Chapter 448: Having Nothing At All
Qiao Yu realized halfway through her sentence that she might have misspoken, and quickly stopped talking.Song Song’s lips curled into a half-smile, "Why did you stop halfway?"
"What were you trying to say earlier?"
Qiao Yu naturally wouldn’t finish the statement, because saying it would imply she still held fantasies about Xiao Jinghuai, making her earlier statement about "not destroying their marriage" baseless.
"Nothing much," Qiao Yu said with a smile.
A dark glint flashed in Song Song’s eyes. Though fleeting, it was noticed by the sharp-eyed Qiao Yu.
Apparently, she didn’t believe her.
Qiao Yu guessed right; Song Song indeed didn’t believe the confident words she had just spoken. "Anyway, I hope Miss Qiao can keep her distance from my husband in the future. Can you do that?"
"Keep... distance?" Qiao Yu frowned slightly, "Song Song, aren’t you making a big deal out of this?"
Song Song stood up from the sofa, her gaze cold, "Miss Qiao, I don’t think this request is unreasonable. If it were you, what would you say to a woman coveting your husband, hmm?"
Qiao Yu found herself suddenly at a loss for words, the girl’s expression making her feel a chill down her back...
The current Song Song really can’t be compared to the past.
Song Song withdrew her smile, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now, bye-bye!"
Just as she took a step forward, Qiao Yu called out to her, "Song Song, you’ve really changed a lot now. Has Brother Jinghuai told you that?"
"He prefers girls who are pure and kind."
Upon hearing this, Song Song halted slightly, clenched her hands tightly and said, "What a pity, I’m no longer the Song Song I used to be."
Qiao Yu watched her leave the box room before she finally vented her suppressed anger, hurling the pillow beside her viciously at the wall, "Damn damn damn! When have I ever endured such humiliation, if I don’t take it back, Qiao Yu will be written backward!"
Just then, her phone rang in the bag, Qiao Yu impatiently took it out, and seeing the caller ID only added to her annoyance, she answered harshly, "Xiao Jiuru, what’s up?"
"Have you confronted Song Song?"
On the other end, Xiao Jiuru asked. Qiao Yu couldn’t discern what he meant!
"Yes, I’ve confronted her." Qiao Yu’s heart burned with anger, "But it hasn’t completely strained, the current her isn’t easy to deal with, she even ordered me to keep my distance from Brother Jinghuai!"
"Hmph! When is it her turn to order me around!"
Xiao Jiuru let out a light laugh at this moment, a laugh that made Qiao Yu extremely uncomfortable, she bluntly asked, "Why are you laughing?"
"Oh, nothing," Xiao Jiuru’s tone had a hint of sighing, "Just thinking, it’s truly no wonder she’s the woman Xiao Jinghuai chose, she still has the demeanor of a matriarch at critical moments, not being startled by you."
Actually, this was also Qiao Yu’s concern. If it were the previous Song Song, hearing this might have made her burst into tears on the spot, let alone warning her to stay away from Xiao Jinghuai, she’d definitely retreat into a turtle shell like a turtle.
But the current Song Song, obviously, is more composed and mature in her actions, perhaps she doesn’t believe her version and will verify it with Xiao Jinghuai.
Once verified, wouldn’t it be immediately clear that she was exaggerating?
Thinking of this, Qiao Yu felt uneasy, "Xiao Jiuru, are you really my ally or not? Can you do something useful?"
"Ha!"
The man chuckled disdainfully on the other end, "Haven’t I been doing that all along? It should... very soon the net can be pulled tight. Hey! If Xiao Jinghuai had nothing, would you still like him?"
