Under such a gaze, song qingxiao felt a shiver run down her spine. Goosebumps appeared on her arms and back. Her hair stood on end and cold air seeped out of her pores.
At this moment, her brain was spinning desperately, trying to think of a way to escape.
She had been a little careless tonight. Xue Li had probably noticed that she was trying to get the woman to spill the beans. The atmosphere between the two had become a little off. If Mr. Zhou asked her now, Xue Li would tell him everything that they had just said. Song qingxiao would probably have to bear the consequences today.
Her heart began to beat faster. Although her face did not change, a thin layer of sweat had already formed on her forehead and the tip of her nose, which had been dried by the wind.
Xue Li’s eyes, like Mr. Zhou’s, fell on song qingxiao. She lowered her head and seemed to be very respectful.
Mr. Zhou’s gaze returned to Shirley. After hearing his question, Shirley respectfully replied,”
1 heard some noise outside, so 1 came out to take a look. 1 almost fell, so this lady helped me up and chatted with me.
To song qingxiao’s surprise, Xue Li didn’t mention the content of their conversation, nor did she mention anything about the island. When Mr. Zhou heard her, his brows furrowed slightly, and his breath stopped for a moment. This kind of behavior showed that he had some doubts about Shirley’s words.
It was a good thing that he was suspicious. It proved that he didn’t hear the conversation between song qingxiao and Xue Li and was just guessing.
“Did you thank him?”
“Thank you.”
Shirley nodded. When she mentioned ‘thank you’, her expression was still very cold. It didn’t look like she had a good impression of someone.
She leaned over to Mr. Zhou and whispered song qingxiao’s identity,”
her surname is song, and her name is song qingxiao. She comes from a poor family and only has one mother. She signed up for the interview because she was worried about the school fees. She passed the requirements and was recruited into the team after she passed.
Song qingxiao focused on listening to her introduction to Mr. Zhou. The suspicion in Mr. Zhou’s eyes faded a little.
it should be a poor man who has not seen much of the world. He mentioned that you look familiar and did not know that you have been in newspapers and magazines. He did not know much about your identity.
When she said this, she completely dispelled the doubts in Mr. Zhou’s heart.
Song qingxiao was poor both inside and outside of the trial, so it was impossible for her to have anything to do with someone like Mr. Zhou. From Xue Li’s words, he knew that she was just a ’country bumpkin’ who had not seen much of the world, so it was impossible for her to have any relationship with Xue Li.
Furthermore, when Mr. Zhou came over, he did see that the atmosphere between the two did not seem to be harmonious, so he quickly wiped away the trace of suspicion in his heart and did not bother to say anything more to song Qing.
After confirming that she didn’t understand his actions, he coldly left with Shirley.
After the two of them left, song qingxiao heaved a long sigh of relief.
At first, song Qing was surprised that Xue Li would cover for her, but after thinking it through, she didn’t find it strange.
After all, although she had found out about Shirley’s whereabouts and took the initiative to get information from Shirley, it was Shirley herself who had revealed the information. If Shirley confessed about herself, she might not have a good end.
Therefore, when Mr. Zhou asked her about it, she cleverly chose to hide it. She saved song qingxiao and herself.
However, from this incident, it could be seen that Xue Li was so afraid of Mr. Zhou, which proved that this person was a ruthless person. Even the people around him who had helped him in charity and returned the favor were so afraid of him. It could be imagined how terrifying this person was.
After getting some important information, song qingxiao didn’t stay on the deck. She got the information she wanted and turned to her room. She was going to digest the information she just got.
Back in front of her room, she scanned her fingerprint to enter the room. The temperature of the air conditioner in the room had dropped a lot, but it was still very cold. Because of the speed at which the frost melted, the room felt damp.
On the bed were some basic daily necessities that Mr. Zhou and the others had provided for the hired people. Song qingxiao went into the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out and lay on the bed, she began to sort out the news she had received that night.
First of all, there was no doubt that Mr. Zhou was a rich man. More than a decade ago, he had invested in a certain business on the island. Now that it was time for him to reap the ‘harvest’, he had hired a group of people to go to the island to reap the fruits of his victory.
However, on the way to the island, Mr. Zhou had concealed this matter very well and seemed to be very reluctant to let others know along the way. It could be imagined that the things on the island must be very important to him, and he could not leak this information..
