CHAPTER 44
The price of judging a book by its cover
A tall girl pushed through the crowd and walked over.
Qiao Qiao looked at the woman's face and felt that she looked very familiar, but she had never seen this person before.
"I'm not siding with anyone. I'm just here to help everyone sort out the ins and outs of the matter." The girl's face was like peach blossoms. Shen's mother couldn't say anything and could only nod.
"According to Miss Qiao, this Miss Su is a guest traveling with Mr. Francis. She is now looking for Mr. Francis's whereabouts. Unfortunately, there is a language barrier, so Miss Shen may have misunderstood her."
"It's not a misunderstanding? How could she … "Shen Ruohan hurriedly interrupted and retorted.
"Please let me finish."
The girl glanced at Shen Ruohan indifferently with a hint of deterrence in her eyes.
Shen Ruohan shuddered and shrunk behind her mother, glaring at the girl angrily.
"Miss Qiao could understand Miss Su's words, so she explained on her behalf, hoping to bring Miss Su to see Mr. Francis. However, Miss Shen insisted that Miss Su couldn't be Mr. Francis's companion and refused to send anyone to inform him. I don't know if she was too sensitive and thought that Miss Qiao was deliberately making trouble, but she was so anxious that she cried …"
"Nonsense!" Shen Ruohan pointed at the girl angrily. "You must be in cahoots! Mom, hurry up and chase them out! "
The woman was neither anxious nor impatient. Her lips curled into a smile. "Isn't everyone watching whether it's true or not?"
Qiao Qiao did not expect that someone would stand up for them. She was even more curious about this familiar girl. Her gaze was glued to her. The girl turned around and smiled at her.
Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment before she smiled back at him gratefully.
Shen Ruohan's mother was more mature. She thought for a while and asked, "Ruohan, is that true?"
Ruo Han looked at the people around. Her face was anxious and angry. She nodded in a low voice, "She asked me to inform Mr. Francis. But look at that woman. How could she …"
"It's not up to Miss Shen to decide whether Miss Su is Mr. Francis's female companion, right?"
Qiao Qiao said coldly.
Shen Ruohan glared hatefully at Su Qiong and looked at Qiao Qiao.
"Let's talk about it. Which part of that woman, from top to bottom, is worthy of Mr. Francis? How dare she shamelessly say that she's Francis' female companion? Don't make me laugh my head off. If she has any sense at all, she shouldn't be here! "
Although Su Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao Qiao and Shen Ruohan, she had a bad feeling.

"Mom, don't talk nonsense with them. Hurry up and kick them out!" Hearing Qiaoqiao's words, Shen Ruohan panicked. She just wanted to chase them away and everything would be fine.
Shen's mother was also a little flustered. She looked at Su Qiong behind Qiao Qiao and looked left and right. She didn't think that this woman had anything to do with the ambassador of C Country. She wasn't even from C Country.
But what if it was?
"Why don't we go and ask …"
"Mom!"
"There's no need to ask." A cold male voice came from above. Everyone looked up and saw that Francis and his men had come out and were standing by the escalator on the second floor.
Francis's face was a little gloomy. No one knew when he had been standing there and how much he had heard.
Qiao Qiao sensed that He Shaochen's gaze was on her. Her whole body stiffened. Although she didn't feel that she was in the wrong, she still felt guilty.
Shen's mother's face changed. Shen Ruohan hid behind her mother timidly. She felt that Francis's gaze was as cold as ice. It made her shiver.
Seeing Francis, Su Qiong waved at him excitedly. "Francis, I'm here!"
Francis nodded at Su Qiong. He looked at Su Qiong and facepalmed. "Why do you look like this again?"
"Hehe, there was a small accident." Su Qiong smiled awkwardly.
Francis walked over, took off his suit and put it on Su Qiong's shoulders. "Don't be so reckless in the future."
Su Qiong smiled and nodded. She didn't feel remorseful at all. "I know."
She quickly pulled Qiao Qiao over and said intimately, "It's all thanks to Miss Qiao. Otherwise, I would have been dragged outside. You must thank her properly."
Francis's gaze fell on Qiao Qiao. His gaze was much gentler than before. "Thank you."
Qiao Qiao smiled. "You're welcome. It's nothing."
They were communicating in C Language. Although the others couldn't understand, they weren't blind. They all knew that this ordinary-looking girl was Francis's partner.
Shen Ruohan's mother and Shen Ruohan's faces turned pale. They looked at Shen Zhengen, hoping that he would have a solution. Unfortunately, Shen Zhengen wasn't any better than them. His face was green and white, and he kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.
"Mr. Shen." Francis called out Shen Zhengen's name.
Shen Zhengen quickly pushed through the crowd and came to Francis. He said awkwardly, "Mr. Francis, I think there must be some misunderstanding just now …"
Misunderstanding?
Francis's lips curled up slightly. He glanced coldly at Shen Ruohan's mother and daughter. "My A Language is very good. There shouldn't be any problem with my understanding just now."
Shen Zhengen's face turned even paler.
Francis pulled Su Qiong into his arms and said loudly in front of everyone, "Since everyone is here, let me introduce everyone. This is my first wife, Su Qiong."
This sentence immediately caused an uproar. Shen Zhengen broke out in cold sweat. "Mr. Francis, I …"
"Mr. Shen, as for your suggestion just now, I still need to consider it carefully."
"This …"
"After all, your wife and daughter were very disrespectful to my wife. This makes me very disappointed."
Shen Ruohan's mother and daughter trembled like a sieve.
Francis then said to He Shaochen, "Shaochen, I'll go back first today. Let's meet again another day."
With that, he didn't wait for Shen Zhengen to persuade him to stay. He protected Su Qiong and was about to leave.
Su Qiong quickly struggled. "Wait, I want to leave my phone number with Miss Qiao."
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Why are you in such a hurry?" Francis didn't let Su Qiong turn around. Under her puzzled gaze, he explained, "She is Shaochen's partner. You will have plenty of opportunities to meet her in the future."
Su Qiong was stunned for a moment, but she still waved at Qiao Qiao. "Miss Qiao, see you next time!"
Qiao Qiao smiled and watched Su Qiong and the others leave.
At this moment, He Shaochen also walked over and took her into his arms. He said to Shen Zhengen, who was looking pale, "Uncle Shen, it's getting late. We should leave too."
"Shaochen, this …" Shen Zhengen's eyes were red. "About Mr. Francis, please …"
He Shaochen didn't wait for him to finish and said coldly, "Uncle Shen, Francis loves his wife very much. What you did today made him disappointed. As for how to recover the loss, this is something you should consider."
"You're right, but …"
"I don't want to be sandwiched between you and my good brother. I won't interfere in this matter." He Shaochen completely destroyed Shen Zhengen's thoughts. "As for your rude attitude towards my wife, I will not pursue it on account of the good relationship between Family He and the Shen family. However, I will not come to the Shen family's house again."
With that, he was about to leave with Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao glanced at everyone from the corner of her eye and realized that the girl who had helped her out of the predicament was no longer there.
