Chapter 47 Chapter 47 His identity This is not a good time...
"I thought you'd be nervous," Gu Jingchen couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect you to be more patient than I thought."
You Zhi placed the selected corn on the plate and said with lowered eyes, "Of course I was nervous, but I didn't show it completely."
"Is that so?" Gu Jingchen smiled, his expression becoming somewhat complicated. "Mr. He's reaction surprised me a bit."
He could never have imagined that He Shengnian would abandon Qiao Wanshu and turn to Xu Qinghu.
This was beyond his expectations, and even made him feel puzzled and unbelievable.
He Shengnian was a successful businessman, and if he wanted to connect with a higher class, Qiao Wanshu was his best choice. But he changed his mind midway.
This made Gu Jingchen sigh at Xu Qinghu's charm, while also wondering about He Shengnian's intentions. Did he really have a good impression of Xu Qinghu, or did he want to use her to arouse Qiao Wanshu's sense of crisis, so as to take a step further with Qiao Wanshu?
Although he had some feelings for Xu Qinghu, when it came to actually choosing a partner, Xu Qinghu, who had one foot in the entertainment industry, was not what he expected at all.
What was it about her that impressed He Shengnian? Gu Jingchen fell into deep thought.
"Is it a surprise?" You Zhi raised his head and said softly, "Maybe it's a surprise to you."
He did not explain to Gu Jingchen how good Xu Qinghu was, and there was no need to explain.
[So, is He Shengnian really going to change his ways?]
The fans of He Qiao CP who still wanted to deceive themselves were completely defeated, and at the same time, the fans of Qiao Wanshu were also feeling upset.
You have to know that they were reading from Qiao Wanshu's perspective throughout the whole process, thinking that it would be a completely happy life, but they didn't expect it to go downhill halfway. This gap made them smell a bad sign.
Is He Shengnian blind? Qiao Qiao is so good, yet he chose Xu Qinghu. Must he have been kicked in the head by a donkey?
[+1, Qiao Qiao is of noble birth and has a generous personality, but he actually chose an actor from the entertainment industry. It's hilarious!]
[As expected, even the most composed men can still be fickle-minded. When they meet a beautiful woman, their minds become volatile. If He Shengnian changes sides, he'll definitely regret it in the future!]
I can't figure out why Qiao Wanshu loses to Xu Qinghu? Is it just because Xu Qinghu is prettier? He Shengnian, how can you be so superficial! My impression of him has immediately soured!
Compared with these, more viewers began to analyze the reasons for He Shengnian's change of direction.
[Xu Qinghu is not only good-looking, but also remembers to bring gifts for He Shengnian when dating other people. Has He Shengnian ever experienced such emotional value from Qiao Wanshu?]
[And Xu Qinghu isn't just some pretty face, is she? She's earned all her opportunities on her own. Don't dismiss Xu Qinghu's efforts just because Qiao Wanshu comes from a wealthy family.]
[Qiao Wanshu has a good personality, so she's condescendingly hinting at He Shengnian to give everything so she can get enough leverage?]
[If I were He Shengnian, I would also choose Xu Qinghu.]
The comment section was buzzing with debate, with everyone arguing over who was the most suitable match for He Shengnian, Xu Qinghu or Qiao Wanshu.
Until the end, someone typed in the barrage: [Why is it about whether they are suitable, instead of He Shengnian’s merits and abilities?]
During dinner, Xu Qinghu sat near the sweet and sour pork ribs and could pick up his favorite dishes by just raising his hand.
You Zhi sat beside her and said softly, "Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll help you."
He still remembered that Xu Qinghu had asked He Shengnian for help but was ignored.
"Okay," Xu Qinghu smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao You."
But she did not hand the bowl to You Zhi, but ate quietly.
Most of the people's eyes were focused on her. He Shengnian's heroic rescue of the beauty before made them immediately aware of the subtle emotional changes in the cabin.
The most angry person was Zhong Zining.
If He Shengnian liked Qiao Wanshu, she would still feel convinced, after all, she and the other party were "good girlfriends", but He Shengnian actually had a good impression of Xu Qinghu. She was shocked and immediately thought that if Xu Qinghu could do it, why couldn't she?
For this reason, the way she looked at Xu Qinghu became critical and sharp.
"Xiao You is so considerate," Zhong Zining said sarcastically, "He always cares about Xu Qinghu."
She stared at He Shengnian, wanting to see his reaction.
Unexpectedly, He Shengnian's eyes were deep, without any emotion fluctuations.
