Chapter 118: You're Looking for Death on Your Own
From the silent arrival and departure of Shen Jingxiu, neither Wen Yan nor Qiao Kexin on the terrace noticed.
However, it was Min Xiaxia, who had been paying attention to Wen Yan, who discovered Shen Jingxiu's whereabouts.
But due to the dim lighting on the terrace, combined with the distance and angle, Min Xiaxia did not see Shen Jingxiu's appearance clearly.
And her attention was quickly drawn to a producer.
She didn't expect to encounter someone from the entertainment industry in this kind of gathering, and this producer happened to have several major projects on his hands.
Therefore, despite being interested in Wen Yan and Wen Yan's "sugar daddy" tonight, Min Xiaxia still focused her enthusiasm and energy on the producer.
Meanwhile, on the terrace, the confrontation between Wen Yan and Qiao Kexin was not over.
Wen Yan felt that Qiao Kexin was overestimating herself.
Originally, Wen Yan planned to leave and find another place to avoid Qiao Kexin since she wasn't leaving. But now, she sat back down on the chair and took her time putting on her high heels before looking up at Qiao Kexin.
"Do you think you're the only one with our past chat records? We both talked about it, so if you have them, I have them too."
"Haha," Qiao Kexin hadn't thought it through yet and laughed, "Are you scared by me, Wen Yan? Those chat records you have are useless, they are all evidence of your maliciousness. Bringing them out won't do you any good!"
Wen Yan chuckled, "Did you get drunk before coming here? Did alcohol burn your IQ? You can use chat records to threaten me, but can't I use chat records to threaten you?"
Wen Yan looked at Qiao Kexin and gradually changed her expression, "I am quite reasonable towards those who have no ill intentions towards me, but for someone with the surname Qiao, that doesn't mean I am a good person."
"When we chatted before, you cursed your stepfather and stepbrother quite a bit. Three years ago, when you and your family went on a trip, you knowingly threw away your stepbrother's inhaler, almost causing him to die. Have you forgotten about that?"
"But it doesn't matter if you forgot, or if you don't want to admit it. Because, just like you said when you threatened me earlier, our chat records will testify for me!"
Upon hearing Wen Yan's words, Qiao Kexin's face turned pale.
She had actually forgotten about that incident, but it was already three years ago!
"I think you're just bluffing, Wen Yan. Did you start screenshotting back then? I don't believe it! Since the moment you deleted and blocked me, our chat records disappeared!"
Wen Yan remained composed, "You can go ahead and try. If I take those screenshots to your stepfather and stepbrother, what would be your outcome?"
"You dare! If you dare to go to them, I will go find your adoptive parents! I know who they are, and all those screenshots have been saved on my phone."
"Then go ahead," Wen Yan even revealed an innocent smile to Qiao Kexin, "I'm in a different situation. Many years ago, my adoptive parents gave me a car and a house."
"The car isn't a top-tier luxury car, just a few million Ferrari. And the house is an apartment in the city center, oh no, it shouldn't be called an apartment, as it has 200 square meters, it should be called a large flat."
"As for those cars and houses, they were transferred to my name a long time ago. Other than these properties, I also receive a monthly allowance of 200,000. Over the years, I've saved up a savings account with eight digits. And everything is under my name."
"What does it mean to have everything under my name? Do you know? It means that even if you bring this matter to my family and they kick me out of the Shen family, I still have tens of millions of assets in my name. I can still live a luxurious life in the second half of my life."
"But what about you? What did your stepfather give you? He didn't give you anything. Once I expose you, you will have nothing. And you know your stepbrother's temper the best. If he finds out that you almost killed him, oh, your future won't be easy."
"So are you really sure... that you want to threaten me with those chat records in your hands? Are you sure you're not hitting a rock with an egg, seeking a dead end?"
"... " Qiao Kexin's heart instantly turned cold. Because Wen Yan was right, she had no way out.
If she truly went all out against Wen Yan, she would be the dead fish, while Wen Yan only made a small hole in the net.
She deflated instantly and was about to leave the terrace.
"Stop!" The conversation had reached this point, how could Wen Yan just let her go like this?
Qiao Kexin turned back, looking desperate and numb, "What else do you want? I've already admitted defeat! Can I just leave?"
"Of course, you can leave, but you have to delete those screenshots in front of me."
"I deleted them. Can you delete my screenshots as well?"
"Do you really think you have the right to negotiate with me? Take out your phone, quickly."
