Chapter 2134: I Am Your Cautionary Tale

~7 min read 1,343 words

"But you also need to have the ability to seize the opportunity when it comes!"

The moment the manager thought of Xiao Qian's recent performance...

He wished he could throw this person back into modeling school to relearn everything properly!

Who would have thought that such an unintentional remark would cause Xiao Qian's expression to change instantly.

She stared at the other person with sharp eyes and questioned, "Are you doubting my ability?"

"Uh... how could I?"

"You know what happened to the last person who doubted me!"

Xiao Qian's expression was grim.

And her words made the expression on the manager's face change immediately.

He wanted to open his mouth to speak.

But Xiao Qian warned him first: "I will only get more and more popular. If the company's resources can't keep up, I don't mind changing companies! Now, I want to rest for a while!"

After saying this, Xiao Qian went to the lounge.

The manager was so angry at her behavior that he laughed.

This woman was truly blinded by her own popularity.

She didn't even know her own worth!

To think she would even threaten him...

The manager was so angry his breathing became rapid.

But in his mind, he suddenly thought of Xiao Qian's words from just a moment ago.

It was really hard not to overthink that...

The manager furrowed his brows and turned around with a solemn face.

And as a result of this turn...

He saw a woman standing behind him!

The moment their eyes met, the manager was frightened by the cold, piercing gaze of the other person!

He quickly stepped back twice, patted his chest, and asked, "Who, who are you?"

In the blink of an eye, Sui Xin put on a simple and harmless expression.

She smiled and said, "I am a friend of Xiao Qian."

"Oh, she, she went to the lounge."

"Many thanks."

Sui Xin stepped toward the lounge.

The manager was still looking at Sui Xin's back in suspicion.

At the same time, he felt this woman looked very familiar.

Who was it again?

Sui Xin had already pushed open the door to the lounge and walked in.

At this moment, only Xiao Qian was in the lounge.

Thinking Sui Xin was a staff member, she said, "Turn up the air conditioning; I'm very hot."

Sui Xin looked around, spotted the button on the wall, and walked over to press it twice.

Xiao Qian then ordered, "Go buy me a cup of black coffee, make it iced."

This time, her order failed.

Sui Xin did not move.

This caused Xiao Qian to casually pick up a makeup brush and throw it at her, scolding, "Why are you just standing there?"

The brush landed on Sui Xin's light-colored trousers, leaving a mark.

She glanced down indifferently and reached out to brush it off.

Then she said nonchalantly, "I advise you, it is best not to make an enemy of Su Kexuan."

"What are you, and what qualifications do you have to say these things to me?"

"By the fact that if you don't listen to advice, I am your cautionary tale."

A cautionary... tale?

Xiao Qian originally wanted to mock the other person.

But she suddenly thought of something and hurriedly looked closely at the woman in front of her.

And upon looking, she realized something: "You are..."

"That's right, I am the woman who self-harmed in front of Su Kexuan a while ago."

Xiao Qian knew about this incident.

At the time, she had even treated it as a joke.

But now...

Xiao Qian frowned and hurriedly asked, "Judging by what you mean, is there a hidden story behind your reconciliation?"

"There is indeed a hidden story, but it is not convenient for me to say."

"Since it's not convenient to say, why come find me?"

"Just to warn you; I hope you don't end up like me, suffering total ruin."

Sui Xin spoke with earnest concern.

Xiao Qian, however, revealed a disdainful smile.

Then she said, "You are overthinking it. I am not like you; my family is all on my side!"

"Even with family support, can you resist the Li Family?"

"The Li Family is very excellent, but so what? In this world, one still has to rely on brains to get things done!"

As she spoke, Xiao Qian even tapped her own head with her finger.

Her attitude was extremely arrogant.

Sui Xin, however, revealed a skeptical expression: "Are you really that capable?"

"Of course, my grandfather is a professor!"

"You're lying, right? How could a professor let his own granddaughter be a model?"

"My grandfather is learned and knowledgeable, but not stubborn at all. When he sees me being bullied, he even helps me..."

Xiao Qian was just about to boast extensively about the good deeds her grandfather had done recently.

But as the words reached her lips, she suddenly shut her mouth.

Then, she stared at Sui Xin with a guarded expression.

And she began to suspect the true motive for this woman appearing here.

Sui Xin seemed not to have noticed the change in Xiao Qian.

She sighed faintly, and then said with an envious look: "Your family is so good; when something happens, they comfort you."

"Right, you're very envious, aren't you!"

"Yeah, my family only blames me and orders me to apologize, not caring about my life or death at all. Sigh, the gap between people is just too big."

As Sui Xin spoke, her eyes actually turned red.

This deliberate display of weakness successfully dispelled Xiao Qian's suspicions.

She became arrogant again and even said: "So stop worrying about nothing and just watch the show honestly!"

"Then... please deal with Su Kexuan harshly; consider it as you upholding justice for me."

"No problem!"

The other party's promise made Sui Xin break into a smile through her tears.

She bowed to Xiao Qian earnestly again and said: "You are truly beautiful and kind-hearted; good people will be rewarded!"

After these words fell, Sui Xin did not disturb Xiao Qian any further and left the lounge with her head lowered.

Although her rest had been disturbed, Xiao Qian was in a very good mood.

Her self-esteem had also been greatly satisfied.

Even the unpleasantness that had occurred with her agent could be ignored.

However...

Everything Sui Xin did was just to deceive Xiao Qian.

After leaving the event venue, Sui Xin began to focus on investigating this professor grandfather of Xiao Qian...

In a small pond, a few gray ducks were swimming around leisurely.

Suddenly, a few vegetable leaves appeared on the water's surface.

The ducks were no longer calm.

They scrambled to swim over, opened their mouths, and began to peck.

Soon, the leaves were divided up completely.

The ducks, not having eaten enough, let out two "quack" sounds.

Seeing that no new vegetable leaves were thrown down, the ducks swam away.

Jiang Mobai, who had seen the whole process, muttered: "They really do like eating vegetable leaves."

Su Kexuan, who was beside him, said: "Remember to bring more next time; it's immoral to whet their appetite without feeding them full."

"Then let it be immoral; I want to be an immoral person right now!"

Jiang Mobai said resentfully, then sighed again: "It's the last day, and I still haven't found the key evidence."

Su Kexuan knew what Jiang Mobai was feeling melancholy about.

But she didn't think there was anything to be melancholy about, so she said: "Even if you don't find the evidence, Qingkong won't do anything to you."

"But it will affect my reputation!"

The tone of Jiang Mobai's voice was very solemn.

Su Kexuan, however, did not make a sound.

She was using silence to respond to Jiang Mobai's absurdity.

"No, you..."

Jiang Mobai felt displeased and was about to speak.

Su Kexuan stopped him: "Wait a moment, someone is coming."

This area was very remote, and few people usually came here.

The person coming now...

Are they just a passerby or someone with ill intentions?
