Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2061: Chapter 2055: It’s My Fault

"Alright, I’ll go check again myself." Xiao Qi was still somewhat unwilling when he heard Qin Xue say the same thing.

"Just keep an eye on Feng and the others’ movements." Chu Molin met Qin Xue’s gaze and then expressed his thoughts.

"Boss, is that what you mean?" Xiao Qi thought about Chu Molin’s words and asked him with hope.

"Yeah, whether you can do it without getting discovered depends on your own skills." Chu Molin straightforwardly affirmed Xiao Qi’s question, but it was somewhat difficult.

Because Xiao Qi hadn’t undergone any training or guidance, and Feng and the others were those who had walked through danger. For Xiao Qi to surveil them without being noticed was like using an egg to hit a rock.

So Chu Molin really understood Xiao Qi’s feelings.

"Having hope is better than having none. Now that I have a method, I have to do it no matter what. Maybe they’ll be moved by me." Xiao Qi tried to console himself.

"Your attempt to move them? You’d be lucky if Feng and the others don’t beat you up. You hurt their lady’s heart, yet you still think the outcome will be as beautiful as you wish? That’s impossible." Qing Zhu harshly critiqued Xiao Qi without holding back.

"Miss Qing Zhu, have I offended you in some way?" Xiao Qi asked Qing Zhu while staring at her intently.

"No." Qing Zhu didn’t know why Xiao Qi asked this, but she still answered his question affirmatively.

"Then did I do something that makes you find me very annoying?" Xiao Qi continued to ask.

"No." Qing Zhu shook her head again. If that were the case, she might have directly dealt with him.

"Then why do you dislike me so much?" Xiao Qi thought he hadn’t done anything to provoke Qing Zhu, so why was she constantly being unkind to him today?

"You don’t need to think about it. You haven’t offended me; nothing at all. I just find you disagreeable. Why should I be pleasant to a man who makes women sad? Especially a man like you who can’t distinguish between right and wrong—there’s even more reason not to be nice, understand?" Qing Zhu wasn’t someone unreasonable, but she also wasn’t the type of friend to remain silent when she saw her friend upset.

She could accompany her friend, but she couldn’t substitute for her sorrow. So, seeing the usually emotionally naive Nangong Beiying leave home because of Xiao Qi’s foolishness, she couldn’t help but vent her temper.

"Alright, it’s my fault. I didn’t handle this well. The mistake is mine, and I have nothing to say." Xiao Qi acknowledged his own shortcomings. If Qing Zhu hadn’t said they grew up together, and considering Qin Xue’s kindness to Qing Zhu, Xiao Qi wouldn’t have let Qing Zhu criticize him so freely.

But no matter what, Xiao Qi was still a man. He wouldn’t constantly let someone admonish him. Qin Xue could say something because, when Nangong Beiying started ignoring him, it was Qin Xue who helped him. However, his feelings towards Qing Zhu were different from those towards Qin Xue. Qin Xue was Chu Molin’s wife, while he was unfamiliar with Qing Zhu.

It was also because, after hearing him, Qing Zhu didn’t speak again. Otherwise, the two might have clashed.

Qing Zhu didn’t stop speaking because she was admitting defeat but because she knew Xiao Qi wasn’t doing well either, and Nangong Beiying leaving was due to a misunderstanding, so she didn’t say anything more.

It’s this mindset that dissolved the tense atmosphere.

And watching all of this, Qin Xue quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Others might not know Qing Zhu’s temperament, but she did. Seeing her quickly stop thinking in this way, Qin Xue was truly thankful.

Because both sides were people important to Nangong Beiying, if she saw this, she would be unhappy.

Qing Zhu must have realized this point as well. Otherwise, with her temperament of not stopping until she’s driven someone mad, she wouldn’t back down so easily.
