Chapter 753

She could tell perfectly well that Qiao Muting was not joking.

Nor was he making a threat.

Just a moment ago, the servant told her via WeChat that Qiao Muting had brought many people with him, and each of them was carrying cameras or similar equipment on their shoulders.

She hadn't known what Qiao Muting was planning before, but now that she heard Qiao Muting's demand, her legs went weak with shock; he actually wanted her to experience the same things as Shu Xia!

It seemed Qiao Muting knew everything.

Perhaps he had already rescued Shu Xia.

Or even worse, perhaps Shu Xia had already been slept with by those people, which was why Qiao Muting was acting like a madman here, determined to make them pay the price.

She was able to guess these things in such a short time, and Qiao Guanqing realized it just as quickly.

His face turned deathly pale.

Qiao Muting turned and walked toward the door, making a phone call as he went, "Hand all the evidence over to the police; I want a press conference in one hour."

"What are you doing?! You're insane! Qiao Muting, you actually still want a woman who has been ruined by others? And you're even turning against me for her sake?" Qiao Guanqing shouted at the top of his lungs, questioning him in a fit of rage.

What a fine son he was!

Coming here to threaten him for the sake of some woman!

Forcing him to make a choice!

It was unbelievable!

Qiao Muting acted as if he hadn't heard Qiao Guanqing's questioning and added to the phone, "Do it immediately."

Hua Qian was terrified, forgetting her status as a noble lady and her elegance; her facial muscles twisted as she screamed, "No! Absolutely not! Husband, stop him quickly, otherwise we are finished."

After tonight, they would become a laughingstock as a couple.

They would never be able to stay in Jing City again.

She had worked hard for many years and had finally reached where she was today; it absolutely could not be destroyed in one fell swoop! She had thought Qiao Muting might find out everything, but with Qiao Guanqing there, she assumed Qiao Muting would at most be angry and it would affect their father-son relationship.

But she never imagined Qiao Muting would be this crazy.

He was simply a madman!

Qiao Guanqing called out to Qiao Muting with a livid face, "Stop!"

Then, he spoke with difficulty, as if someone were holding a gun to his head, "Let's talk."

Qiao Muting took a drag of his cigarette and exhaled a smoke ring, his silhouette cold and indifferent, allowing no room for negotiation, "Option one or two?"

"You're crazy! Neither one can be chosen; is it worth it for a Shu Xia? Your relationship with your father was clearly getting much better; if you hadn't insisted on being with Shu Xia and refused to divorce, how could today's events have happened? Today's matter had nothing to do with me; it is the result of your disrespect toward your father. Why should I be the one to pay the price? Are you still thinking about avenging your mother? Back then, your mother couldn't get over it herself; it had nothing to do with me!" Hua Qian was provoked, losing the composure of a noble lady, and angrily questioned him.

When she and Qiao Guanqing were together back then, it was Qiao Guanqing who took the initiative to keep her as a mistress, letting her climb higher and higher in the entertainment industry.

Some news reports back then said they played around, and they certainly did play around.

But that wasn't enough to make Qiao Muting's mother jump off a building.

As a daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, was her psychological endurance really that low? Among men in wealthy families, how many are faithful to one person? Besides her, Qiao Guanqing had always had various women by his side over the years; some had come to her with all sorts of photos and videos asking her to step down, and she could treat it as if nothing had happened, so why couldn't Qiao Muting's mother?

Therefore, she was not wrong.

Even now, after all these years, she had never felt that she was in the wrong.

Qiao Guanqing also said with a dark face, "Back then, your mother jumped off the building herself; I never thought of forcing her to die. Even if I wanted to divorce her, it was because her attitude was too rigid and made me lose face in front of others. Now that you've grown up, haven't you thought about the fact that your mother's death had nothing to do with me in the first place?"
