Chapter 448: Enter the play and fight back.
Zhao Xiaohong deliberately raised her voice and sighed, "Thinking back, life in college was actually the best. Back then, there weren't as many worries as there are now."
"Xiaohong, you are different from us, what worries could you have?" The woman who was looking for trouble just now immediately cooperated and asked.
"I'm not a saint, so how can I not have worries?"
"Even a young lady like you has troubles, so ordinary people like us must be worried to death."
Zhao Xiaohong put her arm around Li Hao, boasting with a bit of helplessness in her tone, "It's not our Li Hao, he is too strong-willed, insisting on making a career for himself, and even refused the help from his family."
"As you all know, the environment has not been very good in the past two years. For a small company like ours, with hundreds of people relying on us for a living, we have to work very hard. I'm pregnant now, and he's the only one supporting the company. He's lost a lot of weight."
"Xiaohong, you are too modest. Li Hao is the most promising one among us. You have a good eye."
A smug smile appeared on Zhao Xiaohong's lips, and it was obvious that the little follower did a good job in supporting the actor.
"Business was good in my parents' era." He changed the subject and smiled as if he remembered something interesting. "I still remember my mother told me that when they first started their business, they had no money at all. In order to look good in business talks, my mother went to the mall to buy high-end suits and told the salesperson that if they didn't fit, she could come back and change them."
"My father wore high-end suits to meet clients, and he didn't dare to eat any food the whole time, for fear that his clothes would get dirty and he wouldn't be able to return them, which would cut off his funding chain."
"But they were lucky. The customer thought my dad was capable and respected him. He just kept being polite and barely touched his chopsticks. That's how we got our first order, and our family started to prosper. Now that I think about it, if we had let down a little, we probably wouldn't be where we are today."
Zhao Xiaohong said this while looking towards Qin Qiao with a hint of amusement in her eyes.
The dress Qin Qiao wore today was specially prepared for this day and cost her more than 30,000 yuan. She didn't want to return it, but she still subconsciously raised her hand, wanting to touch it to see if she had taken it off.
But everyone was not stupid, they could understand the meaning of the story, so Qin Qiao's actions were seen by everyone, and she was instantly awkward, she didn't know whether to put her hands down or raise them up...
Chen An knew that this woman was up to no good, and at the same time he was depressed. Sister Xiaoqiao, you are making things more difficult for your brother. Be careful or I will make things more difficult for you later.
But these are all trivial matters. Let me, Mr. Chen, save you from this dire straits.
He reached out and gently hugged Qin Qiao, then took her hand in his to ease the awkwardness.
"Everyone present here is actually a smart person. The story that Miss Zhao just told was very exciting and pointed. I'm curious about what your purpose is in saying that?" Chen An directly changed his strategy and exposed the other party's indirect accusations in front of everyone, making her embarrassed.
Zhao Xiaohong obviously didn't expect that everyone was getting along well with each other, but Chen An suddenly did this. Although Qin Qiao would be embarrassed, she was obviously even more embarrassed.
"Mr. Chen, you misunderstood. I was just telling you a story. I didn't have any malicious intent as you said. You are just being too sensitive."
Chen An looked as if he had suddenly realized something. "So that's how it is. I misunderstood. I thought Miss Zhao had a purpose in telling everyone about her parents' embarrassing story. I didn't expect she just treated it as a joke. I admire you."
Zhao Xiaohong was choked by these words. Her period almost came several months early. She never expected that Chen An was waiting for her here. She opened her mouth to retort, but couldn't find a clue for a moment.
Seeing that Chen An was so difficult to deal with, Li Hao simply stopped talking about martial ethics and said sincerely, "Brother Chen, you misunderstood Xiaohong. In fact, we all feel sorry for Qin Qiao."
"After all, my uncle passed away early, and my aunt also passed away three years ago. We were actually very tormented at the time. Unfortunately, there was a misunderstanding at that time, and Qin Qiao never gave us a chance to explain."
He put his hands together and begged sincerely, "She has suffered too much over the years, please treat her well, Brother Chen."
The moment they heard this, everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Qiao. Their expressions varied, most of them were surprised, some were stunned, and even more were sympathetic.
Qin Qiao looked at Li Hao in shock. Even though she had resentment and hatred towards this man after what happened in the past, she never expected that this man would reveal her privacy in such an occasion.
You know, the early death of her parents has always been the deepest pain in her heart, which she has never been willing to mention. Especially when she thought of her situation when her mother died, Qin Qiao's eyes instantly turned red, and she stared at Li Hao, wishing she could tear this man apart.
Facing Qin Qiao's hateful gaze, Li Hao suddenly felt a little guilty. He was indeed a little too excited just now and didn't dare to look her in the eye.
Qin Qiao looked at the people around her, and seeing their sympathetic and pitying eyes, she felt extremely humiliated. Anyone in her position would not feel good. The long-lost loneliness and helplessness enveloped her whole body, making her shiver involuntarily.
Chen An felt the helplessness of the woman in his arms and really wanted to rush up and beat the bastard to death, but he couldn't do that, not because he was afraid of taking responsibility, but because they would become the weak ones and the other party's goal would be achieved.
Although he was a little caught off guard by the news, Chen An still reacted quickly. He hugged Qin Qiao tightly and comforted her, "Qiao'er, I'm here."
Qin Qiao felt Chen An's warm chest and gentle words, and raised her head timidly. She was very afraid of this man, and he looked at her with sympathy.
Seeing Chen An's look, she breathed a sigh of relief. He gave her a confident smile, and this smile made her obsessed.
Chen An turned his head with an indifferent expression, a hint of smile on his lips, and thanked him in a cold voice, "Thank you, Brother Li, for your so-called kind reminder. I know my woman better than you do, and I understand everything about her. We have the same experience, and I am also lonely..."
When Qin Qiao heard Chen An's words, she quickly reached out to cover his mouth to prevent him from speaking.
Chen An gently took Qin Qiao's hand away and said seriously, "Qiao'er, although we have both lost all our loved ones, we are now the closest people to each other."
We are all smart people, and we can clearly see Li Hao's sinister intentions and Chen An's purpose of revealing his background in public.
Everyone couldn't help but despise Li Hao in their hearts, and even Zhao Xiaohong was no exception. One abandoned his helpless childhood sweetheart, and the other stole the boyfriend of a woman with a miserable life.
As for Chen An's performance, everyone admired and was moved by it. Some sentimental women already had red eyes at this time. This man was so warm-hearted that for the sake of his woman, he would rather expose his shortcomings and bear the gazes of others under the spotlight together.
