Chapter 10
“I didn’t expect Nan Qiao to be such a person. In the past, I thought she was an upright person when I saw her beautiful face. What a waste of her good looks.”
“Tsk, who doesn’t know that you care only about appearance?” Qiuqiu sneered.
It’s because some boys don’t have brains. They fall in love with anyone who’s a little good-looking. They usually didn’t care about character at all.
The boy who was scolded could not say anything. He just scratched his head with an awkward expression.
Outside the door, Huo Yichen was just passing by Class Two. He did not expect to hear such a thing.
However, the expression on the boy’s face did not change at all, as if he had not heard anything.
He couldn’t help but think about how Nan Qiao had been helping out in the shop for the past two days. This didn’t seem to coincide with the story here.
When Huo Yichen went to the office to hand in his homework, he saw Nan Qiao arguing with her parents.
“You still have the cheek to say that you went to work. Who would want to hire you?” Nan Kang’s words were unpleasant and filled with disdain.
Seeing that Huo Yichen was here, Nan Qiao only narrowed her eyes. “If you don’t believe me, then forget it.”
Huo Yichen was very surprised. When Nan Qiao looked at him just now, he thought that Nan Qiao wanted him to testify for her, but she didn’t say anything in the end.
Huo Yichen’s handsome and arrogant eyes trembled slightly but were quickly concealed.
Since Nan Qiao didn’t say anything, he naturally wouldn’t mention it.
He turned around and left the office.
“I work in a coffee shop. I saved the five hundred yuan myself. You can investigate it yourself. I don’t believe that Mr. Nan can’t dig out this bit of information.”
Nan Qiao’s cold gaze met Nan Kang’s.
Nan Kang actually saw some mockery in it.
Since Nan Qiao had already dared him to investigate, it seemed like the person who took Nan Zhi’s money was really not Nan Qiao.
At this moment, everyone was very embarrassed because they all believed that it was Nan Qiao who did it.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Nan Zhi clenched her fists tightly.
What with Nan Qiao? Hadn’t she been bad with explaining herself in the past?
Nan Zhi said in a panic, “Looks like everyone misunderstood Sister. Sister, don’t be angry. I’m very happy that you can work part-time, but isn’t it embarrassing for you to work in a coffee shop?”
At first, Nan Kang was just feeling a little awkward because he realized that he had misunderstood his daughter. However, now that he heard Nan Zhi’s words, the anger in his heart seemed to have found a breakthrough.
“You actually went to an indecent place like the coffee shop to work. You’re simply embarrassing the entire family. If others find out that my daughter is working in a coffee shop, what will others think of me?”
When Nan Kang spoke, he was very fierce, like a vicious wolf that wished it could swallow Nan Qiao alive.
At this moment, He Qian also said gently, “Qiao, this is your mistake. You should quit your job. Although you’ve learnt to earn money yourself and I’m happy for you, it won’t look good on your father if others find out.”
Nan Qiao did not take He Qian seriously at all. Her cold eyes only looked at Nan Kang as she questioned him.
“What’s wrong with a coffee shop? What do you mean by indecent place? How is it shameful when I earn money with my own hands and feet? Mr. Nan, do you still remember that before you married my mother, you worked in the kitchen?”
Nan Kang was reminded of the past that he was most unwilling to mention, and Nan Qiao still had the intention to continue.
Nan Kang was furious. He raised his hand and slapped Nan Qiao’s face to stop her from continuing.
This slap was filled with 100% anger, and it almost made Nan Qiao lose her balance. Tears welled up in her eyes, and a trace of blood slowly flowed out of the corner of her mouth.
No one expected this slap to be so fierce.
The teachers were shocked.
Nan Zhi and He Qian were also shocked when they saw this, but then it made them feel good.
Well done!
It’s exactly because Nan Qiao had not been beaten for some time already that she’s like this.
The corners of Nan Qiao’s mouth twitched in pain. She reached out to touch it, and the scarlet color on her fingertips was especially eye-catching.
Her deep eyes were filled with an icy hatred.
“Is this how you call yourself a father?”
Nan Qiao did not care about him as a father at all, but the title of father was especially useful in front of everyone.
When the form teacher saw this scene, she could not hold it in anymore.
“Mr. Nan, you can’t hit a child like this. What if something happens to the child with this slap? She’s only in her rebellious stage. There’s no need to hit her so hard. We don’t advocate violence!”
Nan Kang snorted. “Her skin is thick. She’ll be fine even with two more slaps.”
Fortunately, Nan Kang did not continue his actions.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, the form teacher pushed Nan Qiao out of the door and gestured for her to leave the office.
If this continued, it would be terrible.
How could a father be so violent even if the child had made a mistake?
“Nan Qiao, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? If you do, you have to go to the infirmary in time.”
Nan Qiao nodded at the form teacher and left this troublesome place.
Nan Zhi raised her eyebrows and looked up. Even if she did not manage to pin the crime of stealing money on Nan Qiao, this slap was enough to make Nan Qiao hold a grudge for a long time.
The father and daughter pair were already at odds.
There were only the few brothers left.
When Nan Qiao returned to class, everyone saw her face and did not dare to say anything. They only choked on their saliva. What exactly happened in the office?
The news of Nan Qiao being beaten up quickly spread. Most people were naturally happy and said that she deserved it.
People like Nan Qiao were not worthy of being in the same school as them.
When she went to work in the afternoon, Huo Yichen was shocked to see a huge palm print on Nan Qiao’s face.
The girl’s skin was soft and tender to begin with. It was a little pink and smooth like a peeled egg.
However, there was a big palm print on one side of her face. The purplish-red palm print seemed to be stuck to the girl’s face. It was a shocking sight indeed.
The corner of her mouth was still a little swollen. It must be because she had bitten the corner of her lips when she was hit.
When he put down his things side by side with Nan Qiao in the storeroom, Huo Yichen’s throat moved as he asked.
“Why didn’t you let me testify for you?”
Nan Qiao was silent for a moment before she tried her best to smile, her gaze gentle. “Aren’t you most afraid of others troubling you?”
However, because one side of the mouth was already swollen and could not be raised at all, it looked a little comical.
Huo Yichen narrowed his dark eyes. She had seen through his personality in one go.
After changing into her work apron, Nan Qiao looked at Huo Yichen steadily and said, “Moreover, those who believe in you will always believe in you. Those who don’t believe in you will still have thousands of ways to slander you even if you clarify.”
The girl’s sincere deer eyes flickered with stars. “I won’t let down those who believe in me and won’t miss those who let me down.”
