Qiao Anxin was still frustrated and replied unpleasantly, “He said he’s discussing an important deal and that he’ll come over later.”
“What?!” Lin Huizhen was evidently upset. “He has the heart to be discussing a deal when something like this has happened. Did you tell him we’re in the hospital?”
“I did.”
Qiao Anxin was a little upset too. “He doesn’t think we’re in any serious condition.”
Upon thinking about how that mysterious man stood up for Qiao Mianmian, while Su Ze wasn’t especially bothered by this, Qiao Anxin was furious.
She had thought that Su Ze would rush over immediately when he learned that she had been hit.
But he didn’t.
He did say a few words of concern over the phone, but he got back to his work pretty quickly.
Although Qiao Anxin had a new target now, Su Ze’s attitude still hurt her.
She remembered something similar happening to Qiao Mianmian a few years back.
Su Ze was also discussing a deal, but he had dropped it and rushed to Qiao Mianmian.
Back then, she had been so envious and jealous.
“His girlfriend and his future mother-in-law are in the hospital after being beaten up, and this isn’t serious enough?” Lin Huizhen was fuming. “Does he even care about both of us? Didn’t he say he liked you and cared for you? He’s already treating you this way while you’re carrying his child, can you imagine what he’d be like in future!”
“Or…”
Lin Huizhen’s expression changed immediately as she grabbed Qiao Anxin’s hand. “Does he have another woman outside?”
She knew that with her daughter being pregnant now, she definitely wasn’t able to satisfy Su Ze in that aspect.
Su Ze was the boss of an entertainment company and there many beautiful women signed under them.
This was the best time for any interested party to go after him.
With that thought in mind, Lin Huizhen’s expression darkened. “Anxin, hurry and give Su Ze a call, ask him where he is. You’d better go and have a look. I suspect some vixen is with him, that’s why he can’t leave.
“He’s so eligible, there’d be many vixens eyeing him. You’d better be careful.”
Qiao Anxin turned away. “Mom, Brother Ah Ze isn’t such a person.”
Lin Huizhen sneered. “Men are all the same. How many of them are really able to resist such temptations? If he wasn’t such a person, would you have been able to take him away from Qiao Mianmian?!”
This was a slap to Qiao Anxin’s face.
She could practically feel her cheek burn.
She yelled, “Mom!”
Only then did Lin Huizhen realize that she’d dragged her daughter into the picture.
She tried to compensate with a smile. “I mean, Anxin, Mom wasn’t referring to you. Mom is referring to all the shameless vixens.”
It sounded worse and worse.
Qiao Anxin’s face darkened as she gave her assistant a tight slap on the face. She vented her frustrations at her. “So dumb and foolish. You can’t even get this simple thing right.”
The assistant was completely shocked. She quickly apologized. “I’m sorry, Miss Anxin.”
The assistant bore some resemblance with Qiao Mianmian.
This was part of the reason Qiao Anxin picked her as her assistant.
She would vent all her unhappiness on this assistant, since treating her like dirt felt like she was doing it to Qiao Mianmian.
It made Qiao Anxin feel better and superior.
