Chapter 681: “Honor”

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After using the toilet as an excuse to escape, Chi Hanjing could only pretend to go to the toilet and return to her seat.

From the time she came out to the time she returned to her seat, Boss Qian’s gaze could be said to be undisguised. It was like a venomous snake was glued to her.

When she sat back down, Boss Qian touched her leg this time.

“You—” Chi Hanjing couldn’t take it anymore and was about to speak.

Han Zheng interrupted her. “Chi Hanjing, Boss Qian is giving you a chance.”

“The resources that many people can’t obtain can be decided with a word from Boss Qian,” he emphasized.

These words made Chi Hanjing’s hand, which was about to stop him, pause and fall into hesitation.

He could decide with just one sentence… Did that mean that if she didn’t cooperate well, she wouldn’t be able to be the female lead?

Chi Hanjing was not a fool. She understood what Han Zheng meant.

She had worked so hard for so long and finally obtained her first female lead role-

Chi Hanjing’s hand, which was about to push the other party away, slowly clenched into a fist. Her nails trembled slightly when they dug into her flesh, but her gaze landed on Boss Qian’s fat, greasy “pig hand” with a jade ring. After a moment of silence, she slowly sat back down under the gazes of Han Zheng and Boss Qian.

Chi Hanjing closed her eyes and forced a smile on her face as she spoke like a robot.

“It’s my honor that Boss Qian appreciates me.”

As soon as she said this, two extremely happy laughter sounded in the private room.

Fragments of starlight swayed in the night sky, looking like they were about to fall asleep. Occasionally, they would flicker twice before disappearing like they were hidden in the darkness, obliterating their existence.

The bleak evening wind seemed to have triggered its temper tonight. It was mixed with a temperature that made one cower. It quickly blew past the pedestrians, causing the corners of their clothes to flutter as it swept through the entire street.

A black car slowly stopped at the entrance of Yunyue Hotel. The man who pushed open the car door first had broad shoulders and long legs. He had an extraordinary aura and attracted the attention of the girls by the roadside with just a glance.

He looked like a rich second-generation heir, and even made some girls eager to approach him. They wondered if there would be a romantic encounter tonight, but their fantasies were shattered by the man’s actions.

After the other party got out of the car, he turned to the front passenger seat and opened the door to protect the girl inside.

That action and appearance were like a huge dragon guarding the treasure in his arms seriously and domineeringly, not allowing others to peek at it.

“It’s too cold outside. Put this coat on. Don’t catch a cold.” Huo Yichen unfolded the clothes in the backseat and wrapped them around Murong Qiao.

Murong Qiao obediently lowered her head to make it easier for Huo Yichen to move.

She had arranged a meal with Xian Yu today and the venue was at Yunyue Hotel.

Huo Yichen seriously wrapped another scarf around her neck. “Send me a message after you’re done eating. I’ll pick you up when I’m free. If not, I’ll get Ye Zhen to come over.”

“I know, I know—” Murong Qiao dragged her voice helplessly and amusedly. “You’re behaving a little like my Big Brother.”

When she first returned to the Murong Family, Murong Chen sometimes reminded her so carefully as well.

Huo Yichen raised his eyebrows. “I wish I could be by your side at any time.”

This saved him the trouble of thinking about what the other party was doing and whether she had encountered trouble.

Unfortunately, the Huo Corporation was busy, and the board of directors was not very obedient. They still needed Huo Yichen to work.

“Alright.” Murong Qiao tiptoed and kissed Huo Yichen’s lips. “Then I’ll go in?”

Huo Yichen resisted the urge to mess up her hair and nodded as he watched her walk in.

Murong Qiao was the one who arrived late, so he couldn’t help but quicken her pace after saying goodbye to Huo Yichen.

She had been to Yunyue Hotel a few times before, so she was familiar with the layout. In a few steps, she arrived at the private room where she and Fifth Brother Xian Yu had arranged to meet.

As soon as she pushed open the door and walked in, she saw Xian Yu playing with his cell phone on a chair. There was already steaming food on the table.

