I Refused to Be a Substitute, and Shot to Fame on a Variety Show With My Mother-In-Law

186 Abuse Her On Sight

It had been a long time since Qiao Qiao had seen Qiao Jingmo so close. In her impression, this man was arbitrary, domineering, and inhumane. He was like the King of Hell that everyone avoided.

“Get in the car.” The man’s slightly cold voice came from the car, indicating his impatience.

Qiao Qiao gritted her teeth and nimbly climbed into the car. Unexpectedly, she used too much strength when she got into the car and pounced on Qiao Jingmo’s lap. Her face even went straight to an indescribable place. Fortunately, Qiao Jingmo reached out quickly and pressed her head back into the seat. He frowned. “It’s been three years since we last met, but you’re still so rash. There’s no need to stick to me when you’re bowing.”

Qiao Qiao swayed, dizzy. She rubbed her head and looked up. In front of her was Qiao Jingmo’s handsome profile.

Although it had been a long time since she had seen him up close like this, there was no denying that this man was as good-looking as ever. In his early thirties, time had not left a mark on his face. Instead, he was becoming more and more charming.

However, this incomparably handsome man’s cold face was filled with impatience.

Qiao Qiao snorted, her expression even more impatient than Qiao Jingmo’s. “Shao Jingmo, who wants to bow to you? Do you think you’re the emperor of ancient times? Also, don’t think that just because you have the surname of the Qiao family, you’re really a member of the Qiao family, that you’re my uncle. Let me tell you, your surname is Shao. Your surname will always be Shao!”

Qiao Jingmo replied casually, “Whether I have the surname Qiao or not, I’m still your uncle.”

Qiao Qiao choked. Although it was not wrong.

Qiao Jingmo’s father and her grandfather were comrades. In terms of seniority, Qiao Jingmo was an uncle.

But! She wouldn’t call Qiao Jingmo Uncle! Calling him uncle was equivalent to acknowledging his existence in the Qiao family. She would never call him that.

The bodyguard was about to put the suitcase in the trunk when Qiao Qiao shouted, “Wait a minute. Give me back my suitcase.”

The bodyguard reminded her, “Miss, you can’t put suitcases in the front.”

Qiao Qiao tried her best to show her unreasonable side. “There’s something very important in my suitcase. It has to be under my nose at all times for me to be at ease.”

Then she paused. Glancing sideways at Qiao Jingmo’s expression, she gathered her courage. “I don’t care anyway. Either I get out of the car and you stuff me in the trunk with the suitcase, or put the suitcase in front.”

She wondered if Qiao Jingmo would compromise.

And Qiao Jingmo did not disappoint her. He said, “Put her in the trunk with the suitcase.”

Qiao Qiao: “?”

The bodyguard obeyed Qiao Jingmo and gestured for her to enter. “Miss, please get into the trunk.”

Qiao Qiao: “…”

At this moment, Qiao Qiao thought that if she lost a few decades of her life, she must have been killed by Qiao Jingmo. If she lost a few years of her life, she must have been angered to death by Qiao Jingmo.

She began the usual method in the Qiao family. She made a scene—

“I don’t want it! I don’t want it! I haven’t been back in three years. Three years of ignoring me and you abused me on sight. Shao Jingmo! Doesn’t your conscience hurt?!”

Qiao Jingmo’s thin lips moved as he shouted in a low voice, “Qiao Guigui!”

Qiao Qiao immediately restrained her loud voice.

Qiao Jingmo glanced sideways and reminded her coldly, “Your grandfather gave you the word ‘Gui’ because he wanted you to be a quiet and beautiful woman, not as vulgar as you are now.”

Qiao Qiao’s lips pressed down. “…”

The next second, the automatic door closed. Qiao Qiao didn’t say another word as the car drove. Anyway, she’d made a fuss and argued. She’d made enough of a scene, but it didn’t help. Instead, it made her look like a person who had just escaped from a mental hospital.

Never mind.

After all, she was twenty-four years old. She still had to care about her image.

The car arrived at Shengshi Hotel.

The automatic door opened.

After Qiao Qiao got out of the car, she stretched. Before she could feel comfortable, the bodyguard who had silently appeared behind her suddenly said, “Miss, please follow Third Master in.”

Qiao Qiao patted her chest. “You almost scared me to death.”

The bodyguard was very sorry. “I’m sorry, Miss.”

Qiao Qiao asked, “What’s your name?”

The bodyguard answered truthfully, “Jing Cheng.”

Qiao Qiao grinned. “I’ll remember you. I’ll tell Shao Jingmo later that you molested me and fired you.”

The bodyguard smiled without saying anything. “Miss, Jing Cheng is my nickname. Third Master usually calls me by my code name.”

Qiao Qiao: “…”

She unwillingly followed Qiao Jingmo into the hotel.

The suite was a large presidential suite. Qiao Qiao only dawdled outside for a moment before entering and not seeing Qiao Jingmo again. She walked around and scolded Qiao Jingmo in her heart.

Aggrieved was really aggrieved. But she was secretly happy. However, after cursing, she sighed and thought about how to slip away from Qiao Jingmo. There was that bodyguard guarding outside who could pick her up with one hand.

Challenging was impossible unless she jumped off a building.

She went to the window to take a look. Good God, the eighteenth floor. She would definitely die young if she jumped down. No, she did not have many children and grandchildren yet.

At this moment, Qiao Jingmo’s voice came from behind. “If you wanted to suicide, it’s not recommended to jump off a building. Jumping off a building is equivalent to throwing things from a height. It’s fine if you die, but if you’re half-dead, you still have to be sentenced.”

Qiao Qiao: “…”

She turned around. Qiao Jingmo was standing on the other side of her in the waffle-patterned bathrobe the hotel had provided. The bathrobe’s collar was wide open. Other than his solid body, his abdominal muscles were vaguely visible.

As far as she knew, men in their early thirties began to have small bellies, then developed them until they became increasingly greasy.

Qiao Jingmo actually had abs. It seemed that he was usually very disciplined.

Qiao Jingmo looked at her. “Did you see it carefully? Do you need me to untie it for you to see?”

Qiao Qiao came back to her senses. “Pervert!”

Qiao Jingmo smiled. “Whoever’s the pervert knows best.”

Qiao Qiao: “…”

...

Qiao Jingmo pulled down the curtain on the wall and picked up the tablet on the coffee table. He connected to Old Master Qiao in Xingzhou and clicked on the projection. Old Master Qiao’s face appeared on the curtain.

Seeing this long-lost face, Qiao Qiao had mixed feelings.

She had loved her grandfather the most since she was young and respected him the most. She could understand that her grandfather had adopted Shao Jingmo, and she could understand that her grandfather had given Shao Jingmo the surname of the Qiao family because Shao Jingmo was an orphan. His father, mother, and two brothers had died for the country.

But she couldn’t understand why her grandfather had handed the entire Qiao family to Qiao Jingmo. She had quietly asked around if it was possible that Qiao Jingmo’s parents and brother’s death was related to Grandpa. Grandpa only did this because he felt guilty.

In the end, it had nothing to do with him. He simply felt that Shao Jingmo was more capable of managing the Qiao family, which made Qiao Qiao very unconvinced. Although her father was not good, she had the ambition of a swan.

She was extremely distracted when she heard Qiao Jingmo’s voice. “Guigui!”
