Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Qu Keke Must Learn the Meaning of Defeat

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "How come you’re here too?"

Qu Keke pouted, "Can’t I be? You know I always loved tagging along with my brother and you guys when I was little."

Qiao Xi almost laughed out loud, "But your brother never seemed to like having you around."

Qu Keke puffed out her mouth, "Qiao Xi, you’re mean!"

Qu Jiashu coughed, "She knew I was going to Xiaotang Mountain to have dinner, and she insisted on climbing into my car. I couldn’t drive her away."

After all, his own sister had given up on a married man and set her sights on a golden bachelor. As her brother, he definitely had to support her.

And by the way, use Qiao Xi to build a bridge.

Qiao Xi sat with her back straight, looked up at Qu Jiashu, and smiled slightly, "You don’t have to explain to me."

Qu Jiashu looked sheepish, "Cough, fasten your seatbelt, I’m going to drive."

The car glided away.

After a while, Qu Keke shifted her bottom towards Qiao Xi, "Qiao Xi."

Qiao Xi turned to look at her, her eyes showing some interest.

Long time no see, this young lady actually showed a pleasing expression toward her.

Qiao Xi with an expressionless face, "Speak directly if you have something to say."

Qu Keke felt she was so cold and aloof.

Although she had always been like that.

Qu Keke covered her mouth with her hand, whispered, "Can you give me your brother’s phone number?"

She had even chased him to Yuanyang Technology, but couldn’t even see Chen Jiayan’s face.

Dead before even becoming a soldier.

She really had no other way.

She had to at least make her presence known, right?

Qiao Xi sized her up, "To give someone else’s number to another person, one must first ask the person for their permission."

"Can’t you be a bit more flexible?" Qu Keke was about to go mad, feeling so annoyed and helpless inside.

Qiao Xi was nonchalant, "Okay, then I’ll ask him."

Qu Keke was on the verge of exploding, "I mean for you to give me the number directly!"

"Qu Keke!" Qu Jiashu glanced at them from the rearview mirror, "Mind your tone!"

Don’t you know you’re asking for a favor?

"Please, Sister Xi," Qu Keke hugged Qiao Xi’s arm and even coquettishly shook it a few times.

She was clearly going all out.

Not caring about her own dignity anymore.

She had never begged Qiao Xi before, let alone called her ’Sister Xi’, always calling her by name, with an air of superiority.

So this huge change made Qiao Xi’s skin crawl.

"Don’t be coquettish with me," Qiao Xi said, pushing her away with one finger, standing firm, "He is my brother, not someone else’s. I can only ask him for you, but I can’t decide on my own. That’s respect for others."

She had to know Chen Jiayan’s attitude.

"Fine, then fine," Qu Keke was a little upset, but she also knew Qiao Xi was making sense. She compromised, "Then you help me ask, ask right now over the phone."

Qu Jiashu also said, "Xi Xi, just help ask. Let Qu Keke understand what failure feels like."

Her life had been too smooth, proud and arrogant. Aside from the matter with Shen Dang, she had never experienced any other setbacks.

But Shen Dang is Shen Dang, she had only wanted to marry into the Shen Family, never pursued Shen Dang. Now, she planned to chase after a man.

She needed to realize that not everything in the world goes as one wishes.

Qu Keke glared at him, "Brother!"

Is that the way to talk?

As soon as Qiao Xi saw Qu Keke, she knew the siblings’ intention, "Okay, then I’ll make a call and ask."

Qu Keke’s eyes twinkled, "Then you can also ask if he wants to come out and have dinner together."

Qiao Xi swept her gaze over Qu Keke coolly.

Qu Keke gave a flattering smile, urging her, "You call, make it quick."

Qiao Xi dialed Chen Jiayan.

After a few rings, the call was quickly answered.

"Xi Xi."

Chen Jiayan’s light voice came through.

Qu Keke eagerly leaned towards Qiao Xi, trying to catch a bit of Chen Jiayan’s voice.

Qiao Xi gave Qu Keke a side-long look, not bothering with her.

She asked Chen Jiayan directly, "Brother Jiayuan, do you remember Miss Qu Keke whom we met at Xiaotang Mountain last time?"

"I have some impression, what’s up?"

He remembers me!

Qu Keke’s mouth immediately curled up into a girlish, charmed expression.

Seeing her like this, Qiao Xi thought that she had really fallen in love; who would have thought that love at first sight existed in this world.

She cleared her throat, "It’s like this, Qu Keke would like your mobile number. It’s not my place to meddle in your private affairs, so I’m asking for your permission."

After a few seconds, Chen Jiayan’s voice came through, "Is she with you now?"

Qiao Xi didn’t hide anything, "Mhm."

"Then hand her the phone, I’ll talk to her."

Chen Jiayan’s voice was unfluctuating, as detached as if it didn’t concern him.

"Okay."

Qu Keke quickly grabbed Qiao Xi’s phone, put it to her ear with a coy voice, "This is Qu Keke."

Qu Keke’s face, previously lively and charming, instantly looked dejected as whatever Chen Jiayan said hit her. She hung her head, a picture of emotional hurt, wilted like frostbitten eggplant.

Qu Keke returned the phone to Qiao Xi and scooted over to the car window, creating a distance from Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi: "..."

Qiao Xi looked down to see the call had ended.

"What’s the matter?"

Although his sister was a bit off in the head, Qu Jiashu was still quite concerned.

Qu Keke humphed and turned her head to dully watch outside, not saying another word for the entire trip.

Qiao Xi and the Qu siblings arrived at Xiaotang Mountain. As soon as Qu Keke entered, she automatically blocked out everyone else and sat in the corner.

Seeing Qiao Xi and Qu Jiashu come in after her, Su Tutu called out to Qiao Xi, "Xi Xi."

Qiao Xi sat down beside Su Tutu, who sized her up, "How come you came with them?"

"Jiashu came to pick me up."

"Boss Shen?"

"He’s on a business trip."

Su Tutu teased, "Boss Shen is on a business trip and you still willingly come out alone?"

Qiao Xi lifted her eyelids to look at her, "What are you implying? If Brother Chao isn’t around, do you just vanish?"

Su Tutu giggled and hugged Sheng Chao’s arm, resting her head on it, "Right, I wouldn’t come if Chao weren’t here."

"Couples should obviously be together." Sheng Chao lowered his head and kissed Su Tutu’s lips as if no one else was present.

Qiao Xi couldn’t bear to look; these two had no shame.

"Don’t do that; I won’t be able to eat later."

At that moment, Tang Honghe hung up his phone from the balcony and strolled in, "Lately I don’t know what Wenbai has been up to. He said he’s busy and won’t come. Brother Dang isn’t here either, how boring."

"If you’re bored, you can go home," retorted Qu Jiashu, eyeing him.

"I’ve been invited out tonight, so I at least have to eat my fill before I can go back, right, sister-in-laws?"

Tang Honghe smiled merrily at Qiao Xi and Su Tutu.
