“Vice President, I have already sent a message to Miss Liu. I don’t know if Miss Liu will send the money over.” The Assistant Qi Qi lazily leaned against Nangong Shu’s chest. Her long and slender legs were wrapped in a short slit red dress.
Nangong Shu held Qi Qi with one hand and pinched the bridge of his nose with the other. His expression was extremely impatient and even annoyed. He said, “How many days has it been? We agreed to send the money over last month, but there hasn’t been any updates!”
“That’s true. This Miss Liu likes you, but she doesn’t want to pay the price. Do you want me to continue to urge her?” Qi Qi raised her head slightly and her charming face curled into a smile. Her hand also touched Nangong Shu’s chest.
Nangong Shu grabbed Qi Qi’s wrist and helped her up. He stood up, took off his coat, and walked to the bathroom. “You can continue to urge her. I’m tired! There’s still Xiao Xue’s activity tomorrow morning. You should properly arrange it.”
“Okay then, Vice President. I’ll go back first.” Qi Qi smoothed her hair behind her ears. She was a sensible and obedient woman in Nangong Shu’s place. The reason why Nangong Shu did not hate her, was because she never wanted Nangong Shu for herslf, while Liu Qi and those women did.
“Okay,” Nangong Shu replied softly.
A few minutes later, Qi Qi returned to her room and lay on a large white bed. She opened Wechat with her finger and clicked on a person who was labeled as “Silly Woman No. 1.”
Roland: Ah Qi, are you still there? Are you alright? I’m really worried about you if you don’t say anything. I’ve lost too much money here. I’m afraid…
As she pressed the send button, Liu Qi received the message.
When Liu Qi saw this message, she did not want to reply to Nangong Shu at all. After thinking about it, she decided to reply.
Nangong Shu only wanted money at the moment. In her previous life, half of the Liu family’s financial resources were used to fill Roland’s hole and pay off Nangong Shu’s loan.
Most of them had nothing to do with the Roland Company. As Vice President, Nangong Shu often used public funds for his own personal uses. Naturally, Liu Qi was the one who filled the hole up.
Nangong Shu deeply loved Lu Xue. Although she was only an ordinary actress now, Nangong Shu still loved her very much.
Apart from the Liu family, Nangong Shu definitely had other options. However, if he did not marry someone else’s daughter, who would be willing to fill up the hole for Nangong Shu?
It seemed like she could not explicitly reject Nangong Shu. The longer she delayed, the better. If she gave Nangong Shu hope, the hole would naturally become bigger and bigger. You harmed me, I would not let you off easy either.
Cat Cat: “I’m fine. Thank you for your concern. Don’t worry, I’ll think of a way. You’re so busy over there, don’t come back.”
Roland: “Ah Qi is so sensible. Don’t worry, Ah Qi. I’ll definitely visit you when I’m free.”
Nangong Shu had never intended to return to South City, and he had never chatted with Liu Qi before. It was no wonder that when Nangong Shu met Liu Qi, he almost ignored her.
“We’re here.” A clear and loud voice sounded in her ear, and the car stopped.
Liu Qi put away her phone, unbuckled her seatbelt, and got out of the car. She hurriedly ran toward the hospital’s main entrance, and Shen Nanxiao followed behind her. Not too close and not too far.
At this time, Liu Qi’s mother had already been sent to the ward. Her body was covered in abrasions, but fortunately, it was only due to the shock that she fainted.
“Mom!”
The ward’s door was open. Liu Qi did not care about anything else and directly rushed in.
Besides her father, there was also Shen Nanxiao’s aunt, Bai Rou, who arrived earlier than her. She was a gentle and elegant noblewoman. She wore an appropriate looking royal blue cheongsam, which revealed the gentleness of a woman and the elegance of a scholar.
“Xiao Qi, your mother is fine. She just ate two mouthfuls of porridge and fell asleep. Don’t wake her up.” Bai Rou pulled her back and spoke in a gentle tone.
When Bai Rou looked at Mother Liu, she sighed slightly. When she heard the news, she was scared out of her wits and hurried over. Fortunately, she was fine.
Back then, she, her sister Bai Wen, and Mother Liu, Hu Minglan together had the best relationships. Now that her sister had passed away, she only had two best friends left. She was afraid of losing Hu Minglan too.
“Is my mother really okay?” Liu Qi stared at Mother Liu, tears welling up in her eyes. It was all her fault for provoking Nangong Shu and causing her mother to be hurt so badly.
