Qiao Mianmian thought that Madam Gong must have arranged for this waiter to wait for her at the door.
She nodded and followed the waiter to the private room.
A moment later.
“Madam Gong, Miss Qiao is here.”
The waiter led her to a private room and gently pushed the door open.
Qiao Mianmian walked in and thought that she would see a rich lady with exquisite clothes and makeup. She didn’t expect Madam Gong to not only not have exquisite makeup on, but to also look tired.
Although she had makeup on, it was obvious that she hadn’t dressed up.
She looked a little haggard.
“Miss Qiao, you’re here. Please take a seat.” Madam Gong looked up. Her eyes were bloodshot, and there were faint black marks under her eyes. She looked like she hadn’t rested well, and her voice was a little hoarse.
Qiao Mianmian sat down opposite her.
“Miss Qiao, what would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?” Madam Gong poured a cup of tea and handed it to her. “I don’t know Miss Qiao’s preferences, so I only ordered my usual tea. Miss Qiao, you don’t mind, right?”
“Of course not, tea will do.” Qiao Mianmian took the teacup and placed it on the table. She thought for a while and asked directly, “I wonder why Madam Gong is looking for me?”
Madam Gong kept quiet for a while before pouring herself another cup of tea. She then sighed and said, “Miss Qiao is very smart. You must have guessed that I’m looking for you because of Zeli. Although I know that my request is a little difficult, I have no other choice now.
“Now, only Miss Qiao can help me.” As Madam Gong spoke, her eyes reddened and she choked. “Miss Qiao, can you help me persuade Zeli? He won’t listen to anyone else, but I think he’ll definitely listen to you.”
Qiao Mianmian frowned.
Madam Gong’s words were a little inappropriate.
She was already married.
There were no outsiders around, but if there were, they would definitely overthink it.
They would think that her relationship with Gong Zeli was special.
She and Gong Zeli had already been involved in a few scandals, and the last one had even gone viral.
‘When Qiao Mianmian spoke again, her tone was a little deeper. “Madam Gong, Gong Zeli is your son. If you can’t persuade him, then how can I? If Madam Gong is looking for me because of this, I think you’ve got the wrong person.”
“No, if Miss Qiao is willing to persuade him, it will definitely be useful.” Madam Gong didn’t know if she was afraid that Qiao Mianmian would reject her or for another reason, but she suddenly got agitated. “Zeli likes you, he’ll listen to whatever you say.
“Miss Qiao, as long as you tell Zeli to come home and stop throwing a tantrum, he’ll listen to you!”
Qiao Mianmian frowned even harder. She stood up and said, “Madam Gong, your son and I aren’t even friends. The scandals you saw are all fake. He doesn’t like me.
“Tm sorry, I can’t agree to your request. I have something on, please excuse me.”
With that, Qiao Mianmian turned around to leave.
“Miss Qiao, I’m begging you. Please help me.” Seeing that she was about to leave, Madam Gong immediately got up and chased after her. She reached out to hold her and pleaded with a choked voice. “Zeli said that he wanted to cut off our mother-son relationship because of you. He even said that he
wanted to break ties with the Gong family.”
