But Qiao Zhishu saw that the three members of the Chen family were also looking at her.
Mother Qiao stood up in a hurry and explained in a panic, "No, no, don't get me wrong. The Chen family only took us in because of their kindness. Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen are both good people."
The young man walked over from the round table and said nonchalantly: "Usually the more fierce the denial, the greater the possibility."
He walked directly to Xing Huo and laid his eyes on Mr. Chen.
"As soon as the Chen family established a relationship with the Xing family, my brother gave you a lot of benefits, right? The Xicheng District project was just handed over to you, but your daughter can't stand the loneliness and dares to cuckold him?"
Xing Huo looked over slightly, and when the man looked at it, he calmed down.
After all, Mr. Xing cannot afford to lose face.
"Brother, if that's the case, give me that project. I've been eyeing it for a long time."
Chen Ying's face turned green and white. She was now completely an abandoned child.
After hearing this, Mrs. Xing only thought it was ridiculous, "I don't agree."
Xing Huo never glanced at Qiao Zhishu from beginning to end. He walked to the main table and leaned forward gently, as if weighing the pros and cons.
Chen Ying became more and more panicked. Did Xing Huo want to accept this ridiculous proposal?
"Brother Huo, your bride can only be me. You even gave me an engagement ring. Do you believe me?"
The young man sneered coldly and looked at Chen Ying with contempt and disdain.
"Brother, I'm not just making up random ideas. Don't you think this is the best solution? If you suddenly cancel the engagement party, what will you do to stop the reporters? Then we will dig deeper.
Scandals are flying all over the place. That would be really exciting!"
Xing Huo raised his drooping eyes, and his gaze fell into the distance, fixed on Qiao Zhishu with his head buried.
"The matter has come to this, and this can be considered a solution."
These words also fell into Qiao Zhishu's ears.
She just thought it was too ridiculous. She had never heard of such a ridiculous thing!
Mrs. Chen's voice became sharp. "She has nothing to do with our family at all. It's impossible. My daughter is the young mistress of the Xing family..."
"Shut up!"
Mr. Chen suddenly interrupted her.
Mrs. Chen was startled, and her eyes slowly moved to his face, "Husband... you, what do you mean?"
Xing Huo knew that these two roads were before Mr. Chen, and he would choose the second one no matter what.
Canceling the engagement would do no good to him at all. Not only that, Chen Ying would also be stigmatized.
But if he is willing to trade Qiao Zhishu, not only will the Chen family's face not be lost, but his project will also not be lost. How great?
Qiao Zhishu clenched her hands tightly. In such an atmosphere, she couldn't resist.
She stood up and was about to leave. Seeing this, Qiao's mother hurriedly followed behind, "Qiao Qiao!"
Qiao Zhishu opened the door of the box and went out, but was stopped by Mr. Chen who followed closely.
"Qiaoqiao, don't leave yet."
Qiao Zhishu stopped. Mr. Chen had already walked in front of her. She refused without thinking. "I can't agree. I still want to go to school. I won't get engaged to anyone else."
Mr. Chen didn't want to see the fat meat in his hands being taken away.
"Just try to help Uncle Chen, okay?"
"No, I can't possibly involve myself in it for you."
When Mr. Chen saw this, he had no choice but to look at Mother Qiao next to him.
