Chapter 426: Mr. Qiao Was Angry
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Ambassador Gao was a bit surprised. He and Qin Yue were friends for years. His granddaughter fell into trouble yesterday and Qin Yue asked him to do him a favor. He had agreed for the sake of their friendship. Did his granddaughter make trouble again?
“I don’t understand. What do you mean, Mr. Qiao?” Ambassador Gao pretended not to understand Qiao Liang’s words.
Qiao Liang gazed at him, turned up the corners of his mouth and took the box back, saying with a smile, “Ambassador Gao, since you’re in such good terms with Grandpa Qin that you can even put aside your wife’s life for his granddaughter, I can only give up. Then I’ll be going.”
Ambassador Gao paused, hurriedly grabbed the box and said to Qiao Liang fawningly, “Mr. Qiao, don’t get me wrong. Qin Yue is just an acquaintance. I asked you because I didn’t know what you wanted me to do.”
This Mr. Qiao didn’t save him any face. He was so mysterious that no one could find out about his real identity, his family or anything else about him except that he was the boss of Long Xiao Group.
Qiao Liang looked at Ambassador Gao, relaxed his hand and sat back down, whilst smiling. “I see. I thought you…”
Before Qiao Liang finished, Ambassador Gao hurriedly interrupted him. “No, Qin Yue and I are not friends. Even if we’re, as the ambassador, I won’t play favoritism. I’m so grateful to you that you have given my wife a chance to survive. I certainly won’t refuse you!”
Getting his promise, Qiao Liang smiled. “I’m glad to hear that. Thank you, Ambassador Gao.”
Ambassador Gao looked at the box in his hand and shook his head with a smile. “No, I should thank you, Mr. Qiao.”

“Okay, then I’ll be going.” Having achieved his aim, Qiao Liang took a look at his watch and smiled. “Please don’t bother to see me out.”
Ambassador Gao smiled. “Let me see you out. I’ll send the medicinal herb to the hospital by the way.”
Qiao Liang frowned when he heard this. He stopped his steps and looked back at Ambassador Gao, asking, “Where will your wife have her operation? In China or in France?”
“She took all the operations in France, so this time it’s in France too…” Ambassador Gao answered with a smile.
Qiao Liang frowned, looked at him and pursed his lips. “Only doctors mastering traditional Chinese medicine know how to use this medicinal herb. It will be a waste of this herb if you give it to a doctor who doesn’t know TCM well. Please bear this in mind, Ambassador Gao.”
“I know, but I have no choice.” Ambassador Gao sighed and was about to speak, when Qiao Liang took out a pen, wrote an address on a piece of paper and handed it to Ambassador Gao. “As far as I know, this hospital is not bad. They have the best doctors in this field. If you trust me, you can try this hospital.”
Ambassador Gao looked at the address and smiled. He knew this hospital it was very famous in Paris, and even throughout whole France, but it was a private hospital. He chose a public hospital instead of this one because he was afraid of medical accidents. He looked at Qiao Liang…
Qiao Liang frowned. “Please keep this address. If you trust me, you can try there. If you don’t, it’s also your choice.”
Qiao Liang said and walked outside. Ambassador Gao hurriedly followed him. “Mr. Qiao, don’t take me the wrong way. I surely appreciate you. I’ll take my wife to the hospital you have recommended. I trust you. Thank you for recommending this hospital to me.”

Qiao Liang kept walking expressionlessly and Ambassador Gao kept thanking Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang almost got impatient with his grateful words. He stopped walking and looked back at Ambassador Gao, saying, “Ambassador Gao, you don’t have to thank me. We just helped each other.”
Tang Xi had been waiting for Qiao Liang in the car. The latter walked out of the embassy and got into the car. Ambassador Gao walked out of the embassy behind him and asked his secretary to prepare a car for him, saying that he was going back home to tell his wife the good news.
His secretary looked at the time. The office time of the embassy was almost over. He nodded and went to drive the car. As soon as Ambassador Gao left, Grandpa Qin and his men arrived at the embassy.
In the car, Tang Xi was driving the car and looked at Qiao Liang whose face was dark. She raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, “What happened? You can’t handle the ambassador? He rejected our Young Master?”
Qiao Liang cast a cool glance at Tang Xi as if he was saying how could it be possible?
Tang Xi chuckled. “Then why do you look unhappy?”
“He talked too much.” Qiao Liang frowned.
He was worried that Ambassador Gao would say something that he shouldn’t say.
Tang Xi paused and then realized that Qiao Liang was worrying that Ambassador Gao talked too much and would leak his secret. She tittered. It seemed that he was annoyed by a chatterbox, but…
“Don’t worry. Since he can become an ambassador, he knows what he can and can’t say, so you don’t have to be worried.” Tang Xi took Qiao Liang’s hand. “You must be tired. Let’s go back and take a rest. The harder times lie ahead.”
In the following days, she had to deal with the affairs in the show field, as well as the factory, in addition to the promotion clip. Besides, she still had to deal with Grandpa Qin. Oh, she would be terribly busy in the coming days!
Qiao Liang nodded, tore off his skin mask and threw it aside. Tang Xi looked at him and couldn’t help asking, “Do you wear this when you’re in Long Xiao?”
If he did, then no one in the Long Xiao Group could recognize him when he didn’t wear the mask.
“No, our men know how I really look. We’ll only put on skin masks when we meet outsiders. We’ve worn the skin masks for years, so many people know these are not our real faces, so they won’t suspect our identities.”
He certainly didn’t control the Long Xiao Group with his face.
Tang Xi nodded and knew what his words meant.
“I see.”
