Chapter 156 Relationship



Warm blood gushed down instantly, dripping onto Xiao Xin's face.

A sharp pain shot through Jiang Yuqing's head. She paused, her grip on Xiao Xin's hand froze, and she raised her hand to touch her own head.

Seeing the bright red blood on her fingertip, Jiang Yuqing suddenly released Xiao Xin and burst into laughter, "Hahaha..."

Seeing his crazed expression, Xiao Xin knew that this person had eaten something he shouldn't have.

He coughed twice, clutching his throat, then slammed the water glass in his hand to the ground and pressed the call button by the bed.

Two minutes later, Jiang Yuqing was pulled out of the ward by the nurses and doctors who came to help.

The bodyguard crouched down, about to clean up the shards of glass on the ground, when Xiao Xin stopped him: "Take the bloodstains and hair from the shards for testing."

The bodyguard nodded and said "Okay".

Less than half an hour later, the bodyguard came in with a report.

Xiao Xin took a look at the report and saw that Jiang Yuqing had indeed come into contact with poison.

As if he had just thought of something, he sent a copy of the report to Mo Xuan.

Mo Xuan was in a meeting when he received the picture from Xiao Xin and was taken aback.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuqing went so far as to touch that thing.

In the eyes of the always honest and upright Old Master Jiang, this was a disgrace...

Mo Xuan messaged Xiao Xin: How did you know?

Xiao Xin: He just came to my ward, and I smashed his head.

Mo Xuan: Don't spread this around yet. Old Master Jiang has always valued his reputation. Jiang Yuqing claims to be clean and virtuous, but he has done all sorts of dirty things. However, this one thing is not enough to ruin his reputation.

Xiao Xin glanced at the surveillance camera in the corner, then said to the bodyguard, "Make a copy of the surveillance footage from just now."

The bodyguard nodded in agreement, turned around, and left.

Xiao Xin then took out her phone and replied to Mo Xuan: I know that. I'm not interested in his private affairs, but I have to find evidence that he committed murder.

Mo Xuan quickly replied: Okay, just tell me what you need to do, and I'll help you.

Xiao Xin put down her phone, leaned against the headboard, and pinched the bridge of her nose.

Qiao Chen and Jiang Yuqing are most likely accomplices, protecting each other and bending the law for personal gain...

But he couldn't contact Qiao Chen right now, and Yu Muqing's image suddenly appeared in his mind.

Two days later, Xiao Xin was discharged from the hospital.

He learned from his bodyguard that Mo Xuan had been very busy these past two days, so he didn't tell Mo Xuan about his discharge from the hospital.

As Xiao Xin and his bodyguard walked into the parking lot, they saw a tall figure leaning against the car.

Qiao Chen leaned against the car, saw Xiao Xin, and walked over to her.

Xiao Xin was somewhat surprised to see him walking in her direction.

He didn't go to find Qiao Chen, but Qiao Chen took the initiative to come to him...

Qiao Chen stopped in front of Xiao Xin, glanced at the bodyguard behind him, and then said to Xiao Xin, "Mr. Xiao, may I have a word with you in private?"

Xiao Xin understood what he meant, turned to the bodyguard and said, "Drive back first, and give my regards to President Mo."

The bodyguard bowed slightly, walked past the two men, got into the car, and then drove away.

Qiao Chen watched the departing car, then pointed to his own car and said to Xiao Xin, "It's cold outside, why don't you get in my car?"

Xiao Xin nodded.

Once in the car, Xiao Xin sat in the back seat and looked at Qiao Chen beside her: "You called me here because you need something?"

Qiao Chen sat up straight and said, "Mr. Xiao, I won't beat around the bush. The contract that Lanxin Club had you sign last time was something I had the manager discuss with you."

"It's you?" Xiao Xin was somewhat surprised.

Qiao Chen looked at him and nodded: "Yes, it's me."

Xiao Xin recovered from her shock and calmly asked, "Why did you do this? Are you coming to me now to make me pay the penalty for breach of contract?"

No, you've misunderstood.

Qiao Chen smiled and continued, "I did that just to get Fu Yan away from Yu Muqing."

Xiao Xin was taken aback and asked, "You're not jealous of the time and effort President Yu puts into Fu Yan, are you?"

“You’re right,” Qiao Chen didn’t deny it. “As far back as I can remember, Qingqing’s gaze has always been more fixed on Fu Yan than on me. How could I not be jealous?”

No matter how hard he tried and how well he did compared to Fu Yan, Yu Muqing never praised him or even glanced at him.

Fu Yan was different. He could gain Yu Muqing's care and affection without lifting a finger, which made him almost insanely jealous...

Even though the three of them grew up together, Yu Muqing never noticed his feelings.

The thoughts buried deep in his heart grew stronger with the passage of time. Instead of being suppressed, they intensified in his heart, like a tree that had taken deep root and could not be uprooted.

Looking at the pain in his eyes, Xiao Xin didn't know whether to feel sympathy or disgust.

The atmosphere gradually became tense, and Xiao Xin broke the silence first: "So what do you mean by coming to me now?"

Qiao Chen thought for two seconds and said, "I want to give you some money to send you and your father abroad. You name the price."

Xiao Xin's face froze, and she looked at Qiao Chen with a puzzled expression.

Could this person be an envoy sent by Jiang Yuqing?

Or was she testing him?

"Why?" Xiao Xin asked.

Qiao Chen pushed up his glasses and explained, "If you stay in China, Fu Yan will definitely continue to cause you trouble, and he'll create a huge mess. Qingqing will still have to clean it up for him. I don't want Qingqing to be so tired."

Seeing him calling her "Qingqing" so affectionately, Xiao Xin couldn't help but ask, "Are you and President Yu... in a romantic relationship now?"

Qiao Chen was taken aback by his question and glanced at him sideways: "What's it to you?"

Xiao Xin noticed the hostility in his eyes and immediately explained, "No, I was just asking. Don't misunderstand, nothing has happened between me and President Yu."

Qiao Chen withdrew his gaze and said coldly, "Why are you so nervous? I didn't ask anything."

Xiao Xin noticed his jealousy. He had also heard about Yu Muqing's affairs; she only slept with him and didn't date him, and she was the kind of person who would forget about someone once she had sex with them.

Xiao Xin thought it was normal that Qiao Chen couldn't control Yu Muqing.

“Getting back to the point,” Xiao Xin steered the conversation, “I’m not going abroad.”

Qiao Chen frowned. "Why?"

Seeing his unyielding expression, Xiao Xin retorted, "What, don't I have a choice?"

Qiao Chen didn't waste any more words with him, and chuckled, "Then please save up three hundred million as soon as possible."

Xiao Xin: "..."

It seems that his presence has already posed a threat to their plans.

As the car slowly drove along the lane, Qiao Chen suddenly asked, "Where are you going? I'll give you a ride."

Xiao Xin: "Do you also deliver to the Fu family's place?"

Qiao Chen: "...Don't cause trouble."

Xiao Xin laughed: "Of course, unless I'm dead."

Qiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "Then I'll just take you somewhere. I'm sure you'll like it."

Xiao Xin frowned, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

Sure enough, the next second Qiao Chen said to the driver, "Go to the Fu family villa."

The driver replied, "Okay."

Xiao Xin felt a surge of unease. He frowned and looked at Qiao Chen, "What exactly do you want?"

"Fu Yan keeps telling Yu Muqing that he wants you..."

Qiao Chen crossed his arms and smiled smugly: "Wasn't I just doing someone a favor?"
