Liu Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Xu Qiaoqiao, and asked in a lowered voice, "Qiaoqiao, do you know him? You..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Xu Qiaoqiao interrupted, "Aunt, it just occurred to me that I have some matters to attend to at the company. I must leave early and not attend this welcome dinner or family gathering."
She then turned and left.
Liu Yingxue was taken aback, and instinctively grabbed her arm, "Qiaoqiao, you can't leave!"
"Why can't I leave?"
Xu Qiaoqiao's eyes darted sharply, "Or is it that you want me to stay for some sinister plot?"
Liu Yingxue was speechless in response.
Xu Qiaoqiao shook off her hand and walked away.
Lin Yicheng turned around, ready to go into the private room.
But out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but glance at the distant scene.
Words from Xu Qiaoqiao reached his ears, immediately filling him with a sense of shame.
He was going to leave, but he changed his mind after seeing her.
