Chapter 463: Xu Qing: Caught in the Act!

"Sister Sister Qingqing sister, your boyfriend is so amazing—I can't even imagine there's a god-tier guy like him out there! When you get your DB11, you've got to take us for a spin!"

"No problem, no problem," Xu Qing waved her hand gracefully. "Have you decided where to eat yet? Today's my treat—pick anywhere!"

Xu Qing, who had been lavished with praise, unexpectedly showed remarkable generosity.

Li Xiaomei's eyes instantly sparkled. "Let's eat wagyu beef— I've been dying to try it, but I just couldn't bring myself to spend it."

Ma Ma Ma Luoluo nodded vigorously. "That place is insanely good, but it's a bit pricey—about 500 Zhao Yuan per person."

Hearing "500 Zhao Yuan per person," Xu Qing's eyelid twitched involuntarily.

But then she remembered her "infinitely expanding" wallet, patted her chest proudly, and declared: "Then it's wagyu."

"Thank you, Sister Sister Qingqing sister!" (*2)

As the three were laughing and chatting, a sweet voice suddenly chimed in: "Ma Ma Luoluo, Sister Sister Qingqing, long time no see—wasn't Zhang Xiao with you today?"

Hearing the voice, Xu Qing, who had been acting bold, suddenly widened her eyes and froze stiff.

She turned mechanically—and saw Jing Xiao walking toward them.

(° Kou °)

Xu Qing instinctively stepped back half a pace, her face flushed with panic.

She had slept with Tang Song during Jing Xiao's training in the capital.

Although the main fault lay with that scumbag Xiao Little Song Zi, she still felt she'd betrayed Jing Xiao.

And for some reason, Jing Xiao looked especially elegant today—unlike her usual self.

Guilt was certain, but what terrified her most was exposure.

All she could do was silently pray Jing Xiao would leave quickly.

Ma Ma Ma Luoluo blinked, then remembered who this was—the woman she'd met by chance in Xingyue City, who'd been with Ni Ni Ni Qingli.

Afterward, Zhang Xiao had bragged to her about these two: top-tier Bai Bai Fumei from billionaire families worth over a billion.

Ma Ma Ma Luoluo's face lit up with awe as she bowed slightly. "Hello, Miss Supervisor Tian. Zhang Xiao is on a business trip out of town—he won't be back until next week."

"Oh, I see," Jing Xiao nodded lightly, her gaze drifting silently toward Sister Sister Qingqing.

Xu Qing forced a weak, awkward smile. "Hello."

Jing Xiao's lips curved slightly as she glanced at her watch. "It's almost noon—are you planning to eat now?"

Ma Ma Ma Luoluo immediately replied: "Yes, yes!"

Xu Qing grabbed Li Xiaomei's arm urgently. "Yes, yes—let's hurry to the wagyu place. It'll be packed soon—it's Saturday today!"

"Oh? Wagyu?" Jing Xiao smiled sweetly. "Funny—I'm heading upstairs to the Skyline Private Club for lunch. They've got a Michelin-starred chef today, and A5 wagyu beef. Come with me—I'll take you in."

As she spoke, Jing Xiao waved gently, radiating warmth and charm.

Ma Ma Ma Luoluo and Li Xiaomei's eyes instantly lit up.

A5 was the highest-grade wagyu, and with a Michelin-starred chef cooking it? Absolutely unbeatable!

Xu Qing's face turned pale instantly, her lips trembling, her head buzzing.

What she feared most had come true.

Murphy's Law had struck again: anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

Ma Ma Ma Luoluo exclaimed excitedly: "How can we possibly accept? I heard from Zhang Xiao that Skyline Club has strict entry rules—can we even get in?"

Xu Qing swallowed hard, nervously saying: "Won't this be too much trouble for Miss Supervisor Tian? Maybe we should just skip it."

Normally, a free meal at a private club? She'd never miss it.

But facing Jing Xiao, she felt like she'd be exposed any second.

Every second spent near her made her heart race.

Jing Xiao smiled warmly. "No problem—my friend is a shareholder of the club."

Xu Qing: ( )

"Thank you, Miss Supervisor Tian!" Ma Ma Ma Luoluo gasped, then began whispering excitedly about the club.

According to her boyfriend, it was the most exclusive private club in Yan City.

They held monthly themed parties with limited attendance—car experience days, private concerts, and more.

Totally awesome.

Li Xiaomei's cheeks flushed with excitement. "Thank you so much, Miss Supervisor Tian—you're so beautiful and generous!"

