"Haha, Miss Qu, you're really good at deduction, you're practically the Sherlock Holmes of the Reiwa era! Let's not even talk about whether Andy is Tan Zongming's mistress or not, just the fact that you still offended his mistress after knowing that Tan Zongming is a financial tycoon in Shanghai, you're really wise, aren't you? Are you afraid that your family's business worth hundreds of millions won't go bankrupt?"
"And... you've been dating all over the world abroad, white, black, yellow, you've tried it all, what right do you have to criticize others on this kind of relationship issue?"
Chapter 251 Qu Xiaoxiao's Frustration and Anger

"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Qu Xiaoxiao was momentarily flustered.
Over the years, she has indeed had a lot of fun abroad, trying out all kinds of men and experiencing the novelty of life.
After all, they have money, so they're all about the thrill!
She thought that once she returned to China and took a shower, she would be a clean person again and could continue to find a good man to take her place.
Bai Ye sneered and said:
"Miss Qu, you don't happen to be so arrogant and go around investigating others all day, but you don't know that others can also investigate you, do you?"
"You've been studying abroad all these years and have had quite a few boyfriends. Do you think you can hide these things from others? A simple check will reveal everything, okay?"
"How many boyfriends I have is none of your business!" Qu Xiaoxiao shouted angrily, "I only have proper boyfriends, not like you losers who go out to prostitutes! What era are we living in? There are still men like you who are so chauvinistic. You are a disgrace to our times! A woman's body belongs to her own, and we don't need you stinking men to tell us what to do!"
"Haha, you're overthinking it. I didn't mean to tell you what I was planning to do." Bai Ye laughed. "I just found this whole thing funny. When you get a boyfriend in the future, you wouldn't mind if I befriended them and told them about your glorious achievements, right? Oh, by the way, your loyal simp Yao Bin, if he knew about your rich romantic history... do you think he would still fawn over you like that?"
Qu Xiaoxiao felt like she was going crazy.
The man in front of her was not human; he was investigating her past and arguing with her over trivial matters.
The Green Gourd Sword Immortal
As a man, don't you have any masculinity at all?
She had suffered losses in their previous encounters and hadn't yet figured out how to retaliate.
This man was eager to find something wrong with her so he could use it against her...
What kind of man is he!
She had never seen such a shameless person in her life!
Just as Qu Xiaoxiao was about to refute Bai Ye, she heard a loud "thud" and the elevator shook violently.
The elevator had clearly stopped moving.
"What kind of lousy elevator is this?"
Qu Xiaoxiao suddenly lost her previous aggressive demeanor, because with her intelligence, she also sensed that something was wrong.
Nobody paid any attention to her.
Fan Shengmei walked to the elevator door, pressed the emergency call button, and notified the property management that the elevator in Building 19 was malfunctioning.
The property management staff told them to remain patient and calm, and they immediately contacted elevator repair workers to come and rescue them.
The tense atmosphere inside the elevator vanished instantly.
It was mainly Qu Xiaoxiao whose momentum had weakened. She turned to Fan Shengmei and asked:
"Hey, do the elevators here often break down? In the current situation, is it really a big problem?"
"It doesn't happen often," Fan Shengmei said politely, "but it shouldn't be a big problem."
She had gotten quite a bit of gossip from Bai Ye's story. She never expected that Qu Xiaoxiao, who looked so thin and weak, was actually having so much fun!
White, black, yellow—I can swallow anything!
Gee!
It's worth noting that her relationship with Qu Xiaoxiao wasn't exactly friendly. When she was preparing her dress for a banquet to compete for attention, Qu Xiaoxiao ridiculed her.
Previously, Fan Shengmei felt somewhat inferior when facing a rich and beautiful woman like Qu Xiaoxiao, but now... she feels her confidence has returned.
No matter how many flaws Fan Shengmei has, she still looks down on a woman like Qu Xiaoxiao!
Qu Xiaoxiao clearly noticed Fan Shengmei's slight sense of superiority.
Looking at Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying again, the two women also decisively looked away, not daring to meet her gaze.
Clearly, based on the juicy gossip shared by Bai Ye, Qu Xiaoxiao is quite out of step with the values of girls raised in ordinary families, including Guan Juer, Qiu Yingying, and Fan Shengmei.
Guan Juer and the others would also think... Qu Xiaoxiao is dirty!
Qu Xiaoxiao was furious.
But at this critical juncture, it's not good to cause trouble for Bai Ye.
After all, being trapped in an elevator and then arguing can easily lead to unnecessary disputes.
She's a rich, beautiful, and successful woman!
Porcelain should not come into contact with tiles.
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, Guan Juer couldn't help but say:
"I just bought some snacks, how about we grab some?"
"Great!" Qiu Yingying immediately perked up and reached for Guan Juer's shopping bag, saying, "I'm starving!"
Fan Shengmei said speechlessly, "Little Qiu, didn't you just have dinner with your Manager Bai? How come you're hungry again so soon?"
"Whee!"
Qiu Yingying chuckled sheepishly. She was the legendary type who was "good for nothing but cooking," and said:
"I was so focused on watching Manager Bai during the meal that I didn't eat anything!"
"People say that a woman in love has a negative IQ, and it seems that's really true!"
Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but chuckle.
"Then your IQ is positive!" Qiu Yingying said bluntly while eating snacks, "You've only been here for one day, and you've almost offended all the neighbors in our building. Your IQ is really too high!"
