Chapter 134: Meeting

Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

Xiao Jinning was successful in the entertainment industry for a very long time. She hadn’t just relied on the influence of the Liu Family and the Xiao Family; she had also had some common sense herself. Hearing Qin Xinying’s words, she stood up with a sneer and said, “I don’t need your help.”

She knew that there was no such thing as free lunch. Although this woman had only said a few words, she could tell that she didn’t like Xiao Rou and even hated her as much as she herself did. How could Qin Xinying condescendingly just say to her that she could help her?

Well, although she was not very clever, she knew that this woman was trying to use her. Yes, she wanted to deal with Xiao Rou, but that was her own affair, and she wouldn’t follow the commands of this woman.

Seeing Xiao Jinning stand up, Qin Xinying smiled as she changed to a sitting position, looked casually at Xiao Jinning’s back and moved her red lips, saying, “Miss Yao, accepting my offer won’t affect you handling Xiao Rou, right? Why don’t you accept since you’ll be dealing with her anyway?”

Xiao Jinning stopped her footsteps, looked back at Qin Xinying deeply, and asked with a frown, “Who are you? What do you want to do?”

Qin Xinying looked at the seat opposite her, took out a name card from her handbag and indicated for Xiao Jinning to sit down. The latter looked at Qin Xinying before walking over to pull up the chair and sit down again. Qin Xinying handed her name card to Xiao Jinning and said, “Here’s my name card. You can have a look.”

Xiao Jinning hesitantly took the name card on the table and took a look at it, following which a glimmer of surprise flickered across her eyes. She raised her eyes to look at Qin Xinying and asked, “Qiao’s International Group?”

Qin Xinying smiled and didn’t speak, admitting her identity. Xiao Jinning continued to look at her name card. When she saw the name “Qin Xinying”, her eyes became wide open and she looked at Qin Xinying in disbelief. “You’re Designer Qin?”

Nowadays there weren’t many famous domestic designers, but the name of Qin Xinying had been heard of by most domestic female stars because she was internationally famous for a pair of shoes she designed. She didn’t have her own brand because she said she was just a clothing designer, not a brand founder. What she wanted to do was to design rather than to do management work. Her words drew the praise of many designers at home and abroad, so many foreign designers intimately called her Designer Qin instead of calling her by name when meeting her.

Qin Xinying used to work for the costume design department of Empire Group and designed several popular clothes. During this period, she also designed jewelry that was also unanimously recognized by the international fashionistas.

In recent months, Xiao Jinning hadn’t heard any news about Qin Xinying. She had thought this talented designer’s inspiration had dried up, but to her surprise, she had quitted Empire Group and was working for Qiao’s International Group which was also very powerful, especially in City A...

Clothing, shoes and jewelry were what every woman yearned for. Xiao Jinning’s eyes turned eager as she stared at Qin Xinying. She said, “Miss Qin I like the clothes you designed very much. I bought several of your clothes and put them in my collection. I like them so much that I keep them in my wardrobe carefully instead of wearing them.”

Qin Xinying smiled and raised an eyebrow as she asked, “Really? I’m honored.” A flash of disdain flashed through her eyes.

Xiao Jinning looked at Qin Xinying with a twinkle of worship in her eyes. “I never expected to meet you in City A.” She looked at Qin Xinying’s name card. “How long will you be staying in City A?”

After all, a specially invited designer was not a real permanent employee...

A cold gleam flickered across Qin Xinying’s eyes and she sneered, “Miss Yao, do you think I can’t influence people here if I’m not in City A?”

Xiao Jinning smiled apologetically and replied, “Of course not...”

Qin Xinying was the daughter of the Qin Family in the capital. Although the Qin Family was not powerful, Qin Xinying was a good friend of Miss Tang Xi, the heiress of Empire Group, and everyone knew how powerful Empire Group was! It was an international organization which even Qiao’s International Group couldn’t rival. Its branches were almost all over the world. Tang Zhenhua, the head of Empire Group, was a legend in the business world. Not only did The New Yorker publish his special edition, but also The Times as well.

And such a great man only had a granddaughter. He ardently loved his granddaughter and would grant her whatever she requested. Everyone took delight in talking about the entertainment kingdom he built for his granddaughter and many people wanted to visit it.

Moreover, Qin Xinying happened to be a good friend of that girl who grew up in a castle and was superior to a princess in social status. More importantly, Tang Xi would also give Qin Xinying anything she requested.

Qin Xinying was very satisfied with Xiao Jinning’s reaction. She smiled and thought that being that woman’s friend was indeed beneficial. Even though she had died, she could scare those who were afraid of Empire Group even without mentioning her name. The woman in front of her, as well as the people of the design department of Qiao’s International Group, were the best examples.

At this thought, Qin Xinying suddenly felt that it was better not to disclose the news of Tang Xi’s death. Once it became known that Tang Xi had died, she would become a nobody without any backer in the eyes of outsiders. Then it would be much harder for her to accomplish anything than right now.

And...

As Qin Xinying thought back to how sweet Qiao Liang and Tang Xi had appeared when they were together, a gleam of hatred flashed through her eyes. Now the only thing with which she could win back Qiao Liang was Tang Xi’s whereabouts. She didn’t believe Qiao Liang really didn’t care about Tang Xi. He just wanted to force Tang Xi to show up by dating Xiao Rou, but she had died. How would it be possible for her to show up? Then let her create a Tang Xi!

Since he liked Tang Xi, then...

“Good.” Qin Xinying cast a deep look at Xiao Jinning and gave a faint smile, saying, “I wonder what Miss Yao plans to do with that country bumpkin named Xiao Rou?”

After checking Xiao Rou’s information, she became more certain that Qiao Liang was acting with Xiao Rou. Although she was beautiful, the Xiao Family had admitted that she was just a girl who grew up in the mountains. With the social status of the Qiao Family, how could they accept such a girl?

Moreover, she believed that a person like Qiao Liang wouldn’t do anything to disgrace his family.

...

Tang Xi saw a car at the gate of her school and then saw an “uninvited visitor” in the car. She looked at the journalists hiding around the school gate, rubbed between her eyebrows, took out a book to cover her face and then rushed towards the car. As soon as she got into the car, the car door was shut and the car sped away.

Tang Xi shouted, “We’re at school. Slow down the car!”

The man in the driver’s seat gave her a sideways look with a smile and slowed down the car, asking, “Are you sure?”

Tang Xi put her hat on his head, put her mask on his face and hummed. “Yes!”
