The action left everyone a bit shocked.
Qi Liu stared at Xu Qiaoqiao, his heart unexpectedly filled with a warm surge.
Xu Qiaoqiao stood in front of him, which meant she had completely accepted him as one of her own.
But... he clenched his fist and gave a bitter smile.
Xiao Qing hadn't anticipated that Xu Qiaoqiao would stand up for him. He scoffed and said, "Am I crazy? Xu Qiaoqiao, do you know what this man has done?!"
Seeing him so angry, Xu Qiaoqiao turned her head in surprise and looked toward Qi Liu.
She then heard Xiao Qing continue, "Did you rush back because you heard that the Emperor Group's project had issues?"
Xu Qiaoqiao nodded. "Right, Li Manni called me, saying there were personnel issues at the Li Family Company..."
Before she could finish, Xiao Qing scoffed again. "Issues? That's putting it nicely. The company's entire senior staff was lured away with high salaries at the critical moment! Now their company has been reduced to an empty shell!!"
