2382 Twins
“Guys, it’s time to make room,” Qiao Weiyang reminded them when she saw Meng Yihao standing behind them.
Old Madam Qiao turned around and saw a young man standing behind her, looking at her meaningfully.
Unaware that this was Meng Yihao, Old Madam Qiao said coldly, “This is the pretty boy you’re keeping by your side? He’s not bad-looking! But you’re spending your money on such a pretty boy instead of your own family. You’ll regret it sooner or later!”
With that, Old Madam Qiao left with Qiao Jierou.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Meng.” Qiao Weiyang sighed. “I apologize to you on their behalf.”
“I heard that you’re no longer related to those two, so you don’t have to apologize to me for their rudeness.” Meng Yihao, who had been standing at the side, had heard a lot of things.
Moreover, although the Qiao family’s att.i.tude toward Qiao Weiyang was messed up by Qiao Jierou and her fans’ brainwas.h.i.+ng, the truly sensible people would understand the truth and not fall for the brainwas.h.i.+ng.
Meng Yihao also thought of himself as a wise person.
Qiao Weiyang smiled helplessly. “I’m still sorry. After all, it’s because of me that you were… I didn’t expect them to find me here.”
“I heard that they’re in debt and in a difficult situation.”
“Yes, they were here to ask for money. Sorry, let’s talk about work.”
Meng Yihao understood and did not ask further. Qiao Weiyang had handled the matter very well just now, so there was no need to worry.
“Alright, let’s go back to my agency and have a chat. I’ve already asked my a.s.sistant to prepare some detailed doc.u.ments. We’ll talk more after going through them.”
The two of them left together.
Old Madam Qiao and Qiao Jierou had yet to leave. Seeing the two of them leave together, Old Madam Qiao rolled her eyes.
Qiao Jierou said in a low voice, “Grandma, what should we do now? Sister won’t pay, and Grandpa won’t pay…”
She really didn’t want to part with the money. She just wanted to keep it to herself.
“If it really doesn’t work out, you should just pay up with your own money and resolve this matter.” Old Madam Qiao could tell that she was unwilling. “I know that this way, you won’t have much money. However, Jierou, you’re still young, qualified, and popular. As long as you change to a good management company, you can quickly earn it back. Don’t you think so?”
That made sense, but Qiao Jierou couldn’t accept losing so much money out of thin air.
She was in extreme pain, but she didn’t dare to refute Old Madam Qiao and cut off her last reliance.
Her smile was forced.
“Let’s go and look for Mr. Meng. Mr. Meng is very interested in you. I asked a friend to contact him, and he said that he would do his best to help,” Old Madam Qiao said.
Qiao Weiyang and Meng Yihao arrived at his company. They entered the office.
The a.s.sistant quickly delivered the doc.u.ments and coffee. Meng Yihao handed the doc.u.ments to Qiao Weiyang. “Miss Qiao, take a look first.”
The a.s.sistant reminded Meng Yihao softly, “President Meng, you have an appointment in ten minutes. You’re meeting an artiste who’s planning to jump s.h.i.+p.”
Meng Yihao remembered this matter. His friend had asked someone to come over. He asked, “What’s the artiste’s name again?”
“Qiao Jierou,” the a.s.sistant said.
Hearing this name, Qiao Weiyang looked up sharply.
Meng Yihao also thought of something. Wasn’t this Qiao Weiyang’s so-called sister?
They had just met.
Hence, Old Madam Qiao and Qiao Jierou were actually worse than he had imagined.
Meng Yihao revealed a mysterious smile. “Alright, bring her to my office later.”
“Then I’ll excuse myself for a while, Mr. Meng.”
“Don’t you want to see how I reject them?” Meng Yihao smiled and continued, “Miss Qiao, let me show my sincerity in working with you.”
Qiao Weiyang smiled and continued to read the information.
Old Madam Qiao finally arrived at the company with Qiao Jierou. She reported her appointment, and the lady at the front desk quickly informed Meng Yihao’s a.s.sistant. She then said to her with a very good att.i.tude, “Please wait a moment. President Meng’s a.s.sistant will come to pick you up soon.”
“Okay,” Old Madam Qiao said in a controlled tone.
Qiao Jierou saw that Old Madam Qiao came in unimpeded. Be it the lady at the front desk or the others, they were very respectful to the two of them. She gradually felt more confident.
If she could really jump s.h.i.+p here, her chances of rising again in the future would be very high… Although Qiao Weiyang was signed to Lu Mingjue, Lu Mingjue was only a top manager, after all. Meng Yihao owned an entire company!
At the thought of this, Qiao Jierou seemed to be able to see her bright future.
“Old Madam Qiao, Miss Qiao!” The a.s.sistant hurriedly came out of the elevator and walked up to the two of them. “Please follow me. President Meng is already waiting for you.”
Old Madam Qiao smiled and said, “Thank you for your hard work and trouble.”
“There’s no need for that. Please.”
The a.s.sistant politely led the two of them to the elevator. When they reached the top floor of the company, he knocked on Meng Yihao’s office door.
“Come in.”
Meng Yihao’s voice came from inside.
The a.s.sistant opened the door for them. “Please come in.”
Old Madam Qiao was the first to walk in, and Qiao Jierou followed.
In the imposing office, behind the huge desk sat an arrogant man.
In such an environment, even if Old Madam Qiao were to take advantage of her seniority, her aura couldn’t help but feel a little weak.
She quickly greeted the man. “h.e.l.lo, President Meng.”
“h.e.l.lo, Old Madam Qiao.” Meng Yihao looked up from the pile of doc.u.ments and smiled at Old Madam Qiao.
Old Madam Qiao’s and Qiao Jierou’s smiles froze on their faces.
This… Wasn’t this the man they had seen in the cafe just now? He was with Qiao Weiyang. Because he was very young and didn’t look threatening, Old Madam Qiao directly called him a pretty boy who was kept by Qiao Weiyang.
Meng Yihao maintained his usual amiable smile that he showed to all his guests, but in Old Madam Qiao’s eyes, this smile was filled with mockery.
Qiao Jierou was so embarra.s.sed that her toes curled up… She felt another gaze and immediately turned around.
Then, she saw Qiao Weiyang sitting on the sofa with doc.u.ments.
In an instant, Qiao Jierou felt extremely humiliated. She wished she could leave on the spot.
Old Madam Qiao also saw Qiao Weiyang. She was full of surprise. “Y-You…”
Meng Yihao smiled and said, “Old Madam Qiao, so we met just now. It turns out you’re Miss Qiao’s grandmother.”
His smile didn’t reach his eyes, and his scrutiny was very strong.
Old Madam Qiao couldn’t hold back her years of pride and was extremely embarra.s.sed. “President Meng…”
