Chapter 244: Chapter 244: I Advise You to Be Kind

The customer appreciation event carried on.

There were raffle draws and performances, guests eating and drinking, playing and laughing, with the atmosphere lively and enthusiastic.

Qiao Xiya had been waiting the whole time, from initial pride to gradually growing impatient. As time ticked away, she never saw what she wanted to see.

Her expression grew colder and colder. Qiao Xiya glared at the striking figure in the crowd, her fingers gripping tight.

"Ya, what’s going on?"

Beside her, Gu Yan asked in a low voice, "The event is almost over, isn’t the big scene you mentioned going to start?"

Hearing this, Qiao Xiya’s face sank completely.

She looked around, and when she saw Chen Fei nearby, she stood up, walked over, and said in a low voice, "Come with me."

Chen Fei pursed her red lips, glancing at Lin Qian not far off, seeing that Lin Qian was looking at her, and hurried over to her.

In the restroom, Qiao Xiya was washing her hands, waiting for Chen Fei to appear.

Footsteps from outside reached her ears, and Qiao Xiya turned her face grimly, wiped the water off her hands with a paper towel, and turned to face the newcomer.

"Chen..."

When she saw Lin Qian, the words Qiao Xiya was about to say got stuck in her throat.

Why was it her?

Qiao Xiya shut her mouth, glaring coldly at Lin Qian with a scoff.

Lin Qian, in her high heels, stood firm in front of Qiao Xiya.

"Qiao Xiya, are you waiting for Chen Fei? You don’t have to wait; she won’t be coming."

At these words, Qiao Xiya’s complexion changed, and she glared at Lin Qian without speaking.

Lin Qian’s lips curled, "Surprised? Qiao Xiya, Chen Fei has been on my side for a while. So, whatever you wanted her to do, I know all about it."

Tricked?

No wonder she had waited so long and had still not seen what she wanted to see.

That bitch Chen Fei, she actually dared to make a fool of her!

Sure enough, the lowly only deserve to consort with the lowly.

Qiao Xiya’s face shifted from one hue to the next, furiously glaring at Lin Qian.

Lin Qian watched Qiao Xiya’s changing expressions, and her smile also faded.

"Qiao Xiya, is playing dirty tricks all you can do? Where did Tong offend you for you to go to great lengths to dig up those photographs and ruin her future?"

Hearing this, Qiao Xiya let out a cold laugh, "Never offended me? Lin Qian, for your sake, Fang Tong first made false accusations against me in front of Moran, almost causing me to lose out on a role in a Republican-era drama. Then, she had someone pretend to be a decorator to scare me, almost giving me a heart attack. Lin Qian, do you think I’m so easy to bully? Don’t I have the right to show you some consequences?"

Her words made Lin Qian slightly frown.

"Qiao Xiya, there’s a cause for every effect. Tong acted only because she felt aggrieved for me. If you have an issue, come at me, not her."

"Oh, sisterly love runs deep!"

Qiao Xiya sneered coldly, "Lin Qian, who do you think you are? I, Qiao Xiya, will bother whoever I please, and it’s none of your business."

Hearing this, Lin Qian’s pretty face stiffened, "Qiao Xiya, I’ll say it again, Tong is my friend. You better not mess with her again, or I will not let it go. After all, finding dirt on someone two-faced like you isn’t difficult, is it? If you dare do anything to my friends and child again, just try me!"

Friends and children were her bottom line.

She could tolerate some grievances herself, but others must not harm her loved ones and friends!

The woman’s eyes were steady, her voice carrying a hint of annoyance and deterrent force.

Qiao Xiya’s resentment surged, staring coldly at Lin Qian’s pretty face with a sarcastic laugh.

"Heh! Lin Qian, you really talk tough now, don’t you? Why is that? Do you think you’ve got Moran to back you up? Why don’t you try and see if Moran would disregard my well-being for you?"

Qiao Xiya paused, then stepped closer to Lin Qian, her lips curling into a smug smile.

"Lin Qian, you saw the morning news, right? I had a little trouble last night, and as soon as I cried about it, he couldn’t bear to see me upset and insisted on staying with me. I said I didn’t want to shoot that Republican-era drama, and without a second word, he helped me pull out of the deal. Lin Qian, I’ve been by his side for many years. Do you really think that your few months of being together could shake the position I hold in his heart?"

Her words boasted with pride, like a sharp blade stabbing directly at the heart.

Lin Qian’s fingers clenched tighter, feeling her breath halt for a moment.

She knew Qiao Xiya was deliberately provoking her, and she also knew she shouldn’t fall for it.

But her heart was irresistibly stung by her words, a dull pain.

The existence of this woman, Qiao Xiya, was truly like a fishbone stuck in her throat.

Lin Qian pursed her lips, "Qiao Xiya, I advise you to be kind. I know you’re Qiao Xixian’s sister and that’s why Moran has been especially caring toward you, in consideration of your sister. But remember, the remorse he feels for your sister will one day run dry. Use this favor sparingly, and be careful not to exhaust his good will. My words remain the same, please do not meddle with my child and my friends again. Otherwise, regardless of Moran’s attitude towards you, I won’t let you off."

No matter how smug Qiao Xiya was, Lin Qian would give her the warning she deserved.

She hoped she would think it over!

After speaking, Lin Qian turned and left.

Qiao Xiya watched Lin Qian’s retreating figure with a twisted expression on her face.

Damn bitch, who does she think she is?

This so-called remorse running dry someday?

Impossible!

As long as she remains Qiao Xixian’s sister, Yin Moran will never abandon her!

"Ya, I heard everything! Lin Qian, that bitch, is getting more and more outrageous! Are we just going to let it go? Take her crap for nothing?"

Gu Yan had followed out of curiosity when Lin Qian had come over.

She had heard the entire conversation.

Lin Qian’s arrogance was indeed too overbearing now.

Hearing Gu Yan’s words, Qiao Xiya let out a cold laugh.

"How could I let it go just like that? She thinks that by turning Chen Fei against me, I have no more dirt on Fang Tong? Is she that stupid? Just wait, I’ll leak the dirt on Fang Tong to the media right away and let more people see what a shameless person Fang Tong once was."

She hadn’t intended to escalate the situation, but she couldn’t believe Lin Qian dared to play her?

Then why should she show any mercy?

She had to make them suffer!

Otherwise, Lin Qian might really think she was afraid of her!

Qiao Xiya sneered as she pulled out her phone to call Shen Bing, instructing her to send the videos stored on the computer to the major media outlets.

On the other end, Shen Bing hurriedly turned on her computer.

But...

"Qiao, the video footage related to Fang Tong is gone!"

Shen Bing’s surprised voice came through the phone.

Qiao Xiya’s face changed, "What do you mean, gone? How could it be gone?"

"It’s just gone!"

"Didn’t I tell you to upload it to the cloud? Isn’t it there either?"

"Gone, all gone."

Qiao Xiya’s face turned multiple shades, unable to contain her shout, "Who did this? Who the hell did this? Lin Qian, it must be Lin Qian doing this! That bitch, playing such underhanded tricks on me!"

Gu Yan, who was waiting to see a good show, saw Qiao Xiya’s twisted face and couldn’t help but swallow hard, "Ya, what... what happened?"

Qiao Xiya’s chest heaved violently.

After a long while, she finally calmed down.

Her gaze shifted toward Gu Yan, and her fiery red lips slowly curled into a cold smirk.

"Gu Yan, Fang Tong’s past is quite fascinating! Don’t you want to know?"

"Of course, I want to know!"

"If you want to, then I’ll give you a clue, and you can look it up yourself!"

"..."
