Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband

Chapter 189: Chapter 189 “Is it you…

Ji Yuqiao originally intended to warn Keke about possibly being deceived by her boyfriend.

Unexpectedly, Keke was not at all grateful and even mocked her.

She pursed her lips, feeling quite uncomfortable inside.

“Just ask,” Keke’s face cooled, and she took out her phone in front of everyone to call her boyfriend.

After two or three rings, the call was answered.

“Dear, barely an hour apart and you’re already calling me—do you miss me?” A man’s laughing voice came through the speakerphone.

Keke’s voice grew coquettish, “Dear, a classmate of mine claims the necklace you just gifted me is fake—”

The man’s voice instantly grew colder, “Are you suggesting that I spent tens of millions on a fake necklace for you?”

“No, I never doubted you, it’s all her making stuff up by my ear,” Keke quickly cleared herself.

The man snorted coldly, “Tell your classmate, every project in my company involves tens of millions, how could I possibly not afford a genuine gemstone necklace?”

Keke hastily responded, “Yes, yes, yes…”

“I’ll send you the photo of the receipt on your phone, if anyone doubts again, just show them the receipt. I have a deal worth 20 million to discuss next, got to hang up.”

Shortly after the man hung up, Keke received the photo of the receipt on her WeChat.

She triumphantly held her phone up to Ji Yuqiao’s face, “Now you have nothing to say, do you?”

A photo of a receipt can also be Photoshopped, right?

Ji Yuqiao opened her mouth, ready to keep arguing, when her roommate tugged at her clothes, stopping the words before they could be spoken.

“Keke, don’t be angry. Ji Yuqiao is probably just jealous seeing you with such a great boyfriend, that’s why she said that,” another roommate commented.

Keke regained her arrogant demeanor and snorted, “Forget it, I won’t stoop to her level.

Ji Yuqiao fell silent, not speaking anymore, and returned to her seat to read a book.

Having warned her, if she didn’t believe it, then so be it.

Ji Yuqiao no longer wanted to meddle in Keke and her boyfriend’s affairs.

However, unexpectedly, in the evening, Keke actually came looking for her.

“Tonight my boyfriend is treating me and some friends at a club, you should come too,” Keke said as if generously granting Ji Yuqiao the permission to join them.

Ji Yuqiao disinterestedly replied, “You guys go ahead, I don’t want to go.”

“Rest assured, my boyfriend and I are very generous, we won’t retaliate just because you spread rumors that the necklace was fake,” Keke proudly tilted her chin up.

“Come on, let’s all go, it’s more fun with more people,” she insisted.

The roommate also began persuading Ji Yuqiao to come along.

With her roommates pushing her, Ji Yuqiao, unable to refuse, reluctantly followed them to the club.@@novelbin@@

Upon opening the door, the private room was already filled with several people and the table was laden with bottles and jars of alcohol.

Keke walked over to a man with an Azure Dragon tattooed on his arm, resting her head on his chest in an intimate manner, “Dear, did you miss me?”

“Of course I did,” the man kissed her on the lips.

Keke coyly hit his shoulder, “There are so many people here.”

“We didn’t see anything, no worries sister-in-law, hahaha…” someone from the crowd jeered.

Keke’s cheeks turned red, “Stop teasing me, I’ve brought a few classmates along too.”

Upon hearing this, the man finally raised his head to look at them.

He surveyed them for a moment and his gaze ultimately fell on Ji Yuqiao’s face, passing a trace of astonishment, he stared at her for a long time, lost in thought.

It wasn’t until Keke showed displeasure and pinched him hard in the waist that the man snapped back to reality, wincing in pain.

“Keke, is this also your classmate?” the man asked, still holding her shoulders, but his eyes were fixated on Ji Yuqiao.

Ji Yuqiao had clear, bright eyes beneath her delicately arched eyebrows, and her beauty was striking. Even standing among a crowd, she could catch one’s eye, throbbing the heart.

Keke glanced at Ji Yuqiao and suddenly regretted bringing her along.

The smile on Keke’s lips turned unnatural, “Yes, she is the classmate who said you gave me a fake necklace.”

“The young girl has not seen much of the world, it’s normal she couldn’t recognize the real thing.” The man laughed and beckoned Ji Yuqiao over, “Come here, sit next to me, how about I give you a gemstone necklace too?”

Upon hearing his words, Keke’s smile had already frozen.

Ji Yuqiao merely gave him a brief glance and chose the furthest seat to sit down.

“Young lady, quite a personality,” the man chuckled, unfazed.

Seeing that she didn’t come over, Keke finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back against the man again.

However, throughout the evening, the man’s gaze kept straying to Ji Yuqiao, and he even failed to hear Keke speaking to him.

Seeing Ji Yuqiao heading out, Keke got up immediately and followed, “I’m going to the restroom.”

The man replied carelessly, “Go ahead.”

Keke slowed her pace, and by the time she got to the restroom, Ji Yuqiao had already come out.

She immediately called Ji Yuqiao, “The washstand is too wet, it might dirty my bag, could you hold it for me?”

Ji Yuqiao nodded her head, seemingly unconcerned, and stood at the restroom door waiting for her.

While waiting, she idly looked around.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure in the corridor.

Xiao Yu was dressed in a suit, holding some documents and talking to someone beside him, looking calm and composed.

Ji Yuqiao stood there stunned, staring at him for a long time until Keke came out of the restroom and called out to her, which finally snapped her out of it.

“Thanks, you can give me my bag now,” Keke said.

Ji Yuqiao handed her the bag and looked up towards the corridor again, but Xiao Yu had disappeared.

Ji Yuqiao’s thoughts momentarily wandered, and she lost the desire to stay there any longer.

Her lips slightly parted, just as she was about to tell Keke she wanted to leave early, a sharp, piercing scream rang out.

“Ah!” Keke frantically rummaged through her bag.

“What’s wrong?” Ji Yuqiao was puzzled.

“The gemstone necklace my boyfriend gave me is gone!” Keke frenziedly searched, even dumping everything out of her bag onto the floor, with compact powder and lipstick scattering everywhere.

“Think again, could you have placed it somewhere else?” Ji Yuqiao suggested.

“Impossible, I was worried about dirtying the necklace, so I specifically put it in my bag when I went to the restroom. Such an expensive necklace…” Keke’s face suddenly lost all color.

After a moment, she looked up, incredulous, staring at Ji Yuqiao, “After going to the restroom, you were the only one who touched my bag, could it be you…”
