Chapter 36 -36: Testing Again_1

“You drove Momo away?!” Upon hearing this news, Xia Qingtian widened her eyes in shock, her face a scowl of anger. “Dad, you’ve gone too far! Momo is my friend no matter what!”

“What’s the use of this kind of friend? What can she do for you in a crisis?” Xia Guohua scoffed after hearing this, his tone sharp. “Qingtian, choose friends with purpose. Useless ones will only hold you back! In the future, if you’re going to make friends, make useful ones!”

“You’re being utterly unreasonable!!!”

Xia Qingtian roared, her emotions igniting in a flash.

She didn’t want to see Xia Guohua anymore, so she turned and ran upstairs.

Seeing this, Xia Guohua sneered, speaking emotionlessly, “Qingtian, don’t despise your dad’s harsh words. They’re for your own good.”

For her own good?

Was it for her own good that she had to please Bo Jingyan for his benefit, that he drove her friend away without any discussion?

Such a self-serving excuse!

Xia Qingtian angrily returned to her room and slammed the door hard, her chest heaving with fury.

Momo was a sensitive person.

Given the way, Xia Guohua treated her, she was likely feeling terrible right now.

She couldn’t let it go!!!

She had to call her right away and apologize!

Thinking about this, Xia Qingtian fought down her anger and took out her phone from her bag, immediately dialing Chen Momo’s number.

“…” The phone rang for about ten seconds before being picked up.

“Momo, I’m sorry, I only got back just now,” Xia Qingtian hurriedly apologized once the call was answered. “I know my dad said some awful things to you. I apologize on his behalf. Don’t take it to heart, you’re always my friend!”

“…”

Chen Momo didn’t respond, her grip on the phone tightening, her face frosty.

Seeing the silence on the other end.

Xia Qingtian bit her lip anxiously, recalling that Xia Guohua mentioned Chen Xuanyu earlier, had he also returned?

Thinking of this, she quickly said cheerfully, “Momo, I heard Xuanyu brother is back. I invite the two of you out for a meal so we can catch up.”

“We’ll talk about it later,” Chen Momo sounded rather despondent.

“How about this weekend? Will you be working then?” Xia Qingtian sensed her gloomy mood and asked anxiously.

Chen Momo was silent for a long while before she responded blandly, “Qingtian, you don’t need to do this. I know you’re not like your dad, that’s good enough. As for the meal, let’s make plans some other time.”

“Okay then,” Xia Qingtian sighed softly, knowing better than to push any further.

“I have other matters to attend. Let’s hang up for now,” Chen Momo said and immediately ended the call.

Xia Qingtian held her phone feeling dejected, her mood suddenly plummeting. Biting her lip in frustration, her heart ached a little.

She could tell Momo was still upset.

Momo was her most important friend, and she didn’t want this incident to constantly prick at her heart.

It seemed she had to find the time to apologize in person to Momo as soon as possible.

With that thought, Xia Qingtian flipped her calendar and noticed that her birthday was next week.

That day would be perfect!

Once she had made the decision, her restless heart began to calm slightly.

Putting her phone away, Xia Qingtian dragged her tired body towards the bathroom, planning to wash up and rest as early as possible.

She was destined to have a sleepless night again.

…

At night.

The night was deep, and the stars scattered across the clear sky.

The breeze fluttered the curtains, and the soft moonlight scattered a layer of light upon Bo Jingyan, giving him a touch of chill.

Bo Jingyan, donning a gray set of pajamas and holding a steaming cup of coffee, was seated with a stern face, looking out at the night view through the window.

Today he confirmed Shen Qing’s identity.

Also, Xia Qingtian was no longer under suspicion of being Shen Qing.

His past suspicions were likely just paranoia.

It seemed Grandfather and Jian Xuan didn’t deceive him after all.

Though Shen Qing was no longer under suspicion, there was something else about Xia Qingtian that he hadn’t confirmed yet.

Seeing Xia Qingtian in the photo that Shen Yaxuan had bought, Bo Jingyan’s jet-black eyes darkened further. His face turned colder instantaneously, a chill filling the room.

During the time Xia Qingtian spent by his side, she was always associated with Shen Qing one way or another, and now she was even involved with the Imperial Hotel.

What kind of secret is she hiding that he hadn’t discovered yet?

Bo Jingyan furrowed his brows and took a sip of coffee, his face gloomy and terrifying.

…

The next day.

Xia Qingtian finished her work and prepared to leave the office. The car from the Bo family had already arrived at the door to pick her up.

Having a car to pick her up, not having to squeeze herself in buses or subway with other office workers, was a lifestyle she hadn’t experienced for quite a while.

Xia Qingtian walked towards the car, opened the door and sat at the back seat.

After boarding the car, she leaned on the window and turned her head to look outside, watching the ongoing traffic and the shifting sceneries, as if they were a silent movie.

Just like her chaotic and noisy life.

Back at the villa, Xia Qingtian didn’t even have time to rest. She went straight to the kitchen to prepare dinner for Bo Jingyan.

An hour later.

When dinner was ready, the butler asked her to serve it in the study.

Carrying the dinner platter, Xia Qingtian went upstairs to the study’s entrance, asking one of the maids in the corridor to knock on the door for her.

“Come in.”

A cold voice promptly came from inside the room.

The maid opened the door, and Xia Qingtian, holding the tray, walked in. She saw Bo Jingyan sitting before the desk, reading some documents. He was wearing a pair of rimless glasses and his handsome features were framed in an air of scholarly grace.

Four characters flashed across Xia Qingtian’s mind: pretending to be a scholar!

Suddenly, Bo Jingyan put down the documents and looked at her. His gaze on her face, his eyes darkened slightly but his deep gaze was unreadable.

Squashing down the sarcastic remark in her heart, Xia Qingtian placed the dinner on the desk.

Seeing him still staring at her, she smiled uncomfortably, “Mr. Bo, eat while it’s hot, it will get cold soon.”

Bo Jingyan looked at her for a moment, then his gaze veered to a picture on the desk that was partially hidden underneath some files.

He picked up the soup, took a few bland sips, then suddenly asked, his voice cold as ice, “Xia Qingtian, what were you doing at the Imperial Hotel on the night of the 15th?”

Hearing “Imperial Hotel.”

Xia Qingtian’s heart pounded like a gong, and without thinking, she looked up in surprise.

Why did Bo Jingyan suddenly mention the Imperial Hotel?

And on the night of the 15th…

Wasn’t that the night she lost her chastity?!!!

Could he already know about her and Shen Yaxuan?

The sudden fear engulfed her.

In an instant, Xia Qingtian’s hands and feet turned cold, her fingers trembled despite herself. She clenched her hand into a fist, pale-faced, looking at him.

Bo Jingyan saw her panic-stricken face, and mused thoughtfully, “What, don’t you remember?”

If she lied.

She must be guilty.
