Chapter 828 - Who is It?
Chapter 828: Who is It?
There were three men in the room: Qian Ying, his boss, and a middle-aged man with a seemingly elegant appearance.
Although it was just a glimpse, Xia Xibei also recognized the man’s identity.
Then, she remained silent.
Sure enough, it was not that she was overthinking. This so-called Mr. Qiao was really Qiao Yanjue’s elder brother- Qiao Weiyue!
The Qiao brothers would often appear in the news back then, so Xia Xibei knew what they looked like.
Moreover, Qiao Weiyue had just been kicked out of the group by Qiao Yanjue, so she was even more impressed.
She just didn’t expect that Qiao Weiyue wouldn’t stay in the imperial capital, but come here instead!
Moreover, by the sound of it, it was him who was going to make a move on Mu Qiaona!
Xia Xibei couldn’t help but frown, trying to recall the situation back then.
In her previous life, after Mu Qiaona’s suicide, their company was also caught up in various disputes.
Then, her “benefactor” was revealed.
However, everyone was more concerned about her family drama, and with Mu Qiaona dead, there was no evidence to accuse these bigwigs, so their identities weren’t widely reported.
Besides, these bigwigs had the money to make things go away, and the matter soon faded away.
It could be said that Mu Qiaona was nothing more than their plaything.
Even Xia Xibei was not sure if this matter had anything to do with Qiao Weiyue.
Xia Xibei was not sure how it was in her previous life, but she was certain that there was a connection this time.
Xia Xibei stayed at the door for a while, listening to the voices inside, her expression cloudy and uncertain.
After Mu Qiaona entered, she met the two men’s scrutinizing eyes and couldn’t help but feel a little panicked.
Did she do something wrong?
Fortunately, they quickly collected their gazes and became amiable.
They didn’t say anything to Mu Qiaona, as if their scrutiny of her just now hadn’t occurred.
When Mu Qiaona came out from inside, her heart beat a little faster and she had an ominous feeling.
Soon it was time to leave work, and her phone rang.
Her brow furrowed.
She looked for a place to pick up the call, and soon her mother’s shrill voice rang out on the other end.
“Where’s this month’s money? Why haven’t you sent it yet?!”
“I- I won’t get my money until tomorrow…”
The voice on the other end sharply interrupted her, “I don’t care when you get the money! Hurry up and send it now! Your brother can’t even afford to go to school!”
Mu Qiaona couldn’t help but bite her lip.
How could her brother not have money for school? Wasn’t all the money in the family going to her brother?
She hadn’t graduated highschool yet, so what kind of money could she earn?
Still, her parents were always this tough, and she had no way to resist.
“I- I’ll send it tomorrow.”
The person on the other end cursed some more before hanging up the phone.
Mu Qiaona ended the call and leaned back against the wall with a tired, disheveled look.
This life was too depressing.
She didn’t have the courage to break off her relationship with her parents, thinking that if she tried hard enough, they would eventually see the good in her.
Now, however, it seemed that there was little hope.
She gave a bitter smile and stood up straight.
The next moment, the phone rang again.
It was Qian Ying calling.
“Are you done with work yet? I’ll be waiting for you outside.”
Qian Ying’s call revitalized her.
With her boyfriend around, she finally felt able to catch her breath.
Looking at Mu Qiaona, who had become youthful and beautiful after changing her clothes, Qian Ying’s eyes couldn’t help but twinkle.
“Where are you taking me?”
“To a good place. You’ll know when you arrive.”
Mu Qiaona didn’t ask more questions and took the water Qian Ying gave her and drank it.
When the car moved forward, she felt a little dizzy and slowly fell asleep.
When she woke up, the world had changed!
