Chapter 808 - Chapter 808 Chapter 808 Getting Anxious for Qiao Yun

Chapter 808: Chapter 808: Getting Anxious for Qiao Yun Chapter 808: Chapter 808: Getting Anxious for Qiao Yun Jiang Jing only felt as if her throat was stuck, her face changing colors in a most dramatic fashion.

She had never thought that Qiao Yun would be Su Qingyan’s cousin.

Now that she realized her mistake, thinking about her own words just now made her feel dizzy, with a heavy, suffocating feeling in her chest.

She felt really choked up.

Back in Yuncheng, she had always been the child that others spoke highly of, and she took pride in that.

However, after going to Shangjing City and meeting Qiao Yun, she realized there was someone even more outstanding than her.

Qiao Yun was academically successful and was even Old Master Li’s girlfriend. Even Professor Xu favored her, and now she was also related to Su Qingyan.

In every aspect, she envied her.

Jiang Jing seldom envied someone so much, which was why she had challenged Qiao Yun. She wanted to prove she was not inferior to Qiao Yun, wanting the attention that was on Qiao Yun to return to her.

But now, the most important thing was the matter at hand…

Jiang Jing’s eyes held back annoyance as she lowered her head and explained softly, “Brother Yan, I didn’t know, it was a misunderstanding, I was just too anxious. Anyone seeing the person they like being so close to someone else would find it unbearable.”

Though she explained herself this way, she didn’t say a single word of apology to Qiao Yun.

“You think it’s okay to talk nonsense just because you don’t know?” Su Qingyan’s eyebrows and eyes were cold. Apart from his family, he never showed a hint of tenderness to anyone else, brutally telling Jiang Jing.

“I didn’t make it clear to you before, so I’ll tell you once more, even if I get married in the future, my wife will never be you!”

Jiang Jing suddenly looked up at Su Qingyan, her eyes filled with embarrassment. She had known Su Qingyan for so long and had never heard him say such heartless words, and she said in a hoarse voice, “Do you have to be so heartless?”

“Right, your actions have already disrupted my life. If it happens again, I won’t hesitate to call the police,” Su Qingyan said with a composed demeanor, his handsome face showing no emotional fluctuation, as if the person in front of him was just a stranger.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yun looked up at the indifferent Su Qingyan.

Frankly, she didn’t understand Su Qingyan very well, but Lu Zhanxing had told her that Su Qingyan was the type who wouldn’t concern himself with other people’s issues, wouldn’t trouble himself nor be troubled by others.

He kept a low profile, making it hard for anyone to notice him.

Now, speaking such words, he must be trying to stand up for her.

Qiao Yun’s opinion of Su Qingyan changed slightly, feeling a bit closer to him.

Jiang Jing obviously also understood why Su Qingyan was being so ruthless, and suppressing the humiliation rising to her heart, said with eyes full of disgrace, “So you just want me to apologize to her, fine, I’ll apologize.”

But Su Qingyan displayed a gentle smile, “Too late.”

Jiang Jing opened her mouth, wanting to justify her behavior further.

Su Qingyan didn’t want to waste any more time on her and, with a soft look in his eyes, said to Qiao Yun, “Cousin, let’s go in, or they will come out looking for us.”

“Okay.”

Qiao Yun cast a deep glance at Jiang Jing before withdrawing her gaze, obediently following Su Qingyan.

Jiang Jing watched them, feeling a sense of defeat, her fingertips digging fiercely into her palm, her eyes filling with aggrieved mist.

All her life had been smooth sailing, and the only few moments of misfortune she encountered were all because of Qiao Yun.

Was this person a curse?

Jiang Jing refused to be superstitious. She took out the USB drive that Han Luo had given her from her pocket, a flash of determination in her eyes.

…

Su Qingyan frowned slightly, asking with some concern, “Cousin, did something happen between you and Jiang Jing?”

Qiao Yun didn’t say much, dragging her words as she told him, “She wants to be Xu Long’s disciple and misunderstood that Xu Long wanted to take me on.”

“Just because of this?” Su Qingyan was astonished, but then he thought about how conceited Jiang Jing was. Being rejected by Professor Xu, it was indeed possible she would turn her hostility towards Qiao Yun.

“Yeah.” Qiao Yun nodded, continuing, “She wants to compete with me.”

Su Qingyan’s brows furrowed even more tightly, “Compete in what?”

Qiao Yun hummed, explaining, “The Tianqi assessment, to see who will be successfully admitted.”

Su Qingyan hadn’t expected it to be this, a knot of worry forming in his heart. His expression darkened as he said, “She’s bullying you!”

“Ah?” Qiao Yun didn’t understand, how it wasn’t her bullying Jiang Jing.

Su Qingyan’s mood was heavy, his brow still furrowed as he said, “Cousin, you don’t understand Jiang Jing. She was able to successfully crack viruses before she was even ten years old and is very adept in information technology. Beijing University took notice of her when she was in junior high.”

Jiang Jing’s mother wanted everyone to know how excellent her daughter was, coupled with Ye Miaoshan, who often mentioned Jiang Jing to him before her incident, which is why he knew all this.

Qiao Yun said indifferently, “Oh…”

Seeing her take it so lightly, Su Qingyan became even more anxious on her behalf, “You are being too rash in agreeing to compete with her. What if you lose? By the way, did you make a bet?”

“We did.” Qiao Yun’s voice was listless, “If I lose, I leave this circle.”

Su Qingyan was greatly concerned; the stake was too harsh. Worried, he said, “Cousin, you were too impulsive to agree to her.”

Qiao Yun’s nose wrinkled slightly, “She was impolite.”

Professor Qiao believed himself to be a very kind elder, always showing a degree of tolerance towards the younger generation.

With someone like Jiang Jing, she usually wouldn’t bother.

But this time it was different. Jiang Jing was impolite to her uncle and disrespectful towards the elderly (Professor Xu). That was unacceptable, so a lesson was in order.

Su Qingyan didn’t know Qiao Yun had another plan in mind. Just based on Qiao Yun just now publicly acknowledging him as her brother, he couldn’t simply ignore the situation, “There’s more than half a month until the assessment, I’ll have a talk with Jiang Jing.”

He only knew about Qiao Yun’s participation in the Star Cup and was unfamiliar with her technical skills, whereas he knew quite a lot about Jiang Jing’s achievements. Therefore, he was worried Qiao Yun would lose this competition.

Qiao Yun shook her head, “No need.”

“Don’t be afraid of troubling me.” Su Qingyan used to think Qiao Yun was cold, but now he found her to be much too obedient.

“Really, there’s no need.” Qiao Yun accepted Su Qingyan’s kindness, confidently saying, “She will regret it.”

Su Qingyan watched Qiao Yun’s dark, bright eyes and for some reason, his confidence in her multiplied suddenly.

Qiao Yun, a beat slow, caught on, “Don’t you believe in me?”

Su Qingyan paused momentarily but quickly advised, “If it’s not going well, please don’t be stubborn.”

“Alright,” Qiao Yun responded offhandedly.

Su Qingyan thought to himself that while his cousin was non-confrontational, she was quite stubborn as well.

He was genuinely afraid she would stumble, which would be rather embarrassing.

But now that she was so determined, they could only wait and see.

As for the bet, he’d have to think of a way to resolve it. If she lost, would she really leave the circle?

Su Qingyan exhaled deeply, pulling his thoughts back, then said very seriously to Qiao Yun, “Cousin, there’s something very important I want to tell you.”

Seeing his grave expression, Qiao Yun tensed up as well, “Go ahead.”
