Chapter 81 - Qiao Xin's Cousin
This morning Qiao Xin could only snort so many times. How could she not, earlier this morning, as usual, Xiao Long asked her to wash his hair, wash his face and brush his teeth, which Qiao Xin thought Xiao Long's toothbrush was more than capable of. But it seems like her husband will never let her live a quiet life for once. How not, what her husband did was provoke things that made her emotional. She was acting strange by threatening if her husband's illness was because of it.
Qiao Xin took a deep breath, then she sat down sweetly at her workplace, looking at Mei, who was now watching her with an inquisitive expression on her face.
"How?" asked Mei. Qiao Xin couldn't help but snort, rolled her eyes in exasperation then put down her bag and cell phone.
Mei glanced at Qiao Xin's cellphone, then she screamed in surprise and took Qiao Xin's cellphone.
"Oh my God, Qiao Xin. Where did you get something this expensive?" Mei asked in quite a loud voice, making their co-workers immediately look at Mei and Qiao Xin with annoyed expressions on their faces.
Qiao Xin immediately grabbed her cellphone, and it was nothing. It's just that she didn't want Mei to go through her cellphone and find the wallpaper and whatever was there, which was animation from her marriage to Xiao Long. Qiao Xin snorted again, and Xiao Long seemed to be working on her to perfection. Luckily, Qiao Xin was able to cover up the word engraving on the phone's back case by buying a cell phone case at the store.
"You know, Qiao Xin, this phone of yours is the best brand. What's more, this phone of yours doesn't even seem to have been launched at all. What type of phone is this of yours?" asked Mei. Qiao Xin was silent, and she also didn't understand the cellphone that Xiao Long had given her. Even Qiao Xin didn't know how expensive the phone was either.
But Qiao Xin was shocked again when her cellphone was suddenly snatched away by Li Xuan perfectly. Qiao Xin could only shriek in surprise and took her phone back.
What's with everyone here? Just by looking at Qiao Xin's cell phone, everyone here looked flabbergasted.
"Miss Liu, where did you get that cell phone from?" Li Xuan investigated. Qiao Xin also seemed to swallow her saliva with difficulty. How not, Li Xuan has a high position in the Han Corporation, more than that Li Xuan is a friend of Xiao Long.
"Oh, that, that I am," Qiao Xin stuttered.
"You know, this phone is not even planned to be launched in two years, because now it is still in the production stage as well as software refinement. This phone is also not a random cell phone, it will only be produced in small quantities at a very expensive price, moreover, it seems that the cellphone is a trial phone given by Hay-Tech to Han Corporation, which is usually only given to the CEO of Han Corporation. . So, how did you come to possess something as important as this, Miss Liu?"
Qiao Xin seemed to be shaking, cold sweat dripping down her body very noticeably. She had no idea that Li Xuan would be this observant. What should Qiao Xin say? What should she answer to make everyone unsuspect her that he might have a relationship with Xiao Long.
"What is it?"
Xuan Cheng also came, making Qiao Xin curse herself even more. How could she not? Yesterday Xuan Cheng had given her a cell phone and refused. If Xuan Cheng finds out this cellphone is Qiao Xin's, then her history is over now.
"Here, Miss Liu has a trial phone belonging to Han Corporation with Hay-Tech. when only Xiao Long should be able to hold it and should not be shown to everyone. How come Miss Liu is holding onto an important product belonging to the Han Corporation which is still two years away from launching?"
Xuan Cheng looked at Qiao Xin with a curious look on his face, making Mei also feel sorry for her best friend.
"Yesterday when Qiao Xin called me and was excused from work, she said that the cellphone was a gift from her cousin,"
"Yes!" Qiao Xin quickly replied. She felt lucky that Mei was here to help her when Qiao Xin was in trouble like this. "Actually, this cell phone was a gift from my cousin, and coincidentally my cousin works at the Han Corporation and it also happens that my cousin is close to the CEO of the Han Corporation. Since Mr. Han didn't think he needed much, he gave one to my cousin. Since my cousin already had a cell phone, he gave it to me. Because he knows that my cell phone is broken," explained Qiao Xin. She also seemed to close her eyes, hoping that Li Xuan and Xuan Cheng would believe it.
"Who's your cousin? Who is close to Xiao Long? Because I feel at the company, Xiao Long is not close to any employees. where dare employees get close to him? Even walking a meter near Xiao Long they would freeze to death because of Xiao Long's cold attitude."
Qiao Xin smiled bitterly. Unfortunately, she didn't take this into account. What Li Xuan said was true. After all, Xiao Long's temper was terrible in everyone's eyes.
