Chapter 1044: Why Didn't He Treat Qiao Mianmian Better Before?

"I promise, she won't dare to retaliate."

Qiao Mianmian looked at him blankly for a while before asking, "Mr. Gong, you're…"

She never expected that Gong Zeli would appear at this time.

And he even helped her slap that woman.

Was he standing up for her?

But their relationship wasn't good enough for him to do that.

Qiao Mianmian frowned as she thought about the rumors about them online.

She and Gong Zeli had just gotten into a scandal.

If someone caught the scene just now and found out that Gong Zeli helped her, another scandal would probably ensue.

By then, it would be hard to clear things up.

If the first time was a scandal, the second time was a scandal, and the third or fourth time was a scandal.

Especially since Gong Zeli wasn't a busybody.

If it had nothing to do with her, would he stand up for her again and again?

Even she couldn't understand it, let alone others.
