Chapter 943 She Likes Him
Qiao Xi's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Sun Weimeng's head.
Let him freeze in place.
My mind was turning slowly like a rusty wheel.
"What's his purpose in doing this?" He repeated this sentence, his mind barely grasping the truth. What else could that prodigal son Zhao Qin have in mind? He must have wanted to piss him off.
But reason pulled him back.
Zhao Qin had done so many things for Pei Zheng, so he shouldn't have taken those photos of Xia Sisi on impulse just to anger him.
Qiao Xi patted his shoulder and motioned him to sit down.
She took out a cotton swab and wiped the blood from his arm, then said slowly, "First, Zhao Qin must be trying to test how much Miss Xia means to you."
If Sun Weimeng really rushed out to settle the score with Zhao Qin, then Zhao Qin's evil plan would succeed.
He will become even more aggressive towards Xia Sisi.
Make Sun Weimeng even more painful.
Even if Xia Sisi became a hostage to contain Sun Weimeng, Zhao Qin still had a deep network of connections in the entertainment circle of the imperial capital. It would be easy for him to deal with a small star.
Sun Weimeng pursed his lips tightly, he knew that Qiao Xi was right.
"Is there a second one?"
"It's leverage." Qiao Xi, an outsider, saw things more clearly. "These photos are leverage he holds. Once Xia Sisi does something to anger him, the photos will be exposed. Xia Sisi's future will be ruined... He probably doesn't want Xia Sisi to do things for you."
"...I didn't want her to do anything for me. I just felt that by involving her in this matter, I wanted to protect her a little. That little green tea girl has been playing with so many women. I no longer have any feelings for her. We just got what we wanted."
Qiao Xi looked deeply into his expression.
Sun Weimeng said so much, isn't it just to cover up? If he really doesn't care, why bother explaining so much to her.
"Qiao Xi, what do you think I should do? Should I just leave it alone?" Sun Weimeng was anxious.
Even though he has no moral integrity, he is still a kind person at heart.
Qiao Xi threw the cotton swab aside and asked, "You said you have nothing to do with Miss Xia, so what position do you intend to use to intervene in this matter?"
"I..." Sun Weimeng's voice became weaker and weaker. "After all, it was me who implicated her."
Qiao Xi let out a breath slowly. Actually, it couldn’t be said that she was implicated.
Xia Sisi, driven by her pursuit of fame and fortune, had gotten herself involved. She was wavering between Sun Weimeng and Zhao Qin, and had taken the wrong path from the start. The situation was worse than she had imagined, and it seemed she had no way to protect herself with her abilities.
But thinking about what Xia Sisi said to her that night.
Qiao Xi felt that this girl was very contradictory. In fact, she was very kind, but also very ambitious.
She likes Sun Weimeng, but she cares more about her own future.
"Young Master Sun, do you think Miss Xia will call you for help? Maybe she doesn't even know that the photos have been sent to you."
Sun Weiming glanced at his phone. There was no news from Xia Sisi. He complained a little, "She has a brother, right? If she didn't tell me about something like this, she should at least tell her brother."
"The relationship between the siblings seems to be rather strained. I heard from Xingzhou that her brother actually doesn't want her to enter the entertainment industry. So the two of them probably have less contact..." Qiao Xi still remembered that Xia Sisi's brother was the doctor responsible for Xiang Mingzhu's psychological treatment.
Speaking of Xiang Mingzhu, she and her mother went abroad.
Lu Yutong was clearly involved in the Lu family's evil deeds, but some people are lucky enough to avoid any scandals. But thinking about their mother-daughter relationship, I feel that Lu Yutong will not have a peaceful life in the rest of her life.
Qiao Xi withdrew her thoughts, looked at Sun Weimeng and said, "Wait for Xia Sisi to call you."
"Can we just wait?"
"Well, she has a strong sense of self-esteem."
I probably don't want the person I like to know about this.
Sun Weimeng felt complicated and dissatisfied: "She might not take these photos seriously."
"Young Master Sun, there is no woman who doesn't care."
"She has so many mistresses..."
"Maybe it's a helpless choice, or maybe you don't know the inside story at all?"
"Qiao Xi, why do you always talk to her? Has she drugged you?"
Qiao Xi looked at him calmly and said, "Young Master Sun, I just think everyone has their own choices. Sometimes you can consider things from Miss Xia's perspective, and maybe you'll get a different answer."
She didn't take sides.
If Xia Sisi hadn't asked her to keep it a secret, she really wanted to tell Sun Weimeng. Xia Sisi's approach to Zhao Qin was really not what he thought.
And Xia Sisi is not so cold-blooded and heartless.
She likes him.
Sun Weimeng was feeling uneasy.
Qiao Xi took out a long needle, looked at him and said, "The needle hasn't been inserted yet, stretch out your hand."
Sun Weimeng was a little impatient, but he still stretched out his hand obediently.
He was thinking of some remedial measures in his mind. No matter what Xia Sisi did, those photos must not be leaked.
He thought for a long time before speaking, "I'd like to ask Huo Xingzhou to send someone to keep an eye on Zhao Qin's actions for me. If he contacts a reporter to release the photos, we'll intercept him. This way, we can minimize the damage. You're right. No matter what kind of girl, those photos would be extremely hurtful."
Xia Sisi didn't ask him for help.
Then he would provide her with a last line of defense.
It can be considered as making up for her.
"Young Master Sun is becoming more and more thoughtful."
"Why are you praising me like a child?" Sun Weimeng flipped through the letter that was left aside on the coffee table. When he pulled it out, he found that it was an invitation letter.
It looks quite gorgeous.
"Whose?"
"Nearby." Qiao Xi raised her eyes and took a look, then looked away.
The tone is somewhat casual.
Sun Weimeng took a look and found that it was from the Li family. He sneered: "How dare the Li family send an invitation? What kind of name is this, a welcoming banquet?"
He thought of the fragments of words he heard last time in the bar.
The Pei family may be in collusion with the Li family.
The Li family is engaged in cultural business overseas and also has many auction houses.
The Li family also likes the Liu family's jewelry store.
If I remember correctly, both the Li family and the Pei family have many assets overseas. It can be said that overseas is their second home.
He told Huo Xingzhou that the Pei family's smuggling of antiques must have involved the Li family.
That's unfortunate.
"This is the Hongmen Banquet, right? Li Cheng is returning to his country."
Qiao Xi laughed inexplicably: "Li Nianqi has also returned to China."
"That sticky guy is back again. He's really not afraid of losing face."
"I guess they think the rumors have passed, and our Huo family can't dwell on the past. Madam Li is still a good friend of my grandmother, so it's not impolite to send this invitation. And Xingzhou has already agreed to go."
"Then I'll go too."
Sun Weimeng just loves to join in the fun.
"Okay, tonight's banquet."
Qiao Xi could already imagine how lively it was.
