Chapter 114.
Xu Baiqing staggered back to her room, her face flushed and her clothes disheveled. Thinking of the smug smile on Qian Yirong's face, Xu Baiqing couldn't help but feel a little angry. What just happened was a replica of the day in the study, but the situation between her and Qian Yirong was completely reversed.
Although she was not uncomfortable, Xu Baiqing shook her head violently when she thought of this. She had the upper hand at the beginning, but now she was suddenly suppressed from all sides. Xu Baiqing's competitive spirit rose involuntarily.
It doesn't make sense that I, who have always had the upper hand, would always be at a disadvantage. Let's see who has the better method in the future. Xu Baiqing has found a way to avoid being at a disadvantage, but this can only be used at the critical moment. Xu Baiqing doesn't want Qian Yirong to know about it and be on guard.
So before that, she still needs to wait for a suitable opportunity. Xu Baiqing feels that this opportunity will not be too late, and then she will give Qian Yirong a big "surprise".
Xu Baiqing did not go to find Qian Yirong that night, which made Qian Yirong, who had been expecting something, a little disappointed. However, they still had time, and Qian Yirong was not in a hurry now. After all, she had the means to suppress Xu Baiqing.
The next morning, Xu Baiqing woke up from a chaotic dream. There was still some spring in her eyes. When she came to her senses and thought about what happened in her dream, she did not hesitate to put the blame on Qian Yirong.
So what Qian Yirong saw early in the morning was Xu Baiqing's "bad" attitude towards her. Qian Yirong thought it was because of what happened yesterday. She couldn't help but feel a little funny. After all, Xu Baiqing has grown up very quickly recently and become very mature. She hasn't seen Xu Baiqing look so childish for a long time.
I have to say that I still miss her a little. Of course, Qian Yirong would not behave like this in front of the angry Xu Baiqing. She was more considerate to Xu Baiqing, and even her few deliberate probing behaviors were in line with her wishes.
Seeing Xu Baiqing gradually calm down, Qian Yirong's mouth corners also rose calmly. He was still so easy to coax, Qian Yirong thought so in her heart, and then sent the person to Qian's, and told her to remember to call her when she met Mu Zexuan, so that she could also listen to what Mu Zexuan and the people behind him were planning.
Xu Baiqing agreed immediately. After all, her experience might not be enough to see through the deeper meaning behind Mu Zexuan's contact with her. If she relayed this to Qian Yirong afterwards, Qian Yirong would not be able to receive more details.
When they go to meet Mu Zexuan, Qian Yirong will also be listening. She will definitely be able to analyze more things from the tone, and Xu Baiqing will not fall into a trap because of ignoring something.
After separating from Qian Yirong, Xu Baiqing prepared to enter Qian's as usual, and then she saw Qian Chengshu waiting for her in the corridor leading to the company. As early as when Mu Zexuan asked her to meet through Qian Chengshu, Xu Baiqing guessed that Qian Chengshu would definitely be involved in this matter.
"Sister, the time and place are set," Qian Chengshu said in a low voice, "Four o'clock in the afternoon, Qinghe Tea House."
"Okay, I got it. Please give me a ride when the time comes," Xu Baiqing replied.
This was also Qian Chengshu's purpose. Seeing that Xu Baiqing knew to take him with him without his reminder, Qian Chengshu smiled with satisfaction and didn't say anything more. As for Ruan Rongzhen, Qian Chengshu believed that Xu Baiqing could find a suitable excuse to fool her.
Time passed quietly, and soon it was around 3:30 in the afternoon. Xu Baiqing raised her hand and looked at the watch on her wrist. It would take about fifteen minutes to get to Qinghe Tea House from Qian's. She was a punctual person, so she was ready to set off.
"Sister Ruan, I have to go out for something and will be back before get off work. Could you please help me deal with the remaining documents today?" Xu Baiqing said straightforwardly.
"Okay, I understand." Ruan Rongzhen agreed calmly without any reason.
Xu Baiqing picked up his phone and contacted Qian Chengshu, asking him to meet in the underground garage. Then he called Qian Yirong. Qian Yirong answered the phone and Xu Baiqing told her that she was about to set off to meet Mu Zexuan. Qian Yirong asked her to keep her phone open. Xu Baiqing put the phone in his inner pocket, then got up and prepared to go to the underground garage to meet Qian Chengshu.
Qian Chengshu couldn't wait any longer, so as soon as he received Xu Baiqing's message, he went straight to the underground garage. When he saw Xu Baiqing, he immediately turned on the lights in the car to remind Xu Baiqing of his location.
Xu Baiqing saw the car with its lights on and walked over, then opened the back door and got in. Qian Chengshu's face showed a momentary displeasure. It seemed as if Xu Baiqing was treating him as a driver, but for the sake of his own plan, Qian Chengshu suppressed his displeasure.
"Sister, although Mu Zexuan has a good impression of you, you still have to be careful that he may take advantage of you. You must know that we are the only close relatives connected by blood." Qian Chengshu talked to Xu Baiqing in the car and continued to pua her skillfully, wanting Xu Baiqing to only listen to him.
"I know, brother. Don't worry, I will pay attention." Xu Baiqing was disdainful in his heart, but in front of Qiancheng Shu, he acted moved by his words and acted very obedient.
