The chief ex-husband won't let go of Yi Xiaobao

This woman had come to "Night Charm" with Gu Moxuan after all, and she spoke calmly and composedly.

She, on the other hand, was forced into this situation to save face, wanting to teach Lin Qingran a lesson.

Feeling very insecure, she naturally assumed it was Gu Moxuan when someone grabbed her arm.

She looked panicked and immediately lowered her head.

"Mr. Gu... I just wanted to teach this woman who's been bothering you a lesson, that's all."

Seeing Eileen's current cowardly and bullying attitude, Nie Jingchen smiled.

"Then you should thank me for coming. If it were Mo Xuan who came, your hand would be broken."

Hearing Nie Jingchen's voice, Eileen breathed a sigh of relief. Her expression was no longer as arrogant as before; instead, she became coquettish.

"Mr. Nie, you're so mean! How could you scare me like that? My heart can't take it."

She leaned into Nie Jingchen's arms, but as soon as she did, Nie Jingchen pushed her away.

"Go down and pack your things. You don't need to come to work here starting tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Eileen's expression changed drastically; she never expected such words to come from Nie Jingchen's mouth.

After all, among the Gang of Four, Nie Jingchen had the best temper.

Moreover, for beautiful women, it's even better than the best.

"Mr. Nie, you're trying to tease me again."

Nie Jingchen shook his head, glanced at Eileen who looked shocked, and said calmly.

"I'm not kidding you. 'Night Charm' doesn't need such clueless staff. If you don't even recognize the young mistress of the Gu family, what will you do when 'Night Charm' has even more distinguished guests in the future?"

"Isn't that right, Second Sister-in-law?"

As Nie Jingchen spoke, he looked at Lin Qingran with a hint of flattery in his eyes.

Eileen's otherwise pretty face changed drastically when she heard Nie Jingchen address Lin Qingran.

Second sister-in-law?

Among the four, Gong Juncheng ranked first, Gu Moxuan second, Nie Jingchen third, and Chen Cen'an fourth.

Nie Jingchen called Lin Qingran "Second Sister-in-law".

That means Lin Qingran is Gu Moxuan's wife.

Everyone in the entire northern city knows that Gu Moxuan is already married.

His wife, however, has always been a mystery, and no one has ever seen her.

So when Eileen saw Lin Qingran, she naturally didn't think in that direction.

Eileen felt her legs go weak; she hadn't expected to offend Gu Moxuan's wife.

Wasn't it said that Gu Moxuan and his wife had a bad relationship? Why would he bring her to such an occasion?

Eileen felt a headache coming on when she thought of Chen Cen'an's expression when he saw Lin Qingran. She should have been more careful back then.

Seeing Eileen's face suddenly turn pale, Lin Qingran's gaze shifted to Nie Jingchen.

"You want to find out about Zhao Xiang?"

Nie Jingchen chuckled softly and said.

"My second sister-in-law understands me best, but I'm inquiring about her not because I've fallen for her, but because I feel guilty and want to know what's going on with her..."

Lin Qingran glanced calmly at Eileen, who had already been taken away, and said in a composed tone.

"She's engaged, and her fiancé is also from a powerful and influential family. I thought since you and Gu Moxuan are such good friends, he must have been giving you all sorts of information. What, he didn't tell you?"

Nie Jingchen gave an awkward smile, his expression somewhat embarrassed.

Lin Qingran and Zhao Xiang grew up together and have a very good relationship.

One has a fiery personality, the other a gentle one.

Lin Qingran can be said to be Zhao Xiang's best friend, and she should know more information than many other people.

However, she only revealed some superficial information to him, clearly not wanting to mention Zhao Xiang to him.

Ever since he learned some news about Zhao Xiang that night, Zhao Xiang has been like a curse on his mind, impossible to shake off.

Nie Jingchen finally made up his mind to ask Lin Qingran, but he didn't expect to get such a reply.

"As long as she's doing well, that's all that matters."

Lin Qingran glanced at him indifferently, her expression cold.

How do you know she's doing well?

"After all, your elopement and abandonment of her caused quite a stir back then. Even if she's engaged now, if her in-laws know about this, wouldn't they look down on her?"

"However, since you never intended to take responsibility from the beginning, whether she is doing well or not seems to have nothing to do with you. Why does Mr. Nie need to ask so many questions?"

As Lin Qingran spoke, she walked past Nie Jingchen with a calm and composed expression, showing no sign of disgust.

However, she made Nie Jingchen feel ashamed in front of her.

Watching Lin Qingran's retreating figure, Nie Jingchen took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"I just wanted to know about her situation. Since you won't tell me, then forget it. I'll find out through other channels."

Lin Qingran's thin lips curled slightly as she stopped and slowly turned to look at Nie Jingchen, her smile cool.

"Is a woman you abandoned really worth all the trouble of searching for?"

Her eyes were intense, and the smile that spilled from her lips had a hint of mockery.

"Two years ago you ran away from your wedding and refused to take responsibility for her. Two years later, she wants to hide, so naturally she won't let you find her. The Zhao family now is not the Zhao family it used to be."

"Mr. Nie wants to live off the Zhao family, but he should consider whether he is qualified."

After she finished speaking, she looked away and turned to leave.

Nie Jingchen stood there, feeling a tightness in his chest.

He leaned against the wall, took out a cigarette from the pack, lit it, and the red dot on the cigarette butt flickered on and off, just like the expression on his face at that moment.

He took a deep drag of his cigarette, pressed the back of his head against the wall, exhaled the smoke, and looked somewhat melancholy.

When Elsa came to the restroom, she saw Nie Jingchen's indifferent expression.

"Mr. Nie."

She stopped a distance away and looked at him calmly.

Upon hearing this, Nie Jingchen turned his head slightly to look at her, and felt that Elsa, who was standing not far away, looked somewhat like Lin Qingran, who had just left.

No wonder that ever since she joined "Night Charm," Gu Moxuan has always had her by his side whenever he comes here.

"Hi~"

Nie Jingchen smiled and resumed his usual frivolous demeanor.

Elsa smiled faintly and didn't chat with Nie Jingchen any longer before stepping into the restroom.

Although Nie Jingchen seems to be affectionate, he is also the most ruthless one.

Therefore, although Elsa always stayed by Gu Moxuan's side, she never overstepped her bounds and flirted with Nie Jingchen.

Because she knew that Nie Jingchen was far more ruthless than the seemingly cold-hearted Gu Moxuan.

You can tell from the fact that no woman has ever been able to stay with him a second time.

Nie Jingchen threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with his foot, composed himself, and walked towards the booth.

Gong Juncheng had already left the booth sometime earlier.

Gu Moxuan had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and his steps were a little unsteady. Chen Cen'an went over to support him and whispered something to him.

"Second brother, I'll take you back."

Seeing this, Nie Jingchen pretended to have a headache and rubbed his forehead.

"Cen An, you should see me off first. Second brother, let your wife take me back. I'm not going to make it."

Chen Cen'an, looking displeased, kicked him.

"I know your alcohol tolerance perfectly well."

Nie Jingchen wasn't angry. He grabbed Gu Moxuan's neck and pulled him away, not forgetting to tell him before leaving.

"Second brother, put it on your tab tonight."
