Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Manipulated by one’s own mother_1
Qiao Ning, in her youth, looked just like her, a beauty that always tantalized men.
Su Zigao’s gaze, filled with implicit aggression, was always fixed on her.
That dangerous aura made it increasingly hard for Qiao Ning to sit still!
If she knew her mother asked her out to meet Su Zigao, she would’ve never agreed!
But now that she was here, she couldn’t escape under her mother’s relentless insistence.
Qiao Ning tried to leave multiple times, all attempts were despised.
“Qiao Ning, Young Master Su invested in your mother’s new company, the least you could do is offer him a toast. After the toast, you can go back to your business, I won’t hold you back,” Kong Minjuan handed her a half-filled glass of red wine, and urged.
“Mom, I don’t drink…” Qiao Ning rejected reflexively.
“It’s a bit of red wine, won’t make you drunk. If you don’t toast Young Master Su, the next round of funding for your mother won’t come through, we’re talking about a hundred million here,” Kong Minjuan joked purposely.
Su Zigao lifted his wine glass, smiled gently and said, “Qiao Ning, I asked you out for meals multiple times, it wasn’t easy to get you here today. If you refuse to drink with me, I won’t be pleased. Qiao Ning, take one shot, and I will be satisfied!”
“That’s right, hurry up, don’t disgrace Young Master Su…” Kong Minjuan kept urging her.
Qiao Ning was inherently gentle and found it very difficult to refuse people.
She had no choice but to compromise, “Alright, Mr. Su, I will toast you.”
She lifted the glass slightly, and then she tossed the wine back in one go.
Su Zigao, however, brazenly stared at her fair face, her rosy lips, her graceful neck, his intentions were all but concealed.
“Good!” Su Zigao applauded and laughed, “Qiao Ning, you really give me face today. Here’s a gift for you, you must accept it.”
Su Zigao opened a square jewelry box, inside was a diamond necklace.
Qiao Ning was startled, and refused shaking her head, “No need Mr. Su, I can’t accept your gift. I have had the drink, now it is time for me to leave!”
As Qiao Ning rose to leave, she felt a wave of dizziness.
She leaned on the table forcefully, groaning, “So dizzy… ”
“My goodness, you must be drunk.” Kong Minjuan quickly had her sit down, and said while laughing, “Qiao Ning, rest if you’re drunk, mom will go out to make a phone call.”
At this moment, Qiao Ning finally understood — she had been manipulated by her own mother!
And it was the second time!
“Mom— ” Qiao Ning raised her head in grief, “Why are you doing this to me?”
“There you go, starting to blabber now that you’re drunk. I’ll be back soon after a quick call.” Kong Minjuan casually dismissed.
“No, don’t go…” Qiao Ning tried to grasp her, but Kong Minjuan swiftly left.
She rose to follow but a fierce bout of dizziness caused her to stumble and fall—
Only to be caught by Su Zigao.
Haunted by the sudden closeness of a male body, Qiao Ning struggled, “Let me go, don’t touch me!”
“Qiao Ning, stop making a scene. You’re drunk, I’ll take you to rest,” Su Zigao suddenly lifted her up and headed towards the inner rest-room.
“No, let me go…” Qiao Ning struggled in fear, but her body was limp and powerless, unable to shake free.
And suddenly, her body thrown onto the bed.
Then she saw Su Zigao standing by the bed, a terrifying look in his eyes as he began unbuttoning his shirt…