Qian Chengshu looked at Xu Baiqing's dependence on him and nodded with satisfaction. In this way, even if he couldn't eavesdrop on the conversation between Mu Zexuan and Xu Baiqing, he could directly ask Xu Baiqing to get the information he wanted afterwards.
In order to let Xu Baiqing feel the care of his brother, Qian Chengshu kept expressing his concern and worry to Xu Baiqing on the way. Xu Baiqing almost rolled his eyes at him when he heard his superficial concern.
But in order to avoid arousing Qian Chengshu's suspicion, she had to agree with Qian Chengshu's words. Although the drive was only ten minutes, Xu Baiqing felt it was too long. Fortunately, they soon arrived at Qinghe Tea House.
"Sister, I'll wait for you here. If anything happens, you can always come to me." Qian Chengshu said as he watched Xu Baiqing get out of the car.
"Thank you, brother. I will be careful." Xu Baiqing replied impatiently and turned around and walked into the teahouse.
"Miss, we require reservations here. Do you have a reservation?" As Xu Baiqing entered Qinghe Tea House, she was stopped by a beautiful girl wearing a cheongsam. She asked politely.
"Yes, the person who invited me here is surnamed Mu." Xu Baiqing replied.
"Excuse me, Miss Xu, please follow me." The cheongsam girl said immediately after Xu Baiqing finished speaking.
Only then did Xu Baiqing realize that she was wearing an earphone on her ear. He thought that the conversation they had just had was transmitted inside. Mu Zexuan must have informed the teahouse in advance. Xu Baiqing followed the cheongsam girl into the teahouse, observing his surroundings calmly.
This teahouse is an antique building made of wood. You can smell a slight wood fragrance while walking inside. As Xu Baiqing walked into the teahouse, he saw several beautiful girls wearing cheongsams walking around. They must be the waiters of the teahouse.
"Ms. Xu, Mr. Mu is waiting for you in Yunshuijian." said the cheongsam girl.
Xu Baiqing looked at the box with the three characters "Yunshuijian" on the ancient plaque and nodded to the cheongsam girl. Then the cheongsam girl stepped forward and knocked on the door. She said softly, "Mr. Mu, Miss Xu is here."
The cheongsam girl was waiting for the person inside to respond before helping Xu Baiqing open the door and invite her in, but she didn't expect that the person inside was obviously in a hurry and actually walked forward and opened the door himself.
"Bai Qing." Mu Zexuan's eyes lit up when he saw Xu Baiqing and he greeted him.
Since that banquet, Mu Zexuan never had the chance to see Xu Baiqing again. Although he knew that there was something important to discuss today, he was still very happy to see Xu Baiqing.
"Zexuan, why are you so rude? Why don't you invite Miss Xu in?" An old voice came from the box, and Xu Baiqing's eyes moved slightly.
"Bai Qing, come in quickly." Mu Zexuan heard his grandfather's voice and realized that he had blocked Xu Baiqing at the door. He stepped aside embarrassedly and said.
Upon hearing this, Xu Baiqing walked into the Yunshui Room and saw Mr. Mu sitting at the tea table. Different from what he saw at the birthday party that day, this time Mr. Mu's aura was obviously much gentler.
"Mr. Mu, why are you here?" Xu Baiqing asked pretending to be confused.
"I, an old man, want to thank Miss Xu for helping Zexuan, but Miss Xu should be aware of the current situation of the Mu family, so I can only meet you in this way." Grandpa Mu explained good-temperedly.
"I just heard some news by chance. Classmate Mu helped me before when we were in school. Now that I know such news, of course I will find a way to inform Classmate Mu." Xu Baiqing acted very calmly.
This actually reduced Mr. Mu's suspicion of Xu Baiqing a little. Although the information revealed by Xu Baiqing has been confirmed to be true, Mr. Mu is still not sure what role Xu Baiqing played in this matter.
"Don't talk while standing, come and sit down." Mr. Mu greeted kindly.
Xu Baiqing obediently walked to the table and sat down. Mu Zexuan immediately sat next to her impatiently. Seeing Mu Zexuan's worthless look, Old Man Mu couldn't help but glared at him secretly.
"I, an old man, am quite good at making tea. If Miss Xu doesn't mind, please try it." Old Master Mu poured a cup of tea for Xu Baiqing.
"How can I trouble you, old man, to pour me tea?" Xu Baiqing didn't know what Mr. Mu was planning, so he looked a little panicked.
"Don't mind it, it's just a cup of tea. This is the best Biluochun. Try it first." Old Master Mu comforted Xu Baiqing.
Xu Baiqing picked up the tea, a little hesitant. One must be on guard against others. To be honest, in the current situation, Xu Baiqing was actually a little hesitant to drink the cup of tea poured by Grandpa Mu. Who knows if it is just simple tea or if there is something in it.
But since Mr. Mu had said so, it seemed a bit inappropriate for Xu Baiqing not to drink it. Under the gaze of the two people from the Mu family, Xu Baiqing could only pick up the tea and smell it.
Apart from the fragrant tea aroma, Xu Baiqing did not smell any other strange smells. Xu Baiqing was a little nervous, but when she thought of the call with Qian Yirong, Xu Baiqing felt relieved, but she only wet her lips lightly.
"I don't know much about tea, so I can't say anything about it." Xu Baiqing said as he put down the teacup.
"It doesn't matter. You'll understand it naturally as you get to know it more in the future." Mr. Mu was not unhappy about being disappointed, but comforted him in this way.
