"So it's like that …" Hai Xiao Min understood.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first." Hai Lanyin faintly greeted him before she turned around and got into the car.
These few days, although Hai Lanyin's expression was normal, but intentionally or unintentionally she reduced her communication with her. Hai Xiaomi only thought that Qiao Tianqi had kissed her that day and left her with psychological trauma. She believed that it would fade with time.
After getting a firm repudiation of the relationship between her and Qiao Tianxiong, she decided to pass it on to her father. The two elders thought back and forth and truly couldn't understand the young people of today, so they didn't blindly worry about it. If they really can't do it, then it would be useless for them to do it themselves.
On the internet, the rumors about the Crown Prince Qiao stepping on the two Hai sisters hadn't gotten any better. Firstly, the video clip was too low, and the protagonist's face was blurry. People could only guess and push it.
On top of that, after Tang Xuan had seen the letter, he had intended to suppress it.
Other people might not be familiar with him and might not be able to accurately identify the person in the video, but Tang Xuan was easily able to determine their identity. His gaze moved back and forth between Qiao Tianqi's forceful kiss of Hai Xiaomin and Qiao Tianqi's passionate kiss of Hai Lan Yin.
Does she know about this?
Should he call and ask?
The crisis the Qiao Family was facing was still the same. There was not much threat created by the unfavorable rumors on the internet. Now, the first thing the Qiao Family had to do was stabilize the public's public opinion and restore their public image.
For this reason, the Qiao Family launched all public relations contingency plans, and Qiao Tianqi increased his participation in various activities to increase exposure and establish a good public image.
Qiao Tianqi arrived half an hour earlier than the due date for a commercial charity gala today. He took the VIP entrance to the elevator. Coincidentally, there were three or four people walking in front of him.
After entering the elevator, he pressed the button for the floor he wanted to go to and found that none of them had moved. He guessed that they were also guests at the party and wondered whether he should inform them in advance.
At this moment, he noticed that two of the four people seemed to be bodyguards, and the other two people were a blond foreigner, while the other one … Ling Yao!
Qiao Tianqi unconsciously took in a deep breath and immediately attracted the attention of the two bodyguards. The blond foreign man slanted his eyes and did his best to suppress the surging emotions in his heart. He maintained his poise and extended his hand towards the other party.
"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet the general manager of LY here."
Actually, he wanted to give it a punch even more. Whether it was in the mall or in private, the other party was an enemy, not a friend.
Ling Yao tilted his head slightly and looked at him: "Young Master Qiao, it's a pleasure to meet you."
As if he had seen through the other party's unwillingness, he could only politely nod his head. After greeting him, he no longer paid any attention to him, leaving the other party's hand stiffly raised in the air, the anger in his heart raging.
Humph! What's there to be proud of?
Qiao Tianqi ruthlessly lowered his hand and thought of the recent online posts that had been circulating. He wondered if the other party had seen it. He looked at the elevator door in front of him and suddenly sneered: "General Manager Ling's eyes don't seem to be too good."
"Hmm?" Ling Yao narrowed his eyes.
Qiao Tian Qi sneered and explained to him: "A woman like Hai Xiao Min, I don't know what you like about her. To be honest, just based on the taste alone, it's nothing much!"
So what if you're a woman in the light, haven't you been tasted by other men before?!
Sure enough, this sentence had an effect on Ling Shang.
He turned his head around and stared deeply at Qiao Tian Qi's face as he leisurely said: "Recently, there have been two popular words on the internet: slut, coquettish slut. Which do you like Young Master Qiao?"
"Pfft ~" In the narrow space, it was unknown who couldn't hold back his laughter. When he looked over, everyone was very serious.
To be able to hear these words from a Boss' mouth, it was truly an eye-opener!
Qiao Tianqi's face darkened. "What do you mean?"
Ling Yao squinted his eyes and replied calmly: "Nothing much, just that when I saw Young Master Qiao, I suddenly felt that these two words fit you quite well. To slander your own fiancee in front of outsiders, are you proud of yourself? "
Qiao Tianqi's five fingers unconsciously tightened and his facial muscles stiffened.
"Don't forget, that's your fiancee!" Ling Yao purposely emphasized on this point, reminding him of this point, before changing the topic, "If you meet this' familiar person 'like Young Master Qiao who is extremely pleased with himself, if it isn't despicable, then what can it be?"
A seemingly roundabout way of warning was sufficient to bring up some bad memories towards the person in question. This made the other party's intentions clear.
"You!" Qiao Tianqi took a step forward in anger, but was immediately blocked by two bodyguards.
"Sir, please calm down!" If the other side made any further moves, they would have to take action.
Out of the corner of his eye, Ling Yao did not continue to show kindness. Looking at the bright elevator door, he adjusted his tie and said indifferently: "I heard that Young Master Qiao recently needs to pay attention to his personal appearance."
Having said so, the elevator door opened and Ling Yao walked out. The other three followed him out, with some people already waiting outside to greet them.
Qiao Tianqi was left standing alone in the elevator with the reminder from the man's' goodwill 'resounding in his ears. When the elevator door closed, he suddenly threw a punch at the elevator wall. His handsome face was dark like a prelude to a sudden storm.
Finally, he stood up straight and took out a cell phone from his pocket without even looking at the swollen joints. The cell phone stopped recording and he could not help but sigh.
He was indeed worthy of the position of LY's General Manager. His anti-detection ability was strong, but he was still too cautious. Even though he had missed out on such a big opportunity, the other side still paid attention to his words and actions, not giving anyone the chance to find out.
Since he couldn't record the content he wanted, Qiao Tian Qi could only put away his phone helplessly. He skipped over the small incident and adjusted his mind to deal with the upcoming party.
The floor they were on was not the one he was going to.
After stepping out of the elevator, Ling Yao took advantage of the opening and tilted his head towards Zegna, telling him, "Go check on Qiao Qiao's recent movements and arrange the information for me."
"Understood, Boss!"
After the conversation was over, the documents that Zegna had prepared were passed to Ling Yao's phone.
Sitting in the car, Ling Yao silently scanned through the recent developments regarding Qiao Tian Qi. Seeing the place where he forcefully kissed Hai Xiaomin, his eyes focused, and after pausing for two seconds, he directly flipped over. He also saw the rumours about the love between Young Master Qiao and the Hai family sisters, and his lips curled up in ridicule.
No wonder Qiao Tian Qi was as pleased as a cat who stole something. What a boring fellow!
