Ye Wangchuan had also seen the message on Qiao Nian’s phone. He had only seen a portion of it from the corner of his eye and not the entirety of it. However, he could guess what the other party had said even with his toes. It was definitely not something nice.
His eyes were cold, but he didn’t say anything. He didn’t ask who sent Qiao Nian the message.
He quietly boiled a piece of tripe for the girl and placed it in the bowl. Then, he slowly leaned back on the chair with a lazy expression. He turned the prayer beads on his wrist and looked elegant and noble, but Gu San could clearly feel the cold air around him.
Who provoked Master Wang again?
…
Outside Beijing Hospital.
Qiao Weimin had just entered the ward and came out after seeing Qiao Chen. He saw that Shen Qiongzhi was sending a message to someone.
He frowned and walked over. “What are you doing?”
As soon as he finished asking, Shen Qiongzhi immediately hid her cell phone behind her back. Not daring to look at him, she said with an uncomfortable expression, “No-nothing.”
After all, Qiao Weimin was someone who had been in the business world for many years. He immediately guessed something. Frowning fiercely, he grabbed her hand with a serious expression, not letting her leave. “Are you sending a message to Nian Nian? Didn’t I tell you not to do it? Now that the matter has come to this, why are you still sending her messages?”
Shen Qiongzhi’s eyes were already swollen from crying. She had received a call from Shen Jingyan and hurriedly booked a plane ticket. However, after seeing Qiao Chen lying on the hospital bed with her own eyes, she still could not accept it. She cried so much that she almost fainted. At this moment, with Qiao Weimin questioning her, her eyes reddened as if she had found an outlet to vent her emotions. She said in a low and hysterical voice, “Why can’t I send her a message? She caused Chen Chen to become like this. Is she even human!?”
Qiao Weimin only had one daughter. He also didn’t feel good that Qiao Chen was in such a state, but he was more rational than Shen Qiongzhi.
“It was Chen Chen who was in the wrong first.”
“Just because Chen Chen was in the wrong doesn’t mean that she can get someone to destroy her hand. Didn’t you hear Wei Ling say that not only did she find someone to cause a car accident and harm Chen Chen, but she also found Mr. Steven to ruin Chen Chen’s chance to study abroad? What do you think she wants! She wants Chen Chen to walk down the path of no return!”
Filled with anger, Shen Qiongzhi gritted her teeth and continued, “Back then, if it wasn’t for our family adopting her, would she have been able to hook up with Yuan Yongqin and Cheng Feng Corporation? She reached this point today all because of our family’s relationship. Now, this ingrate still wants to trample on Chen Chen. What right does she have…”
“Enough!” Qiao Weimin had a headache from her noise. He raised his voice and said, “Are you done? It’s not what you think. Cheng Feng Corporation and us…”
He was halfway through his sentence when he received a call from Beijing.
Shen Qiongzhi could only suppress her anger and dissatisfaction for the time being and wait for him to answer the call.
It was unknown what the person on the other end of the phone said, but Qiao Weimin’s face turned uglier and paler. At first, he could still speak a few words, but later, he seemed to be unable to speak anymore. He only hung up the phone in silence.
Initially, Shen Qiongzhi was only thinking about Qiao Chen. Upon seeing his expression turning so ugly, she jumped in shock. She frowned and hurriedly asked, “Weimin, what happened?”
Qiao Weimin turned his head mechanically to look at her, then looked at Shen Jingyan, who was smoking not far away, and Wei Ling, who was standing at the side without saying a word. In the end, he retracted his gaze and said with difficulty, “Cheng Feng Corporation wants to collect the termination fee from our previous project.”
