Chapter 38: If You Lie, You Have to Swallow Needles
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Qiao Zhen was scolded while she was eating. Everyone in the company was waiting for a good show.
Qiao Zhen stopped eating and wiped her mouth carelessly. She looked at her phone.
She cursed in her heart, but her expression was still very calm.
“It’s just a photo. If walking out of a house is seduction, then aren’t you seducing your male colleagues in the same group every day?”
Qiao Yu was so angry that she didn’t even care about her image anymore.
“Don’t talk nonsense! The situation is different. Qiao Zhen, what happened when Mr. Gong came out of your house? You have to give me an explanation today! Otherwise, don’t even think about leaving!”
“Explanation? May I ask why you need me to give you an explanation? Who are you to care about Gong Jue’s private life? Are you the mistress of the Gong Family?”
Qiao Zhen pressed her step by step, digging a hole for her to jump into.
Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment and almost blurted out that she would one day become the mistress of the Gong family.
Fortunately, she had calmed down and did not dare to reveal her ambition.
“As Eric’s biological mother, I need to watch out for Eric’s possible stepmothers. Are you satisfied with this reason?”
“Watch out? Qiao Yu, I really can’t tell. Since you’re so concerned about Eric, I’ll ask. Do you know what he likes to eat?”
Qiao Zhen knew that Qiao Yu couldn’t answer, because Qiao Yu’s focus had never been on Eric, but on the position of the Gong family’s madam!
Qiao Yu was momentarily at a loss for words. She took a step back and began to spout nonsense. She didn’t believe that Qiao Zhen knew what she didn’t know.
“Eric is still a child. Of course he likes sweets, he likes cakes the most. What about it?”
Eric suddenly jumped out of the crowd and made a face at Qiao Yu.
“That’s not true! I don’t like eating those! You don’t even know what you’re talking about! Grandma said that if you lie, you have to swallow needles!”
“Auntie Zhen Zhen, don’t you agree?”
Eric ran to Qiao Zhen’s side, and the way he smiled instantly had a contrast.
Anyone with eyes could see that the young master didn’t like Qiao Yu, but rather liked Qiao Zhen very much.
The surrounding employees who were watching the show began to discuss among themselves.
“She doesn’t even know the taste of the young master. is she really his biological mother?”
“That’s right. A child is still innocent, the ones that treat him good are the ones he likes. It seems that Qiao Zhen is good for the young master. On the other hand, Qiao Yu really doesn’t know. I’ve never seen the young master get close to her.”
“You’re right. He’s usually in the company, why doesn’t the young master take the initiative to look for Qiao Yu?”
The employees below spoke more and more, and everyone began to suspect Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu’s expression was a little unsightly. She stood at the same spot, feeling a little helpless. She regretted rushing over to question Qiao Zhen rashly.
Qiao Zhen smiled lightly. “Qiao Yu, if you want to do this again, please do your best to save face. Otherwise, your lies will be like straw. When the wind blows, they will be broken.”
Qiao Yu clenched her fists, her anger tinged with a hint of threat.
“Qiao Zhen, don’t be so smug! You’ve done so many wicked things. Aren’t you afraid of retribution on your own daughter?”
Qiao Zhen’s face immediately turned cold. Nuonuo was her forbidden zone!
She narrowed her eyes. “Qiao Yu, you finally admit it? You were the one who wanted to kidnap Nuonuo, but ended up kidnapping Eric?”
Qiao Yu realized that she had said something wrong and immediately pretended to be dumb. Her voice became sharp.
“What did you say! I didn’t. I’ve said it before. Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t have any evidence!”
Eric also heard it. He immediately rushed up and tugged at Qiao Yu’s clothes angrily.
“You bad woman! So it was you! You wanted to kidnap Nuonuo!”
Qiao Yu screamed, “I didn’t!”
“Eric!”
Qiao Zhen stepped forward to stop him. Seeing that the situation had become chaotic, Qiao Zhen was afraid that Qiao Yu would hurt Eric if this continued, so she quickly carried him out of the office.
“Eric, calm down. You can’t mess with her like this. This is in the office. Leave this matter to me. Just listen to me.”
“Aunt Zhen Zhen! How can that bad woman do this!”
Eric gritted his teeth in anger. He really wanted to learn from Qiao Zhen and punch her!
“It’s okay. Be good.”
Qiao Zhen comforted Eric and secretly decided to give Qiao Yu a gift tonight.
On the other side, Gong Jue was in the office processing documents when his phone suddenly rang. He received a call from the public relations department.
The other end of the phone said, “Mr. Gong, do you need to deal with the scandal between you and Miss Qiao Zhen?”
Gong Jue tapped his fingers on the table as he stared at the news.
Surprisingly, he didn’t hate the rumors about him and Qiao Zhen at all.
“No need. Let it go. I’ll just take it as adding more heat to the Gong group.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Gong Jue looked at the photo and couldn’t help but smile. At the same time, he wanted to see Qiao Zhen’s attitude.
However, to his surprise, the Gong group’s official account quickly posted a clarification on Weibo, saying that the two had nothing to do with each other and that they were only together temporarily for the sake of their children.
