Chapter 643: Chapter 643: Xiaotang, I’m Sorry_1
So, she wasn’t just able to remember Chai Xiyang’s number…
Upon receiving a call from Qiao Ning, Hai Xiaotang was greatly surprised and delighted, “Qiao Ning, is it really you?! Where are you, what took you so long to contact me?”
Qiao Ning laughed guiltily, “Xiaotang, I’m sorry. I didn’t want to contact you so late. I didn’t know how to find you before.”
“Where are you right now?” Hai Xiaotang cut her short, wanting to meet her in person first.
Qiao Ning gave an address. It was a restaurant’s address.
She planned to treat Hai Xiaotang to a meal today.
After hanging up, Hai Xiaotang immediately drove over.
As soon as she stepped into the restaurant, Hai Xiaotang spotted Qiao Ning sitting by the window!
Then, she couldn’t help the sting in her eyes…
For over a month, she had searched everywhere for Qiao Ning without luck, fearing that something might have happened to her.
Seeing her sitting comfortably, Hai Xiaotang felt joyful, yet a bittersweet heartache, and a hint of anger, too.
She strode over, looked at Qiao Ning who also had reddened eyes, and said sorrowfully, “Qiao Ning, why are you contacting me only now?”
Qiao Ning got up, tears instantly streaming down her face, “Xiaotang, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

“Qiao Ning, you had me genuinely worried!” Hai Xiaotang suddenly embraced her and began to cry as well.
Then, they hugged each other tightly, weeping for a long time before breaking apart.
After the tears, Hai Xiaotang wasn’t so angry anymore. She took Qiao Ning’s hands, looked her up and down, and said with relief, “Qiao Ning, I’m just glad you’re okay. I was worried something might have happened to you. Thankfully, you’re alright.”
“Xiaotang, I’m sorry, for making you worried.” Other than apologizing, Qiao Ning didn’t know what else to say.
Hai Xiaotang waved her hand, “Don’t say sorry. Let’s sit down and talk. Quickly tell me, where have you been all this time? Are you doing okay?”
Qiao Ning nodded, “I’m doing very well…”
Then, she started recounting what had occurred during this time. From her release from prison, she narrated everything till the current collaboration with Chai Xiyang.
Hai Xiaotang was deeply astonished.
“So, from the beginning, Chai Xiyang knew where you were?”
“He didn’t know where I was in the first month. We only started communicating recently…”
Hai Xiaotang was immediately furious, “Chai Xiyang crossed the line! He visited my home the day before yesterday. When I asked him if he knew your location, he didn’t say anything! What does he mean? He was fully aware that I was looking for you, yet he didn’t inform me after finding you, what does he mean?!”
Qiao Ning offered an understanding reply, “Perhaps, he didn’t want to bring up my situation.”
“He didn’t want to bring it up, yet he chooses to collaborate with you?! Qiao Ning, why collaborate with him, come to me. You want to make a TV show, let me invest in you. Why did you seek him out and not me?” An annoyed Hai Xiaotang questioned.
She was genuinely agitated, feeling that Qiao Ning did not value their friendship.
“Qiao Ning, if you had come to me earlier, why would you have had to endure all this hardship? You should have come to me initially.”
Qiao Ning knew she would offer to help.
She explained shaking her head, “Xiaotang, I didn’t want to bother you again, which is why I didn’t reach out. Every time I came to you, it was to ask for a favor. I don’t want that anymore. Even though I am now in a sorry state, I haven’t reached the point of desperation. Moreover, I wanted to get back on my feet first before contacting you. I simply wanted to reach out, without bringing any troubles.”
