In the morning, Xin Qing had breakfast with swollen eyes. She saw Auntie Tian standing there, who was hesitating to speak.
"Auntie Tian, just say it if you have something to say!" Xin Qing was very grateful to the two elders of Ying Family. They had treated her very well.
Auntie Tian poured her a gla.s.s of milk and sighed. "If Miss didn"t have such a strong character, it"ll be fine. Then you won"t have been bickering with Young Master."
"I didn"t." Xin Qing felt that maybe Auntie Tian had misunderstood something. There was no bicker between her and Ying Qingcang. The relationship between them was like that they took advantage of each other.
"It"s just that Young Master doesn"t really know how to deal with girls. When he was young …"
"Ah Tian, don"t talk about the Young Master behind his back." Uncle Fu"s voice interrupted Aunt Tian. Xin Qing continued eating with her head lowered. She was not interested in Ying Qingcang at all.
Xin Qing really didn"t know why Ying Qingcang was so angry that he didn"t return for a long time. She was the right one who had been wronged … Xin Qing had no mood to care about him and had no right to do so.
She and Zhang Mi, Shi Qianqian, spent everyday thinking of how to find evidences to prove that Xin Yudie had stolen her design. What made them surprised was that Xin Yudie was with Du Zhekai again. They flaunted themselves in the school every day.
"Well, do you know...?" They were having lunch in the cafeteria when Zhang Mi began to gossip, "I don"t know where the news came from? It"s said that Du Zhekai is a rich kid.
"Du Family? The consortium that managed the supermarket chain? " Shi Qianqian searched the business circle"s information of S city in her mind.
Zhang Mi drank some water and shook her head, "You think too highly of him. His family had several food processing plants in the north and had only moved to S City last year. However, it seems that he has kindred to the Du Family in some way."
"If that"s the truth, it might not be Xin Yudie"s decision." Xin Qing mocked, "I"m a.s.suming that Xin Pengfei was the one who let her get close to Du Zhekai." At the same time, she felt that it was a little strange. Xin Yudie had seen Ying Qingcang and she must tell Xin Pengfei about it. With Xin Pengfei"s character, there was no reason for him to give up this big fish called Ying Qingcang and let Xin Yudie catch the shrimp called Du Zhekai.
What Xin Qing did not know was, that it was not that Xin Pengfei did not want to do that, but Ying Qingcang did not give them the chance.
When the two sc.u.ms were together, their power would be doubled. So in the afternoon, Xin Qing was once again stopped on the way she went to cla.s.s.
"Xin Qing!" Xin Yudie"s att.i.tude was very friendly. Unfortunately, Xin Qing ignored her.
Du Zhekai extended a hand to stop her. "Your elder sister has already lowered her profile. Why are you still acting like this? She always helped you to design works, and you treat her like this?"
"What …" Xin Qing couldn"t help but roll her eyes. The surrounding students all stopped to watch them. With a cold expression, Xin Qing turned around and asked Xin Yudie, "When did you take over my family?"
"Xin Qing, I didn"t." Xin Yudie said in an aggrieved tone, who was like a delicate little white flower.
Xin Qing did not even look at her, but glanced at the people around her: "You and your mother come to live in the Xin Family this summer before school started. Then please tell me, how did you help me to design my works before this?"
"I didn"t..."
"Shut up." Xin Qing interrupted her, "If you dare to design a necklace with me in front of everyone, I will admit that you are the one who taught me all the time." Xin Qing looked at Xin Yudie with smiling, "How is it? Do you dare? "
Of course, Xin Yudie did not dare to do so. She lowered her head and hid her ferocious look. She took deep breaths before raising her head and saying to Xin Qing, "I know you hate me, but I come here today to tell your that father is looking for you. He wants to see you."
With a few words, she defused what had happened just now, as if she was accusing Xin Qing of not being filial.
"I"m busy." Xin Qing threw down her words and turned to leave. She realized that she would never be able to defeat Xin Yudie in words, because she wasn"t as shameless as her who could confound right and wrong.
Originally, she thought that it would be over, but she never thought that she would receive a call from Xin Pengfei the next day.
"Xin Qing, can you go home?" Xin Pengfei said, and his att.i.tude was not very good.
"I"m busy." Xin Qing said the same words.
Xin Pengfei more or less felt that she was not giving him face, so his tone immediately changed. "If you don"t come to take the stuffs that your mother left, I will throw them all out."
Mom"s stuffs? Xin Qing frowned. She had never gone back to pack them up.
"Alright, I"ll go back after school this Friday." After hanging up, Xin Qing saw Lin Xiaoyu and Xin Yudie walking out from the back of the school building. They quickly separated, pretending that they didn"t know each other
It was actually you...
When Xin Qing returned to the dorm, Lin Xiaoyu still did not return. Zhang Mi was still muttering about finding evidence to expose Xin Yudie.
"There"s no need. I know who did it." After Xin Qing finished speaking, she sat on the bed and did not say a word.
Shi Qianqian looked at her. "Is it Lin Xiaoyu?"
"It"s her?" Zhang Mi"s eyes widened.
Xin Qing nodded: "Actually, I suspected her before, but I don"t have any evidence. Today, when I see Xin Yudie and her sneaking around, I was able to confirm it."
