Song Qiao looked at the photos, flipped through them, laughed, and turned her head to ask Ning Wan directly, "What did Song Xi tell you?"
Actually, there was nothing inappropriate about these photos; they were taken secretly when she was with a man at a coffee shop. But since she seldom interacts with the opposite sex, even a few photos could easily become leverage for Song Xi!
Ning Wan was startled initially, then answered truthfully, "She said you’ve been kept by this man, what else could she say?"
Song Qiao laughed, still looking at her, and asked, "So, do you believe her or me?"
"Of course, I believe you!" Ning Wan answered without a second thought, then paused and continued, "I’m just worried about that man bullying you, he doesn’t look like good news at first glance, and I’m afraid you might be deceived!"
Her trust in Song Qiao was unconditional, not for any reason but because they were close best friends who shared everything. Another reason was... Song Qiao had once risked her life to save hers!
It wasn’t that she believed Song Xi’s words over Song Qiao’s, but because she was afraid of Song Qiao being bullied!
Most importantly, the man in the photos was someone she knew all too well... it was just that Ning Wan didn’t know!
"That man is my current boss!" Song Qiao smiled slightly, poured herself another glass of water, took a sip, and continued, "That day I was with him discussing cooperation matters with another company, and then we had lunch outside! I guess Song Xi had someone tail me, and that’s how she got these photos! Though, the photography skill is pretty good..."
"You mean this man is your boss?" Ning Wan widened her eyes as she glanced at the man in the photos and then back at Song Qiao in front of her!
Seeing Ning Wan’s eyes wide open and somewhat flustered, Song Qiao felt a mix of doubt and surprise, but she still nodded, took Ning Wan’s hand, and feeling her hand a bit cold, couldn’t help but ask with concern, "What’s wrong? Do you know Lin Musen?"
During college, Lin Musen was not in the same university as them; he was a top graduate from Columbia University. If Ning Wan knew him, it would have had to be from before!
But after thinking it over, it seemed unlikely. If Song Qiao remembered correctly, Ning Wan’s family lived in Lin City until her junior year in high school, and they moved to An City only during her senior year, whereas she had heard Lin Musen mention that he had been living abroad since middle school!
Moreover, Lin Musen had an even more impressive identity: one of the An City Four Young Masters!
As for which four, she only knew Shen Yi was one of them! ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ noⅴelfire.net
Hearing Song Qiao’s words, Ning Wan quickly shook her head, her gaze clear and straightforward, "How could I possibly know such an important person, I just heard about him back in school!"
Song Qiao gave a hum, didn’t say much, and naturally trusted Ning Wan’s words, just as Ning Wan also trusted hers!
Song Qiao tidied up the photos on the table, smiled, and said, "You probably haven’t had dinner yet, I’ll go make you some..."
However, at this moment, Ning Wan grabbed Song Qiao’s hand, looked up at her with those puzzled eyes, and after a moment of courage mustered up, she finally spoke, "Qiaoqiao, if there are things I haven’t told you, it’s because there is a reason. I’m not deliberately hiding them from you, can you understand that?"
There are some things she didn’t want to talk about yet, including her past agonies!
