The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 126: I Ask for No Reward When Saving Others
On the way back, a group of black-suited bodyguards suddenly rushed over and surrounded Qiao Qiqi. Her beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a cold aura. Who were these people?
Just as she was about to ask for clarification, the two bodyguards in front of her quickly parted to the sides, and a man in a finely tailored suit walked over. He was very tall, with an excellent physique and exceptionally good looks, but his expression was too cold, as if his face was covered in ice.
Qiao Qiqi was certain she didn’t know this person at all.
"Are you Miss Qiao Qiqi?" Rong Yuan’s sharp gaze fixed tightly on the beautiful girl before him. He hadn’t expected the one who saved his grandfather to be so stunningly beautiful, rarely seen, with a powerful aura that did not fall short of his own, despite her young age.
Was this really the girl from the information who grew up in a small town?
"Yes, I am. Who are you?" Qiao Qiqi knew the person in front of her was not simple. She didn’t remember having any interactions with such a person.
"My name is Rong Yuan. A few days ago, you saved my grandfather. I’ve come on his behalf to thank you." As Rong Yuan spoke, his assistant respectfully approached with a check and some expensive gifts.
Qiao Qiqi remembered the old man she had saved. Was that old man from the Rong Family?
"Rescuing someone was just a small effort. Even if it wasn’t your grandfather, I would have saved anyone! So there’s no need for gifts. I still have to attend class. Mr. Rong, please leave!" After speaking, Qiao Qiqi no longer looked at the man and prepared to leave.
However, the bodyguards still blocked her path, showing no intention of moving, clearly waiting for their master’s instructions.
Qiao Qiqi’s eyes narrowed unpleasantly. She let out a cold snort and turned to look at the man staring deeply at her, "Mr. Rong, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to force me to accept your things?"
At this moment, she was slightly impatient. Saving lives was instinctive; she didn’t need anyone’s gratitude and definitely wouldn’t accept gifts from those she saved!
This was her principle.
Rong Yuan remained silent, continuing to stare at her. His assistant immediately said, "Miss Qiao, we were ordered to come, so we ask you to please accept."
Qiao Qiqi suddenly curled her lips coldly, staring at the powerful man in front of her, "You said you were sent by order, which shows that your gratitude isn’t genuine. I save people without asking for anything in return. If your grandfather truly wants to thank me, then give me a sincere thank you—that would be the best reward! Now! Move aside!"
Qiao Qiqi unleashed her full aura. The bodyguards were so shocked that they took two steps back. No one expected such a stunning little girl to possess such a formidable presence, which intimidated others.
Rong Yuan was also very surprised.
"Miss Qiao, please don’t misunderstand. The gratitude is sincere. You saved my grandfather, which makes you a benefactor of the Rong Family." This time, Rong Yuan’s words carried a bit more sincerity.
Qiao Qiqi found it more agreeable to hear, but her expression remained cold, "Move aside!"
The bodyguards were sweating with cold sweat. They wanted to step aside, but without the master’s word, they didn’t dare to move.
Rong Yuan saw that the young lady was genuinely angry, so he waved for them to step aside, and Qiao Qiqi left without looking back.
"Mr. Rong, this..." The assistant was dumbfounded. In the past, they always thanked people like this, and the other party would accept the gifts with gratitude. Why didn’t it work with this young girl?
