CHAPTER 43
The Tragedy of Language Barrier
Qiao Qiao walked out of the crowd and stopped the security guard who wanted to rape the girl.
As soon as she stepped forward, the security guard didn't dare to do anything. He just looked at Shen Ruohan awkwardly, not knowing what to do.
The girl hurriedly hid behind Qiao Qiao and muttered, "Thank God, there are still kind-hearted people."
"Don't worry, I'll take you to see Mr. Francis." Qiao Qiao turned around and communicated with the girl in pure C Mandarin.
The girl was surprised. "You can understand C Mandarin?"
"Our daily interactions are alright."
The girl gave Qiao Qiao a big hug as if she had seen her family in a foreign country. Qiao Qiao was almost sent flying. This girl was so small, but she was so strong!
"That's great. I finally met someone who can speak C Mandarin. My name is Su Qiong. What about you?" The girl started a conversation.
Su Qiong?
He Shaochen vaguely heard him asking Francis where "Joan" was. She must be the young lady.
"Joe Qiao."
Qiao Qiao smiled faintly, looking dignified and decent.
She hadn't forgotten that she had to put on an elegant mask in front of these people.
Qiao Qiao and Su Qiong had been communicating in C Language, so no one could understand what they were talking about. Shen Ruohan's eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness. She asked with a sullen face, "Miss Qiao? Shouldn't you explain yourself? "
"This is Su Qiong. She came with Mr. Francis."
Qiaoqiao explained the reason for Su Qiong. Just now, Su Qiong had explained everything in front of Shen Ruohan. However, she had used C Mandarin and no one could understand her.
"With Mr. Francis?"
Shen Ruohan looked at Su Qiong as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world. "Miss Qiao, are you trying to fool me or yourself? This woman is clearly from A Country. You said she came with Mr. Francis? Do you believe it? "
The others shook their heads.
Using common sense to speculate, it was indeed impossible.
Francis was the new political star of C Country. How could he be acquainted with a down-and-out girl from A Country? Moreover, this woman's looks were at most above average. Even if she was his female companion, she wasn't qualified.
The socialites didn't believe Qiao Qiao's words at all. Perhaps they just couldn't accept that Francis would bring an ordinary woman as his female companion.
Moreover, Francis had never mentioned that he had brought a female companion!
The conversation between Francis and He Shaochen was in C Mandarin, so it was selectively ignored by these people.
............. Qiao Qiao Qiao..... to Qiao Qiao Qiao.. how is it?...... ".
Qiaoqiao shook her head. "They don't believe it."
....................... . is..... ...................
Qiao Qiao had the same idea. She said to Shen Ruohan, "Won't we know the truth once the mastermind comes out? How about we ask Mr. Francis to come over now? "
Most people would agree to this suggestion. Unfortunately, Shen Ruohan didn't take the conventional path.
"Do you take me for a fool?" Shen Ruohan sneered.
.. Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao was stunned. "What?"
"Mr. Francis and Brother Shaochen are in the middle of a discussion. If you ask me to call him out now, what will they think of me? Will I be an idiot regardless of the occasion? Moreover, who knows where this woman is from? What if she is a terrorist who is here to assassinate Mr. Francis? "
"…"
. Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
If a person had ill intentions towards you, no matter what you did, it would be a heinous crime in her eyes.
Su Qiong asked Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao anxiously, "How is it? Did they agree? "
.. Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao shook her head helplessly. Miss Shen hated her. Even if they went to look for Francis, they would be stopped.
"Mr. Francis brought four bodyguards. Do they know you?". Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao asked again.
Su Qiong nodded quickly. "Yes!"
"The bodyguards who came with Francis also know Miss Su. Call them down and we will know the truth." Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao continued.
At this moment, Shen Ruohan's expression was very ugly. According to common sense, they should verify it just in case. However, she just couldn't take it lying down. Why did they have to listen to this woman's orders in her house?
"Impossible!" Shen Ruohan gritted her teeth and said with red eyes.
. Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao frowned. She felt that Shen Ruohan had gone overboard. Did she not think of the consequences if Su Qiong was really Francis's partner? What would happen if she treated an important guest like this?
How could Shen Ruohan not know?
But she was betting. Betting that the sloppy woman couldn't be Francis's partner!
Now, she pointed the finger at Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao. Her face was frosty and her voice trembled. "Miss Qiao Qiao Qiao, must you ruin today's ball?"
Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao was stunned.
"Do you know that today is my coming of age ceremony?"
"…" She really didn't know.
"Everyone is happily holding a ball for me. Why are you here to ruin it? What did I do wrong to you? Why do you have to make fun of me like this? You are too much! "
The more Shen Ruohan thought about it, the angrier and more aggrieved she got. In the end, she just burst into tears.
A woman's tears had always been a good weapon. The direction of public opinion was suddenly biased towards Shen Ruohan. More people were pointing at Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao.
"Miss Qiao Qiao Qiao, how could you make Ruohan cry? Ruohan is a little hot-tempered, but she is still young. Shouldn't you be more tolerant? You can't be so arrogant just because He Shao is supporting you. "
At this moment, Madam Ye walked over and looked at Qiao Qiao Qiao with a reproachful gaze.
She had just gone to the lounge to chat with a few wealthy ladies. The moment she came out, she saw a group of people surrounding Qiao Qiao and Shen Ruohan in the ballroom. Shen Ruohan was crying her heart out, but Qiao Qiao didn't say anything.
Qiao Qiao was about to explain when Shen Ruohan cried even harder. When she saw Madam Shen walking over, she pounced on her and pointed at Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao. "Mom, she is here to ruin it. Look, today's ball is over. My coming of age ceremony has become a joke!"
Madam Shen was furious when she heard this. How dare she bully her precious daughter!
Her heart ached as she comforted Shen Ruohan. She looked coldly at Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao and walked over. "Miss Qiao Qiao Qiao, what is going on? Did the Shen family offend you in any way? "
Qiao Qiao explained, "Aunt Zhang, this is a misunderstanding …"
"Are you saying that my daughter's crying is also a misunderstanding?"
Madam Shen questioned sternly. "The Shen family is indeed not as good as Family He. However, you are taking advantage of Shaochen's favor to bully our daughter. We will not take this lying down!"
These people were taking advantage of the Shen family's power?
Qiao Qiao Qiao looked around and realized that everyone was just watching the show coldly. No one was willing to explain for her. She couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Shen Ruohan had already stopped crying. She looked at Qiao Qiao with reddened eyes. Now that she had her mother's support, she would not dare to be arrogant in front of her!
Su Qiong didn't understand what they were saying, but she knew that she had dragged Qiao Qiao into this mess. She said remorsefully, "Miss Qiao, don't worry about me. I will wait for Francis outside."
Qiao Qiao shook her head. At this point, even if she wanted to distance herself from Su Qiong, others would not change their opinion of her. She might as well help her until the end.
However, the image that she had painstakingly created today was completely destroyed. She didn't know how He Shaochen would scold her later.
She sighed in her heart and was about to continue explaining.
