She was imposing and forceful. She asked her questions quickly, not giving him too much time to think, hence the reporter was inevitably quite stunned.
Before he could say anything, Xia Yehua interrupted him. Pointing her finger at the reporter, she interrogated, "Speak up! Who sent you to set Xiao Qiao up?! How dare you set us up, you sc*m!"
The reporter gulped nervously. He had no idea that the situation would turn out this way. He quickly looked at Qiao Lian and said, "Ms. Qiao, I wouldn't look at it this way. We've been long-time friends, of course we'd be straight-to-the-point. There's no need to be too cautious in that way."
Qiao Lian cast her gaze down and avoided the topic of 'long-time friends.' She looked at Shen Xiu and said, "So all of this so-called evidence doesn't amount to much. It is completely possible that someone's out to set me up. And if there is no direct and irrefutable evidence, then you cannot insist it was me."