Qiao Kexin was very unwilling, but she couldn't think of any way to deal with Wen Yan. She had no choice but to take out her phone.
"They're all deleted now. Can I go?"
"Take care of yourself, and don't try to play any tricks on me or anyone in the Shen family. Don't ever appear in front of me again."
Qiao Kexin clenched her teeth, "I won't dare."
After saying that, she left the terrace.
When she left, Min Xiaxia happened to have finished her conversation with the producer.
Min Xiaxia noticed Qiao Kexin's ugly expression, and shortly after, she saw Wen Yan coming out from the terrace.
Similarly, Wen Yan didn't look happy.
While speculating about the relationship between Wen Yan and Qiao Kexin, Min Xiaxia walked to the nearby bar and picked up a glass of champagne.
Just as she was about to look for her "sugar daddy," Min Xiaxia suddenly overheard her own name.
She turned around to the direction where the voice came from and realized it was the producer she had just finished talking to discussing her with someone else.
But what the producer said was not pleasant, producer's words are not nice to hear.
"......Mr. Chen was joking. The person I was talking to just now was not my female companion. I came alone today. ...She's just a third-rate minor celebrity, named Min Xiaxia. Have you heard of her?"
"......Huh, why else would she look for me? Trying to curry favor with me, hoping to act in my script. She's somewhat sweet-looking, but a bit naive, and she's also a rotten goods. I don't even want to use her."
"......Did you also see her variety show? The reviews aren't great. There's also an actress named Wen Yan in the program, I think she looks pretty good, really eye-catching."
"......The key is that the newcomer is clean. People I know say she still hasn't signed with an agency, so probably not many people have taken advantage of her. Both my project and I want to try something new."
Min Xiaxia became infuriated after inadvertently hearing this conversation. She nearly bit her teeth in anger.
This despicable man didn't say these things to her when they were chatting earlier.
Earlier, they were having a pleasant conversation, and he showed interest in her, acting like he would use her!
But now he's calling her a rotten goods! What's even more despicable is that he actually mentioned Wen Yan to belittle her!
Wen Yan! It seems like she really benefited from that variety show. Even though both of them appeared on the same program, someone noticed Wen Yan! She's really an obstacle!
Thinking of this, Min Xiaxia couldn't help but search around the lobby.
-
At this moment.
Wen Yan had already returned to Su Yang's side.
Su Yang looked at her, still dressed in the same thin outfit as before, and was somewhat surprised.
"Weren't you supposed to go to the terrace to get some fresh air? Didn't you go?"
"I did go, but it got a bit cold after staying there for a while, so I came back."
"Over there is an open-air place, so it's naturally a bit cold at night. But didn't I ask your brother to bring you a shawl? Did he not find you?"
What?!
"Just now? Brother?" Wen Yan suddenly had a bad feeling, "Brother came too?"
"Your cousin also invited him, he came after work. Strange, there aren't several terraces here, how come he didn't find you and hasn't come back?"
Wen Yan swallowed and immediately turned her head to look in the direction she came from.
"Mom, can you be more specific about when it was just now?"
"Just a few minutes ago."
".........." Wen Yan fell silent instantly.
A few minutes ago, she seemed to be threatening each other with Qiao Kexin.
Qiao Kexin had mentioned the incident where the original body was planning to drug Shen Jingxiu.
Could it be that Shen Jingxiu happened to be on the terrace at that time???
If he heard it......
Wen Yan couldn't imagine that scene.
But according to his character, if he really heard it, he should have appeared in front of her and Qiao Kexin with a cold face.
No, maybe he wouldn't.
Thinking and thinking, Wen Yan couldn't figure out Shen Jingxiu's temperament.
She simply took out her phone and planned to call Shen Jingxiu to ask where he was.
Just as she was about to dial, she suddenly heard Shen Jingxiu's voice from behind.
"So you're here."
Then, a soft fabric wrapped around Wen Yan's shoulders.
Wen Yan immediately turned around, "Brother! Thank you. I heard mom say that you came to look for me just now. I was on the terrace the whole time, did you not see me or did you go to the wrong place?"
"No." Shen Jingxiu looked at Wen Yan and calmly explained, "I was about to go to the terrace to find you, but I received an emergency call, so I was delayed. It's cold, right?"
Wen Yan shook her head, "No, it's not that cold."
Wen Yan looked at Shen Jingxiu and relaxed.
‘Phew, luckily he didn't hear just now. He scared me.’
Shen Jingxiu glanced at Wen Yan and furrowed his eyebrows imperceptibly.
So she's also scared.
