Chapter 287 - She is Xiao Qiao (2) (2/2)
Now that Shen Liangchuan had interrupted her, she raised her eyebrows at him with uncertainty. He shook his head with a tiny movement.
Qiao Lian fell silent and he spoke, ”You may go. There will be no breach of contract penalty imposed.”
His decisive waiver surprised both Qiao Lian and Smiling Tiger.
The fact that Shen Liangchuan was the big boss behind the team was something that a number of people knew. Hence, his appearance at the venue was not a surprise to them.
Smiling Tiger nodded and then glanced at Qiao Lian before he strode off, dragging his suitcase behind.
After Smiling Tiger's silhouette disappeared from their sight, Shen Liangchuan turned to the others gathered around. ”Is there anyone else who wishes to leave?”
Su Penghao, who was sucking a lollipop, had both his hands on the keyboard, playing a game, and acted as if he hadn't heard what Shen Liangchuan had said.
The rest of the team members glanced at each other and eventually shook their heads simultaneously.
Shen Liangchuan continued, ”Okay, carry on with your training then. Very soon the first season of the national eSports competition will begin.”
After saying this, he left the villa with Qiao Lian in tow.
The car engine started and the two of them were now on their way.
Qiao Lian's gaze fell on his arm. Looking as though he wasn't even injured, he drove away steadily.
Beijing was extremely pretty at night, with waning streetlights and bright neon billboards.
But her spirits were low.
She looked down at her right hand and gave a bitter laugh.
Fortunately Shen Liangchuan had stopped her from finishing what she was going to say earlier. Otherwise, it would have turned out to be a real joke.
Even if she had told Smiling Tiger that she was Xiao Qiao, what proof did she have?
As she thought about this, the man next to her spoke. ”Leaving the team just because of a name. I don't need such people anyway.”
Qiao Lian was taken aback by this remark and turned to look at him.
So was that his way of consoling her?
