Novel Full Chapter 199 - Xi Qian's Troubles (1)
Su Xiaofei had almost forgotten about Ye Mingyu as the latter hadn't shown up for days. However, that morning, she and Xi Qian met Ye Mingyu in the hallway outside their class. She looked more distressed than usual, not that Su Xiaofei was worried about her, but something must have happened for Ye Mingyu to act like this.
"Feifei, what's the status for Aunty Qing's divorce case?" Xi Qian asked as Ye Mingyu ignored them and went inside her own classroom.
"Not sure. It has only been a week since Mama sued him. Whether he likes it or not, he would have no other choice but to sign those papers." Su Xiaofei replied nonchalantly.
Su Haoran's world was starting to get smaller. Su Xiaofei would like to see how her beloved Da Jie would be able to turn the tables in their favor. She refused to believe that the Ye Mingyu she knew in her past life would easily accept defeat like this.
Once they returned to their classroom and took a seat, Su Xiaofei then noticed that her best friend looked uneasy as there was a slight frown on her face, which indicated that something was bothering her.
"Qian, did something happen? You know you can tell me anything, right?" She asked with a low voice, making sure that no one would overhear their conversation.
"Actually, Feifei. My parents recently found out that my house is being purchased by the developer. They came to my house this weekend and were insisting on representing me for the sale, not knowing that I've already sold it with Lu Qingfeng's help." Xi Qian admitted.
"Then are you worried that they will hit you again if they found out that you already sold it?" Su Xiaofei narrowed her eyes.
Thankfully, with Lu Qingfeng's help, Xi Qian had already sold her house. In Su Xiaofei's past life, her best friend refused to sell her home, which led to several issues coming from her own parents who wanted to get their hands on the money and from the developing company that was pressuring her into submission.
No matter how hard she tried to convince Xi Qian to sell the property, her best friend refused to listen to her. Thinking about it, Su Xiaofei wondered what made Xi Qian easily agree this time when she had vehemently refused to listen to anyone in the past.
In her previous life, because her parents refused to help her pay her tuition fee and give her financial support, Xi Qian wasn't able to enroll in med school to become a doctor. Instead, she worked numerous part-time jobs and attended a local public university and became a nurse.
Su Xiaofei wondered if this was alright. One reason why Xi Qian was able to meet Li Xiran in the past was because she became a private nurse for his father. If things turned out different this time, wouldn't this mean that the chance for Xi Qian to meet the love of her life would also reduce significantly?
Obviously, Su Xiaofei also wanted her best friend to lead a happier life this time, but if changing the course of events would cause a butterfly effect, then she could only hope that Xi Qian would meet Li Xiran regardless of the changes in this lifetime.
Xi Qian nodded her head in shame. Not only did she have a pair of irresponsible parents, they were also abusive whenever she was with them.
Su Xiaofei sighed. If she wasn't preoccupied with the Yun family banquet, she would have gone to Xi Qian's place and confronted her shameless parents.
"Qian, why don't you just move to my apartment? My place has tight security and the guards wouldn't allow them in. Since I'm still the house owner, I can blacklist them from the guest list. This way, they wouldn't be able to harass you." She suggested.
Xi Qian remained silent for a moment. What Su Xiaofei had just said made sense to her, and it wasn't like her parents knew where she was working. Eventually they would find out that she had already sold her house and would surely ask her for their share. Knowing her parents, they would surely make a scene and would paint her as an unfilial daughter.
She bit her lower lip and sighed. Su Xiaofei knew her so well.
"Thanks, Feifei. I'll make sure to settle my debts in the future." She promised her best friend.
"Qian, what are you saying? There's no need to worry about this. Just tell me when you are free, and I'll help you move into my apartment." Su Xiaofei dismissed Xi Qian's worries. She knew that if she was the one in need, Xi Qian would also do her best to help her.
"How about this coming weekend? You aren't busy, are you?" Xi Qian asked. She knew about the banquet Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng attended last Saturday and while her best friend extended an invitation for her to attend, Xi Qian once again declined it.
Xi Qian was fully aware that her world was vastly different from her best friend and Lu Qingfeng and if it wasn't for her scholarship, she had no doubt that she wouldn't be able to attend QCA with them.
"Can't we do it by Friday afternoon or Sunday instead? I'm going to Bluemedia with Mama on Saturday. You don't need to bring much, Qian, since most of the things you might need are already available in my apartment." Su Xiaofei responded, she then made a mental note to check her wardrobe later for the appropriate attire she should wear during her visit to Bluemedia.
"I have free time on Friday. I'll start packing my things then, so we won't have to move so many boxes.." Xi Qian agreed with her as she started to list down the things she would need to buy to pack up her things before her parents caught whiff of her plans on moving out.
