The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 469 - 467
On the other side, Kong Xiang and Zhou Tongtong were also having a great conversation, with their attitudes even more ambiguous.
"Are you really willing to leave Tianxiang Entertainment? Is your boss not treating you well?" Kong Xiang leaned closer and asked her.
He liked beautiful women, but he didn’t dare casually touch someone like Qiao Qiqi who had status and background. He preferred those without any background, small and transparent, whom he could play with freely.
"President Kong, you might have misunderstood, I have a grudge against Qiao Qiqi! How could she be good to me? She recruited me into the company just to torment me. President Kong, you wouldn’t want to back out, would you?" Zhou Tongtong looked at him with a face full of trepidation, deliberately putting on a pitiful look.
"Of course not! If that’s the case, don’t go to Tianxiang Entertainment tomorrow, come to Pineapple to find me." Kong Xiang’s heart was itching with excitement. He had been searching for a long time for prey, but none seemed satisfactory. This girl fit his target for seduction perfectly!
"Thank you, President Kong, I toast to you." Zhou Tongtong, seeing the man so enthusiastic, completely relaxed, scoffed inwardly. It seemed not all men were blinded and fond of Qiao Qiqi’s pretentious style; she too was well-received by men.
Such an excellent man like President Kong was no exception in succumbing to her charm.
Zhou Tongtong had no idea she had already become prey in Kong Xiang’s eyes, a fish on his chopping board, only to be at the mercy of others next.
Feeling she had secured a backer, Zhou Tongtong no longer considered Qiao Qiqi of any importance.
Suddenly a commotion arose in the banquet hall as someone forcibly barged in. The person obviously should have been driven away, yet no security guards moved to do so, instead seemed to be protecting the intruder.
"Qiqi, my daughter, I’ve finally found you!" A hoarse yet sharp female voice cut through, drawing everyone’s attention.
The attendees of the banquet were all either wealthy or prestigious, including numerous big celebrity artists. Seeing a disheveled middle-aged woman break in, everyone instinctively backed away, fearing to collide with her.
Chen Zhen, hearing the voice, was so startled he nearly jumped up. When he looked back, it was the long-unseen Zhou Xiao’e, causing his brows to furrow anxiously as he glanced at the young girl beside him.
Qiao Qiqi still wore a cold expression, her face appearing somewhat amused if not dismissive, seemingly unfazed by the intruder, perhaps even a hint of excitement in her eyes?
Lan Nuo also instinctively frowned, looking worriedly at the young girl beside him.
Those conversing with Qiao Qiqi quickly stepped aside upon seeing this; they were public figures and feared being implicated in any scandal, as the company and its shareholders would take it out on them.
"Qiqi, how could you be so heartless! Sending your mother to jail, even if I made mistakes, it was for your father’s illness! Now you’re a boss, treating your father’s illness wouldn’t even cost you the price of a bag, how can you be so heartless and watch him die!" Zhou Xiao’e sat on the ground, starting to cry.
As everyone stood dumbfounded, the reporters who’d been let in began frantically taking pictures. Meanwhile, a few people carried someone in, and Feng Xiaoling came in angrily questioning, "Qiao Qiqi, has your conscience been eaten by a dog! Now that you’re successful, do you not care for those who raised you anymore? If dad dies, you and I are not finished!"
Father Feng was laid on a stretcher, eyes closed tight, his face pale, his life or death unclear.
