Listening to Qin Xinying's words, Tang Xi was surprised to find that she felt nothing. He thought he would be sad when he heard Qin Xinying tried to frame him, but to his surprise, he was not sad at all. He put the phone to his ear and took a deep breath, saying, "Miss Qin, aren't you afraid of me as well? That's why you hid behind Xiao Jinning and didn't dare to appear, right?”

When Tang Xi said this, the other side of the line fell silent. No one spoke for a long time. Tang Xi pursed her lips and then said, "What? Miss Qin, are you so afraid of me? You become too afraid to say anything just hearing my voice?”

Sitting in his office, Qin Xinying brought her Phone closer to his eyes to look at the screen carefully and made sure it was Xiao Jinning's phone number, after which she took a deep breath, taking a deep breath, put the phone back into his ear and asked, "Why is that you?”

"Because I answered the phone. Surprised, Miss Qin?" Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang as she held the phone in her left hand and firmly grasped Qiao Liang's hand in her right. "Miss Qin, I'm the one you're trying to frame, so why can't I answer the phone? Besides, even though Xiao Jinning and I are enemies, he is not a fool who will be easily manipulated by you.”

There was a long silence on the other side of the line again. After a while, Qin Xinying softened her tone and said, "Miss Xiao Rou, I think there must be a misunderstanding between us. I never meant to target you..."

Hearing this, Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and was about to speak, when Qiao Liang, sitting beside her, took the phone from her and pressed the hands-free button. Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, which Qiao Liang responded by nodding and handing the phone back to him. He smiled at her as he took over the phone and continued talking. "Misunderstanding? Miss Qin, Will you say that the words I just heard are only my imagination?”

"No, of course I didn't mean that." Qin Xinying replied, then she kept quiet for a while before continuing, "I am Xixi's best friend. I came to work in A city because Xixi asked me to keep an eye on Qiao Liang for her. Now that you and Qiao Liang are together, I will definitely tell him about this. I told you how strong he is. Average people like you and I can't compete with him. Now he wants me to deal with you, and I can't say no to him..."

As Qin Xinying's voice rang from the phone, Qiao Liang's face became darker and darker with each word he spoke, while Tang Xi looked even more angry and angrier as well. After Qin Xinying finished, Tang Xi gave a cold snort and said, "Tang Xi is really unlucky to have a good friend like you who can't help her keep her boyfriend, she said, that messed up the task he set and now even betrayed him!”

Tang Xi stopped and then continued, "I wonder how much Qiao Liang will hate you and Tang Xi after I tell her what you told me..."

"Xixi also loves Qiao Liang!" Qin Xinying replied. "If you want to say this to Qiao Liang, please don't mention Tang Xi. You can tell him it was all my idea and had nothing to do with Tang Xi! Please!”

"OKAY. I'm so touched by your loyalty to your good friend that I'll tell Qiao Liang that you like him, which is why you want to get rid of me. I won't mention Tang Xi, don't worry," Tang Xi replied casually.

At his side, Qin Xinying, who was sitting on the office chair, jumped to her feet angrily when she heard Tang Xi's words. It took him a long time to calm down and, gritting his teeth, he said, "Thank you, Miss Xiao. But I want to remind you that Tang Xi is the little princess of the Empire Group that even the Qiao International group cannot rival, so please think again if you really want to be with Qiao Liang. Otherwise, Tang Xi might do something terrible to you, something you don't want to hear.”

At his side, Qin Xinying hung up the phone and swept all the items on the table onto the ground. After a while, he placed both of his hands on the table to support his body, took a deep breath, looked at the floor in front of him and said viciously, "Xiao Rou, we'll see. I'll make you pay for what you told me today!”

Tang Xi hung up the phone and looked at Qiao Liang, who looked extremely angry, even angrier than him. Tang Xi suddenly felt better. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Qiao Liang with a mischievous smile on his lips, asking, "Why do you look angrier than me? He slandered me, not you. Why is your face black like bamboo charcoal?”

Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi and frowned. "Can't you leave that woman to me?" She asked.

Tang Xi stopped. Hand him over to her? Then will he see in the news tomorrow morning that a famous designer was killed and his body dumped in the wilderness? Thinking of this possibility, Tang Xi hurriedly shook her head and replied, "No. Although Qin Xinying knew me very well, she did not know Xiao Rou, while I, now as Xiao Rou, knew her very well. I know a lot of secrets that others don't know. If he dares to mess with me, I will make him regret it for the rest of his life.”

Qiao Liang frowned and was about to speak, as Tang Xi grabbed his hand and continued speaking. "I know Qin Xinying is a threat to us. I might have been killed by him if I wasn't careful enough, but I can't touch him now. I can't kill him just because he's my potential romantic rival, can I?”

"As much as you are," Qiao Liang replied, looking at Tang Xi affectionately.

Knowing that he was confident, Tang Xi smiled at Qiao Liang and winked. "Don't worry," he said. "I've decided that I won't give up again, because it might hurt me, and grandpa.”

During his time at Qiao's international group Design Department, Qin Xinying came out of the designer's office in particular while holding a cell phone and told her assistant to clean the office before walking to the roof. On the roof, he dialed the phone number and the other party answered the phone after a while. As soon as the call connected, he couldn't wait to ask, "Did you find Tang Xi or not?! Why haven't you answered my phone lately!”

The man on the other side of the phone only managed to say, "I.

Hearing the busy tone coming from the phone, Qin Xinying frowned and called again, but the other party had turned off the phone.

Xiao Jinning kicked the ground under his feet furiously. Goddamnit! What's wrong with these people?
