Chapter 1055: Chapter 1055: Last Words (5)

Qiao Qiao knew that Ye Shiqing was right, she had been too reckless, imposing on others against their will.

Ye Shiqing looked at Qiao Qiao, “Xiaoqiao, don’t worry, Sisi will find a way.”

It was her first time seeking his help, yet he was unable to alleviate her worries and difficulties.

“Second Brother, go ahead with your work, I’ll head out to do mine.” Qiao Qiao said and left the office.

Wen Beibei was waiting outside the office, her face grave. Seeing Qiao Qiao come out, Wen Beibei said, “I’ve heard about Su’s situation. Don’t worry, she has a charmed life and won’t come to any harm.”

“Let’s hope,” Qiao Qiao murmured with emotion, “These past years haven’t been easy for her, she’s endured a lot of hardship, and it’s only recently that she started having better days…”

As she spoke, Qiao Qiao’s eyes reddened. Looking at Wen Beibei, she suddenly remembered that Wen Beibei wasn’t a good person. Speaking about it might just give Wen Beibei something to laugh at.

“Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore.” Qiao Qiao walked a few steps away, suddenly turned back, and looked at Wen Beibei, “Xiaobei, tell me the truth, is Su the one you’re after?”

She remembered Su Hongxing once said that Wen Beibei seemed to be threatening her outwardly, but the person Wen Beibei truly wanted to deal with was Su Hongxing.

Could Su Hongxing’s sudden disappearance be related to Wen Beibei?

“I have no quarrel or grievance with her, why would I go after Su? She is my good classmate and my good friend,” Wen Beibei replied evenly.

“You’d better remember what you said today. If I find out that Su’s disappearance has anything to do with you, I will not let you go!” Qiao Qiao looked deeply at Wen Beibei and walked away.

Wen Beibei stood frozen, watching Qiao Qiao leave and took a long while to regain her composure.

She turned around only to find Ye Shiqing having been standing behind her for some time, apparently for a while.

“What did Xiaoqiao mean just now?” Ye Shiqing asked coldly.

“I’m just as perplexed. What, does Brother Shiqing also suspect I took Su away? Not to mention Su and I were good friends in college, even after many years apart, it’s impossible she would do anything to betray me. So…”

“What Xiaoqiao just said, that’s exactly what I wanted to tell you. You’d best not be involved in this matter, otherwise, no one will let you off the hook. Watch your step,” Ye Shiqing cut off Wen Beibei’s endless babble.

Wen Beibei stood there with a bitter smile, then walked away disheartened…

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.

On the surface, everything seemed no different from before Su Hongxing left.

Ye Qilan went to work and back home as usual, organizing everything in perfect order before the Chinese New Year.

But those close to him knew that Ye Qilan had become more silent, less inclined to talk. He only spoke a few words when he was with Little Pudding. Only Little Pudding could make Ye Qilan force a smile.

It was hard to imagine that Su Hongxing had been gone for a month. There was no news from Liu Yuan, and the people Age had sent hadn’t received any feedback, as if Su Hongxing had vanished from Taicheng.

But Ye Qilan had said more than once that Su Hongxing was still in this city, that they were breathing in the same city.

“Daddy, it’s New Year’s today, isn’t Mommy coming back?” Little Pudding, held in Ye Qilan’s arms, asked in a buzzing voice.

Ye Qilan pinched the little guy’s face, “Mommy is still angry with Daddy, and it will be a while before she comes back. Little Pudding, Mommy knows you’ve been very good lately, and she would be happy.”

“I will always, always be good.”
