Chapter 790 - Provocation!

In the CEO’s office of Shengshi Group, Qiao Yu was sitting on the sofa and listening to the call.

“What do you want to say?” Qiao Yu rubbed his eyebrows.

“I’m just curious about Qian Feng kidnapping Xia Ning. Also, Brother, don’t you think it’s a bit weird?”

“What’s weird?” Qiao Yu asked.

“Xia Ning is an orphan. Back when she was abandoned by the Shen family in the orphanage, she should have no power or influence. But she studied in England. Now that she’s back, she’s the second-biggest shareholder of SE Entertainment. It’s said that she owns a lot of industries in S City. Don’t you think it’s weird?”

Qiao Yu’s hand stopped for a second. Something flashed in his dark eyes. “You are overthinking. Xia Ning was adopted by a rich man.”

“Who would give their adopted daughter so much money?” Gao Yang asked back. “And there are so many rumors outside. Brother, you just...”

“Gao Yang!” Qiao Yu raised his voice. “Watch your words!”

“Brother, that’s not what I meant. I...”

“Alright!” Qiao Yu interrupted him directly. “Don’t think too much. I’m hanging up. I’ll go see Grandfather in a few days. Let’s go together then.”

“Yes, I will call Brother Tianlang to go.”

“Sure,” Qiao Yu answered and hung up immediately. He looked at the dirt on Xia Ning’s history on the computer screen and frowned. He closed the web page suddenly.

Since he loved her, he had to trust her.

After a while, he took out his phone and made a call.

The call went through very quickly. Xia Ning’s voice came from the other side. “Hello.”

“Where are you?” Qiao Yu asked gently.

“I’m driving.”

“Going home?” Qiao Yu asked.

“No, to see a friend.”

“Which friend?” Qiao Yu asked subconsciously.

“Jin Yan and Li Man,” Xia Ning answered. “They are treating me to dinner. I think I will come back later today.”

Qiao Yu’s eyes darkened. He was silent for a while before he said, “Do you want me to pick you up tonight?”

“No need.”

“Sure, drive carefully.” Qiao Yu hung up after that. He took out a document from a pile of documents on the table. It was obviously Jin Yan’s photo. He looked at Jin Yan’s proud eyes and his face was dark. Was this a provocation?

Xia Ning hung up and focused on driving. In fact, she was going to SE Entertainment. Halfway through, she received a call from Jin Yan saying he wanted to treat her to dinner.

But it wasn’t Jin Yan. It was Li Man. Li Man said her words were a bit harsh last time and wanted to apologize to her this time.

With Li Man’s words and Jin Yan between them, Xia Ning naturally could not refuse. She did not want to affect Jin Yan and Li Man’s relationship.

Although she didn’t like Li Man herself, Jin Yan liked her enough!

They chose a French restaurant in the city center. Li Man liked French food and when Xia Ning was abroad, she liked French food the most, so she was happy.

When Xia Ning arrived, she followed the waiter to the private room. Jin Yan and Li Man were looking at the menu, chatting, and laughing. Their relationship was close. Xia Ning saw this and felt relieved. Coming here today was worth it.

“Xia Ning, you’re here!” Li Man noticed someone coming in and looked up at Xia Ning. She stood up immediately and said with a smile.

Xia Ning nodded at her. “I’m late.”

“Not late,” Jin Yan said with a smile. He stood up and poured Xia Ning a cup of tea.

Xia Ning walked over and sat down. She looked at Jin Yan and said suddenly, “Jin Yan, didn’t you say Li Man went overseas yesterday?”
