Chapter 314
And in front of Jiang Qiao!
Men all have self-esteem, especially in front of the woman they like, they want to show their best side, how can they bear to be intimidated by their love rival?
He was so angry that he spoke without hesitation: "Why is Young Master Sheng looking at me like that? Am I wrong?"
The atmosphere was tense, Tang Hao almost put the provocation on the table, Lu Xun was still expressionless, but the coldness in his eyes was real.
The more indifferent Lu Xun was, the more Tang Hao felt that he was hypocritical, and the more outrageous the words he blurted out. Being ignored made him ask directly, "Why, you can't even speak anymore, can't you hear or what?"
Tang Hao made an expression of sudden enlightenment, with a hint of sarcasm: "Oh, I forgot about Young Master Sheng's ears——"
"Tang Hao!"
The unfinished words were interrupted by a cold female voice, and Tang Hao's sarcastic expression froze on his face.
Jiang Qiao said in a cold tone: "You're going too far."
“………………………………”
The man opposite him had no expression on his face, but Tang Hao seemed to see mockery and... pleasure in his dark eyes.
The man did not feel embarrassed by being poked in the sore spot. Instead, he felt happy because of Jiang Qiao's protection. Tang Hao had only one thought in his mind at that moment - Lu Xun did it on purpose.
Jiang Qiao's cold words were still echoing in his ears. Tang Hao felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head, chilling him to the bone. He felt that he was no better than a defeated dog.
"Did I say something wrong?" Tang Hao almost gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Qiao, can you wake up a little?!"
"He's not as harmless as you think!"
Tang Hao's voice was loud, his eyes were red, and his eyes were full of regret. It seemed that he was really doing this for her own good.
Tang Hao, Zheng Min, and even the unfamiliar Sheng Jing all said that Lu Xun was not as gentle and harmless as he looked.
But what is the standard for judging whether a person is good or bad?
Jiang Qiao thought, there is no standard.
Because everyone judges others from their own perspective.
She was the one who spent every day with Lu Xun, and she was the one who was in love with Lu Xun, so she didn't need to get to know Lu Xun from other people.
"I know what kind of person Lu Xun is better than anyone else," Jiang Qiao said.
Her tone was calm, but the trust in her voice could be felt. Tang Hao felt as if his throat was blocked by something indescribable, and even breathing was painful.
Jiang Qiao unconditionally believes in Lu Xun's character, but even doubts his love for her. How can this not be considered double standards?
"…Jiang Qiao, we have known each other for eight years." Tang Hao spoke in a very light voice.
We have known each other for eight years, but he is no match for a stranger whom he has only known for a few months. Tang Hao's voice trembled a little when he said this.
Jiang Qiao was not happy either. She really regarded Tang Hao as a friend, a friend with no vested interests involved. But now it had turned out like this. This was something she did not want to see.
She clenched her hands: "It has nothing to do with how many years we've known each other."
"Tang Hao, you have always been my best friend. Otherwise, I would not have renewed my contract with Tang Entertainment without hesitation."
Jiang Qiao became popular very quickly. Although she has many negative comments from her haters, it is undeniable that her traffic is higher than other female stars.
It’s not that there were no other entertainment companies trying to recruit her, and the resources and conditions they offered were much better than Tang Entertainment, but she still chose Tang Entertainment.
Jiang Qiao had never mentioned these things to Tang Hao, so when Jiang Qiao told him about them, Tang Hao was shocked and fell into silence for a long time.
There is an indescribable joy in the midst of the pain and heartache, but under the word "friend", the joy seems to be tinged with bitterness.
What he wanted was never "friends", but other than friends, he seemed to have no better identity to stay with Jiang Qiao.
The tea in front of him had cooled down. Jiang Qiao silently poured him a new cup of tea. This action made Tang Hao feel even more bitter. A bitter taste rose in his throat.
Lu Xun frowned, then calmly took the teacup from Jiang Qiao and placed it in front of Tang Hao. He had no expression on his face, but it was surprising enough.
“Don’t you want to drink?” Lu Xun finally spoke, his tone calm: “Don’t let it get cold again.”
Tang Hao: “……………………”
Jiang Qiao: “……………………”
Stop adding fuel to the fire, okay?! Jiang Qiao glared at Lu Xun, who pursed his lips. Although he was still unhappy, at least he stopped talking.
The eye contact between the two fell into Tang Hao's eyes, which was clearly a sign of affection between the man and the woman.
The bitterness in his heart was immediately replaced by anger. His face turned pale and blue. Looking at the tea in front of him, he felt as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly.
He can't even let Jiang Qiao pour him a glass of water. His paranoia is frightening. This is just a relationship. If they really get married, won't he tie Jiang Qiao up at home?
Tang Hao looked at Jiang Qiao, but Jiang Qiao seemed to be used to it. There was only a hint of helplessness on his face, but no sign of anger.
“…………………………”
Tang Hao was so angry that his teeth were itching. Seeing that his face had turned black with anger, Jiang Qiao was afraid that he would really get sick from anger, so he quickly changed the subject: "By the way, didn't you say you wanted to see me for something?"
"What's the matter?" Jiang Qiao asked.
Tang Hao was still angry. In just a dozen minutes, he was provoked several times. When he heard this, he didn't think of it for a moment.
He paused for a while before speaking, his voice stiff: "Did Zheng Min tell you about the variety show?"
"I said it." Jiang Qiao asked, "What's wrong?"
Tang Hao would not come to her just for this. Sure enough, Tang Hao's next words proved her guess.
"Li Susu was added at short notice," Tang Hao said. "The production team didn't send an invitation to her team. I don't know how she suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The production team's staff behind the scenes don't know what happened either."
Jiang Qiao was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "What do you mean?"
The production team didn't send an invitation, so how did Li Susu get into the show? No matter how powerful her team is, they don't have the ability to do this.
"She invested?" Jiang Qiao asked speculatively.
She heard from Zheng Min that Li Susu came from a good family, had a company, and was not short of money.
“No.” Tang Hao shook his head and suddenly looked at Lu Xun with an unfriendly look. He said, “I found out that Sheng Group has invested.”
“……………………”
Sheng Group has never been interested in the entertainment industry. Why would it suddenly invest in a variety show? Who would believe it if it didn't have some ulterior motive?
Jiang Qiao had the answer in her heart. She did not feel surprised or panicked. Instead, she felt that everything had settled. What was to come would eventually come. It was useless to avoid it.
Since the choice has been made, we should have thought of such consequences. After all, the Sheng family in Beijing is not a pushover.
