BXBX NOVEL Chapter 87 - Supporting Him
Chapter 87: Supporting Him
“The pharmaceutical company under Qu Group has reserved a position for Qu Zhen in the research and development department.”
Qu Xiao stared at Jiang Yuan and reminded her in an unfriendly tone, “As for the store, no one forced her to move out. She moved out of her own accord. If you want to be a good friend to Qu Zhen, don’t find trouble with me!”
“I can sue you for such groundless slander!”
Jiang Yuan stood at the bottom of the steps and crossed her arms as if she had not heard Qu Xiao’s explanation.
She turned her head with an exaggerated expression and said to the girls who had come with her, “Do you know why Qu Xiao opened a Chinese medicine store?”
“Because her husband can’t move his legs. He has to sit in a wheelchair.”
“It sounds like even though she married into a wealthy family, life is hard for her and she has a lot of sufferings.”
Jiang Yuan’s words completely infuriated Qu Xiao. Her eyes were suffused with coldness as she slowly walked toward Jiang Yuan.
Qu Xiao could endure Jiang Yuan slandering her and her shop.
The Chinese medical store was a registered store and had complete identification forms. She could prove that her store was a registered store if need be.
However, Jiang Yuan just couldn’t be civil and had to bring up Shang Yan!
Shang Yan was the person Qu Xiao cared about the most in her heart. Under everyone’s gaze, she raised her hand and grabbed Jiang Yuan’s hair, pulling it down fiercely. “I dare you to repeat yourself! Who are you to mock him?”
Jiang Yuan bent her body sideways in pain. This was the first time she had been treated this way.
“What are you all standing there for? Get her!”
Jiang Yuan was so angry that she started cursing. Her surrounding friends and her family’s bodyguards instantly gathered around Qu Xiao.
Seeing that Qu Xiao could possibly be in danger, the boss picked up the phone to call the police.
The next second, the arrogant Jiang family’s bodyguards stopped whatever they were doing.
They looked at each other awkwardly and mumbled to themselves.
Meanwhile, Qu Xiao fell into a warm and familiar embrace. Her eyes were red as she looked at Shang Yan. She lowered her eyes and hurriedly said, “I’m sorry.”
Li brought highly-trained bodyguards to surround Qu Xiao and Shang Yan.
The surrounding crowd started to pick up their phones to take photos.
When Jiang Yuan saw Shang Yan, her eyes fluttered in panic. She raised her hand and awkwardly smoothed her messy hair. She forced a smile and stammered, “CEO Shang, what are you doing here?”
Shang Yan stared at Jiang Yuan coldly and opened his thin lips, “If you have so much time that you are free to come cause a ruckus at my wife’s shop, how about you help me pass a message to CEO Jiang? I’ve thought about the the proposal that he had presented to me earlier...”
“I’ve decided to reject the collaboration proposal with Jiang Group.”
“After all, looking at your attitude, the Jiang family probably doesn’t want to do business with a disabled person, right?”
Shang Yan’s refusal left no room for negotiation, and Jiang Yuan’s face instantly turned livid.
She hurriedly turned around and left. Li started to disperse the crowd around them and made sure that they deleted all their video recordings.
Qu Xiao and Shang Yan returned to the car. She recalled Jiang Yuan’s expression and knew that Jiang Yuan would definitely be punished by the Jiang family.
Shang Yan could see that she had something on her mind, so he gently put his hand over and patted the back of her hand. “Don’t worry.”
“Did I cause trouble for you?”
Qu Xiao’s eyes were watery. She bit her red lips and leaned on Shang Yan’s shoulder.
“I should have endured it. I shouldn’t have argued with Jiang Yuan.”
Shang Yan was stunned for a moment. He immediately understood that she was worried about his business deal.
He couldn’t help but laugh as he held Qu Xiao’s cheek and tasted her pouty red lips. Then, he said in a gentle tone, “I’m afraid that the truth is, Jiang Group isn’t qualified enough. I was going to reject it, but the relationship between our two families have been good, so I kept delaying it.”
“This time, I should be the one thanking you. You found a reason for me to successfully reject the cooperation proposal.”
“Jiang Yuan’s words and actions have already offended me. I don’t think CEO Jiang would dare to continue bugging me about the proposal.”
Shang Yan stroked the top of Qu Xiao’s head. He recalled seeing Jiang Yuan’s provocation in the car. A strange sweetness flowed through his heart as he said softly, “Moreover, you did this because of me. I’m very touched...”
Qu Xiao was surprised and wanted to raise her head to look at him, but Shang Yan deliberately pressed her head down.
“You’re my husband! If others bully you and gossip about you behind your back, of course I will fight for you!”
Qu Xiao rubbed her face against Shang Yan’s palm and mumbled uneasily, “You don’t have to be so polite. You’re the person I’m protecting!”
When Shang Yan heard her childish and overbearing declaration, he could not help but laugh out loud and nodded heavily.
