Chapter 1178 - Their First Collaboration (14) (1/2)

After having said that, Qiao Zhigang saw that Lu Nanze’s expression had turned frosty. “What I mean is what I’ve just said! Your target was Qiao Lian. So shouldn’t she be the one to decide whether to press charges?”

Qiao Zhigang widened his eyes in horror. He had not expected that Lu Nanze would say that to him in all seriousness.

He pursed his lips and looked at Lu Nanze. “So you are sure that you wish to settle accounts with me?”

Looking quite exhausted, Lu Nanze massaged his temple and repeated, “I’ve already said that I’m not getting back at you, it’s Qiao Lian’s decision.”

On this note, he slid downwards and, as he lay down, concluded, “If there’s nothing else, you may leave.”

Qiao Zhigang froze.

He took in a deep breath and spun around, heading towards the door.

The moment he threw open the door and saw the people outside, he was instantly stupefied.

From looking extremely furious, he suddenly turned into that simple and honest man once more as he said, “Xiao Lian, why are you here? I heard that you were in trouble so I came over to see you. Are you ok?”

Looking at her uncle coldly, she could only feel horror.

Why had she never realized that he was that kind of person?

Furthermore, he had considerably good acting skills and an ability to switch roles very quickly. The kind uncle role that he was playing now was way too convincing.

In the past, he had been that loser, the little brother that needed to be taken care of, but now…

Qiao Lian bit her lip as she narrowed her eyes and looked at Qiao Zhigang. After a pause, she said, “I’m very well.”

Qiao Zhigang smiled and looked relieved at once. “That’s good then, that’s good. I can relax now that you’re alright!”
