56 Those Who Are Down Need Fear No Fall
Le Yao blinked. She seemed to have a vague impression of this. At that time, Han Binglan had just finished her dance class in the county city and met a very sorry-looking city girl on the way home. She had been a good person for once, but she did not expect to make a best friend out of it.
“Communication wasn’t so convenient at the time. I even got someone to look for you later, but I couldn’t find you. I didn’t expect you to transfer to my class in high school… but I didn’t expect you to forget me. I felt bad at first, but then I thought it didn’t matter. If you forgot, so be it. But we can be friends in the future…”
Le Yao nodded in understanding. “I see. Actually, it’s not my fault that I didn’t recognize you. At that time, you were covered in mud from the fall and your voice was hoarse. Later, when I saw you, you looked like a glamorous little fairy. Who would have thought that it would be such a coincidence?” She paused. “So, this is why you’ve always been… so good to me?”
“I thought at the time that this was fate. Such a kind girl shouldn’t be bullied.” Qiao Qiao reached out and pinched Le Yao’s face.
Le Yao smiled, but she sighed in her heart. What goes around comes around. These words were indeed true.
“So what are you going to do next? I don’t think your dad and stepmom are going to let this slide. They’ll probably come after you.” Qiao Qiao changed the subject.
“Then I’ll wait.” Le Yao spread her hands. “Those who are down need fear no fall. Besides… I don’t think they’ll have time to find me for a while.”
“Why?”
“Han Guosheng has always had a loving image. Zhou Yunmeng is even more considerate and kind. What about now? I’m afraid they’ll become laughing stocks, right? Then will those who work with Shengli Corporation be swayed? I think that when the market opens next week, the stock price will be affected.” Le Yao stroked her chin. “He should be busy repairing his relationship and restoring his image now.” If she had that hundred million in her hands, when Shengli Corporation’s stock price fell, she could buy it. Oh, what a pity.
“That makes sense.” Qiao Qiao smiled. “In that case, if I don’t kick him, I’ll feel sorry for him.” As she spoke, she picked up her cell phone and called Jiang Xiaoyu. “Second Cousin, there’s a chance to earn money…”
Imperial City.
A woman with exquisite makeup walked into a private room in an upscale hotel on high heels and plopped into a chair.
The man in the private room was stunned for a moment before frowning. “Madam He? Why are you here? I have an appointment with president Tian to discuss something. Please…”
“President Qiao.” He Rong flipped her wavy brownish-red hair behind her ear. “I asked Tian Ming to meet you.”
“Heh.” Qiao Feng couldn’t help but sneer when he heard that. He stood up and was about to leave.
“Do you believe that if you leave, I’ll send our photos to Jiang Lin?” He Rong’s red lips curled up slightly, looking determined.
“What are you going to do?” Qiao Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly and he stopped in his tracks.
“You’re asking the obvious.” He Rong walked up to Qiao Feng. “You know, when I was young, I took a liking to you. Unfortunately, you didn’t take a liking to me at that time. All you could see was that little Jiang… Sure, if you want to marry her, then marry her. I’m not asking for status. However, why are you always avoiding me? In what way am I inferior to her?”
