Chapter 144: Chapter 72: I’ll give you 500,000 to leave that man

Ever since he first met Song Qiao in university, he had already investigated her identity. This was not out of caution towards Song Qiao, but rather because he felt the need to learn about the person he liked.

Afterward, he always wanted Song Qiao to reveal her true feelings to him. However, through the college years, whether it was because they didn’t push enough or something else, every time Song Qiao saw them, she would always appear very happy, or at the very least in a good mood. They had never seen her unhappy.

Even though they all knew that sometimes this young girl forced a smile not wanting them to worry, after all, Song Qiao had said that they were friends.

Then, when the time came for Song Qiao to do her internship, he suggested that she join his company.

The first reason, naturally, was because he liked Song Qiao. To be selfish, he hoped to be closer to Song Qiao.

And the second reason was completely because of the tenacity he saw in this young girl during their time in the university’s student council. She seemed to have the spirit of never admitting defeat, as if she would keep going at it until she hit the wall but still wouldn’t give up until she succeeded.

This made him see a reflection of himself when he first started his business in Song Qiao. If nurtured properly, Song Qiao would certainly become a very successful agent. He saw this as a win-win situation, which also questioned his rationale for recruiting Song Qiao.

Later, when he spoke to her about joining his company, Song Qiao hesitated at first and then declined. When he asked her why,

she had already straightforwardly disclosed to them that she was the Song Family’s young miss, and moreover, a young miss who was not favored by the Song Family.

This matter, he had actually asked Lin Musen about it—Song Qiao’s identity was indeed a bit awkward, but it did not really matter.

The person who initially spoke ill of Song Qiao finally felt an invisible pressure and slowly turned pale. After Shen Yi finished speaking, she stood up, sincerely apologized to Song Qiao, "I’m sorry, Song Qiao, I misunderstood you!"

Song Qiao looked up at the person, her face still showing her characteristic smile, quite faint, and with slightly pursed lips she lightly said, "It’s okay!"

...

After this incident, the number of people surrounding Li Xin began to dwindle, and from that day forward, quite a few people in the department started to initiate conversations with Song Qiao or invite Song Qiao to dine with them. Song Qiao didn’t refuse any of these invitations, after all, they were all colleagues.

Lu An’an couldn’t help but sigh that Song Qiao really was blessed by Lady Luck, even Shen Yi, the big boss, sided with Song Qiao. As for Li Xin, she absolutely seemed cursed, as numerous people in the department had begun to isolate her. But with thick skin, even if everyone shunned her, she continued to work just like before.

The date for her grandfather’s surgery was drawing closer, yet Song Qiao hadn’t even managed to collect half of the 500,000 needed.

Her mind was in chaos, and finally, when it was time off from work, she thought about heading directly to a well-known entertainment venue in An City, only to find as she walked out of the company, a very familiar sports car parked there.

"Little Qiao!" Linyuan stepped out of the car and blocked Song Qiao’s path, his eyes filled with a stubborn resolve as he cut straight to the chase, "I heard your grandfather needs 500,000 for surgery. I’ll give you 500,000 if you leave that man!"
