I'm Secretly Married To A Big Shot

C161-162

Chapter 161: It’s Him, the Mysterious Man!

She charged towards Qiao Mianmian with her arm raised.

Before the slap landed, someone had already grabbed her arm in mid-air.

One of the bodyguards had stepped in front of Qiao Mianmian and was swinging her arm away.

Lin Huizhen staggered a few meters from the force of the swing, and with a shriek, landed on the floor awkwardly.

She fell in a terrible position.

“Oh, ow! My back, it’s broken.” She moaned in agony on the floor.

“Mom!” Qiao Anxin widened her eyes and hurriedly went to help her up.

Lin Huizhen had one hand on her back while her face scrunched up in pain. “Master, you’ve got to help me with this. I can’t possibly stay in this house, being bullied by her! How could I?”

A few of the housemaids who had tried to stop the bodyguards were also on the floor.

With no proper training whatsoever, how could they be a match for these professional bodyguards?

One bodyguard could take down a group of them.

The rest dared not step forward after witnessing their prowess.

“Qiao Mianmian, you’re a horrible bully!”

Qiao Anxin helped Lin Huizhen to her feet. “My mother is your stepmother, and she’s your elder no matter what! How could you treat her like this! Do you think you can do whatever pleases you just because you’ve got a backing now!

“You’re ridiculous and immoral!”

Qiao Ruhai trembled from the anger and raised his arm to give Qiao Mianmian a slap too.

This time, Qiao Mianmian did not stay there to be hit by him.

She simply turned away expressionlessly.

Qiao Ruhai’s hand landed on air.

Seeing how Qiao Mianmian just evaded it, Qiao Ruhai was even more enraged. “Sinner! How dare you! You could even do this to your mother, I’ve got to teach this sinner a lesson!”

He then raised his arm again.

Qiao Ruhai was a very proud man.

Seeing the trouble his daughter had caused, all he wanted to do was to re-establish his authority as the head of the household.

“Old Master Qiao, if you do not wish for the Qiao Firm to end up like Sheng Hui Corporation, I suggest you do not act on impulse. You may not be able to bear the consequence of this slap.”

Father Qiao heard a firm, authoritative voice coming from behind him.

The man’s voice was not loud, but the room went silent the moment he spoke.

Qiao Anxin, standing beside him, became shocked.

She widened her eyes and turned around.

She saw a tall and imposing man with a domineering presence walking up the stairs.

A flicker of surprise flashed past her eyes.

It’s him! The mysterious man!

Although Qiao Anxin had been criticized by him the last time, she found that she simply couldn’t forget him after the incident.

She even dreamt of him.

She’d always thought that Su Ze was her one true love.

But after meeting this man, she realized that he was actually the one for her.

She’d liked him the moment she saw him.

The nervousness, excitement, and anticipation she felt when facing him were emotions she hadn’t felt with Su Ze.

Chapter 162: Who Are You to Interrogate Me?

It was only after seeing him that she learned what it felt like to really like someone.

She finally realized that what she felt towards Su Ze wasn’t true or genuine.

She simply felt that Su Ze was a good catch and was suitable as a husband.

Qiao Anxin did not conceal her excitement. She quickly let go of Lin Huizhen’s hand and went forward. “Mister, we meet again. Do you remember me? We met once at the school’s car park. I am…”

Before she was done talking, the man walked towards Qiao Mianmian and placed a hand on her cheek gently. He then asked coldly, “You’ve been hit? Who did it?”

Qiao Mianmian looked at him in shock. “Y-You’re here?”

She winced when Mo Yesi touched her face.

He quickly took his hand away as his eyes got deeper.

The coldness he exuded was terrifying.

His gaze swept past Qiao Ruhai, Lin Huizhen, and Qiao Anxin as he asked, “Which of you hit her?”

Everyone who made eye contact with him felt a chill down their spine.

Even someone as eccentric as Lin Huizhen stopped yelling and screaming.

After spending decades as a businessman, Qiao Ruhai had learned to read someone by their eyes.

A glance was all it took for him to know that this handsome man had a rather complex background.

It wasn’t just every rich man who could hold that sort of presence.

Only somebody who grew up with class and status would hone such an aura.

“Mister, who are you? What has my daughter Qiao Mianmian got to do with you?” Father Qiao was a lot more polite when he talked to Mo Yesi.

He dared not offend this man before finding out his actual identity.

Especially after this young man had threatened him.

From his words, it seemed like he was behind Sheng Hui Corporation’s bankruptcy?

Holding that thought, Father Qiao’s expression darkened.

Mo Yesi glanced at him coldly. “You haven’t answered my question. Did you hit her?”

Qiao Ruhai furrowed his brows. He couldn’t help but think this young lad was being way too rude to his elders.

He seemed intimate with Qiao Mianmian and was acting like her lover. How could he be so disrespectful to her father?

This was too much!

If this man really was his daughter’s lover, the least he could do was to address him as Uncle.

What was with this attitude!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He raised his voice, “So what if I did! She’s my daughter, can’t I teach my own daughter a lesson? Who are you to interrogate me like this?

“This is our family matter, it’s none of your business!”

Mo Yesi looked rather expressionless at first.

But upon hearing Qiao Ruhai admit to hitting Qiao Mianmian, his expression got colder and stiffer by the second.
