Hug me, Master Qiao! - chapter 55

“It’s not your turn to say anything. Get lost!” Qiao Sinian scolded Fang Lan.

Of course, Fang Lan didn’t plan to listen to that. She was bullied by Ye Jiaqi. Couldn’t she say a line or two?!

“Brother-in-law, I’m not leaving. You must give me a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, someone might think that our family has no backup. And that anyone can bully us.”

“Did you not hear me?”

“Brother-in-law, you!”

Fang Lan was angry. Why did Qiao Sinian have this attitude?

But at this time, Qiao Sinian was like a quiet lion. Although he was not angry yet, his eyes exuded a coldness that was similar to ice.

However, no one dared to provoke Qiao Sinian. And she didn’t plan to either.

“Brother-in-law, I’ll leave. But I want you to discipline this wild girl. Otherwise, one day she will bully my sister, sooner or later.”

After saying that, Fang Lan angrily swung her hands to leave.

Her high heels clicked on the surface and soon, the sound disappeared.

As soon as Fang Lan left, Ye Jiaqi attempted to get out of Qiao Sinian’s grasp again.

This time, Qiao Sinian didn’t hold onto her. He just said, “Go and close the door.”

“Huh?” Ye Jiaqi suspiciously looked at Qiao Sinian.

However, she still obediently went to close the door.

As soon as the door closed, the waiting room fell into silence.

The sound insulation was good here. No sound could be heard from the outside.

Qiao Sinian walked towards the sofa and sat down. His legs were crossed and his face was stern and deep. His eagle-like eyes stared at Ye Jiaqi.

Ye Jiaqi stood in front of him. She had nowhere to run and felt embarrassed.

“Do you not know that broken shards are very dangerous?” Qiao Sinian asked whilst frowning.

This situation reminded her of when she was young.

When she was young, she was particularly naughty and mischievous. Occasionally, she would cause trouble. And every time she caused trouble, Qiao Sinian would sit down on the sofa and tell her off in a serious manner.

She was still afraid of a Qiao Sinian who was angry. Every time it happened, she felt uneasy.

At the start, she was scared that Qiao Sinian would scold her. Later, she was scared that Qiao Sinian would hit her.

However, Qiao Sinian never hit her.

He would tell her logical reasons but every single time, that logic went through one ear and out the other.

“I didn’t hurt her,” Ye Jiaqi attempted to justify herself.

“I asked if you knew that it was dangerous. If you hurt your hand, you would cry again!”

Ye Jiaqi blushed for a while. When he said that, it evoked memories from a long time ago…

When she was ten years old, she had learned how to climb a tree from a boy. However, she didn’t learn too well. She hadn’t climbed up far before falling to the ground.

Both her hands got scrapped on the concrete ground.

Beads of blood came out bit by bit and she burst into tears.

The boy was afraid of Qiao Sinian. As soon as the rest of the kids saw Ye Jiaqi, they were afraid that Qiao Sinian would scold them, so they had run off.

Ye Jiaqi cried on the ground alone.”No one wants Qiqi…”

“No one wants Qiqi… I have no parents to love me…”

“Waaaaa, no one wants me. Poor me…”

She cried for not long before a pair of slender hands lifted her from the ground.

“You crying is so ugly,” Qiao Sinian said in disdain.

Qiao Sinian slapped the desk, “I’m talking to you, do you hear me?”

Ye Jiaqi just got back from her trip to her memories. She lightly nodded and replied, “Yes, I understand.”

“Why did you argue with Fang Lan?”

“I wanted to enter the entertainment industry. She didn’t let me.” Ye Jiaqi casually lied.

How would he not know the reason why she argued with Fang Lan?

He was obviously protecting her.

“You want to enter the entertainment industry? Do you want to be a celebrity?”

“No, how can I become a celebrity?”

“At least you know yourself. Even if you play a small role, you would have a face of the masses,” Qiao Sinian said as he looked at her up and down.

Ye Jiaqi was angry. Was she that worthless in his eyes?!

Was she that ugly?
