âMiss, weâre in trouble.â
Hearing Jingchengs words, Qiao Qiao was shocked. âYou know them?â
Jingcheng turned around and glanced at Qiao Qiao. Although this glance didnât express anything, Qiao Qiao already understood what it meant.
The Bai familyâ¦
It was the Bai familyâs car!
Qiao Qiaoâs fear of the Bai family had almost been engraved into her bones in a short period of time, because the Bai family had been eyeing her covetously. Even though the agreed deadline had yet to arrive, the Bai family had already reminded her grandfather time and time again to keep their promise. And that agreed time was on Qiao Qiaoâs twenty-fourth birthday.
There were still two months until this day.
Screech!
The Bai familyâs car stopped three meters away from Qiao Qiao and Jingcheng. The car door opened and two tall men got out. These two men looked fierce and it was obvious that they were not good people. They should be thugs brought by the Bai family.
And the real Bai family was still in the car.
âM/hat, what, what should we doâ¦â Qiao Qiao was scared out of her wits and instinctively grabbed Jingchengâs arm for protection.
Jingcheng protected Qiao Qiao behind him. âIâve already sent Third Master an urgent message, Miss, donât be afraid. Letâs wait and see. The Bai family wonât snatch you in the street.â
These words were undoubtedly a calming shot for Qiao Qiao. As long as Shao Jingmo came, she would be fine.
The reason why she trusted Shao Jingmo so much and firmly believed that he would rush over to save her after knowing that she was stopped by the Bai family was because of what he had promised her today.
He had said that he would not change his mind easily. He had said that he would protect her well. He had said that he would at least ensure that she was safe and sound before taking down the Bai family.
Qiao Qiao felt much more at ease. âYouâre right. Nothing will happen. Little Uncle will be here soon.â
As soon as she finished speaking, the person in the car opposite got out. The man did not look young. He was about forty years old. He was wearing a white suit and a burgundy tie. He had a refined smile and a few thin creases at the corners of his eyes.
âQiao Qiao.â The man knew her and said her name directly.
Qiao Qiao looked at the smile on the manâs face and couldnât help but feel apprehensive. She asked boldly, âWho-who are you?â
The smile on Bai Qingnanâs face was even wider than before. He didnât stop walking towards Qiao Qiao. As he walked, he said, âMy surname is Bai.â
Even though she had already guessed that the other party was from the Bai family, Qiao Qiao still couldnât help but tremble when she heard him say that his surname was Bai. She held her breath. âSorry, I donât know any Bai family.â
As soon as she finished speaking, Jingcheng, who was blocking Qiao Qiao, scolded him sternly, âStand there!â
Bai Qingnan paused. Seeing this, the two thugs behind him pretended to go forward and teach Jingcheng a lesson. Bai Qingnan raised his hand. When the two thugs saw Bai Qingnanâs gesture, they stood on the spot and waited.
Bai Qingnan looked at Qiao Qiao with an invasive gaze. âYou donât know me?â As he spoke, Bai Qingnan seemed to have suddenly thought of something. His fingertips pressed against his eyebrows and he smiled. âItâs fine if you donât know me. Then Iâll remind you that our Bai family and the Qiao family have a deep relationship, especially a few years before you were born. My father and your grandfather, Qiao Huasheng, have been brothers for a long time,â
At this point, the smile on Bai Qingnanâs lips faded a little. âHave you heard of the bet between my father and your grandfather, Qiao Huasheng? If you havenât, how about I tell you now?â
Qiao Qiaoâs face was cold. âWhat brotherhood? What bet? I donât know and I donât want to know. Iâm not the head of the Qiao family now. If you want to understand these things, I suggest you go to the head of the Qiao family.â
Bai Qingnan chuckled. âDo you want me to look for Qiao Huasheng, or Shao Jingmo?â
Who in the outside world did not know that Old Master Qiao was terminally ill and Shao Jingmo had monopolized the entire Deep Blue Corporation? The news that the Qiao familyâs surname would change soon had long spread in the outside world. Some people also said that Old Master Qiao did not die because he wanted his granddaughter to inherit the Deep Blue Corporation and take back everything from Shao Jingmo.
There were already many versions of the rumors outside.
But no version was convincing.
Seeing that Qiao Qiao was silent, Bai Qingnanâs smile became even more wanton. âWhy donât we look for Shao Jingmo? Do you think an outsider like him will care about you?â
Qiao Qiaoâs breath caught. She didnât say anything because she was afraid of saying the wrong thing..
