Chapter 1348 Bluff and Bluster

Had she accidentally missed out on her biggest support in this life?

Xu Shengnan’s expression darkened. “Junior Qiao, I understand that you like to keep a low-profile, but this is akin to giving people who are jealous of you a chance to badmouth you. All of you might know that the company that I work in clinched a big deal recently, but you may not know that the company that works with us belongs to Junior Qiao’s brother-in-law.”

To other people, they would not give the luxury products as gifts.

But to people in Qiao Nan’s social circle, it was just a small gift to them.

“...”

“...”

The crowd was shocked and they turned silent.

Qiao Nan might be close to Gao Yan, but they were simply friends. Gao Yan might earn a lot of money, but he would not share it with Qiao Nan.

However, if the boss of a big company was Qiao Nan’s brother-in-law, things would be different. Qiao Nan would stand to benefit if her brother-in-law’s company was doing well.

This might be the reason why Senior Gao was so nice to Qiao Nan.

It was no wonder that Senior Gao accepted Xu Shengnan as his employee since it was Qiao Nan who made the recommendation. He even provided funds for the new English club yearly. Perhaps, it was due to Qiao Nan that Senior Gao was able to work with the big company and make huge progress.

It turned out that instead of being the middleman who introduced the two companies to each other, Qiao Nan played a crucial role in their collaboration.

Xu Shengnan knew that one might misunderstand the complex relationship between the different parties, but she did not go on to explain. Even if her boss knew about it, he would not blame her. No matter what, it was indeed true that her boss had to depend on Qiao Nan to woo his wife.

Besides, what she said was mostly the truth!

Since Xu Shengnan had spoken up for Qiao Nan, it was easier for her to sort out the misunderstanding.

Right then, Qiao Nan felt a flash of light. It might be her illusion but the light seemed to be directed at her.

Qiao Nan knitted her eyebrows and she was reminded of something.

Previously, when Zhai Sheng was back, he mentioned something to her. Although he was in the army camp and she did not stay in contact with him, he was jealous that a student confessed his love to her. Her mother-in-law did not even know about it, but Zhai Sheng, who was in the army camp, found out about it. He also knew the details of how the student confessed his love to her. It was as if he was there on that day.

The only explanation was that someone took photos of what happened and passed the photos to Zhai Sheng.

“Senior Xu, can you do me a favor?” Qiao Nan had to take preventive measures against the flash of light among the crowd.

“What is it?” Xu Shengnan leaned toward Qiao Nan.

Qiao Nan whispered to Xu Shengnan and she nodded. “You must be Lü Yan. I feel that you should focus on your studies instead of being consumed with hatching plots and affecting the school’s reputation. I spent four years in Peking University. I have seen all types of people, but this is the first time I met someone like you. Let me warn you. Stop making trouble for Junior Qiao in the future. Junior Qiao, I will go back to the office. Let’s meet again another time.”

Everyone knew that Xu Shengnan was very busy.

Xu Shengnan also told them an important piece of news. It turned out that Qiao Nan was an influential figure as well. She was the type of boss who was hiding behind the scene. Since Xu Shengnan said that she was leaving, everyone spread out so that she could make her way out.

Qiao Nan got onto her bicycle after Xu Shengnan left and looked at Lü Yan. “Lü Yan, I don’t know why you kept making trouble for me. If you can give me a reasonable explanation today, I might help you when you face trouble in the future. Do you have anything to tell me?”

She had some doubts about Lü Yan. She had been keeping a low profile for two years, but she appeared right in front of her and made trouble again. She could not help but suspect her.

Although she was still in school and could not help Zhai Sheng, she did not wish to become his burden and a hindrance to him.

Lü Yan looked guilty. “I don’t understand what you are talking about. I simply find you an eyesore. I hate it that you act nice and kind. We are classmates. Even if there is any misunderstanding, you should not be overbearing and aggressive. You should know how I spent the past three years in school. Qiao Nan, don’t you feel guilty at the state that I am in right now?”

Since a young age, there was no one around her who would argue a point to death like Qiao Nan.

Although she insisted on staying in the school, no one was willing to talk to her, and she was not given a chance to participate in the activities organized by the school.

When she was in her junior high school and high school, she was a role model for the students. The teachers would choose her to participate in activities and she would have the support of her classmates. She was the brightest star in school.

Ever since she came to Peking University, she was no longer the brightest star. She became the smelly stone that was left in the drain. Nobody would ask her to join any activities and everyone avoided her.

All these were due to Qiao Nan. She had been targeting Qiao Nan, hoping to turn the tables and be stronger than Qiao Nan. There was nothing wrong with doing that. “Qiao Nan, given what you have done to me, it is justifiable that I do this to you! You owe me and you caused me to be in this state. Everything that I did was to prove that I did not lie when I was in my first year. I did not malign you. I am innocent while you are guilty!”

Qiao Nan felt like lashing out at Lü Yan. “Won’t I feel guilty? Since you dare to pose this question, no matter what I do in this life, with you around, I will never feel guilty.”

“Hahaha...”

Many people laughed as they understood what Qiao Nan was talking about.

Lü Yan turned red from being mocked by Qiao Nan. Her eyes were full of hatred and resentment. They seemed like poisonous ulcers that oozed pus. “Qiao Nan, don’t be too smug. I will wait to see your downfall!” She might not be able to do anything to Qiao Nan, but many people were more capable than Qiao Nan.

She could not do anything to Qiao Nan, but other people could help her make Qiao Nan suffer.

Qiao Nan would lead a life a hundred times worse than hers very soon! By then, she would be smiling whereas Qiao Nan cried in despair.
