Shen Jingxiu's gaze remained fixed on Wen Yan's face.
Seeing that Wen Yan's expression was normal, he asked:
"The banquet here is almost over, and I'm planning to head back. Would you like to come with me?"
Wen Yan was somewhat surprised by his words. She glanced at Su Yang subconsciously, then turned her gaze back to Shen Jingxiu.
"Is it okay? Is it alright for us to leave now?"
Although she asked the question cautiously, Wen Yan was actually overjoyed inside.
[Yes! What an amazing guy! I was so bored I wanted to go home. I shouldn't have worn these high heels today, ugh, my feet hurt so much!]
Hearing Wen Yan's thoughts, Shen Jingxiu glanced at her shoes without making a sound.
It's small and pretty, but you can tell at a glance that it won't be comfortable to wear.
He then turned to Su Yang and said, "Mom, I've already spoken to my cousin."
Su Yang nodded: "Then you should take Yan Yan back first. It's getting dark, so please drive slowly on the road."
"Okay, then we'll be going now."
After saying that, Shen Jingxiu looked at Wen Yan and said, "Let's go get your coat first."
After retrieving their coats, the two left the banquet hall side by side.
Meanwhile, Min Xiaxia was still searching inside the banquet hall.
However, instead of finding the person they were looking for, they saw Wen Yan leaving with a tall man.
Min Xiaxia felt envious and jealous just from seeing Shen Jingxiu's back.
Why is Wen Yan so lucky? Just by looking at the man's back, you can tell he's not ugly, unlike the one she's hooking up with.
With this in mind, Min Xiaxia searched even more diligently.
Finally, she managed to find Qiao Kexin touching up her makeup in the bathroom.
At this moment, Qiao Kexin looked distraught, her eyes red and swollen as if she had been crying.
Seeing Min Xiaxia staring at her in the mirror, she immediately hurriedly tidied up her cosmetics.
Just as she was about to leave, Min Xiaxia suddenly called out to her.
"Hello, may I have a chat with you?"
Qiao Kexin is not in the mood right now.
She glanced at Min Xiaxia listlessly, her face expressionless: "We don't seem to know each other."
Min Xiaxia smiled and said, "Won't we get to know each other by chatting?"
However, Min Xiaxia couldn't be sure if there was anyone else in the bathroom besides the two of them, so she lowered her voice and leaned close to Qiao Kexin's ear.
"Do you know Wen Yan? I'd like to ask you some questions about her. This isn't the place to talk, how about we go outside?"
Upon hearing Wen Yan's name, Qiao Kexin instinctively flinched.
However, seeing the clearly malicious glint in Min Xiaxia's eyes, she wavered again.
A few minutes later.
The two arrived at a secluded place.
After finding a place to sit down, Qiao Kexin spoke first this time: "Your name is Min Xiaxia, right?"
Min Xiaxia chuckled softly: "So you knew me."
Actually, Qiao Kexin didn't know her before, but after watching Wen Yan's variety show, she knew that there was such a person as Min Xiaxia.
A woman who is both pretentious and annoying.
"Just tell me straight, what do you want from me?"
"Actually, it's nothing. I'm just curious about Wen Yan, but there's so little information about her online, so I wanted to ask you about her."
"Oh?" Qiao Kexin glanced at Min Xiaxia warily. "You know I have a relationship with her, so you think you know her well?"
Min Xiaxia raised an eyebrow: "To be honest, I only just found out that you two might know each other. I still don't know your name. But I just saw you go to the terrace with her, and it seemed like you stayed there for quite a while. In the end, it seemed like you parted on bad terms. It seems like your relationship isn't very good?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Kexin frowned: "I think you should stop beating around the bush and prying into my private affairs, okay? Can't you just say what you want to say? I've watched your show, and you don't seem to like her very much, is that right?"
Min Xiaxia's smile froze for a moment, and she remained silent for two seconds before speaking.
"Since you've already figured it out, I'll be frank. I don't really like her, and she's in my way, so if you have any dirt on her, you might as well sell it to me. The price is negotiable."
How much can you give?
Upon hearing Qiao Kexin's question, Min Xiaxia immediately smiled.
"Looks like I guessed right, you really can't stand to see her doing well. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly, but that depends on how valuable the material you bring out is. If it's explosive enough, hundreds of thousands or even millions shouldn't be a problem."
"Hundreds of thousands or millions?" Qiao Kexin chuckled lightly. "Is this how you treat beggars?"
Min Xiaxia's expression changed: "You're quite arrogant. You can earn hundreds of thousands or millions just by selling me some information, and you still look down on it?"
Qiao Kexin, of course, didn't think much of it.
What can you do with a one-off business deal worth hundreds of thousands or millions?
What's more! She simply doesn't have any dirt on Wen Yan! Nor does she dare to expose any dirt on Wen Yan!
The biggest secret about Wen Yan right now is her identity as the adopted daughter of the Shen family.
However, Qiao Kexin didn't dare to offend the Shen family at all!
Because about ten minutes ago, Shen Jingxiu from the Shen family found her.
He's not someone I can afford to mess with!
A dozen minutes ago...
After being severely threatened by Wen Yan, Qiao Kexin left the terrace unwillingly.
She originally wanted to go to her stepfather and tell him that she wasn't feeling well and wanted to go home first.
She had only taken a few steps from the terrace when a stranger called out to her.
"Hello, are you Ms. Qiao Kexin? A Mr. Shen would like to see you. Please come with me."
Qiao Kexin was startled when she heard the name "Mr. Shen".
"Which Mr. Shen is it?"
However, the unfamiliar waiter did not answer his question directly, but simply smiled politely and said, "You will know when you get there."
The more the waiter remained silent, the more a bad feeling arose in Qiao Kexin's heart.
She had just been defeated by Wen Yan, but unexpectedly, the men of the Shen family sent people to find her.
"Can I not go?"
The waiter still had a faint smile on his face: "Mr. Shen said that if you don't go, you will definitely regret it."
If someone said that to her, it was probably a joke or they were just bragging.
But the Shen family definitely has the capability.
Therefore, even though Qiao Kexin was unwilling, she still obediently followed the waiter upstairs.
She was quickly led into a room, and as soon as she entered, the door was closed from the outside by a waiter.
