Miss Qiao
Chapter 18: Formalizing the Bet

“Fix, fix, that's what you have to do,” Boss Li yelled guiltily as he faced off against Qiao Yue who was no longer friendly.

"Forget over. Since Boss Li won't talk, then we'll go through the judicial process!”

When Boss Li heard that Qiao Yue was talking about the judicial process involving the police, his expression instantly changed and he quickly said, “There is no need to go through the legal process. Just do as you said before. If you fail to fix it, you will have to pay me double as compensation. If you succeed..”.

Boss Li was originally fat and bald, and his facial features were small. His wrinkle made his entire face constrict, making him look like a bun with wrinkles.

!!

Qiao Yue could not bear to see his face. He replied quickly, “If I succeed, apologize to our waiter and boss in front of all the guests at this Saturday club event.”

Staring at Chu Jia who was holding her phone, Boss Li gritted his teeth and said, "Alright!"

“This will be our gamble. We need a notary.”

Boss Li still did not believe Qiao Yue could return the painting. He wanted to get double the compensation, so he asked the notary to watch their bet.

"I'll be a witness." Chu Jia stepped forward and said.

“No, you guys are in the same gang. Maybe you'll deny everything when he can't fix it.

Chu Jia hated Boss Li very much. If not for the fact that the Yayi Club was one of their unblemished businesses, he would have tied it up, put it in a sack and beat it up well.

"What if I testify?" A cold voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.

Qiao Yue's ears felt a little itchy; the voice sounded familiar.

That person then appeared from behind the half-closed door; it was Qiao Jing.

There was another man next to Qiao Jing, who was staring at Qiao Yue with a smile.

Qiao Yue was about to speak when Boss Li suddenly walked towards the two men and extended his hand, "President Qiao, President Shen, you are also here!"

The smiling man turned his gaze to Boss Li and said, "Boss Li, nice to meet you."

The man said that but did not shake hands with Boss Li, much less Qiao Jing. He did not even see Boss Li. Boss Li could only put his hands down awkwardly.

"I'll be your betting witness." Qiao Jing looked at Qiao Yue as he spoke.

“I don't mind President Qiao being his witness,” Boss Li said quickly to please Qiao Jing.

"I agree too." Qiao Yue looked at Boss Li with a smile.

"I'll bring the restored painting back here in two days."

After the bet was made, Qiao Yue did not waste any more time talking nonsense. He went straight to the studio where they recovered the relics at the club. Some recovery conservators followed.

Boss Li wanted to follow but was stopped by Chu Jia.

Chu Jia smiled fakely as she said, “Bos Li, the restoration of the relic requires a quiet environment. If Boss Li is worried, why don't you stay here for two days? Since you have bet with our club, we will waive the accommodation fee for two days.”

"Good." Boss Li's stye face grinned so wide that his eyes were nowhere to be seen.

“Then, President Qiao, President Shen, I will go up first.”

"Please, Boss Li."

Chu Jia was worried about Qiao Yue's situation, but she could not leave because there were guests.

The man referred to as President Shen probably saw Chu Jia's anxiety and said to him with a smile, “Qiao Jing and I will also leave. Miss Chu, see you in two days.”

"alright. Be careful, both of you.”

After getting inside the car, Qiao Jing glanced at the person beside her and asked, "Why are you following me?"

“Qiao Jing, is that your fifth brother?”

Qiao Jing lowered his head and hummed in agreement.

"Interesting! Didn't you say that your fifth brother isn't good at everything? I saw the certificate on the table just now. This is first class certificate!”

Qiao Jing did not reply. He also could not see through his fifth brother.

“Bos Li it's really stupid. One was Qiao Jing, and the other was Qiao Yue. You even helped Qiao Yue pass the bet. What makes him think that you are someone who will interfere in other people's affairs?”

...The man laughed so hard that he swayed. There were fools in the business world, but few were so foolish as to think that Qiao Jing would interfere in the affairs of others....

"Help me investigate Qiao Yue."

"What?" The man gripped his stomach and wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes as he asked.

“Check abroad. Contact me if there is something.”

"Of course, it doesn't matter."

The man was also curious about Qiao Yue. Even Qiao Jing could not figure out who his fifth brother was. This guy definitely deserves to be checked.