"When did she do it?" Zhang Mi did not know how it happened.
"Do you still remember, that once she called me go downstairs, but I saw Xin Yudie when I get there. Then I let her come back first, and you two were worried about me, so ran down to find me? "
Shi Qianqian thought for a moment. "That"s right. The time is just right. Your draft was in the dormitory at that time."
"But how did she do?" Zhang Mi did not understand, "The draft isn"t lost, and she does not have a phone. It is impossible for her to take photos."
Xin Qing laughed, "Who says she doesn"t have a phone? It"s even an expensive phone! "
"You mean she already had a phone at that time?" Zhang Mi responded.
Shi Qianqian nodded. "So that"s it."
"You suspect her too?" Xin Qing looked at her.
"Yes." Shi Qianqian hesitated. "There"s something I haven"t told you before. Do you remember Mimi changed phone last year? She said the old one was still working, so it was so pity to throw it away. But she couldn"t find it anyway. We didn"t care about it at that time."
"En, I really couldn"t find it in the end."
"It"s very coincidental." Shi Qianqian pushed the gla.s.ses on her nose. "Once, there was a traffic jam. I was in a hurry, so I had no choice but to take the subway. In the end, I saw Lin Xiaoyu in the subway with a girl. She said she had bought a phone, but the phone in her hand is the one that Mimi lost."
"She stole!" Zhang Mi covered her mouth, "Why didn"t you tell us?"
"If she just took the phone, I can understand it. The point is what she said next. She said that there were three Young Mistresses in their dorm. They were delicate and unsympathetic. The children of rich families did have no conscience. They knew she didn"t have a phone and would rather keep it than give it to her. She didn"t care and bought one herself. "
Zhang Mi was angered: "She really said that?"
Shi Qianqian nodded, and Xin Qing sighed: "We"ve been living together for two years and still don"t know that we are like this in her eyes."
They had never looked down on Lin Xiaoyu, nor did they think that their families were different since they were rich. In life, they did their best to help her without leaving a trace. For example, when they went out for dinner, they never let her pay. Xin Qing often bought chicken legs at the cafeteria because Lin Xianyu liked. Every time Zhang Mi bought some daily necessities, she would buy one more same thing for her, and even said that she bought one and got one free in the supermarket.
They never gave what they phased out to Lin Xiaoyu. Other than her birthdays, they rarely gave anything to her. In their eyes, giving what they did not use to Lin Xiaoyu was a disrespect to her.
However, Lin Xiaoyu clearly didn"t think so.
"This is also the reason why my att.i.tude towards her has cooled down this semester. In fact, from the moment she wore the gold necklace on her neck, I had the feeling that something was wrong with her. " Shi Qianqian looked at Xin Qing, "What do you plan to do? Do you want to confront her?"
Xin Qing shook her head: "It"s useless if she doesn"t admit. Even if she did, she won"t testify against Xin Yudie."
Because of the matter about Lin Xiaoyu, everyone wasn"t in a good mood. Xin Qing completely didn"t know what to do. At this time, in Ying Qingcang"s office, he was holding a few photos.
"So she is the one who photographed Xin Qing"s design draft for the people of Xin family?"
Ah Che, who was standing in front of the table, quickly nodded. "The man in the photo is Xin Pengfei"s son. Lin Xiaoyu is with him now."
Ah Che didn"t mean that they were boyfriend and girlfriend. This kind of Young Master whose family set up a company and had a bit of money changed women faster than he changed clothes.
"You go out first and call Ah Nan to come in." Ying Qingcang thought for a while before adding, "During this time, keep an eye on her."
Ying Qingcang did not want to see Xin Qing to be like that on that rainy day, when she was like a doll that would shatter by a simple touch.
"I understand." Ah Che naturally knew who his Young Master was talking about. So he nodded and left.
When he went out, Nan opened the door and came in. If looking closely, you would find that these two people looked somewhat similar. They were originally brothers. One of them was in charge of Ying Qingcang"s work, in another words, was his secretary. The other was in charge of his safety and travel.
However, Ah Nan had taken over Ah Che"s work, because Ah Che was sent to Xin Qing"s side.
"Find a jewelry company and take over it." When Ying Qingcang began to tell, Ah Nan didn"t ask the reason. He only asked: "Do you have any requests?"
Ying Qingcang thought for a while and said, "It doesn"t matter if it"s good or bad, big or small, but it has to be a clean one."
Ah Nan silently remembered it.
"After that, you immediately apply for CK"s compet.i.tion." Ying Qingcang revealed his final goal.
Ah Nan nodded and was about to leave. When he reached the door, he turned around and asked tentatively, "Should we tell Miss Xin?"
"What does it have to do with her?" Ying Qingcang"s face got sullen.
Being startled, Ah Nan quickly opened the door and ran out. He cursed his Young Master in his heart. Who would believe that! You would take over a jewelry company for no reason. Don"t tell me that you want to make jewelry for fun? It"s for Miss Xin. By this way could she partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion.
Xin Qing, who still did not know she could partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion, finally reached the end of the week. She nervously stood at the Xin Family"s entrance, not knowing what kind of att.i.tude she should use to knock on the door. This was the place where she had lived for seventeen years, and now she was like a timid stranger.