"After all, this phone is a couple's phone. Although it can be used for children and parents, as well as others. But this is indeed for a couple, who—"
"Never mind, Xuan. What are you talking about right now?" Xuan Cheng immediately put his arm around Li Xuan, making his best friend barely breathe because of it.
"What are you doing, Cheng?"
"What are you doing? Being at your employee's desk so early just investigating this phone? I know indeed this phone is an unlaunched phone and a test phone. But you also know who Xiao Long is right? he usually never cares and is never afraid that his products will be plagiarized, maybe what Qiao Xin said is true. After all, Xiao Long already has a lot of cell phones. So, why keep multiple phones at home? Wouldn't it be better to give it to someone who needed it more? You're thinking too much, Xuan. It's not you at all, don't you usually think about women only?"
"But-"
"Come on, let's go to your room."
Xuan Cheng seemed to smile, looking at Qiao Xin. Honestly, he was pretty shocked to see Qiao Xin's cell phone. However, he also didn't dare to accuse Li Xuan now. He was still waiting. He still needed proof of these oddities.
On the other hand, Qiao Xin could only rest her head on the table. By this early morning, the two directors seemed to have made her heart nearly stop completely. How could they always bother her, especially since Qiao Xin's damn cell phone was causing so much trouble?
Qiao Xin glanced at her cell phone. A Demon Lord's name was printed on it very vividly. Xiao Long, what's wrong with her husband now? Why is her husband so happy to bother her?
"Couldn't you have called me when we were out of the house? You are so annoying!" annoyed Qiao Xin after picking up her phone.
"Qiqi, what are you talking about? Why are you so angry at this time? You know, an ugly duckling like you if you get angry in the morning will get a thousand wrinkles on your face as well as black spots. Are you going to turn into an ugly duckling that looks like ashes?"
"You—" Qiao Xin tried her best to contain her emotions. She just realized that beside her now, there was Mei, who seemed to be looking at her with that curious gaze.
"Tao is outside the company, meet him because I entrust something to him. Oh yeah, don't ever dare to go home before Tao picks you up later. If you don't, I'll come to pick you up myself!"
"Hello, hello!"
Xiao Long immediately hung up the phone, making Qiao Xin even more heated by it. Qiao Xin couldn't help but sigh again and again because of her irritation towards Xiao Long,
"Who? Is that your cousin?" Mei asked then. Qiao Xin seemed to turn her head. What did she answer other than nodding? Qiao Xin couldn't say that it was her husband who called her. "You never told me that your cousin worked at the Han Corporation and was close to CEO Han until you were given a cell phone that shocked even the two big directors here. You really are quite surprising, Qiao Xin."
"Never mind, I have to meet my cousin first. I think I have a headache right now."
Qiao Xin rushed out, and she couldn't possibly be honest about who she was going to meet. Qiao Xin quickly left the company. It made Mei look curious as to who the cousin of Qiao Xin was. Yes, Mei wants to see his face. The fact that a few nights ago was covered by a helmet and made Mei quite curious, only the size of the letter H on the collar of the shirt and the ends of the sleeves made Mei quite curious about the figure of a cousin of Qiao Xin.
"Mei, where are you going?" asked Li Xuan, who seemed to be out with Xuan Cheng.
"Oh Mr. Li, I was in the mood to take a peek at Qiao Xin. She said his cousin came to see her," answered Mei.
Xuan Cheng and Li Xuan immediately looked at each other as if they were curious as well.
"Are we going to take a peek as well to see who Miss Liu's cousin is to make us so curious like this?"
"Hurry down or else we'll be left behind."
The three of them immediately rushed down, got into the elevator in a hurry, and then ran as hard as they could to the outside parking lot after that. After they were outside, they seemed to be looking for Qiao Xin's whereabouts until Xuan Cheng immediately grabbed Li Xuan's hand to hide behind the bushes. Mei also followed them, perfectly hiding behind the bushes.
"That car isn't the Han Corporation's company car?" Li Xuan asked.
"It's a car that Xiao Long often uses," added Xuan Cheng.
The two of them seemed to want to guess if Qiao Xin had a relationship with Xiao Long. But their eyes caught a familiar figure at all.
"Is he Qiao Xin's cousin?" asked Mei. How could she not, she knew the figure standing with Qiao Xin, but that figure had a different posture from the one wearing the helmet that night. How not, Mei knows very well. Standing up, Qiao Xin was only the man's shoulder that night, while now Qiao Xin was the ear of the man. His body was not as stout as the figure that night, and his clothes were not as expensive as those of the men.
Xuan Cheng and Li Xuan seemed to be scrambling to see who the figure standing in front of Qiao Xin was, and when they saw them, they were immediately shocked. How not? That figure is Xiao Long's confidant.
"What, Tao?! So Tao is Miss Liu's cousin?!" shrieked Li Xuan in shock, half to death.
