The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker

Chapter 372 - 342: Causing Trouble Again

Gu GroupQiao Yuxian heard Liu Zhou talking about how Yao Mountain Island got involved with the Qin Family in the bathroom, and after a few seconds of silence, she said: "What? Is my word so useless now?"

Liu Zhou said: "Yan Ting... gave the order."

Qiao Yuxian was silent again, and when she spoke again, her voice was colder: "He’s doing it on purpose."

Liu Zhou didn’t say anything.

"Because of me?!" Qiao Yuxian exclaimed.

"Maybe," Liu Zhou said, "or maybe because of Mr. Gu, he knows Mr. Gu is on Cui Mountain Island."

The Qin Family is on Cui Mountain Island, a very small island.

It’s very close to Yao Mountain Island.

"Does he know I married Gu Yanjing?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"Probably," Liu Zhou said, "You and Mr. Gu didn’t particularly hide it, so it should be easy for him to know."

Qiao Yuxian took a light breath: "Is he crazy?"

Liu Zhou said: "He probably wants you to come back, you’ve been gone too long, not replying to messages, not picking up calls."

Qiao Yuxian said nothing, her face full of speechlessness.

Liu Zhou waited for a while and asked: "Sister Xian, what should we do now?"

What to do?

She wanted to give Yan Ting a shovel.

"Go to M Continent," Qiao Yuxian sighed again and said, "Go tell him I’ll meet him in M Continent, see if he’ll come."

"He definitely knows you’re trying to help Mr. Gu divert him," Liu Zhou said.

"Yeah. Let him know," Qiao Yuxian said, "Then ask if he’s coming or not."

Liu Zhou hadn’t even gone to ask and already had the answer in mind.

Yan Ting would definitely go.

Even if he knew it was to help Gu Yanjing divert him, he would also go just to see Qiao Yuxian.

"Okay. Got it," Liu Zhou said.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yuxian pulled up a photo of Yan Ting from her phone album and punched it with her right hand.

Her hand was red from hitting it, she finally exhaled, left the bathroom, and took leave.

Qiao Yuxian bought a flight ticket to M Continent for nearly nine o’clock at night.

She asked the director for leave.

She wasn’t in a hurry, just sat at her workstation.

There wasn’t much work, so she looked over the dubbing materials Shi Tan had sent her.

As soon as it hit off-work time in the afternoon, everyone was preparing to leave, when Xu Jingjing suddenly shouted: "Everyone, wait a minute, I bought drinks for everyone, and there are snacks too, they’ll be here soon. Grab them before you leave. I’ve caused some trouble for everyone recently, consider this my apology."

Since the last small conflict between Xu Jingjing and Qiao Yuxian, Xu Jingjing had become much quieter, to the point where it felt like she had disappeared from the translation department.

Now, she suddenly wanted to treat everyone to drinks, so everyone hesitated for a moment. Some even instinctively glanced at Qiao Yuxian.

To see if she would stay.

If she stayed, everyone would stay to give Xu Jingjing some face.

If she didn’t, everyone had to consider how not to offend either one of them.

Qiao Yuxian heard the voice and looked in her direction.

After Xu Jingjing finished speaking, she also glanced at her, and their eyes met briefly. Xu Jingjing quickly looked away and said with a smile: "Actually, it’s not entirely my treat this time, Miss Lu brought it for you all. She came to Gu Group to discuss some matters. Knowing I’ve been a nuisance to everyone lately, she bought some things for you all."

Zhao Meng looked at Qiao Yuxian.

Qiao Yuxian also looked back at her.

The two of them looked at each other, and from Zhao Meng’s gaze, Qiao Yuxian sensed her disgust.

"What is she up to? What’s the meaning of this?" Zhao Meng said, "Who doesn’t know about Lu Mengyi and Gu Yanjing, bringing her here, isn’t this just to disgust you?"

"What about them?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

Zhao Meng looked at her with an expression as if she were looking at an idiot and said: "It’s been years, the Capital City has been saying Lu Mengyi is Mr. Gu’s fiancée. A perfect match, talented and beautiful, well-matched."

"Those are all just rumors," Qiao Yuxian said, "They’ve always been innocent."

Zhao Meng said: "I know they’re innocent, but now that she’s here, you’re back in the center of gossip again."

Qiao Yuxian sighed, feeling helpless.

Xu Jingjing brought Lu Mengyi here just to embarrass her.

Lu Mengyi, with an excellent background. If you look around, only the Lu Family and Gu Family can be considered a perfect match.

She has a good appearance, is competent, and talented.

The legendary fiancée of Gu Yanjing is like this.

Whereas in real life, the wife of Gu Yanjing is a simple, beautiful female college student who lacks family background, competence, and hasn’t shown any talent.

In comparison,

Except for being beautiful, Qiao Yuxian has nothing else to offer.

It’s no wonder people gossip.

Under such comparison, any sensible person would choose the outstanding one.

But... Gu Yanjing chose her.

Everyone doesn’t dare say it outright, but probably thinks Mr. Gu has bad taste.

And Qiao Yuxian has heard worse things outside.

Saying she’s a homewrecker, that she’s a seductress leading men astray, that she climbed into Gu Yanjing’s bed and used bedroom skills to ruin Gu Yanjing and Lu Mengyi.

She’s seen these things, and others have too.

Xu Jingjing’s move is like stabbing Qiao Yuxian in the heart with a steel needle furiously.

Although the people in the office do think this way, the true boss’s wife is here, and they know what’s more important.

So everyone’s mind is gossiping, watching the show, but they’re all waiting for Qiao Yuxian’s reaction.

Opposite, Lin You said: "Qiaoqiao, let’s leave."

Qiao Yuxian looked at him.

Xu Qingqing said: "Leave for what, we are the legitimate queen."

Lin You said nothing more.

He was afraid that Qiao Yuxian would be compared here, turned into a joke.

Even though she won the position of Mr. Gu’s wife, she would still be ridiculed.

People don’t say it out loud, but their hearts might harbor resentment.

Qiao Yuxian smiled, about to say something, then heard Xu Jingjing say: "Qiao Yuxian, I was wrong before, let me apologize to you here. I also had Sister Lu buy something just for you, so please wait a moment before leaving."

Qiao Yuxian had a slight smile on her face, but there was no trace of a smile in her eyes. Across several workstations, across several people, she looked at Xu Jingjing.

Gu Yanjing went to the Xu Family once, making her behave for a few days.

Now that Gu Yanjing is on a business trip, she’s causing trouble again.

And she pulled Lu Mengyi out to block the front.

What did Lu Mengyi ever do to deserve this?

Loved someone for many years but never married.

Now being used as a pawn.

Qiao Yuxian looked at Xu Jingjing, and after a moment, lightly chuckled: "Miss Xu, with your kindness, everyone should take the drinks before leaving, after all, there may never be another chance to taste Miss Xu’s treat again."

Xu Jingjing laughed triumphantly, very pleased: "Don’t worry, I’ll treat more often in the future."

Qiao Yuxian withdrew her gaze with a smile, saying nothing else.

The other people in the office began to scatter and thank Xu Jingjing.
