Chapter 10 – The Truth Revealed

Seeing this scene, Qi Dengxian couldn't help but frown.

"Qi Dengxian, where the hell were you hiding, you useless coward? Mengmeng was in such danger, and you just hid away like a turtle!" Pang Xiuyun's anger flared up as she scolded him upon seeing him.

Qi Dengxian didn't respond, he just glanced at Zhang Shaojie indifferently and asked, "What's going on? Why is Young Master Zhang here?"

Pang Xiuyun shouted angrily, "How dare you ask!"

"Yesterday, Mengmeng went to the Heilong Chamber of Commerce to demand the debt from Yu Kaihe, and he made her drink, a whole bottle of foreign liquor!"

"If it weren't for Young Master Zhang showing up in time and rescuing her, who knows what could have happened to her!"

Qiao Guotao, standing to the side, also had a gloomy expression and looked at Qi Dengxian with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Qiao Guotao said in a deep voice, "Dengxian, since I've entrusted Qiumeng to your care, you must take on this responsibility."

Zhang Shaojie quickly smiled and said, "Uncle, Aunt, there's no need to be so formal. Qiumeng and I are good friends, it's what I should do!"

"Besides, blaming Brother Qi won't help. After all, he's just a prison guard, even if he showed up, it probably wouldn't have made a difference."

"This was just a small effort on my part, no need to mention it repeatedly, I'm embarrassed."

Qi Dengxian couldn't help but laugh at Zhang Shaojie's words, shaking his head, he said, "I was the one who rescued Qiumeng from Yu Kaihe, when did it become your achievement?"

This statement left everyone present momentarily stunned.

Zhang Shaojie chuckled and said, "Brother Qi just arrived at the Qiao Family, he needs some achievements to establish himself, I understand."

"Well... this matter has nothing to do with me, it's actually Brother Qi's achievement. I didn't know anything, I just happened to come by to visit Qiumeng today!"

This move of retreating to advance by Zhang Shaojie directly pushed Pang Xiuyun's dissatisfaction with Qi Dengxian to the peak.

"Qi Dengxian, you have no skills, but Old Qiao insists on marrying Mengmeng to you, I have nothing to say."

"A person can be incompetent, but they can't be shameless!"

"Clearly, it was Young Master Zhang who rescued Mengmeng, yet you claim it was your achievement, aren't you embarrassed? What capability do you, a mere prison guard, have to provoke people from the Heilong Chamber of Commerce?"

Pang Xiuyun completely humiliated Qi Dengxian, not leaving him any dignity.

Zhang Shaojie wore a smug smile, just as Qiao Qiumeng woke up, her head still aching.

Seeing she was at home, she breathed a sigh of relief, vaguely recalling some of last night's events, and looked at Zhang Shaojie with confusion, "Young Master Zhang, was it you who saved me last night?"

Zhang Shaojie smiled helplessly and said, "Mengmeng, it wasn't me, it was Brother Qi who saved you."

Pang Xiuyun shouted, "Young Master Zhang, you are noble and willing to help this useless person, but I can't stand it!"

"Mengmeng, it was Young Master Zhang who saved you last night, otherwise, who knows what could have happened!"

"The good man your father found for you, his phone was off all night, truly carefree."

Qiao Qiumeng vaguely remembered a man saving her, and after hearing her mother's words, she couldn't help but look gratefully at Zhang Shaojie.

"I seem to remember a bit, thank you, Young Master Zhang. If it weren't for you, I might have been in big trouble." Qiao Qiumeng sighed in relief, thanking Zhang Shaojie.

Upon hearing this, Pang Xiuyun became even more enthusiastic, saying to Qi Dengxian, "What do you have to say now?"

Qi Dengxian looked indifferent, shrugged, and said, "I asked Li Yunwan to bring Qiumeng back yesterday, if you don't believe me, just ask her."

Zhang Shaojie nodded at Qi Dengxian and said, "I'll call Li Yunwan later and remind her to publicly say it was you who saved Qiumeng."

Qi Dengxian glanced at Zhang Shaojie with disdain, thinking only two words—clown.

Qiao Qiumeng looked at Qi Dengxian with some contempt, this guy not only lacked ability but was also shameless, clearly it was Zhang Shaojie who saved her from Yu Kaihe, yet he claimed it was him, truly shameless!

It would be best if her father could see through this scoundrel's facade soon, then it would be easier for her to propose a divorce.

Qiao Guotao patted Qi Dengxian on the shoulder, earnestly advising, "Dengxian, a person can be poor, but they can't lack ambition."

Qi Dengxian replied, "Uncle Qiao is right."

He smiled, not bothering to argue about these things.

"Mengmeng, don't worry about the twenty million, I said I'd help you sort it out." Zhang Shaojie smiled at Qiao Qiumeng.

"Thank you." Qiao Qiumeng sighed in relief, but her expression suddenly changed, "I remembered something, last night, I seemed to have smashed a bottle over Yu Kaihe's head!"

Her words made Qiao Guotao frown deeply, and Pang Xiuyun gasped.

Zhang Shaojie's smile became awkward, and he dryly comforted, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll talk to Mr. Zhao later, there won't be any trouble."

Pang Xiuyun said, "Thank you, Young Master Zhang!"

At this moment, a Mercedes stopped outside.

Li Yunwan got out of the car, entered the Qiao Family home, carrying some fruits, and smiled, "Mengmeng, I've come to see you!"

"Yunwan is here, come in and sit!" Seeing Li Yunwan, Pang Xiuyun smiled and welcomed her inside.

The Li Family also had some influence in Zhonghai and was a partner of the Qiao Family. Li Yunwan and Qiao Qiumeng were good friends, so she was quite welcome at the Qiao Family.

Qiao Qiumeng wasn't entirely sure if Zhang Shaojie was the one who saved her last night, as she had been too drunk to see clearly before passing out.

She immediately pulled Li Yunwan to sit beside her and said, "Wanwan, you were with me yesterday, you didn't drink much, you should remember clearly."

Li Yunwan was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Yes."

Qiao Qiumeng said to Li Yunwan seriously, "Tell me the truth, who exactly saved me last night?"

Qiao Guotao also turned his gaze to Li Yunwan, as she had brought Qiao Qiumeng back last night and witnessed the whole incident, making her the most credible source.

Qi Dengxian shrugged, not caring about Zhang Shaojie's actions, but if Li Yunwan could tell the truth and expose Zhang Shaojie's ugly face, he would be happy to see it.

"You really don't remember anything?" Li Yunwan smiled at Qiao Qiumeng and asked.

"After drinking a bottle of foreign liquor yesterday, I blacked out!" Qiao Qiumeng said with a bitter smile.
