CHAPTER 1585: CHAPTER 1585: PUSH HER DOWN THE STAIRS (1)

Xiao Ji was stunned for a moment, not expecting Su Hongxing to speak so bluntly.

Su Hongxing looked at him coldly: "Do you really think we can still be friends after everything? Don’t forget, we’re on opposite sides. I haven’t forgotten everything you once did to me for a single moment."

If it weren’t for Xiao Ji’s mother, she wouldn’t be able to speak calmly with Xiao Ji now.

Xiao Ji looked at Su Hongxing for a long while, his expression growing colder: "What I want to talk to you about is Xiaoqiao. Even if you don’t want to see me, you still need to come out."

After speaking, he intentionally glanced at Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao was eavesdropping on the conversation between Su Hongxing and Xiao Ji. When she heard Xiao Ji mention her name, her heart jumped to her throat.

Su Hongxing, of course, realized that Xiao Ji intended to use Qiao Qiao to threaten her.

She immediately stood up, ready to follow Xiao Ji outside.

Instinctively, Qiao Qiao also stood up, trying to stop her: "Su..."

Su Hongxing turned back to look at Qiao Qiao, giving her a slight smile: "Focus on your work. I’ll be back soon."

Qiao Qiao wanted to say more, but Su Hongxing quickly exited the company doors. She sat at her desk in a daze, deeply feeling she was a burden to Su Hongxing.

If it weren’t for her, would Su Hongxing need to endure Xiao Ji’s threats?

On the other side, Su Hongxing followed behind Xiao Ji to a nearby hotel.

As Su Hongxing arrived at the hotel entrance, it felt off to her, and she was reluctant to proceed: "Weren’t we going to eat?"

Why go to a hotel?

Xiao Ji turned back to look at Su Hongxing: "I reserved a place here..."

"There are many restaurants nearby. For a meal, there’s no need to go to a hotel." Su Hongxing retorted to Xiao Ji’s words.

Xiao Ji couldn’t help but sneer at her response: "In your mind, is my character that poor? Do you think I brought you to the hotel to use force on you?"

Su Hongxing replied with silence. Xiao Ji could even kill someone, with such heavy scheming, it’s normal for her not to trust him. After all the malicious things he’s done, does he still expect her to be as before?

Su Hongxing’s reaction cast a shadow on Xiao Ji’s expression. She wouldn’t even pretend now, how could there be any trust left? At this point, wanting to have a meal with her required using Qiao Qiao as a threat, isn’t that his own tragedy?

In the end, Xiao Ji picked a restaurant with a nice environment nearby.

After ordering the food, Su Hongxing had no appetite, "Just say what you want to say directly." She had no time to waste here with him.

Xiao Ji glanced lightly at Su Hongxing: "Eat, and stop provoking me repeatedly."

Su Hongxing looked at Xiao Ji for a long while, eventually begrudgingly picking up her chopsticks and eating with her head down. She couldn’t taste the food, and ate half a bowl of rice without Xiao Ji uttering a word.

She couldn’t stand the standoff with him any longer: "I’m full. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back to the company!"

"Xingxing, ask Ye Qilan to drop the lawsuit." Xiao Ji’s words made Su Hongxing find it laughable.

"Du Qingyu kidnapped Ye Qilan and almost killed him, that’s an indisputable fact. On what grounds do you want Ye Qilan to drop the lawsuit?" Su Hongxing coldly retorted.

"If you don’t want to push Qiao Qiao into the center of public opinion, then ask Ye Qilan to drop the lawsuit. If you promise me this favor, I assure you I’ll never use Qiao Qiao to threaten you again. You must know that even without solid evidence in my hands now, if I wanted to ruin Qiao Qiao, it would be effortless."
