She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment Ⅱ - Chapter 437

Chapter 437: So It Was Her! (7)

Qiao Lian looked at the other four team members.

Both The Godfather and The Deputy Godfather were gentle, honest and good-natured people. Although Su Penghao would be at loggerheads with her every now and then, the rest of them were respectful towards her or, at the very least, appear so, even if they did not trust her gaming ability.

Yet right at this moment, they did not contradict Su Penghao.

Their reaction made Qiao Lian understand where she stood.

They were suspicious of her.

Qiao Lian felt as though there was a heavy stone crushing her chest.

She kept quiet.

As he had said those harsh words to her, Su Penghao seemed to have come back to his senses. After resurrecting, his impulsiveness ceased.

But the disadvantageous position they had been put into during the game opening was now clearly manifesting.

Qiao Lian’s frown deepened as she studied the situation.

Their poor situation kept worsening.

At this point, Qiao Lian called for a short break.

Apart from Su Penghao, even The Godfather and The Deputy Godfather had been beaten down to a sorrowful state.

Su Penghao looked up and gave Qiao Lian a vicious stare as the break commenced. “Why did you call for a break? We have hope of winning this round!”

Qiao Lian kept her silence, but one of the team members⁠—the only woman—Ancestor White Bones stood up and said, “I need to go to the restroom.”

The competition continued after Ancestor White Bones came back from the restroom.

Perhaps the short break gave everyone a little time to regain their sanity.

Given that they were all professional players, they managed to very quickly adjust their strategy.

Self-protection was secondary, defence was the priority.

As the game slowly progressed and neared the end, the team leader of King team spoke, “We’ll finish them up on this round. Everyone, charge!”

The critical moment had arrived.

Once more the two teams came into confrontation. This time, Su Penghao and his team were at a disadvantage and they could easily lose the match.

But it was at this critical moment that they found a lapse in the enemy team. Ancestor White Bones managed to kill off their key champion and following that, it was five players up against four. CQ managed to wipe out the enemy players!

And with this, the team won the match.

It was a dramatic turn of events and the live audience could be heard gasping in surprise.

It was too exciting!

The professional players’ executions had been fast, furious, and too astonishing.

Towards the end, Su Penghao took off his earpiece, threw it on the table and jumped up aggressively as the team claimed its victory.

The Godfather and The Deputy Godfather gave each other a tight hug and walked over to Ancestor White Bones. “Ancestor White Bones, credit goes to you for the third round!”

Ancestor White Bones quietly nodded.

–

After the competition ended, the team went back to the villa in high spirits.

Upon entering the villa, Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan noted that Su Penghao stood there, glowering.

Qiao Lian didn’t have a chance to get a word in before Su Penghao spoke.

He minced none of his words as he addressed Shen Liangchuan directly, “There will be only one of us in this club⁠—it’s either her or me!”

As he said this, everyone in the room fell silent.

The joyful atmosphere brought about by their victory was now gone.

Everyone looked at Shen Liangchuan simultaneously.

Qiao Lian bit her lower lip and straightened her posture stubbornly.

Indeed, Shen Liangchuan said without a moment of hesitation, “It cannot not be her.”

Su Penghao lashed out angrily, “Even at this point, you take her side. Fine. If she’s not leaving, then I’ll go!”
