Chapter 691: Chapter 691 An Ting is Your Woman_1

An Ting simply couldn’t believe that Qiu Jian, who usually doted on her and listened to everything she said, could treat her like this. She looked at Qiu Jian with disbelief, her face sporting the pitiful expression she had always taken pride in, the one that would immediately disarm Qiu Jian. However, An Ting had forgotten that she was now disfigured, and instead of looking pitiful, her appearance could give someone nightmares.

Sure enough, when Qiu Jian and the others saw An Ting’s face, they all instinctively turned their heads away.

Xia Yujie saw how things were unfolding and felt it was time for him to step in. However, before doing so, he sought Situ Xin’s opinion with a glance. Situ Xin responded with a look that meant he should handle it himself.

Just as Xia Yujie received Situ Xin’s approval to speak, a phone’s ringtone sounded in the private room.

The ringtone made Situ Che, Loo Jie, and Xia Yujie instinctively look at Situ Xin; after all, the ringtone was unique to her, recorded specifically by her, and it was one of a kind in the world. Speaking of phones, it’s worth mentioning this particularly.

The phone Situ Xin was using was not one given to her by Xia Yujie and the others, nor one that could be bought in the market. This phone was made by Situ Xin using the laboratory in her space along with some special materials from there.

Not only her own, but the phones used by the higher-ups of the Situ Family, the Loo Family, The Dark Division, and the Dragon Society were all made by Situ Xin’s hand.

The phones Situ Xin created had functions comparable to those of a famous brand fruit phone of the future, and moreover, she had added special features tailored to everyone’s different professions and needs, such as satellite positioning.

So, when this special ringtone sounded, the people who knew Situ Xin turned their gaze upon her. Situ Xin pulled her phone out of her pocket, and on the large display screen, Xiao Muli’s name showed up.

Situ Xin found it odd—why would Xiao Muli be calling her at this hour? Before coming to Broadway, they had spoken on the phone, when Xiao Muli was in the middle of a family meeting at the Xiao Family.

Situ Xin answered the phone, "Hello?"

"Baby, where are you?" As soon as Situ Xin said hello, Xiao Muli on the other end of the line couldn’t wait to ask.

"Didn’t I tell you before? I’m at Broadway." Situ Xin found it odd—what was up with Xiao Muli today, asking such a foolish question?

"Oh, I forgot with all the busyness. But why haven’t you gone back yet? Has something happened?" Xiao Muli still remembered why Situ Xin had gone to Broadway.

"Yes, something did come up, and I’m dealing with it right now." Having dealt with him for so many years, Situ Xin couldn’t explain to Xiao Muli exactly what had happened.

"Oh, alright, I won’t disturb you then." Xiao Muli hung up the phone quickly and efficiently. Situ Xin, with the disconnected call in her hand, was puzzled—why was Xiao Muli acting so out of character today?

But before she could figure it out, Situ Che asked, "Baby, who was that on the phone?"

"Oh, it was Brother Muli," Situ Xin replied casually. The mere mention of Xiao Muli triggered discontent in the hearts of both Situ Che and Loo Jie, who felt that over these past years, this kid had silently whisked their precious little sister away right under their noses.

"Really?" Situ Che said indifferently, not pressing further. Although he and Loo Jie showed nothing outwardly, they were both thinking that they needed to find an opportunity to give Xiao Muli a severe lesson.

"Ah Jie, please continue," Situ Xin, seeing that her Brother Che didn’t want to dwell on the topic, turned her head and prompted Xia Yujie to proceed with handling the situation.

"Of course, Miss," Xia Yujie said, having received Situ Xin’s instruction. Addressing Qiu Jian, he asked, "Qiu Jian, is this An Ting your woman?" "Yes, boss," Qiu Jian replied, his back soaked with cold sweat while facing the boss who was obviously about to settle accounts with him.

"So it was you who introduced her to Broadway, gave her privileges, and allowed her to run rampant and even strut around arrogantly, ignoring the rules and regulations set by the young miss?" Xia Yujie’s interrogation increased Qiu Jian’s sweat.

"Boss, yes, I introduced her to work at Broadway. But I didn’t give her any privileges, and I didn’t know about the things she did at Broadway," Qiu Jian hastily explained, feeling the pressure of Xia Yujie’s words weighing on him.

"Then how could she use your name to act so high and mighty at Broadway?" Xia Yujie’s piercing gaze bore into Qiu Jian.
