The heated discussion was overwhelming.
However, at the same time, the popularity also decreased very quickly. The entries were trending for less than an hour before they quickly decreased. After reading this heated discussion, Li Xiwu gestured to the driver in front of her.
“Turn down the volume of the morning broadcast.”
The driver agreed and immediately turned down the volume.
Li Xiwu found Qiao Qiao’s phone number and dialed it. After waiting for the other party to pick up, Li Xiwu cut straight to the chase and said, “Do you know that the show will be taken down and modified temporarily?”
Qiao Qiao stammered, “No, I don’t know. Is it really taken down? Then it’s a good thing that this show is taken down!”
Li Xiwu pursed her lips and smiled faintly. “Aren’t you going to explain?
Qiao Qiao stammered, “Explain,.. what?”
Li Xiwu asked, “You reported it, didn’t you?
Qiao Qiao smiled bitterly. “Bae, did you guess that it was me just by looking at the trending searches? Didn’t you guess that it was your husband? What if it was your husband who did it?”
To be honest, Li Xiwu had guessed that too. When she saw that the show had been reported, her first reaction was to think of Pei Jingzhou. Originally, she had mobilized the Triads today to avenge her, so reporting this show to the public was something Pei Jingzhou could do.
But he thought about it carefully. With Pei Jingzhou’s attitude recently, he should have mentioned it to her to let her know instead of seeing this trending topic for no reason. Then, she would call him and ask him again before explaining slowly.
If Pei Jingzhou was excluded, who else could successfully take down this blind date show at this juncture?
It should only be Qiao Qiao.
Because Qiao Qiao had Qiao Jingmo by her side now.
Qiao Qiao said in a muffled voice, “Bae, why are you always so good at deduction?”
Li Xiwu smiled brightly. “That’s not a deduction. It’s telepathy.”
Qiao Qiao was happy to hear this. “We’re really telepathic. Alright, I did this wicked thing.”
Li Xiwu said, “Huh?”
Qiao Qiao said, ‘I Pick up my bowl and eat. Put it down and curse my mother.” Li Xiwu:
Needless to say, that was an apt phrase. Previously, Qiao Qiao had been working as a shill for a long time and had earned some money from this show.
After earning money from the blind date show, she turned around and reported the blind date show. It was really appropriate to what Qiao Qiao had said just now: Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and curse her mother.
However, Qiao Qiao also found a good reason for herself. “You know, in the past, there were only two or three shills on this show. It was still very real. At that time, when I saw everyone resolve their marriage in full swing, I wanted to resolve it too. In the end, the organizers arranged more and more shills. Occasionally, they even arranged all kinds of romantic plots, but they were all fake. It wasn’t wrong to report them.”
Li Xiwu laughed. “That’s quite a self-comfort.”
Qiao Qiao said, “I felt guilty for a few seconds, but when I thought about it carefully, the burden in my heart suddenly lessened.”
Li Xiwu pursed her lips and took a deep breath “Thank you.”
“No, no, no.” Qiao Qiao was anxious. “Don’t thank me. It’s all my fault this time. If I hadn’t had a stroke, you wouldn’t have been stumped by this. President Pei must have wanted to cut me off.”
There was a pause.
Qiao Qiao continued, “But at that time, you and I both thought that we would be able to safely take part in the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law show. In the end, you became famous. I thought that no one would pay attention, but in the end, the entire Internet paid attention. It was completely unexpected.”
Li Xiwu lowered her eyes in silence. Because Qiao Qiao was right. No matter how much she had predicted and weighed it in her heart, she had not thought that she would receive much attention on the in-law variety show.
The call went on for a long time.
Because of Qiao Jingmo’s approach, Qiao Qiao was forced to end the call with Li
Xiwu. When she turned around, she looked dissatisfied. “Can’t we talk later? I’m on the phone with my baby!”
Qiao Jingmo didn’t look too good. Qiao Qiao thought that he was unhappy that she had shouted at him. Before Qiao Jingmo could speak, she retreated and put away her phone. “Don’t confiscate my phone this time. If you confiscate it again, you’d better leave an eye on guard tonight!”
Qiao Jingmo looked at Qiao Qiao, who was baring her fangs and brandishing her claws. “Pack your luggage and return to Xingzhou immediately.”
Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment, then reacted strongly. She had only taken a small step back just now, but now she immediately took a big step back and distanced herself from Qiao Jingmo. “Didn’t we agree on five days?! Why should it be early? I won’t! I firmly defend my human rights and won’t go back early!
Knock, knock, knock.
There was a knock on the door.
Qiao Jingmo looked up. “Come in.”
The bodyguard, Jing Cheng, led a middle-aged woman in and instructed, “Go pack Miss Qiao’s luggage.’
The middle-aged woman was an auntie the bodyguard had called from the hotel. She was in charge of helping the guests pack their luggage. She nodded and said, “Okay.” Then she turned and went inside.
Seeing this, Qiao Qiao shouted, “Don’t go in! Don’t touch my things. Stop!”
The middle-aged woman looked at the bodyguard, Jing Cheng, in a difficult position. “This…”
Qiao Jingmo said, “If we are delayed, I’ll complain as usual.”
When the middle-aged woman heard this, she did not dare to make things difficult for her anymore. She quickly went in to pack her luggage.
Qiao Qiao was furious. She was about to follow when Qiao Jingmo suddenly grabbed her wrist. Qiao Qiao struggled, but she couldn’t shake him off. Qiao Jingmo i s wrist was terrifyingly strong.
Qiao Qiao’s eyes were red with anxiety. “Can’t we go back on time? Why must we go early?”
Qiao Jingmo’s throat tightened, and his voice gradually lowered. “It’s your grandfather.”
Qiao Qiao snorted coldly. “He hasn’t looked for me for three years. Every time he looked for me, he wanted to see me so quickly. Could it be that he lost his memory in the past three years and doesn’t remember that he still has a granddaughter outside? Now that he remembers, he wants to bring me back quickly?”
These words were too cold. But there was nothing wrong with looking at it from Qiao Qiao’s point of view.
Because in the past three years, Old Master Qiao had indeed not sent anyone to look for her, nor had he mentioned picking her up. He had not even called her once, as if he had forgotten that he had a biological granddaughter outside.
On the other hand, when Mr. and Mrs. Qiao contacted Qiao Qiao, they had hoped that Qiao Qiao would return to Xingzhou several times. But they had never come to look for Qiao Qiao personally, let alone pick her up.
To be honest, Qiao Qiao had been resentful for the past three years.
Could this be the price for letting her grow up? Then what was the point of such kinship to her? No matter how close someone was, they were just becoming strangers bit by bit.
At this moment, she was still very determined to express her attitude. “I’m not going back now. Anyway, five days, as much as possible.”
Qiao Jingmo sighed. “It’s too late. It might be too late.”
Qiao Qiao was stunned. Her dark eyes stared straight at Qiao Jingmo. “What do you mean?
Qiao Jingmo took her hand and walked out. “Go back and see Grandpa one last time. I hope… it’s not too late..”