"Hehe," Jing Xiao chuckled softly, her eyes stealing a glance at the flustered Sister Sister Qingqing. "My name is Supervisor Tian Jing—you can just call me Sorry Xiao Jing."

"Got it, thanks!" "Thanks, Sorry Xiao Jing!"

Xu Qing's hands, clutching her shopping bags, were slick with sweat. She forced a stiff smile. "Thank you."

Inside, she prayed silently: just keep quiet, don't say anything, don't let Jing Xiao find out.

Luckily, this dumb girl was incredibly naive, and her online persona was wildly different from reality—she probably wouldn't figure it out.

Jing Xiao smiled elegantly and stepped forward. "Follow me—the elevator's this way."

The three hurried after her.

Qin Hua, waiting nearby, asked: "Sorry Xiao Jing, who are they?"

Her gaze was razor-sharp—she could tell from their outfits and aura that these three weren't from her circle.

"Zhang Xiao's girlfriend, Ma Ma Ma Luoluo. The other two are her college classmates," Jing Xiao replied casually.

Ma Ma Ma Luoluo stepped forward proudly. "Hello, I'm Ma Ma Ma Luoluo."

In her mind, this opportunity came solely because of her boyfriend Zhang Xiao—she felt immensely proud.

"Hello," Qin Hua murmured, her brow slightly furrowed—something felt off.

In Yan City's wealthy second-generation circle, she was a familiar face.

She knew exactly who Zhang Xiao was—the second son of the chairman of Ruitai Medical.

But Zhang Xiao's family was just average—even his older brother, who'd already taken over the family business,

hadn't reached her social tier.

In the past, Supervisor Tian Jing had never cared about people like this—she barely knew Zhang Xiao.

So why was she suddenly so eager to interact with his girlfriend?

Something's fishy.

Entering the building's main entrance, they walked a short distance before reaching a private elevator.

"Ding—" The elevator doors slid open slowly.

The group stepped inside one by one.

Qin Hua pulled out a white card from her pocket, swiped it, and the top-floor button lit up automatically.

Li Xiaomei and Ma Ma Ma Luoluo stared at the rapidly changing floor numbers, brimming with anticipation.

Xu Qing hid behind her two friends, stealing glances at Jing Xiao's profile—her eyes inevitably drifted to the woman's nainai zi.

Damn it! Why is it so big?!

(>)=3

Today she'd gone shopping for clothes, so she hadn't worn a bra pad—she'd been instantly outclassed.

Just then, Jing Xiao suddenly turned around.

Their eyes met. Xu Qing gasped, feigning nonchalance as she looked everywhere but at her, muttering: "This elevator's so fast."

Jing Xiao chuckled softly, a flicker of mischief in her eyes.

"Ding." The elevator doors opened slowly.

A faint, sophisticated fragrance filled the air—citrus blended with woody notes, like a high-end perfume.

Gao Gao Gao Junfeng inhaled deeply, gentlemanly holding the elevator door open, gesturing for the ladies to go first.

The group stepped out.

A lavish, spacious reception hall came into view: natural marble floors, dazzling crystal chandeliers, abstract artwork reading "Welcome to Skyline Club." A concierge stepped forward with a graceful bow, her voice soft yet poised.

After Supervisor Tian Jing and Qin Hua presented their membership cards, a personal butler hurried over and led them inside.

Gao Gao Gao Junfeng had never been to such an elite private club before—even as a mere sidekick, he was ecstatic.

He glanced at Supervisor Tian Jing ahead of him, his eyes burning with barely concealed admiration.

Compared to Qin Hua, Supervisor Tian Jing was the perfect Bai Bai Fumei.

So white. So rich. So beautiful.

But his current target was Qin Hua—he dared not show his true feelings.

The corridor was short but exquisitely designed.

Soon, a grand hall came into view.

The interior was opulent, with clearly defined zones: dining area, lounge, tea room, wine cellar, cigar bar—each meticulously arranged, independent yet seamlessly connected.

Seven or eight men and women stood or sat inside, dressed casually, chatting in small groups, occasional laughter drifting through the air.

Ni Ni Ni Qingli, wearing a blue dress, waved over. "Sorry Xiao Jing, Hua Hua, you're here."

Others turned and greeted them warmly.

"Qin Hua."

"Hu Hu Jingjing, long time no see—you've gotten even prettier."

Qin Hua and Supervisor Tian Jing entered the lounge, chatting amiably with their friends, the atmosphere light and cheerful.

