Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 2021: Chapter 2015: Realization

”Of course, I have my ways of finding out. You must have gotten Mr. Xiao drunk, and that’s why...” Qin Xue pointed at Gu Beilin’s belly, wearing an expression of understanding.

”Oh dear, even though Mr. Xiao was drunk, I swear, I’m not the one who got him drunk. Really, I swear.” Gu Beilin didn’t want Qin Xue to think she had used any tricks. She did use some slight tactics, but it was more like she had help rather than her initiating things.

”Is that so? Then why does what you say not match what I saw?” Qin Xue feigned puzzlement, propping her chin with her hand as she asked. She hadn’t planned on saying this, but hearing Gu Beilin’s delicate tone, she felt she couldn’t waste the chance to hit back with the information she gathered today.

Initially, she thought today would be a futile day, but surprisingly, it wasn’t.

”What did you see?” Gu Beilin asked somewhat anxiously. Did Qin Xue really see what happened that day? Was she genuinely aware or just bluffing?

At this moment, Gu Beilin didn’t dare gamble. She was afraid Qin Xue really saw everything; otherwise, it would truly be a wasted effort.

”Actually, it wasn’t much. I just saw you enter someone’s house, and shortly after, you left sneakily. I thought I must’ve seen wrong, so I didn’t pay much attention. But hearing what you said earlier reminded me. Honestly, your Mr. Xiao is really handsome, no wonder he attracts so many girls.” Watching Gu Beilin’s face turn from smugness to a pale white, Qin Xue couldn’t help but smile.

”Qin Xue, you see, you got it wrong. Really, I wasn’t acting sneaky that day. I went in confidently and left just as calmly, so the sneaky person you mentioned definitely wasn’t me.” Upon hearing Qin Xue’s words, Gu Beilin hurriedly denied. She went to see Xiao Qi for something serious, who would’ve thought she’d encounter such a coincidence.

What kind of coincidence? When she entered, she happened to catch Xiao Qi sleeping, and the door wasn’t locked, so she went straight in. But what’s even more outrageous is that she saw a hint of dark red, which startled her and caused her to quickly retreat.

She seemed to have stumbled upon something major, and the major thing involved their boss. But telling others would be met with disbelief.

Seeing this scene, Gu Beilin was terrified and ran off immediately, which explains why her figure looked like that when Qin Xue saw her.

For others, spotting her like that early in the morning, either they’re out for grocery shopping or breakfast, she hadn’t expected her luck to be so bad as to be recognized.

And the person was Qin Xue, which no matter how you put it, wouldn’t prevent people from thinking about other possibilities.

Perhaps Gu Beilin was feeling guilty, so when Qin Xue spoke so clearly, she felt sometimes Qin Xue was someone who never let her live peacefully.

Yet, Gu Beilin didn’t consider that if she hadn’t harbored ill intentions initially, who would target her? After all, people aren’t idle enough just to keep watching her.

As for what Qin Xue said, it’s because that woman was Nangong Beiying, whom she was obviously aware of, and she just wanted to provoke Gu Beilin a bit more.
