Chapter 1097: Chapter 1097: Ye Si Got Stolen (7)

“I hope you sever all ties with Xiaoqiao in the future. As for your affairs, I cannot intervene,” Shiqing said in a detached tone.

Hearing this, Hongxing’s face fell slightly, “Ye Qilan just had an incident, and you’re in a hurry to distance yourself from me?”

Was Shiqing also the sort of person who would kick someone while they were down? Had both she and Qilan misjudged him?

“It’s… My affair with Xiaoqiao, someone has got a hold on us…” Shiqing began but then trailed off.

Hongxing understood everything as soon as he said this.

So, Wen Beibei set Shiqing and Qiao Qiao up together that night to have something to hold over Shiqing.

From that point on, was the mastermind behind the scenes thinking of killing Qilan?

“As far as I know, Xiaobei has evidence, is she the one threatening you?” Hongxing asked coldly.

Shiqing did not confirm or deny it.

Hongxing became even more convinced of her guess—it was indeed Wen Beibei who threatened Shiqing not to meddle in her family matters.

Her initial intuition wasn’t wrong; Wen Beibei’s ultimate target was her and Qilan. Did Wen Beibei already know someone was out to kill Qilan?

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t help me, but Xiaoqiao and I have been friends for many years. The bond between us can’t be obstructed by you, Shiqing. Besides, are you in any position to meddle with Xiaoqiao’s life?!”

Hongxing dropped her final words and then left Shiqing’s office.

When Qiao Qiao saw her come out, she hurriedly went up to greet her, but upon seeing Hongxing’s dark expression, the question Qiao Qiao meant to ask got stuck in her throat.

Hongxing offered Qiao Qiao an assuring smile, “I’m fine, let’s go.”

At that moment, Wen Beibei happened to walk past with a swaying gait. Upon seeing Hongxing, her face turned pale, and she turned to leave.

“Why do you turn away when you see me? Am I that scary?!” Hongxing called out.

Wen Beibei stopped in her tracks, and at that moment Hongxing caught up behind her, “You knew in advance that Qilan was in danger, and the person you wanted to target was me and Qilan. And yet, you could still pretend to be friends with me, Wen Beibei, your hypocrisy is revolting!”

“Wen, I…” When Wen Beibei saw the sharp look in Hongxing’s eyes, all her words got stuck in her throat.

She was indeed involved in this matter; she had known in advance about the troubles Qilan would face—it was an indisputable fact; she had been the one to set Shiqing and Qiao Qiao up together.

“But actually, I’m not the least bit sad. Because I realized long ago that you were up to no good,” Hongxing said with a cold smile.

She knew, in her past life, it was Wen Beibei’s trap that aimed to put her in Beichuan’s bed.

Her past life’s tragedy began right after that incident, when Qilan suddenly divorced her.

This time around, following Wen Beibei’s reemergence, Qilan was killed. This woman was one of the key players in Qilan’s death.

The difference was, in her past life, Wen Beibei intended to put her in Beichuan’s bed. In this life, Wen Beibei probably knew Beichuan had lost interest in her, so she turned her attention to Qiao Qiao and Shiqing.

In the end, the leverage over Qiao Qiao and Shiqing fell into Wen Beibei’s hands.

She just couldn’t understand, was she really that powerful? They all said Qilan was dead, and since Qilan was dead, what big things could a woman like her do? Could she really turn Taicheng upside down?

“I owe you an apology; there’s nothing I can say,” Wen Beibei replied in a muted tone, avoiding Hongxing’s gaze.
