The investigation into the Song family is still ongoing, but the results of his investigation are already in.
The Song family is still investigating, and they haven't come looking for Long Yunting again, which means they must have found some clues to prove that it wasn't Long Yunting's side that did it.
Even so, Long Yunting still had to be on guard.
Who knows who else in the capital might want to take action against the Long family?
"Xiao Qian," Sheng Ting called out to Sheng Qian as she was about to enter her room back on the second floor.
"Um?"
"Didn't I refuse Brother Qiao's request to go to the Qiao family before the New Year? On the third day of the New Year, I met with Madam Qiao again, and she suggested that I go to the Qiao family with Brother Qiao when I have time." Sheng Ting had been waiting for Sheng Qian to return so she could ask her opinion.
Sheng Qian was somewhat surprised and asked, "What was Mrs. Qiao's attitude?"
"Not bad, it seems like they've accepted my presence," Sheng Ting whispered.
Sheng Qian thought for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, then you should find time to go to Qiao Xiangrong's place."
"good!"
Sheng Ting nodded with a smile.
"However, you should still keep an eye on things and not be too impulsive."
"I know!"
The next day, Sheng Qian was going to see He Weiguo and the others, while Sheng Ting went to the Qiao family with Qiao Xiangrong.
factory.
As soon as Sheng Qian arrived, He Weiguo came out to greet her: "This place is very nice!"
It is in a semi-concealed location.
Furthermore, the presence of a factory provides a convenient cover, allowing for greater protection against potential harm from the surrounding environment.
It also allows everyone to quietly do their own thing, especially Xu Guangqian and his team's research, which needs such an environment.
“The basement is finished, and construction on the upper level has started now,” Sheng Qian said. “You’ll be living here from now on. What about the others?”
"They're all waiting for you inside."
"Go in."
Sheng Qian brought a lot of medicine over because she wanted to personally treat their old ailments.
This was something Sheng Qian had promised them long ago, and she had to keep her word.
Moreover, they receive their first paycheck as soon as they join, which is a benefit they deserve!
For them, everything that comes next is a matter of life and death.
In terms of benefits, Sheng Qian is absolutely generous.
*
The Qiao family.
Sheng Ting followed Qiao Xiangrong nervously into the Qiao family compound. The Qiao family was indeed a prominent family in the capital, and even the main gate was quite grand. Inside, there was a Roman-style fountain and flower beds, with two gardeners pruning the branches in front of them.
When they saw that Qiao Xiangrong had brought back a pretty girl, they all greeted him.
Qiao Xiangrong nodded slightly, then led Sheng Ting inside. In the courtyard, Qiao's wife, Zhao Rong, was already sitting there waiting for Qiao Xiangrong to bring his future daughter-in-law back.
Zhao Rong glanced at Sheng Ting coldly, her tone also somewhat indifferent, "I'm the only one at home today. Your father happens to have a business deal to attend to, so he asked me to entertain this Miss Sheng."
Sheng Ting instantly sensed that Zhao Rong didn't particularly like her, but she was still much friendlier than when they first met.
Qiao Xiangrong nodded and then asked Sheng Ting to sit down.
Zhao Rong suddenly smiled and became more amiable, which left Sheng Ting somewhat bewildered.
Seeing that Zhao Rong's attitude towards him had changed a lot, he felt relieved.
After chatting in the courtyard for a while, Qiao's father's assistant suddenly walked in. After saying a few words to Qiao Xiangrong, Qiao Xiangrong apologized to Sheng Ting.
Sheng Ting knew he was doing it for business, and she could understand him.
After Qiao Xiangrong left, only Sheng Ting and Zhao Rong remained in the courtyard.
Zhao Rong picked up the tea and took two sips, still smiling, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
His expression was still slightly cool.
"Do you know how Sang-yong convinced us?"
This is also what Sheng Ting wants to know.
Zhao Rong's smile grew even colder. "It was a threat. He actually used that method to threaten me for your sake. Do you think I would accept you after that? Don't be so naive. Do you think a country bumpkin like you deserves to enter the Qiao family? To tell you the truth, I've already found someone from my family. As long as the old lady and old man in the family think it's suitable, the two of them can get married. As for you, since Xiang Rong wants to date, I won't stop her."
The implication is that Qiao Xiangrong's relationship with Sheng Ting is just a fling!
Sheng Ting wants to marry Qiao Xiangrong and become the young mistress of the Qiao family, but there's absolutely no way that's possible!
Seeing Zhao Rong's sudden change in expression, Sheng Ting's face turned pale.
It turns out the other person didn't accept me; they were just pretending.
"Then why did you still have him bring me to the Qiao family?"
"I sent you here to warn you not to have any illusions. With your qualifications, you're not even worthy of being a servant in the Qiao family. Qiao Xiangrong's marriage is decided by me, his legal mother. That was the condition his father agreed to for me. No one can marry into the Qiao family unless I give my approval."
Even if Zhao Rong were to choose, she would choose someone she could control, someone close to her.
It could absolutely not be someone like Sheng Ting.
Sheng Ting's face paled even more. "Brother Qiao doesn't know, does he?"
She was asking about the woman Zhao Rong had arranged behind the scenes.
Zhao Rong smiled and said, "Do you think he wouldn't know? This is something we've discussed with him before."
Sheng Ting's face turned deathly pale!
He could no longer listen to what Zhao Rong said after that.
Qiao Xiangrong knew that he could not marry her, but he still pursued her and told her that he had taken care of his family affairs. This was what he meant by "taking care of his family affairs".
Sheng Ting suddenly felt like she couldn't breathe.
All she wants now is to escape the Qiao family and get to the bottom of things.
The Qiao family must have been hiding something from Qiao Xiangrong...
