Chapter 234 Poor Boy

Chapter 234: Chapter 234 Poor Boy

Qiao Yi, envied, jealous, and resented by all women, wasn’t as happy as they thought at the moment, sitting in Qiao Xin’s private apartment. It was hard for Qiao Yi to imagine that Qiao Xin, who always liked to show off and indulge in luxury, would live in such a place.

It’s not to say that the private apartment is bad in any way, although this set of apartments is unattainable for many families in their lifetime.

But compared to Qiao Yi’s previous life, living here is no different from living in a dog kennel.

"Qiao Xin, you..."

"Speak up, what do you want from me!"

Perhaps perceiving Qiao Yi’s thoughts, Qiao Xin’s expression was very impatient, even showing a hint of wanting to send her away.

No, Qiao Xin really wanted her to leave, and not just because she showed her downfall in front of Qiao Yi, but also for some other reasons.

Qiao Yi had no interest in whether Qiao Xin was in a plight or not. Life is what you make of it, and Qiao Xin could’ve lived better on her own. It’s her own fault for ending up in this situation today, and she can’t blame anyone else.

"If that’s the case, then I’ll get straight to the point."

"Wang Li, your personal driver, quit five days ago to work as a set hand for a variety show crew. After the official shooting of the show started, I fell from a wire that he had tampered with."

When speaking and doing things, one values having solid evidence. Qiao Yi methodically placed the evidence that she had prepared in front of Qiao Xin on the coffee table and made a gracious gesture indicating ’please take a look’.

"Don’t you think you should give me an explanation?"

The evidence on the table was more than enough, and with it, if Qiao Yi wished, Wang Li’s sentence wouldn’t be much better than Lin Ke’s, and of course, Qiao Xin wouldn’t escape punishment either.

Of course, the right to pursue the matter was in Qiao Yi’s hands, so she leaned lazily on the sofa, assuming a lordly demeanor as she watched Qiao Xin.

Qiao Yi was ready for a verbal battle with Qiao Xin, having prepared for all kinds of rebuttals, but she never expected Qiao Xin to actually admit it!

She actually admitted it!

"Yes, I was the one who had it done, but you think these pieces of evidence are enough to convict me? Aren’t you being too naive?"

"You..."

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Before Qiao Yi could finish her words, there was a knock at the door of the apartment.

Qiao Xin’s face changed slightly but she didn’t go to open the door. Instead, Qiao Yi looked curiously towards the door, wondering who would come to visit Qiao Xin.

"Don’t you need to open the door?"

Qiao Yi stood up. The more Qiao Xin didn’t want to open the door, the more curious Qiao Yi became about who was outside. As Qiao Yi was about to reach the door, the person outside suddenly came in.

Both Qiao Xin and Qiao Yi’s four eyes were fixed on the person who entered, and with just one glance, Qiao Yi smiled. It really was someone she knew, Lu Chen!

"How do you have the keys to my place!"

Qiao Xin couldn’t believe it, her eyes also flashed with complex emotions, while Qiao Yi quietly stepped back two steps, ready to enjoy the drama.

She originally thought that following Qiao Xin’s character, she would have cut off contact with this Lu Chen after leaving the hospital. She didn’t expect that he would actually have the keys to the apartment!

What does this mean? This means that Qiao Xin doesn’t completely lack feelings for Lu Chen! Otherwise, given Qiao Xin’s character, she would have gotten rid of Lu Chen long ago by cementing his fate, not allowing him to come to her home freely!

Upon hearing Qiao Xin’s question, Lu Chen seemed a bit guilty and somewhat aggrieved.

"That day, you gave them to me that day..."

Without waiting for Lu Chen’s explanation, Qiao Xin remembered which day it was, the day she drowned her sorrows in alcohol!

"So, if I give it to you, are you just going to take it? Give me back the keys now!"

Xinxin said as she quickly walked over to take the keys from Lu Chen’s hand, but he swiftly stepped back two steps, hiding the keys behind him.

"You said I could come over whenever I miss you, you can’t go back on your word!"

Lu Chen showed a rare moment of stubbornness in front of Xinxin, though the reason was somewhat trivial.

What a spectacle, Qiao Yi had never seen such an expression on Qiao Xin’s face before—helplessness mixed with a touch of embarrassment, eventually giving way to a slight self-deceiving indulgence.

This was Qiao Yi’s first official meeting with Lu Chen. Though they had met twice in the hospital before, Qiao Yi was always in a hurry and never really had the chance to properly observe the young man.

Looking now, it seemed Qiao Xin’s judgment wasn’t wrong, and her luck wasn’t bad either; although Lu Chen wasn’t the type to astonish at first sight, he grew on you.

Especially when he smiled, there was a light in his eyes!

Qiao Yi, internally remarking on Qiao Xin’s dumb luck, watched with relish as the man and woman before her tangled with each other.

Sigh! Hey, hey, hey! There’s a spectator here!

If you want to fight over the keys, just fight for them. If you want to cuddle and lift each other, then go to the bedroom for that, who are you performing for here?

Qiao Yi deliberately made a noise with her foot, and the two who were just entwined over the keys immediately sprang apart like electrocuted.

"So, could you possibly continue after I leave?"

Please have some respect for the onlooker, thank you!

Seeing they didn’t seem to plan on hugging each other anymore, Qiao Yi rubbed her feet and sat back down on the couch.

Lu Chen’s gaze followed Qiao Yi, as if reminiscing about something.

"Have... have we met before?"

Of course, we’ve met several times in the hospital, but the outfits then and now were quite different, so it’s normal not to recognize.

Suddenly, enlightenment struck Lu Chen, and he pointed at Qiao Yi.

"You’re the doctor who came to examine Xinxin, right! Why are you at our place? Is there something wrong with Xinxin’s health again?"

That momentary look in his eyes stirred up jealousy in Qiao Xin’s heart, and unable to restrain herself, she snatched the keys from Lu Chen’s hand.

"Don’t come over again in the future!"

"Xinxin! What’s wrong with you? Xinxin, don’t drive me away!"

Lu Chen was pushed out by Qiao Xin with a mixture of shoving and wrangling, and with a slam, the door was forcefully shut in front of him.

Qiao Xin’s chest heaved with emotion, and it took a while for her to calm her feelings before returning to the living room to sit down face to face with Qiao Yi.

"It’s my doing, so tell me, what exactly do you want?"

"What can I do? But I’m quite curious, what exactly is your relationship with this handsome young man?"

Hearing Qiao Yi mention Lu Chen made Qiao Xin’s heart tighten. Lu Chen was just an ordinary guy, and a simple trick from their world could lead him into irreparable disaster!

Qiao Xin tried to remain calm, making herself appear as usual.

"He’s just a poor boy who thinks he owes me a favor and wants to repay it. Why, little sister, are you interested in him?"

"Yeah, it’s rare to see a handsome boy who also has such a clean essence. I wonder if sister would be willing to let him go for me?"
