Chapter 300: Chapter 300: Quite Good, Manipulated You in the Name of Friendship

After hanging up the phone, Sang Qiao’s fingers flew quickly as she typed into the chat box.

Meng Jiahe sat quietly beside her, not daring to interrupt, yet inwardly she cursed Sang Nanfeng over and over again for truly being despicable and shameless!

Although she had guessed before, it was all just speculation, but now it was different, Qiaoqiao remembered everything!

After Sang Qiao sent all the details to Shangguan Yuan, she finally closed her phone, her tone slow, with a hint of self-doubt, “Did Si Chenli and I… get our marriage certificate?”

“Yes, you were even clingy to Boss Si, constantly wanting kisses, hugs, and being carried around~ ”

Meng Jiahe blinked, a hint of a suggestive look flitting across her face as she gazed at Sang Qiao.

“Cough… I regained my memory; I didn’t become foolish,” coughed Sang Qiao lightly.

“Come on, you guys are married. You’re not as clingy as I said, but imagine how guilty and sorry you would be for Boss Si if you hadn’t gotten the certificate or had a wedding by now.”

Meng Jiahe chuckled dryly; her previous words were just a joke, not expecting to fool Qiaoqiao.

“Yes, thanks to what you said.” Sang Qiao smiled, the girl who had nervously held her household registration booklet because of Ah He’s words, then boldly went to find Si Chenli to propose getting the certificate herself, she remembered.

“No problem.”

“How long have you and Shangguan Yuan been talking?”

“Just a few days, I didn’t even know he liked me, I always thought we were just like brothers.”

Meng Jiahe couldn’t help but recall the day she got annoyed by Shangguan Yuan, initially thinking it was because their brotherly bond was offended, but now it seemed… more like jealousy.

“Yeah, nicely done, manipulating you under the guise of friendship.” Sang Qiao raised an eyebrow, evidently impressed by Shangguan Yuan.

He’s quite the charmer.

“Qiaoqiao, I think instead of teasing me, you might want to think about how you’ll explain things to Boss Si.”

Meng Jiahe remembered being lectured by Shangguan Yuan for paying too much attention to another man’s hemorrhoids and inwardly groaned; she had paid a “heavy price” for caring about Chen Ling’s brother.

Her mouth still hurt, kissing really shouldn’t last too long.

Sang Qiao looked confused, “Explain what?”

“You got caught on camera delivering hemorrhoid cream to Chen Ling, it’s my fault for asking you to deliver it, good luck tonight,” Meng Jiahe said with a pseudo-sad face, but couldn’t hide the smile stretching from ear to ear!

Sang Qiao didn’t believe that the securely packed black bag could have been photographed; after browsing the trending searches on her phone, she twitched her lips.

“Chen Ling’s brother is shy; he must be feeling super awkward right now, the whole internet is concerned whether his hemorrhoids hurt or not, but his fans have increased a lot, wish I hadn’t cared about him in hindsight, all in all, I’ve made things worse for both of you.”

Meng Jiahe wasn’t sure whether to feel happy or sad for Chen Ling’s brother, as the fans came at the cost of pain, which was… pretty sad.

“No worries, it’s easy to explain to Si Chenli.” Sang Qiao put down her phone, but wasn’t quite sure herself.

But the only time the man got jealous, he just pushed her to get the certificate; now that they were legally married, Si Chenli should be easier to appease, right?

“I don’t see it that way,” Meng Jiahe smirked like a mischievous aunt.

Sang Qiao: “…”

Sang Nanfeng had been staying in the old house since the company’s downfall; the money he had was all spent, and he had no ways or means to recover anything.

Mr. Sang Senior was furious with his eldest grandson’s actions, yet he couldn’t truly kick him out.

“You tell me honestly, does Qiaoqiao not remembering some things have anything to do with you? Did you really bribe that hypnotist that day?”

“Grandpa, how many times do you need to ask? If I said no, then it’s no.”

Sang Nanfeng replied impatiently as he scrolled through trending topics on his phone, feeling even more upset that Qiaoqiao could care about a stranger but wouldn’t spare a bit of kindness for him.

If Qiaoqiao had shown even the slightest concern for him, he would accept anything she offered.

Just like the elderly-style down jacket she bought that day, he cherished it and would wear it in winter.

“Mr. Sang, it’s bad, there are police at the door looking for Mr. Sang, saying they have firm evidence and need to take him away.”

“What?”

“Hello, excuse me, are you Sang Nanfeng? Please come with us, you are suspected of kidnapping and hypnotizing another person.”

As the words fell, Sang Nanfeng did not move, letting the handcuffs be placed on his wrists; he couldn’t help but want to laugh, sure that Qiaoqiao must have remembered everything.

“You…you said you didn’t do it? Monster! How could you do this to your sister, do you know that day was her wedding!” Mr. Sang Senior could hardly believe it.

“It’s because she is my sister that I don’t want to lose her.” With that, Sang Nanfeng was taken away.

“Bastard!” Mr. Sang Senior collapsed on the sofa, his eyes red with rage.

Meanwhile, at Sang Group, Sang Siyang also sent the evidence he had gathered about his older brother buying off a hypnotist to Qiaoqiao.

Although the secluded road had no surveillance, the recording pen and definitive evidence left Sang Nanfeng with no room for denial, and he didn’t even try to defend himself.

The news spread quickly.

The emotions of the Sang Family were complex; Sang Qingran remembered the brain CT scan and knew he couldn’t surpass Siyang; he couldn’t ruthlessly expose his older brother.

Even though he was the first to notice something was fishy, Qiaoqiao didn’t remember those memories but wasn’t hurt.

“Were those two days just a fleeting dream, never to happen again?” Sang Shen’s voice trembled as he remembered how close Qiaoqiao had been to him during those two days.

“Yes, it won’t happen again.” Sang Siyang gripped the documents tightly, telling himself that it was enough, he should be satisfied.

At least he had experienced those two days when Qiaoqiao forgave him.

“Don’t get that bastard a lawyer; let them judge him as they see fit.” Mr. Sang Senior said resolutely.

Once this was said, despite a momentary softening of their hearts, no actual actions were taken to help Sang Nanfeng.

“We didn’t provide him any help.” Sang Siyang coldly spoke out, voicing his true feelings. From the moment his older brother manipulated their own siblings, he was deeply disappointed.

Furthermore, because of his older brother, Qiaoqiao nearly lost her happiness, which made him even more resentful.

The human heart is biased, something he had always understood.

Between his older brother and Qiaoqiao, he would always side with Qiaoqiao, so he could not forgive his brother.

“Yet… will this make him…” Mrs. Sang covered her mouth, her voice choked; after all, he was the child she raised herself, and it was a lie to say it didn’t hurt.

Moreover, would Mr. Si lash out, and if he brings out more evidence elevating Nanfeng’s crimes, wouldn’t Nanfeng have to stay in there even longer?

Sang Siyang felt displeased, “Mom, being sympathetic to older brother now is unfair to Qiaoqiao.”