Xu Qing and her two friends huddled together, their expressions tense.

Gao Gao Gao Junfeng smiled politely, struggling to mask his inner ambition.

Originally, he'd planned that after arriving here with Qin Hua, he'd introduce himself and expand his network.

Judging by this appearance, the plan has fallen through.

Moreover, almost everyone here is a second-generation rich kid, and they don't seem to take him seriously at all.

He couldn't help feeling a pang of disappointment and awkwardness.

Just then, Sorry Xiao Jing in the crowd suddenly turned around and walked toward them.

Her gaze first swept over Xu Qing, then landed on Gao Gao Gao Junfeng.

Gao Gao Gao Junfeng quickly straightened his posture, his face breaking into a bright smile.

Sorry Xiao Jing raised an eyebrow and said casually, "Assistant Gao, there's a private rest area outside—you can head over there directly. We'll contact you after the gathering."

"Uh…" Gao Gao Gao Junfeng's lips twitched; he felt numb all over.

They actually kicked him out—this is really hard to evaluate!

Sorry Xiao Jing didn't look at him again; her eyes locked onto Xu Qing, a knowing smile curling at her lips. Xu Qing forced a nervous laugh and lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Sister Sister Qingqing." Sorry Xiao Jing suddenly tilted her head and called out to her.

"Ah! What's wrong?" Xu Qing gasped, her skin prickling with goosebumps.

Sorry Xiao Jing covered her mouth and giggled softly: "Why so excited? Nothing's wrong—I just have a very close online friend who also goes by Sister Sister Qingqing, so your name feels especially familiar to me."

"Oh oh, that's quite a coincidence, but I'm definitely not that Sister Sister Qingqing." Xu Qing's heart was pounding; she wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it right then.

"Lunch will take a bit longer to prepare—why don't you go inside? There's a game zone and private KTV rooms—if you're interested, feel free to play for a while."

Li Xiaomei and Ma Ma Ma Luoluo immediately nodded: "Got it, thanks, Sorry Xiao Jing."

Xu Qing could only grit her teeth and mutter a thanks before following them quietly.

They arrived at the game zone.

Seeing the high-end VR equipment, gaming consoles, and premium fruit drinks inside, Li Xiaomei and Ma Ma Ma Luoluo burst into excited cheers: "Wow, this is amazing!"

Xu Qing's eyes sparkled instantly, forgetting all her earlier embarrassment.

The three of them had been shopping all day and were already exhausted; now, in this environment, they had zero resistance left.

Sorry Xiao Jing smiled and was about to sit down beside Sister Sister Qingqing.

Suddenly, Qin Hua's voice came from behind: "Sorry Xiao Jing, don't play games yet. A new member has joined the club—"

"Recommended by Ni Ni Qingli. She's arriving soon—come meet her."

"Hmm, alright." Sorry Xiao Jing nodded, bid farewell to Xu Qing and the others, and walked out.

She'd already suspected it—so many people showed up today, and they even arranged a Michelin-starred chef. Clearly, someone important was coming.

Ni Ni Ni Qingli was one of her closest friends, and her family was a shareholder of the Tianji Club. Of course, she'd show up to lend support.

Anyway, Sister Sister Qingqing was right here and couldn't run away—she could play with her later.

Thinking of this, a look of anticipation appeared on her face.

The private room door slowly closed.

"What's the situation with you and those two—Sister Sister Qingqing and Ma Ma Luoluo? Why did you bring them to the club?" Qin Hua asked in a lowered voice, her tone probing.

"What situation? I just wanted to hang out together." Sorry Xiao Jing blinked her innocent big eyes.

"You think I'd believe that?"

"Believe it or not." Sorry Xiao Jing smiled faintly.

As they spoke, the two returned to the lively, bustling main hall.

A boy in casual shirt raised his champagne glass and walked over to Ni Ni Ni Qingli, curiously asking: "Ni Ni Qingli, who's this new member? Why are you being so mysterious?"

"Yeah, Ni Ni Qingli, introduce us already—don't leave us guessing," another girl beside him chimed in.

Ni Ni Ni Qingli smiled gently and said calmly: "She's already in the elevator—you'll know soon enough."

"Again with the suspense—boring." The boy in the casual shirt rolled his eyes but couldn't help glancing toward the hall entrance.

Just then, a soft footstep echoed at the entrance of the hall.

A young man in a tailored suit entered, guided by a butler.

He looked around thirty, his hair neatly styled, features sharp, wearing gold-rimmed glasses that gave him an air of refined competence.

