The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 626: Chapter 626: Stand up for Her_1

“Hey, Brother Chai!” Lin Xinxin answered the phone cheerfully, her voice filled with a joyful tone.

Lately, it seemed that Lin Xinxin had been getting more and more enthusiastic toward him…

Chai Xiyang chuckled lightly, “I need to ask you something.”

“What’s the matter?” Lin Xinxin asked, perplexed.

Chai Xiyang didn’t hold back, stating clearly: “The other day I told you about Qiao Ning’s situation. Did you share that information with anyone afterward?”

Lin Xinxin frowned, hesitating, “What happened? What’s gone wrong?”

...

“After I left that day, she was fired from the restaurant. She insists that I played a part in that, so I want to know what is really going on.”

“Brother Chai, are you suspecting me?” Lin Xinxin questioned instinctively, her tone heavy, “I didn’t do anything like that.”

“I know it wasn’t you, I’m just asking if you mentioned it to anyone else. If not, then the problem probably didn’t originate from us.”

“I did…” confessed Lin Xinxin, guiltily, “When you called me that day, President Zhang heard our conversation, but I thought he didn’t catch everything we said. However, I’m not sure if he had anything to do with it… Brother Chai, is Qiao Ning alright?”

“She is fine. Okay, now I know, you go back to your work.” With that, Chai Xiyang ended the call.

But Lin Xinxin still wanted to chat with him, yet he just hung up on her like that!

Staring at her phone, Lin Xixin’s expression turned gloomy.

So Chai Xiyang’s call was just to ask about Qiao Ning?

For some reason, Lin Xinxin felt a sense of unease. This feeling was the same as when she started losing favor with Dongfang Yu.

Back then, she had a sudden sense of feeling uncomfortable, and it turned out that her feelings were accurate.

Dongfang Yu indeed stopped paying attention to her, and she soon lost her place by his side.

Now that feeling of unease was surfacing again.

Could it be… Will Qiao Ning become a danger to her?

Back then, Hai Xiaotang was Dongfang Yu’s wife, and she, Lin Xinxin, was unable to compete with her. Eventually, she had to give up.

But now, it was clear that Chai Xiyang was with her, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, she would end up marrying him. As there was nothing between Qiao Ning and Chai Xiyang, how could Qiao Ning become a threat to her?

But her intuition had always been on point, seldom deceiving her.

Ever since Qiao Ning appeared, her intuition was telling her that Qiao Ning could be a threat to her.

That’s why she had deliberately leaked the news to Zhang Minwei, hoping he could deal with Qiao Ning.

Only she didn’t expect that the threat from Qiao Ning would materialize so quickly…

Chai Xiyang had started defending her in such short order.

Those words about not having any connection to Qiao Ning must have been false. Otherwise, why would he care about her matters?

If he really didn’t have any connection, why would Qiao Ning’s wellbeing have anything to do with him?

Could it be that Qiao Ning will become the next Hai Xiaotang?

Thinking about this, Lin Xinxin’s mood became increasingly gloomy and agitated…

*****************

After taking the medicine, Qiao Ning slept until the next morning.

Opening her eyes groggily, she was surprised to find herself in the bedroom she used to occupy when living at the Chai’s house.

Then she remembered what happened yesterday.

Initially, she came here to settle a score with Chai Xiyang, but then her period arrived unexpectedly, resulting in her staying over in a daze.

Qiao Ning was somewhat annoyed. How did she end up staying?

But as she sat up and looked around the room filled familiar items, her feelings became complicated…
