Chapter 41 Qiao Xuan feels guilty and blames himself
"You damn green tea! You've lost your child and you're still pretending to have a stomachache?!"
"Don't believe her! What does her miscarriage have to do with me? She deserves it!"
"She seduces men everywhere, and I don't know where she got pregnant with a bastard! She even tried to trick my brother into marrying her!"
"Shameless bitch! Stay away from my brother!"
Qiao Wanwan screamed and rushed over, trying to pull Qu Ge away from Qiao Xuan'an's arms.
But before she could touch her, she was slapped by Qiao Xuan.
"Wake up!"
Qiao Xuan's words were like ice being quenched.
Those usually calm eyes were now sinister and terrifying, covered with scarlet bloodshot, like an angry beast ready to tear its prey into pieces at any time.
The slap scattered Qiao Wanwan's carefully styled bun. The once delicate and elegant little princess of the Qiao family now looked more like a resentful woman abandoned by a man.
Seeing the fierce look in Qiao Xuan'an's eyes, she dared not speak out the grievances in her heart anymore, and they all turned into endless tears.
The reporters' cameras were mercilessly pointed at her face, capturing every embarrassed expression she made.
Until Qiao Xian angrily interrupted the farce—
"My sister was hurt last time and has been traumatized. She's not in a normal mental state right now. I'm sorry to have made you laugh. Please be lenient with me in writing about what happened today!"
As he spoke, Qiao Xu'an gave Bai Chuan a wink.
Baichuan immediately led his men to break through the crowd and put Qiao Wanwan into the car.
Qiao Xuan frowned.
He is now becoming increasingly impatient with that idiot Qiao Wanwan.
If she continues to talk nonsense, the Qiao Group will not survive tomorrow.
The reporters haven't left yet.
You have to do the whole show.
Qu Ge continued to snuggle in Qiao Xu'an's arms, clutching her belly and groaning in pain: "Xu'an, please take me to the hospital... I really feel very uncomfortable."
"Hold on a little longer, we're going to the hospital now."
In front of the camera, Qiao Xu'an was extremely gentle to Qu Ge.
He leaned over, picked her up sideways, and walked quickly towards another car.
Just a second before the two of them got in the car.
Suddenly, someone called him from behind.
"Chairman Qiao, please wait."
A blond, blue-eyed foreign man speaking unfluent Chinese.
Qu Ge had never seen this person before.
However, Qiao Xuan treated him with courtesy and propriety.
"Mr. Gus, I'm really sorry for the poor hospitality today."
"It's okay. I'm honored to have seen such a wonderful show tonight."
Although the foreign man named Gus's Chinese is not very good, his words are full of sarcasm.
He didn't give Qiao Xu'an a chance to explain, and said coldly, "I didn't expect Chairman Qiao's family affairs to be so complicated. I think I must now report everything I saw tonight to Mr. He truthfully. As for whether our future cooperation can proceed smoothly, I will contact you again after Mr. He responds."
It turned out that this Gus was the one sent by He Qing.
In front of Qiao Xian, he was arrogant and spoke in a pretentious tone.
It is not difficult to see that this cooperation should be an opportunity that Qiao family begged for from He Qing.
But now, the situation has been disrupted by this ridiculous farce tonight...
In the car.
Qiao Xu'an always had a gloomy face.
Losing the opportunity to cooperate with Gus was undoubtedly a fatal blow to his subsequent plans.
He was so focused on how to save the situation that he had no time to pay attention to the people around him.
Seeing that he didn't care about her at all, Qu Ge didn't bother to waste time pretending to be sick.
As soon as she sat up straight, Qiao Xuan asked coldly, "Does your stomach hurt anymore?"
"Better."
"Is it no longer painful, or are you not pretending anymore?"
Qiao Xuan glanced at her indifferently, as if he had already seen through her little thoughts.
Qu Ge was not surprised either.
The man in front of her was the good boyfriend who had been by her side for three whole years.
In front of an actor like him, her poor acting skills are really not worth mentioning.
But now that the show has begun, it must be finished.
Qu Ge lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze, and said with a hint of self-mockery: "Yeah, I faked it all. I faked the stomachache, and I also faked losing the baby."
Qiao Xuan's weaknesses have long been exposed.
When the child was mentioned, he instantly lost his temper.
The blurry shadow on the car window reflected the gloom in the woman's eyes, and the anger that Qiao Xuan had just suppressed in his chest was completely replaced by guilt.
"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."
He frowned and urged the driver to speed to the hospital.
Qu Ge said nothing, just like a puppet, letting him lead her around.
The person on duty happened to be the attending physician who was in charge of her last time.
The doctor smelled alcohol on the two people as soon as he raised his nose. He frowned and said seriously, "Miss Qu, didn't I tell you when you were discharged from the hospital that day? In your current condition, you must avoid raw, cold and irritating foods, especially tobacco and alcohol!"
"I just had a glass of champagne..."
"Champagne is also wine! And it's chilled?"
"Um."
"Ms. Qu! How can you... not take your health seriously at all?!"
The doctor sighed anxiously and couldn't help but scold Qu Ge.
Qu Ge lowered his head and listened silently, without explaining or refuting.
Every word of their conversation pierced Qiao Xu'an's heart, like a blunt knife cutting flesh.
Only then did he remember that at the dinner party, he had casually taken a glass of champagne from the tray brought by the waiter and handed it to her!
At the time, he was busy with social engagements and was distracted by someone, so he didn't remember that she couldn't drink.
But she was so obedient that it was heartbreaking. She didn't dare interrupt them and just kept smiling and toasting with him...
