Chapter 1048 Threat
No wonder this man dares to be so arrogant.
He Zhiqing gritted her teeth and decided to tell a half-truth. Qiao Xuan was adamant and it was obviously impossible for her to say nothing.
She couldn't afford to gamble whether she would go to find her cousin.
"I didn't mean to hurt her. I was trying to trip her and make her fall into the water, but I didn't mean to hurt her. I would jump in and save her."
Qiao Xuan opened her eyes wide and looked at her like a fool, her eyes clearly saying: Do you think I will believe this nonsense?
He Zhiqing was a little embarrassed.
Not to mention Qiao Xuan, even if she were a bystander, she would find it confusing and messy.
He Zhiqing took a deep breath and had to continue explaining.
"Mrs. Shao Wu knows that I am the cousin of the Xie family. My family is really poor, so I don't want to go back at all. But something happened a while ago, and my great aunt wanted to send me back. I was really, really worried and scared. It just so happened that you guys were here today, and I thought, if the guests fell into the water and I rescued them, but I caught a cold and fell ill, my great aunt and the others would definitely not mention sending me back again."
"I, I really just had this idea on impulse. I admit that I wanted to use Miss Shao, but I definitely didn't mean to hurt her on purpose. And there are many servants serving in the garden today. If someone falls into the water and shouts for help, they will come soon. It is absolutely impossible for anything to happen."
"This is my fault. I shouldn't have tried to use Miss Shao for my own personal affairs. I apologize to you. I'm sorry! I also ask Madam Shao Wu to be magnanimous and forget about this matter since Miss Shao is not in trouble. Don't mention it to others. Madam Shao Wu, can you promise me?"
Qiao Xuan's eyes darkened slightly.
She didn't believe all of He Zhiqing's words. Maybe some of them were true, but they were definitely not the whole truth.
If her family had an ordinary relationship with Xie Jingrong, Qiao Xuan might have just turned a blind eye and pretended to know nothing.
It is not.
He Zhiqing is a very problematic person.
Why did the old lady of the Xie family want to send her back? Why did she have to stay in the Xie family? As soon as Qiao Xuan threatened Xie Jingrong, she, who was originally so calm, immediately lost her composure, which showed that she cared about Xie Jingrong very much.
Could it be——
Qiao Xuan's eyelids twitched. Could it be that because she coveted Xie Jingrong, the old lady of the Xie family wanted to send her back?
It's not impossible.
How could a handsome man like Xie Jingrong not be liked by his cousins?
Then it is unlikely that He Zhiqing wanted to cause Taotao to fall into the water and then pretend to be sick to save her, so he would just stay. I'm afraid he was targeting Xie Jingrong.
Just think about it, she fell into the water and became ill in order to save the guest of Xie's family. If it weren't for her, the guest would have died in Xie's family, and she was the sister of the new champion. How big a trouble would this be for Xie's family? She saved the reputation of Xie's family and avoided a big trouble for Xie's family. Wasn't she worthy of marrying Xie Jingrong?
If she wants to marry Xie Jingrong for this reason, can the Xie family refuse?
To refuse would be ungrateful and callous.
Qiao Xuan didn’t know if her guess was right, but even if it was wrong, it was probably not far off.
Maybe this is just one aspect, and Miss He has other auxiliary means!
After guessing this, Qiao Xuan felt that it was impossible for her not to tell Xie Jingrong.
If Xie Jingrong was schemed against by such a woman and forced to marry her, it would be too miserable.
