Chapter 885 - Chapter 885 Chapter 885 It Seems That Someone Is Misbehaving

Chapter 885: Chapter 885 It Seems That Someone Is Misbehaving Chapter 885: Chapter 885 It Seems That Someone Is Misbehaving Xu Qiao offered a vague explanation, “Jingjing and her made a bet, which was to see who could be admitted to Tianqi first. I don’t know if she got scared or what, but during the assessment period, she tampered with something, resulting in Jingjing’s failure to be selected and forcing Jingjing to leave the academic community. Now everyone is waiting to see Jingjing’s jokes. If it weren’t for meeting you, Jingjing might really have had to leave the circle.”

As she spoke, she feigned a worried and distressed expression, hoping to elicit Fu Yun’s sympathy.

Fu Yun’s brow furrowed deeply; she had not expected Jiang Jing to have had such an experience.

Jiang Jing saw Xu Qiao trying to say more and immediately stopped her, “Mom, there’s no need to say more, it’s all in the past, and I wasn’t that eager to go to the Tianqi Research Institute.”

Xu Qiao seized the opportunity to say, “If you ask me, I think the Huo Research Institute has more prospects than Tianqi Research Institute. Jingjing, you need to study hard and later repay Mrs. Huo’s kindness and recognition.”

Although it was wrong for her to have slandered Qiao Yun in the past, she had never given up suspecting that Qiao Yun had sabotaged during the assessment.

Now she brought up this matter not only to preemptively strike and prove her own innocence, to avoid Fu Yun hearing any rumors later and taking a dislike to them.

The second reason was to curry favor with Fu Yun.

Huo’s and Tianqi were competitors, and she believed that Fu Yun surely did not like Tianqi.

Fu Yun had wondered why Jiang Jing, being so outstanding, had not been selected by Tianqi. Now that she knew the reason, she looked at Jiang Jing with even more pity.

She patted Jiang Jing’s hand, “You’ve been wronged. Do you need me to do something to get justice for you?”

“No need!” Jiang Jing rejected the offer in haste, her mind a bit chaotic, and she laughed dryly a few times, “It’s better to forgive and forget; let’s just let it go.”

Xu Qiao snorted, “She’s definitely jealous that you’re better than her.”

Jiang Jing cast a subtle glance at Xu Qiao, signaling her to stop talking.

Choked, Xu Qiao finally shut up.

“You’re just too kind-hearted.” Fu Yun felt increasingly that Jiang Jing was pitiful and her gaze towards Qiao Yun carried a faint disdain.

How could someone so beautiful be so malicious at heart?

This reminded her again of Fu Yao.

In the past, during a science and technology competition, Fu Yao was sabotaged by someone. She should have won the first place but ended up being eliminated. Fu Yao was distressed for a long time.

Now that Jiang Jing shared a similar experience to Fu Yao, she felt even closer to Jiang Jing.

She assured Jiang Jing, “With your talent, it would be a shame for you to leave the field. Rest assured, as long as I’m around, no one can bully you.”

Jiang Jing was moved, “Auntie Fu, thank you. I will definitely repay you in the future.”

“For something this trivial, there’s no need for repayment.” Fu Yun didn’t need Jiang Jing’s gratitude; she was kind to Jiang Jing because she felt Jiang Jing was like a dear younger sister.

Equally kind, equally talented, equally unfortunate in meeting the wrong people.

She didn’t like Xu Qiao, but she genuinely liked Jiang Jing.

“Auntie Fu, let’s go to the private room. I’m hungry.”

Jiang Jing couldn’t wait to get away from Qiao Yun, lest she come over and ruin the relationship between her and Auntie Fu.

“Alright, let’s go.”

The group headed for the private room.

Qiao Yun had already noticed that the woman at the center of attention seemed not to like her, surrounded by Jiang Jing and Xu Qiao.

But it didn’t matter to her.

“Let’s go.” Qiao Yun tugged at Su Qingqing’s sleeve.