An increasingly strong sense of guilt surged up, almost drowning Qiao Xian's chest and suffocating him.
Thinking back to just now, he still suspected that she was pretending to be sick, and he wanted to raise his hand and slap himself twice!
…
Return to Xichuan Yue.
As soon as he got off the car, Qiao Xuan picked up Qu Ge without saying a word.
He ignored her frowning protests and locked her in his arms.
He carried her to the elevator, and she snuggled on his shoulder. When she looked up, she could see the heartache and self-blame deep in his eyes.
Qu Ge sneered in his heart.
She guessed he must be remembering the glass of champagne he had given her at the dinner.
But he didn't know that she didn't drink a single sip of the wine.
She is not that stupid. How could she torture herself for such a thing?
She just took a sip of the wine in front of him and spit it out without leaving a trace when he turned around.
It's just a show.
She herself didn't expect that this glass of wine would be of such great use later.
Go upstairs.
Qiao Xuan personally prepared the medicine and brought it to the guest bedroom.
Qu Ge had just finished taking a shower and came out to see him sitting in her room.
The ends of her hair, which she hadn't had time to blow dry, were still dripping with water. Her wet black hair spread over her shoulders like a piece of fine silk.
A drop of water slid down her neck, instantly catching Qiao Xuan's attention.
His gaze followed the water droplets into the bathrobe, and he suddenly felt a surge of heat throughout his body.
Seeing the strangeness in his eyes, Qu Ge frowned in disgust.
Before she could think of how to get him out, the man in front of her stood up first.
"Let me help you dry your hair, don't catch a cold."
Qiao Xuan hurried into the bathroom and got a hair dryer.
When she stayed at his place before, helping her blow dry her hair had become a tacit understanding between them that didn't require them to speak up.
He stood behind her, the noise of the hair dryer masking his slightly uneven breathing.
The sweet smell of shampoo in his nostrils suddenly made a bunch of messy thoughts emerge in his mind.
His throat rolled, and his fingers seemed to be out of control, stopping on her soft earlobe and unwilling to move away.
Qu Ge is no longer an innocent little girl.
She clearly felt that the person behind her was beginning to get restless.
She immediately jumped up from the bed and took several steps back.
She tried her best to suppress the nausea in her stomach and reminded him as calmly as possible.
"Not now!"
It was like a basin of cold water poured over his head, and Qiao Xu'an suddenly woke up.
The desire that had not yet been completely quenched made him start to blame himself.
Unable to wait to dry her hair, he put down the hair dryer and turned around hurriedly.
"You have a good rest, I'll go back to the company."
Almost fled in panic.
Even if he stayed for one more second, Qiao Xuan was afraid that he would not be able to control the beast called impulse in his heart!
…
"Are you relieved?"
As soon as Qiao Xuan left, Rong Zhoubai's message arrived.
It's strange.
When Qu Ge was with Qiao Xuan, she never received any news from him.
He seemed to have installed a real-time surveillance system on her, so he could know when it was convenient for her to use her phone.
Looking at the three words on the screen, Qu Ge hesitated for a moment before replying.
"How did you do that?"
Get close to Jin Jin, find those videos from her phone, and then show them at the celebration party tonight in front of everyone...
You know, the security department of Qiao Group is not a pushover.
Qu Ge was really curious about how Rong Zhoubai had managed to sneak into the backstage equipment room and create such a ridiculous farce right under Qiao Xuan's nose?
"The mountain man has his own clever plan."
Rong Zhoubai is still the same, he won't explain anything.
Qu Ge felt uneasy: "He will find out it's you sooner or later."
"He only finds out what I want him to find out."
Rong Zhoubai also said this last time.
He always remains calm, as if everything is under his control.
Qu Ge became more and more curious about his secrets.
But he refused to say, and she couldn't do anything about it.
A new message popped up on the screen.
"By the way, do me a favor."
"You are so powerful, do you still need my help?"
"Even tigers take naps."
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Help me find a document."
Rong Zhoubai sent a blurry photo, on which the words "Project Book" could be vaguely seen.
What he wanted her to find was the project book for the collaboration between Qiao Group and He Qing.
Qu Ge frowned, feeling strange.
Rong Zhoubai himself is someone close to He Qing, but now he has to find this document through her hands.
Moreover, when he appeared at the celebration dinner tonight, the foreigner Gus sent by He Qing did not recognize him.
Qu Ge couldn't help but start to doubt Rong Zhoubai's identity.
Is he really He Qing's man?
If not, then why did he go to such great lengths to get close to her and do so much for her?
Qu Ge felt hesitant and uneasy.
Rong Zhoubai seemed to understand her thoughts through the screen.
"Help me, and I'll tell you everything you want to know."
"good."
This time, Qu Ge didn't hesitate for too long.
Although she didn't know what Rong Zhoubai wanted to do, she was sure that he had the same goal as her.
From the day Rong Zhubai appeared, everything he did was aimed at the Qiao family and the Qiao Group.
On this point, they are always in the same camp.
That's enough.
As long as he can help her get revenge, Qu Ge will agree to anything.
As for the rest, it has nothing to do with her.
but……
Although she is with Qiao Xuan every day, she has no access to his mobile phone and computer.
Qiao Xuan is a very cautious person and is always wary of everyone.
All his important things were hidden in the study which was always locked.
She had been with him for three years, and the only time she had gone in was when he happened to forget to lock the door.
Worried for a moment, Qu Ge casually sent a message to Rong Zhoubai: "Can you help me get the password to his study?"
I was just trying anything I could think of as a desperate measure, and didn't hold out much hope.
Unexpectedly, Rong Zhubai replied immediately.
"030109"
“Try this.”
