BXBX NOVEL Chapter 91
Chapter 91: Misunderstanding
In front of the glass display case in the shop, Qu Xiao glanced at Ling Chi with contempt and ridicule in her eyes. The corners of her lips curled into a mocking smile.
Ling Chi immediately felt his blood boil. His voice rose a few degrees uncontrollably. He slammed the glass of the display case and said fiercely to the boss, “I’ll offer 100,000!”
When Qu Xiao heard him raise his offer, she frowned with displeasure.
“Your family is rich, but you still have to respect others when buying things, right? I’ve already reached an agreement with the boss, yet you still want to negotiate? ”
The boss looked at the two of them with a troubled expression. Qu Xiao and Ling Chi were people whom he could not afford to offend.
Amidst the tense atmosphere, Qu Xiao narrowed her eyes and stared at Ling Chi.
When she thought of the turmoil in Ling Group, her eyes moved slightly as she reminded him, “You just caused so much trouble for Ling Group. I’m afraid that your father probably had his assistant limit your credit card allowance to control your expenses, right?”
“100,000 yuan. Boss, I wonder if you can even get that amount from his card.”
Ling Chi was furious. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists as he tried hard to suppress his anger.
Qu Xiao retrieved his bank card with a calm expression and stuffed it into Ling Chi’s suit’s pocket with a smile in her eyes.
“So boss, I am the one who will be getting the jade pendant!”
The boss quickly handed the jade pendant to Qu Xiao.
Jiang Xue’er wanted to stand up for Ling Chi. She put on an arrogant expression and pointed at Qu Xiao as she said, “You are only arrogant now because you are Shang Yan’s wife. When Shang Yan divorces you in the future, you will be reduced to nothing!”
Qu Xiao had originally wanted to turn around and leave, but when she heard this, she immediately frowned and stared at Jiang Xue’er.
“Divorce? You should at least be married if you want to bring up divorce to me. Right now, do you think Ling Chi will even acknowledge that you two have something going on?”
Qu Xiao picked up her phone and took a picture of Jiang Xue’er and Ling Chi, who were acting intimately.
When Ling Chi saw this, he wanted to shake off Jiang Xue’er’s hand that was holding his, but it was already too late.
The scene captured was ambiguous, and the evidence was conclusive.
Qu Xiao stared at the the picture and started admiring it with satisfaction. Then, she said in a mocking tone, “You’d better not provoke me and hope that I’ll always be in a good mood. I act rashly when I’m in a bad mood. If I send this picture to Qu Zhen, what will happen?”
“Ling Chi, you’ve only just explained to Qu Zhen about the video and news regarding the call girl a while ago.”
“She has been having a hard time processing everything that has happened recently. If she sees this picture, perhaps...”
Qu Xiao raised her hand and gestured with her thumb at her neck.
Ling Chi couldn’t control his anger and took two steps forward, trying to snatch away Qu Xiao’s phone.
Qu Xiao placed her phone behind her back. She dodged him and gradually moved closer to the corner. “What are you trying to do?”
Ling Chi glared at her fiercely and raised his hand high, acting as if he wanted to slap her.
Pa! With a muffled sound, Shang Yan grabbed Qu Xiao’s wrist and pulled her to his side.
Ling Chi furrowed his eyebrows and stared at him, his hands hanging by his sides. Recalling Mr. Ling’s exhortation, the corners of his mouth twitched unwillingly as he said, “CEO Shang, I didn’t know you’d be here too.”
Shang Yan’s eyes were filled with anger as he said coldly, “Xiao and I are here to buy furniture. What were you trying to do to her just now? I don’t know how Xiao offended you, but I can deal with it for her.”
“I will most likely run into CEO Ling at the public recruitment next week. How about we set a time to talk about it?”
Ling Chi’s body stiffened for a moment when he heard Shang Yan bring up his father. Then, he laughed and shrugged his shoulders. “No, it’s okay.”
Ling Chi stared at the phone in Qu Xiao’s hand with a vicious expression and left in large strides.
Jiang Xue’er glared at Qu Xiao with resentment in her eyes. She mouthed silently to warn her, “Just you wait!”
Shang Yan looked at Qu Xiao with a cold expression. Then, he pushed his wheelchair towards the elevator in the shopping mall.
Qu Xiao raised her hand to touch her face in a daze. She checked her makeup in the floor-to-ceiling mirror beside her. There was nothing strange.
The next second, she saw the elevator that was about to close and hurriedly ran towards it.
In the narrow elevator, Qu Xiao could feel that something was wrong, but she did not know the reason.
She lowered her head to look at the shopping bag in her hand and could not help but smile.
Seeing that she was in a good mood, Shang Yan silently furrowed his eyebrows.
He silently pondered in his heart, “Could it be that she still has a trace of affection for Ling Chi?”
The two of them came to the parking lot. Li felt the tension in the atmosphere in the car and couldn’t help but nervously gulp.
Within just half an hour, Shang Yan’s expression had changed so drastically. He looked so angry as if he wanted kill someone.