“Are you done with that fellow?” Xian Yu asked the moment his Little Sister entered.

He ignored the game still playing on his phone and turned off the screen and threw it aside. He looked at his Little Sister, who had walked in, and helped pull out the chair beside him so that the other party could sit down.

Murong Qiao blushed. “Ahem, Brother, how did you know?”

“Here.” Xian Yu casually pointed at the small balcony behind him. “That scenery is not bad.”

Before his Little Sister came, Xian Yu was resting on the balcony when he happened to see Huo Yichen sending her to the hotel.

The sweetness made his teeth ache. Xian Yu didn’t look at it for long.

“These are all your favorite dishes. Shall we talk while eating?” He reached out with his chopsticks and picked up a piece of crispy meat for Murong Qiao.

Murong Qiao nodded naturally. “Sure.”

“I heard from Tang Huai that you went to look for him about his treatment,” Xian Yu spoke first.

He often played games with Tang Huai, so Xian Yu naturally knew that his Little Sister had gone to the club.

Murong Qiao replied, admitting, “I’ve been there once.”

“It’s just that I feel…” She hesitated for a moment. “He’s not very willing to receive treatment.”

Xian Yu’s understanding of this could be said to be much deeper than his Little Sister.

He saw that Murong Qiao was only talking and didn’t eat much. Instead, she was distracted. He picked up more food for his Little Sister.

He felt that after not looking at her for a while, Qiaoqiao’s chin had sharpened a little. She seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

“Eat more,” Xian Yu said as he added more meat to his Little Sister’s bowl.

Seeing that the bowl was about to pile up into a small mountain, Murong Qiao hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls.

“Tang Huai’s matter… has a long way to go.” Xian Yu sighed.

“Let’s not talk about anything else. Just based on the fact that during the treatment, he can’t touch racing cars, it can feel even worse than asking an addict to quit.”

It was not like Xian Yu didn’t know Tang Huai’s love and feelings for racing.

However, it was precisely because he knew that he felt that the treatment was difficult.

“Then let the water penetrate the stone.” Murong Qiao had finally gotten over it.

She ate the food with a calm expression. This answer showed that she had already made up her mind.

“But I didn’t ask Fifth Brother out for a meal just for this matter.”

Murong Qiao took out her phone and played the variety show video of Xian Yu and Nan Jin that she had seen previously.

Just from the sound of it, Xian Yu recognized which variety show he had participated in.

He was calm and composed. “Why did you suddenly put this here?”

Murong Qiao looked at her Fifth Brother and saw that Xian Yu didn’t look guilty at all. She suddenly felt like laughing.

Hence, she laughed out loud. This sound made Xian Yu’s heart skip a beat.

“Why are you still secretly making things difficult for him, Big Brother?” Murong Qiao took the initiative to say helplessly.

With her understanding of her Fifth Brother’s personality and style, which variety show he had participated in in the past didn’t have top-notch results? As soon as it was broadcasted, it would occupy the trending list.

But only this time, when he was with Nan Jin, he came in last.

Xian Yu snorted. “He didn’t treat you well in the past.”

From Xian Yu’s point of view, he also knew some of his Little Sister’s experiences when she returned to the Murong Family. Nan Jin must have had a part in the suffering and suppression she suffered in the Nan Family.

“Compared to what he did to you in the past, I think this is considered light.” Xian Yu didn’t feel that he had gone overboard at all.

Hearing him say this, Murong Qiao’s heart softened. “He’s not that bad to me.”

“It’s enough to tease him once or twice. It doesn’t matter now anyway,” Murong Qiao said to Xian Yu.

She said this naturally because she wanted Xian Yu not to ruin Nan Jin like that, even though it was harmless.

However, when Murong Qiao’s words landed in Xian Yu’s ears, the meaning changed.

It doesn’t matter = Nan Jin was not considered a Big Brother = he, Xian Yu, was Qiaoqiao’s real Big Brother. Nan Jin was someone that didn’t matter.

The smile on Xian Yu’s face widened. “Alright, alright, alright. I’ll listen to you..”
