Chapter 23 - Another Black Card

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Eleventh Building finally fell to Qiao Nian’s hands. But because of how complicated the situation was, no one was looking forward to seeing who it would truly belong to in the end. 

Qiao Nian herself did not know how to deal with this situation. She insisted on swiping her own card, but Qin Geng refused to let her. In the end, she used the threat of never seeing each other again to swipe her card. 

Qin Geng also made up his mind. He had to give in to his mother in public. After all, he couldn’t let his mother lose face. 300 million was still his mother’s first gift! He would find a way to pay her back. 

To the surprise of the crowd, Qiao Nian also took out a black card! 

The crowd was shocked to see another one taken out so casually. 

They could not believe how humbly Qiao Nian presented herself. No one would ever think that she too, would own a black card. 

Everyone present was smart. Seeing that Qiao Nian and her son each had a black card, and thinking of the disagreement between Qiao Nian and Qiao Shi, they started to slowly adjust their seats and sit further away from Qiao Shi. 

Many socialites and rich ladies had already made up their minds to befriend Qiao Nian. 

“Qiao Shi, why didn’t you say anything when you were leaving?” Qiao Nian looked at Qiao Shi, who was trying to sneak away, and subtly reminded her of their bet. 

“What? I’m going to the bathroom. Do I still need to report to you when I go to the bathroom?” Qiao Shi felt extremely guilty. 

“Oh!” Qiao Nian dragged out her voice. “It doesn’t matter to me, I was just reminding you of our bet, I have the costume ready. There is a ready-made stage today. I believe that you will not let everyone down.” 

Qiao Nian did not like to stand out, but the b*tch had already tried her hand. If she did not teach him a lesson, who knows what would happen. 

“You—” Qiao Shi wanted to go back on the bet. 

“Why can’t I understand what you’re saying? Isn’t today the auction of the Eleventh Building? Oh right, I haven’t congratulated you on choosing the house you like.” Qiao Shi made up her mind to back out of the bet, thus, she shamelessly avoided the topic. 

“Is it because our group did not treat our guests well that Miss Qiao Shi’s memory is affected?” 

A graceful man walked out of the elevator and spoke out. “I remember that it was Miss Qiao Shi who personally proposed the bet yesterday. Moreover, I heard Miss Qiao Nian mention it just now. So why are you avoiding the topic?” The man said indifferently. 

“Qin Yang! It’s Qin Yang!” 

The newcomer was none other than Qin Yang. The crowd started gossiping once again. 

Everyone looked at Qiao Nian in a different light! What was the background of this new woman? Even Qin Yang, who had never been close to women, stood up for her! 

Qiao Shi’s face was as black as coal. Qin Yang’s appearance had completely ruined her attempt to go back on her bet today! 

Qiao Shi now thoroughly understood what it meant to be caught in a dilemma. 

Now, she was afraid that she would become a laughingstock to her social circle and would not be able to continue living. 

She hated this. If she went back on her word now, she would never be trusted again in her social circles! 

Seeing that everything that she had painstakingly built for so many years was about to be destroyed, Qiao Shi wished she could murder Qiao Nian! 

“Are you in a difficult position? Now do you know what it means eat your words?” 

Qiao Nian smiled indifferently. “You are not the kind of person who will not forgive people who are unreasonable. If you don’t want to honor our bet, then it’s not like you can’t give in. So, tell me, do you want to forfeit?” 

“Speak!” Qin Yang commanded. Qiao Shi looked at Qin Yang. She didn’t dare offend him and could only gnash her teeth. 

“Firstly, I’ll exempt you from kneeling, but you have to solemnly apologize to me. Secondly, I’ll exempt you from dressing up like a dog, but I want to take back the pharmaceutical company that my mother left for me.” 

Qiao Nian took a step forward and looked at Qiao Shi with a burning gaze.. “How is it? I still am treating you well, right?”
