"It's okay, it's not your fault, don't blame yourself." Fu Shaoting looked at her helplessly.
She is always willing to take the problems on herself.
Qiao Man thanked her gratefully: "Thank you for arriving in time today and helping me, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous..."
If Fu Shaoting hadn't arrived in time and asked the strong man to change his price from 500,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan, she couldn't even confirm what the final result would have been.
"As your husband, this is what I should do. Stop being so polite." Fu Shaoting raised his eyebrows with a faint tone.
Solving the strong man is a small matter, and it is nothing to him.
It would be good to take the opportunity to let Qiao Man see her mother's true face again.
Qiao Man smiled bitterly, thinking that Fu Shaoting didn't like her distant attitude, so she didn't say anything more. She just kept her help in mind and would repay him if she had the opportunity in the future.
Qiao Man sighed deeply, feeling depressed, with an aura of loss lingering all over her body.
Thinking of Qiao's mother's previous attitude, Qiao Man's mood became extremely bad.
Qiao Teng was a treasure in her eyes, and her daughter was worse than a grass root.
Seeing her uncomfortable expression, Fu Shaoting didn't know what to say, so he comforted her in a low tone: "Be more open-minded, otherwise you will have a hard time."
Qiao Man twitched the corners of her lips slightly and nodded.
Suddenly she remembered the scene where the strong man changed his story, looked at him suspiciously and asked: "By the way, how on earth did you convince that man to pay only 50,000 yuan in compensation?"
"He didn't mean to change my words before when I said something bad." She was even sure that he must have reached some kind of agreement with Mother Qiao and the others before he opened his mouth.
Thinking of how Qiao's mother and Liu Yingying tried their best to prevent her from visiting the injured, Qiao Man felt particularly uncomfortable.
Fu Shaoting's heart skipped a beat. Naturally, he couldn't tell the truth.
He coughed lightly and lied: "Of course he used his sharp tongue to convince me. As a salesman, this is the most basic ability."
Qiao Man looked at him doubtfully, a little disbelieving.
A good tongue? real or fake?
This strong man is not easy to convince at first glance.
Fu Shaoting saw that she didn't believe it, and continued: "The situation of him being tricked out of his wife by me is not serious. If he insists on asking for 500,000 yuan and has to go to court in the end, there is no guarantee when he will get the money."
"In the end, he figured it out on his own and agreed to my conditions. Fifty thousand yuan is the most suitable compensation amount."
Although this explanation is a bit far-fetched, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
Qiao Man felt that there was no need for Fu Shaoting to lie to her and believed him, but there was still a seed of doubt in her heart.
The next day was another nice sunny day.
The afternoon sun exuded a soft and warm radiance. Qiao Man felt that her neck was stiff after working all morning.
While rubbing her neck, she went downstairs to find a restaurant for lunch.
There was a Chinese restaurant downstairs that she often went to. After ordering, Qiao Man was scrolling through the video on her phone, when suddenly the phone ringing broke the silence.
Seeing the caller ID, Qiao Man couldn't help but curled her lips and opened the answer button.
"Man Bao, how are you doing lately?" came the cheerful and concerned voice of my best friend Gu Yao from the other end.
"Everything is fine with me, how about you?" Qiao Man asked with gentleness in her eyes.
Gu Yao chuckled and asked slightly worriedly: "I'm very fine, but I'm just worried about you. How is your flash marriage partner? Isn't he bullying you?"
She has an attitude that if Qiao Man is bullied, she will definitely not let Fu Shaoting go.
There was a smile in Qiao Man's eyes, and she said helplessly: "He is very good to me, don't worry."
"Really? He really didn't bully you? Don't hide it from me." Gu Yao expressed doubts.
After all, that man had a flash marriage with her, who knew what he was really like as a person.
"Really, how could I lie to you? He is really nice. He even helped me yesterday." Qiao Man's tone was inevitably a little low when she mentioned what happened yesterday.
Gu Yao immediately realized something and asked: "What happened? What happened yesterday?"
If it were normal matters, Qiao Man would not speak to her in this tone.
Qiao Man naturally didn't hide anything from Gu Yao, and simply told what happened in the hospital yesterday.
After hearing what she said, Gu Yao couldn't hold back the anger in her heart: "They have gone too far! How many times have they done this? Do they treat you like an ATM?"
"Not to mention whether you have so much savings, auntie is your biological mother. This is all biased and biased!"
Every time Gu Yao heard what the Qiao family did to Qiao Man, her fists became hardened.
"Wait for me to go back, and I will support you!" Gu Yao almost cursed. If the Qiao family were not her relatives, Gu Yao would have been cursing.
Qiao Man knew that Gu Yao really felt sorry for her, and a warm current flowed through her heart, as if the traces of being hurt by Qiao's mother had been cured.
She couldn't help laughing and said, "Then I'll thank you in advance."
Immediately, she changed the subject and spoke with some hesitation about Fu Shaoting's strangeness: "But I always feel that what my partner said to me yesterday was a bit weird..."
"What are you talking about?" Gu Yao was still angry and asked subconsciously.
"He said that because he was in sales, he convinced the victim's family, but I always felt that it was not that simple. After all, he had cooperated with my family before and wanted to get half a million from me..."
Qiao Man couldn't tell anyone else about this kind of thing, she could only discuss it with Gu Yao.
After hearing this, Gu Yao pondered for a moment and said, "Your suspicion is well-founded. Since the victim's family has reached cooperation with the Qiao family, it is impossible to change their story easily. The difference between 50,000 and 500,000 is not a small amount."
"Yes, he is actually very good to me, but I am worried that if he promises something to the victim's family... I am more worried about him." Qiao Man always felt that such a strong man was not so easy to persuade.
If Fu Shaoting goes behind her back, gives him money, or agrees to other conditions, only to have him change his mind suddenly, she will feel even more guilty.
"I've booked a flight for three days. Come pick me up then. When I get back, I can help you check the man's identity, and I can also help you keep tabs on him." Gu Yao understood what Qiao Man meant.
She was also worried that the man and Qiao Man were together and had other purposes.
Her best friend is good at everything, but sometimes she can be silly, which makes her have to worry.
"Okay, when will you get off the plane?" Qiao Man agreed happily.
They hadn't seen each other for a long time and she really missed her.
"We'll arrive at the airport at five o'clock in the afternoon. We'll go have dinner first then." Gu Yao made the arrangements clearly.
"Okay, I'll book the restaurant."
The two set a time and hung up the phone.
Qiao Man had lunch and got up to go back to the company.
As soon as she left the restaurant, she suddenly noticed a slightly familiar car parked on the opposite side of the road. A flash of confusion flashed in her eyes, why was he here?
