"Who knows?"

Lin Xi walked in, staring at Qiaoqiao, and said, "You really don't know where I went?"

A hint of panic flashed in Qiaoqiao's eyes, and she stammered, "How would I know?"

"Yeah, she messes around outside and then turns around and bites back. No wonder she's being kept by someone." One of the girls inadvertently blurted this out.

The room fell silent.

Lin Xi turned her gaze to her, her eyes slightly cold, her tone unusually calm, "What did you just say? Say it again!"

The girl was a little startled and took a step back, but seeing that everyone around her was staring at her, she could only suppress her urge to back down and brace herself to say loudly, "What's wrong with me saying it again? So what if you got into a man's luxury car and are being kept by someone? You can't even let people talk about it!"

Lin Xi looked at her, sensing a blatant attempt to cover something up. Then, glancing at the slightly mocking glances around them, she narrowed her eyes. "Do you have any proof? You think I'm being kept just because I got into a luxury car?"

The man mustered his courage and looked at Lin Xi with jealousy. "You're just relying on your looks, aren't you? Otherwise, do you want to tell me which rich heiress you are? Besides, we have photos of you getting into luxury cars."

As Qiaoqiao listened to their conversation, a gleeful smile appeared on her face, but a deep, sinister look was hidden in her eyes, distorting her originally pretty face and making it somewhat twisted.

Hmph, Lin Xi, let's see how you turn things around this time!

"Photos? What photos?"

"Xi Xi, this." An An quickly found the file they had sent and handed it to Lin Xi.

Taking the phone, Lin Xi said with amusement, "The car I provide for my bodyguard only costs a few million, and you guys call it a luxury car? That's ridiculous."

"Bodyguard? Who is she trying to fool? Who would provide a bodyguard with a car worth millions? They must have money to burn."

"Yeah, this is way too much of a boast."

"Lin Xi, even if you want to explain, you should at least come up with a better excuse. This is so outrageous, who would believe it?" Qiaoqiao said with a mocking expression.

"Exactly, exactly! They think we're all idiots!"

"Xi Xi, I believe in you." An An looked at Lin Xi with a serious expression.

Lin Xi nodded to her, her gaze sweeping over everyone present, her tone slightly cool, "Who said I was explaining?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at each person in turn. "Last Friday, I saw you and an old man check into a hotel. You didn't come out for a long time. I guess you two were having a great time playing games inside."

"Who owns a hotel? Don't talk nonsense!" the woman said angrily when she saw everyone around her looking at her.

However, this reaction was perceived by others as a sign of guilt.

"So that's what kind of person she is. She seems quite innocent on the surface."

"Exactly, but then again, I wouldn't want her even if she were given to me for free. I can only look for older men."

"You! I didn't do it, Lin Xi is just making things up!" As she spoke, she was about to step forward to attack, but An An directly blocked her way.

"Get out of my way! I'll tear her mouth apart today so she can stop spreading rumors everywhere!" the man said, brandishing his claws.

"No way! You know it's a rumor now? Why didn't you say anything when you were spreading rumors about Lin Xi?!" An An retorted forcefully.

"Then it's true for her, but this never happened to me. She didn't even see it with her own eyes, so what makes her say that?"

"So you saw me being kept by a sugar daddy? You know the time, the place, and the person who kept me, right? You can say I was kept by someone just because I got into a luxury car, but I can't say you were taken advantage of just because you went into a hotel?" Lin Xi said bluntly.

"But that's what everyone says," the man said stubbornly, though his tone was noticeably weaker.

"Is what everyone is saying true? Since everyone is talking about you now, does that mean what you did is also true?"

"I... I didn't..." The person's voice grew weaker and weaker until it was as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

"I don't know how you spread these rumors, but if these rumors resurface, regardless of whether you spread them or not, I guarantee that those of you who were involved will receive court summonses the next day!"

Lin Xi spoke calmly, yet exuded an aura that could not be ignored.

Everyone present was silent for a few seconds.

Qiaoqiao was somewhat unwilling, "You say you received a court summons, so it's a court summons? We have freedom of speech."

Lin Xi wasn't angry. She just looked at her with a foolish expression and raised her eyebrows. "You can try."

Lin Xi suddenly thought of something amusing and said with a light laugh, "Qiaoqiao, you're a rich, beautiful, and fair-skinned girl, right?"

“Yes.” Qiaoqiao puffed out her chest involuntarily upon hearing this.

"Even if no one pays for you today, you should be able to afford it, right?" Lin Xi continued.

"Then...of course! Don't even mention this little bit, I can afford any amount!" Qiaoqiao raised her head and said with a smug look on her face.

Anyway, I don't have to pay now, and blowing on it a couple of times won't hurt me!

"What, you're not going to order anything else? Sure, order whatever you want," Qiaoqiao said with a hearty expression.

"Wow, Qiaoqiao is so generous! We've been her colleagues for so many years and we never noticed."

"The main thing is that Qiaoqiao is a friend of the young owner of this store, which is really impressive."

Those present whispered among themselves.

Qiaoqiao laughed even more smugly, her expression becoming increasingly arrogant.

"You're probably being so generous because you think you don't have to pay, right? But what if you still have to pay later?"

"Hahaha, how could that be? I'm the young master's friend. Do you know who the young master is? This whole shop belongs to him." Qiaoqiao stood up and said, her arrogant expression undiminished.

Lin Xi smiled gently, "What if the friend he's talking about isn't you? Have you thought about that?"

"How could that be? You're not trying to say that person was you, are you?"

"Yeah, Lin Xi doesn't think she's the young master's friend, does she? Don't be ridiculous, who would believe that?"

"Hey, look at Lin Xi's bag, isn't it the same as Qiao Qiao's? But didn't Qiao Qiao say this was the last one?"

"One of these must be fake."

Upon hearing this, Qiaoqiao panicked for a moment and quickly covered her bag.

Lin Xi watched her attempt to cover up her actions with a half-smile.

"Then Lin Xi's must be fake. Qiaoqiao is a rich young lady, how could she buy fake goods?"

"That's true. The most valuable thing she owns is probably this fake bag, since it can fool people who don't know any better."

Qiaoqiao instantly regained her confidence.

So what if it's a fake bag? As long as her status speaks for itself, then her bag is genuine!

Lin Xi was amused by their words, but she didn't respond to that. Instead, she went back to the previous question, "So if no one pays for you, you can definitely afford it, since you're so rich, right?"

"of course."

She sent a message directly to Ye Jinran.
