That tone gave Haitong a very average impression.
Haitong was furious.
Who knows what’s even more infuriating is yet to come.
The girl looked back at her nonchalantly and answered Fred: "I don't know him."
Haitong: “…”
All the blood in her body rushed to her head, and her face, which was already red to begin with, turned even redder, perhaps from anger or shame, to the point where it looked like blood was about to bleed.
She used all her strength to lift up the hem of her skirt and ran in front of the two men, blocking their way, and asked them questions like a machine gun: "Why are you pretending? Why did you tell Mr. Fred that you didn't know me? Why, this is your trick. You want Mr. Fred to misunderstand that I am pestering you, right? Why are you so scheming!"
Qiao Nian thought she was well-mannered, and impatiently pulled down her cap. Her dark eyes reflected her frantic look, and she pursed her lips: "What's the matter?"
Haitong was asked by her instead.
She just stopped the two men on impulse, there was no real reason, and she suddenly didn't know what to say.
The girl didn’t indulge her: “Just get out of the way if you have nothing to do!”
Haitong bit her lip. The scene of being kicked out of the banquet just now reappeared in her mind, making her very unwilling.
Her eyes were red, like a stubborn young animal: "You did it, didn't you?"
Qiao Nian: “???”
Haitong was hysterical: "It was you who said bad things about me in front of my brother and reported me. That's why my brother hates me. Don't think I don't know!"
Qiao Nian remembered that both Mr. Ye and Ye Lan had mentioned to her about the past of the girl's grandfather, so she was patient and didn't argue with her.
Hearing this, Qiao Nian raised Leng Bai's wrist, turned his cap, and stood there carelessly: "Wait, let me interrupt for a moment. It's convenient to ask, who is your brother?" Hai Tong was stunned, seemingly confused by her question. After two seconds, the hatred in her eyes deepened: "Did you do it on purpose?"
Qiao Nian: “…”
"I don't understand what you are saying either." Not to mention Qiao Nian, even Fred was speechless after listening for a long time.
Hai Tong gritted her teeth, hating Qiao Nian for deliberately ruining her image. She suppressed her anger and explained, "She knew that my brother was her boyfriend, but she deliberately asked me who my brother was. She was determined to humiliate me and embarrass me..."
Qiao Nian didn’t know who her brother was, but at least she knew who her boyfriend was. Now she understood and rubbed her eardrums which were hurt by the noise, feeling a little annoyed.
"So you came to me for him?"
"I did it for you!" Haitong gritted her teeth and said, "You are not worthy of my brother. You can only cheat men by tricking them. Do you have any shame?"
Fred frowned when he heard this, and looked at her serious expression: "Madam, please be careful with your words."
"I..." Hai Tong didn't expect that he would speak up for Qiao Nian. Her eyes immediately became redder and her expression became more aggrieved.
Qiao Nian had lost his patience to talk to her, and finally walked to her face and looked at her: "You can stand here today, boss around, and do whatever you want, not because anyone is afraid of you. It's because you have a good grandfather who used his merits to leave you a little dignity. But if you don't cherish his face, you will continue here."
The girl bent down casually and said, "Please help yourself."
Haitong seemed to be nailed to the spot and couldn't speak for a long time.
She was completely suppressed by Qiao Nian's aura. She was timid and panicked at the same time. She didn't want to face the meaning of those words, but she couldn't explain why she didn't dare to face it.
