1541 He’s Quite Afraid of Qiao Nian
“I didn’t want to agree at first. The entertainment industry is already in chaos. What if he lied to me and bribed the staff to take photos of Cousin Jiang Li’s private life? It’s not like there haven’t been similar incidents in the entertainment industry. The paparazzi bribed the staff around celebrities to take photos of them changing their clothes in private.”
Qiao Nian raised an eyebrow at him and said with a hoarse voice, “Continue.”
Yao Yu seemed to have been encouraged. He mustered up his courage and continued, “In the end, two days later, he contacted me again and said that there was no need to look for someone like Cousin’s assistant. He had a candidate… Not long after, he sent me that person’s information. I saw that he was just a staff member in charge of miscellaneous things around Cousin, not an assistant or anyone important.
“But I still hesitated. It didn’t feel right to me. I even asked him about it. I said if you’d found a candidate, why didn’t you contact the staff yourself?
“He told me that I was a relative. In the future, when that staff member was discovered, Cousin Jiang Li wouldn’t really do anything to me. At most, he would just scold me. If they contacted that staff member and they were discovered, it would be very troublesome to deal with them. That’s why they looked for me.”
All Yao Yu could feel now was regret. He regretted being so easily deceived. He looked at Qiao Nian and continued, “… At that time, I didn’t think too much about it. In addition, they were generous and directly transferred five million yuan into my account. They told me that the remaining two million yuan was my hard work. I-I didn’t resist the temptation.”
Yuan Qing often talked about the relationship between the Jiang family’s eldest branch and the second branch in front of him.
He knew that Qiao Nian had the best relationship with Jiang Li.
Therefore, as soon as Qiao Nian appeared in the KTV room, he knew that she was definitely here to look for him. Moreover, she was looking for him because of Jiang Li’s hospitalization.
“Cousin.” Yao Yu was quite afraid of his cousin, whom he had never met before. He felt that Qiao Nian was different from Jiang Xianrou.
Jiang Xianrou liked to do things in secret.
Qiao Nian was the kind of person who… it was fine if he didn’t provoke her, but if he did, she wouldn’t even bother playing dirty with him.
His grandmother was definitely not important enough to Qiao Nian. Yao Yu was quite afraid of trouble.
This time, he was so frightened that he looked like he was about to cry. “I really didn’t know that they bribed that staff member to cut the safety wire. It wasn’t until I saw the trending topic on Weibo that I realized something was wrong and called my father… I only found out half an hour ago that Cousin Jiang Li was hospitalized.”
Yuan Qing relied on her status as a relative to live with the Jiang family. Jiang Li’s hospitalization was such a big matter, so she would at most go over herself.
If he died, she would bring her son along.
As for her grandson’s generation, they were even further away from the Jiang family.
She really wanted to bring Yao Yu to show his face in front of Jiang Zongnan and Old Master Jiang. Unfortunately, Jiang Li’s hospitalization was not a happy occasion, so she couldn’t bring her family to the hospital at this time.
Yao Yu explained his side of the situation. He took out his phone and wanted to transfer the money to Qiao Nian. “… I only spent a fraction of the two million yuan. I haven’t touched the remaining 1.95 million. I’ll return the money to you.”
The girl had been listening to him with her eyes half-closed. Her aura was restrained. Her fair fingers were on the armrest, and she seemed to be casually tapping it.
She raised her eyelids and looked over when Yao Yu finished speaking. “You still have that person’s contact information?”
