The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 1073 - 460: Tan Shuya Arranges to Meet Song Qiao

Song Qiao naturally knew that Gu Xiyan liked Shinian, since he wasn’t blind, he could clearly see the sparkle in the little girl’s eyes every time she saw his cousin.

After all, having been through it himself, he could see it at a glance.

The two of them were like good sisters, holding hands and walking straight toward the dressing room.

Not far away, Fang Qing, who was sitting there waiting for the next scene, watched Song Qiao and Gu Xiyan leave and couldn’t help clenching her fist as she tried to suppress some emotion.

While glaring fiercely at Song Qiao’s back, someone hurriedly ran up to her, and respectfully said, "Miss Fang."

Fang Qing withdrew her gaze and looked at the newcomer, but her brows furrowed, and she asked with displeasure, "Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on that woman?"

The person wore a somewhat flustered expression and immediately said, "Miss Fang, last night we lost track of that woman’s whereabouts..."

Fang Qing’s face changed instantly upon hearing this, and she sharply questioned, "What did you just say? How could someone just disappear without a trace? What are your people even doing?"

Her face looked extremely unpleasant, even alternating between green and white, her eyes full of anger as she stared at the person in front of her.

The woman’s face didn’t look good either, especially facing Fang Qing’s aggressive attitude; she actually wanted to retort, "Come and do it yourself if you’re capable."

But knowing that Fang Qing had Xi Mohan behind her, she didn’t dare say such words and could only suppress her anger and reply, "Last night, the woman was picked up by an unknown man. The other party sensed that we were secretly tracking them, and directly shook us off, causing us to lose their trail..."

This matter couldn’t entirely be blamed on them, after all, the other party was extremely alert, and their people had even been covertly warned by them.

Even though they didn’t know who the person was, they understood that the person’s identity must not be simple.

This also meant that they still hadn’t discovered who the person was.

Upon hearing this, Fang Qing nearly ground her teeth in anger, already hating the man who emerged out of nowhere to take Ning Wan away.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Qing looked at the woman beside her and said, "I don’t care what method you use, I want you to find that woman’s whereabouts as soon as possible and make her disappear from An City without a trace, otherwise your detective agency doesn’t need to operate anymore."

The woman’s face looked a bit grim, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I understand."

After the woman left, Fang Qing looked viciously at Song Qiao and the others’ departing backs, unconsciously clenching her hand into a fist.

Having managed to stay by Xi Mohan’s side, and with Xi Mohan having already forgotten about Ning Wan, she absolutely could not let him remember that woman again, or else everything she had done would be in vain.

...

Song Qiao had long expected that Tan Shuya would eventually seek her out, but hadn’t thought she would do so this soon.

Having just finished work and instructed the driver to take Gu Xiyan home, she sat in the taxi she had called, when her phone in her bag rang. Taking it out, she saw it was an unfamiliar number, without any remarks, but after hesitating for a moment, she swiped to answer and put it to her ear, "Hello, who’s this?"

The other end of the phone was silent for a while before Tan Shuya’s voice came through, "Song Qiao, it’s Tan Shuya."

Song Qiao was stunned; she hadn’t expected it to be her calling. After being silent for a dozen seconds, she asked, "How do you have my number?"

Tan Shuya’s tone was devoid of extra emotions as she replied, "With my current capabilities, finding your number is very simple, there’s no need for you to be surprised."

Song Qiao pursed her lips, suddenly not wanting to say anything more.

In the next moment, before she could speak again, she heard Tan Shuya continue on the other end, "Song Qiao, you should know I’m calling because of Lu Jingchen... Shall we meet?"

Song Qiao didn’t immediately refuse, thought about it, and then replied, "Okay, pick a time." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Now would be good, I’m waiting for you at the Mingdian Cafe downtown."

After hanging up the phone, Song Qiao lowered her gaze to her phone, momentarily lost in thought, then raised her head to instruct the driver, "Sir, please take me to the Mingdian Cafe."

The driver agreed, indicating he understood.

Not knowing what Lu Jingchen was up to, Song Qiao thought for a while and decided to send him a text.

Meanwhile, the man in the conference room was focused on the proposal in his hands when his phone on the desk suddenly vibrated. He lifted his head from the proposal and saw the message on the phone.

[I’m done here, but I have some things to handle first. I’ll come to the company later to find you.]

Lu Jingchen read the text carefully and his initially stern expression softened slightly.

Assistant Xue was standing behind Lu Jingchen, instinctively peeking over, immediately realizing it must be Song Qiao’s text; otherwise, if it were anyone else, the president wouldn’t be so... attentive.

The people seriously attending the meeting also noticed something amiss; many raised their heads to see the man checking his phone and then exchanged looks, before bowing their heads back to their computers.

...

Mingdian Cafe is quite famous in An City, popular due to its pleasant environment.

Five years ago, before she went abroad, Mingdian Cafe hadn’t been around, so this was Song Qiao’s first visit.

She’d only recently learned about the cafe; prior to that, Gu Xiyan had kept saying she wanted to visit, finding it a good place to pass the time.

The taxi stopped directly at the entrance, Song Qiao paid the fare to the driver and politely said, "Thank you."

Wearing casual clothes—the outfit Chu Munan had previously bought—she didn’t know if it was branded, but the fabric and feel were nice. At the entrance, she adjusted her hair before walking toward the cafe in five-centimeter heels.
