Chapter 574 Look at what you've done!
Although the old man was in a wheelchair, he looked much more energetic and greeted his relatives with a big smile.
Of all the people, Uncle San was the happiest. He had invited many relatives and received a lot of gifts. His two sons, Qiao Hong and Qiao Jie, alone gave the old man a large sum of money.
Everyone knows that the old man's current health condition means he doesn't need this money at all. The purpose of everyone giving gifts is simply to bring good luck to the old man.
But since it was Uncle San who had been taking care of the old man, the money naturally ended up in Uncle San's pocket.
Qiao Hong felt annoyed by his third uncle's fake smile. He held a bottle of wine and exchanged pleasantries with a few relatives, but his eyes kept darting around in the crowd.
Uncle San said he also sent an invitation to Qiao Xing, but it's almost noon and Qiao Xing still hasn't arrived.
He couldn't sit still any longer, so he walked over to his third uncle, pulled him up from the bench, and walked him to the side, asking in a low voice, "Didn't you say Qiao Xing would be coming too? Where is she?"
Uncle San was still immersed in the joy of receiving gifts. He looked around the crowd and said, "She's probably too busy and doesn't have time. It's normal that she didn't come. She didn't grow up with the old man and they don't have any feelings for each other. If she doesn't come, she doesn't come."
Qiao Hong's face immediately turned ashen.
Uncle San was completely unaware. He even patted Qiao Hong on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Fourth Brother, you did a really good job with this birthday banquet. Look how happy the old man is!"
If Qiao Xing doesn't come, Qiao Hong won't be able to sit still. There's still no movement from S&C, and things can't go on like this.
Just as Qiao Hong was thinking of an excuse to leave, Qiao Jie walked over.
"Fourth brother, how's that cooperation with Qin Ce's company you told me about last time? Why is there still no news? Let me tell you, I've already invested all my money, so don't try to scam me."
When Qiao Jie suddenly asked him the question, Qiao Hong felt a little guilty, but he still put on a confident look and said to Qiao Jie, "Don't worry, this will definitely be fine. I've invested more money than you, and I'm not in a hurry, so why are you?"
Qiao Jie looked at Qiao Hong with suspicion. Although he hadn't thought much about it when Qiao Hong told him about it, he only thought about taking the opportunity to get in touch with Qin Ce.
But the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He wondered if Qiao Hong's handling of this matter was reliable or not.
Qiao Hong was afraid that if he chatted with Qiao Jie for a few more minutes, Qiao Jie would notice something amiss, so he quickly made an excuse to leave.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, the host on stage suddenly called out Qiao Hong's name.
"Now, let's invite Mr. Qiao Hong, the fourth son of the Qiao family, to say a few words and hear his blessings for the old man."
Now all eyes were on Qiao Hong, and he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
He could only walk up, take the microphone from the host, and say a few words.
Although he acted perfunctorily, the old man saw it and was very pleased.
Of all the children, he had the highest expectations for Qiao Hong and loved him the most.
Seeing how successful he has become step by step, the old man feels that even if he closes his eyes tomorrow, he will have no regrets.
Qiao Hong thought he could leave after he finished speaking, but then the host said, "I heard that Mr. Qiao Hong has prepared a gift for the old man today. Let's take a look!"
Qiao Hong frowned in confusion and asked the host, "What gift?"
The host looked puzzled and asked Qiao Hong, "Wasn't this prepared by you?"
Before Qiao Hong could figure out what was going on, the large screen behind them suddenly started flashing, and some obscene images began to play.
There was an uproar.
Because the person in the picture is none other than Qiao Hong.
He was lying on a bed, holding a woman in his arms. Not only that, but there were also countless photos behind him, all of them of Qiao Hong and that woman.
The moment Qiao Hong saw the video playing, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He stood frozen in place, his mind completely blank.
What on earth is going on?!
He frantically reached for the remote control in the host's hand, shouting, "Stop! Stop! This isn't me!"
But the video seems to be controlled by Beishui; it can't be turned off no matter what I do.
People started pointing and whispering about Qiao Hong, and some even felt ashamed and turned away.
Qiao Jie stormed towards Qiao Hong, shouting angrily, "What happened? How could you do such a thing!"
"Second brother, I didn't, you have to believe me..." Qiao Hong was speechless, but he was filled with shame and indignation. Being discovered cheating in front of so many people was no different from taking off his clothes and defecating in the street.
"Nothing! Look at this! You've completely disgraced the Qiao family!"
Qiao Jie gritted his teeth in anger. He was a man who cared a lot about his image and had originally wanted to take this opportunity to show off his good manners in front of his relatives, but who knew that Qiao Hong would pull this stunt on him.
When the video was played, Grandpa Qiao was trembling with anger.
Although he was old and very ill, he knew who the person in the video was and what that person had done.
Just as his blood was boiling, the people around him were still laughing: "Old Master Qiao, I must say you've really raised a good son! He gave you such a big gift at your birthday banquet, he's so filial!"
"Yes, you always like to say in front of everyone that your fourth son, Qiao Hong, is the most capable. Now it seems that he really is quite capable. After all, who else could do something like this!"
Everyone burst into laughter, completely disregarding the old man's health.
Third Uncle's wife quickly comforted the old man, "Dad, Dad, don't be angry. You're not in good health, the doctor said you can't get angry..."
The old man trembled all over, and he shakily stretched out his hand, pointing at Qiao Hong. He wanted to say something, but a breath caught in his throat, and in the end, he couldn't say anything. He was so angry that he fainted.
"dad!"
Qiao Hong's eyes widened, and she immediately ran to Grandpa Qiao's side, "Dad! Dad! How are you! Don't scare me!"
"What a terrible thing to do, Qiao Hong! Look what you've done! You're trying to anger the old man to death!"
The once lively and warm Qiao family compound suddenly became a mess. Some people called an ambulance to take Old Master Qiao to the hospital, while others pointed and whispered about Qiao Hong, and a barrage of curses was directed at him.
Finally, Qiao Hong was left alone in the courtyard. On the screen behind him, the videos continued to play on a loop. Qiao Hong looked like a stray dog, which was extremely ironic.
The next day, Qiao Hong returned to the city, intending to visit his grandfather, but he was suddenly called back to the company by a phone call from President Qian.
