CEO's Ugly Flash-Marriage Wife Hides So Many Identities
Chapter 485 Double Standards

Chapter 485: Chapter 485 Double Standards

Qiao Rui listened to their conversation, frowning as well.

Yao Shengman seemed like a tough nut to crack. Previously, she didn’t have much fame in the circle, more of an eighteenth-tier celebrity. This time, she jumped out and caused quite a stir.

"Investigate the person behind Yao Shengman," Qiao Rui ordered.

"Yes." Huang Ying immediately went to make arrangements.

Gai Yin hung up the phone and looked at Qiao Rui, "President, the police are protecting Yao Shengman, and she also hired private bodyguards. Should we still follow her?"

"Follow!" Qiao Rui said in a deep voice, "They won’t be so detailed. Prevent any loopholes."

"Okay." Gai Yin asked again, "Do we still need to continue with our previous pace of revealing information?"

"Yes," Qiao Rui thought seriously and said, "Continue to release at the predetermined pace, and distribute more. The more we expose, the more people will step on Liang Jinqian."

"I understand, just like Yao Shengman."

"Yes, Yao Shengman did indeed appear suddenly, an unexpected delight. People bullied by Liang Jinqian are too many!" Qiao Rui said, "Follow the predetermined pace, others might follow the trend."

"Understood." Gai Yin nodded.

At this moment, the office phone rang, and Qiao Rui picked it up.

"President Qiao, the former president’s wife, Lin Hailan, is here. She insists on seeing you downstairs."

"Aunt?" Qiao Rui slightly frowned, "Did she come by herself?"

"Yes."

"Did she say anything?" Qiao Rui asked.

"She didn’t say. Just said if President Qiao doesn’t see her, she won’t leave and will cry downstairs."

"Ha!" Qiao Rui sneered. Cry?

Seems like there’s nothing else she can do.

Qiao Rui said, "Let her come up."

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Gai Yin immediately asked Qiao Rui, "What does Lin Hailan want with the madam?"

"It’s nothing but to seek benefits," Qiao Rui spoke clearly, "Don’t worry, I have my own uses for keeping her."

"Alright, then be careful, President Qiao." Gai Yin advised, going to open the door.

Soon, Lin Hailan arrived.

As soon as she entered, she saw Qiao Rui sitting in the seat her former husband used to sit in, and a sour feeling surged in her heart.

"Ha, Qiao Rui, well done!" Lin Hailan’s voice was sharp as she spoke. "Sitting in the Qiao Family’s president’s seat and making our Lin Family so miserable, are you satisfied?"

"Not quite satisfied," Qiao Rui looked at Lin Hailan indifferently, saying in a commanding tone, "Aunt, how can I be satisfied if you haven’t gone in yet?"

Lin Hailan was stunned by her words, her face turned ugly.

She seemed surprised that Qiao Rui would give her such a hard time right away; after all, she was an elder.

"You, you still want to get me involved?"

"Yes." Qiao Rui’s voice was cold, devoid of emotion, "If Aunt doesn’t go in, how can it be fair to your Lin Family?"

"You, good old Qiao Rui," Lin Hailan immediately started cursing, "I haven’t even gone after you, and you have the nerve to mess with me. You got the Lin Family’s money, and you still want to mess with me."

"Getting the money doesn’t conflict with messing with you," Qiao Rui half-squinted at her, "Aunt, aren’t you so eager to get involved?"

"Nonsense." Seeing Qiao Rui being so unkind, Lin Hailan realized she wouldn’t gain anything today. She initially thought that using her elder status would achieve her goal, but it seemed impossible. She didn’t fall for it.

Qiao Rui gave her enough time and didn’t urge her, just looked at her blandly.

Lin Hailan’s mind was a mess, but she eventually lowered her head.

"Qiao Rui, actually I came to see you, not to make things difficult for you." Lin Hailan changed her tone and began speaking. "I just want to ask you, with the Lin Family in this state, you should be satisfied. If you’ve got the money, can you let your uncle go?"

Qiao Rui’s expression was very calm. She smiled faintly and said, "Aunt, I like your attitude."

Lin Hailan’s face turned uglier, but she held back, speaking awkwardly, "I know your skills, but I’m still your elder, a daughter-in-law of the Qiao Family."

"Ha!" Qiao Rui softly sneered, "Aunt, you are indeed a good daughter-in-law of the Qiao Family."

The sarcasm in her words was cutting. After emptying the Qiao Family, this daughter-in-law still shamelessly claimed to be Qiao Family’s.

Lin Hailan blushed at Qiao Rui’s words and said, "I admit, I took care of my own family too much, but as you can see, the Lin Family got its retribution. Now, I’m a person who doesn’t belong anywhere; the Lin Family hates me, the Qiao Family hates me, and you look down on me."

Qiao Rui watched her performance without saying more.

Lin Hailan continued, "Our family is in ruins. Please, release your uncle. Since you got the money, there’s no need to push us to the brink, is there?"

"Aunt," Qiao Rui said again, "Actually, I never intended to get your uncle involved."

"Then didn’t you put him in? Look now, there’s no news, we don’t know what to do." Lin Hailan was now at a loss.

Her own family was unreliable; they were all in. Her husband was in too, and her daughter was worthless. What could she do in the future?

She just wanted to get her husband out, relying on being Qiao Family’s eldest son so that the two of them wouldn’t starve.

She wasn’t asking for much now, just wanting her husband out to be with her.

Therefore, she came to Qiao Rui.

"Indeed, we’ll never really know what to do," Qiao Rui said, "Aunt, I think you should know, your uncle went in because he did something illegal, not because I put him in. I don’t have that kind of power to let people come and go as they please."

"So, are you saying you won’t care about your uncle’s fate?"

"Uncle won’t die," Qiao Rui said, "Even though he planned to release alligators to kill me, since it didn’t cause serious harm, he won’t be executed."

"What do you mean, then?"

"I have no meaning," Qiao Rui said, "None of us has the right to interfere with the law, so just wait. Whatever he did, he’ll bear the consequences."

"Huh?" Lin Hailan’s eyes widened, stunned for a good while before realizing that her husband might really not come out. It’s not as simple as detention. "Are you saying we just wait for him to be prosecuted and not do anything?"

"You can hire a lawyer for him," Qiao Rui said, "That’s your right and your freedom."

"Can’t you find it in your heart to spare us?"

"I didn’t interfere, you did it yourselves," Qiao Rui said.

Lin Hailan’s eyes turned red instantly, "Qiao Rui, your uncle and your father are brothers; how can you bear to let your father’s brother be in jail like this?"

"Aunt, you are actually the root of all evil," Qiao Rui directly shifted the blame onto her, "Uncle dug out the Qiao Family for the Lin Family. Now you come to morally blackmail me, don’t you find yourself very hypocritical?"
