After Going Viral on a Dating Show, I'm Pampered by All-Chapter 246: I’m Here, I’m Always Your Way Out

"Qiaoqiao never liked dealing with us," Sang Shen analyzed, unable to bear his eldest brother’s crazed behavior. "Ah He responded for her, so she never replied to you. In Qiaoqiao’s heart, we’re all the same. Do you understand, big brother?"

"I don’t understand, nor do I agree with what you’re saying," Sang Nanfeng retorted, hardly able to listen anymore. "You all have Qiaoqiao’s contact now, so you enjoy making these snide remarks."

"If big brother insists on thinking so poorly of us, there’s nothing I can do, but please refrain from manipulating like this next time. It’s unseemly for brothers to tear each other apart."

Sang Siyang abandoned his initial attempt to mediate, his face expressionless.

"What’s so unseemly about it? You call us brothers, but I’ve never seen you help me. Everyone selfishly wants Qiaoqiao’s forgiveness in their hearts. I bet you resent the time when she first came back and I suggested we ignore her and even told Qiaoqiao about it to absolve our own guilt!"

Nanfeng’s mind was filled with the image of Miss Sang Qiao’s indifferent words to him that day.

He had declared they should show Qiaoqiao a lesson by not picking her up from the airport or dealing with her, a plan only the four of them knew about.

The third brother was not a talker, so the one who must’ve informed Qiaoqiao was either the second or the fourth brother.

"We have never done anything like that. Even though you were the one who suggested it, we agreed to it, but we’d never reveal such things to Qiaoqiao. We’ve never thought ourselves blameless."

Sang Shen couldn’t believe that his big brother would go so far as to doubt them like this.

Sang Siyang’s expression darkened, his elder brother seeming like a different person. "The innocent are innocent, but big brother, if you must think this way of us, then so be it."

"Big brother, please think it over well. Don’t let jealousy blind you."

Leaving those words behind, Sang Shen walked away, certain that some things couldn’t be remedied merely by persuasion; the eldest brother needed to realize it on his own.

Sang Siyang followed closely.

Left alone, Sang Nanfeng could only laugh, "What integrity, what innocence. With only the four of us brothers in the know, how could those words have reached Sang Qiao’s ears otherwise?"

On the drive back, Meng Jiahe’s eyes were slightly red.

She forced a faint smile, her voice a bit hoarse, "Qiaoqiao, I’ve given up on Sang Qingran."

"Why?" Sang Qiao asked evenly, offering Meng Jiahe a vent as a good friend.

"That day, on my way back, it rained heavily. I fell in the rain and could barely see him. He stood by the bus stop taking shelter, looking at me with the same detachment and coldness."

"In that moment, I realized that my affection for him is a burden. Since my feelings distress him so, I’ll let go, for his sake and mine."

Meng Jiahe sniffled, still feeling terrible, her ideal type in her youth, Sang Qingran, was always out of reach.

He, a man of integrity, rescuing the dying and helping the injured, used the cruelest method without even checking if she was hurt. What more was there to understand?

Sang Qingran, in his silence, was telling her he had a heart of stone just for her.

"If loving him is exhausting, find someone else to love," Sang Qiao softly suggested.

"Okay, luckily I didn’t like him too much. It won’t take long to get over him, or I’d be much more distressed without someone to support me."

Meng Jiahe moved her lips slightly and wiped away a couple of tears from her cheeks.

Each setback made her feel miserable and wronged. Unlike Meng Wangge who had her family’s support, she only had herself.

"It’s okay, I’m here for you, always your way out." Sang Qiao handed Ah He two tissues to wipe her tears.

"Mm-hmm." Meng Jiahe managed a tearful smile, taking the tissues to wipe away her tears and blew her nose too; her eyes were red, but she indeed felt much better after crying.

"Do you want to take a few days off? Put the work aside for now."

"Okay, I need some time to clear my mind." Meng Jiahe nodded, truly in no mood to work.

"Shangguan Yuan has also taken leave recently," Sang Qiao mentioned casually.

"I’m not close to him, his taking leave has nothing to do with me," Meng Jiahe muttered. frёewebηovel.cѳm

"Visiting his home means nothing?" Sang Qiao’s red lips curved slightly, her eyes twinkling with mirth.

That comment suddenly jolted Meng Jiahe, could Qiaoqiao be misunderstanding that there was something between her and Shangguan Yuan? By all that is sacred, they were innocent.

"I went to his house because he had taken care of me in the hospital before; I even threw up on him, I told you about it. So I was just making up to him by taking care of him for a few days, that’s all! The hand-washing clothes was a prank too, actually, I sneaked them into the washing machine."

Meng Jiahe almost laughed recalling the last sentence; that suit was now beyond recognition.

But she really didn’t do it on purpose, she didn’t know the suit wasn’t washable.

Sang Qiao squinted her eyes, observing the smile on Ah He’s face, sensing an unusual affection.

Being stared at like that made Meng Jiahe uncomfortable. She quickly raised three fingers, "I swear, if there’s anything between Shangguan Yuan and me, then... hmm hmm hmm."

Meng Jiahe couldn’t finish her sentence as Sang Qiao covered her mouth with her hand.

"Don’t make oaths, I believe you are innocent."

Meng Jiahe pulled her hand away, freeing her mouth, "You almost suffocated me!"

Suddenly, the driver stopped the car and respectfully addressed the person in the back seat, "Miss Meng Jiahe, we have arrived at your villa."

"Alright, I’ll head back first." Meng Jiahe opened the car door and got out, while waving to Sang Qiao.

"Call me anytime if you need something." Sang Qiao watched Ah He leave.

"Okay!"

"Miss Sang Qiao, where to next?" the driver asked.

Sang Qiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Si Group."

"Yes." The driver started the car again and headed towards Si Group.

The car stopped at the building entrance; Sang Qiao got out, went inside, and the receptionist immediately smiled upon seeing her, "Miss Sang Qiao, welcome."

"Mm." Sang Qiao nodded and took the elevator up.

Upon reaching the floor where Si Chenli was, she saw his assistant standing at the door with a despairing expression.

"Is Si Chenli here?"

"He is, he is, Miss Sang Qiao, you can just push the door and go in. Mr. Si is discussing a plan with a partner in his office, but it’s not that important."

The assistant’s eyes lit up; Miss Sang Qiao was like a lucky star, he already sensed that there would be no need to work overtime tonight.

He had been doing overtime continuously for a week, and he was almost numb!

"I’ll wait." Hearing they were discussing cooperation, Sang Qiao did not just barge in, instead, she stood by and waited.
