As long as there was still room to turn things around, she could accept anything.

It was not so much that she still loved Lin Heng but that she did not want to lose to Qiao Weiyang at all.

She looked at him shyly. “Brother Heng…’

Lin Heng said coldly, “I’m guessing that you recorded everything that went down tonight, right?”

“I…” Qiao Jierou stammered.

Lin Heng reached for her chest and grabbed hard. He caught a mini-camera on the button of her shirt.

He smiled, but it was not genuine at all. “You slandered her for being with me, for slapping you, and for causing you to miscarry… You made sure to record everything. When the time came, you’d post it on the internet and let her be condemned by everyone. Qiao Jierou, you’re really ruthless!”

“That’s not true. 1—”

Qiao Jierou’s defense was so weak.

Lin Heng threw the mini-camera at her. “Since you’ve recorded everything, then keep it well! Everything will just come back to slap you in the face, anyway! Keep it for yourself to see how ugly you are!”

He threw away the item and turned to leave.

A vicious glint flashed across Qiao Jierou’s eyes. She grabbed the edge of the bed with both hands, but there was nothing she could do.

Mrs. Lin also walked in and slammed the chicken soup she had brought over on the table. She sighed and said, “Sigh, I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t be able to carry my grandson. I thought that I was about to become a grandmother. Tsk, tsk, tsk…’

Her tone was filled with sarcasm. Before Qiao Jierou could say anything, she turned around and left.

Qiao Jierou stared at their backs and bit her lip until she tasted blood.

On the day of Old Master Qiao’s funeral, it started to drizzle.

The rain was not heavy, and one could not even feel it when it fell on one’s body. However, it quickly covered the entire city with a misty haze.

The rain was not heavy, and one could not even feel it when it fell on one’s body. However, it quickly covered the entire city with a misty haze.

People in black entered the Qiao family’s courtyard.

Qiao Weiyang and Qiao Dongliang stood at the door and bowed deeply to thank everyone who came in.

Qiao Jierou did not appear. After making a fool of herself that day, her reputation had fallen to a low point.

Anyone who mentioned her could not help but shake their heads fiercely.

Initially, these people were biased toward her and had a good relationship with Huang Shumin.

However, these people could still distinguish right from wrong.

Old Madam Qiao’s face was as dark as the weather outside.

What Qiao Jierou did this time was extremely disappointing, but the fact that she did not have a great- grandchild made her feel even worse.

This feeling was indescribable, causing her to not speak for a few days.

“Old Madam, there’s… a VIP at the door,” the butler said hurriedly. “Who is it that’s making you so anxious?” Old Madam Qiao asked.

“Mayor Xu is here,” the butler said in a low voice.

“Hurry up and invite him in!” Old Madam Qiao immediately said.

Although the Qiao family had made some achievements in their business over the years, they had yet to get close to Mayor Xu.

Hearing him appear, Old Madam Qiao was surprised and delighted. However, she could not help but be puzzled. What sort of person could attract a person like Mayor Xu?

She and the butler personally welcomed him.

Mayor Xu was standing at the door. He was dressed in black and had a serious expression. When he saw Old Madam Qiao, he was the first to introduce himself, “Old Madam, I’m here to mourn Old Master Qiao.” “Okay, come in, come in. Thank you for coming.” Mayor Xu’s attitude made Old Madam Qiao feel flattered.

Mayor Xu followed her in.

Qiao Qijie and Huang Shumin also rushed over to welcome him.

The butler rushed over and said, “Old Madam, Mr. Lu is here.”

“Which Mr. LUI?”

“He’s the… steel tycoon in Jingdu City.”

Old Madam Qiao could not be bothered to be surprised anymore and immediately went to welcome the guest.

Mr. Lu was just like Mayor Xu. His attitude was sincere, making it difficult for Old Madam Qiao to doubt his intentions.

A moment later, a few principals, famous directors, Gu Tianling, Lu Wenhui, as well as Shen Mubei and his wife came.

Everyone came in black. When they arrived in front of Old Master Qiao’s casket, they sincerely paid their respects and offered incense.

Old Madam Qiao looked at the people in front of her and could not help but feel excited. She did not know when the old master had met these people. But no matter what, with these social connections, the Qiao family would not have to worry in the future.

Qiao Qijie and Huang Shumin came over to personally serve tea, looking a little humble.

When Old Madam Qiao saw this scene, she got someone to inform Qiao Jierou.

It seemed that other than Qiao Dongliang, Qiao Jierou had to take the initiative as well. Qiao Jierou had always been in this family.

As for Qiao Weiyang… She was not within the old madam’s consideration at all.

Qiao Jierou, who was ashamed to see anyone, immediately dressed up and went downstairs when she heard that such important guests were here.

Her makeup was exquisite, and her clothes were carefully chosen. Although they were black, there were many unique designs. They were ingenious and could not be compared to Qiao Weiyang’s old-fashioned clothes today.

As soon as she entered the crowd, she immediately appeared familiar and warm with these people as if she had invited them.

The relatives who had some opinions about her last night could not help but change their opinion of her now. They whispered, “It seems that Jierou is truly capable.”

“Maybe we were wrong about her last night?”

Even Mrs. Lin couldn’t help but regret it when she saw this scene. It turned out that Qiao Jierou had so many strengths! If she had known, she wouldn’t have been so sarcastic last night!

“Mayor Xu, please stay for a meal when the ceremony is over!” Qiao Jierou invited.

“That’s not necessary. After paying my respects to the old master, I still have something to do.”

Qiao Jierou was a little disappointed, but she immediately smiled brightly. “Mayor Xu, you’re a busy person who bears the happiness of the entire city. I’m really grateful that you took the time to come today. Next time, I must find a chance to treat you well.”

Mayor Xu nodded and said politely, “Please excuse me.”

“Go ahead,” Qiao Jierou said.

She watched Mayor Xu walk away from her but then saw him go toward Qiao Weiyang. She frowned.

Qiao Weiyang had been busy greeting all the guests who came to pay their respects today. She personally handed incense to them and accompanied them to pay their respects. She did not treat anyone specially.

She had just finished her work when she saw Mayor Xu walking over.

“Mayor Xu,” Qiao Weiyang greeted.

“The last time I had dinner with Wangzhi, you called me Uncle Xu. How did you forget so quickly?” Mayor Xu said with a kind smile..
