Happiness Built on Other People's Pain
In Mother He's eyes, Qiao Qiao's arrogant attitude was like an invisible taunt to her.
Qiao Qiao's voice was very soft and thin, but her pronunciation was perfect and pleasant to listen to. She said word by word, "I will never allow another woman to appear by He Shaochen's side, nor will I give him the chance to have an affair and get another woman pregnant. Even if there's an ocean between us, I'm still the Queen of a country. I have some capable people under me. I'll have them keep an eye on him at all times. I'll have them warn any woman that appears by his side to stay away from my man. If they don't listen, I have plenty of ways to make them listen!"
Mother He's face turned green when she heard Qiao Qiao's words.
"Joe Qiao, if I really dare to do this and ruin Shaochen and Xia Xi, I'll never let you off. You evil woman. Oh my god, why did our Family He get involved with a woman like you? I'll expose you. I'll let Shaochen see your true colors! Joe Qiao, I won't let your scheme succeed! "Mother He said angrily.
"Then let's see whose methods are better." Qiaoqiao yawned lazily. She looked like a lazy cat, happy and contented. It was a stark contrast to the furious He Shaochen's mother. Qiaoqiao leisurely said: "Seeing that you are He Shaochen's mother, this queen has been gracious enough to talk to you for so long. If you have the slightest bit of gratitude, then you should thank me now."
"Dream on!" Mother He said through gritted teeth.
Qiao Qiao didn't really want Mother He to thank her. She just wanted to annoy her. Now that she was feeling terrible, she could only feel better when she saw others feel worse. Mother He's reaction successfully pleased her. Seeing that she wanted to rush over to her but could only stare at her through the screen, Qiao Qiao felt good!
"Sigh, Country A's aristocratic socialite is just so-so." Qiao Qiao's casual words made Mother He's expression change again. Before she could scold her, Qiao Qiao interrupted Mother He. She said calmly, "This Queen is tired. Let's end our conversation here."
"Wait, Qiao Qiao, you …" Before Mother He could scold her, Qiao Qiao hung up the video call.
She could already imagine how angry Mother He was at the moment and how ferocious her expression was. But so what?
If someone treated her well, she would return the favor ten times. If someone bullied her, she would return the favor ten times!
In the past, in order to please Mother He, she could only swallow all the grievances. However, Qiao Qiao found that this kind of behavior didn't make the relationship between the two of them better. Instead, it made Mother He bully her even more. Now, she would never foolishly please a person who hated her.
Qiao Qiao calmed her anxious mood. She wasn't sure how much of Mother He's words were true and how much of it was false. Qiao Qiao was sure, but she knew that there was a lot of exaggeration in it. Mother He must have added a lot of details. She had to know the truth as soon as possible.
Calling He Shaochen directly was the most straightforward way.
However, she was afraid that the scene of that night would happen again. She had just been mentally bombarded by Mother He. Now she was really afraid of hearing He Shaochen's cold words again. She couldn't stand it.
"I'm so tired of you."
This sentence almost became Qiao Qiao's obsession. Every time she picked up her mobile phone and wanted to call He Shaochen, she couldn't help thinking of this sentence in her mind. What if he thought she was annoying again? Although Qiaoqiao said it in front of He Shaochen's mother, it was all to piss off He Shaochen's mother. If he really faced He Shaochen, Qiaoqiao would still be cowardly.
Therefore, she played with her mobile phone several times. In the end, she gave up the idea of calling He Shaochen directly.
Qiao Qiao thought of Teresa. She knew that Teresa had some connections. If she were to investigate, she wouldn't have to alarm others and would be able to find out the truth quickly. If all of this was a misunderstanding, she would be able to focus on her pregnancy and wouldn't let He Shaochen think that she didn't trust him and asked so rashly. If all of this was true …
No, how could it be true? It was absolutely impossible!
"The reason why I asked Lacey to investigate was just for peace of mind!" Qiao Qiao said to herself, finding an excuse for herself.
Qiao Qiao sent someone to call Teresa over.
In Teresa's house, she sat on a chair by the balcony and looked at her personal terminal with furrowed brows. The higher-ups had urgently given her a new mission.
In just a few days, the J Organisation had been attacked on a large scale for the second time. With Ravel and Adam as the commanders and He Shaochen providing them with an endless supply of materials, manpower, material and financial resources, they had suffered an unimaginable loss.
More than a thousand of the J Organisation's members had been arrested and almost half of their assets had been destroyed.
The J Organisation had always been proud of its secrecy. The uncertainty of its members was their greatest advantage. However, ever since the list of members was leaked, their true colors were gradually revealed. If they were to fight head-on, they might not be a match for Family He.
If they didn't take any action, the J Organisation's end would be near.
Therefore, the mission given to Teresa by the higher-ups was to use Qiao Qiao as a counterattack point. Once something happened to her and the child in her womb, their rhythm would be disrupted. At that time, the J Organisation would be able to take a breather and carry out the next step of their counterattack.
"Why must they attack the J Organisation at this time?" Teresa stared at her personal terminal and muttered to herself.
How good would it be if they could do it after giving birth to the child?
A trace of pity flashed across her eyes.
If possible, she didn't want to hurt Qiao Qiao.
She really liked this woman who had a weak body but a strong heart. She admired the strong.
However, she was only a tool at the mercy of others and didn't have the power to make her own choices …
At this time, the person sent by Qiao Qiao came to her door. "Miss Lacey, the Queen wants to see you."
Teresa was stunned and immediately deleted the command on her personal terminal. She opened the door and nodded. "Is the Queen in her palace now?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll go over now." Teresa was about to go see Qiao Qiao, but the person stopped her.
Teresa looked at the person in confusion.
The person looked at her deeply and said in a low voice, "Teresa, you've been very lazy recently."
Teresa's eyes widened and she looked at the person in surprise.
It was someone from the J Organisation!
"What's the matter?"
Teresa looked to her left and right, but there was no one.
The person had already started to question her. "Why haven't you taken action against the Queen? Do you know how much damage your mistake has caused to the organization? If you could have completed your mission faster, the organization wouldn't have suffered a second large-scale attack! "
Teresa frowned. "Then what do you want me to do?"
"Tomorrow night at 12 o 'clock, Adam and Ravel will launch a third fierce attack on the organization. You have to think of a way to contain them before that."
"Ravel trusts me a lot now. Maybe I can start from him …" Teresa said, but she was coldly interrupted by the person. "No, you have to make Queen Lilith miscarry before that!"
