"Isn't that right?" Qiao Qiao frowned. "She said you're a top student from medical school."

“I did graduate from medical school, but… if I were to go to the hospital, I’d probably spend most of my time in the morgue.” Zhao Jinxiu shrugged.

"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback.

"I am a forensic pathologist, I dissect corpses."

Everyone was stunned. They had just thought it was a bit incongruous for such a pretty and cute girl to be a doctor, but they didn't expect that something even more incongruous was yet to come.

"Hehe." Qian Meiqi laughed awkwardly, "Forensic medicine is medicine too, there's nothing wrong with that."

Everyone laughed along, agreeing that there was nothing wrong with it, except that the discrepancy was quite large.

"Alright, let's go out and get something to eat first." Qian Meiqi hurriedly called everyone to leave the lounge, then headed straight for the dining area, found a corner to sit down and chat while eating.

"Meiqi, I never imagined your cousin was a forensic doctor." Hongxia couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Yeah, I never expected her to be a forensic doctor. I always thought that with her appearance, dissecting a corpse with a scalpel... ugh." Qian Meiqi shuddered, not daring to think about it.

“That’s what you call reverse cuteness.” Le Yao took a sip of juice, then glanced around the hall and immediately spotted a few familiar faces. She then nudged Qiao Qiao: “Isn’t that Young Master Wei? Is he with Lin Qianqiu?”

Qiao Qiao glanced at Wei Meng and Lin Qianqiu: "My second brother is such a blockhead. Miss Lin is a nice person, but he's clueless and doesn't like her. There's nothing we can do. It's normal for her to be with someone else, isn't it? I just wonder if my second brother will regret it in the future."

Le Yao nodded, agreeing that it was indeed true. No matter how much someone likes another person, they would get tired if they never received a response.

Qiao Qiao smiled and said, "Shall we go over and say hello?"

“I’m not very familiar with them, so I don’t want to go.” Le Yao shook her head. She wanted to divorce Nangong Jue, so she wanted to leave the wealthy class and become a hidden tycoon after getting the money from Shengli Group. It would be nice to go back to Lishuzhuang to farm after graduation.

Since I'm already so rich, I don't need to look for a job at all. Hmm, just living a life of leisure and doing nothing sounds really appealing.

"Then we won't go." Qiao Qiao made a decisive decision.

Soon, more and more customers arrived.

Le Yao spotted two familiar faces: Yang Jinxuan and Yan Zimeng. The plot has taken a turn; it seems the female lead has been replaced by a different male lead? However, the two do seem well-matched.

Yan Zimeng also noticed Le Yao, but she didn't come over. She just stared at her coldly for about five seconds before haughtily looking away.

Le Yao secretly patted her chest; this girl's eyes were quite frightening.

Just then, several more people walked in through the door, led by Nangong Jue, followed by Wu Ya and Hao Kai.

Qiao Qiao poked Le Yao: "You dog of a man."

"I want to leave." Le Yao sighed. She was afraid that he would think she was using this as an excuse to pester him, which was the typical mindset of a domineering CEO.

Moreover, Han Binglan in the original book did exactly that, inquiring about Nangong Jue's whereabouts and then creating an encounter.

She didn't want to take the blame.

"Why should I leave?" Qiao Qiao rolled her eyes at Le Yao. "This isn't his house. Why should you leave just because he's here?"

“That’s true.” Le Yao nodded. “The hotel’s pastries are indeed quite good. I need to try them all before I can make them when I get back.” Then she pretended to be nonchalant and continued eating and drinking.
