Chapter 297: Chapter 297: This is Considered a Wreck, Right?

"Everything is going smoothly, Miss Qiao, don’t worry!"

Early in the morning, I didn’t know where Ning Yuze was, but it was noisy over the phone until Ning Yuze yelled a few times and it quieted down.

"That’s good. Just keep your moves subtle, don’t let Qiao Qiao find out."

Qiao Yi wasn’t really afraid of Qiao Qiao finding out; she was worried that once the foolish boy caught on, he’d go interrogating Lin Xiao.

If they were to startle the snake by beating the grass, Lin Xiao would surely know someone was plotting against her. Given Lin Xiao’s character, she would use every trick in the book to cover things up.

By then, Lin Xiao would play the victim and manipulate, and instead of getting angry, Qiao Qiao would be wrapped around her finger again.

If that happens, all of Qiao Yi’s schemes of late would be in vain.

"Miss Qiao, rest assured, I know how to handle this!"

Ning Yuze shouted excitedly. Qiao Yi saw that his mind wasn’t really on it, so she gave him a couple more instructions before hanging up.

Having just heard the music from Ning Yuze’s side made Qiao Yi see things in a new light.

If this plan didn’t work out, there would be another chance.

Lin Xiao’s nature was like that, having never been around Qiao Qiao for long, she’d managed to hide many things in the past.

But now, for various reasons, Lin Xiao had to interact with Qiao Qiao more and more. Over time, Lin Xiao was bound to slip up.

Anyway, Qiao Yi would not allow such a woman to marry into the Qiao Family; let Qiao Qiao have a fling with her just for the experience.

Although Qiao Yi had made peace with it, seeing Lin Xiao constantly run to the Qiao Family and entangling with Qiao Qiao daily, Qiao Yi always found it irritating.

If that were all, Qiao Yi could have avoided it—out of sight, out of mind. But no matter how much she dodged, Lin Xiao would always find a way to intrude.

"Yiyi, the dress you’re wearing today is so pretty!"

"Yiyi, your eyeliner looks amazing; could you teach me how to do it?"

"Yiyi..."

Now the sound of "Yiyi" made Qiao Yi’s head spin!

She always tried to avoid Lin Xiao, but every time Lin Xiao came to see her, she brought Qiao Qiao with her. Facing Qiao Qiao’s eyes full of hope and pleading, Qiao Yi simply couldn’t bring herself to let him be disappointed.

After being tormented for more than ten days, Qiao Yi couldn’t take it anymore and bravely went to Lu Group to find Lu Yanchuan.

"Do you think Lin Xiao is sick or something?"

Qiao Yi ranted to Lu Yanchuan about Lin Xiao’s recent behavior. She was so annoyed she felt like she was about to implode. If she hadn’t escaped to Lu Yanchuan’s place today, who knows what excuse Lin Xiao would have found to bother her.

"What does Lin Xiao want with me anyway? She should be sucking up to Qiao Qiao, not coming to bother me!"

Qiao Yi grew angrier as she spoke, gesticulating and scolding the air as if Lin Xiao was right in front of her.

Lu Yanchuan watched Qiao Yi vent with a grin and only pulled her to sit down on the sofa after she had tired herself out.

"If you don’t like her, just avoid her. You can come here..."

"Stop right there! I’m trying to have a serious conversation with you, and you start with this again! Didn’t we agree I’d think about it?"

Qiao Yi pouted and pinched Lu Yanchuan’s shoulder before leaning on it and closing her eyes.

It’s not that she didn’t want to work at Lu Group; as an idle person, it wouldn’t make much difference where she worked.

Just now, Qiao Qiao can’t rest easy and leave the Qiao Family behind.

She has to wait until things are settled.

Qiao Yi and Lu Yanchuan didn’t go home for dinner but chose a romantic date at a restaurant recommended by Feng Siyu.

However, as soon as Qiao Yi entered the restaurant, her steps halted.

It’s just that the last person Qiao Yi wanted to see was right there in the restaurant.

Lin Xiao was chatting and laughing merrily with a man, blushing at something he said.

Anyone who didn’t know better might think they were intimate lovers.

Qiao Yi hesitated for a bit, then found a not-so-conspicuous spot and sat down with Lu Yanchuan.

Lin Xiao’s companion was a man Qiao Yi had seen twice before – he seemed to be a friend who often hung out with Ning Yuze.

She hadn’t expected Ning Yuze to act so quickly, and it looked like Lin Xiao was quite enjoying the process.

Under the lights, Lin Xiao was decked out in branded haute couture, her diamond necklace glittering around her neck, looking like a pampered and privileged young lady.

A faint sneer spread across Qiao Yi’s face. She was all too familiar with Lin Xiao’s outfit – after making a fuss at her place a few days ago, the next day Qiao Qiao had paid a hefty price to get Lin Xiao a similar outfit from Lu Xiaohua’s store.

If possible, Qiao Yi would rather not dine in the same restaurant as Lin Xiao, but to observe the interaction between Lin Xiao and the man, Qiao Yi decided to stay.

In no time, Qiao Yi felt her decision to stay was indeed the right one.

Just as Lin Xiao and the man were having a grand time, with the man cutting her steak in a very gentlemanly manner, a very beautiful young woman suddenly walked in from outside.

The woman looked around and immediately spotted the two people acting intimately.

"Meng Ruijia! You said you had nothing to do with this little wretch! Now I’ve caught you red-handed, let’s see how you’re going to argue your way out of this!"

The woman strode over, her sharp high heels astonishing Qiao Yi.

This girl was impressive – if she wore those shoes, she’d barely be able to walk, yet this girl wore them with a battle-ready attitude!

The man, Meng Ruijia, suddenly looked over, appearing quite guilty when he saw the woman.

"Yiyi, why are you here!"

"Why am I here? How dare you ask why I’m here! Should I not have come? Indeed, I shouldn’t have come, to disturb you and this little wretch being all lovey-dovey, right!"

The woman, small and delicate, had a voice that was anything but weak. She pointed at Lin Xiao and began to curse.

"You little wretch! I knew your unsolicited kindness came with ill intentions! Now that I’ve caught you in the act, you still won’t admit it! You two adulterers, it’s my fault for being blind and falling for such filth as you! Pah!"

The woman’s piercing voice drew the attention of everyone in the restaurant, and a group of so-called high-society members gathered around, gossiping about the quarreling trio like hens in a henhouse.

Qiao Yi was dumbfounded, giving Lu Yanchuan’s sleeve a tug and exchanging glances with him.

Today, she had stumbled upon such a drama; Lin Xiao must be in hot water now, right?

You can’t frequently walk by the river without getting your shoes wet!

Lin Xiao, who was always flirting around, never expected to fall flat on her face here.

Qiao Yi was enjoying the spectacle but suddenly a thought struck her!

Ning Yuze, that bastard, why did he find such a person! Now that this commotion has arisen, wouldn’t it mess up her plans!
