CHAPTER 112
Something indecent.
"What did I do wrong?" He Shaochen suppressed his anger and glared at Qiao Qiao.
He wanted to marry her and give her a proper status. He didn't want her to be ridiculed by others. Was there anything wrong with that?
"He Shaochen, I'm not ready to get married yet. Don't force me."
Qiao Qiao rubbed her forehead and said with a headache.
He Shaochen didn't do anything wrong, she knew that. But the more he acted like this, the more Qiu Yixin's words struck her heart.
He would never allow her to marry into Family He.
What kind of disgust and rejection did that elegant and dignified lady have for her to say such resolute and merciless words?
Sandwiched between his biological mother and a girl he had only known for a few months, Qiao Qiao was not confident that He Shaochen would choose her.
The higher he raised her now, the harder she would fall in the future.
She clearly realized that her current happiness was like the moon in the water, a flower in the mirror. She could only look at it but not ask for it. She could only try her best to maintain the current situation. She couldn't bear to throw it away, nor did she dare to take a step forward.
He Shaochen was hurt by Qiao Qiao's helplessness and headache. He clenched his fists tightly and felt pain in his heart.
Could it be that until now, she had never thought of marrying him?
Then what about now? Just to play with him? If he lost interest in her in the future, would he just leave?
He Shaochen felt like a fool. He had rushed home like a silly boy and declared that he would marry no one but her. In the end, she had no intention of marrying him at all. Everything he had done was just a joke in her eyes!
Joe Qiao, you're really something!
"Joe Qiao, are you not going to marry me no matter what I do?"
Qiao Qiao was silent for a while.
No matter what he did … what could he do?
She didn't know.
Qiaoqiao's mind was in a mess. She looked at the street lamp outside that was emitting a cold white light and muttered, "… Probably."
They weren't from the same world to begin with.
He Shaochen's eyes turned red as he glared at Qiao Qiao. He wanted to strangle this heart-wrenching woman to death!
"Get out of the car."
After a long while, He Shaochen finally spat out a sentence.
His voice was filled with disappointment and tiredness.
Qiao Qiao couldn't bear to see him like this. She turned around and said, "He Shaochen, I …"
"Go down, I want to be alone."
"I'm sorry …"
She actually apologized to him.
He Shaochen's lips curled into a smile as he teased, "Heh, Joe Qiao, you really know how to hurt people."
"I …"
"Get down."
Seeing He Shaochen's strong attitude, Qiao Qiao had no choice but to get off the car.
The car drove away in front of her. Qiao Qiao looked at the car in confusion, not knowing if what she did was right or wrong.
It was right, right?
Since she knew the outcome from the start, why did she do something so foolish?
When she got home, Qiao Qiao realized that the Qiao family was still awake and waiting for her in the living room.
Aunt Joe glanced behind her and said sheepishly, "Little He, are you really leaving?"
Qiao Qiao nodded tiredly.
Aunt Joe shook her head regretfully. "Aiya, staying in a hotel isn't as comfortable as staying at home. You silly girl, why didn't you persuade him? Instead, you chased him out. "
Qiao Hui had a mask on her face as she rolled her eyes at Aunt Joe. "Mom, Big Brother He is a rich man. He can just stay in a presidential suite and it's so much better than this dog house of ours."
"You wretched woman, will you die if you don't say anything?" Aunt Joe glared at Qiao Hui.
Qiao Hui walked away resentfully and muttered, "He might have been scared away by our family."
"You're still talking about it!" Aunt Joe pretended to hit her. Qiao Hui hurriedly hid in the room and closed the door.
"Mom, He Shaochen didn't mean that. Don't overthink it." Qiao Qiao smiled and was about to go back to the room to rest when Aunt Joe pulled her back. "Qiao Qiao, will Little He come tomorrow?"
Qiao Qiao was stunned.
He Shaochen would come? Qiao Qiao didn't think that he would show up tomorrow.
"He's very busy with work, so he might not be able to come tomorrow."
Aunt Joe was clearly disappointed. She pulled Qiao Qiao to one side and said earnestly, "Qiao Qiao, Little He is a rich man. There are plenty of flirtatious women around him. You have to hold onto him tightly."
Qiao Qiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Mom, if he really likes someone else, no matter how hard you hold onto him, his heart won't be with you."
"So you have to marry into a rich family and become a rich man's wife while he's still interested in you!"
Aunt Joe's eyes widened.
"Mom, it's not as easy as you think."
"Sigh, you're really …" Aunt Joe expected better from Qiao Qiao. "Why did you reject Little He's marriage proposal?"
"I still want to focus on taking my doctorate exams."
Aunt Joe's eyes turned red when she heard this. What was the point of studying so much if she became a rich man's wife? This girl had become stupid from studying too much!
"Sigh, you …"
"Qiao Qiao just came back. Why are you saying this?" Qiao Qiao's father looked at Aunt Joe reproachfully. He turned to Qiao Qiao and said, "Qiao Qiao, you must be tired. Wash up and go to bed early."
Qiao Qiao nodded. "Dad, Mom, go to bed early."
With that said, before Aunt Joe could stop her again, Qiao Qiao hurriedly slipped into the house.
Aunt Joe and Qiao Qiao's father continued arguing outside the house.
Qiao Qiao smiled bitterly. Sure enough, bringing He Shaochen home was a mistake.
After washing up.
Qiao Qiao was about to go to bed when she heard a soft knock on the door. "Qiao Qiao, are you asleep?"
"Sister-in-law?"
"Yes, it's me," Liu Mengying said softly.
Qiao Qiao wondered why Liu Mengying wasn't asleep in the middle of the night. However, she didn't think too much about it and got up to open the door.
"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
Liu Mengying smiled and said, "Qiao Qiao, I haven't seen you in a long time. I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you."
A heart-to-heart talk?
Qiao Qiao blinked. She didn't remember her sister-in-law being so warm to her before.
"Qiao Qiao, what's going on between you and He Shaochen?" Liu Mengying went straight to the point.
Was it because of He Shaochen again?
"Nothing." Qiao Qiao didn't really want to talk about this topic.
Liu Mengying probably sensed that Qiao Qiao was in a bad mood. She patted her shoulder and said, "Don't take it to heart. Sister-in-law is doing this for your own good. I'm afraid that you'll go astray."
Qiao Qiao's eyes flashed. "Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"
Liu Mengying's expression said, "You know what I mean." Qiao Qiao didn't really understand what she meant.
"Qiao Qiao, you must know what kind of person He Shaochen is. You're just a student. How could you have anything to do with him? Haha, of course, Sister-in-law knows that you're a good child, but … "
"Sister-in-law, what are you trying to say?" Qiao Qiao's face was a little pale.
Liu Mengying's gaze suddenly sharpened. "Don't tell me you're thinking of going into this shady business?"
"I'm not!"
Qiao Qiao retorted sharply.
