Chapter 332: Chapter 332: Getting Rid of Trouble_1

When Xia Qingtian spoke, she emitted a powerful aura.

Xu Qing was instantly frightened and retreated two steps. When she realized that she, a rich heir, was scared by a poor agent, her face turned even uglier.

A malicious glint flashed in her eyes. She sneered, "If Xia Qingtian refuses a toast, only to be forced to drink a forfeit, and then dares to hit me, be prepared to pay the price. I swear on my last name that I won’t rest until you’re done for today."

After saying this, she jumped into the nearby swimming pool before Xia Qingtian could react.

Water splashed from the swimming pool, drenching Xia Qingtian.

Xia Qingtian instantly frowned.

"Help! I, I can’t swim..." After Xu Qing jumped into the swimming pool, she began flailing and shouting for help.

The commotion quickly attracted people’s attention.

Those who could swim immediately jumped into the pool and pulled Xu Qing out of the water.

As soon as she reached the poolside, Xu Qing pointed at Xia Qingtian with an innocent yet pitiful tone, "She pushed me into the pool. She tried to drown me!!!"

Then Xia Qingtian was helplessly pulled to the poolside with an exasperated look on her face.

With so much excitement at the charity ball, the organizer, who had a great influence both in official and unofficial circles, Mr. Huo, was quickly summoned to the scene.

Mr. Huo was handsome and always has a friendly smile on his face. Yet nobody dared to underestimate him.

As soon as he appeared, everyone gave him a wide berth.

"Who dares to cause trouble in my domain?" Mr. Huo, fumbling with the Buddha Beads on his wrist, asked.

"Mr. Huo, the troublemaker is her!" Xu Qing, knowing that Mr. Huo was not someone to offend, quickly shifted the blame to Xia Qingtian, hoping this would get him to teach her a lesson.

With that thought, she played the victim first, exaggerating that Xia Qingtian slapped her after offending her, and wasn’t satisfied, hence ended up pushing her into the pool to attempt to drown her.

After hearing this, Mr. Huo remained smiling, not revealing his thoughts.

He turned to Xia Qingtian, "Do you have anything to say?"

"I have a few questions for Miss Xu." Xia Qingtian, unfazed and dignified, replied.

After getting Mr. Huo’s permission, she looked at Xu Qing, "Oh, before today, we only met once and didn’t even have a conversation. We have no grievances, why would I hit you, or push you into the pool?"

Xu Qing didn’t expect her to respond this way and was momentarily flustered.

However, she quickly thought of an excuse, "Your artist stole a role that I liked. You found out about it and wanted to use the role to extort me for money. When I refused, you became very angry."

After speaking, she thought about it and felt like her excuse was foolproof. She regained some confidence, "Is my explanation clear enough? Do you have anything else to say?"

"Do you really think I cannot provide evidence that you have wronged me?" Xia Qingtian looked at her smug face and replied disdainfully.

"If you have evidence, then show it." Xu Qing was not afraid in the slightest.

She had observed Xia Qingtian and only approached her when she entered an area without surveillance camera coverage. Therefore, she wasn’t afraid of being caught on camera.

Currently, Xia Qingtian was still on a call with Bo Jingyan.

Originally, Bo Jingyan wanted to cancel work to accompany her, but she declined, as she did not want others to know she was Mrs. Bo.

He had called her while she was taking a breather outside and she picked up the call.

Going by Bo Jingyan’s calculative character, he would definitely have kept some evidence for her.

Thinking about this, Xia Qingtian was about to ask him through the Bluetooth earpiece to send over the evidence when...

"Since you want evidence, let me provide it for you." A clear female voice rang out.

Xia Qingtian turned her head and found out the person speaking was-

Shi Qian!

She calmly strolled over, "I came out for a breath of fresh air and found that tonight’s night view was beautiful. I wanted to take a picture to share with friends. I didn’t expect to accidentally capture how Miss Xu likes to cry thief."

With that, she played the video she had just recorded.

The video clearly showed Xu Qing provoking Xia Qingtian and Xia Qingtian merely retaliated.

It also showed that Xu Qing was the one who voluntarily jumped into the pool, and it had nothing to do with Xia Qingtian.

Xu Qing’s face immediately turned pale.

She didn’t expect her luck to be so bad. She had deliberately avoided the surveillance cameras, but still ended up being recorded by others.

After understanding the whole situation, Mr. Huo, still smiling, ordered his men to take Xu Qing away without stating how she would be dealt with.

After handling this issue, he reassured the onlookers and left.

But before leaving, his gazelle eyes lingered on Xia Qingtian and seemed to hold some deeper meaning.

Soon, everyone dispersed, leaving only Shi Qian and Xia Qingtian standing where they were.

Even if Shi Qian hadn’t stepped forward, Xia Qingtian could have handled it herself.

But since Shi Qian did step in and help her, she couldn’t ignore it.

"Miss Shi..." She just began speaking to Shi Qian, but was interrupted.

"Qingtian, don’t call me Miss Shi, it sounds strange. If you don’t mind, like Mrs. Bo, call me Qianqian."

"Okay..." Xia Qingtian readily agreed, asking, "By the way, weren’t you in the banquet hall earlier? How did you suddenly come out?"

And happened to see the dispute between her and Xu Qing, and happened to record it on her phone.

Was it merely a coincidence?

Shi Qian pointed to a not too distant spot, "I came out with Mrs. Bo."

Xia Qingtian looked in the direction she pointed and indeed saw the elegant and noble Mrs. Bo in her wine red gown.

Mrs. Bo noticed her gaze, frowned instantly, and looked away.

Xia Qingtian sighed helplessly.

It seems that until Bo Jingyan finds evidence that can convince Mrs. Bo and prove An’an is a member of the Bo family, she won’t be able to see a friendly face.

Shi Qian noticed her gloom, leaned in and whispered, "Don’t be sad, Qingtian. Mrs. Bo might have a tough exterior, but she’s really soft-hearted."

"While Mrs. Bo didn’t say it explicitly, she brought me out because she noticed your features darken. Worried, she made an excuse about needing fresh air. In fact, she simply wanted to check on you."
