Chapter 26 Propose in Public

2:00 p.m. sharp.

The gate of Qiao Group was surrounded by reporters carrying cameras.

Qiao Xuan personally came forward and accepted media interviews in front of the camera.

"Mr. Qiao, there's a rumor online that your sister, Miss Qiao Wanwan, was seriously injured and is in a coma in the hospital. Is this true?"

"Yes. Although Wanwan is no longer in danger of death, the doctor said that it is still unknown whether she can wake up this time."

"Mr. Qiao, may I ask what is your relationship with the murderer who injured Miss Qiao Wanwan?"

"Qu Ge is my fiancée."

Qiao Xuan answered without hesitation, shocking the entire audience.

This simple sentence not only confirmed that Qu Ge was the murderer, but also acknowledged the relationship between him and Qu Ge.

The title of "fiancée" is much more valuable than the "girlfriend" and "bed partner" speculated by netizens.

A group of reporters were as excited as hungry wolves smelling blood.

"Mr. Qiao! Last night, Qu Ge made a lot of comments that were unfavorable to you and your sister during his live broadcast. Can you tell everyone the truth about the matter?"

"Of course. The reason I'm willing to do this interview today is to explain things clearly."

Facing the camera, Qiao Xu'an regained his former gentlemanly appearance.

He had a calm smile on his face, mixed with a bit of helplessness and haggardness.

"Actually, this whole thing is caused by me."

"My sister is still young and naive, and she and Qu Ge have always had some conflicts. It's my fault for not maintaining a good relationship between them."

"That day, Qu Ge came to my house and had a few arguments with my sister."

"It was just a minor fight, and no one expected my sister to get hurt. This incident was just an accident, and I hope everyone will not over-speculate."

Accident.

This ambiguous explanation certainly cannot satisfy the curiosity of reporters and netizens.

The reporter immediately pressed the issue, "Are all those other things Qu Ge said during the live broadcast true? Is Qiao Wanwan really the murderer who killed her mother?!"

"Mother Qu's death was another accident. I regret this, too. Mother Qu treated me very well when she was alive. Her case was closed last year. Reports related to this case can be found online. I will not elaborate further here. At the same time, I also hope that everyone will not pay too much attention to this matter and not disturb the deceased's spirit."

When talking about Qu Shunzhi, Qiao Xuan'an's eyes suddenly became red.

He looked at the camera sincerely with his wet eyes. Anyone who didn't know the situation would no longer doubt his filial piety towards Qu Shunzhi after seeing this scene.

Off-camera, Qu Ge was sitting in the living room watching this absurd performance.

Seeing Qiao Xu'an's superb acting skills, her teeth were clenched so hard that they hurt.

Li Siqi was so anxious that she cursed and wanted to get into the TV and tear off the mask of the liar Qiao Xuan!

"Calling her "Mom Qu" all the time? How can he have the nerve to do that?! If he had any conscience left in him, he wouldn't do such a heartless thing as digging up graves and stealing urns!"

Li Siqi cursed at the top of her voice.

Of course, the reporters at the scene would not miss this explosive topic.

"Mr. Qiao, Qu Ge mentioned in the live broadcast that you dug up her mother's ashes and used them to threaten her. How do you explain this?"

"This is a complete misunderstanding." Qiao Xu'an frowned. "Because I received news that the cemetery is going to be renovated soon. So I found a new feng shui site for Mother Qu. Qu Ge and I disagreed on the relocation of the grave. Maybe I made her angry, so she said those words."

Qiao Xuan dared to face so many reporters alone, obviously he had been prepared for this.

No matter what the reporter asked, he was able to answer fluently.

Seeing that they couldn't get anything out of him, the reporters were very unwilling to give up.

They continued to ask, "Mr. Qiao, how do you explain the intimate photos of you and Qiao Wanwan?!"

"I don't think I have much to explain. It's all fake. I don't know who on earth would believe that kind of ridiculous stuff."

Qiao Xian once again explained the photo as a malicious composite.

He flatly denied having any feelings for Qiao Wanwan other than sibling feelings.

"I believe this incident was orchestrated by a competitor of the Qiao Group to maliciously smear me. Qu Ge must have misunderstood the relationship between me and my sister because he saw those fake photos."

Qiao Xu'an always acts like a victim, pretending to be aggrieved in front of the camera and playing the role of a harmless little white rabbit.

He knows too well what netizens want to see now.

No one cares about the truth of the matter.

Whoever is the weaker party will naturally be protected by public opinion.

Therefore, Qiao Xuan prepared a counterattack plan early on.

He no longer passively waited for reporters to ask questions, but took the initiative to pick up a microphone -

"I stand here today to apologize."

