Chapter 567: Chapter 568: One Step Behind in the Chess Game

Xia Ning looked at Qin Nuan with disdain and said very impolitely, "Are you sure he’s in a meeting? Couldn’t he have gone out to chat with some girls?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? He would never do that." Qin Nuan’s face turned beet red, her saliva flying in her urgency, "Xia Ning, how can you be so despicable with your words?"

"Despicable?" Xia Ning scoffed disdainfully, "Didn’t I tell you? Last night, my brother saw Yi Lixing at the bar, surrounded by beauties on both sides."

Qin Nuan’s face gradually lost its color, and her teeth left a row of clear marks on her lip. She bit her lip and finally said in a low voice, "He’s very busy, socializing for work. Isn’t it normal to go to bars?"

"Only fools like you would say that," Xia Ning’s aura completely dominated the conversation, and she said proudly, "Who says you have to go to bars for business socializing? Look at He Xing, he rarely goes to bars, and he is way better than Yi Lixing."

Qin Nuan had a look of furious rage in her eyes. The nails she had done the day before were stabbing into her palm like little knives, hurting terribly. But the words she uttered were much calmer than before, "Not everyone is He Xing, and not everyone can be as self-disciplined as he is. I think whatever messing around outside doesn’t matter, as long as you come home."

"He Xing is indeed the best man in the world." Xia Ning automatically ignored Qin Nuan’s latter words, because she felt what Qin Nuan said was too foolish. Just because a man fools around outside, that makes it okay when he comes home?

Xia Ning paused, feeling she should press her advantage, and said with schadenfreude, "Qin Nuan, I’d say you’re naive; after all, you had an abortion for Yi Lixing. Yet, he may look down on you for the affairs between your father and my brother. No, maybe it’s not just my father and brother. You could’ve had..."

"Xia Ning!" Qin Nuan couldn’t take it anymore and interrupted Xia Ning, facing her angry look. She suddenly remembered her primary purpose for today and coughed to soften her tone, "Xia Ning, I remember you had an assistant with the last name Qin, is that why you’re holding such a grudge against me?"

The change of topic caught Xia Ning off guard, and she was stunned for a moment before finally finding her words, "Why are you asking this? But... I do find you Qins very annoying, always seeking personal gains and stooping to any levels to achieve your goals."

Qin Nuan’s beautiful eyes flashed with anger, but it was quickly extinguished. She casually flicked her hair on both cheeks and said offhandedly, "What’s wrong? Did she like He Xing too, so you got angry and had her thrown in?"

"Like He Xing? As if she was worthy?" Xia Ning’s voice unconsciously rose several notches, her anger flaring, "That Qin Xiaonian had such bad taste, she liked Luo Qinghe. She even asked for my help to chase after Luo Qinghe, but alas, she was no match for Bai Wei."

Now, Xia Ning straightened her clothes, smiling especially triumphantly, "Of course, having been master and servant, I would help when I could, but she was so hopeless. I gave her the drugs, yet she still failed. What could I do?"

"Drugged?" Qin Nuan covered her mouth in feigned surprise, but the other hand resting on her knee pressed something secretly.

Even now, it remained one of Xia Ning’s proudest achievements. She wore a pleased smile, her talking box completely open, "Qin Xiaonian was so unattractive. How could she have a fling with Luo Qinghe without drugs? Stop pretending to be innocent in front of me. Don’t think I don’t know that your burning passion with my father was fueled by these drugs, right?"

Qin Nuan’s face flushed red, and she coughed awkwardly, "What did you do to Qin Xiaonian afterward? Was it because she was ungrateful?"

"You still have some brains." Xia Ning glanced sideways at Qin Nuan and said arrogantly, "That Qin Xiaonian thought she had leverage over me and even dared to threaten me. I simply used a little trick, and the matter was dealt with. Now she has to spend a few more years inside."

"What trick did you use?" Qin Nuan leaned forward slightly, her nostrils flaring, her face showing a hint of nervousness.

Xia Ning, however, was watching the music video on the cafe’s jukebox. She didn’t see Qin Nuan’s unusual expression and said casually, "You’ve been with my father for so long and you don’t know these tricks? Ha..."

Before she could finish, Qin Nuan’s phone rang, successfully interrupting Xia Ning’s sentence.

Qin Nuan felt an intense irritation, but rather than show any odd expression, she quickly pulled out her phone. When she saw the caller ID on the screen, Qin Nuan’s heart began to race.

Her hand shook as she answered the phone, but she forced herself to pick up, "Hello..."

Xia Ning inadvertently saw the caller ID on Qin Nuan’s phone was Yi Lixing. She knew this call must be related to the matter she cared about most. She clenched her fist, her palms starting to sweat.

Two minutes later, Qin Nuan ended the call with a heavy expression, looking at Xia Ning. Her lips parted slightly, and she uttered three simple words, "It failed."

Xia Ning’s face immediately shifted, her beautiful visage contorting grotesquely, her expression vicious as she glared at Qin Nuan, wishing she could tear her to pieces, "Didn’t you say your man had been trailing for days, that their office building was unoccupied today? Didn’t you say it was a sure success? Are you lying to me?"

"Do you think I’m happy about the failure?" Qin Nuan retorted, though her tone was subdued and unconvincing, "Of course I wanted it to succeed in one go, but I didn’t expect that man to be distracted by Fu Han’s beauty, delaying him until the security guard showed up."

Xia Ning was so angry her nose seemed crooked. She looked at Qin Nuan with gritted teeth, "Look at what a mess you’ve made of things! I’m telling you, either get rid of Fu Han for me or give me my money back. I’m not in the mood to hear your griping."

The warm light of the cafe shone on Xia Ning’s face, making her look particularly terrifying. Not ugly, but rather like a hellish demon looking up, exposed to the sunlight.

How could she not be angry? She had given all her money to Qin Nuan, and now Qin Nuan had not yet disposed of Fu Han after taking her money. Anyone would be furious in her place.

Qin Nuan’s complexion was also unsightly. She looked at Xia Ning with a gloomy face, giving her a single glance that somehow made Xia Ning swallow the words she was about to say.