"Xiao You is indeed very considerate," Xu Qinghu glanced at her. "Although he is the youngest in the hut, he knows how to take care of everyone's feelings."
He Shengnian was sitting opposite her, but she did not deny You Zhi's concern for the sake of avoiding suspicion.
He Shengnian's gaze paused on her face, perhaps thinking of his previous rejection and disregard of Xu Qinghu, and his eyes darkened.
The table fell silent until Du Yanting said with a smile, "Why are you all so quiet? If anyone needs help, I'll get you some food."
The atmosphere finally relaxed.
After dinner, the men washed the dishes in the kitchen while Xu Qinghu and Wen Ruoxi cleared the table.
Zhong Zining took Qiao Wanshu's hand and walked into the garden. Looking at her fair and clean face, she wanted to ask her what happened between her and He Shengnian, but she felt it was inappropriate at the right time. She could only feign concern and said, "Qiao Qiao, if you have any worries, you can tell me at any time. Even if I can't make decisions for you, I can share your unhappiness."
Qiao Wanshu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you Zi Ning, I don't have any worries."
She is in a bad mood now and doesn't want to pretend to be sisterly with Zhong Zining in front of the camera.
"It's getting late," Qiao Wanshu said calmly, "I'm going upstairs to rest first."
She let go of Zhong Zining's hand and walked back, not wanting the camera to capture the gloom in her eyes.
"Qiao Qiao..." Looking at her back without turning back, Zhong Zining felt regretful. If Qiao Wanshu confided in her at this time, their "sisterhood" would definitely be stronger.
At this time, Qi Song came out of the hut, strode to Zhong Zining, and asked coldly: "What's wrong with Qiao Qiao?"
He just wanted to talk to Qiao Wanshu, but Qiao Wanshu ran upstairs quickly.
Thinking of her slightly pale face, Qi Song felt very uncomfortable, "Who made her unhappy?"
Facing the camera, Zhong Zining certainly couldn't say Xu Qinghu's name. "Today's competition was very physically demanding. She must be tired."
Qi Song's brows suddenly frowned.
"Of course, if something really happened, wouldn't you be able to observe it yourself?" Zhong Zining said with a hint of meaning, "What do you expect me to tell you?"
Qi Song narrowed his eyes and turned to walk towards the second floor.
Zhong Zining watched his hurriedly leaving back and continued to swing on the swing with her feet.
Of course, the muddier the water in the cabin is, the better. Not only will the show be popular, but she will also be able to find her own opportunities.
Not long after Qiao Wanshu returned to his room, he received a call from home.
She quickly walked to the bathroom where there was no camera and slowly pressed the answer button.
"Brother." She spoke softly, waiting for a response from the other side.
"Qiao Qiao, my family has found He Shengnian's information." The voice on the other end of the phone was more solemn and serious than ever before.
"What is his hidden identity?" Qiao Wanshu's voice also lowered.
After a brief silence, the person on the other end of the phone revealed He Shengnian's background. Qiao Wanshu was stunned for a few seconds, and her pupils contracted violently. When she listened to her brother say word by word how huge and noble He Shengnian's family background was, she felt like she was struck by lightning, and her mind went blank.
He Shengnian is not an ordinary wealthy family. He comes from a secluded family. His family is like a big tree with twisted roots, and it has terrifying power in this land.
Even a rich girl like Qiao Wanshu is only in the upper-middle class, while He Shengnian is a man standing at the top of the pyramid.
This man, who would never appear in a dating show, deliberately hid his identity to start a business in order to train himself, and appeared in front of him by chance.
He may have come for the reputation of the law firm, or perhaps he wanted to give face to his producer friend.
But this unique opportunity is the best and most powerful ladder to success she has ever encountered.
Qiao Wanshu's breathing suddenly became rapid. She still remembered that when He Shengnian first came to the cabin, he had a good impression of her, which meant that she was the type he was interested in.
Her nails dug into her flesh, as if this was the only way to calm the excitement and restlessness in her heart.
"Brother, is everything you said true?" She heard her own hoarse voice, her breathing heavy and rapid, "He Shengnian is really..."
She didn't say the rest of the words. Her extremely rapid heartbeat made her extremely excited.
She bit her lower lip tightly and listened carefully to the voice on the other end of the phone, not daring to miss a single word.
"That's right," the person on the other end of the phone couldn't hide his excitement. "Brother has verified it many times, and there is no problem with the source of the information."
Qiao Wanshu's heartbeat became more and more rapid, and he almost had to squat on the ground to calm down.
