Chapter 285: Picked A Quarrel
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Tang Xi looked at the calm face of Qin Xinying, and suddenly understood why she didn’t see through her before. It was not because she was stupid, but because Qin Xinying was too good at acting. She wasn’t guilty at all to people who she had betrayed.
Tang Xi told herself not to be angry and keep her countenance. She smiled, pulled out the chair opposite to Qin Xinying and sat down before she looked directly at Qin Xinying. “Didn’t Miss Qin tell me a girl called Tang Xi set me up in order to get Qiao Liang? So I investigated this girl without telling Qiao Liang… and guess what? I found out about something very interesting. Do you want to hear about it, Miss Qin?”
Qin Xinying could tell from Tang Xi’s look that she didn’t come with kind intentions. Of course she wouldn’t waste time on Tang Xi, so she stood up and signaled her to leave. “Not interested. Please leave.”
Tang Xi leaned back, raised her chin and stared at Qin Xinying with a smile. “It’s not up to you.”
Qin Xinying scowled and stared coldly at Tang Xi. “Miss Xiao, I’ve told you it’s between you and Tang Xi. If you have any problems with her, go talk to her. I just take orders from her. I’m busy and I don’t have time for you!”
Tang Xi smiled, raised her eyebrows and looked at the shut laptop on the table as she asked, “Are you viewing the design drawings you bought?”
Qin Xinying’s dark face immediately turned stiff. She glared darkly at Tang Xi and shouted coldly, “I don’t know what you’re talking about! If you came here for the dispute between you and Tang Xi, please leave. I have no interest in your dispute. If you don’t get out now, I’ll call the security guards!”

“Do you think the security guards will take orders from you?” Tang Xi sneered and looked at Qin Xinying who dodged her gaze. “I’m really sorry for Tang Xi for having a friend like you. You stole her design drawings and gained the title of so called ‘genius designer’. Now you even planted what you did on her. What do you think will happen to you if Tang Xi comes to know that you love the man she loves?”
Qin Xinying turned pale. She abruptly stared at Tang Xi and said darkly, “Nonsense!”
Qin Xinying clenched her fists and coldly glared at Tang Xi. “I tell you now Tang Xi won’t believe what you say, and you’ll never be able to see her! She definitely won’t see you!”
Upon hearing her words, Tang Xi felt her heart freeze. It seemed that she guessed right. Qin Xinying knew she had died and played a part in her death.
“I can never see her or she doesn’t want to see me?” Tang Xi asked so calmly that Qin Xinying was a bit scared.
She sat down and took a deep breath. “Miss Xiao, I’m busy. Please leave my office. I’m not interested in the romance between the three of you at all. If you still refuse to go…”
“Then what?!” Tang Xi lunged to her feet, put both palms on the table to support her body and looked down at Qin Xinying. “Kill me? Just like you killed Tang Xi?”
Qin Xinying turned ghastly pale. She felt Tang Xi’s eyes were so sharp, it caused her to be unable to breathe. She moved looked away and coldly said, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about!”
Tang Xi smiled and looked at Qin Xinying as she said with a faint smile, “Okay, since you don’t understand what I said, let me make myself clear. I came here to warn you to stay away from Qiao Liang! You don’t deserve him! Never show up in front of him in the future. If I find you coveting him again, I’ll gouge your eyes out. Then you won’t be able to see anything in this world, let alone Qiao Liang! And! I’ll let you know what you will get from trying to steal another’s man!”

“You think you can do whatever you want with Qiao Liang behind you?!” Qin Xinying jumped up and glared at Tang Xi before coldly saying, “I tell you now, life is long. We never know who will have the last laugh!”
Smack!
Tang Xi slapped Qin Xinying, and the latter stared at Tang Xi in shock. When she was about to slap Tang Xi back, Tang Xi stepped back, stumbled and fell to the ground. Qin Xinying rushed up and was about to beat her, when the office door was pushed open and Qiao Liang’s icy voice rang out. “What are you doing!”
Qin Xinying’s hand was up in the air. She didn’t know how to explain and looked at Qiao Liang blankly. When she was about to explain, Qiao Liang rushed up to Tang Xi, supported her up and glared at Qin Xinying with a murderous look as he questioned coldly, “What did you do to her?!”
Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang pitifully and her eyes had turned red. She sobbed. “Ah Liang, I just came here to ask Miss Qin something about Miss Tang, but she was so angry and even wanted to beat me. I… you know I was just out of hospital, and I’m still feeble…”
“That’s a bloody lie!” Qin Xinying shouted. “Bullshit! You beat me first!”
“What?” Qiao Liang stared coldly at Qin Xinying and asked, “You mean that what I saw just now is my illusion?”
“Qiao Liang… I…” Qin Xinying looked at Qiao Liang sadly, she looked so pitiful and beautiful, but Qiao Liang showed no tenderness to her at all. “Miss Qin, we’re in the company. I hope you call me President Qiao.”
Tears came out of Qin Xinying’s eyes and she was about to speak, when Qiao Liang said, “And I hope you don’t talk about or even mention Tang Xi again. I don’t want to hear you call her name again! You don’t deserve to mention her!”
“Then what about you?” Qin Xinying roared. “What about her?!” She pointed at Tang Xi and snapped. “Now there is only this woman in your heart, so you just let her insult Tang Xi, right? How sad Tang Xi will be if she knows you treat her like this?! Have you forgotten what Tang Xi had done for you?”
“That’s between Tang Xi and Qiao Liang, and is none of your business! You are just an outsider to them.” Tang Xi dragged Qiao Liang behind her and said word by word, “Now Qiao Liang is my man. No one can covet him. If Tang Xi has any problem with this, you can ask her to come straight to me. You’re not in a position to talk about Tang Xi with us!”
