiao Xing stared intently at Xing Jiu.
Clearly, they didn't believe what he said.
Xing Jiu felt uneasy under her gaze and could only look away in order not to reveal anything.
In Qiao Xing's eyes, this was instead seen as a guilty conscience. "Are you sure you're not going to tell me?"
Xing Jiu was on the verge of tears. "It's not that I don't want to talk, it's that I don't know what to say."
Qiao Xing didn't make things difficult for him. "Then I'll guess myself. You can tell me if it's right or wrong."
Xing Jiu thought that she probably wouldn't guess, so she agreed.
But Qiao Xing's next sentence almost made his jaw drop.
"Qin Ce cheated on his wife?"
Xingjiu, "..."
He stared blankly for a while before looking at Qiao Xing, "Huh?"
"Huh? So, you say yes or no?"
Xing Jiu shook his head violently, "Of course not! How could you think that, Madam?"
Even if every man in the world is capable of cheating, Qin Ce would never cheat.
After asking the question, Qiao Xing realized that his idea was a bit outrageous.
But lately, she keeps hearing the older women in the park gossiping about whose husband cheated on her today, or whose husband abused her the day before yesterday.
The more you hear it, the more you can't help but overthink it, and then you unconsciously ask the question.
Especially seeing the incredulous expression on Xing Jiu's face, Qiao Xing knew she had asked the wrong question.
She gave an awkward twitch of her lips, then her expression returned to its initial seriousness.
"Did something bad happen to the Qin family, so he deliberately didn't tell me?"
Xing Jiu shook her head. "I only know about President Qin's schedule at the company. He never tells me about things at home."
Qiao Xing thought about it and realized that if it was related to the Qin family, Qin Ce had no reason to hide it from her.
Previously, Qin Liang had deliberately put pressure on her because of Qin Ce, saying things that should and shouldn't have been said.
Therefore, there's nothing that needs to be kept from Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing guessed and guessed, but none of them were right. She didn't know if she was overthinking it or if Xing Jiu was deliberately keeping it from her.
Xing Jiu said helplessly, "Madam, please don't overthink it. President Qin really has nothing to hide from you. If there really is something, he will definitely tell you."
Qiao Xing said, "That's not necessarily true. If I find out about that and misunderstand him, do you think he'll still tell me?"
Qiao Xing paused, as if suddenly realizing something, "Xing Jiu, tell me honestly, is the thing he doesn't want to tell me related to girls?"
"No, Madam, please don't ask..." Xing Jiu was about to deny Qiao Xing's words on his own, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized something, "What?"
Qiao Xing felt she must have guessed right. "Tell me, is it related to a girl? Who is it, Shi Yi? Or another sister of Qin Ce?"
Qiao Xing believed that Qin Ce would not do anything to betray her. If there was something he hadn't told her, he must have had his reasons.
If this matter has nothing to do with the Qin family, then it's not a matter of principle.
That was all Qiao Xing could think of.
Xing Jiu never expected Qiao Xing to think of this, but it was a lucky accident.
To prevent Qiao Xing from overthinking, Xing Jiu hesitated for a moment and said to Qiao Xing with some difficulty, "Madam, President Qin didn't mean to hide it from you. He was just afraid you would overthink it."
Qiao Xing blinked. "I guessed right?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
Xing Jiu told Qiao Xing about everything that had happened in the capital a few days ago.
After saying that, Xing Jiu was afraid that Qiao Xing couldn't handle it, so she quickly explained, "Don't worry, President Qin kept his distance from her the whole time and didn't touch her at all. Those news reports were just made up by the media."
After hearing the whole story, Qiao Xing was both amused and exasperated. "That's it? Then why did he keep it from me?"
Qiao Xing then remembered the pile of things Qin Ce had bought for her that day.
At the time, she was puzzled as to why Qin Ce was suddenly buying her clothes and jewelry, even though it wasn't a holiday or festival.
Now the truth is out.
Xing Jiu explained, "Since you're pregnant, President Qin was worried that these things would cause trouble and be bad for you. He didn't want you to have any more worries about these things, and he was more concerned that you might overthink things."
Qiao Xing smiled helplessly, "Do you really think I'm such an unreasonable person?"
Xing Jiu quickly shook her head, "No."
“He’s never been a casual person. Since he did it, he must have his reasons. I believe him.”
Qiao Xing guessed that this must be related to the Qin family.
Given Qin Liang's attitude towards Qin Ce, how could Qin Liang possibly let him complete such a large project so smoothly after he went to the capital?
Qin Ce was not the kind of person to be bullied. Since Qin Liang had done those things first, he was bound to retaliate.
Xing Jiu carefully observed Qiao Xing's expression and tentatively asked, "Madam, are you really not angry?"
Qiao Xing said, "I'm angry!"
Xing Jiu looked as if she were facing a formidable enemy, "This..."
Qiao Xing said, "But what makes me angry is that he kept this from me for such a small thing. I believe him, but he doesn't believe me. So what if I'm pregnant? Being pregnant doesn't mean I'm stupid. I still have basic judgment. I'm not an unreasonable person. He just needs to tell me clearly. There's no need for him to hide it from me."
Xing Jiu remained silent.
The main problem was that he didn't know what to say.
This is ultimately a matter between the two of them, so he really shouldn't interfere.
However, he could tell from Qiao Xing's expression that Qiao Xing wasn't really angry; at most, she was just a little upset.
After learning the reason for the incident, Qiao Xing suddenly felt relieved.
She could accept anything as long as things weren't as she expected.
Xing Jiu sent Qiao Xing to the Big Bad Wolf's company.
As they got out of the car, Qiao Xing suddenly asked Xing Jiu, "So, Grandpa knows about this too?"
Xing Jiu nodded.
"Did he call you here this morning because of this?"
Xing Jiu thought to himself, since he had already started, he had no choice but to keep up the lie. He nodded again and said, "Okay."
Qiao Xing was even more helpless. "I really admire you guys. It's such a small thing. I thought something big had happened."