Half an hour later, Father Liu asked Shen Nanxiao to help him send his daughter home. However, this time, they were going home to Shen Nanxiao’s villa.
After all, they had said that they would stay for a month, but they had only stayed for a couple of days.
In the car, neither of them spoke. This time, Shen Nanxiao was not in a hurry, so the driver drove.
Liu Qi looked at her phone, but she did not see any news about her mother’s car accident. Then, why did Nangong Shu know about it at the first moment.

This further proved that the car accident was not an accident. She did not even need to look to guess the license plate number of the car that hit her mother. Sure enough, her father sent her a photo of the scene of the car accident at her request.
How would she out Nangong Shu for this! Could she do something that even the police could not do? Liu Qi asked herself in her heart and gradually broke down.
If the first collision was an accident, then the second one would be a murder. She believed that Nangong Shu would not make a move against her family for the time being. She remembered that Lu Xue would be attending the red carpet event at the North City tomorrow, and this time, it would be a chance for Lu Xue to stand out.
She would never forget how Lu Xue acted in front of her and how Nangong Shu tortured her.
Wait a minute! She seemed to have forgotten something…
What was it?
The red carpet…
Suddenly, Liu Qi remembered something. She quickly opened her Wechat and found her cousin Liu Yue’s Wechat.
Cat Cat: “Sis, you’re going to walk on the red carpet tomorrow. You mustn’t wear the dress that Lu Xue gave you!”
At this moment, Liu Yue, who had received the dress, looked at this Wechat message curiously. How did Liu Qi know?
Sis: “Ah Qi, what’s wrong? Why are you saying that?”
Cat Cat: “There’s a problem with the dress. The stitches on the side are loose and will break!”
However, after the last message was sent, it showed that there was no battery left and Liu Qi’s phone had been automatically turned off.
“Shen Nanxiao, can I borrow your phone?” Liu Qi suddenly looked up at Shen Nanxiao and begged.
Shen Nanxiao did not hesitate at all. He directly handed her the phone and said, “It’s your birthday.”
“Thank you!” Liu Qi unlocked his phone and opened Shen Nanxiao’s Wechat. She entered Liu Yue’s phone number, and soon, she was added.
And Shen Nanxiao’s Wechat name was Qi.
Qi: “Sis, it’s me, Ah Qi.”
It was Pleasant to the Ears. “Ah Qi, you’re right. There’s really something wrong with the dress Lu Xue gave me. I feel that my original dress broke in a strange way too.”
Liu Yue was her cousin. Because she chose to be an actress, she was not liked by her grandfather’s family just like Liu Qi. Hence, Liu Qi was naturally willing to get close to her cousin.
In her previous life, when Liu Yue was on the red carpet, her gown suddenly fell apart, making Liu Yue a huge embarrassment. She even got her contract canceled by Nangong Shu’s Roland, and she has been on hiatus ever since.
Not only that, Liu Yue was chased out of the Liu family by her grandmother, and her first uncle’s family was not allowed to acknowledge her as their daughter. This caused Liu Yue to fall to her death in August, the second year after she married Nangong Shu!
Liu Yue was very beautiful. She was the gentle and intelligent kind of beautiful. Her personality was also simple. Other than working hard, she did not have any other talents.
Qi said, “Hmm, sister, switch to another gown. I’ll pay for it. You don’t have to worry about the money. (don’t reply)”
After saying this, Liu Qi turned off the phone. She returned the phone to Shen Nanxiao without even deleting the chat history.
Liu Qi looked as if she had just finished something important. She suddenly felt a little tired and leaned back weakly.
“Tired?” Shen Nanxiao looked at her weak appearance and felt his heart ache. Although this little girl had Nangong Shu in her heart, it did not stop him from loving her.
“Yes.” Liu Qi nodded slightly. She just wanted to close her eyes and sleep for a while now. She took the initiative to lean closer to Shen Nanxiao and put her head gently on Shen Nanxiao’s arm.

Shen Nanxiao lowered his eyes slightly. The thought of canceling the engagement vanished into thin air. He wanted to say, “It was you who took the initiative. Don’t blame me for not letting you go.”.
With a slight force, he pulled her into his arms. Liu Qi did not reject him. Instead, she burrowed into the man’s arms.
As if she was holding the stars in her arms, Liu Qi felt Shen Nanxiao’s gentleness, warmth, and safety.
Only she could see and feel Shen Nanxiao like this.
In Shen Nanxiao’s heart, Liu Qi was the only exception to his principles.
