"Just divorced, it's understandable to have such an attitude."
Qiao Ziqian crossed his arms and lazily swung his feet. "Tell me, why bother? You went through so much to pursue my elder brother. Why didn't you ever look at me? Alas, a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea."
He shrugged, looking like someone who had been wronged.
Tang Wanxing paid no mind to Qiao Ziqian's words. She sat on the sofa, scrolling through Weibo on her phone, reading the netizens' scolding of Meng Jingwei under the trending topic.
"Shameless, she's already with another man right after her divorce."
"Qing Muye gave her a grand wedding and loved her so much. It's her own lack of self-discipline."
"Gold digger, not a good person."
"Meng Jingwei, why don't you just die!"
"Will you die if you're without a man?"
"I suspect your brains are messed up. They've already said it was a peaceful divorce, so why are you all so worked up? Besides, isn't Qing Muye pursuing Actress Tang? It's okay for the powerful to start fires but not for the common people to light lamps?"
...
Tang Wanxing tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and murmured, "The Weibo incident has been brewing for so long, and your elder brother hasn't come out to clarify. Does that mean he really doesn't love Meng Jingwei anymore?"
Thinking of this, a hint of joy bloomed in her heart.
Qiao Ziqian shook his head. "You should ask my elder brother, not me. By the way, my elder brother knows your identity. Hasn't he been suspicious of you?"
Mentioning her identity, a smile spread across Tang Wanxing's beautiful face. "He investigated my company, but he didn't investigate me. And, I won't give him a chance to know my identity now."
*Snap!*
Qiao Ziqian looked at Tang Wanxing, snapped his fingers, and then pointed at her. "Xingxing, we really have a tacit understanding. We're of one mind."
Tang Wanxing smiled without speaking.
After a while, Tang Wanxing raised her phone. "Don't make a sound. I'll give her a call."
As she spoke, she had already dialed Meng Jingwei's phone number.
*Beep, beep, beep—*
The phone rang several times, but the other party showed no intention of answering.
At that moment, Meng Jingwei was brushing her teeth with one hand and holding her phone with the other. Looking at Tang Wanxing's number flashing on the screen, she could almost feel a sense of conspiracy washing over her.
She didn't answer the first call and couldn't be bothered to.
But after the call automatically hung up, a second call came in.
In a bad mood, Meng Jingwei hung up Tang Wanxing's call again and casually placed her phone on the table.
She turned to continue washing up in the bathroom, but her phone kept ringing.
She rinsed her mouth, wiped the water from her lips with a towel, turned around, picked up her phone, and answered directly, "Is there something you need?"
Meng Jingwei retorted irritably.
"Boss... Boss, I have a lead on what you asked me to investigate."
Qi He's voice came from the other end of the line.
The moment she heard his voice, Meng Jingwei pulled her phone in front of her to check. When she confirmed it was Qi He, she couldn't help but pout. "Sorry, I made a mistake. I thought you were someone else."
"...It's fine."
Qi He's expression was dark, and he shook his head innocently before continuing, "I've checked President Qing's current situation. His companies are all being suppressed by Qing Sihui to varying degrees, and there seems to be Qing Kangyu's covert instigation. President Qing's companies are confirmed to have a capital deficit, and the situation is somewhat tricky. I'll send the specific details to your email."
"Wait..."
Meng Jingwei touched her forehead, contemplating Qi He's words. "You said Qing Kangyu was covertly instigating?"
He was Qing Muye's father. Why would he help Qing Sihui?
