Xia Yuqing gave Wu Meng a look, signaling her to enter the office with her.
As soon as they were inside, she could no longer contain her inner anger.
"Gao Meng, I think Song Qiao has been getting more and more out of hand lately."
"Have you noticed that his relationship with my sister is a little… off?"
"I always feel like they're up to something behind my back."
Hearing her say this, Wu Meng's heart sank.
Xia Yuqing had indeed discovered the inappropriate relationship between Song Qiao and her sister.
She was about to speak and tell the other woman what she had seen and heard during this time.
But the words caught in her throat, unsure where to begin.
Having spent so much time with Song Qiao, although she didn't fully understand his true capabilities,
From the abilities and connections he had displayed, even if the other party was potentially a puppet,
He was certainly not useless.
She always felt that Song Qiao and that mysterious CEO had a deeper connection.
This connection felt vague and indescribable, making her hesitant now.
Once she revealed what she knew to Xia Yuqing, she would likely offend Song Qiao completely.
And at that time, she might even attract retaliation from that mysterious CEO.
"Yuqing, aren't you overthinking things? I haven't really paid attention to these matters."
After much hesitation, Gao Meng still chose to conceal the matter between Song Qiao and Xia Xueqing.
"No way, I always feel they're too close. They often go out together when they have free time."
"Song Qiao used to greet me, but now he doesn't even tell me where he's going."
Xia Yuqing frowned, pouring out all her dissatisfaction to her best friend.
"Oh, Yuqing, are you too tired lately? You're starting to get suspicious of everything."
"Let's not think about this anymore, okay? I heard our city just opened a new shooting range. Let's go tomorrow."
"Just to help you relax, alright? I'll tell you, I even took archery lessons abroad for a while."
Wu Meng clearly didn't want to bring this up at the moment and subtly steered the conversation away.
Seeing this, Xia Yuqing could only reluctantly put the matter aside, no longer mentioning it to her best friend.
...
After Song Qiao and Xia Xueqing returned to the villa.
Xia Xueqing immediately pouted with dissatisfaction, her face falling.
Song Qiao had rushed to help Xia Yuqing when he heard she was in trouble today, without hesitation.
And he had sternly stopped her from going along.
This made her feel jealous once again.
It seemed that although her brother-in-law had a significant rift with her sister,
She wouldn't be able to replace her sister anytime soon.
"Brother-in-law, Wu Meng and my sister are planning to go to the newly opened shooting range in our city tomorrow."
"Do you want to come with us?"
Xia Xueqing lay lazily on the sofa, speaking to Song Qiao in a sweet, coy tone.
"I don't think I will. I still have things to do at the company."
Song Qiao frowned and was about to refuse.
He had been avoiding Xia Yuqing recently and definitely didn't want to appear in such a situation.
Moreover, he wasn't particularly interested in archery.
"Noooo, I just want you to accompany me. My sister and Wu Meng are best friends, so I'll be lonely playing by myself, won't I?"
With this cunningly phrased sentence, Xia Xueqing managed to pull Song Qiao to her side.
"Alright, alright, I'll go with you. Isn't that enough?"
Song Qiao was most afraid of Xia Xueqing pulling a stunt like this, and his heart softened, so he agreed.
"Yay!"
"I knew brother-in-law was the best!"
Seeing that Song Qiao had agreed, Xia Xueqing's face lit up with joy, and she lunged into Song Qiao's arms…
The next day, not long after Xia Yuqing and Wu Meng arrived at the shooting range.
Xia Xueqing, arm in arm with Song Qiao, stepped out of the car.
Seeing this, Xia Yuqing's face immediately darkened.
These two were clearly trying to put her in her place.
However, Xia Xueqing acted as if nothing was wrong.
She waved cheerfully and said, "Sis, I didn't expect you to be here so early."
"It's all my fault for insisting on trying on clothes, which made us a bit late."
Looking at her innocent demeanor, Xia Yuqing's anger dissipated, unsure where to direct it.
If she said anything now, she would seem petty and quarrel with her own sister.
For now, she could only swallow this bitter pill.
Wu Meng watched from the side. Although she remained silent, she couldn't help but admire Xia Xueqing's boldness.
This was clearly a deliberate provocation, and she had made Xia Yuqing helpless against her own sister.
"Song Qiao, I need to tell you something."
At that moment, Xia Yuqing walked up with a thunderous expression and said calmly to her husband.
"Mr. Mo from Huihuang Group approached me. He said that if you don't support Ye Zhiwei, they can cooperate with our company."
"And they will specifically sign three projects worth over a million each with us."
"Tell him it's impossible. I will help Ye Zhiwei, no matter what. I don't care about these projects."
Song Qiao refused with absolute certainty.
"Hmph, I've already agreed to them. Do you really have to help that Ye Zhiwei?"
Seeing Song Qiao's attitude, Xia Yuqing became even more enraged.
"Ye Zhiwei is my friend, and I must help her."
"If friends have to consider benefits, then such a character is truly contemptible."
Song Qiao glanced at her and replied indifferently.
His words implied that Xia Yuqing was insincere and only cared about climbing the social ladder.
"You..."
Xia Yuqing, who was about to continue her persuasion, was choked back by this remark.
"Fine. You're going against your wife for your friend, aren't you?"
"Song Qiao, you've really gotten ambitious now. Do you think you can really deal with Huihuang Group just by helping Ye Zhiwei?"
"Don't dream. I will definitely support Mo Ling on this. I want to show you how overconfident your actions are in front of such a behemoth."
Xia Yuqing's voice grew more agitated, eventually bordering on hysterical.
Wu Meng on the side quickly tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Yuqing, we came out to have fun today. Can we not talk about work?"
Song Qiao was utterly exasperated by Xia Yuqing's words.
Although Xia Yuqing was in charge of Tianhong Company, the initial operating funds had all come from him.
Now his wife was acting like she'd lost her mind, leading the company to join forces with his opponent.
This behavior was simply outrageous.
"Whatever you want. Do as you please."
"Anyway, Ye Zhiwei and I will definitely win against that crazy woman Mo Ling."
"If the company goes under then, don't blame me for being ruthless."
After speaking, Song Qiao casually picked up a bow and arrow and started fiddling with it, completely ignoring his wife's livid expression.
