Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband - Chapter 2147

However, the passersby basically voted for Qiao Weiyang.
As Qiao Weiyang did not have enough fans, she only won with a slight advantage.
When Qiao Jierou heard the news, she was very surprised.
“Impossible!” Qiao Jierou was angry and uncomfortable. “How could it be her?”
Jiang Lin said regretfully, “Because this is a public vote…”
Qiao Jierou clenched her fists. “I was always the winner in the past!”
Her appearance tonight was based on a look from the past that was highly praised. It also stunned many people. Were the voters blind?
She flipped open her cell phone and saw the first comment that made her unable to breathe. [To be honest, Qiao Jierou’s style is really good, but for some reason, I feel that something is missing.]
There were more than 200,000 likes for this comment.
What was missing?
What was missing? Everyone was just discussing. There was no clear answer.
Qiao Jierou and Jiang Lin did not know what was missing.
Jiang Lin sent a message to persuade her. [Don’t look at your cell phone for now. It’ll affect your mood. Just finish the event in peace.]
Finally, the event ended. The reporters surrounded the artistes they were interested in and interviewed them on topics they were concerned about.
Among all the reporters, there were the most people surrounding Qiao Jierou. Almost no one went to Qiao Weiyang’s side.
Qiao Jierou’s smile finally became real. The votes from the outside world were nothing. What mattered was the attitude of the people at the venue location!
“Jierou, you’re wearing Fiona’s evening gown tonight. You’re going to work closely with this brand next, right?”
“Yes, please look forward to it.” Qiao Jierou raised her chin slightly, her proud expression obvious.
“But have you heard that Fiona announced bankruptcy tonight?”
Amidst the commotion, Qiao Jierou heard the reporter’s words.
In her daze, she thought she had misheard.
The reporter said, “Fiona is bankrupt!”
Qiao Jierou’s vision went blank for a moment. She could not believe what she had just heard.
She had just signed a contract with Fiona. She would soon have a new path in the fashion industry.
When she got dressed earlier, Fiona was still doing fine.
How could such a huge company go bankrupt just like that?
Qiao Jierou completely lost control of her expression, and her smile became much weaker. “I’m sorry. I still have something to do. Please let me leave first.”
It turned out that the reason why so many reporters were surrounding her was not because she was amazing or attracted too much attention. It was just that when the reporters received the news of Fiona’s bankruptcy, they wanted to see her embarrassed state immediately!
Qiao Jierou tried to leave, but the reporters kept chasing her.
Jiang Lin and a man walked over and protected Qiao Jierou before finally saving her.
“Jierou, can you share more with us?”
“Can you talk to us more?”
The reporters, who only wanted to see the world in chaos, did not care much about her and were unscrupulous.
The man turned around and said to the reporters, “Whether Fiona goes bankrupt or not is their own internal problem. Jierou is just wearing the brand’s clothes and doesn’t have any responsibility for the company. She’s wearing Fiona’s clothes during this important event as a show of friendship. There’s no other meaning.”
“So you’re saying that Qiao Jierou knew that Fiona was about to go bankrupt, but she still wore their clothes to promote the brand? Then what’s the use of publicity?” The reporter’s question hit the nail on the head.
“As I said, we have no direct connection to the brand’s operations. Jierou only wore the clothes that the brand lent her as a friend.”
These words were obviously meant to save Qiao Jierou’s dignity, but at least they stopped the reporters’ fierce momentum.
The man continued, “Since everyone is so concerned about the operation of a brand, why don’t you pay more attention to the brand named Ocean? That’s Jierou’s own brand. A series of new designs will be released soon. Please pay more attention to it.”
His appearance finally turned the tide and saved Qiao Jierou from the reporters.
Jiang Lin immediately posted on Weibo: [Jierou’s own clothing brand, Ocean, is about to release a collection of new designs. Please pay attention and support.]
The fans naturally felt that Qiao Jierou was too loyal. She knew that Fiona was about to go bankrupt, yet she still wore a gown from that brand to promote it.
However, in the industry, this matter had almost become a joke. Qiao Jierou was originally the most dazzling person at this event, but now, she was the most embarrassed.
The man saved Qiao Jierou from the reporters and quickly walked toward the parking lot.
Qiao Weiyang was also in the parking lot when she saw Qiao Jierou walking over.
With a mocking smile on her face, she looked at Qiao Jierou indifferently.
Qiao Jierou had suffered such a huge loss tonight and immediately realized that someone might be behind this.
However, she denied it on second thought. Qiao Weiyang could borrow clothes, but how could she destroy a company?
“Sister, haven’t you left yet?” Qiao Jierou walked toward Qiao Weiyang.
“How can I leave before seeing you embarrass yourself?”
“You!”
“What do you think? Do you find Fiona’s gown easy to wear?” Qiao Weiyang asked with a smile.
Qiao Jierou felt a lingering fear. “Were you really the one who caused Fiona to go bankrupt?”
The man beside him couldn’t help but say, “How could Qiao Weiyang have possibly done that? At most, she only knew a little internal information.”
This man’s name was Xu Changfeng, an employee in the Qiao family’s company. He had always been loyal to Qia Jierou.
He had long disliked Qiao Weiyang. Now that he had an opportunity, he naturally had to stand up for Qiao Jierou.
“Qiao Jierou, not all the things you snatch will be good for you. It’s the same with Fiona and the others.” Qiao Weiyang’s voice was cold and mocking.
Qiao Jierou smiled. “But so what? Can’t I snatch it? What I snatch is mine.”
“If you like snatching so much, why don’t you snatch some dog sh*t?”
Qiao Jierou’s expression changed. Xu Changfeng said angrily, “Qiao Weiyang, watch your mouth!”
“Xu Changfeng, instead of trying to control my mouth, you might as well control yourself! Do you really think you can win Qiao Jierou’s heart? Do you really think that as long as you work hard for Qiao Jierou, she’ll be grateful to you?
“When I was in the Qiao family, you were always yelling at me but I ignored you because I felt that there was no need to waste my breath on you. One shouldn’t argue with flies and mosquitoes! But now, I’m no longer in the Qiao family. If you say another word, don’t blame me for being rude!”
When Qiao Weiyang said this, her tone was cold.