"First, I shouldn't let my personal affairs take up public resources. Secondly, because I failed to handle this matter in a timely manner, the shareholders and friends who have always supported the Qiao Group have been affected. I am truly sorry!"

"Finally, I must sincerely apologize to my fiancée, Miss Qu Ge!"

"I'm sorry! Xiaoge, this is all my fault! If I had given you enough sense of security the first time I found out you were pregnant, things wouldn't have turned out like this!"

"I'm already actively preparing for our wedding. No matter what, I hope to talk to you face to face. Can you stop hiding from me?"

"Don't blame yourself for Wanwan's injury. I won't blame you. You are the one I love the most! No matter what you did, I will never be angry with you!"

"Xiaoge, please come back to me, okay?"

Qiao Xuan's affectionate words once again made the whole audience explode.

The dazzling flash lights kept flashing, and the reporters were afraid of missing any wonderful moments.

"Mr. Qiao! What do you mean by pregnancy? Are you saying that Qu Ge is pregnant with your child?! So this child will become the next heir to the Qiao Group?!"

"Mr. Qiao! Can we understand your words just now as meaning that Qu Ge said those things during the live broadcast last night in order to force you to marry him?!"

"So, Qu Ge is indeed pregnant before marriage, using the child to force marriage, hoping to marry into a wealthy family?!"

The specialty of these reporters is probably their ability to accurately extract the most eye-catching and melodramatic core from a pile of lengthy nonsense.

Qiao Xuan’s hard work was finally not in vain.

In just half an hour, his affectionate confession had gone viral on the Internet.

"The heir to the Qiao Group publicly confessed his love! A high-profile proposal!"

"Jiang University's campus beauty is pregnant and forcing marriage! She's using tricks to get ahead!"

As the video's views grew, public opinion quickly turned to one side.

After all, Qiao Xuan has a face that is more delicate than that of male stars. Even if he doesn't say a word, he can easily capture the hearts of many girls.

What's more, he has now completely established himself as a handsome, rich and infatuated person.

A large number of ignorant girls who did not know the truth jumped into his gentle trap without hesitation.

Just like Qu Ge three years ago.

Soon, a "Qiao Xu'an Fan Club" even appeared on the Internet.

Qu Ge had just applied for an account for live streaming last night, but he had already been drowned in a barrage of insults.

"After all this time, it turns out she's just a gold digger desperate to marry into a wealthy family!"

"If you're pregnant and want to take the top spot, just say so! Isn't it disgusting that you've been acting all this time?"

"Qiao Xu'an proposed to you in public, are you satisfied now?!"

"Doesn't anyone think Qiao Wanwan is innocent? She was stabbed into the ICU just for not supporting her brother's relationship with this gold digger!"

"Qiao Wanwan is truly miserable! She was sitting at home when a knife came out of the sky! She's already lying in the hospital, and she's still being slandered!"

"Just came here from another post. This woman Qu Ge is really disgusting! Doesn't anyone know about her previous group sex with rich guys?"

"I still have a video of her being a dog for her sponsor! Who wants it? Deduct 1 and it'll be free!"

“…”

Qiao Xuan won this battle brilliantly.

Even Qu Ge couldn't help but applaud him.

She never imagined that the scheme she had painstakingly set up not only failed to hurt him, but also earned him so many believers.

It seems that she is still far from being an enemy of Qiao Xuan.

However, Qu Ge was not discouraged by this.

At least, she now holds the trump card that Qiao Xuan cares about most!

"I have to go see him."

"Little Cricket, are you crazy?!"

When Li Siqi heard Qu Ge's words, her face wrinkled in fear.

"Have you forgotten how much effort it took you to escape from him? How can you run back and walk into his trap now?!"

"I know, but I can't just sit there and wait for death."

Although he was extremely reluctant, Qu Ge had to do it.

If you don't learn the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger cub?

In order to ensure her own safety, she decided to take Rong Zhubai with her to see Qiao Xu'an.

This time, she would not step into his trap rashly.

She wanted Qiao Xian to willingly walk into the trap she set for him!

Qu Ge clenched his hands, which were covered in cold sweat, and mustered up the courage to call Qiao Xuan.

"I'll wait for you at the cafe on the top floor of Jiangyue Plaza at 7 o'clock tomorrow night."

"good."

On the other end of the phone, Qiao Xuan answered without hesitation.

For him now, as long as he can see Qu Ge, he is willing to do anything.

Before Qu Ge hung up, Qiao Xu'an asked her anxiously, "Child! ... Is the child okay?"

"Don't worry, I haven't gone for surgery yet."

Although Qu Ge had long guessed that Qiao Xu'an cared very much about the baby in her belly, she was still a little surprised when she heard his trembling voice.

She didn't understand why he wanted the child so much.

But, since this is his weakness, she must take advantage of it!