Ni Ni Ni Qingli's face lit up with a warm smile: "Welcome, Lin Zong, to our Tianji Club."

"Good afternoon, everyone," the young man replied politely with a courteous smile.

Ni Ni Ni Qingli gestured for him to enter the rest area and introduced him: "This is Lin Jingming, founder of Suchong Power Energy Technology Co., Ltd."

Upon hearing the company name, the man in the casual suit stiffened, then stepped forward quickly: "So you're Lin Zong from Suchong Power? I've heard your name many times—pleased to meet you. I'm Li Zhan from Jiujù New Materials."

"Hello," Lin Jingming replied politely, shaking his hand.

Two more people stepped forward to greet him.

"Hello, Lin Zong. I'm Duan Salesperson Xiao Lin from Chenming Pharmaceuticals. I've read about Suchong Power in the news many times—it's legendary."

"Hello, Lin Zong. Here's my business card."

The second-generation attendees at Ni Ni Ni Qingli's gathering were all quite capable; many had already taken over their parents' businesses and now operated independently, speaking with natural poise.

As they chatted, Sorry Xiao Jing learned the background of this Lin Zong.

Suchong Power specializes in building and operating EV charging stations, headquartered in Hangcheng, with considerable influence and recognition in the new energy vehicle charging sector.

It's currently in its B+ funding round, valued at over $500 million, and expanding rapidly—its momentum is immense. This trip to Yancheng is to invest in constructing a production plant, and the company responsible for construction is Ni Ni Ni Qingli's family enterprise.

At just 31, Lin Jingming is a true new aristocrat of the tech world.

Rumor has it he might make next year's Fortune "40 Under 40 in China's Business Elite" list.

Compared to these wealthy second-gen individuals, his accomplishments are far more brilliant—even rivaling those of their fathers'.

Qin Hua nudged her friend's arm and whispered: "Sorry Xiao Jing, I know your father invested in Hui Neng Electronics, which also does DC fast-charging stations. If you can connect with Lin Jingming, it might help your dad."

Her family and Sorry Xiao Jing's are "old friends"—their parents have known each other for years.

Qin Hua had heard plenty from her father about Supervisor Tian Supervisor Tian Tian Chengye—even more than Supervisor Tian Jing herself.

Supervisor Tian Jing tilted her head lazily: "Do you really think I have that kind of ability?"

She hated these kinds of gatherings most of all—especially pretending to flatter someone for a specific goal.

Qin Hua smirked: "Fine, then let's just go say hello. I'll mention it to your dad later—he might get interested."

"Alright," Sorry Xiao Jing nodded and followed her over.

She just wanted to get this over with so she could relax and play with Sister Sister Qingqing.

Thinking of this, a sly smile curled at the corner of Sorry Xiao Jing's lips.

Seeing Sorry Xiao Jing approach, Ni Ni Ni Qingli smiled and took her arm, introducing: "Lin Zong, this is Supervisor Tian Jing, daughter of Supervisor Tian Dong—and my best friend. I mentioned her to you before."

"Oh?" Lin Jingming's gaze settled on the sweet, beautiful girl before him, his expression softening into a warm smile. "Hello, Miss Supervisor Tian. I just spoke with your father this morning—we arranged to meet tomorrow. I didn't expect to run into you here."

"Hello, Lin Zong," Supervisor Tian Jing replied politely with a perfectly measured smile.

So her father already knew him—then she didn't need to worry.

That meant she could now focus her energy on something far more important.

After a few casual pleasantries, Sorry Xiao Jing made an excuse and slipped away from the crowd.

Watching her elegant, alluring back, Lin Jingming's eyes flickered slightly behind his glasses, thoughtful.

The door to the game room was gently pushed open.

Sorry Xiao Jing's gaze instantly locked onto Xu Qing; she strode over and plopped down beside her, her movements so natural it seemed they'd known each other for years.

Xu Qing, who had just finished a game and was about to relax, instantly sat up straight and turned stiffly toward her.

Their eyes met—Sorry Xiao Jing's bright, sparkling.

"Sister Sister Qingqing, let's play 'Yarn Sprite 2' together, okay?"

"Uh… o-okay," Xu Qing reluctantly agreed, screaming internally.

((((; °°))))

No way! No way!

Sorry Xiao Jing Nainai! You've got so many friends to play with—why are you picking on me?!

Worse still, this game is one they constantly discuss in their anime group.

That familiar shame—the fear of her mask being ripped off—flooded back.

After fiddling with the controller for a moment, both girls entered the game interface.

