2121 Twins
“You don’t really want to support me. On the one hand, you want to sign me on because you see that I still have some commercial value. On the other hand, it’s all because of your selfishness, right?” Qiao Jierou continued to ask.
“Of course. Otherwise, why would I spend so much money?”
“Sister, I really didn’t do such a thing!” Qiao Jierou shouted in despair.
She never expected Guo Ping’an to expose these things.
What was wrong with him?
Seeing that things were out of control, Old Madam Qiao hurriedly said, “Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. I think President Guo must be drunk tonight to say these things. These things have nothing to do with the Qiao family and Jierou. My original intention was only to help Weiyang sign with a good company. Someone, bring President Guo out to sober up!”
With that, a few security officers came forward and dragged Guo Ping’an down without any explanation.
Qiao Weiyang had already achieved her goal. She retracted her gaze from Guo Ping’an and looked at Qiao Jierou pitifully. “Jierou, we’re sisters. Is this how you treat me? I’ve already given you what you wanted and even moved out of the house. Is there anything else you’re dissatisfied with? Must you push me into a fire pit?”
Wasn’t it just pretending to be pitiful? Did Qiao Jierou think only she knew how to do that?
All the guests looked at Qiao Weiyang sympathetically. They really did not expect Qiao Jierou to do such a thing.
Those who knew a little about the Qiao family knew that Qiao Weiyang and Qiao Jierou were not born by the same mother, but no matter what, Qiao Jierou could not treat Qiao Weiyang like this!
“I didn’t do it, Sister. I really didn’t do it. It wasn’t me… As you can see, President Guo was drunk…”
“But haven’t you always known that President Guo is a pervert who lusts over women?” Qiao Weiyang asked.
“I really didn’t know. I don’t know much about these things. I usually just focus on filming and don’t care about these things. I wasn’t the one who made the arrangements.” Qiao Jierou kept shirking the responsibility.
Seeing that Guo Ping’an had embarrassed the Qiao family, Old Madam Qiao regretted arranging such a company for Qiao Weiyang.
She said, “Weiyang, don’t blame Jierou. This was the joint decision of our family. We made the wrong decision because we didn’t know President Guo well. After this, we’ll definitely choose a new company for you to sign with.”
“Grandma, are you going to sell me off to another company?”
These words were so harsh that Old Madam Qiao’s expression changed. “Ridiculous. It was just a mistake, but you want to erase everything we’ve done for you?”
“Then what kind of good company do you plan to choose for me next time, Grandma?” Qiao Weiyang looked up. There were tears in her eyes, but they did not fall. Her gaze showed a hint of stubbornness, despair, and resistance.
Everyone empathized with Qiao Weiyang’s unwillingness. Only then did they realize that they were really wrong to think that Old Madam Qiao was a fair old woman.
“I…” Old Madam Qiao was actually rendered speechless by her gaze.
Qiao Weiyang sneered in her heart and said to everyone, “As everyone can see, I’ve always done my best for the Qiao family, but the Qiao family treats me like this. The Qiao family is really disappointing.”
“Weiyang, don’t be sad. Find a good company.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Today is the old woman’s 70th birthday, after all. Let bygones be bygones.”
Although everyone was persuading her on the surface, they were actually a little biased toward Qiao Weiyang.
Qiao Jierou’s and Old Madam Qiao’s expressions were ugly.
Qiao Weiyang said, “I came over today to celebrate Grandma’s birthday. I also wanted to tell the family that I’ve already signed a contract with a company, but I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing.”
“You’ve already signed a contract with a company? Which one is it?” everyone asked.
Qiao Jierou also looked at her in shock. She had actually signed with the company?
“It’s not a large company. It’s a personal studio that I established myself. All management and film matters are arranged by me and my colleagues in my own studio.”
It was very common for artistes to establish studios, but most of them still had to rely on a main company. It was very rare for someone like Qiao Weiyang to be completely independent.
However, because everyone had witnessed her almost being tricked by the Qiao family just now, they still gave her their blessings. “That’s great. I wish you success in your future development.”
“Thank you, everyone. Thank you for coming to celebrate Grandma’s birthday today and speaking up for me so that I didn’t enter the fire pit.”
With that, Qiao Weiyang got off the stage and left without looking at the Qiao family again.
Old Master Qiao frowned and watched her leave. Thinking that he was the one who got someone to invite Qiao Weiyang back, he didn’t chase after her.
On the other hand, Qiao Dongliang followed her.
Old Madam Qiao couldn’t give a speech for her birthday banquet anymore, so she could only invite everyone to take their seats at their table. She turned around and returned to the room she booked in the hotel.
Qiao Jierou followed.
She closed the door and turned to face Old Madam Qiao. In the next second, a slap landed on her face.
Qiao Jierou covered her face and lowered her head.
“Tell me, what did you do? Did you really reach an agreement with Guo Ping’an just to get him to sign a contract with your sister?” Old Madam Qiao was furious.
Although she didn’t like Qiao Weiyang either, this concerned the Qiao family’s reputation. No matter what, she couldn’t let things become so ugly.
“Grandma, I really didn’t do that. I don’t know if President Guo was drunk or if he said those words because he was bribed by Sister. How could I have done such a thing?”
Old Madam Qiao thought for a moment and felt that Qiao Jierou was still very obedient. She was usually obedient and was well protected by the family. It was indeed unlikely for her to do such a thing.
She restrained her anger and said, “Things have already come to this. It’s useless for you to say anything else. I’ll get someone to send Guo Ping’an away. Don’t worry about these things in the future.”
“Got it, Grandma. Please calm down.”
Qiao Jierou came out of Old Madam Qiao’s room and touched her burning cheek. She was furious.
As soon as she went out, her heart skipped a beat when she saw Old Master Qiao standing in front of her.
It was easy to fool Old Madam Qiao, but Old Master Qiao was not easy to deal with.
“Grandpa.” She stood still obediently.
“What’s going on?” Old Master Qiao asked sternly.
“Grandpa, I really don’t know… Everyone says that President Guo was drunk and spouted nonsense. Maybe he’s used to doing such things and mixed up the details, which is how he ended up blaming me.”
Old Master Qiao didn’t say anything, his gaze cloudy and sharp.
It was uncertain if he believed her or not.
