Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2023: Chapter 2017: Boastful Words

"Qin Xue, even if you’re angry, it won’t help. It’s just the two of us here, and no one heard what I just said. So if I say it’s me, then it’s me. What can you do about it?" Gu Beilin had an expression of stubborn defiance, making Qin Xue feel that this woman was truly shameless in achieving her goals.

"Who said no one heard? Right, Mr. Xiao? And Mr. Wen, you heard it too, didn’t you?" Qin Xue glanced towards the corner and then smiled as she spoke.

"What?" Gu Beilin froze, slowly turning her head to look in the direction Qin Xue was looking. She saw Xiao Qi standing there with a cold glare, alongside their client advisor, and after hearing Qin Xue’s question, he slowly walked over.

"Gu Beilin, isn’t this getting interesting?" Qin Xue leaned close to Gu Beilin’s ear and whispered.

"You despicable person." Gu Beilin looked at Qin Xue with rage; it turned out she was setting them up for Xiao Qi and the advisor to hear. This woman was really hateful.

"No matter how despicable I am, I can’t compare to you, using any means necessary." Qin Xue said indifferently. After all, she didn’t actually do anything—it was Gu Beilin who spoke those words, so how can she blame her, right?

The only reason Qin Xue thought this way was because of Nangong Beiying; otherwise, she wouldn’t have bothered. Her time was precious, and she’d rather spend it on meaningful things than waste it here.

But this woman had the nerve to meddle, so she naturally resolved it, to avoid annoying Nangong Beiying if she returned.

"Mr. Xiao, Mr. Wen." Gu Beilin called out reluctantly.

"Come to my office, all of you," Xiao Qi’s voice was so cold it gave people chills.

"Sure, let’s go, Ms. Gu." Qin Xue had no objections. If it wasn’t for seeing Xiao Qi and Wen Qing eavesdropping, she wouldn’t have bothered talking so much with Gu Beilin here, risking being laughed at by others. Her drama wasn’t meant for just anyone’s entertainment.

Fortunately, no one else came over at this moment. She was already upset when her patience was tested, and who knew this woman dared to speak nonsense? Without showing her who’s boss, she’d remain clueless about the consequences.

"Let’s go then, I’m not afraid of you." Gu Beilin now just hoped Xiao Qi hadn’t heard the part Qin Xue said earlier; otherwise, even with ten mouths, she wouldn’t be able to explain it away.

"Aren’t you going to explain what’s going on? Especially you, Ms. Gu, I don’t recall ever saying I would marry you." Xiao Qi sat in his office chair, looking at Qin Xue and Gu Beilin.

Thinking about what he just heard, Xiao Qi realized Qin Xue really knew who the woman from that day was. But why hadn’t she told him before? He wouldn’t have spent these days in such agony.

"What am I supposed to say?" Gu Beilin, slightly intimidated by Xiao Qi’s icy expression, asked fearfully.

"Didn’t you say earlier that you’re pregnant with my child? But from what I just heard, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Don’t you have anything to say?" Xiao Qi was relieved when he heard it wasn’t Gu Beilin, but then realized it had to be someone else. As long as that person wasn’t Nangong Beiying, it wasn’t the result he wanted, so his expression, which he was about to soften, tightened again.

"This is true; it was because you, Mr. Xiao, were drunk that you messed me up. I didn’t expect to get pregnant after just once. My family doesn’t know about this yet, so Mr. Xiao, you must take responsibility, or my parents will kill me." Gu Beilin thought it must be that one time, not even knowing who the person was. If she found out, she wouldn’t let him go.
