Chapter 491 - I Am That Woman (2/2)
Seeing the stack of bulging yellow envelopes in front of her, Qiao Nan gave a sigh as she looked at Qiu Chenxi. “What do you mean by this?”
“I’d like to buy some information from you.” Qiu Chenxi wore a pair of sungla.s.ses. She pursed her lips as she looked at Qiao Nan arrogantly. “I heard that you ranked first in the cohort again. Congratulations.”
“Thank you.” Qiao Nan brushed her fringe. “Most likely, there’s nothing that I can help you with.”
“No, as long as you’re willing to, you’ll definitely be able to help me. You know who that woman is, don’t you?”
“…” In the face of this abrupt and clueless question from Qiu Chenxi, Qiao Nan actually understood what she was inquiring about. “I don’t know.”
“You know!”
“Why is it that I must know?” Was something written on her face?
Qiu Chenxi took a deep breath. “You’re a woman too. You should know how I feel. Brother Zhai and I are childhood sweethearts. Our relations.h.i.+p of more than ten years is now broken by a third party. In the future, if you encounter the same situation, you will know my difficulties now. I only wish to safeguard my relations.h.i.+p. Am I wrong in doing that? That woman came between Brother Zhai and me. Is it right for her to do that? Both of us are women. Qiao Nan, I hope you can help me with this. As long as you’re willing to tell me who that woman is or give me some clues, all this money will be yours. You need them very much, don’t you?”
Qiao Nan sneered. “A gentleman who desires wealth makes it in good ways. Regarding the situation between Brother Zhai and you, it seems that opinions differ. After all, your account of the story is different from that of Brother Zhai and Auntie Miao. Also, Miss Qiu, don’t forget one thing. That day, when you slammed at my door and scolded me vixen, didn’t you already know who Brother Zhai liked? Today, you’re spending this sum of money to buy information from me? What do you mean by this?”
Qiu Chenxi gritted her teeth while enduring the humiliation. “I apologize to you about what happened that day. I’ll say sorry. Will that do? It’s my fault. I clearly knew that you’re not that woman, and… But you have to be more understanding. I’ve been driven mad. I was so close to Brother Zhai. When I found out suddenly that he had betrayed and deserted me, I was looking for that woman crazily. You’re an innocent party that had been implicated. It’s my mistake. Sorry, I’m really sorry.”
Those few words of apologies made Qiu Chenxi tear up uncontrollably as if she was in a state of suffering.
That love-struck and forlorn performance, as if she was attacked by the vixen and abandoned by her lover, was portrayed very vividly and depicted in a detailed manner.
If Qiao Nan did not know the truth from the beginning until the end, from Qiu Chenxi’s one-sided narration alone, Qiao Nan would begin to suspect if she was the third party that stood in Qiu Chenxi’s way.
It was only until this moment that Qiao Nan began to believe that Qiu Chenxi not only graduated from college but also a top-tier one. This type of speech and expression was not something that an ordinary person could manage.
If not because it was inappropriate, Qiao Nan would ask Qiu Chenxi if she majored in acting or performance when she was in college.
Qiao Nan let out a breath and straightened the thoughts that had almost been led astray by Qiu Chenxi. She pushed the money back to Qiu Chenxi. “I won’t take the money. Initially, I have nothing to say to you, but instead of letting you continue to pester me, I can only tell you that the woman you’ve been looking for is me. It’s me. It’s me. Will that do? If not, you can come to my house to argue and create a fuss next time. You’ll see if the outcome is what you wish for. How about it?”
