Chapter 40 The Child is Gone
Jin Jin's words immediately caused the whole audience to explode.
Previously, the incident of "Qiao Group's daughter confessing to murder" which caused heated discussion on the entire Internet is still talked about today.
Although Qiao's official account has clarified that the video was synthesized by AI, this clumsy rhetoric is not enough to convince everyone.
Now, in front of so many guests and in front of the camera, Jin Jin once again brought up the incident of Qiao Wanwan hitting and killing Qu Shunzhi.
This undoubtedly slapped the Qiao Group in the face in public.
Ever since he saw the videos on the screen, Qiao Xuan's face has been gloomy and ugly.
At this moment, there was a sinister coldness in his eyes.
He frowned and stared at Qu Ge, suppressing his anger and asking in a deep voice, "Did you arrange what happened tonight?"
"I haven't left your sight since I walked in. Why do you think it's me?"
In the video, Qu Ge was bullied and humiliated by Jin Jin and others.
Even strangers would frown for her after seeing this, but Qiao Xuan was cold-hearted and only cared about his own interests.
Qu Ge sneered in his heart, but did not show it on his face.
She shed a few tears, looking pitiful: "Since you don't trust me, why do you insist on keeping me by your side? I originally thought that we still had a chance to mend the past, but now it seems..."
"It's not that I don't believe you, I just think it's too much of a coincidence."
Seeing Qu Ge's tears, Qiao Xu'an's heart softened.
She had never taken the initiative to show weakness to him before, and even if he really misunderstood her, she never opened her mouth to explain.
With her strong character, if she hadn't really suffered a great injustice, she would never shed tears in front of so many people...
Qu Ge's tears instantly extinguished the pent-up anger in Qiao Xuan's chest.
Looking at her red eyes, he couldn't bear to ask her any more questions.
The venue was in chaos.
Before being surrounded by those annoying reporters, Qiao Xian pulled Qu Ge and quickly left the hall under the protection of a group of bodyguards.
In the lounge.
Director Jin of Kang Zhou paced back and forth with an anxious look on his face.
When he saw Qiao Xu'an, he quickly stepped forward and explained with a smile on his face, "Mr. Qiao... Oh no! Chairman Qiao, what happened to my daughter tonight must have been set up! She said those things because she was misled by the video on the Internet! How could Miss Qiao, she, she kill someone!"
"Mr. Jin, now that things have come to this, can you tell me something useful?"
Qiao Xu'an interrupted the other party coldly, with a sharp look in his eyes.
Director Jin immediately understood: "Yes, yes, I understand! I'll go out and explain to the media right away!"
Things have gotten so serious that someone has to stand up and take responsibility.
Since those words came from Jin Jin's mouth, Director Jin should be responsible for this matter.
It's his fault for not being able to discipline his own daughter.
Qiao Xuan pushed Director Jin out to block the knife.
But of course, those reporters outside want more than that.
Fortunately, Qiao Wanwan didn’t come tonight.
Otherwise, who knows how big a mess it would cause.
Just as Qiao Xuan was thinking, Bai Chuan called.
"Chairman, something happened! Miss Wanwan is surrounded by reporters at the door!"
…
Qiao Wanwan came here secretly without telling Qiao Xuan.
A quarter of an hour ago, she saw the video of Qiao Xuan announcing his marriage on her WeChat Moments.
The more she thought about it at home, the more unwilling she became.
It was obvious that she had worked hard to negotiate the cooperation between Qiao and Kang Zhou after drinking so much!
For this contract, she was almost molested by that pervert Liu Yong!
But why did Qiao Xu'an bring Qu Ge to the celebration party? !
Not only that, he was planning to marry her?!
Qiao Wanwan was so angry that she exploded on the spot. She didn't care about anything else and just wanted to find Qiao Xuan to ask him face to face.
She had given so much for him, why did he still choose that bitch who was not worthy of him?!
She came in a rage.
As soon as he got out of the car, he was surrounded by a large group of media waiting at the door.
Originally, only five or six media outlets were invited to today's celebration banquet.
But once the incident happened, the downstairs of the hotel was quickly filled with reporters who had heard the news.
These people are like sharks lurking in the deep sea. As soon as they smell a little blood, they will rush forward immediately.
"Ms. Qiao! Do you have any explanation for what Miss Jin just said?"
"Ms. Qiao! Did you really instigate others to maliciously bully Ms. Qu Ge multiple times?!"
"Chairman Qiao just announced his marriage to Miss Qu. What do you think about this?"
"Ms. Qiao, there are rumors online that you and Chairman Qiao have an illicit relationship that goes beyond sibling love. Is this true?!"
"Ms. Qiao, did you really kill Miss Qu's mother? Why did you do this?!"
The questions asked by the reporter were more pointed than the last.
Before Qiao Wanwan could even figure out what was going on, she was blinded by the flashing lights in front of her.
"What are you talking about? When did I allow anyone to bully her?!"
"I didn't kill anyone! Stop talking nonsense! Be careful or I'll have my lawyer sue you for defamation!"
"Get out of the way! Stop bothering me! Are you annoying me?!"
Qiao Wanwan ran away on her own without any bodyguards.
Now she is being harassed by these reporters and she has no way of getting away.
