"I've done as you said and gotten Jiajia to implicate Su Qingqing. When are you going to get her released from the police station?"
Mr. Zhuo sat behind his desk, asking the person on the other end of the phone, a hint of worry showing on his fleshy face.
"Don't worry, I guarantee your daughter will appear safe and sound this afternoon."
The voice on the phone was androgynous, indistinguishable between male and female, and strangely eerie.
Upon hearing this, Zhuo's father felt somewhat at ease.
That day, he had just learned that his beloved daughter had been taken to the police station and was about to go find Su Yaoyao when this mysterious person in his phone contacted him.
He wanted Jiajia to shift all the blame onto Su Qingqing. Su Qingqing and Yan Yu had a close relationship, and he originally dared not offend her. However, this mysterious person somehow obtained information about his crimes of embezzling public funds multiple times in Huo's company over the years!
He told himself that if he didn't cooperate, not only would Jiajia go to jail, but he would too!
Faced with the mysterious man's threat, Zhuo's father had no choice but to compromise.
However, what puzzled him was why the mysterious person had gone to such lengths.
He promised to rescue Jiajia, and with Yan Yu backing Su Qingqing, she was even less able to do anything. Was he just going around in circles to make it seem like this never happened?
"May I ask who you are?"
The voice on the other end immediately turned cold: "This is none of your business."
Father Zhuo frowned slightly, but dared not say anything more, after all, he couldn't afford to offend this mysterious person now.
"Okay, I won't ask anymore. I'll wait for your good news this afternoon."
After saying that, there was no further response; the call was immediately disconnected.
...
Time flies, and it was already afternoon. Since I was going to attend Mrs. Ole's birthday party that evening, but I didn't have a suitable outfit, I made plans to go shopping with Xu Xiaoxin.
It's been a long time since we last saw Xu Xiaoxin, and she seems to have lost even more weight; all the cute baby fat on her face has disappeared.
"Xiaoxin, what have you been up to these past few days? Are you on a diet?"
Xu Xiaoxin's smile froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered and took her arm, laughing, "Are you jealous that I've lost weight?"
Su Yaoyao stared at her face, feeling something was off, but she still laughed and retorted when she heard this: "I'm not envious of you. You must have been dieting to lose weight, unlike me, I'm the type of person who can eat anything and not gain weight."
She raised her chin, looking rather proud.
Xu Xiaoxin; "..."
Why does she want to be abused?
"Alright, alright, let's go buy things. Don't say things that make me jealous!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yaoyao's eyes lit up with a smile, and she let Xu Xiaoxin pull her into a dress shop.
Both of them have great taste, so they quickly found suitable clothes.
Since Su Yaoyao needed to get her hair and makeup done, Xu Xiaoxin waited for her outside. After a while, Xu Xiaoxin suggested buying milk tea and came out alone.
"A-Xian, what do you think of this?"
As Xu Xiaoxin passed by a clothing store, she suddenly heard a sweet voice. She felt it was somewhat familiar and subconsciously turned her head to look.
Inside the Chanel store, a tall and slender girl held a white dress worth millions. Her features were exquisite and perfect, and her long, wine-red hair was tied up high, just reaching her waist. She looked just like a heroine from an anime, unbelievably beautiful.
The man beside her was tall and imposing, his perfect physique encased in a black suit. His sharply defined features and elegant, noble demeanor exuded a sense of masculinity and extraordinary status.
Jun Xian tilted his head slightly, his gaze falling on the dress in Xiao Qing's hand.
"You're good-looking, you look good in anything."
The man smiled, his eyes gentle, and his frank praise made the girl beside him blush.
“Ah Xian…”
When Xu Xiaoxin saw this scene, she felt it was incredibly painful, and her heart ached terribly.
Xiao Qing smiled and took the clothes to the fitting room. After watching her go in, Jun Xian seemed to realize something and immediately turned around.
Xu Xiaoxin's eyes turned red without her noticing. She didn't expect Jun Xian to turn around suddenly. In her panic, she tried to dodge but tripped over a potted plant at her feet.
She fell to the ground in a sorry state, her knees immediately swelling and turning red, but she still gritted her teeth, got up, and ran out.
Jun Xian's gaze sharpened slightly. He placed a black card on the counter. "When Miss Xiao needs anything, just swipe your card here. Please tell her I have something to attend to and must be leaving now."
The young woman at the counter blushed and nodded. "Young Master Jun is so handsome!"
Xu Xiaoxin called Su Yaoyao as she walked.
"Yaoyao, I have something to do and need to go back first. You can go to the banquet by yourself after you finish your hair and makeup. I won't go with you. Be careful."
Hearing her urgent tone, Su Yaoyao assumed that she had something important to attend to, so she said, "Okay, go ahead and do your thing. If you need any help, be sure to tell me."
"Okay, I understand."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Su Yaoyao had already finished her makeup, and her already stunning beauty made her even more dazzling, like a bright pearl that no one could look away from.
“Miss Su, there’s a gentleman outside who wants to give you this necklace. What do you think…”
A staff member approached with an exquisite necklace. Su Yaoyao frowned as she glanced at it, then followed the staff member's finger and looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa outside.
He was somewhat overweight, wearing a suit, with a rugged and fleshy appearance, and looked to be in his forties.