Qu Xiaoxiao choked.
What Qiu Yingying said seemed to make some sense.
Qu Xiaoxiao has only just arrived in Ode to Joy, and she's already offended her upstairs neighbor, Bai Ye. She threw a party, which made Andy so noisy that she called the police. Fan Shengmei was preparing to attend a banquet to try and snag a rich guy, but Qu Xiaoxiao gave her a piece of her mind. When she came back, Guan Juer seemed to remind Qu Xiaoxiao that there were a lot of mosquitoes in the neighborhood, but Qu Xiaoxiao retorted. Now, even Qiu Yingying's relationship is being mocked by Qu Xiaoxiao for being love-struck.
A woman with such a sharp tongue who has never been beaten up is simply lucky in the first half of her life.
"I don't care about arguing with you!" Qu Xiaoxiao snorted and said, "My family is incredibly wealthy, and they're waiting for me to take over their business! Why would I need to get along with you? That's ridiculous. Getting along with you won't bring me a single penny of benefit."
Qiu Yingying: "As the ancients said, 'If you can't sweep one room, how can you sweep the world?' You can't even deal with us ordinary people, so how are you going to deal with the executives of big companies? I think if your father handed the company over to you, it might go bankrupt at any time."
Straightforward women like Qiu Yingying are the most hurtful when they say things.
Qu Xiaoxiao was so angry her mouth almost twisted out of shape.
Who are you?!
While Qiu Yingying and Qu Xiaoxiao were arguing, Guan Juer hesitated for a moment, then took a bottle of mineral water from her shopping bag and handed it to Bai Ye.
"Thank you."
Bai Ye accepted the bottled water and politely responded.
"You're welcome!"
Guan Juer smiled shyly.
She was also afraid that Bai Ye's fighting power was too strong, and that she would be roasted like she was roasted by Qu Xiaoxiao!
In retrospect, Bai Ye was actually quite kind.
It's just that Qu Xiaoxiao's family is too arrogant, which touched Bai Ye's sensitive nerves!
"Did you know that elevator deaths are among the deadliest causes of death? A while ago, there was a girl on Weibo who was looking down at her phone and didn't see the elevator. The elevator doors opened, but the elevator hadn't arrived yet, so she stepped in. Guess what? She died! She fell straight down from a height of over ten meters. Just thinking about it makes me cringe!"
While eating snacks, Qiu Yingying, probably bored out of her mind, started telling a scary story: "And another one happened right here in our neighborhood, in the apartment complex next door. A group of people got into an elevator, and the doors slammed shut. Guess what happened? When the people outside noticed, they pried open the elevator doors and looked inside..."
Guan Juer quickly interrupted Qiu Yingying: "Yingying, stop talking, stop talking. You were fine just now, but now you're making my hair stand on end."
Bai Ye noticed that Teacher Bai wasn't in a good state; it seemed he had been frightened by Qiu Yingying's scary story.
"Are you okay?"
Bai Ye took it upon herself to hold Teacher Bai's hand:
"Your hands are so cold! Were you scared by those weird stories? It's not that serious. Elevator malfunctions are common. There's nothing to worry about."
Andy was no longer afraid, but he looked at Bai Ye strangely.
Because of her unhappy family background, she actually has a mental illness, such as intimacy phobia, and is not used to having too close contact with others. However, when Bai Ye held her hand out of concern, she did not react.
And Bai Ye's hand... was so warm, holding it gave her a feeling of great strength.
For a moment, Andy's fear eased considerably.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Qiu Yingying said with her usual carefree attitude, "I haven't told you what I'm most afraid of yet! Do you know that story? That girl from abroad, in the hotel, she went into the elevator, and the security footage showed someone chasing her, but that person didn't appear. After the girl got into the elevator, the elevator doors just wouldn't close, and then the girl stuck her head out to look, but there was no one there. When she came back in, she felt like something was grabbing her, like someone was behind her..."
Qiu Yingying vividly told a horror story, which, combined with the scene before her, successfully made the seasoned HR Fan Shengmei, the cunning Qu Xiaoxiao, Guan Juer, and even the investment banking executive Andy nervous.
Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back any longer and shouted:
"Qiu Yingying, have you lost your mind?! At a time like this, why are you scaring yourself? What if your jinx comes true?"
Qiu Yingying giggled and said, "It's impossible for it to work! Besides, I've already thought it through. If the elevator really does fall, none of us will die. You all have to listen to me; as soon as the elevator is about to fall, we'll jump together..."
As she spoke, Qiu Yingying actually jumped, and with a loud bang, the elevator suddenly plummeted downwards.
The feeling of weightlessness came over them instantly, and the five women lost their balance. In an instant, the lights in the elevator went out, and the women screamed in fright.
"I don't want to die. It's exactly the same in that video on Weibo. First there's a bang, then the lights flicker on and off, and then the elevator doors suddenly close..."
Qiu Yingying was clearly flustered, but she kept talking.
Qu Xiaoxiao roared fiercely at Qiu Yingying:
"Shut up."
She's a rich second-generation heiress, a beautiful and wealthy woman, and she still has a lot of time left to live. She doesn't want to die here with a bunch of poor losers.
Qiu Yingying was almost in tears: "I want to shut up, but I'll get even more nervous if I shut up. I don't want to die. Manager Bai just asked me to leave work, and we haven't even held hands yet."
