After Sheng Hua finished speaking, he turned towards the waiter and ordered a cup of hot cocoa for her and a few dishes that Qiao Xuan liked to eat.

Qiao Xuan had never known, that Sheng Hua had such an understanding of her preferences. In the past, when they lived together, he had never been so attentive.

This was completely different from what she imagined when she first came. She had thought that Sheng Hua would angrily ask her when he had become involved with Sheng Liang behind his back.

But the calmer he was, the more Qiao Xuan felt that this man was fake.

"Just say it, no need to be like this." From the moment she decided to break off the engagement with Sheng Hua, Qiao Xuan had already mentally prepared herself for her revenge, so she hoped that he would be more straightforward.

Sheng Hua looked at her in astonishment. "Qiao Qiao, are you angry because you were sick yesterday and I wasn't with you?"

Qiao Xuan was startled, she did not expect that even now, Sheng Hua was still harboring such thoughts, did he really think that she was only following him to vent her anger?

Did he take her for a pretentious woman?

"No." Qiao Xuan only said two words, and didn't say anymore words to explain.

Seeing her reaction, Sheng Hua finally revealed a trace of impatience. He leaned back, crossed his legs, and asked with a smile that was not a smile: "What did Ol 'Three give you? How did you help him?"

"Since he's been removed from his post, what other benefits can he give me? Besides, I don't think I can help him in any way." Sheng Hua's current appearance was probably the real him. He couldn't help but feel disgust in his heart.

"You should be clear about what abilities you have," Sheng Hua chuckled. "Qiao Qiao, I think it's necessary for me to remind you that I arranged for Qiao Nan to go abroad and also your parents, who are back home, to wait for news of our marriage."

Qiao Xuan's heart trembled, his fingers immediately clenched: "What exactly do you want?"

Her brother Qiao Nan had indeed been arranged by Sheng Hua to go abroad to study. At that time, they had already confirmed their relationship, so she let him handle it with ease. Now that he mentioned it, it was obvious that it was a threat.

Sheng Hua stood up, tidied up his clothes, and said slowly: "Ol 'Three knows what I want, and it would be best if that thing appeared on my desk tomorrow. Otherwise, you might not be able to see your beloved brother anymore."

Hearing his last sentence, Qiao Xuan's mind buzzed, and his face lost all color: "Don't hurt my brother!"

Sheng Hua left her a look that depends on your performance, and then walked out.

Qiao Xuan was startled for a moment, then remembered to call Qiao Nan, but he could not get through.

Since Sheng Hua had already said that, then it wouldn't just be to scare her.

But she really did not know what Sheng Hua was talking about, and now, she could only ask Sheng Liang.

When Qiao Xuan returned to Sheng Liang's home, she saw that he had already went downstairs and was sitting on the sofa in the living room, reading a newspaper.

Before she could say anything, Sheng Liang asked first, "Where did you go?"

He did not raise his head to look at her, and his tone of voice was similar to how it normally was. Qiao Xuan slowly walked over, and also did not conceal anything. "Sheng Hua is looking for me."

Just as he expected, Sheng Liang did not seem surprised at all. He only made an "oh" and continued to read the newspaper.

However, Qiao Xuan couldn't be this calm. She was still worried about Qiao Nan's safety as she stood in front of him and said softly, "Since we're cooperating, can you help me out?"

"Sheng Hua asked you to find me?" Sheng Liang still did not raise his head, and directly replied, "I'm sorry, I can't help you with that."
