Chapter 936: Chapter 917: Childhood Sweethearts

Lou Xi walked towards the main residence while calling Qin Mobai.

“Are you busy?” Lou Xi asked Qin Mobai first, after all, this man was often in meetings and such, and Lou Xi didn’t want to disturb him.

“Not busy.” Even if he was very busy, Qin Mobai would have to say he wasn’t when it was his wife calling!

He held the phone and sat in the highest chair in the meeting room, raising his hand to signal the meeting to continue.

“Do you know Lu Jin?”

“I know.”

Everyone looked at Qin Mobai’s expression, very serious, very earnest. They were all speculating that Qin Mobai might be talking to someone very important, which is why his expression was so serious.

“Just now Mo Xi said someone from the Lu Family came to propose, and she said Lu Jin was seeking revenge on her because she had pushed him into the pool earlier. Is this true?” Lou Xi asked Qin Mobai.

Qin Mobai covered the phone with one hand and told Su Lin to preside over the meeting because he had to step out to take a call.

So everyone watched Qin Mobai leave the meeting room, guessing that this phone call might be a tricky one.

Qin Mobai went out onto the terrace, which was empty, as he held the phone.

“There seems to be something like that. Two years ago, on Mo Xi’s birthday, during the banquet, she did push someone into the pool, although it was eventually clarified as a misunderstanding.”

“Then isn’t it a bit petty for Lu Jin to want to marry Mo Xi over a misunderstanding?” Although when comforting Qin Moxi earlier, Lou Xi hadn’t said these words, he just felt something was strange about Lu Jin.

“Lu Jin,” Qin Mobai paused, seemingly thinking of the right words, “he’s a decent person with a bit more honing over two years. For now, he’s too sharp and prone to mistakes.”

Getting such an assessment from Qin Mobai made Lou Xi think this person wasn’t bad at heart.

Approaching the entrance to the main residence, Lou Xi wondered whether to go in or not. After all, she wanted to help Qin Moxi look around; she couldn’t let Qin Moxi hang herself on Fu Sinian’s tree alone!

“And compared to Fu Sinian?”

“Is that even comparable?” Qin Mobai retorted, “To be friends with me, Qin Mobai, is not something ordinary people could match?”

While complimenting Fu Sinian, Qin Mobai managed to compliment himself too.

This man…

“By the way, Lu Jin has a sister named Lu Xingchen, who grew up together with Fu Sinian.”

“Childhood friends…” Lou Xi thought unfulfilled childhood friendships were the killer of another relationship, “I don’t think I ever asked you if you have any childhood friends!”

When asked this question, Qin Mobai seemed to pause, as if really thinking about whether he had any childhood friends.

“Think carefully before you answer, otherwise…” Otherwise, you’ll be sleeping on the couch tonight!

“I do.” Qin Mobai admitted.

“You do? How come I didn’t know? Who is she, is she pretty? Where is she now?”

Even over the phone, Qin Mobai could sense Lou Xi’s jealousy.

“Do you have a mirror nearby?”

Lou Xi frowned, not knowing why Qin Mobai asked, but answered nonetheless, “There’s a mirror in the main residence’s entrance.”

“Stand in front of the mirror.”

“Alright, I’m standing.” Lou Xi stood in front of the mirror, seeing only herself in it.

“My childhood friend is the person you’re seeing now.”

Suddenly, Lou Xi’s heart started pounding, her girlish heart exploding.

“My childhood friend came a bit late, we met when I was sixteen, and then we were apart for a long time.”

And that person was Lou Xi.
