Chapter 39
Qiao Nian looked away with an impatient expression. She was not the least bit interested in what Shen Xing was saying. She glanced at Shen Xing indifferently and said, “Miss Shen, regarding what has happened tonight, I advise you to think carefully before you speak. Don’t let anyone with ulterior motives take advantage of you!”
Shen Ming glanced at Shen Xing with a peculiar expression before turning his gaze toward Sun Jiu, who was still kneeling. He had initially planned to make use of this opportunity to get Shen Xing and Sun Jiu engaged. However, it appeared that Sun Jiu wasn’t someone who could be placed in a position of importance.
Shen Xing did not understand her father’s good intentions. She continued to glare at Qiao Nian angrily and berated loudly, “Qiao Nian, you’re so vicious. I didn’t expect you to ruin my reputation. I know you’re the Second Young Madam of the Gu family now, but I’d rather die than submit to you!”
Shen Xing subconsciously glanced at Qiao Xin, who was sitting not far away. If Qiao Xin had not told her about those things, she would never have thought of going against Qiao Nian. Moreover, she wouldn’t have known that Qiao Nian was the person who had hurt her older sister.
Lin Nan walked towards Sun Jiu, his expression calm. He gazed at Sun Jiu’s face for a long while before he spoke. “Mr. Sun, every word you say will be recorded. Please tell us everything that happened from the beginning. If we find out that you are lying, the consequences…”
Naturally, Shen Xing knew Lin Nan was threatening Sun Jiu. Her heart skipped a beat. If she could not drag Qiao Nian down this time, her reputation would be ruined. However, beyond that, the entire Shen family would definitely become a thorn in the Gu family’s side.
Shen Xing wanted to kick Sun Jiu, who was kneeling beside her, but she was afraid that she would be exposed. She could only stand on the spot and glare at Sun Jiu with a ferocious expression. She said furiously, “I told you to tell the truth. Hurry up!”
“Miss Shen, your gown today is very unique. There’s even a strange smell.” Qiao Nian felt that with Shen Xing’s pig-like brain, she probably wouldn’t be able to figure out what was going on. All Qiao Nian could do was help Shen Xing get there.
Shen Xing’s face turned paler and paler. She swallowed nervously and looked at Qiao Nian in panic. Turning to glance at Qiao Xin not far away, she saw that Qiao Xin was about to leave. Shen Xing shouted, “Qiao Xin, stop right there!”
Lin Nan paused for a second and pushed his glasses up. He continued, “The last person who lied… his family is already begging on the streets. None of the companies under the Gu family will hire him or any of his family members.”
Shen Ming only hoped that this matter would end as soon as possible. Then, he could send Shen Xing overseas and never allow her to return. Thus, he said, “Xing Xing, you tell the story. You’re not allowed to lie!”
Zhao Qian stood at the side with a stunned expression. She glanced at Qiao Xin, then at Shen Xing who was not far away. Her gaze fell on Shen Xing’s gown hidden in the grass, and she cried out in surprise.
“Young Mistress Shen, Xin Xin has just fainted. She isn’t feeling well right now.” Su Yan frowned. He didn’t understand why Shen Xing had asked Qiao Xin to go over. He didn’t want Xin Xin to get hurt.
The blood drained from Sun Jiu’s face. Most of the companies in Country Z were related to the Gu family. Even those companies who were not would still not hire them out of respect for the Gu family.
Seeing that Qiao Xin was dawdling on purpose, Shen Xing roared angrily, “Qiao Xin, is your leg broken or what? Why are you walking so slowly? Do you need me to carry you over?”
Shen Xing saw that Qiao Xin had her head lowered. She glanced back at Qiao Nian. Qiao Nian’s indifferent expression seemed to be giving her one last chance.