“Okay.” Su Qingqing wondered internally; what were that group of people trying to do with their occasional stealthy looks?

Could it be that Jiang Jing was up to her tricks again?

But since everyone had already left, she could not confirm her suspicions.

…

Inside the private room.

The dishes had been served, and Su Qingqing enthusiastically served Qiao Yun, “Eat more; look how thin you’ve gotten. You didn’t eat well in the countryside, did you?”

Lu Shiran and Li Miao looked at each other oddly. They were actually quite enjoying the food and high-tech pleasures in the ‘countryside’; it was blissfully content for them.

Qiao Yun was quite obedient, eating whatever Su Qingqing served her, and in the meantime, she also received a message from Li Hanzhou asking where she was.

She casually sent a photo of the meal and then continued to polish off the dishes Su Qingqing had served her.

Su Qingqing narrowed her eyes, feeling utterly delighted. She could only feed her sister during this period, as she wouldn’t be able to do so once she returned to Beijing.

It seemed that wasn’t quite right, though.

She was going to attend university in Beijing.

With that thought, Su Qingqing picked up vegetables with even more enthusiasm.

Lu Shiran was not pleased. As a brother, how could he be outdone? He was the one who loved his sister the most!

He put down his chopsticks, picked up the serving chopsticks, and began diligently offering Qiao Yun food, “Sister, eat mine, mine smells better.”

“It’s all from the same dish. How could yours smell any better?” Su Qingqing laughed. “Cousin, eat mine, mine’s fresher.”

Qiao Yun looked at her brimming bowl: “…”

She couldn’t help but get a headache: “Enough, I can’t eat anymore if you keep adding.”

“Is that enough?” Su Qingqing displayed a regretful face, no longer continuing to serve.

Lu Shiran reluctantly put down his chopsticks, “Sister, just tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll help you get it.”

Qiao Yun indicated that she was not disabled, she had hands.

Li Miao watched Qiaoqiao being spoiled by her brother and sister.

Sigh.

She felt like a lemon right now.

When the meal was almost over, Su Qingqing finally brought up the important matter: “Sister, is the countryside fun?”

“Mhm,” Qiao Yun nodded.

Su Qingqing spoke slowly: “I see, big sister really wants to go too.”

Without hesitation, Qiao Yun said, “Sure.”

“Ah?” Su Qingqing was flummoxed.

Qiao Yun told her, “I’ll take you.”

Su Qingqing felt a little overwhelmed with honor: “I can go?”

Qiao Yun generously stated, “Of course, next time we go back, I’ll take you.”

Su Qingqing: ??? Is it that easy?

So what was the point of her planning those accidental encounters before?

Su Qingqing wasn’t stupid. Like Su Qingyan, she had previously felt that the countryside might not be simple, which is why they were being so secretive.

And now she’d just been given permission.

She chuckled inwardly, it seemed she had overthought things.

Lu Shiran said with profound implications, “Su sister, you need to mentally prepare for when that time comes.”

Su Qingqing: ??? What does that mean?

Even after finishing the meal, Su Qingqing still hadn’t figured out what Lu Shiran’s words meant.

At that moment, Qiao Yun’s phone rang, it was from Pei Yao.

She stood up, told them she needed to take the call, and then stepped out of the private room.

Just as Qiao Yun was about to press the answer button, her body was suddenly bumped into. Instinctively steadying the person who had bumped into her, she looked up to see who it was and paused.

Seeing the pained expression on the person’s face, she asked, “Are you okay?”

Fu Yun took a moment to recover, his headache subsiding, then waved his hand, “I’m fine, thank…”

His words halted midway.

Fu Yun furrowed his brows, “Why is it you.”

Qiao Yun tilted her head slightly, “You know me?”

Fu Yun took a few steps back, his expression somewhat cold, “I don’t know you, but I’m aware of you, you’re the one who caused Jiang Jing to be rejected by Tianqi.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yun’s brows slightly knitted.

Oh, it seemed someone had been naughty.
