Chapter 296: Chapter 296 How is the progress?

Let’s not talk about what Mr. and Mrs. Bai felt upon receiving the news; when Qiao Yi asked about Bai Lingling, she learned that Bai Lingling had been confined by Lu Yanchuan, and she pretended to know nothing.

Although she had a kind side, it didn’t mean she was a naive saint!

Facing someone who wanted her life, Qiao Yi couldn’t just smile and forgive all past grievances!

She wasn’t a saint; she was a vengeful young lady, and not personally dealing with Bai Lingling was the last piece of gentleness she could muster.

It was better left to Lu Yanchuan; having Bai Lingling’s most beloved man take revenge on her for another woman!

That was the most painful punishment for Bai Lingling!

Qiao Yi didn’t inquire about Bai Lingling anymore, except that she later heard from others that Bai Lingling had gone mad.

Qiao Yi never told anyone about being kidnapped by Dirk; by the time she fully recovered and returned to work at Qiao Family, a week had already passed.

In just this short week, Qiao Yi noticed that Qiao Qiao and the unscrupulous Lin Xiao had been growing closer, and even his office bore traces of her.

Looking at the lipstick on Qiao Qiao’s office desk, which she didn’t know if it was intentionally left, Qiao Yi sighed softly.

Her foolish brother, probably doesn’t know yet that the goddess he believes is pure and untouchable in his heart has already snagged three or four wealthy lovers in just one week!

It is said that what you can’t have is the most precious, the desperate and distressed look on Qiao Qiao’s face as he pines for Lin Xiao proves this saying true.

"How come? Haven’t you confessed to your Xiaoxiao yet?"

"Not yet, I don’t even know if Xiaoxiao likes me, I, I don’t want to risk not even being able to be friends with her!"

Qiao Qiao’s face flushed red, his eyes nearly turning watery as he spoke the name ’Xiaoxiao,’ yet he still refused to confess!

It was unclear what tactics Lin Xiao used, but she had Qiao Qiao completely wrapped around her finger.

If she had these tactics, she wouldn’t need to always resort to non-violent non-cooperation every time she communicated with Qiao Qiao!

While Qiao Yi was talking with Qiao Qiao, his phone suddenly rang; Qiao Yi saw it, it was indeed a call from Lin Xiao.

Whatever was said on the phone, Qiao Qiao responded several times and then hurriedly rushed out.

Before leaving, he didn’t forget to snatch the lipstick from Qiao Yi’s hand!

It’s over, my little brother has grown up and is hard to keep in hold!

Filled with emotions, Qiao Yi returned to her office, only to hear someone seeking her out before she could even settle in.

"Miss Song? What brings you here today? Please, have a seat."

After their last encounter, Qiao Yi had taken a liking to this spirited young lady, although it seemed this young lady hid some secrets regarding Qiao Qiao, which piqued Qiao Yi’s curiosity.

Of course, Qiao Qiao was only her brother, even if he were her son, Qiao Qiao would still need his own private space, so Qiao Yi always just assisted from the sidelines and didn’t involve herself too much.

For instance, with this issue of Lin Xiao, she only played a supporting role, never confronting Lin Xiao directly in front of Qiao Qiao.

In the future, when Qiao Qiao discovers something on his own, Qiao Yi would reveal her plans; otherwise, Qiao Yi would never tell Qiao Qiao what she had done,

"Today, I came to talk to Miss Qiao about Qiao Qiao."

"Actually, I don’t want Qiao Qiao and Lin Xiao to be together because I, I have a good friend who really likes Qiao Qiao, and I want to set them up together!"

What situation? The girl herself doesn’t like Qiao Qiao, but wants to play matchmaker?

"You mean...?"

"Don’t get me wrong! I just hope that they can be together. If Qiao Qiao finds someone he likes, of course, I wouldn’t force anyone. But honestly, Lin Xiao really isn’t someone worth entrusting one’s life to, just in these few days since returning to the country, she, she has already!"

"I understand, but why are you telling me all this?"

Qiao Yi could understand Song Yiyue’s thoughts and now she also knew the urgent desire of Song Yiyue to break up Qiao Qiao and Lin Xiao.

But if she wants to split Qiao Qiao and Lin Xiao, why didn’t Song Yiyue give the evidence directly to Qiao Qiao, instead giving it to her?

"That’s because I haven’t seen Qiao Qiao for many years, and if I were to abruptly tell him this, he might not believe me. That’s why I am telling you, I just want to create an opportunity for my friend."

Song Yiyue said, seeming a bit embarrassed, her cheeks flushed, making her look quite irresistible.

"Cough cough, I understand, if there’s a chance, I’ll help you."

Judging from the girl’s personality, her friend probably wouldn’t be worse off, and surely couldn’t be worse than Lin Xiao!

As long as it’s not someone like Lin Xiao, Qiao Yi feels like she could accept any other girl.

Song Yiyue breathed a sigh of relief, scared that Qiao Yi might misunderstand something. Now that everything is clear, Song Yiyue herself felt much more relaxed.

"I’ve also sent some photos I took these past few days to your email, hoping they might be of some use."

Song Yiyue added another word before leaving, then cheerfully bounced away.

Unexpectedly, this girl’s tracking and sneak photography skills had improved quite a bit.

At least the photos sent this time were very clear, faces and actions of the male and female leads were completely visible.

Qiao Yi stored everything carefully as she waited for Qiao Qiao to discover the clues himself.

Only when doubts arise and those doubts are confirmed, will the shock be the greatest! The effect would be the best!

After staying in the office for a while, Qiao Yi went back home, but as she reached her doorstep, she saw Lin Xiao doing something outside her home.

"Miss Lin? What are you doing here?"

"Yiyi, you’re back! I was waiting for you to return!"

As soon as Lin Xiao saw Qiao Yi, she quickly came forward, her smile sweet and affectionate, as if they were very close friends.

Without revealing her feelings, Qiao Yi put some distance between them and opened the door to invite her in.

"Miss Lin didn’t give a heads up, I could have come home earlier to avoid having you wait outside."

Qiao Yi said this insincerely, but Lin Xiao seemed unfazed and continued the conversation cheerfully.

"If Yiyi says that, next time I come to Yiyi’s home, I’ll treat it like my own home, and then Yiyi can’t find me bothersome!"

Lin Xiao’s attitude puzzled Qiao Yi; instead of going after Qiao Qiao or other men, why come here and play sisterly games with her!

Unable to figure it out, Qiao Yi just dealt with Lin Xiao, and finally managed to send her away. Qiao Yi immediately called Ning Yuze.

"How has your progress been with Lin Xiao recently?"
