"The president wants to see us?"
An Ziyan's expression changed, but he was not overjoyed. Instead, he shielded Qiao Qiao behind him and looked at Yue Xin warily. He asked, "The President is so busy every day. How can you have the time to meet us?"
Yue Xin looked at An Ziyan and sneered, "An Ziyan, you are insignificant and it is indeed difficult for you to meet with the President. However, Her Highness Lilith is different. She is the princess of the J Country's royal family. Her status is noble. If the President wants to meet her, he will be doing his duty as a host."
An Ziyan still felt that there was more to this matter, and the way he looked at Yue Xin was still unfriendly.
Yue Xin looked away and put her hands behind her back. She raised her head and said coldly, "The President is waiting for you in the private room. Please come with me."
How could Qiao Qiao let go of such a good opportunity?
She took a step forward to follow him, but An Ziyan grabbed her wrist and frowned.
Qiao Qiao understood An Ziyan's concerns and said, "Everyone in J Country knows that I'm in A Country. They won't dare to hurt me. Don't worry."
An Ziyan didn't say anything, but he still held onto Qiao Qiao's hand tightly.
He felt that Lan Shaoyu's sudden visit was unusual.
Yue Xin saw that An Ziyan cared so much about Qiao Qiao, and her eyes flashed with intense jealousy. Just now, she was being humiliated by Lan Shaoyu in the gazebo, but An Ziyan and Qiao Qiao were intimately boating on the lake.
Joe Qiao knew that I was here and deliberately set a trap for you, but you jumped into it willingly without any reprimand!
An Ziyan, do I really have no place in your heart?
Yue Xin clenched her fists tightly and resisted the urge to rush up and strangle Qiao Qiao. She turned her face away and said in an unfriendly tone, "Alright, since we're going there, let's not keep the President waiting."
Qiao Qiao stopped when she heard that.
She smiled and said to Yue Xin, "Senior, oh no … I should call you Assistant Ye now. I don't understand how you became the president's assistant, but since we used to be in the same school, I'll give you a heads up."
Yue Xin looked at Qiao Qiao coldly and disdainfully. She sneered, "Remind me? Do I need it? "
Qiao Qiao nodded seriously. "Let's not talk about whether you needed it or not. But now, I feel that I need to give you a reminder. First of all, the look in your eyes. I hate it when people look at me with such blatant eyes. I'm the princess of J Country, and you're a high-ranking official. We both represent the country. If you don't want to do something that will bring shame to A Country, you'd better control that look in your eyes because I really don't like it!"
"You!"
Yue Xin's expression changed. She didn't expect that Qiao Qiao would use her status to suppress her.
This woman had really changed. She had become more and more annoying and hateful. No wonder He Shaochen divorced her. If she were a man, she would never want such a woman as his wife!
Qiao Qiao walked slowly towards Yue Xin and raised her eyebrows. "It doesn't matter if you scold me in your heart, but you'd better set your attitude right. You still need to have basic etiquette."
Yue Xin clenched her fists, her eyes filled with hatred.
Qiao Qiao was much taller than her. She crossed her arms and said arrogantly, "Assistant Ye, your attitude …"
Yue Xin took a deep breath and finally lowered her head. She said, "Princess Lilith, please forgive my rudeness. The president has been waiting in the private room for a long time. Please come with me."
"Sure."
Qiao Qiao gladly accepted.
Lan Shaoyu sat in the private room, surrounded by four stern-looking bodyguards. When Yue Xin brought him over, he noticed that her expression was very bad. He also noticed Qiao Qiao's smiling face. A meaningful look flashed across his eyes.
An Ziyan was stopped outside. He wanted to force his way in, but Qiao Qiao stopped him.
"I'll be fine. You stay outside."
"Qiao Qiao …"
"Trust me." Qiao Qiao said seriously.
An Ziyan looked at the bodyguards around him and examined them carefully. In the end, he compromised.
Qiao Qiao walked into the private room.
Lan Shaoyu stood up and smiled at Qiao Qiao. "Princess Lilith, we've met once before. Do you remember?"
"The president appears in the public's sight every day. How can I not remember?"
The two of them exchanged a few formal greetings.
Qiao Qiao went straight to the point. "The president didn't ask us to come here just to improve the relationship between the two countries, right?"
"Since you know our plan, I won't beat around the bush." Lan Shaoyu restrained his smile and revealed a serious expression. He said in all seriousness, "Your Highness Lilith, I wonder what you think of the He Clan?"
Qiao Qiao's eyelids twitched.
The main event had begun.
"As everyone knows, He Clan is a big family that has existed for thousands of years. They are also the oldest aristocratic family in the world. They have a solid foundation and have businesses in various industries. They even …" Qiao Qiao looked at Lan Shaoyu and he looked back at her. "Oh? Even what? "
"They even have the power to influence the president of a country. Of course, these are all rumors and can't be taken seriously. The president doesn't need to listen to these rumors."
Qiao Qiao casually changed the topic.
However, Lan Shaoyu couldn't relax. He crossed his hands and sighed. "It's a shame to say that I can successfully become the president because of He Clan's financial support. It's not unreasonable to say that He Clan has the power to influence the president of a country."
Qiao Qiao narrowed her eyes. She held the teacup in front of her and slowly stroked the patterns on it with her fingers. She smiled and didn't say anything.
Lan Shaoyu continued, "He Clan is not only terrifying because of their amazing wealth, but also because of their connections. It can be said that He Clan is more useful than me. As the president of Country A, how can I allow such a disruptive force to exist? I don't deny that my current means are a little despicable. However, for the future of Country A, I would rather be condemned by history than destroy He Clan! "
Lan Shaoyu's words were righteous and impassioned. What he did was the most despicable thing, but he glossed over it and turned it into a tragic influence. He believed that people with weak willpower would be easily provoked by his words.
It had to be said that those who could become the president were natural lobbyists.
Qiao Qiao continued his words. "I was the queen of J Country for a period of time. At that time, the Elders' Home was extremely powerful and the royal family was played by them. This kind of cancer should be eliminated."
"I'm very gratified that Your Highness Lilith can think so clearly. I heard that you also want to participate in this plan. Your purpose is to take revenge on He Shaochen for his betrayal?"
Qiao Qiao admitted frankly, "That's right. My motive is not as selfless as the president. I'm doing it for myself. However, our purpose is the same, and that is to eradicate He Clan. With my power alone, I can't overthrow He Clan, so I hope to form an alliance with you."
Lan Shaoyu smiled. "A day as husband and wife means endless devotion for the rest of your life. Moreover, you and Mr. He are pregnant with two children. Can you really do it?"
"It's precisely because we are pregnant with two children that he cheated on you. This is even more unforgivable, don't you think so? Your Highness? "
"Indeed."
Lan Shaoyu's lips curled into a faint smile. He picked up the teacup and slowly tasted the tea.
"Then about the alliance …"
Qiao Qiao asked.
Lan Shaoyu put down the teacup and smiled meaningfully. "Please forgive me for not agreeing immediately. Although I really need Your Highness Lilith's power, I'm also worried that you are the blade that will backfire. If you are a spy sent by Mr. He, I'm finished."
'What a scheming fox!'
Qiao Qiao cursed in her heart, but on the surface, she still put on a decent smile. "Then how does Your Highness want me to prove my sincerity?"
Lan Shaoyu looked at her and chuckled. "You shouldn't ask me this question. You should ask yourself, Your Highness Lilith. How do you plan to prove your sincerity?"

After meeting with Lan Shaoyu, Qiao Qiao went home. She ignored An Ziyan's questions and thought about how to satisfy Lan Shaoyu.
