Gong Zeli’s dark brown eyes locked onto hers. He stared at her for a while before saying slowly, “You called me out just to ask about this?”

“Mm.” Qiao Mianmian nodded. “I hope you can tell me what exactly happened.”

Gong Zeli pursed his thin lips and kept quiet for a while. He then smiled and said, “Didn’t I say that your dad and I only did a few businesses? It’s not much.”

“I don’t believe it.” Qiao Mianmian said directly, “The Gong Corporation can’t possibly do any business with the Qiao family. The money earned from doing business with the Qiao family is nothing to you. Why are you helping my dad? Is it because… because you know that I saved you?

“Because you know that I saved you and you want to repay me. So you invested in the Qiao family’s company and helped them?”

Gong Zeli narrowed his eyes and kept quiet.

“I guessed correctly?” Qiao Mianmian pursed her lips and kept quiet for a while. After a while, she looked up again. “Firstly, I thank you for your help. But in the future, I’ll settle the Qiao family’s matters myself. You…”

“Qiao Mianmian, aren’t you too full of yourself?”

Before Qiao Mianmian could finish, Gong Zeli interrupted her coldly.

She looked up in shock.

Gong Zeli’s gaze and expression became cold. At this moment, he looked unfamiliar and a little scary.

Qiao Mianmian was stunned when she heard his cold voice. “I can help whoever I want. What right do you have to arrange for me to do anything?

“Me helping your dad has nothing to do with you. You saved me, and I’ve always wanted to repay you. But since you’re unwilling to accept my kindness, then forget it.” Gong Zeli narrowed his eyes and looked down at her. “Is it because I was too clingy previously, so I, Gong Zeli, should be despised by you?”

Qiao Mianmian widened her eyes. “No, I didn’t…”

“You don’t want to have anything to do with me anymore, so you hope that I won’t have anything to do with your family, right? If I continue to help your dad, you’ll feel burdened and uncomfortable, right?

“You’re even more worried that I’ll continue to pester you in this way. Because I’m trying to curry favor with your dad. I definitely want to get support from him so that he can put in good words for me in front of you in the future. Is that what you think?” Gong Zeli smiled as he spoke, but there was no smile in his eyes.

His eyes and expression were getting colder.

Qiao Mianmian opened her mouth to explain.

She wanted to tell him that she didn’t think so.

But she suddenly realized that although Gong Zeli’s words were a little harsh, a part of it was true.

She really did think that way.

She wondered if Gong Zeli was trying to get on Father Qiao’s good side.

She was afraid that he would continue to pester her.

Gong Zeli saw every change in her expression and couldn’t help but sneer. “I’m right, Qiao Mianmian. That’s what you think.

“It seems like my pestering previously really annoyed you.” Gong Zeli smiled self-mockingly. “I didn’t expect to be hated by others one day.”

This person was someone he cared about..
