Disdain for Theories
"I've always treated you as a friend!" Qiao Qiao caught up with Hao Youran again and pulled her back. She saw that the people around them were looking in their direction. Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and said to Hao Youran, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go somewhere else."
Hao Youran was in a fit of anger. She didn't care if Qiao Qiao had any difficulties. "Joe Qiao, you're so annoying. Can you stop pestering me? I'm just a commoner. I can't afford to be associated with a rich madam like you."
"Youran, do you have to say that?"
Qiao Qiao knew that Hao Youran had a short temper, but when she heard her good friend say that, it was as if there was a fishbone stuck in her heart. She was flustered.
"Hmph." Hao Youran snorted. She glanced at Qiao Qiao and wanted to leave again.
Qiao Qiao endured the pain in her arm and stubbornly pulled her back. "Can't you listen to my explanation?"
"What's there to explain? Joe Qiao, you'd better not provoke me now. Don't blame me if I do something irrational in a fit of anger! "With that, she fiercely shook off Qiao Qiao's hand and ran away.
"Youran!" Qiao Qiao shouted from behind, but the other party ignored her. She ran at an astonishing speed. Qiao Qiao couldn't catch up at all.
She chased for a while, but she really couldn't catch up. She could only watch her disappear into the crowd.
Why did things turn out like this?
Qiao Qiao slowly stopped. She was annoyed and disheartened. She pulled her hand out to call Hao Youran, but no one answered. She probably saw that it was her call and ignored it.
What happened between her and He Shaochen couldn't be explained in a few words. Moreover, it wasn't a glorious past. She couldn't talk about it and didn't want Hao Youran to worry about her. She didn't expect that it would leave a hidden danger.
But was the friendship between friends so fragile?
She didn't even want to give her a chance to explain. That was what made her the most upset.
Qiao Qiao sighed helplessly. She knew that Hao Youran was an impatient person. Her temper came and went quickly. Now that Hao Youran was angry, she reckoned that even if she went to look for her, she would only be asking for a rebuff. It would be better to let her calm down first, and then explain it to her.
Now, Qiao Qiao could only comfort herself like this.
She packed her things and planned to go to the laboratory, but found that there were people talking about him even there.
Before she entered the laboratory, she heard the voices of a few people chatting in the room.
"She's really lucky to be able to meet such a big shot."
"Isn't that so? How do you think they met? Could it be that Joe Qiao went to a nightclub to be a prostitute, and then he took a fancy to her? "
"Maybe it's true. I always thought that she would go into that line of work. Now, it's more practical to find a rich man to marry than to work on her own."
"Hmph, I didn't like her before. She looks noble and self-loving, but men like that. I think she's like a vixen who seduces men the best!"
"Don't be jealous. I don't think she can marry into a rich family. Wasn't it reported a few days ago? Which star gave birth to three or four children for a man and still couldn't marry into the man's house? Do you think it's so easy to marry into a rich family? "
"Haha, you're right. He Shaochen is such a person. How can he only love one woman? She's just one of his harem. "
Then, there was a burst of laughter in the laboratory.
Qiao Qiao stood at the door, her hand still hanging in the air. Her fine eyelashes were slightly lowered, hiding the emotions in her eyes.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and pushed the door open.
When the girls who were chatting saw that it was Qiao Qiao, the smiles on their faces froze. They looked a little embarrassed and scattered to do their own things.
Qiao Qiao glanced at them and didn't say anything. She went to her seat and began to check the equipment.
Qiao Qiao and the others turned around to look at her movements. They looked at each other in dismay. They thought that they would quarrel, but unfortunately, Qiao Qiao had been very quiet during this period.
But this wasn't about swallowing her anger. She just felt that there was no need to argue with these people.
Why are these people talking bad about you behind your back? That's because you're walking in front of them, and they can only look at your back.
Why do you have to turn around and go back to argue with these people?
Arguing with these people wasn't the best way to fight back. You just had to live well enough that they could only look up to you forever.
When she was halfway through, her phone suddenly rang. The girls who were talking about her behind her back all turned to look at her in unison.
Qiao Qiao glanced at them indifferently. They quickly turned back and pretended to be very serious.
He Shaochen was calling.
Qiao Qiao walked out of the laboratory and went to the empty lounge to call him.
"Hello?"
"Where are you now?" He Shaochen's voice sounded lazy and elegant.
"The laboratory," Qiao Qiao answered honestly.
"Busy?"
"Not really …" It was just like homework every day. Unlike high school, there was no strict time limit. Now that she was a graduate student, her time was even more flexible.
"You're looking for me."
"The media came to school this morning to look for you, right?" He Shaochen used a statement. It seemed that he already knew about this.
Qiao Qiao couldn't help but frown at the mention of this morning's incident.
What happened this morning couldn't be considered pleasant. Qiao Qiao's head hurt when she thought about how the same thing would continue to happen after she left school.
Men are afraid of fame and pigs are afraid of being fat. It was indeed a famous saying!
She didn't plan to hide it and said indifferently, "Yeah, they came."
He Shaochen was silent for a second and then said, "Sorry, I didn't think about it carefully. Don't worry, there won't be a next time."
"Huh?"
Qiaoqiao was stunned. Hearing his tone, why did it feel like he had already done something? Qiao Qiao couldn't help but ask, "He Shaochen, did you already …"
"I've already asked people to call all the major newspapers. If they still want to stay in business, they won't bother you anymore. You can rest assured in the future."
He Shaochen was always so considerate.
Qiao Qiao's heart warmed. She smiled and was about to say something when he said leisurely, "As for the people who bullied you this morning, I've already asked the newspaper company to make a list of them. You can do whatever you want with them."
"Uh … There's no need for that." Qiao Qiao smiled. Although this morning's incident was quite infuriating, it wasn't to the extent of taking revenge on people like this.
"I know you're overflowing with sympathy. I've already asked the newspaper company to deduct a month's salary and bonus. It's a small punishment. You don't have any objections, right?"
Qiao Qiao couldn't help but laugh. He had already done it, yet he still asked if she had any objections?
But it was quite satisfying to hear. "He Shaochen, thank you."
He Shaochen seemed to laugh. "Do we still need to thank each other?"
That was true.
