Qiao Chen's heart raced, and she felt as if her heart was coming up her throat. She wrung her fingers anxiously and couldn't catch herself before saying, "How could it be her?"
"Who?" Qiao Weimin grabbed her wrist like he was grabbing onto the final straw for his life.
"Dad, you're hurting me." Qiao Chen's wrist was about to break.
"Do you know something?" Qiao Weimin wanted nothing more than to save the company.
Shen Qiongzhi hurried her as well. "Chen Chen, do you know something? Hurry and tell Dad, he's losing it."
Qiao Chen told them about her encounter with Qiao Nian at the hotel, as well as what Qiao Nian said in a fit of anger.
She could feel her heart palpitating as she asked nervously, "Dad, could it be Qiao Nian?"
"Her?"
Qiao Weimin's first reaction was of disbelief too.
Who was Qiao Nian, anyway? Besides the fake rich girl who'd put up in their place. Even if she had found her biological father and he had a decent job, Qiao Nian couldn't possibly have the power to put their company in this precarious situation with a single word.
But the image of Qiao Nian at Cheng Feng Corporation that day came to mind.
He returned to his room and sat on his bed with a confusion of feelings in his heart. He got his cell phone and thought for a long time before flipping through his cell phone contacts and finding "Qiao Nian" in the list.
He dialed a call.
There was a single, extended tone.
Then, a cold and mechanical female voice sounded: "Sorry, the number you've dialed has rejected the call."
Qiao Weimin's face went pale. That was when he recalled that Qiao Nian had already blacklisted his number after what had happened at the police station!
The call couldn't get through at all!
On the other end, Qiao Nian returned to her room after she had tucked the little one into bed.
She was just done showering.
Her hair was still damp.
The cell phone on her desk lit up.
She draped the towel around her neck and went over to take a look at it.
