Shao Jinghe was injured.

He was trying to save her, but she humiliated him instead.

Jiang Tian didn't even turn her head before quickly entering the store.

Li Xiu's eyes were filled with pity: "It seems that staying in Africa for a few months is not enough. You will need to stay for several years to properly treat your illness."

Shao Jinghe couldn't hold back any longer.

Everyone is a respectable person, especially after entering society, where they are forced to wear a glamorous mask.

Unless he was extremely emotionally agitated, Shao Jinghe would not have punched Li Xiu.

But at this moment, all he wanted to do was beat Li Xiu up.

Li Xiuzheng was worried about not having a chance, but the man delivered himself to him, so he gave him a good lesson.

Shao Jinghe was beaten so badly that his head was literally bleeding.

After his father arrived, he didn't dare to say a word. He apologized to Li Xiu for a long time before leaving with Shao Jinghe.

Shao Jinghe's eyes were filled with resentment.

But he was completely helpless against all of this.

Jiang Tian clearly has a genuine crush on Li Xiu, so what kind of role will he play?

At this moment, Shao Jinghe looked at himself as if he were a clown.

While Shao Jinghe was recuperating, Qiao Yulan happened to be discussing a collaboration with him, so she rushed over.

Seeing his head covered in bandages, she was startled: "What happened to you?"

These days, the Shao family has been in contact with the group behind Qiao Yulan. Even though Shao Jinghe dislikes Qiao Yulan, he still allows her to visit him often.

"When you came, didn't you ask around? It's already spread that I was beaten by Li Xiu."

Shao Jinghe's tone was as if he were narrating someone else's story.

Qiao Yulan's expression was very unpleasant: "Why did he hit you? Was it because of me?"

It must be admitted that even now, Qiao Yulan still feels a slight flutter in her heart when she sees Shao Jinghe.

He was the first person she fell in love with during her teenage years, and even after living abroad for so many years, she still couldn't forget him.

Shao Jinghe glanced at her, then suddenly scoffed, "What does this have to do with you?"

Qiao Yulan was not angry at his sarcasm, but immediately asked, "Then what is the reason? Didn't you promise me that you would keep to yourself and not interfere with them? Our plan still needs your family's help, so it's best not to have any conflict at this time."

Shao Jinghe had little patience for such a vain woman.

She had her desires written all over her face, yet she still pretended to be aloof. Shao Jinghe had seen countless people like her, and he couldn't even muster the energy to speak.

"Don't ask about things that have nothing to do with you."

Qiao Yulan was taken aback and wanted to get angry, but when she saw how badly Shao Jinghe had been beaten, with several bruises on his face, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. But speaking of personal matters, didn't I go to see my aunt a couple of days ago? I advised her that Li Xiu will go bankrupt soon, but she still wants to stay by his side."

"So many years have passed, and she has become such a materialistic woman."

Out of a desire to keep things private, Qiao Yulan did not mention to Shao Jinghe that they were not related as niece and aunt.

If you were to bring this up in front of him, Qiao Yulan would be no different from an ingrate.

She still wanted to maintain a semblance of her kind and rational image.

Shao Jinghe smirked and looked coldly at Qiao Yulan: "You've been abroad for so many years, have you only grown older but not smarter?"

"What do you mean?!" Qiao Yulan's expression changed immediately.

She has always been proud of her comeback and cannot tolerate being ridiculed by others.

"Tell him through your aunt about your company's plans to target Li Xiu, and he'll say, 'Qiao Yulan, I underestimated you.'"

Qiao Yulan's face turned pale and then green. She gripped her bag tightly and said, "So what? My aunt doesn't understand anything, and Li Xiu would never listen to a woman. He's the kind of person who always thinks he's the only one who matters."

Shao Jinghe no longer wanted to talk to Qiao Yulan.

Rather than wasting time talking to a brick wall, let him have some peace and quiet.

Fortunately, the Shao family did not completely side with Qiao Yulan. The fact that the group behind her selected such a talent already represented a major failure.

"You can go now, I need to rest."

Qiao Yulan could tell that he didn't want to talk to her anymore; his impatience was written all over his face.

She immediately became unhappy: "Why are you being so cold? Don't forget, you were the one who tricked me and made me leave my hometown. I'm magnanimous and didn't hold it against you, but now we can't even be friends?"

Shao Jinghe lazily lifted his eyelids and glanced at Qiao Yulan: "From the moment you started targeting Jiang Tian, ​​I never intended to be friends with you. Besides, what qualifications do you have to be my friend?"

Upon hearing the name Jiang Tian, ​​Qiao Yulan's expression showed shock and confusion: "What do you mean? What does this have to do with Jiang Tian?"
