Who are You?
However, Chu Jia did not let him go. She took the microphone and continued, “We heard Boss Li’s apology. However, if we encounter such a situation again in future, Boss Li, please don’t say things like ‘if the painting can’t be completely repaired, you’ll take the person away’. Our poor girl was really scared back then.”
Everyone suddenly understood. No wonder Boss Chu had such an aggressive aura today. It was Boss Li who had set his eyes on the young waitress. This was also a warning to those with bad intentions towards the club, so that they didn’t misbehave.
With tonight’s incident, Yayi Club first established its power in front of everyone and made clear that that the club’s employees would not engage in illegal activities. It also made those with bad intentions towards Yayi know how capable they were. Finally, it won the hearts of the people who worked here. It could be said that Yayi had killed four birds with one stone.
Qiao Jing stared at Qiao Yue and said in a low voice, “You’re thinking very far ahead.”
Qiao Yue turned to him and smiled. “Second brother, what did you just say? I didn’t hear you clearly.”
“Weren’t you the one who planned for the outcome today? I remember you specifically asked for the apology to be made during a club event.”
Qiao Jing’s tone was calm. He was a little surprised when he first thought of this. But as he recalled Qiao Yue’s past performance, he wasn’t surprised that Qiao Yue would do something like this. He even had a hunch that the club was owned by Qiao Yue.
Qiao Yue lowered her eyes and said with a smile, “Second brother, you think too highly of me.”
As soon as Qiao Yue finished speaking, Chu Jia announced the start of the ball. The crowd dispersed, and Qiao Yue and Qiao Jing ended their fruitless conversation.
As the music started, Qiao Jing walked to the side to answer a call while Qiao Yue strolled around aimlessly holding a glass of wine.
After a few steps, Qiao Yue saw Qiao Xin and the man. The two were talking happily. The man had his arm around Qiao Xin’s waist, and Qiao Xin was leaning coquettishly into his arms. Qiao Yue had goosebumps.
The Qiao Xin she knew always looked overbearing; Qiao Yue wasn’t used to seeing her dressed like a social butterfly.
But, if Qiao Xin stayed by the man’s side, it would be hard to make a move.
At this moment, Qiao Jing walked over and frowned heavily after he saw Qiao Xin and the man.
Qiao Yue cocked her eyebrow and looked at Qiao Jing. “Second brother, what’s wrong? Care about Qiao Xin now? Shall we bring her back?”
“No need,” Qiao Jing replied coldly. He thought that the Qiao family members were all on the up and up. He didn’t expect Qiao Xin to still use her looks to seduce men.
Seeing Qiao Jing’s expression, Qiao Yue pulled him aside and took two glasses of wine from a waiter.
Qiao Yue took a sip of red wine and said, “Second brother, do you know who Qiao Xin’s friend is?”
“Who is he?” Qiao Jing frowned.
“Beelan Trand.”
Qiao Yue’s eyes darkened. For the time being, she didn’t have any ill intentions towards the Qiao family except for Qiao Xin. Reminding Qiao Jing would make him more mindful of the third family; she also wanted to do him a favor. At the very least, she wanted him to feel that she wouldn’t harm him despite her many secrets.
“The drug lord wanted by the police in D-Country?”
Qiao Jing’s eyebrows were tightly knitted. Although the Qiao family business was not completely taintless, the old master had forbidden them from getting involved in such immoral businesses. Anyone who violated the family rules would be punished, so he couldn’t figure out why Qiao Xin got involved with such a person.
“Yes.” Qiao Yue nodded.
“How do you know that he is Trand?” Qiao Jing’s eyes were fixed on Qiao Yue with a bone-chilling coldness that made people look away.
Qiao Yue wasn’t afraid of it though. Qiao Jing was at most wary of her but had no intention to kill her. She knew that Qiao Jing was suspicious of her, so she didn’t mind adding a few more suspicions to his list.
“I heard it by chance, after I saw Qiao Xin.”
Qiao Jing looked at the teenager under the dim light. His face was covered by a mask, leaving only a pair of bright eyes. His entire being looked like a mirage. When you thought you were close to him, you suddenly realized that you were thousands of miles away from him.
Qiao Jing subconsciously tugged Qiao Yue’s bangs behind one ear. The pair of eyes that he loved looked at him in confusion. He heard his own voice.
“You, who are you?”
