2352 Twins
Qiao Weiyang did not expect him to suddenly get close and did not manage to avoid him. She was extremely angry. “Lin Heng, let go of me!”
Not only did Lin Heng not let go, but he also tightened his grip.
He had a premonition that as long as he let her go, he might never be able to touch her again.
In the car parked outside, Su Zhuoqian had been waiting for Qiao Weiyang.
Suddenly, he saw Lin Heng’s actions. He immediately got out of the car and walked over.
“Let go of her!” His cold voice was mixed with anger. His words were not loud, but they were oppressive.
Lin Heng was stunned for a moment and let go of Qiao Weiyang. He was so shocked by the man’s aura that he did not dare to speak for a moment.
Qiao Weiyang immediately ran toward Su Zhuoqian. At the same time, Qiao Jierou ran out of the living room, “Brother Heng!”
Su Zhuoqian caught Qiao Weiyang and said in a low voice, “Let’s go.”
Lin Heng looked in the direction where Su Zhuoqian and Qiao Weiyang left in astonishment. He couldn’t believe his eyes. The person who came just now was actually Su Zhuoqian?
He did not dare to judge the relations.h.i.+p between Su Zhuoqian and Qiao Weiyang, but he could clearly feel that their relations.h.i.+p was not ordinary.
Qiao Jierou ran over and said, “Brother Heng, why are you only back now? Who was that just now?”
The car sped away under Lin Heng’s gaze. Facing Qiao Jierou’s question, Lin Heng’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He comforted himself, saying that there couldn’t be any relations.h.i.+p between Su Zhuoqian and Qiao Weiyang. At most, he just came to pick her up at night.
“Weiyang’s bodyguard came to pick her up,” Lin Heng said. He seemed to believe it too.
“Then what did Mr. Huang say about tonight?” Qiao Jierou asked.
“He said that all the awards were evaluated by the judges…”
Qiao Jierou lowered her head in disappointment. Although she knew that it was impossible to change anything once the awards were given out, she still hoped to know that Qiao Weiyang had won the award through other means. In that case, she would find it easier to accept.
“There’s no way it could be CL…” Qiao Jierou speculated.
“Impossible!” Lin Heng immediately denied.
Qiao Jierou was frightened by his tone, and her eyes were filled with tears. “I was just saying. I didn’t mean to speculate like this.”
Seeing her tears, Lin Heng’s tone softened. “The film awards are fair and just. You didn’t win an award this time, but you still have a chance in the future. Don’t worry and wait for the next time.”
…
Qiao Weiyang followed Su Zhuoqian into the car. After the car drove out, Su Zhuoqian found a place to stop. He took her wrist and saw a faint layer of red.
In fact, Lin Heng didn’t use much strength. Qiao Weiyang was just caught off guard. She had naturally fair skin, so the mark left behind was more obvious.
“Does it hurt?” Su Zhuoqian brought her wrist to his lips.
“It doesn’t hurt.” Qiao Weiyang laughed softly. “Fortunately, you were there.”
Su Zhuoqian held her fingers gently. “If there’s nothing else next time, try not to go back.”
“Yes, I don’t want to step into the Qiao family’s residence either. It’s just that I can’t let go of my grandpa and brother sometimes.” Qiao Weiyang kept smiling when she mentioned her grandpa and brother.
Su Zhuoqian doted on her, but everyone in that family surrounded her like wolves, tigers, and leopards. It was just that she had no choice but to keep this kins.h.i.+p.
He reached out and pulled her into his arms. Qiao Weiyang was tall, but in his hands, she could be carried around easily.
Qiao Weiyang snuggled in his arms and said softly, “Grandpa also said that he wants to see you next time. We’ve been married for so long, but he hasn’t seen you.”
“Then I’ll pay him a visit next time.”
“Mm,” Qiao Weiyang replied softly. She was actually a little tired tonight, but with him around, all this tiredness didn’t seem to matter anymore.
Su Zhuoqian lifted her chin and kissed her gently on the lips. He held her face preciously. The sparks that had been extinguished in the dressing room were quickly ignited in this small s.p.a.ce, erupting with a lingering ambiguousness.
…
After Qiao Weiyang won the award, the marketing accounts that Qiao Jierou had bought to promote her win quickly deleted all their posts.
Qiao Jierou’s fans had already received the notice to celebrate for Qiao Jierou. Now that they saw the results, they were dumbfounded.
[Jierou was supposed to win the award!]
[Yeah, that’s right! What right does Qiao Weiyang have?]
There must be something going on behind the scenes. Qiao Jierou should have won the award.
However, they were quickly rebuked by the netizens and Qiao Weiyang’s fans.
Qiao Weiyang’s fans had never planned to compare themselves to Qiao Jierou’s fans, but if they were offended by others, they would not show mercy.
They immediately took out various comparative photos of Qiao Weiyang and Qiao Jierou. It was obvious at a glance whose acting skills were better. Even comparing their appearances, Qiao Jierou was completely stepped on when the two were in the same scene.
There were so many photos that Qiao Jierou got furious at the fans. She asked Jiang Lin to quickly contact those fans and tell them not to cause trouble again. She waited quietly for this wave of public opinion to pa.s.s.
As Qiao Weiyang’s photos from that night were publicized, CL became famous. This name entered everyone’s eyes.
The marketing arrangements that Celine had prepared beforehand were quickly executed. The flags.h.i.+p stores in the major cities also started cropping up one after the other.
This win-win situation ended perfectly.
Qiao Jierou was also being talked about, but it was because she didn’t win the award. Now, she was mocked by everyone, and her popularity had fallen to rock bottom.
Everyone who partic.i.p.ated in the award ceremony had their own gains even if they didn’t win an award. Only she was in an extremely bad state.
Fortunately, she had something else to rely on.
Old Madam Qiao said to her, “Acting can’t be your main job. You still have to focus on the fas.h.i.+on design award and Lin Heng. If there are no other problems, I think it’s time to put your engagement with Lin Heng on the agenda.”
“Grandma, I didn’t plan on getting engaged so soon.” Qiao Jierou looked shy, but deep down, she agreed with Grandma.
“Don’t say silly words like that. I heard that the last time you went to the compet.i.tion, you were taken advantage of by that woman called Roman. The matter is related to Qiao Weiyang, right?”
Upon hearing Old Madam Qiao mention this, Qiao Jierou said aggrievedly, “I don’t know what Sister was thinking either. She wanted to rekindle her relations.h.i.+p with Brother Heng and even drugged him… Later on, Roman took the initiative. I never mentioned this matter, but Sister is really…”
“Ridiculous!” Old Madam Qiao slammed the table. She had heard about this from other people and thought it was a rumor. She didn’t expect it to be true. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? How could you let Qiao Weiyang bully you to this extent?”
