My Identities Were All Exposed After I Was Pampered by Everyone at My Grandfather’s House!

175 Qiao Ze’s Worries

It was a music video, so it was quite short.

It was over before they could finish half their can of beer.

Qiao Ze cocked an eyebrow at Qiao Yue and asked, “How was it? It’s the first MV I directed.”

Although Qiao Ze was now an actor, he was learning many other things, such as producing, directing, and even composing.

The beat of this song was produced by Qiao Ze.

Looking at Qiao Ze, Qiao Yue was reminded of his father.

Qiao Ze wasn’t interested in the family’s assets, but Qiao Yi fought for a piece of the family assets to keep his own business afloat despite his angry father. Old Master Qiao had four very capable grandsons, but why did he have a useless son like Qiao Yi?

“It’s not bad. Even though I don’t watch these things often, I still feel it’s quite good.”

“It’s just a demo, so it’s still quite unpolished. Fifth brother, you’re too kind.” Qiao Ze picked up his beer and finished it in one gulp.

He didn’t have his usual cheeky smile and he looked exceptionally serious.

“I’m in the process of setting up my own studio and company. I don’t plan to use the Qiao family’s influence in any of it.”

Qiao Yue nodded. She had some understanding of Qiao Ze’s inspirational story of pursuing his dreams in the entertainment industry.

It was the story of a rich man’s son who hid his real identity to find his place in the entertainment industry. After running into many obstacles, he was taken under an unrelenting manager’s wing. Together, the two of them earned back an entire building for their company.

“Although our company is doing well, not everyone wants to do well.” Qiao Ze said with his head lowered, like he was in deep thought. “Qiao Yue, if there’s any unflattering rumor about me one day, do you think my fans will believe me?”

Qiao Yue shook her head. She didn’t know anything about the entertainment industry. “You should ask your fans, not me.”

“Fans are generally swayed by public opinion. If there’s any unflattering rumor about me, they will leave me.”

“I think that as long as you’re sincere and produce good work, there shouldn’t be any problem.” Although Qiao Yue didn’t know how celebrities connect with their fans, she felt that one shouldn’t go wrong with sincerity and good work.

Qiao Jing smiled bitterly. “I’m relieved to hear you say that. I just need to do my own thing and not care about what others say or do.”

Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Ze. He had always been unruly, but tonight, she saw a different side of her third brother.

She felt that Qiao Ze must know something.

“I know what my father did. He didn’t stop when he kidnapped the female student and even hurt Qiao Yu. I know that he’s beyond help.”

“He doesn’t represent the entire Qiao family, and he doesn’t represent you.”

Qiao Ze smiled bitterly.

Qiao Ze knew what his father had done, but he could not expose him. He could only watch from the sidelines.

Qiao Yue took a sip of her beer. “You’ll always be my third brother. I won’t associate you with your father, and neither will fourth brother.”

Qiao Ze nodded. “If you need to deal with my father, you can go ahead.” After a moment of silence, he continued, “If second brother wants to do something, that’s fine too.”

Qiao Yue was slightly shocked. Qiao Ze and Qiao Jing had never gotten along. Qiao Ze even thought that Qiao Jing was someone who would do anything to please their grandfather. But now, Qiao Ze actually said that he would let Qiao Jing deal with his father.

Qiao Ze’s act of placing righteousness before family clearly showed how disappointed he was with Qiao Yi.

“Okay, I’ll let Qiao Jing know.” Qiao Yue figured that Qiao Ze wanted her to pass the message to Qiao Jing.

Qiao Ze opened another can of beer, and his eyes seemed misty. He finished the beer in one gulp and crushed the can with his hand.

Qiao Yue followed suit and finished her beer as well. The beer tasted bitter, just like Qiao Ze’s worries that he had just shared.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Qiao Ze felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.

Qiao Ze had heard the conversation between his grandfather and father today. He came home to see his parents, but he got an earful of Qiao Yi’s complaints. Qiao Yi had even told him to stay away from Qiao Yue.

What was even more outrageous was that he even asked Qiao Ze to contact his company overseas to see if there was any way to transport the people he was going to sell.

It was completely deranged.

It was ridiculous that the first thing he said to his son, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, was to ask him to help with illegal human trafficking.
