Chapter 120: Not Letting Her Feel Awkward
The Mr. Shen mentioned by the server was currently standing with his back towards Qiao Kexin, in front of a large French window.
As he turned around and walked over to Qiao Kexin, she even felt her breath become difficult for a moment.
It was Shen Jingxiu.
He was too tall, overwhelming.
Although handsome, his demeanor was icy, and his deep black eyes were intimidating.
Qiao Kexin dared not look directly at him, and her heart was pounding with fear and nervousness.
"Mr. Shen."
Shen Jingxiu glanced at Qiao Kexin and then unbuttoned his suit jacket and sat down on the sofa opposite her.
His voice was extremely cold, "Do you know why I called you here?"
With her head down, Qiao Kexin shook it, "I don't know."
"Don't know?" Shen Jingxiu lightly tapped the armrest of the sofa, and with a hint of a smile, "You told Wen Yan on the terrace that you were going to expose her to her brother for drugging, and the naked photos. Have you already forgotten?"
Qiao Kexin was thunderstruck, her eyes widened as she looked up, "You heard it? I..."
Qiao Kexin's mind was a mess!
What should she do?!
Wen Yan forbade her from revealing this matter, but if she did, Wen Yan would reveal her secret to her stepfather and stepbrother. If they found out she had almost killed her stepbrother, she would be doomed!
"No!" No, she couldn't say anything.
Tears were about to stream down Qiao Kexin's face; she watched Shen Jingxiu and shook her head vigorously.
"No, you heard it wrong. No, I misspoke. I made it up. There's really nothing to it. I was just making a fuss because Wen Yan didn't want to help me, so I started talking nonsense. There really was nothing to it! Please don't take it seriously, and please don't ask Wen Yan about it?"
Heh.
What greeted Qiao Kexin was a mocking laugh.
Shen Jingxiu buttoned up his suit again and stood up, approaching Qiao Kexin step by step.
"It seems that you are already being controlled by my sister. But do you think that you can deceive me so easily? Hmm? I don't know how my sister managed to influence you, but perhaps you would like to see what I am capable of."
"No!" Qiao Kexin was pushed back and sat on the sofa behind her. "I really made it up. I don't think I can deceive you, and I dare not deceive you. Can you just pretend that nothing has happened? Please don't call my stepfather."
"Qiao Zhigao, your stepfather. After I make a call, he will appear before me within a minute. Are you going to tell me the truth alone, or in front of him?"
Shen Jingxiu took out his phone and, in front of Qiao Kexin, found Qiao Zhigao's phone number.
With a gentle tap of his thumb, the call went through.
Qiao Kexin knew that Shen Jingxiu did not speak falsely; if the call went through, her stepfather would come to fawn over him.
But if this offended Shen Jingxiu and the Shen family and implicated her stepfather, she would be miserable by the time she returned home!
So she couldn't let the call go through!
Qiao Kexin made a decision right away.
"I will speak! I will tell you everything, please hang up the phone and don't call my stepfather. But if I tell you the truth, can you spare me? Because I already know I was wrong."
After achieving his goal, Shen Jingxiu hung up the phone and put away the cellphone.
"You think you have the right to bargain? Explain the cause and details of the matter to me."
Qiao Kexin was desperate; at this point, she had no other choice but to reveal the fact that she had incited Wen Yan to attempt to drug Shen Jingxiu.
"Originally, I wanted her to drug you to stay at the Shen family forever. The drug, the drug was also provided by me. But on the night of Madame Shen's birthday, when I messaged her about the outcome, she suddenly changed her mind and said she was joking before. She told me she had always regarded you as a real brother and would never do such a thing to you.
"Only a few days later, she ended our friendship. On the night we ended our friendship, while we were having dinner at the restaurant, we coincidentally ran into you. You were actually in the middle of a blind date."
"Everything I've told you is true. I know I was wrong; it was my jealousy at play. Wen Yan has long since severed our friendship, and I have lost her friendship. She hasn't done anything to harm you, she was just teasing me.
"So, if I confess everything to you, can you please not tell her? Can you just pretend tonight didn't happen and that you didn't hear anything? I'm begging you, Mr. Shen. It's really important to me."
After listening to all this... Shen Jingxiu remembered that night of Su Yang's birthday.
It was the night he discovered he could suddenly hear Wen Yan's thoughts, and Wen Yan inexplicably stood at the door with a glass of juice in her hand.
And one day later, in the restaurant, he happened to be seated behind Wen Yan and actually heard her trying to clear things up with Qiao Kexin.
He narrowed his eyes, focusing on Qiao Kexin's tearful face.
"I heard you have chat records?"
"No!" Qiao Kexin immediately denied, "I deleted them! Wen Yan just had me delete them."
"You don't have a backup?"
"No! I swear!”"No! I swear!"
"But what if I say I don't believe you? Or maybe you want to suffer a little."
"No," Qiao Kexin shook her head, "I don't want to, I'll show it to you right now."
In front of Shen Jingxiu, Qiao Kexin opened her phone's cloud storage.
"It's all here, there's really nothing elsewhere. Take a look."
Shen Jingxiu quickly glanced through it, there were recordings, it didn't seem fake.
But no matter what kind of instigation or confusion Wen Yan had experienced before, he only knew that in the end, he had never been drugged by anyone.
She hadn't said anything bad about herself, either on her lips or in her heart.
Giving Qiao Kexin a cold glance, Shen Jingxiu ordered, "Delete it completely. Never appear in front of her in A City again, otherwise I won't mind arranging for you to leave personally, understand?"
Leaving A City? Qiao Kexin didn't want to. But it seemed like she didn't have a choice anymore.
She looked at Shen Jingxiu and asked, "So you promise me that you won't tell Wen Yan about this, right?"
If he told Wen Yan, and Wen Yan reported her to her stepfather, it would be difficult for her to leave A City even if she wanted to.
However, Shen Jingxiu's response to her was only one word.
"Go."
He indeed wouldn't actively go ask Wen Yan, because from the beginning, he didn't intend to make her feel awkward and embarrassed.
So he could only call Qiao Kexin to interrogate her.
