Mrs. Zhou had seen the world after all. She held back her tears after a brief emotional breakdown and shook her head: "No, you did a great job. We should thank you."
"I just did what I should do." Qiao Nian didn't ask for her thanks.
Only one person in the audience had a pale face, and that was Dai Jiaqi, who had initially challenged Qiao Nian.
She looked at the people around her who could not hide their joy at the news about Zhou Xuxing, then lowered her head and bit her lower lip. She felt that she was as ridiculous as a clown for questioning where Qiao Nian had gone just a second ago.
Her ears were buzzing until Old Mrs. Zhou and the others got on the car and went back to the hotel as arranged by Liang Conglin. She followed Zhou's mother behind.
Just when I was feeling distraught, I heard the girl's quiet voice with a hint of warning.
"If you are here to play tricks, you might as well go back early. I will have someone buy you a plane ticket and you will be in Beijing tonight."
Dai Jiaqi raised his head abruptly and met the girl's clear and emotionless eyes. He then looked away guiltily and his face turned even paler.
However, Zhou's mother next to her realized that Qiao Nian was talking to Dai Jiaqi. She couldn't hide her embarrassment and put her behind her and explained in a low voice to the girl.
"I'm sorry, Qiao Nian. Jiaqi didn't mean it. She just listened to me and thought you...you went out to play. I'm sorry."
Qiao Nian's gaze was still on the girl who was concentrating on pretending to be a quail. He didn't even bother to lift his eyelids and said it again.
"Tell me if you want to know clearly."
"If you are only here to satisfy your own selfish desires, I will still say what I said at the airport. You are not suitable to stay in Country M. I don't have time to take care of children."
Zhou's mother had never seen someone as unbridled and difficult to mess with as Qiao Nian. She opened her mouth, but then remembered that Qiao Nian had just given her no face, and she was too embarrassed to speak up to plead for Dai Jiaqi.
She just secretly regretted that she had implicated Dai Jiaqi. She shouldn't have complained in front of Dai Jiaqi, which caused Qiao Nian to misunderstand Dai Jiaqi.
Dai Jiaqi never dared to explain anything. She just lowered her presence, with her thin back shrouded in shadows, as if Qiao Nian was bullying her.
When Qiao Nian saw her like this, she thought of Qiao Chen in the past, and she felt disgusted. She slightly moved aside to let the car blocking her way. Zhou's mother quickly pulled Dai Jiaqi into the car and said, "Let's go back to the hotel first."
Dai Jiaqi's eyes turned slightly red as she got into the car.
Mother Zhou suppressed her embarrassment and forced a smile to the girl outside the car, "Excuse me, Qiao Nian, shall we go first?"
Qiao Nian closed the car door for them with one hand and said nothing, but his meaning was very clear: he was sending them away.
The driver drove away without saying goodbye.
Michelle then walked over and said, "You have a good temper. I thought you were going to beat her up."
Qiao Nian flexed his wrist and said impatiently, "I don't hit girls."
She doesn't think there is anything wrong with liking someone, even if it is one-sided, as long as it doesn't disturb the other person, it is not wrong.
But Dai Jiaqi was indeed a little annoyed.
Michelle followed her and trotted along: "Where are you going?"
"I remember you have a motorcycle?" The girl asked with certainty, "In your garage? Lend it to me."
Michelle's mouth twitched, and she said, "That's my favorite baby wife, please don't ruin her."
At the same time, he handed the car keys to the girl and walked to the front to lead the way.
"Where are you riding to?"
Qiao Nian took out her phone and turned it on. There was a location map on it. The red dot on the map had been motionless for a long time. She replied with a gloomy look in her eyes, "Go find someone."
