Chapter 677 Not Like Other Girls

“Uncle Xing? Where’s Uncle Xing?” queried Dabao. After a split second of hesitation, Qiao Zhan explained to the little boy, “Um… Master Xing came to Livingsfill to visit you guys, but you were all asleep. He didn’t want to wake you up but was also feeling bored, so he went for a stroll. He should be back soon.”

“Are you saying that Uncle Xing came to the inn? What did he do to Ms. Lu when he saw her, then? Did he anger her and make her leave?” Dabao analyzed the situation clearly.

The boy’s words scared Qiao Zhan out of his wits. He quickly waved his hands and denied, “I didn’t say that. In fact, I don’t know anything at all!”

“You were the one who said that! Are you trying to go back on your words?” Dabao glared at the man, unrelenting.

“Little Master, you’re putting me in a difficult spot. I can’t afford to anger Master Xing. If he were to hear about this, he’d flay me!” Qiao Zhan panicked.

The bit about Nan Xing flaying Qiao Zhan might have been an exaggeration, but it was definitely true that Nan Xing would never forgive the latter.

Dabao gave it some thought and nodded, appearing rather understanding. “Don’t worry. If you tell me the truth, I won’t let Uncle Xing find out it was you who snitched,” he said reassuringly.

Nonetheless, Qiao Zhan reiterated, “The truth is, I have no idea. I really don’t!”

“You know, yet you’re insisting that you don’t. Clearly, you’re deliberately hiding it from me. You’re not planning to talk, huh? In that case, I’ll give Daddy a call.” After threatening the man, Dabao turned around and was prepared to leave.

Qiao Zhan hurriedly grabbed him, asking, “What are you going to tell Sir Chen?”

“Of course, I’m going to tell him all about how you bullied Ms. Lu. You like her, so you did something bad to her while no one else was around, and she left out of anger!”

Hearing that, Qiao Zhan loudly professed his innocence, “Little Master, I’m innocent! I’m a stickler for rules. Even if I have the courage, I would never do such a thing!” “Then, tell me the truth about what happened.”

“I really don’t know what happened. Ms. Lu stormed out just as I came back. I asked her what was wrong, but she didn’t say a word to me. After that, I came inside and saw Master Xing, who was also in a bad mood. That’s why I deduced that there must’ve been a conflict between the two of them, but I have no proof of it at all. This is everything that I know, Little Master, so please don’t pressure me anymore. I’m really at my wit’s end,” said Qiao Zhan as a bitter expression hung on his face.
