Chapter 633: Chapter 632: What on Earth Do You Want to Do (2)
Over the years, in front of Xiao Zhao, Ling Chuxia had either been very quiet or very gentle. Xiao Zhao had almost never seen her as cold as ice like this.
It seemed that President Shi’s worries were indeed not unfounded.
Xiao Zhao’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he adjusted his expression, still wearing a look of confusion and incomprehension, "Miss Chuxia, what are you talking about? President Shi is in Liang City, how could he possibly be here?"
Naturally, Ling Chuxia didn’t believe his words and simply snorted coldly, "If Shi Che isn’t here, how did you come to be here?"
Xiao Zhao didn’t immediately answer; instead, he silently gestured to Mrs. He who was beside him. Understanding the signal, Mrs. He quickly chimed in, "Miss Ling, you know my Xiao Zhao?"
Just now, all of Ling Chuxia’s attention had been focused on Xiao Zhao, so she hadn’t noticed Mrs. He at her side. Now that she had spoken up, Ling Chuxia finally saw her and paused slightly, "Mrs. He?"
After a moment, as if she was truly hearing Mrs. He’s words for the first time, a hint of surprise flickered in her eyes, "Your Xiao Zhao? Xiao Zhao is your...?"
Mrs. He responded quite naturally, "Xiao Zhao is my dear nephew."
"Nephew?"
This answer truly was beyond Ling Chuxia’s expectations. She repeated the word to herself, her disbelieving gaze sweeping over Xiao Zhao’s face, "Xiao Zhao, aren’t all your family members in Liang City?"
Xiao Zhao nodded, but then laughed, "Miss Chuxia, just because my family is in Liang City doesn’t mean I don’t have relatives in other places."
His words made sense, but it was such a coincidence. How could it be that Mrs. He was Xiao Zhao’s aunt?
As though Xiao Zhao hadn’t noticed Ling Chuxia’s suspicions, he continued candidly, "Speaking of which, Miss Chuxia, you live here as well?"
Ling Chuxia lifted her eyes and scrutinized Xiao Zhao carefully, trying to find even a trace of deception on his face, but Xiao Zhao looked calm, his eyes clear, revealing nothing.
She couldn’t help but wonder, was it really just a coincidence?
Ling Chuxia narrowed her eyes and turned her gaze to Mrs. He, speaking softly, "Mrs. He, didn’t you move a while back? Isn’t there a new homeowner who moved in here?"
Mrs. He was well-prepared, not panicking at Ling Chuxia’s question and replied just as naturally, "Yes, I moved some time ago, but I haven’t sold this place because Xiao Zhao mentioned he would frequently come here for business trips. It’s not convenient to always stay in hotels, so I thought, since my place is vacant anyway, I might as well let him stay here temporarily."
Upon finishing her words, Xiao Zhao quickly explained, "Previously, our company signed a cooperation deal with your company, right? Because of the business connection, I’ll basically be shuttling back and forth for the foreseeable future, so I simply decided to stay at my aunt’s place. I just didn’t expect you to be living here too."
The two of them spoke in such a way that Ling Chuxia was left speechless. Their explanation made perfect sense; it was clear and coherent without any loopholes. However, it seemed too perfect, and she felt that something was amiss.
Her gaze involuntarily fixated on the door of Room 1101, the light in her eyes flickering slightly. Her hands clenched softly, then she lifted her head to look at Xiao Zhao, "If everything is really just a coincidence like you say, then there should be nobody in this apartment right now, right? Could you open the door and let me have a look inside?"
