Chapter 546: The Grand Final (26)
Sun Linan frowned as soon as she spoke.
Of course, King Team could wait for next season’s competition, but his intentions to present a gift for Qiao Lian today had been thwarted!
There was a big difference between gifting a champion team and gifting a runner-up.
Sun Linan glanced at Qiao Lian and sighed.
Since they had come to this point in time, the gift still had to be presented.
Hence, he immediately looked at Qiao Lian. “Qiao Lian, I’m giving you a big present today.”
Qiao Lian was already stunned.
From what Purple Fairy had just said to Sun Linan…
Her pupils shrank as she turned sharply to look at Sun Linan. “It was you who established King Team?”
Seeing her surprised expression, he said rather proudly, “Yes, it was me. Didn’t you want to establish a team years ago? You even told me that it was your dream. So I established such team.”
He stopped, scratched his head and said sheepishly, “Initially, I was expecting them to secure the champion title and then give you the team as a present. But it seems like CQ Team was a tad aggressive today. But if you want, you can guide them—”
Qiao Lian and Purple Fairy were stunned by what he was saying.
The latter had only then realized that Qiao Lian was standing nearby.
But the meaning behind what Sun Linan was saying…
The reason he had established King Team was because he wanted to give the team to Forget Chuan?
Surely he couldn’t be doing this!
If from the very start his reason for establishing the club was to gift it to Forget Chuan, why had she done all these things?
She was flabbergasted.
Qiao Lian too stared at Sun Linan in disbelief.
She thought of how Purple Fairy had been spending his money without restrain.
She remembered the time that she had even wanted to buy the villa because of what Purple Fairy was doing, how she had thought in her heart that the investor was such a complete fool.
And then she looked at this complete fool standing before her right now.
Qiao Lian was absolutely speechless.
Especially when Sun Linan thought that the look on her face was because of how moved she was. Hence, he said a little shyly, “Qiao Lian, you don’t have to feel embarrassed. We’ve been good friends since a very young age. There’s no need to feel shy about accepting the team. Besides, I—”
“Stop!”
Qiao Lian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
She had wanted so badly for the team to come in first, but time and again they had been held back by Purple Fairy’s unscrupulous ways.
It was hard not to hate her.
But now she realized that the money this person had been spending to stir up all this havoc… came from Sun Linan?
Qiao Lian had never been so mad at Sun Linan!
Especially how Purple Fairy’s interference had caused Ancestor White Bones to be found by her family and, as a result, she had missed her opportunity to play in the grand finals.
Qiao Lian wished she could throw Sun Linan a few hard punches.
This fool! Was he some sort of curse meant to ruin her?
She was heaving with anger now.
And still, Sun Linan continued, “Hey, why are you so worked up? Don’t be so worked up, it’s only a team—”
Qiao Lian glared at him.
She was completely speechless.
At this point, Su Penghao ran up to her. “Coach Qiao, hurry up, it’s our turn to receive the award!”
When Qiao Lian heard this, she turned around, extending her hand in both helplessness and fury, and tapped Sun Linan on his chest. “You… I’ll have to give it to you!”
Then, she turned and strode back to the award ceremony.
Sun Linan stood there staring blankly, not quite understanding the situation. He turned and looked at Purple Fairy. “What was that reaction from Qiao Lian? Too happy? But how was it that she looked angry? That shouldn’t be the case! And how did Su Penghao address her?”
