Chapter 822 - The Suspect

In the Qiao house, Gao Wanhua chatted with Xia Ning for a while before Qiao Yu carried Enoch to Gao Wanhua’s room.

Gao Wanhua knew the couple had a lot to talk about and did not disturb them. She went back to her room to sleep with Enoch.

Xia Ning cleaned up the living room and went straight to the second floor.

The door of the master bedroom was opened. In the quiet night, the sound of water splashing in the bathroom was extremely jarring.

Xia Ning went in and took her pajamas to the bathroom next door to take a shower.

When she came back, Qiao Yu was already in bed. He was looking at something on his phone.

Xia Ning walked to the other side and went into bed as well. Her eyes fell on his phone.

“What are you looking at?”

“Looking at the scandal between you and Jin Yan,” Qiao Yu said directly.

Xia Ning: “...” She shut her mouth immediately. This was a taboo topic.

But Qiao Yu did not think that way. He continued, “Did you find out who leaked it?”

Xia Ning saw his calm face and answered, “Ziming said someone sold these photos to a few tabloids at the same time. I suspect it was premeditated.”

“Do you have any suspects?”

“Not for now.” Xia Ning frowned slightly. “Maybe it’s because I offended too many people last year. There are a lot of people who want to find trouble with me lately. Cheng Feixuan was the one who exposed my last scandal with Jin Yan. If I didn’t find out the truth, I would not believe it was her. But I’ve already asked Ziming to investigate.”

Qiao Yu looked at Xia Ning and her face was tense. Obviously, she was very angry about the gossip this time. But the anger was not strong enough. Because the person involved in the gossip was very special and that person was “wholeheartedly” thinking of her, no matter how sharp her eyes were, they would ignore a lot of things at this time.

“I saw you and Jin Yan clarifying on Weibo!” Qiao Yu moved his eyes away and looked at the screen. It was Jin Yan’s latest post.

Seeing the comments that the Internet was disappointed that Xia Ning and Jin Yan were not together, the anger in his heart could not help but rise. But he knew that he should not be upset about this at this time. Otherwise, he would fall into the enemy’s trap.

Xia Ning did not know what Qiao Yu was thinking and said with a smile, “Jin Yan’s words are indeed effective. With this explanation, most people on the Internet will believe it.”

“Didn’t you say you went with Jin Yan and his girlfriend? Why didn’t the photos get Jin Yan’s girlfriend?” Qiao Yu asked suddenly.

Xia Ning heard this and frowned a little. The speculation in her heart suddenly surfaced but also felt unbelievable.

“I think the person who took the photos was probably only targeting Jin Yan and me. Just at that time, Li Man went to drive the car and didn’t take any photos of her.” Even though that was the case, she was already suspicious.

Seeing Xia Ning’s serious face, Qiao Yu knew she had already thought in that direction. Just as he was about to speak, she interrupted him.

“I don’t understand,” Xia Ning said suddenly. “What’s in it for her?!”

Qiao Yu looked at her and said calmly, “People’s minds are unpredictable. So it’s not surprising to be tricked by people around you.”

Xia Ning frowned. She clenched her fists and looked upset. “She’d better not let me find out that it was her. Otherwise, even if Jin Yan doesn’t step up, I won’t let her go!”

Qiao Yu frowned a little and looked at Xia Ning. “Who were you suspecting just now?”

“Li Man, Jin Yan’s girlfriend,” Xia Ning said in a low voice. “Let’s not talk about her being hostile to me. I heard from Ziming that she has a lot of history with rich businessmen. Now I’m worried that she’s playing with Jin Yan’s feelings and using this chance to stir up the gossip between me and Jin Yan so that she can get away with it.”

Qiao Yu: “...” So all this time, they were not talking about the same person.

He saw Xia Ning’s cold face and felt upset. Did she really trust that man that much?! She had never thought that all of this could be that man’s doing!
