CHAPTER 318: CHAPTER 318: POISONOUS PLAN 3_1

This time I absolutely have to take lots of photos with her, Zhou Xiaoxuan thought. When I post them on Chat-Blog, I wonder how many people will be envious.

Zhang Jingning, carefully observing her expression, said respectfully, "Miss, please feel free to say whatever is on your mind."

Zhou Ting smiled. "I just invited you here today for a casual chat. By the way, Little Xuanyuan, you and Yan Xixi were college classmates, right?"

"Yes, we were classmates in both high school and college."

Zhou Xiaoxuan had actually already guessed most of it before she arrived. Although this was their first face-to-face meeting, Zhou Ting had called and contacted her previously. Moreover, she had also done a few things according to Zhou Ting’s instructions.

Zhou Ting, in fact, already knew the details of her relationship with Yan Xixi perfectly well. Now, she was merely making small talk.

"Does Yan Xixi have any close relatives or friends now?"

Zhou Xiaoxuan answered cautiously, "Her parents passed away a long time ago, and she doesn’t have much contact with other relatives."

She gossiped about many of Yan Xixi’s affairs until Zhang Jingning shot her a look. She then stopped awkwardly and said, "That’s about all I know. Oh, by the way, she has a very good friend named Xu Xiaoya, the one who runs that boutique for her..."

Zhou Ting’s expression didn’t change. "That’s the luxury boutique in the city center, right?"

"Yes."

"I’ve known for a while that Wan Donglin opened it for her."

At last, the name Wan Donglin was spoken.

Zhou Xiaoxuan blurted out, "Third Master definitely doesn’t genuinely like her. He’s just toying with her at most! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have beaten her so violently..."

Zhang Jingning glared at her fiercely. Realizing she had misspoken, she immediately fell silent.

Zhou Ting said, still with a nonchalant air, "I just invited you here today for a casual chat. Alright, I’m glad to have met you both. I have some other matters to attend to, so I’ll arrange to meet you another day."

After they bid farewell to Zhou Ting and got into the car, Zhou Xiaoxuan suddenly cried out, "It’s ruined, all ruined..."

"What are you wailing about?"

"I forgot to take a photo with her... Oh my God, I missed such a golden opportunity! If I could have gotten a photo with her, my social standing would have skyrocketed! That would have meant I’d truly entered high society..."

Zhang Jingning was extremely impatient. "You still wanted to take a photo with her to post on Chat-Blog? Are you insane?"

"How am I insane?"

"She’s already broken up with Third Master. Why would you want to get so close to her? Why would you want to offend Third Master?"

She said dismissively, "It’s just taking a photo with her. How would that offend Third Master?"

"Haven’t you realized yet? It’s obvious she’s planning to deal with Yan Xixi. Yan Xixi’s meddling must be what caused her breakup with Third Master. Think about it—they had already sent out wedding invitations, and all their relatives and friends knew. But now, Third Master isn’t getting married. Before, the story was that he had a terminal illness, but he doesn’t look terminally ill to me. Yan Xixi must have been scheming behind the scenes! That woman is laughably overconfident, daring to provoke Zhou Ting. For a family like theirs, how hard could it be to deal with some powerless woman?"

Zhou Xiaoxuan was startled. "How are they going to deal with her? Surely they wouldn’t... kill Yan Xixi?"

"That’s not impossible."

Zhou Xiaoxuan felt a chill run down her spine.

"Little Xuanyuan, she definitely wants to use you to gather information. She knows you’re familiar with Xu Xiaoya. In my opinion, you’d best avoid getting yourself burned in the future."

Zhou Xiaoxuan became nervous. Although she thoroughly disliked Yan Xixi, she definitely hadn’t reached the point of wanting her dead.

"But Zhou Ting sought me out. What can I do? If I refuse, wouldn’t I offend her?"
