Strike Back, Proud Goddess! Chapter 193 - Go To H*ll!

Qiao Liang looked at Little Five, whose heart sank. He thought to himself, “Oh, no!” It seemed that he had stepped on a mine again! Why didn’t he just mind his own business? Little Five, mind your tongue! But just as Little Five was prepared to be scolded by the gloomy-looking Qiao Liang, the latter suddenly said, “When did you and Miss Xiao become so close that you don’t mind taking such a big risk to uphold justice for her?”

Qiao Liang’s cold voice caused Little Five’s heart to tremble. What should he do? He seemed to have said something very wrong! Oh, how he wanted to slap himself! However, as he couldn’t stop now, he bit the bullet and replied, “I’m not that close with Miss Xiao, but when you couldn’t fall asleep, Miss Xiao tried so hard to coax you to sleep. In order to make you sleep well, she didn’t even care about her own physical condition. She did all that just to allow you to rest well, but you—what have you done? You seem to be very possessive about Miss Xiao, yet you still secretly kept photos of Miss Tang. Now you’ve sent Miss Tang’s finger back to Grandpa Tang. You cared about his health so much, insisted giving him a physical examination and stayed in Miss Tang’s office for nearly two hours… It’s alright if you just did these things, but what else did you do? You asked me to send Grandpa Tang’s medical examination report to Miss Xiao! How can you be so selfish?”

To his surprise, Qiao Liang wasn’t angry. He raised his eyebrows at Little Five and said, “I don’t think I’m selfish.”

Little Five looked at Qiao Liang in surprise and asked, “You don’t think you’re selfish? You selfishly think of Miss Xiao as Miss Tang, but isn’t it unfair to Miss Xiao?”

“There is nothing unfair. Miss Xiao is happy with that,” Qiao Liang replied, closing his eyes to rest. Then he suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Little Five and said seriously, “Don’t show up in front of Miss Xiao again! Understand?”

Surprised to hear that, Little Five gaped at Qiao Liang. “What, Young Master?”

“You seem to be intimate with my girlfriend, trying so hard to defend her. Do you think I’m a fool?” Qiao Liang narrowed his eyes at Little Five before turning his head away to continue sleeping. But then, he suddenly said something almost shocking to Little Five and even Little Six. “You’re so nice to my girlfriend. I’m jealous.”

Little Five looked dumbfounded.

What was going on here?

…

In City A, Qin Xinying was sitting in her office and looking at her computer with gla.s.sy-eyes, appearing obviously distracted. She had been uneasy ever since she had spoken with that woman on the phone yesterday evening. She didn’t know what Qiao Liang was thinking at all. Had Qiao Liang really forgotten Tang Xi? Had he already fallen in love with that woman named Xiao Rou? If Qiao Liang was really in love with that woman, then what she should say if he came to question her after that woman told him what she said last night…?

Qiao Liang would definitely check the phone records… What if that woman met Qiao Liang today? Yes, Qiao Liang…

Qin Xinying suddenly stood up from her chair and walked outside, comforting herself along the way. “No, Qiao Liang likes Tang Xi so much. He only stayed with that woman for fun and can’t be serious about her. He won’t believe the woman. If Qiao Liang really cared about that woman, she would have complained to Qiao Liang last night and he would have come to question her now, but nothing had happened.”

Qin Xinying felt much better after comforting herself. She went to the secretariat of the president’s office and asked if Qiao Liang was around. The secretaries told her that the president hadn’t come back since he left yesterday. Qin Xinying thanked them absentmindedly and gradually clenched her fists…

He wasn’t back yet… Was he staying with that woman, Xiao Rou? Would he believe Xiao Rou’s words? If he did, then wouldn’t she have no chance to be together with him?

No, she couldn’t let that woman take the upper hand. She had to call Qiao Liang first and say that she had found traces of Tang Xi to test his reaction…

As she hurriedly took out her cellphone, she did not pay attention to the path ahead and b.u.mped into Xiao Jing, who had been walking towards her. Xiao Jing frowned at being b.u.mped by Qin Xinying and, without looking at her, angrily exclaimed, “Don’t you look where you’re going when you walk?”

Qin Xinying distractedly apologized and left in a hurry. Xiao Jing frowned, looked back, shook his head and walked forward, only to feel that he had stepped on something. He looked down and found that it was a USB flash disk. Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows and picked it up. When he looked up, Qin Xinying had gone. He walked over to the president’s office and asked a secretary, “Did someone ask to see President Qiao just now?”

The busy secretary of the president’s office looked up at Xiao Jing, greeted him and shook her head. “I didn’t pay much attention. Her hair was covering her face, so I didn’t recognize who she was. President Xiao, may I help you?”

Xiao Jing nodded and said, “Bring me President Qiao’s doc.u.ments and I’ll process them.”

The secretary, who had been feeling troubled by the great pile of files, immediately lit up with pleasure. “Okay, just a minute. We’ll send you the files.”

Xiao Jing took a look at the huge number of doc.u.ments on the secretaries’ desks and rubbed between his eyebrows, feeling a headache. “I’m supposed to be in the hospital, taking care of my sister right now!”

Dammit, Qiao Liang! Every time he disappeared, he left behind a ma.s.sive pile of work to him and made him work like a slave! What a jerk he was!

Xiao Jing returned to his office and grumpily threw the USB flash disk onto the desk, following which he leaned weakly on the office chair and sighed. “G.o.d!”

Just at this moment, someone knocked on the door of the office. Xiao Jing immediately sat upright and said solemnly, “Please come in.”

The door of the office was pushed open. It was a secretary of the president’s office, Linda, who pushed in a cart loaded with a pile of doc.u.ments and smiled at him carefully. She softly explained, “President Xiao, these are the doc.u.ments that should have been processed the day before yesterday, yesterday and today.”

Pointing at Linda’s cart with trembling fingers, it took Xiao Jing a long time to find his voice. “Are all these the doc.u.ments that Qiao Liang needs to process?”

Linda nodded. “Yes, President Xiao. President Qiao was out on Sat.u.r.day, and it seemed that he was busy yesterday. Last night, he rejected several doc.u.ments and asked us to return them. Now the engineering department has re-submitted the doc.u.ments. He’s not around today, so I’ve brought these files to you.”

Xiao Jing looked at the mountainous pile of doc.u.ments and nodded calmly to Linda. “Okay, I see. You can leave now.”

At the moment Linda left Xiao Jing’s office with a smile, Xiao Jing’s face immediately sank and he angrily looked at the pile of doc.u.ments, yelling, “Qiao Liang, go to h*ll!”
