Chapter 877 - Chapter 877 Chapter 877 Suddenly Have a Bad Premonition

Chapter 877: Chapter 877: Suddenly Have a Bad Premonition Chapter 877: Chapter 877: Suddenly Have a Bad Premonition Xu Qiao spoke hesitantly, “I’m not very clear about who the person coming is…”

“Mom,” Jiang Jing said impatiently, “You don’t even know who it is, but you hurried to bring me out. Do you know you look very much like…”

She closed her eyes and swallowed back the words ‘eager to cling to someone powerful, aren’t you afraid of being pointed at?’

She understood that her mother was worried about her, but she didn’t want this kind of concern.

Xu Qiao patted her hand and sighed, “Don’t be in a hurry, let me finish speaking. Although I’m not sure who the person is, I know it’s someone from the Huo Family. They arrived in Yuncheng a couple of days ago, either because of the second young master Huo or because of Tianqi’s new product launch. A large part of this banquet is being held for that person.”

The news of Huo Chi being captured had gone viral in Yuncheng, and everybody was guessing what he had done, until they heard it was because the second young master Huo attempted to kidnap Li Hanzhou’s girlfriend and ultimately suffered the consequences.

This incident made them realize that Li Hanzhou’s regard for Qiao Yun was not as casual as they had guessed.

Especially after Jiang Jing learned about this, she felt very bitter.

The more noticeable Qiao Yun became and the more she was doted on, the more it highlighted Jiang Jing’s lackluster presence.

She maliciously thought it would be good if Qiao Yun really got kidnapped.

That way, no one would bother her, and she wouldn’t have to worry about becoming a laughing stock because of Qiao Yun again.

When this thought surfaced, Jiang Jing startled herself; she couldn’t believe she was capable of such malicious thoughts, as she had never thought this way before and had downright disdained using such methods to scheme against others.

But now…

She found herself changed.

She had become someone who, if necessary, would use any means to get what she wanted.

Jiang Jing looked out the car window, her gaze darkening.

She couldn’t be blamed for becoming like this.

It was all Qiao Yun’s fault, all driven by her.

Xu Qiao muttered, “If the Huo Family people really have come, I wonder if Tianqi’s people will come, and Professor Qiao should be attending this new product launch, right? I’m really curious about Professor Qiao, the elusive figure. It would be great to get acquainted.”

Jiang Jing retorted, “A personage like Professor Qiao wouldn’t spare us a glance.”

Xu Qiao disagreed, “It’s just a professor.”

“Professor Qiao is not just a professor; she has led the country’s technological development and is on the state’s key protection list,” Jiang Jing said. Though she had grievances with Tianqi Research Institute, she still greatly admired Professor Qiao; even her pride had to bow in the presence of Professor Qiao.

Actually, her choosing a career in scientific research was inspired by Professor Qiao.

Xu Qiao indifferently said, “I see…”

She dropped the subject and instructed Jiang Jing, “Just be careful at that time. If you can catch the eyes of the Huo Family members, going to Huo Research Institute would be much easier for you.”

Jiang Jing sounded tired, “I know.”

This behavior of actively marketing herself was somewhat repellent to her.

Thus, while Jiang Jing said this, she actually didn’t take it to heart and lacked enthusiasm for the banquet.

Xu Qiao imagined, “Once you succeed, others will be the ones asking for your favor.”

Although Jiang Family rose through technology, they still fell short compared to Tianqi and Huo Family.

If Jiang Jing could develop better and learn more, she would one day be able to elevate the Jiang Family further.

…

At Yunding Hotel, in the top-floor banquet hall, many people had already arrived.

From time to time, there are banquets held within the circle to foster connections, but this time, most people were there because of the likely arrival of members from the Huo Family.

Xu Qiao was very adept at such events, entering the banquet hall like a flitting butterfly, greeting everyone with a smile.

Jiang Jing followed behind Xu Qiao, and for some reason, though everyone greeted her normally, she always felt their looks were filled with sarcasm.

It was as if they were saying, “Aren’t you the self-proclaimed genius? Aren’t you supposed to be very impressive? How come you were still filtered out by Tianqi?”

Jiang Jing’s complexion grew worse and worse, and she felt increasingly uncomfortable. She forced a smile and said to Xu Qiao, “Mom, I’m going to find Xu Lu.”

Xu Qiao was talking to a lady whose attitude towards her was lukewarm, probably because she held Xu Qiao in contempt after discovering Xu Qiao had been slandering Qiao Yun behind her back.

However, compared to Jiang Jing, she had a much thicker skin, seemingly oblivious to the estrangement in the lady’s eyes, still managing to chat jovially with her.

It wasn’t until Jiang Jing spoke that Xu Qiao turned her head to look at Jiang Jing, and seeing her unenthusiastic demeanor, she asked anxiously, “Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

Usually, such banquets were the highlight for Jiang Jing, but now she was in no mood at all, “I’m fine, maybe it’s because I didn’t sleep well.”

Xu Qiao didn’t probe further, merely nodded and said, “Go and have a seat for a while; I’ll come over after I’ve greeted everyone else.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Jing didn’t stay long and quickly left, walking toward the main doors of the banquet hall.

Once outside, she exhaled deeply, feeling as if the air was fresher, and the uncomfortable feeling vanished.

However, before she could relax, she looked up and saw Su Qingyan’s figure.

The young man was tall and slender, dressed in a formal suit, handsome and mature, radiating a steady charm.

Jiang Jing’s gaze locked firmly on Su Qingyan, unable to move away, her cheeks flushing even redder.

She found herself strange, Su Qingyan had rejected her so many times, yet not only was she not angry, but she felt even more motivated to conquer him.

Jiang Jing bit her lip, straightened her hair, and with a smile on her face, made sure she presented her best side, ready to go up and greet him.

Just as she took a step forward, Su Qingqing suddenly appeared from behind Su Qingyan.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, with her hair in a half ponytail, wearing a white dress, looking ethereal as if she was about to ascend to immortality the next moment.

Many were drawn to Su Qingqing’s pure aura, everyone except Jiang Jing.

She knew all too well how malicious Su Qingqing could be beneath her gentle and kind exterior.

Jiang Jing’s eyelids twitched fiercely, suddenly having a bad premonition.

Indeed.

Su Qingqing’s gaze met hers.

Then, Su Qingqing paused, turned her steps, and walked directly towards her.

Jiang Jing: “…”

As if oblivious to the disgust on Jiang Jing’s face, Su Qingqing floated over and said with a gentle smile, “Jingjing, you finally decided to come out. I’ve been so worried these past days, afraid that you might think too much and harm yourself.”

Su Qingqing spoke loud enough that passersby couldn’t help but turn their gazes towards Jiang Jing’s face.

Why would Miss Jiang think about suicide?

Jiang Jing almost couldn’t hold back, gritting her teeth and retorting, “Spare me your false kindness.”

Su Qingqing pretended to be aggrieved. “Jingjing, I really care about you, especially since it was my cousin who bet with you.”

People around them suddenly realized.

They remembered.
