Chapter 22 Xin Xin
Luo Huayi was almost laughing in exasperation at her own thoughts going against her own.
Finally, he stared at the dark ceiling with his eyes open until the sky began to lighten.
......
Xin Que was completely unaware of Luo Huayi's internal struggle.
She slept well.
Whether it was because she and Luo Huayi had barely managed to complete the second part of the storyline, the plot hints had stopped bothering her.
......
After getting up and washing up, Xin Que kept thinking about how to make money next.
Ever since the fates of those families were rewritten, she has been constantly worried about money.
It's not that she can't go to work normally, but Xin Que wants to test the operating rules of this small world. Given her mischievous style, going to work to earn money is just too slow.
A few thousand yuan a month simply can't support her plans to meet with several important figures all the time.
These days, even used cars cost 2,500.
Let her start her own business and contribute to the economy...
Xin Que felt that she was better at being someone's black glove.
...
Cheng Zheng never expected to see the woman who had offended his boss at the coffee shop.
"Iced Americano, please." Cheng Zheng had just brought up the payment code when his eyes met those of the woman behind the counter.
Xin Que showed no emotional fluctuations.
She chose this coffee shop near the business district in the hope of finding a new customer.
It's time to place the order.
Cheng Zheng only realized he had been daydreaming after receiving the full plastic cups from Xin Que.
He picked up his coffee and lost all interest in taking a lunch break.
I went straight to the company building.
"Our business goals for the next quarter..." Luo Huayi was listening to the head of the business department give a quarterly report.
Everything was perfect.
He wants to detach himself from Xin Que, the strategist, and escape those melodramatic storylines. He's determined to make a name for himself in his own field, achieving great success and soaring to new heights...
"Mr. Luo."
Cheng Zheng knocked on the door politely.
Luo Huayi snapped out of her reverie about her business empire.
Seeing that Cheng Zheng seemed to have something to say, the head of the business department wisely took his leave.
"What's wrong?" Luo Huayi asked.
Cheng Zheng's expression was serious. "I saw Xin at a coffee shop near the company..."
Luo Huayi was hit on a key word, and she slammed her hand on the table and stood up, interrupting Cheng Zheng's speech, "Don't mention it, don't care, don't look at it, don't pay attention! Let her do whatever she wants, as long as she doesn't get involved with me, everything is fine."
Cheng Zheng was taken aback by Luo Huayi's strong reaction.
Luo Huayi then belatedly realized that she might have overreacted.
"President Luo," Cheng Zheng subconsciously took a step back, forcing himself to speak, "I just wanted to ask... could her presence near the company be intended to harm you?"
For example, using the incident of him forcibly kissing you back then to create hype and gain fame.
Luo Huayi had calmed down. "Which coffee shop?"
He was about to lift his leg and walk towards the door when he suddenly remembered that his purpose was to completely sever ties with Xin Que and the plot, so he withdrew his leg.
"Go and find a way to drive her away from this area."
Cheng Zheng returned to the coffee shop with his boss's instructions.
"Miss Xin," Cheng Zheng frowned as he looked at Xin Que washing a shaker, and called out to her, "Would it be convenient for us to come out and talk?"
Xin Que finally sat down opposite Cheng Zheng.
“My request may sound unreasonable, but you really can’t stay here any longer…”
Cheng Zheng tried his best to appear as gentle as possible.
"Just tell me, how much money are you paying?" Xin Que got straight to the point.
Cheng Zheng: "???"
Xin Que said matter-of-factly, "The fact that you came back means your boss works in this area, right?"
"I'm doing a good job here, keeping to myself and not interfering with you, and you want to kick me out for no reason? Don't you have to give me compensation?"
Seeing that Xin Que had gone straight to the point, Cheng Zheng stopped being polite and said, "Two hundred thousand."
Xin Que clasped her hands together and smiled, "I genuinely love this job."
Cheng Zheng: "Three hundred thousand."
Xin Que tapped the table with her fingertip. "Five hundred thousand, no bargaining."
Cheng Zheng “…”
Luo Huayi approved the payment very quickly, as if she didn't want to haggle with Xin Que at all.
As soon as the money arrived in her account, Xin Que took off her apron and immediately resigned.
Luo Huayi breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving Cheng Zheng's reply that everything was going smoothly.
......
Xin Que returned the shared electric scooter and bought herself a used car.
Just as Xin Que filled up his gas tank and was about to head to the other side of the city to continue exploring its boundaries, he was cornered downstairs by a strange woman.
"Sister." The woman's soft, fluffy long hair swayed slightly in the wind, and her appearance and voice were very sweet. "Why didn't you tell the family you were moving?"
Xin Que frowned and dug out the woman's information from the plot.
The original owner's stepsister.
"Sister, it's too dangerous for you to live outside by yourself. Why don't you move back?" Xin Xin asked with concern, her voice soft and gentle, as if she genuinely cared about Xin Que.
Xin Que didn't say anything, but just looked Xin Xin up and down.
Xin Xin felt a chill run down her spine as Xin Que's dangerous gaze swept over her, like prey being targeted by a hunter.
What does she want to do to herself?
Xin Que's gaze lingered on Xin Xin for only a moment before sweeping around.
People come and go in the neighborhood, and many people's eyes are on them.
"Isn't that the second young lady of the Xin family?" Passersby looked at Xin Xin with surprise, whispering to their companions, "She calls that woman 'sister'..."
"Is she the eldest daughter of the Xin family who ran away from home and almost made her parents sick?"
Xin Que quickly rejected the idea of making a move here.
Xin Xin's identity is too conspicuous.
I can't stay here any longer...
“Dad has been mentioning my sister a lot lately,” Xin Xin said, extending her hand to Xin Que. “Shall we go home?”
"The maid has already prepared the dishes that my sister likes... Please stop being so temperamental, sister."
Xin Que pondered for a moment, then her gaze finally fell on the sports car behind her.
"Go back where? To the Xin family's house?"
Xin Xin was taken aback for a moment, then readily agreed, "Yes, Mom and Dad are waiting at home."
"We've been very worried because we haven't been able to get through to you on the phone for so long..."
Xin Que raised her hand to interrupt Xin Xin's feigned politeness, "How about I drive you?"
Xin Xin was interrupted by Xin Que's unexpected answer while casting her spell, and suddenly had no idea what she was going to do.
“Sister,” Xin Xin’s smile faltered, “It’s not that I don’t trust your skills, this car was a birthday present from Dad, I’m very careful when I drive it myself…”
Xin Que's eyebrows immediately furrowed. "Just say it straight, will you let me drive or not?"
"If you won't let me drive, there's no need for you to play the good sister/good younger sister with me. Just go home yourself."
Xin Xin never expected Xin Que to take advantage of her kindness and act unreasonably.
She glanced around and saw that several passersby were pointing and whispering about Xin Que's arrogance, and some were even recording videos on their phones. Her eyes lit up and she immediately had an idea.
Xin Que snatched the car keys she was reluctant to part with, opened the car door, and shoved Xin Xin into the passenger seat.
Xin Xin was startled by Xin Que's sudden initiative, and her heart inexplicably felt a little flustered.
