The Goddess is Sweet and Aloof

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Kill Whatever We Encounter _1

If now, they let Qiao Xiaren take the fall, not only would the company be able to get rid of a thorn in their side, they could also build buzz for the company and Zhou Siyu.

Netizens and fans usually side with the underdog. By then, not only would Zhou Siyu’s popularity rise, he wouldn’t be fired due to his job mishap.

Seeing Zhou Siyu’s continuous hints compelling him, Jiang Chen instantly caught on.

“Miss Zhou, don’t panic, I’ll call the police right away. We won’t let the real culprit get away!”

Zhou Siyu felt relieved, knowing that Jiang Chen understood her intention.

With nearly boiling hotpot soup poured down her, Zhou Siyu’s face had begun to swell, reddening unbearably, much like serious allergy symptoms, which made a shocking sight.

“I suggest you get to a hospital quickly.” Qiao Xiaren sneered coldly, her bewitching jet-black eyes slowly landing on Zhou Siyu’s face. “Let me remind you, with such hot water splash on your face, your surface skin cells are already burned dead, possibly resulting in blisters, peeling, and deep tissue necrosis. If not properly treated, severe ulceration can occur.”

Zhou Siyu thought Qiao Xiaren was trying to frighten her, but she was genuinely worried about her face, so immediately said to Jiang Chen: “First, call the police, and then call an ambulance.”

Jiang Chen nodded, standing in front of Qiao Xiaren, seemingly afraid she might escape.

Never having experienced such an incident before, the hotpot restaurant was chaotic. Even the owner was panicking, not knowing what to do, nervously hanging the closed sign out front.

In stark contrast, Xiaren remained calm, her eyes filled with silent sarcasm – she didn’t even blink under the various gazes cast her way.

She was not really a 17-year-old girl. Being calm and composed was something Zhou Siyu and the like could never achieve. This kind of demeanor manifested strangely in her.

Soon, the police and ambulance arrived, and Zhou Siyu was carried onto the ambulance, crying and whimpering.

“Goddess, what are we going to do?”

Compared to Xiaren’s calm, Abby seemed a little panicked.

Qiao Xiaren patted Abby’s shoulder and looked at Chu Yifei, “You guys go back first. This has nothing to do with you.”

“Goddess…”

“Listen to me.” Qiao Xiaren slightly curved the corner of her lips, conveying tranquility through her gaze. Abby’s inner fear calmed somehow. Regardless of what the Goddess says, she believes unwaveringly!

“Looking forward to our next collaboration,” Chu Yifei whispered, his handsome face exhibiting more severity and calm, exuding a mature and steady masculinity.

“The feeling is mutual.”

Qiao Xiaren turned around and got into the car with Jiang Chen.

Even before entering the entertainment industry, she knew that it was a magnificent killing field. She would encounter all kinds of people, and her rule was to kill anything that threatened her – divine or mortal!

——

The matter blew up. The hospital immediately notified Zhou Siyu’s family and the company. Reporters and fans, having sniffed the news, crowded at the hospital entrance, their tumultuous voices penetrating through the hospital’s walls.

When Liu Qiang arrived, he saw only Qiao Xiaren sitting in the hospital’s corridor. The light shone on her, casting a glow on her exquisite face without a trace of makeup, her stunning elegance instantly catching Liu Qiang’s attention.

Seemingly hearing the footsteps, Qiao Xiaren turned around.

“So you’re Qiao Xiaren?”

“Yes, I am.”

Liu Qiang walked over to Qiao Xiaren, his gaze steady, his eyes sparkling with an inscrutable depth. “I’ve heard you’re accused of disfiguring Zhou Siyu?”

The hotpot soup, nearly 100°C, had been on her face for about an hour. You didn’t need to check that her face was ruined. To him, Zhou Siyu, whose face was gone, was just a useless pawn.

Qiao Xiaren laughed, “I think Mr. Liu should ask the police for proof. I, for one, will never admit.”

Liu Qiang smiled deviously, a hint of menace lacing his voice. “Qiao Xiaren, I presume you to be intelligent. You must understand my intent. If I say you’re the instigator, then you are!”

“Sorry, I couldn’t possibly attack Zhou Siyu because…” Qiao Xiaren lightly opened her lips, maintaining her elegance, “She! Isn’t! Worthy!”

“Young lady, don’t be overly arrogant. In this industry, you need to know when to bow and face reality.” Liu Qiang, his cunning eyes flashing cold, “Arrogant people won’t have a good ending. If you’re willing to listen to me …”

“Oh? Do tell?” Qiao Xiaren seemed intrigued, prompting him for more.

Liu Qiang thought he successfully intimidated Qiao Xiaren, considering she was but a 17-year-old girl. However stubborn, he could tame her.
