Chapter 186 - 186 The Birthday Party

186 The Birthday Party

“Do you know where they sent the abductees?” Qiao Yue asked.

Qiao Ze shook his head. “I only know that they deal at the end of every month, but they’ve just been found out by me. I’m afraid their next deal will only happen next month.”

It seemed that the next deal might be in December.

Qiao Jing had a rough idea of what was going on. “If they were found out, your career might be jeopardized.”

Qiao Yue didn’t plan to use any of her influence and power in C-Country. Such cases always ended up in the hands of the police and the count of law.

However, once the police was involved, this matter would become public news, and it might end Qiao Ze’s career as an artiste.

“You are willing to throw away your career?” Qiao Yue asked.

“I’m not afraid of such rumors. I’ve already told you yesterday.” Qiao Ze looked at the gigantic pupil on the Ophanim and smiled bitterly. “This shouldn’t be what the Qiao family is known for.”

Qiao Jing nodded. “At the end of next month, I will think of a way to deal with this.” He looked at Qiao Yue and asked, “Will KA also step forward?”

“KA?” It’s now Qiao Ze’s turn to be confused. Could Qiao Yue be related to KA?

Qiao Yue sighed, “Yes.”

“Fifth brother, are you related to KA?” Qiao Ze asked with a frown.

However, as soon as he asked, Qiao Ze regretted it. The talent that Qiao Yue had exhibited during this period was not something that a child from a mountain village could have. Qiao Yue’s resume was definitely not as simple as he had thought.

“Just a little.” Qiao Yue answered guiltily.

“My fifth brother is indeed no ordinary person.” Qiao Ze nodded. “Then I’ll leave it to both of you.”

He let out a long sigh.

“If your acting career ends, come to Qiao Corporation.” Qiao Jing said suddenly.

Qiao Jing had always been in charge of Qiao Corporation. Qiao Xuan and Qiao Ze had their own careers and avoided crossing paths.

If Qiao Ze joined the company, it would mean that he would have control over a part of the Qiao family business. People would then start to speculate about the distribution of the Qiao family assets, and Qiao Jing’s position might be compromised.

Qiao Ze shook his head. “It’s okay. I could use a break.” He smiled bitterly before he added, “It’s late. Let’s go home.”

After that, he went back into his car.

Qiao Yue wanted to follow him but was stopped by Qiao Jing. “Let your third brother have some time alone.”

Qiao Ze’s car disappeared at the end of the road.

Qiao Yue looked at the huge statue of the Ophanim and sighed, “I don’t want to sacrifice third brother’s career.”

Qiao Jing patted her on the shoulder. The two of them stood under the statue for a long time without speaking.

The days gradually calmed down and Qiao Yue seemed to have gone back to being just a student. She went to school and came home at the same time every day.

Renovation of Yayi had also been completed, and the club was back in business. However, the people at Yayi had received orders to go to Qiao Ze’s KTV at the end of December to arrest Qiao Yi and his gang.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Bo Ning’s birthday party.

Rumor had it that both Qiao Yue and Qiao Yu were invited to the birthday party, so all the girls were filled with excitement as they went around to verify their attendance.

Two of the school’s most handsome men were going to the party. Bo Ning was indeed capable.

Bo Ning’s birthday party was on a Friday at the Bo Mansion.

Bo Ning’s parents were in politics. Their mansion looked low profile but exuded an air of unostentatious wealth.

Although the furnishings in the courtyard were not very eye-catching, Qiao Yue could tell that the mountains, lakes, and stones were of the best quality. The landscape was simple but the plants and sculptures were very expensive.

The Bo Mansion didn’t look like the home of ordinary government officials.

Qiao Yue and Qiao Yu arrived at the Bo Mansion together.

The girls at the birthday party almost went crazy as they crowded around the Qiao boys, asking them this and that.

Bo Ning walked over and put her arm in Qiao Yue’s.

Qiao Yue frowned, wanting to move away but Bo Ning whispered in her ear, “Do you want to know the secret? It’s about your second brother. If you do, don’t push me away.”

As Bo Ning got close, Qiao Yue could smell the perfume on her. It smelt of oranges and lemons. It was so sweet that Qiao Yue felt a little dizzy.

Was there something else added to the perfume?

The people around them saw Bo Ning with her arm in Qiao Yue’s and began to gossip. Did Qiao Yue like Bo Ning? Such intimate act between the two?

Qiao Yue ignored Bo Ning’s threat, took her arm and moved it away from hers.
