1422 Cooking Qiao Chen
Compared to Qiao Nian, Mas’ provocative behavior seemed so childish and ridiculous. He was like a child who had yet to be weaned.
By the time Qiao Nian was done, Mas’ face was as black as the bottom of a pot. If the people around him hadn’t stopped him, he might have rushed up to fight Qiao Nian.
Unfortunately, no matter how agitated he was, Qiao Nian acted as if nothing had happened. After making the motion of slitting her throat, she grabbed her things and left the competition venue.
There was no doubt who was first in this World Software Competition!
…
In the audience, Qiao Chen stood up with a pale face and said to the stunned Shen Qiongzhi, “Mom, I’m not feeling well. Let’s go back.”
Shen Qiongzhi was originally shocked by Qiao Nian’s cool and valiant actions on stage. She barely regained her senses when Qiao Chen called out to her. She was still in a daze. “Ah, okay, okay.”
After Shen Qiongzhi recovered a little, she immediately asked with concern, “Chen Chen, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Qiao Chen avoided her gaze and shook her head. She was very weak and obedient. “There are too many people here. I’m just a little dizzy.”
“Mom, let’s go home.” She picked up her bag, feeling uneasy.
Fu Ge turned his head as well. “… going back now?”
Shen Qiongzhi frowned and supported Qiao Chen. She was very worried. “Chen Chen said that she’s dizzy. Let’s go back first.”
Fu Ge glanced at the stage. Qiao Nian was gone.
He looked at Qiao Chen’s pale face and pursed his lips. “I’ll get the car.”
“Okay.” Shen Qiongzhi was slightly relieved.
After all, Fu Ge was a member of the Fu family and had some say in Rao City. If Qiao Chen was really unwell, it would be easier to find a doctor with him around.
The three of them were about to grab their things and leave when the intersection of row nine was blocked.
Gu San was already waiting for them at the exit. Seeing the three of them picking up their things and about to leave, he smiled insincerely and said sarcastically, “Little Young Master Fu, where are you guys going?”
Fu Ge did not expect Gu San, who was not in position for the entire competition, to appear here. He didn’t react for a moment and then subconsciously replied, “My girlfriend is not feeling well. We’re preparing to go back. What… is the matter?”
“There’s something.” Gu San glanced at Qiao Chen, who was nervously clutching her bag. Seeing that the girl’s eyes were wandering, he sneered and said, “We found a very interesting surveillance footage backstage. We need Qiao Chen to go over and verify it.”
Qiao Chen trembled and her face turned pale.
Gu San made way for her and said calmly, “Miss Qiao, let’s go.”
Qiao Chen’s heart was in her throat. She had already grabbed Shen Qiongzhi’s arm in a panic and whispered, “Mom.”
Shen Qiongzhi immediately shielded her. She opened her mouth but did not speak.
Gu San looked over and covered her mouth. “I’m politely inviting you over now. If you’re unwilling, I’ll have to call security to ‘bring’ you over. You can choose.”
Fu Ge’s expression changed again and again. He pinched his palm and had no choice but to turn around. He said to Shen Qiongzhi in a low voice, “Aunt, let’s accompany Chen Chen.”
Shen Qiongzhi also knew that Gu San was from Beijing. She could only nod when she heard that. For a moment, she was not confident.
