C13 Not Afraid of Her
After counting the days, it was indeed his eldest aunt of the past few days. Xu Nianqing rubbed her stomach, continuing to fool Qiao Heng without any burdens in her heart.
"But my stomach really hurts. The moment I got home, I couldn't get up, so I fell asleep and forgot to call for leave. Sorry, I made you worry."
In any case, Qiao Heng didn't care about anything else other than work. Furthermore, he would never know when she would come to his aunt's office. This kind of private matter was something that Qiao Heng would not suspect.
"What?" You have a stomachache? Is it dysmenorrhea? Is it serious? Are you still at home? I'll come see you right away! "
A series of caring actions caught Xu Nianqing off guard. At this time, according to Qiao Heng's straightforward thinking, shouldn't he be repeatedly telling her to drink more hot water and then continue working?
Why was Qiao Heng's reaction different from what she had expected?
Xu Nianqing had always thought that Qiao Heng only married her for the sake of the shares in her possession. She had never thought that he would be so worried about her. For a moment, she was slightly flustered.
Just as she was worrying about how to persuade him to stop paying attention, her phone vibrated. She took a look and discovered that it was Ling Yanhao who had missed her call.
He probably knew that he was talking to Qiao Heng, so he hung up.
If Ling Yanhao knew that Qiao Heng had come to find her at such a late hour, who knew what sort of messy thoughts he would have, and what it would be more chaotic in the future.
These days, Ling Yanhao's rascals had completely overturned her past understanding. Xu Nianqing did not dare to take the risk and felt that even offending Qiao Heng was better than provoking trouble like Ling Yanhao.
Hades was easy to mess with, but a small ghost was hard to deal with.
It was obvious that the current Ling Yan Hao was just a troublesome little ghost in Xu Xinqing's eyes.
"No need, I just woke up, my stomach is already much better. You've been busy the whole day, you don't need to come visit me. Tomorrow, I can go to work normally at the company. Let's meet at the company!"
"It really doesn't matter?"
Xu Xinqing's tone was very relaxed and there wasn't a trace of reluctance in her tone. However, Qiao Heng still felt that something wasn't right.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out what was wrong, and he had never thought that Xu Yuqing would lie to him. Qiao Heng quickly accepted her suggestion and gently reminded her, "Is there red sugar in the house? Get up and get a cup of brown sugar water. Then, have a good night's sleep. See you tomorrow at the company. "
"En, see you tomorrow. Good night."
After sending off Qiao Heng, she hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief. It suddenly occurred to her that there was still another trouble waiting for her.
Helplessly dialing Ling Yan Hao's number, he called him back. After two beeps, he hung up.
"…" Damn that Ling Yanhao, you didn't call specifically to trick her, right? He actually still dared to hang up on her!
Annoyed, Xu Ruo Qing grabbed her pillow and started punching and kicking again.
After tossing and turning the entire day, he was even joked around by Ling Yanhao before he went to bed. The next day, he woke up.
She had put on a thick layer of concealer, and even her originally fair skin had been changed by the cosmetics. Even Xu Nianqing couldn't stand watching this any longer.
Feeling unwell from the cosmetics, Xu Nianqing rushed into the bathroom and washed off her makeup. After that, she simply put on some makeup, allowing her fair skin to have two conspicuous dark circles around her eyes, ignoring them.
Just take it as the latest smoky makeup and it will be gone in two days anyway. No need to mind it so much, after all, everyone has time for insomnia.
Arriving at the company after giving up on his own accord, Xu Xinqing's new panda eye indeed attracted the attention of many of his colleagues.
Normally, everyone was envious of her fair and flawless skin. They would always tease her that she was like an elegant, peeled egg.
However, having too good a skin also had its shortcomings. For example, it was especially obvious with just a little black eye. Everyone's attention naturally fell on the black eye and came over to ask her what she did last night.
Deceiving someone was also deceiving them, but so was deceiving a group of people. Xu Nianqing patiently used the painful sutra to get rid of a bunch of gossipers, only leaving a tearful Shen Xiaoru by her side.
"Big sis Nian Qing, wuu. I thought you left me here yesterday to take care of yourself. I didn't expect you to be so difficult. I was wrong about you …
Shen Xiaoru was still a child. She hugged Xu Ruo Qing's waist, unwilling to let go. She rubbed her face against her chest, not knowing if this child was intentionally toying with her, or just acting coquettishly.
"What's wrong? Did Yan Si teach you a lesson when we got back yesterday? "
Yesterday, she did ask the angry Shen Yan Si to bring Shen Xiaoru away in order to escape, but alas, the innocent Shen Xiaoru did not discover that she had been used. Instead, she came to complain to her, the main culprit.
"When did she not teach me a lesson?"
Shen Xiaoru pouted her lips in anger, complaining about her overbearing sister, "Sister Nian Qing, don't you know how excessive she is taking advantage of this opportunity?! She took away my wallet and her bank card stopped. She even tried to stop me from coming to work! "
"Wow, that's serious."
Yesterday, she had indeed heard Shen Yan Si's words. However, Xu Ruo Qing had thought that it was Shen Yan Si's words of anger. She hadn't thought that she would actually be able to harden her heart to deal with her own little sister.
The title of 'Strong Woman' was not just for show!
As she thought about it, her guilt towards Shen Xiaoru deepened.
The innocent Shen Xiaoru did not notice that Xu Nianqing was looking at her with a different look in her eyes. She continued to mutter, and proudly said: "Heh, why would I listen to her obediently? "Taking advantage of her inattentiveness, I secretly let my neighbor's brother bring me to the company. With Qiao here, I'm not afraid of her!"
"Oh? "With Qiao Qiao here, can you turn the sky upside down?"
The gloomy voice was mixed with the impending storm.
Shen Xiaoru's body stiffened, and she involuntarily turned her head to look at the person behind her. She let out a cry and quickly hid behind Xu Xiangqing.
Shen Yan Si, dressed in formal attire, exuded an imposing aura. Her height of one meter and 75 centimeters was extremely oppressive. Just by standing in front of her, she felt so guilty that she couldn't speak.
In the end, he decided to sacrifice Shen Xiaoru. No matter how strict Shen Yan Si was towards Shen Xiaoru, he would not harm her.
Swallowing her saliva, Xu Ruo Qing's lips curled into an awkward smile as she pulled Shen Xiaolou in front of her, pushing her forward as if she was offering a sacrifice, "Yan Si, don't be angry. Little Ru doesn't want to go against your plan on purpose, maybe there's a problem with the communication between the two of you, so it's better to speak clearly to her face to face."
"Really?" Shen Xiaoru, do you have any objections to my arrangements? "
It was clear that Shen Yan Si was truly angry. She even began to call out Shen Xiaoru's name. This was a sign that she was angry.
