For him, the Qiao family was a nightmare.
He ran into Sheng Qian as he left his equipment store.
After Sheng Qian told Sheng Ting to go back, she turned around to see if there were any shops nearby that she wanted.
But he never expected to run into Qiao Xiangrong.
It's strange, but I've run into people I've never met before, twice in the last two days.
"Boss Qiao."
"Boss Sheng, are you here to buy equipment?" Qiao Xiangrong turned around and looked at his shop, asking.
Sheng Qian nodded, then, as if remembering something, said to Qiao Xiangrong, "Mr. Qiao, could I have a few minutes of your time?"
Qiao Xiangrong nodded, turned around and instructed his assistant to wait for him in the car in front. He and Sheng Qian walked to the tree-lined path at the back.
"Mr. Sheng, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Just a short while ago, I ran into Madam Qiao. If I hadn't run into her, I wouldn't have known that Madam Qiao would be so arrogant."
Upon hearing Sheng Qian's words, Qiao Xiangrong's expression changed slightly.
"Did we offend Boss Sheng?" Qiao Xiangrong frowned slightly.
No wonder he felt something was off about the atmosphere at home today.
Sheng Qian said, "It wasn't that they offended me. It's possible that someone said something to Madam Qiao, and Madam Qiao slapped Sister Sheng Ting without asking any questions and said some unpleasant things."
Qiao Xiangrong's expression suddenly changed. "What did you say?"
Sheng Qian was also a little surprised by his reaction.
“Some of the people around Boss Qiao are restless. If we don’t handle them properly, even I won’t dare to do business with Boss Qiao anymore.” Of course, there’s no business between them either.
Qiao Xiangrong, looking displeased, apologized to Sheng Qian, "I'm sorry, it's my fault for not managing people well. But I will give Sheng Ting an explanation for this matter, and I will definitely not let her suffer this injustice for nothing."
After Sheng Qian finished speaking, she was about to leave when she suddenly heard him say that, so she turned around and looked at him again. "Mr. Qiao, may I ask a question?"
"Please go ahead, Mr. Sheng."
"Is Boss Qiao pursuing Sister Sheng Ting?"
Qiao Xiangrong was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then his ears turned slightly red, and he said awkwardly, "I, this..."
"What about Sister Sheng Ting? How did she respond to Boss Qiao? Although Boss Qiao doesn't discriminate based on social status, what happened today makes me worry about his future wife." Sheng Qian wouldn't let Sheng Ting suffer any injustice.
Qiao Xiangrong said, "I will handle this matter."
“Although we come from rural backgrounds and don’t have any powerful family connections, we will never allow ourselves to be wronged for no reason. This is a new era, and everyone is equal. If Boss Qiao really has those kinds of feelings for Sister Shengting, as a man, he shouldn’t let the person he likes suffer like this.” Sheng Qian narrowed her eyes slightly. “Although Sister Shengting is just my cousin, I’m the one who raised her, so I have to take some responsibility for her future. If Boss Qiao can’t give her a stable life, he shouldn’t rush to make a move.”
Sheng Qian's words were already considered mild.
There was a warning in her eyes.
Qiao Xiangrong was a smart man and saw it at a glance.
He stared at Sheng Qian in disbelief.
Sheng Qian turned and left.
Qiao Xiangrong stood there, stunned for a while, before turning back to the car and ordering the driver with a stern face: "Go back to the Qiao family."
Speaking of the Qiao family, they were a prominent family in Beijing.
Although they were a wealthy family, they were particularly small in terms of offspring. The first wife, Madam Qiao, only gave birth to four daughters for the Qiao family, and then she could not have any more children.
Because giving birth to the last child damages a woman's very essence, she will never be able to have her own children again.
Just then, Qiao Xiangrong was brought back, and during that time, Qiao's wife, Zhao Rong, became the laughing stock of the whole city. She caused a ruckus many times, but each time she ended up in a miserable defeat.
It's because she can't give birth to a son. Old Mrs. Qiao is very protective of this precious grandson, and so is Old Mr. Qiao.
Everyone in the Qiao family sided with Qiao Xiangrong; no matter how much Zhao Rong rebelled, it wouldn't make a difference.
Fortunately, the Zhao family had some influence in the capital, and her maternal family had connections. Even though Zhao Rong couldn't give birth to a son, her position in the Qiao family was still very secure.
Qiao Xiangrong was raised by her. If he had been too young to understand when she brought him back, it would have been fine. But he came back at an age when he could remember things, and no matter how Zhao Rong tried to raise him, she couldn't get him to understand her.
Qiao Xiangrong never argued with his family, maintaining the illusion that the Qiao family was very harmonious.
But this time, he was still somewhat annoyed.
If it weren't for this incident, he wouldn't have known that Zhao Rong had arranged for him to be by his side.
He knew very well who it was.
Zhao Rong, who had been slapped by a country bumpkin, returned home and looked in the mirror. She was so shocked that she stood up. Sheng Ting's slap had really hit her hard.
The handprint is visible.
"That little bitch!"
Zhao Rong was so angry that she slammed her hand on the table.
A servant's voice came from outside: "Young Master is back!"
Zhao Rong touched her aching face, her eyes cold and sharp, and turned to walk out.
