GTGV Chapter 52.6

Just when Ning Chuchu was thinking about how to find a reliable person to investigate the matter, Xie Jinqiu took the initiative to speak again.

“Do you want to investigate Yun Shu? I can introduce you to a reliable person.” Xie Jinqiu’s voice was cold, but his words were very considerate.

“I’ll give you his contact information. You can contact him directly. He will keep everything about you confidential.”

The implication was that Xie Jinqiu himself would not know Ning Chuchu’s family affairs, so she could rest assured to cooperate with this person.

Ning Chuchu’s eyes lit up. She subconsciously wanted to agree. But before she opened her mouth, she hesitated inexplicably.

Just now, she had carefully examined her relationship with Xie Jinqiu and even wavered at one point.

At this critical moment when she was hesitant, she didn’t want to owe Xie Jinqiu a favor.

Too many favors would only make their relationship more complicated.

It would also make her feel constrained when making decisions.

However, Ning Chuchu was not such a rigid and inflexible person.

Since Xie Jinqiu had reliable connections, she didn’t have to fight hard on her own. If she found another unreliable person, it would be even more troublesome.

Ning Chuchu pondered for a moment, smiled, and said, “Thank you, Mr. Xie.”

Xie Jinqiu on the other end of the phone was slightly stunned. The fingers holding the phone tightened unconsciously.

At first, Ning Chuchu always called him ‘Jinqiu’ sweetly and gently; later, she would only call him ‘Jinqiu’ gently in private, but she would avoid calling him ‘Mr. Xie’ in public.

But why did she call him ‘Mr. Xie’ in such a distant and polite manner when it was obviously just the two of them talking on the phone?

Xie Jinqiu would rather believe that she was just used to it.

“It’s okay.” Xie Jinqiu’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and he responded softly.

“By the way, I remember that Xie’s beauty department has recently launched a few new products.” Ning Chuchu said with a smile.

“I will promote it for you for free. I will take the time to open a private live broadcast in two days to help you sell the goods.”

Xie Jinqiu was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and said, “No need.”

“Yes.” Ning Chuchu smiled politely.

“You helped me so much, so of course, I have to return the favor.”

Ning Chuchu is now very popular, and her value is naturally rising. Some brands can’t even get a number to cooperate with her. Even entertainment industry giants like Xie Group have to be polite if they want to cooperate with her.

Ning Chuchu is now focusing on filming movies and rarely runs announcements, let alone live streaming to sell goods.

She is willing to promote Xie Group’s beauty department, so you can imagine how much profit she can bring to them. What’s more, she promised free promotion, which is simply pie in the sky for Xie Group.

However, Xie Jinqiu himself did not feel excited at all, and his heart sank even more.

Others might define Ning Chuchu’s behavior as repaying a favor, and those who knew the inside story might even think that Ning Chuchu was only thinking about her fiancé.

But Xie Jinqiu was a smart man. He sensed something unusual in Ning Chuchu’s behavior.

Ning Chuchu did this… It seemed like she just didn’t want to owe him anything.

This behavior, which was similar to drawing a line in the sand, made Xie Jinqiu’s eyes dim.

At this moment, Ning Chuchu spoke appropriately, “By the way, Mr. Xie, I’d like to ask, what do you think of our engagement?”

Xie Jinqiu closed his eyes slightly and unconsciously clenched the pen in his hand, with veins faintly visible on the back of his hand.

The author has something to say:

System Diary – Day 52:

[Yeah, my younger brother No. 1 seems to be in trouble!]

[As the big brother, I must lend him a helping hand in time!]

Ning Chuchu: Tong, do you know what happened to the last jade bracelet that was a traitor to me…?

System: […I’m very busy, so I’m leaving 886. Contact me via the drifting bottle.]

Xie Jinqiu: … 🙂