She tried her best to push away the annoying flies in front of her, but soon more flies would surround her.
She struggled to push through the crowd and finally reached the door, but was refused entry by the hotel manager because she did not have an invitation.
"Are you blind? Don't you know who I am? How dare you block my way!"
Qiao Wanwan was furious and glared at the hotel manager with her round almond-shaped eyes.
This scene was, of course, clearly captured by the surrounding cameras.
The soft and cute persona she had worked hard to build on social media platforms over the years collapsed in an instant.
Those netizens who saw the live broadcast through the screen began to scold her.
"Why is she so bad-tempered? Just because she has a few bucks, does that mean she can harass workers?"
"Oh my god! The way she curses is exactly the same as in the last video! Is that video really AI?"
"Didn't they say she was injured and turned into a vegetable? Now she looks so full of energy. One punch could beat ten of me..."
"We should investigate the Qiao Group thoroughly! Didn't her father just go to jail for corruption and bribery? I don't think her whole family is innocent!"
Seeing that the comments were becoming more and more biased, Qiao Xuan frowned.
He had wanted to ease the previous public pressure by announcing his marriage today, but who would have thought that it would have the opposite effect!
The noise downstairs was getting louder and louder.
The current situation is like having a knife hanging over your neck.
Qiao Xuan had no choice but to go downstairs and deal with it himself.
Five minutes later, he and Qu Ge appeared in front of the media cameras holding hands.
Seeing them, the reporters who had besieged Qiao Wanwan finally turned their guns against them.
Qiao Xian refused to answer any questions and walked straight towards Qiao Wanwan.
However, behind him, reporters had already pointed their cameras at the cigarette scar on Qu Ge's arm.
Qu Ge doesn't need to say a word now.
Those traces are the best answer to the reporters.
Although Qu Ge had previously shown the scars on his body on a live broadcast, netizens now obviously prefer to hear stories from other people.
When she said she was a victim, everyone scolded her for making a stunt to attract attention.
And now, she has become a victim under the camera of others, and finally she can see countless compassionate eyes through the cold cameras!
Qu Ge followed Qiao Xu'an "obediently".
When she saw the burning anger in Qiao Wanwan's eyes, she knew that now was the best time to show off her acting skills.
At this moment, Qiao Wanwan was on the brink of collapse.
Just give her a little stimulation and she may completely lose control at any time!
Calculating the timing perfectly, Qu Ge pretended to slip and fell powerlessly into Qiao Xuan's arms.
"Xu An, my stomach hurts..."
She spoke, her voice not loud, but just loud enough for every reporter to hear.
The reporters' eyes suddenly lit up.
Previously, Qiao Xuan had made Qu Ge’s pregnancy public, and it became known to everyone.
But no media outlet knows yet that she has had a miscarriage.
To these reporters, she was currently pregnant with the next heir to the Qiao Group.
The cameras immediately focused on her flat belly.
"Ms. Qu, do you need me to call an ambulance? Is this common? Is this a normal pregnancy reaction?!"
"Chairman Qiao, are you rushing to announce your marriage today because of Miss Qu's pregnancy? If she wasn't pregnant, would you still be responsible for her?!"
As expected, the "child" in Qu Ge's belly that no longer existed immediately became the most popular topic in the media.
This is undoubtedly the thing that Qiao Wanwan least wants to be mentioned now.
She was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she hurriedly tried to stop Qu Ge from telling the truth.
However, Qu Ge spoke first: "No, please don't misunderstand. Xu An's choice to marry me has nothing to do with my pregnancy. And... my child is no longer here."
Before he finished speaking, Qu Ge's eyes were red with tears.
She raised her head and stared at Qiao Wanwan with resentment, wishing she could pounce on her and eat her alive.
Of course, these subtle expressions of hers could not escape the reporter's camera.
The clever reporter quickly guessed, "Ms. Qu! Are you saying you've had a miscarriage? Does this have anything to do with Ms. Qiao?"
"Sorry, I can't comment on this matter."
Of course Qu Ge wouldn't be stupid enough to say everything directly.
Only by leaving enough room for imagination can the most perfect effect be achieved.
She quickly lowered her head, wiped the red corners of her eyes with her fingertips, and then buried her face in Qiao Xuan's arms to prevent the reporters from taking pictures.
The noisy reporters calling him "kid" all the time had already aroused Qiao Xuan's suppressed anger to the extreme.
The outburst of rage burned away his sanity.
He could no longer bear it and roared, "Has that enough? Get out of here!"
For a moment, the surroundings fell silent.
Only Qu Ge's sobbing could be heard intermittently by everyone.
Nothing could be more vivid than this.
Qiao Wanwan's crimes are obvious.
The fearless reporter once again pointed the camera at her: "Ms. Qiao! Is it true that you had something to do with Ms. Qu's miscarriage?!"
"Of course not!"
The cold sweat blurred the delicate makeup on Qiao Wanwan's face.
She tried her best to deny it, but her voice trembled uncontrollably.
She looked at Qiao Xian in panic, looking for help.
But what she saw was his undisguised disgust for her.
Qiao Wanwan was completely crushed by this last straw.
"That's enough!" she screamed hysterically, "Qu Ge, stop pretending!"
