"Mom, I wish that were true, but it's not."
Lin Ruoxi said coldly, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.
“Li Wei made excessive demands on me at the dinner party and even warned and threatened me.”
"He said if I disagree, I'll regret it."
"What?!" Qin Xiulian and Lin Sanguo's expressions changed.
"Ruoxi, did Li Wei do anything to you?"
"Dad, don't worry, I'm fine," Lin Ruoxi said.
Lin Sanguo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his daughter say that.
"In the face of Li Wei's warnings and threats, Zhang Qiang not only failed to stand up for me, but also abandoned Lina and me at the scene."
"In the end, Zhang Qiang ran away alone. Mom, is this the Zhang Qiang you trusted?" Lin Ruoxi said angrily.
Qin Xiulian's expression changed, turning somewhat grim, and she immediately looked at Zhang Qiang.
"Zhang Qiang, is what Ruoxi said true?"
Although Qin Xiulian is somewhat snobbish, she is not beyond redemption.
If that's the case, Zhang Qiang's actions were very dishonest.
Zhang Qiang felt very embarrassed and awkward under the strange looks from the three men.
Zhang Qiang wanted to deny it, but couldn't find a suitable reason.
"Auntie, this, this..."
Zhang Qiang stammered, his brain racing, trying to find a suitable reason.
Seeing Zhang Qiang's stammering, Qin Xiulian's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
A fire was burning fiercely in Lin Sanguo's heart as well.
He promised to help solve the problem, but ended up putting his own daughter in danger.
Any father would be angry.
Lin Ruoxi watched Zhang Qiang stammer and sneered inwardly.
She wouldn't approve of that kind of person, no matter how good their family background was.
If a man doesn't even protect his own woman.
That means this man is not worth entrusting your life to and should not be considered.
This comparison clearly shows that Ye Chen and Zhang Qiang are far superior.
Lin Ruoxi felt that Ye Chen was her Prince Charming, who loved and protected her.
Qin Xiulian's expression was quite unpleasant.
She had always wanted to matchmake Zhang Qiang with her daughter, even saying that Zhang Qiang was a good match for her daughter.
If this were true, it would be a huge embarrassment.
Given Zhang Qiang's background, Qin Xiulian didn't dare to question him directly and could only patiently inquire.
"Zhang Qiang, is what Ruoxi said true?" Zhang Qiang was extremely embarrassed.
That's right, he fled alone in a panic.
Just then, Zhang Qiang had a sudden inspiration and came up with an excuse.
"Uncle and Aunt, please let me explain."
"Ruoxi is right. I did leave her and Miss Qiao at the scene, and then one of us left first."
Qin Xiulian and Lin Sanguo's expressions changed.
Neither of them expected Zhang Qiang to do such a thing; it was truly despicable.
However, given Zhang Qiang's background, neither of them could afford to make a scene.
The Zhang Group is not something they can contend with.
Lin Ruoxi was also somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected Zhang Qiang to admit it so readily.
In her opinion, this was not in line with Zhang Qiang's style of doing things.
"Uncle and Aunt, Ruoxi, I know you are very angry right now."
"But please let me explain," Zhang Qiang said softly.
Lin Ruoxi watched coldly, not believing that Zhang Qiang could come up with any more tricks.
“Zhang Qiang, you say it,” Qin Xiulian nodded and said.
Zhang Qiang took a breath and then said, "What Ruoxi said is true. Li Wei is still up to no good and is issuing warnings and threats."
“I was very angry at the time, but I knew I couldn’t act impulsively.”
"There were quite a few professional thugs that Li Wei brought in the private room at the time."
“These professional thugs are seasoned veterans; I alone cannot possibly contend with them.”
"A head-on confrontation will definitely not end well."
At this point, Zhang Qiang looked at Qin Xiulian.
"Auntie, under these circumstances, I have no choice but to leave Ruoxi here for now."
"Ruoxi could have kept Li Wei calm at the scene for a while, but I chose to run away so that I could call my dad for help."
“My dad was very angry when he found out about this.”
"He immediately contacted the senior management of Sihai Group before stopping Li Wei's evil deeds..."
It must be said that Zhang Qiang's acting skills are quite good, and his performance is very expressive.
If someone didn't know the details, they might actually believe that's the truth.
As expected, after hearing Zhang Qiang's explanation, Qin Xiulian, whose expression had been unpleasant, put on a smile again.
"I knew Zhang Qiang must have his reasons."
"So he went to such great lengths to save Ruoxi," Qin Xiulian said with a smile.
"Zhang Qiang, I'm really sorry about that. I almost misunderstood you."
"Auntie, you flatter me," Zhang Qiang said, pretending to be heavily pregnant.
"In this situation, it's perfectly normal for uninformed people to misunderstand."
"But I, Zhang Qiang, have a clear conscience and am not afraid of anyone's doubts."
"Ruoxi, listen, listen to this."
"Zhang Qiang was almost misunderstood, but he didn't complain at all. He's such a good man."
Qin Xiulian said with a smile.
She was very satisfied with Zhang Qiang's answer, and all her previous doubts and dissatisfaction disappeared completely.
Lin Ruoxi frowned; she didn't agree with Zhang Qiang's statement.
"Zhang Qiang, so you're saying you were just trying to mislead Li Wei?"
"Yes, Ruoxi, Li Wei had the advantage at the time, with more people and greater strength. It would have been unwise to confront him head-on," Zhang Qiang said, feigning seriousness.
"I only came up with this idea in a moment of inspiration."
"I can only ask you to make do for now, otherwise how can I call my dad for help?"