At first, Xu Qing was tense, her movements awkward and slow; she kept glancing nervously at Sorry Xiao Jing beside her.

But as the levels progressed,

Xu Qing became completely immersed, forgetting the tension around her, her full attention fixed on the fluffy little blue sprite on screen.

"Wow, Sister Sister Qingqing, you're amazing!" Sorry Xiao Jing suddenly exclaimed, her tone filled with surprise and admiration. "Hehe, not bad—I just have quick reflexes."

"Sorry Xiao Jing, let go of the left rope! Then jump!"

"Sorrry! My bad!"

"Oh my god, you're so clumsy!" Xu Qing couldn't help slapping Sorry Xiao Jing's thigh, her voice brimming with exasperation: "It's all your fault—we almost cleared that level!"

Sorry Xiao Jing's cheeks flushed bright red: "Sister Sister Qingqing boss, one more round, I promise I'll coordinate better!"

"Hmph! You follow my lead next time!" Xu Qing was so absorbed in the game she didn't even notice the shift in Sorry Xiao Jing's address.

Ma Ma Ma Luoluo and Li Xiaomei stood frozen, staring.

Though they called her Sorry Xiao Jing, their tone and attitude remained deeply respectful—after all, she was a real white, rich, beautiful heiress.

Yet Sister Sister Qingqing was just giving orders like a pro.

And Sorry Xiao Jing—she'd seemed so aloof and noble before—how had she suddenly turned into this?

As the game continued, their synergy skyrocketed.

"Quick! Grab that rope!"

"Got it!"

"Yay! Perfect clear!"

Sorry Xiao Jing first high-fived Xu Qing, then suddenly dropped the controller and launched herself forward to hug her.

"Sister Sister Qingqing boss, our teamwork is truly seamless."

Her voice was soft and sweet, tinged with a hint of coquettishness, as if she were about to hang entirely off Xu Qing.

Feeling the warmth radiating from Sorry Xiao Jing and her unreservedly affectionate gesture.

Xu Qing's mind went blank; she stood there frozen.

She—she—she just called me "Sister Sister Qingqing boss"?!

Could it be… that I've been exposed?!

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

I, Xu Qing, concealed myself perfectly—how could this clumsy girl have figured it out?

Yan Yan also said Sorry Xiao Jing had never asked her about my identity.

It must be because our names are the same; Sorry Xiao Jing just got used to saying it, plus I'm genuinely good at the game.

Yes! It must be that.

Xu Qing forced herself to come up with several excuses, finally calming down a little.

"Yeah, we do have good synergy, heh, heh." She laughed awkwardly, gently pushing Sorry Xiao Jing away,

trying to create some distance.

But Sorry Xiao Jing made no move to let go; instead, she rubbed her face against Xu Qing's hair. "Of course! Playing games with Sister Sister Qingqing is so much fun! Let's play together often from now on."

Ma Ma Ma Luoluo and Li Xiaomei watched, stunned, their faces filled with envy.

My god! After just two games, they've become best friends already?!

And the way they cling to each other—more than Sister Sister Qingqing and Shen Yu Yan ever did.

Xu Qing blinked, bewildered by Sorry Xiao Jing's affectionate behavior.

Hey hey hey! Who wants to play constantly with this little weirdo?!

Still, she forced a smile. "Uh—Sorry Xiao Jing, I'm feeling a bit hot."

"Really? Should I ask someone to lower the AC?"

"No need for that—just let go of me first," Xu Qing replied, her tone tinged with embarrassment.

She'd only ever been this close with her best friends; being hugged like this by Sorry Xiao Jing made her feel utterly uncomfortable.

Sorry Xiao Jing lifted her head, blinked at her playfully, a mischievous grin on her face as she whispered, "Sister Sister Qingqing boss, we finally got to meet in person—can't we play a little longer?"

A thunderous boom rang out—Xu Qing felt as if struck by lightning, her eyes wide.

She radiated an unmistakable aura of "I've been caught!"

Oh no! She really knows!

My elite lawyer persona is ruined! How will I ever survive in this circle?!

（；°°）

"Sister Sister Qingqing boss, let's go eat first. Can we play games together often? Come over to my place—my setup is top-notch!"

Xu Qing's palms began to sweat; her heart pounded as if it might leap out of her chest.

Aaah! What on earth is this little weirdo planning?!

Then she remembered some past messages on WeChat.

Her mind filled with garbled code, strange images flashing uncontrollably—tails, whips, restraints, writing, bells o(>
