After Going Viral on a Dating Show, I'm Pampered by All-Chapter 243: Sang Qiao: Are you playing a game of... cat and mouse?

Chapter 243: Chapter 243: Sang Qiao: Are you playing a game of... cat and mouse?

"Pfft." Sang Qiao looked at Ah He’s pitiful little expression and couldn’t help but let out a light laugh, "They’re scolding me, why do you look even more desperate than I do?"

"Ah~ their scolding hits you but pains my heart." Meng Jiahe clutched at his chest and flopped straight back onto the sofa.

He lay motionless on the sofa, looking as if he had been seriously wounded.

"It’s alright, the heat will die down in a few days. It’s not a scandal, can they really keep harping on it forever?"

Sang Qiao tapped her fingertips lightly on the tabletop, no matter what she said, those netizens who blamed her for being petty and not forgiving the Sang Family people would keep clinging to this issue.

"Although... I’m still so mad." Meng Jiahe sat up from the sofa again.

"Then let’s not look at it. What’s going on with you and Shangguan Yuan? The other day he asked me for your contact information."

Sang Qiao raised her eyelids, casually changing the subject.

Upon hearing the three words "Shangguan Yuan," Meng Jiahe bolted upright, "Qiao, you didn’t give it to him, did you?"

"No, that’s why I’m asking you." Sang Qiao’s eyes lifted slightly, sensing something out of the ordinary.

"Don’t ever give it to him!" The moment Meng Jiahe thought about the day at the hospital when she accidentally walked into the men’s bathroom and saw Shangguan Yuan, and then vomited all over him at midnight, she felt utterly despondent.

"Are you two playing a game of ’you chase, I run’?" Sang Qiao’s delicate eyebrows rose slightly, asking with interest.

This was the first time she had seen Ah He avoiding someone like this.

"You’ve learned this saying too, haha, but I really don’t have anything to do with him. It’s just that he helped me that day, and I repaid his kindness with ingratitude, so I paid him off and fled."

Meng Jiahe couldn’t help but remember the gloomy look on Shangguan Yuan’s face when she vomited on him late at night, and his words, "When your fever goes down, you are so dead!"

At that time, her head was so feverish, she was vaguely seeing her great-grandmother; she wasn’t scared at all and even kicked him, telling him not to bother her sleep.

The next day, when she was sober, she knew it was all over.

What made her even more despondent was that damn Shangguan Yuan was the leader of their company’s legal team at Rose Entertainment!

Recently, she had been sneaking around at work, scared to death of being caught.

"Protect your virtue," Sang Qiao threw her a helpless look, deciding not to meddle in their romantic saga.

"I really don’t have anything with him, he’s probably itching to kill me."

"Uh-huh, I believe you," Sang Qiao nodded noncommittally.

Meng Jiahe: "..."

After Sang Shen’s post, the bad press at Rose Entertainment did subside, and only a few continued to berate Sang Qiao, but Sang Shen lost a huge number of fans once again.

[Sang Emperor really disgusts me, I’ve been a fan for a full six years, back when you were dedicated to acting, professional and courteous. Look at you now, unprofessional, careless at auditions, do you really not care about your reputation anymore!]

[Unfollowed as well, Brother Sang Shen only has eyes for Sang Qiao now, no longer for his career or fans, very disappointing.]

[I’ve lost all good feelings towards Sang Emperor a long time ago, sickening, and also just average-looking.]

[Brother Shen, won’t you wake up? What are you thinking, please pull yourself together and focus on your career, can’t you?]

[To be honest, I really miss when Sang Jiao was Miss of the Sang Family, back then Brother Sang Shen was upright and hardworking, a crazy sister-adorer, and also very professional.]

"...No more words to say, unless the Sang Emperor stops being a lapdog begging for Sang Qiao’s forgiveness, I’ll never be his fan again, turning into a hater!"

Lu Jiao saw these comments and her heart went crazy with jealousy. Sang Shen had actually ruined his future just to speak up for Sang Qiao; he had never gone to this extent when he cared about her.

While she was lost in her wild thoughts, a brash and arrogant teenager threw an apple at her.

"Hey, go peel this apple for me!"

"Call the servant, I am your sister." Lu Jiao was caught off guard and was hit in the leg, her face contorted in pain.

Unfortunately, this little bastard with no blood relation to her was adopted by the Lu Family, and now everyone in the family doted on him.

"You are not my sister, Grandpa and Dad have both said that this family will be mine in the future!"

"You... don’t go too far! I am the one related to this family by blood!" Lu Jiao looked at the teenager in front of her, her heart crazed with loathing.

Madam Lu just happened to come down the stairs and overheard this part of the conversation, furrowing her brows.

"Jiaojiao, why argue with your brother? He’s younger than you, let him have his way."

"Mom, I don’t like this sister, she’s ugly and bullies me."

"My darling, be good. Mommy will deal with your sister later, I’ll peel the apple for you now, and after you eat it, go to school obediently, okay?" Madam Lu coaxed with a smile.

Although this adopted son had a bad temperament, he was highly intelligent and talented, both He Shi and Dad liked him very much, so of course, she would spoil him a bit.

The last time He Shi insisted on a divorce, she was truly frightened.

"Alright then."

Lu Jiaojiao could only helplessly watch their close mother-son relationship, while she herself was completely ignored.

She clenched her fists and walked out, her heart filled with extreme unwillingness. Why was her luck always just a little bit short?

She was the true Miss of the Lu Family, yet she could not compare to an outsider!

Right now, what Lu Jiao had plenty of was money, and yet she was not satisfied. She could have had the entire Lu Family, which was worth much more!

Lu Jiao found a shopping mall to stroll around, buying things in a fit of anger. While sitting down to rest, she noticed that Mr. Sang was looking at ties. He flipped over the price tag and then put it back.

Lu Jiao approached, picked up the tie that Mr. Sang had put down, and examined it.

"Dad... oh no, I should call you President Sang now, do you want this tie? I’ll give it to you, after all, we have a father-daughter history."

Sang Zheng looked at the person who suddenly appeared before him, still somewhat incredulous. How could Lu Jiao become so ugly after her transformation? But she was dressed glamorously now, without her previous scruffy appearance.

"Cashier, check out!" Lu Jiao didn’t mind Mr. Sang’s silence, reaching for her card generously.

"Of course." The cashier took the card to swipe it and wrapped up the tie neatly, handing it to her, "Miss Lu, here you go."

"Here, take it." Lu Jiao put her black card back in her purse and handed the tie to Sang Zheng.

Sang Zheng took it, still somewhat surprised, "Jiaojiao, I heard that you are now the Miss of the Lu Family, is that true?"

"Yes, but I still prefer the time I spent with the Sang Family. I truly loved being with you and the family. Betraying Mom... Mrs. Sang was something I was forced to do. I really want to make amends, but I’m afraid Mom won’t give me the chance now."

Lu Jiao said on purpose, her expression sad. She indeed had sought out Mrs. Sang but not to make amends; she just missed how well Mrs. Sang used to treat her, but unfortunately, Mrs. Sang did not want to have anything to do with her anymore.

Upon hearing these words, Sang Zheng was overjoyed, "She’s just still angry and that’s why she’s ignoring you. Give it some time, and it will be better. Jiaojiao, I really miss you as my daughter too, but... you know I don’t have a say in the household now."
