Xin You read the confession and found out that it was Qiao Ruozhu's driver who confessed.

"In other words, the coachman confessed secretly, and no one in the Qiao family knows about it?"

He Qingxiao smiled: "He shouldn't be stupid enough to expose himself."

"I understand, thank you Master He."

"You're welcome, Miss Kou." He Qingxiao paused, and the smile on her lips became more genuine, "I hope Miss Kou's bookstore business is booming."

Xin You raised her lips: "I won't let Master He down."

Perhaps because the girl was so confident, He Qingxiao actually shook her head for a moment before leaving the bookstore with a calm expression.

"Xiao Lian, what kind of person is Miss Qiao?"

"Miss Qiao, she is sweet-tongued and lively." Xiaolian said with anger on her face, "I didn't expect that she is such a person. She is indeed a close aunt and nephew to Mrs. Qiao!"

"If the bookstore cannot be opened, what good will it do to her?"

Unlike Xin You who didn't know anything about Qiao Ruozhu, Xiao Lian thought about it for a while and came up with a guess: "My maid thinks that she saw you buying a bookstore near the Imperial College and thought that you wanted to get close to the water first and have more contact with the eldest son."

.”

"That's it." Xin You suddenly realized.

Xiaolian blinked: "Girl, why is Mr. He helping you so much?"

Xin You thought about it seriously: "Maybe you want to always have a place to read?"

Xiaolian: "..." He obviously wanted to tease the girl, but the reason the girl gave was too reasonable!

"Go and help me make an appointment with Miss Qiao and meet at the teahouse near the bookstore."

"Girl, you want to meet her?" Xiaolian was surprised.

Xin You touched her sleeve, and there was a confession given to her by He Qingxiao in the sleeve: "Some people will retreat if their attempt fails, and some people will think again if their attempt fails. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is better to make it clear.

Better. Go help me date Miss Qiao."

Xiaolian took the order and left.

Qiao Ruozhu was greatly surprised when she received the post from her maid.

Kou Qingqing actually asked her to meet at a teahouse.

In the past, she would sometimes stay at Shaoqing's Mansion. Although she had contact with Kou Qingqing, she never played together. Why did Kou Qingqing ask her to meet him now?

Could it be that he saw that there was no chance of her getting together with her cousin, so he came here specifically to see her laugh?

Qiao Ruozhu didn't think about exposing the fact that she ordered Li Li to set the fire. In her opinion, even if Li Li was caught, no matter how much he confessed, nothing could be found about the maid disguised as a man.

"Girl, I think Miss Kou is coming with bad intentions, so you'd better ignore her."

"No, I want to see what she wants to do."

Although the fact that Xin You opened a bookstore made many people think that this cousin of the Shaoqing Mansion was not so observant, in Qiao Ruozhu's impression, she was still the timid person who downplayed her family spirit.

She felt psychologically superior to Kou Qingqing like this.

It was almost evening when the two met.

The fragrance of tea filled the air and the elegant room was quiet. Qiao Ruozhu looked at Xinyou with a critical eye and took the initiative to speak: "I heard that Miss Kou lost her memory before, and I always wanted to visit her. Unexpectedly, so many things happened. Miss Kou regained her memory and remembered

Me?"

Xin You held the tea cup and said calmly: "The memory related to Miss Qiao has not been recovered yet."

"Then why did Miss Kou ask me to meet today?" Qiao Ruozhu's tone was not polite.

The Duan and Qiao families are in such trouble, there is no need to pretend to be sisters.

Xin You lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea, then asked calmly: "A few days ago, a craftsman named Li Li in our bookstore deliberately set a fire and was taken to the government. Did Miss Qiao hear about it?"

Qiao Ruozhu's pupils shrank, and she tensed up for a moment: "I haven't heard of it. I'm not like Miss Kou who goes out to open a bookstore. How could I hear this at home all day long?"

"Are you at home all day?" Xin You put one hand on the table and tapped twice casually, "But some people have seen Miss Qiao often appearing near our bookstore."

Qiao Ruozhu stood up suddenly: "Who did you listen to?"

Xinyou smiled and did not answer.

Qiao Ruozhu sat down again, leaned forward, and stared into Xin You's eyes: "What do you mean by inviting me here today?"

"I would like to give Miss Qiao a few words of advice."

"What to advise?"

"Miss Qiao, please stop before it reaches the point of no return like Mrs. Qiao."

Qiao Ruozhu's face changed drastically: "I don't understand what you are talking about!"

Xin You looked at the stubborn girl and sighed inwardly, her tone even a little gentle: "Whether Miss Qiao admits it or not, I know who ordered Li Li to set the fire. Fortunately, the arson attempt failed.

I have nothing to lose, and I don’t plan to go into details this time. But if there is another time, then I won’t pretend it never happened..."

Listening to Xin You's words, Qiao Ruozhu's face showed shock, fear, anger, and finally confusion: "Why did you say this to me if you think it's me?"

"Because I feel that this kind of hatred is worthless. Mrs. Qiao had the intention to kill me and was divorced because of it. Not to mention that I lost my memory. Emotionally, my eldest cousin became a complete stranger to me.

Even if I am interested in him, I will never be with the son of the person who wants my life."

Having said this, Xin You took a deep look at Qiao Ruozhu and said lightly: "Just like Miss Qiao, her aunt was divorced and her fate with her eldest cousin was cut off. You and I are people who will never get involved with Duan Yunchen again.

Why should we fight and become ugly because of a man who is destined to be the husband of another woman?"

Qiao Ruozhu was speechless for a moment and stared blankly at the calm-looking girl in front of him.

"That's it, Miss Qiao is very thoughtful." Xin You put down the tea cup, stood up and walked out of the private room.

The maid waited outside but didn't see her girl coming out. She gently opened the door and walked in. What she saw was Qiao Ruozhu who was like a lost soul.

"girl--"

Qiao Ruozhu slowly rolled her eyes and grabbed the maid's wrist with her cold hands, but she couldn't use the strength as if she was exhausted.

"go home."

Seeing Qiao Ruozhu like this, the maid didn't dare to ask any more questions and helped her out of the teahouse.

The sky is still bright, and the colorful clouds are spreading in the sky, which is beautiful.

Qiao Ruozhu walked slowly towards the carriage parked on the roadside.

"Cousin Bamboo?" A gentle voice came from behind.

Qiao Ruozhu paused suddenly, and when he was about to turn around, Xin You's words suddenly rang in his ears.

"...You and I are people who will never get involved with Duan Yunchen again..."

She wiped away her tears and got into the car as if running for her life.

This was Duan Yunchen's first meeting with Qiao Ruozhu after Mr. Qiao was divorced. Originally, he was hesitant about what to say, but when he saw Qiao Ruozhu getting on the carriage without turning around, he couldn't help but forget his worries and subconsciously chased after him a few steps.

"Cousin Bamboo——"

Seeing Qiao Ruozhu enter the car, Duan Yunchen had no choice but to ask the maid: "Lian Xia, what's wrong with you girl?"

The maid didn't know what happened in the elegant room, and looked angrily: "Miss Kou made an appointment with my girl, and I don't know what she said -"

Qiao Ruozhu's voice came from the car: "Let's go!"
