The next morning, the weather was gloomy. The entire city seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds.

The butler accompanied Shang Yan to the hospital for a periodic checkup and did not return for a long time.

Qu Xiao was worried that it might rain, so she asked the nanny for two umbrellas. She wanted to wait for them outside the courtyard.

Qu Xiao did not respond to her friendliness and remained silent.

Jiang Xue’er was the host’s best friend, but she was a mean person. And she had a crush on Ling Chi.

All these years, Jiang Xue’er pretended to be friends with Qu Xiao but secretly spread rumors and slandered Qu Xiao. The rumors about Qu Xiao mostly came from her.

The host did not know her true colors and would share all her secrets with Jiang Xue’er. She told Jiang Xue’er all about herself.

However, the original host of the body probably did not expect that Jiang Xue’er had been using her and even stepping on her to get close to Ling Chi.

This time, Jiang Xue’er heard that Ling Chi was detained by the police and wanted to convince Qu Xiao to save Ling Chi. That was why she came over to their house.

Qu Xiao ignored Jiang Xue’er and looked down at her phone.

Jiang Xue’er was too anxious to sit still. She leaned over, looking upset. She said in a shrill voice, “Xiao, there must be a misunderstanding between Ling Chi and Mr. Shang.”

“Do something to get him out!”

“Only you can help him now. If you are willing to testify for Ling Chi and admit that you invited him to your house, everything will be fine.”

Qu Xiao looked up at Jiang Xue’er’s urgent look. But she shook her head.

“Ling Chi’s trespassing caused trouble for me and Shang Yan. He deserves to be punished.”

“Furthermore, after 24 hours, their lawyer will go and bail them out. You don’t have to come and beg me...”

She was too stupid to tell that Qu Xiao was mocking her for being nosy.

Jiang Xue’er was shocked by Qu Xiao’s change in attitude towards Ling Chi. She pushed Qu Xiao anxiously. “No! If Ling Chi’s matter gets blown up, his family will give him a hard time. If the media finds out about it, he will probably be scolded by his father!”

Qu Xiao pushed her elbow away and stood up abruptly. She looked down at Jiang Xue’er. “Ling Chi has nothing to do with me.”

“I don’t give a da*n about whether he gets scolded or what the media says!”

“If you want to talk about this, please leave. I’m tired, and I need to rest.”

The doorbell suddenly rang and Qu Xiao ran over excitely. “Shang Yan, how is it...”

When she pushed open the door and saw Jiang Xue’er standing outside, she paused. Then she said emotionlessly, “Why is it you?”

Jiang Xue’er was all smiles as she took Qu Xiao’s arm and said intimately, “Of course I’m here to see you!”

Qu Xiao was chasing her out, but Jiang Xue’er grabbed her arm hurriedly.

As Qu Xiao was trying to break free from her grip, she pushed Jiang Xue’er away. She pushed slightly harder than she had intended, and Jiang Xue’er fell weakly to the ground.

She stared at Qu Xiao in disbelief. “How... How did you become like this?”

Jiang Xue’er met Qu Xiao’s cold eyes and was speechless.

Qu Xiao clapped her hands and looked at her with furrowed brows. She said lightly, “If you want to plead for Ling Chi, just get out of my sight!”

“As my friend, you didn’t care about how I felt, and you even tried to get me to help Ling Chi? He is the person who ruined and threatened my family! If you are his friend, then you are my enemy!”

Qu Xiao said firmly, “I’m not going to divorce Shang Yan.”

“From now on, we are no longer friends. Don’t come looking for me again. I find you pretentious and disgusting!”
