Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Caught Red-handed (1)

Zhang Qi took a deep look at Xiao Xue and clenched his fists in his sleeves. The phone call was naturally from Gu Manxi. Gu Manxi quickly explained the situation.

Zhang Qi did not quite believe Gu Manxi’s words. That was his own wife, sister-in-law, and the person closest to him. Why would they unite to frame him? However, Gu Manxi’s tone was quite serious. Zhang Qi decided to give it a try and was skeptical.

“It’s a colleague from the production team. He told me about the details of the shoot tomorrow.” Zhang Qi had doubts in his heart, but his expression was calm. “Xiao Xue, it’s getting late. You should go back to your room and rest early.”

Xiao Xue said eagerly, “I know, Zhang Qi. You’ve been working all day. Drink some chicken soup to nourish your body. You don’t know how worried my sister is about you.”

With that, Xiao Xue passed the chicken soup to Zhang Qi. “Drink it quickly.”

Zhang Qi frowned. He remembered Gu Manxi’s warning on the phone to never eat or drink anything.

Zhang Qi put down the chicken soup box without a trace. “I’ve sweated too much today. I’ll go take a shower first. After that, I’ll drink the chicken soup. You should go back to your room to rest first.”

“Zhang Qi, do you not want to drink the chicken soup?” Xiao Xue hid the scheming in her eyes and pretended to act innocent, “Hmph, I’ll tell my sister so that she’ll give you a good scolding. You’re the pillar of the family, and you don’t even take care of your own health.”

The more Xiao Xue talked, the greater the doubt was in Zhang Qi’s heart.

Zhang Qi’s face darkened, and he picked up the chicken soup and drank it in one gulp. Then he wiped his mouth and said with a silly smile, “Okay, okay, I’ve already drunk it. Don’t tell your sister, or she’ll be worried.”

Seeing Zhang Qi drink the chicken soup, Xiao Xue finally felt relieved.

The two of them talked for a while, and Xiao Xue left the room with a smile. Before she left, she didn’t forget to take Zhang Qi’s room card. After leaving the room, Xiao Xue immediately sent a message to her sister, Xiao Nan:

[The fish took the bait.]

Xiao Xue hummed a song and quickly left.

In the hotel room, Zhang Qi immediately rushed into the toilet and threw up all the chicken soup he had just drunk. He rinsed his mouth with a helpless expression on his face. He muttered, “Miss Manxi must be overthinking. Nannan is not such a person…”

Just as he was thinking, the hotel doorbell rang.

Gu Manxi, Song Chen, and two male staff members stood outside the door.

Zhang Qi scratched his head and said, “Miss Manxi, could it be that Chuchu was mistaken?”

Gu Manxi’s expression was stern. “It’s better to be careful. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the entertainment industry.” To a certain extent, Gu Manxi had also been a victim of similar incidents.

If she had not inexplicably drunk a cup of water that was drugged, she would not have accidentally entered Song Chen’s room…

Song Chen touched the bridge of his nose and didn’t dare to say anything.

He also remembered the scene when he first met Gu Manxi. Afterward, he misunderstood Manxi and thought that she was a woman who deliberately approached him and used her body to climb the social ladder. Now that he thought about it, Song Chen really wanted to go back to the past and give himself a slap.

I really deserved a slap back then.

“Ahem–” Song Chen stood up with a cold expression. “Zhang Qi, better save than sorry. You only need to wait for half an hour to find out the truth.”

“If it turns out to be a misunderstanding, I’ll compensate you accordingly.”

Zhang Qi scratched his head in embarrassment. Song Chen was a big shot that he couldn’t afford to offend. Although he felt that this big shot was a little nosy and had a rich imagination, Zhang Qi still gave face to his boss and nodded in agreement.

…

11 pm.

Xiao Xue softly took out the room card and swiped open Zhang Qi’s hotel room.
