No wonder this person dares to be so arrogant...
He Zhiqing gritted her teeth and decided to reveal half-truths that it was obviously impossible for Qiao Xuan to not say anything.
She couldn't even bet on whether she would go to her cousin.
"I didn't want to hurt her. I wanted to trip her and fall into the water, but I didn't want to hurt her. I would jump down to save her."
Qiao Xuan opened her eyes wide and looked at her like an idiot, her eyes were full of writing: Do you think I will believe this kind of nonsense!
He Zhiqing was a little embarrassed.
Don't say this to Qiao Xuan, even if she herself is a bystander, she will feel inexplicably messed up when she hears it.
He Zhiqing took a deep breath and had to continue explaining.
"Mrs. Shao Wu knows that I am the cousin of the Xie family. My family is really...so I don't want to go back at all, but something happened a while ago. My aunt wanted to send me back. It's really, really uneasy and scared... It happened that you came to be a guest today, and I just thought that if the guest fell into the water and was rescued by me, but I contracted the cold and fell ill because of it, my aunt and grandmother would definitely be Won't bring me back again..."
"I-I really just got it on a whim. I admit that I want to take advantage of Miss Shao, but I have absolutely no intention of harming her. And there are many servants serving in the garden today. They fell into the water and shouted for help, and they will come soon. It can't happen."
"This matter is mine, isn't it, I shouldn't try to use Miss Shao because of my own personal affairs, I... I apologize to you, I'm sorry! Please also ask Mrs. Shao Wu a lot, seeing that Miss Shao did not have an accident. For the sake of me, let's reveal the matter, don't mention it to others... Can Mrs. Shao Wu promise me?"
Qiao Xuan's eyes sank slightly.
She didn't fully believe what He Zhiqing said, maybe some of it was true, but it was definitely not the whole truth.
If her family and Xie Jingrong had a normal relationship, Qiao Xuan might just turn a blind eye and do not know what to do.
Not at all.
He Zhiqing is very problematic.
Why did the old lady Xie want to send her back? Why did she have to stay at Xie's house? As soon as Qiao Xuan brought out Xie Jingrong's threat, her originally calm person couldn't hold back immediately. It was obvious that she cared about Xie Jingrong very much.
Is it—
Qiao Xuan's eyelids jumped. Could it be because she coveted Xie Jingrong, so the old lady of the Xie family wanted to send her back?
It's not impossible either.
How could a handsome young man like Xie Jingrong not be liked by his cousins?
Then, if He Zhiqing wanted to save Taotao from falling into the water and then pretend to be sick, it's unlikely that he would simply stay behind I'm afraid this is for Xie Jingrong.
Just imagine, she fell into the water to save the guests of the Xie family. Without her, the guests died in the Xie family, and she was also the sister of the new champion. What kind of trouble would this be for the Xie family? She is equivalent to saving the reputation of the Xie family and avoiding the big trouble of the Xie family. Isn't she worthy of marrying Xie Jingrong?
If she wants to marry Xie Jingrong because of this, can the Xie family refuse?
To refuse is to be ungrateful and callous.
Qiao Xuan didn't know if her guess was right or not, but even if it wasn't right, I'm afraid it wasn't too far behind.
Maybe, this is only one aspect, and Miss He has other auxiliary means!
Guessing this, Qiao Xuan felt that it was impossible not to tell Xie Jingrong.
If Xie Jingrong asked such a woman to do the trick, and she forced her to marry, it would be too miserable.
