Chapter 1421 The Reason For Being Late

Madam He looked gentle on the surface, but her heart was filled with a trace of anger. All these years, everyone in the He family had maintained a gentle and kind image. As the mistress of the He family, she was naturally no exception. However, when she found out that Qiao Xi was questioning her daughter in public, she could not help but be furious.

"Miss Qiao must be afraid, so she doesn't dare to come." Madam He sneered, the disdain in her eyes about to overflow. Then, she said fiercely, "She's clearly jealous of our Wenxian, so—"

When the reporters heard this, they hurriedly asked, "Madam He, quickly tell us what's going on."

He Weinian narrowed his eyes. He Wenxian immediately pulled Madam He back and smiled at the reporters in embarrassment. "I'm sorry, my mother is just a little angry. Please don't mind her."

He Wenxian's eyes were filled with disappointment. "I thought that this event would go very smoothly, but I didn't expect Xi Xi to appear and ruin things. Although I don't understand why she did this, my mother loves me very much and can't bear to see me suffer, so she said those words. She didn't mean anything else."

Everyone could understand Madam He very well. Seeing her daughter being bullied and accused of 'stealing someone else's identity', Madam He stood up for her daughter. Although she was behaving a little differently from her gentle and kind appearance in the past, it was reasonable.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were normal, He Weinian's expression softened a little.

"Qiao Xi was so arrogant yesterday, so why doesn't she dare to show her face today?"

"It's because she's afraid. In front of the real Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor, her restoration technique is just a small trick. She probably doesn't want to lose her reputation in public, so after thinking about it carefully, she decided not to come."

Hearing everyone's discussion, He Wenxian could not help but smile.

After the commotion Qiao Xi caused, everyone's hearts ached for her even more. Moreover, she could use this opportunity to obtain the attention of everyone in the cultural relic restoration world, including the mysterious Mr. Twilight. This was a good thing for her.

Qiao Xi was probably injured now and would probably not come.

He Wenxian's eyes flashed with resentment. She did not know how serious Qiao Xi's injuries were, but it did not matter even if she lost an arm or a leg. As long as she was still breathing, she would still be useful.

Not long after, He Wenxian's friend, Xu Yuxin, also rushed over. When she heard that Qiao Xi did not dare to appear for a long time, she could not help but laugh loudly.

Xu Yuxin had never seen Qiao Xi before, but she knew that Qiao Xi had snatched away the position of Mrs. Gu. That position originally belonged to He Wenxian, so she hated Qiao Xi from the bottom of her heart. She felt that Qiao Xi was a mistress who interfered in someone else's relationship.

The reason why He Wenxian wanted to be friends with Xu Yuxin was that this woman was simple-minded and rude. She wanted to use Xu Yuxin's stupidity to make herself seem kind and gentle.

Xu Yuxin laughed without caring about her image. "Haha! Who does she think she is? How dare she compare herself to you? She must know that you're the real Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor, so she doesn't dare to come! I'm dying of laughter!"

He Wenxian frowned slightly and was a little helpless. "It doesn't matter what she does to me, but everyone came to the event to promote the culture of cultural relic restoration. Because she's late, everyone has been delayed for so long. I really don't know what to do."

The moment that was said, the suppressed anger in everyone's hearts surged.

Expert Yu, who had a higher status at the scene, stood up and said loudly, "Old Master Wu will be here later. We can't let him wait with us. I'll call Miss Qiao first and ask if she's coming."

Just as Expert Yu picked up the phone and was about to dial the number, his phone rang first. When the call connected, a cold voice came from the other end. "I'm sorry, Expert Yu. I got into a car accident, so I'm late."

Expert Yu was stunned at first. He suddenly recalled that someone on the internet had guessed yesterday that Qiao Xi would use the excuse of getting into a car accident to refuse to attend the competition.

Unexpectedly, she…

"Expert Yu, please tell everyone that I was in a car accident."

"Um… I don't think anyone will believe me." Expert Yu sounded very troubled.

Actually, Expert Yu also had some doubts in his heart. How could it be such a coincidence? That was until he heard a low and domineering male voice on the other end of the phone. "Miss Qiao and I got into a car accident together."

Expert Yu's eyes widened instantly, and his body suddenly tensed up. He asked anxiously, "Mr. Twilight, how are you doing?"

The man's voice was still low and cold. "Not too good."