"Qiao Qiao, you're a smart girl," the man on the other end of the phone said slowly, "From childhood to adulthood, you've never let us down, and this time is no exception. I believe in you."
Thinking of He Shengnian's handsome face, Qiao Wanshu's palms were almost bleeding from being pinched by his nails. "I know, brother."
She looked at the woman in the mirror, her face flushed and her eyes flashing with ambition and desire, like a wild beast about to go crazy.
Like myself, yet not like myself.
She said slowly: "But he hasn't cared about me as much as before recently."
Although she didn't want to admit it, in the face of absolute interests, she needed the help of her family.
"Don't be afraid," the voice on the other end of the phone said with a faint smile, "Brother has already made arrangements."
"I need... more information about him." Perhaps because he knew He Shengnian's identity, Qiao Wanshu didn't dare to say his name easily.
"no problem."
Qiao Wanshu continued to look at the woman in the mirror, with an unprecedented fighting spirit surging in his heart.
She knew that this would be her most magnificent battlefield. No matter how many obstacles lay ahead, she would resolutely walk to He Shengnian.
He would be the most powerful man she could ever meet, and if she missed him, she would never have the chance to meet someone of the same class.
She absolutely cannot miss it!
"By the way, when dealing with a man of high status, don't be too aggressive," the person on the other end of the line paused, then said with a hint of helplessness, "It will make him feel that you're difficult to approach."
Qiao Wanshu thought about what he had said to He Shengnian during their previous date at the workshop, and immediately found the reason why he favored Xu Qinghu.
Whatever she asked for, he could easily give her.
But her attitude made him feel something was wrong, so he felt disappointed and turned to contact Xu Qinghu.
Qiao Wanshu lowered his eyelashes, thinking that when He Shengnian was officially a founding member, Xu Qinghu was already marrying up, not to mention his true identity.
Xu Qinghu is definitely not her real opponent.
But she's not taking it lightly: "The current developments are not good for me."
She said with a stagnant voice, "My family knows my current situation, and I need more help."
"It's already being arranged," the voice on the other end of the phone whispered comfortingly, "You're of noble birth, and you're not on the same starting line as the others. They won't be an obstacle for you."
These words only reminded Qiao Wanshu not to care about anyone except He Shengnian, and that the family would clear away all the obstacles she encountered.
Qiao Wanshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, brother."
"Why thank me? You are my sister. Your happiness is what we care about most. I will always stand behind you."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Wanshu leaned his hands on the sink and took a long time to calm down the restlessness in his heart.
He Shengnian.
She repeated the name silently in her mind.
If she had known his identity earlier, she would not have contacted Du Yanting at all, nor would she have interacted with other male guests. She would have stayed by his side.
But at this time.
After He Shengnian gave up her and chose Xu Qinghu, the timing was too bad. Although she was confident, she was still a little worried.
Can He Shengnian really turn back?
She stared at herself in the mirror, trying to make an expression with curved eyebrows and eyes like Xu Qinghu, but she failed after trying several times.
She couldn't smile so brightly, nor could her eyes become so warm.
Her upbringing allowed her to appear calm and indifferent, and even if she was filled with anger, she could only suppress it.
This is the difference between her and Xu Qinghu.
As long as He Shengnian has eyes, he will know who is the most suitable person for him.
After a long ideological struggle, Qiao Wanshu finally calmed himself down and began to think about how to face He Shengnian.
It would be best to hit the target with one strike, completely drawing his attention away from Xu Qinghu.
She turned on the faucet and was about to soak her face with cold water when there was a knock on the door. Qiao Wanshu stopped, tidied her hair, turned around and left the bathroom.
She opened the door and saw Qi Song standing at the door with a smile on his face. He was holding a glass of freshly squeezed watermelon juice in his hand and staring at her with burning eyes. "I guessed that you haven't rested yet. If you're in a bad mood, you can chat with me."
"No need," Qiao Wanshu said coldly, "I'm not in a bad mood."
Qi Song's eyes darkened, "Then do you want some watermelon juice?"
Qiao Wanshu still shook her head. She was too busy taking care of herself to deal with Qi Song.
"Is it because of Mr. He?" Qi Song lowered his voice and said, "You don't have to..."
"No," Qiao Wanshu quickly interrupted him, a hint of annoyance in his eyes, "It has nothing to do with him."
Qi Song stood at the door, seeming a little at a loss.
When facing other female guests, he always behaves aggressively and badly, but when facing Qiao Wanshu, he becomes a completely different person, being extremely submissive and flattering.
"No matter what the reason is, you can come to me," Qi Song took a step towards her and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I am different from others. My feelings for you will not change."
